SALE: Neither Great Britain nor Germany can be said to have made much headway toward regaining their foreign mar- kets lost during the war. On the other hand, Uncle Sam shows a healthy growth each year. American machinery exports for the fiscal year ending June 30 last increased in value 13 million dollars, a 14 per cent gain over the 117-million-dollar total of the year | previous. British industry records for 1923 showed a 40 per cnt decline in export trade from pre-war figures and the Ger- man trade a 33 1-3 per cent drop in the same period. Germany in particular is handicapped in this industry by loss of her connections abroad, by high interest rates, taxa- tion and high freight charges. CONFLICTING How these naval officers do love each other—as we see. when the comparative irresponsibility of retirement upse' “ratings” and unseals their tongues. Says Admiral Jones of Admiral Fullam: “I wouldn’t call Admiral Fullam an air expert, nor a modern expert on naval matters.” : Says Admiral Fullam of Admiral Jones: “I instructed Admiral Jones as a midshipman, and with full knowledge of his original equipment and of his subsequent and preseni professional attainments it is not conceited on my part, but well within the bounds of modesty, to declare that I am stil! | fully competent to instruct Admiral Jones in every depar ment of ‘modern’ naval warfare.” | Where, the code duello being obsolete, the matter rests. LIKE FATHER— Whether you agreed with Theodore Roosevelt’s politics or not you had to admire the man’s honest democracy and his disregard of the foolish conventions of “society.” And Alice Roosevelt Longworth seems to be more her father’s son than any or her brothers. You read where she called at the State Department in Washington the other day, carrying her daughter, Paulina, around in her automobile in a 65-cent market basket. The main issue was Paulina and not the looks of the thing, and, as the young lady appeared to enjoy herself as much in her market basket as she would have in a more peporate affair, that was good enough for the democratic ice. ; GOOD Under Indiana’s new prohibition code, hailed as the most drastic legislation in the history of the state, possession of just one ounce of liquor is prime facie evidence of guilt and is punishable by fine and jail penalty. ° * Other provisions are equally as severe, especially the granting of power of arrest to railroad employes, . But there is one section that should find favor with every- one, friend and foe of prohibition alike, and that is the pro- yision that the wife or children of a man injured as a result of intoxication may recover damages from those who fur- nished the liquor. reas os Se er of illicit whisky is a violator, of course, but he ilty as the bootlegger who puts the temptation in is not as gu inp neimcee _ Editorial Review Comments reproduced in thie columa may or imap Bot xpress the opinion of The Tribune.

Rowell The archaeologist has taken the place of the explorer. There are still worlds to conquer, but their distance is in time, not in space. The buried past exhumes its records, and our horizon expands as sensationally as it ever did in the days of the yoyagers. Carthage, Ur of the Chaldees, Sumerian Babylon, older and ever older Egyptian dynasties, find new voice, and the taboo is lessening even on Palestinnia excavation. The near future may unearth contemporary Old Testa- ment documents or inscriptions. Just as our ancestors had to learn geography to keep up with the news, so we may have to learn history. Already the absurdity of the headline writer’s obliviousness to chron- Soon he’ will have to develop a perspective which realizes the dif- ference between a hundred, a thou- sand and a million years ago. As it is, “King Tut” is still the standard of ultimate _ancientness, and is contemporary with the dino- saur, the trilobite and the saber- toothed tiger and even older than Columbus. But if this confusion becomes. fun- ny to even a minority of readers, the headline man will get his dates as intelligent as the sporting writer has to get his scores, or the society editor the initials of ‘those present. Newspaper readers get “accuracy” wherever they demand it. - But even in the spatial exploration of the world, there are still places to go. The proposed expedition of two of the Roosevelt brothers— which gets into the news because they are Roosevelts—is a reminder that much of the route of Marco Polo, the first great traveler, ‘is still as difficult as when he explored it, six hundred and fifty years ago. The land route across central Asia, by Tibet and the Gobi, the western provinces of China, the fastnesses of Siberia, the upper stretches of Bur- mese rivers, the interior of Sumatra and Madagascar—these are a few of Polo’s journeyings in which no Eur- opean followed him for six centur- ies and which are a real adventure even for the sons of venturesome Theodore Roosevelt to undertake now. « And, if the exploration of the land is not yet finished, that of the sea is just beginning. The Sargasso. sea, which the Phoenecian navigators knew, which Columbus crossed, but which is still so little known that even modern myth has peopled it with Punic gal- leys, Roman triremes and Castilian caravels entangled in its weeds, is now being really explored for the first time. The bottom of the sea is getting its first real mapping and the strange FABLES 0) ! fee ' hands and mouth,” ‘replied wishes to be given tober’ jones to her husband's question, to learns is to place its fist in creatures of the Abyss are coming! ology is recognizable to at least some of his readers. to light. There are still worlds to conquer. A Couple of Good Warnings Two men are in the news, both “broke” from gambling. “Babe” Ruth one can understand. Pile money into the hands of one without education, experience or imagination, and he is likely to know nothing to do with it except to finance on a large scale the primitive dissipations which his kind make their small ex- travagances, So, when the “Bambino” got a thousand dollars a week, he natur- ally “blew” it on the races, as the most familiar speculation within his ken. But Lieutenant Wood is different. Son of a distinguished father, him- self an educated army officer and an experienced man of the world—sure- ly it was not poverty of imagination that drove him to Monte Carlo. Both of them, of course, are chief- ly useful as warnings. The Forming of a Soviet The California Legislature has re- fused to nass a law against the “third degree” because the sheriffs objected, and has passed a bill for a “self-governing bar,” ‘because the lawyers wanted it. : Doubtless if the lawyers had realized that what they were form- ing was a soviet, they would have fled in terror from the name, in spite of the. obvious practical merits of their bill. And doubtless the sheriffs would not have objected to the penalization of the third degree if some legal method of accomplishing the same result were provided. Every culprit except the one at¥ the bar—your son, your pupil, your employe—has to stand questioning himself on the accusation. So does the culprit at the bar in evéry sj tem but ours. | It is the natural process, That is the reason it is done illegally and | irresponsibly. The best remeay would be to provide for doing it leg- ally and responsibly.

Today things are very different, John. Most women know they need not be economically dependent upon any man and so most of us ask for the same faith. and loyalty to our- selves from our husbands that our husbands require from us.
