PAYNE, BURNS & SMITH NEW YORK : : : Fifth Ave. Bldg. lil ce cate NY (Official City, State and County Newspaper) The United States in South America The statement that American intervention in Latin-American republics had resulted in the slaughter of thousands of their citizens was made = by Horace G. Knowles; former American minister . to Nicaragua and other countries, several days ago. 3 He made the statement at a round table discus- | sion sponsored by the Institute of Politics and fortunately there was a man present who, by his _ knowledge of the situation in the southern repub- lics, was able to refute the statement and bring — forth facts to show that the American weakness in F handling South American affairs had been too little aggressiveness and not too much of it. That man was Commander John Shafroth of the United States navy. Mr. Knowles claimed that “we have imposed our | force on weak, helpless and defenseless countries and slaughtered thousands of their citizens. We) have attacked them when they expected we would defend them. We have used the Monroe doctrine ‘to prevent sympathetic European nations going to their rescue when we abused them.” He went on to say that “this country sent con- cession hunters, conscienceless and usurious bank- ers, avaricious capitalists, bribers, commercial) :tricksters, murderers, soldiers to shoot them, in- stead of teachers, instructors and helpers.” To this, Commander Shafroth replied by st we Wi “out that soldiers were sent to the southern nations to preserve law and orler, and not to use force “unless law and order have been rendered nugatory. It is surprising that a man who should have represented the United States in a diplomatic capac- tity should have said the things Mr. Knowles did, and it can be explained only by assuming that he! let himself be a little too receptive to the argu- ments of political’ parties opposed to the.law and order which the United States represents. Despite all the hullabaloo that has been raised about it, the fact remains that our policy in South America has been consistently humane and far-see- ting. There has been no attempt at. intimidation. In such cases where it has been necessary to use force, it has been used, as Commander Shafroth pointed out, only when disturbance of the peace of any country has been so serious that drastic meas- ures have been necessary. : It is only natural for those who see the chance to , enrieh themselves +o become enraged when they see a country like the United States step in to prevent :a smaller nation from being robbed and looted. That some diplomats should adopt more of a ju-; : dicial attitude when in these countries it is painfully apparent from the ststements of Mr. Knowles. Fortunately, none of .Wierica’s other ministers to South America have had their vision twisted as; he has.

Gary’s wisdom did not, extend only to events of his day, but into the future 5 as well. This is shown by the sage advice on the ;, Sdministratoin of his property which he gave his > family in his will, ° 2 , So that not only his immediate descendants but of his children as well might administer their wisely, he made a little statement in the t DETROIT | {believe that teaching positions should squandered their money foolishly; too often have bereaved w tened to smooth-tongued salesmen and lost that which had been saved for them through years of work, Such a code as Judge Gary gives deserves the widest possible circulation, And it applies equally well to the average man who wants to add to his income only through substantial and honest means, as to the heirs of any estate. H stl tg tare ta Presidential Vacations The outcome of President Coolidge’s trip to Yel- ‘lowstone Park shows pretty conclusively why a | president’s vacation trips are even lest restful than those of the average citizen. President Coolidge went to Yellowstone to relax. Has he been able to do it? Very little. He went to the Black Hills for the same reason. Most of his relaxation there consisted of being snapped at 45 ifferent angles by 45 different news photographers. Wherever he has gone, he has been followed by a | | curious crowd, and by the very nature of his position | he is helpless to prevent it. A couple of years from now he can come back to the park and wander about much as he pleases, with no one to bother him. But now he is proving of more interest than the natural | wonders which he journeyed to see. It would seem that the only way a president could |relax would be to make a strict rule that he might have two or more months of every year to himself. Such a rule might not jibe strictly with the prin- ciples of democracy, but it would be more humane and it would insure our keeping a good man for the full length of his term and then letting him live a long and useful life, instead of cutting him off at & comparatively early age, as we have done with our curiosity and lion-chasing to the past two presidents. Cuba the Goat The sugar crop of Cuba this year was limited to 4,500,000 tons. President Machado now announces that the limit for the next crop probably will be fixed at 4,000,000 tons. This restriction is the result of overproduction, the Cubans having faced somewhat the same situa- ‘tion that the South faced through its great cotton crop of last year. It would seem logical to cut the supply to meet the demand. But here another factor enters. Other countries besides Cuba grow sugar. They get better prices for their crop as a result of the Cuban restrictidn, but in these other countries no effort is made toward curtailment at all; rather the opposite is the aim—to produce as much as possible and benefit by the good prices. Thus during the last year while Cuban companies were having not so rosy a time of it, producers in other countries waxed fat on the profits. Cuba has been the goat in this. Artificial tampering with prices where there is no monopoly of supply is not the safest measure to use. Probation Overdone (Chicago. Tribune) The Chicago crime commission has demonstrated tion to the extraordinary extent of probation in commission. reports that during June our judges putas many offenders on probation, after a finding of guilt, as they sent to Joliet or Pontiac.. In that month 45 were sentenced to Joliet and 21 to Pon- tiac, while 66 were found guilty and put on pro- bation. Nor is this a very exceptional ratio. From January to July, inclusive, 432 were. sentenced to Joliet or Pontiac and 324 released on probation. We think this is overdoing probation, and our opinion is strengthened by the commission’s analy- sis of the offenses thus dealt with in the June record, namely: Ten robberies with guns, nine rob- beries, two assaults with intent to rob, 12 burglaries, | me dead, God. Strike me dead!” she 15 larcenies, two receiving stolen property, three embezzlements, four forgeries, five confidence games, three conspiracies, and three other offenses. The record for the half year is of the same char- acter. The greater number of the offenses for which leniency is granted are of a serious nature, involving violence, and we think the commission will have the approval of public opinion when it suggests that, with all due regard for the benefits of proba- tion in really deserving cases, the release of so many offenders guilty of crimes of violence or other grave crimes calls for serious consideration. It in- dicates a tendency to relax the discipline of justice which is*in danger of discrediting the principle of probation and defeating the restraining influence of the law. Too Many Teachers (Chicago Tribune) , There are 2,000 more public school teachers in Chicago than there are positions for them to oc- cupy. The eversupply, which appears tobe on the increase, is causing some anxiety t2 ‘the school administration. A nuthber of proposals have been made to meet the situation. One of them is to grant each teacher the right to take a year’s leave of absence for travel and study every seventh year. The proposal is not a bad one.’ It need add nothing to the cost of running the schools. The plan de- serves consideration, not as a means of employing more teachers, but as @ means of improving the quality of the teaching. We cannot see that the oversupply of applicants for positions need cause any worry. Nw one is obliged to teach school in more applications than positions, it’ls a dieation of the desirability of positions, cago school system. Old-fashioned’ emp say that under the circumstances would be justified. We do not share that y enough to attract men and women of intelligence and character. At the same time the great demand for teaching positions in Chicago is an effective janswer to those who insist that tha teachers here are abused, greatly underpaid, and discontented.
