Italy’s Plight The Rome Messagero in a recent issue makes this com plaint: Italy's poverty is illustrated by the’ adverse internat- jonal trade balance from January 1 to March 31, of 487,- 000,000 lira, as compared with 1,092,000,000 during the same | period of last, year. Unless creditor nations co-operate with debtor nations, not only to lighten war debt payments but also to create means for payment, the interallied debt policy will be founded upon the same illusions as was the reparation policy. Italy has no money beyond what is absolutely neces- for the immediate needs of the budget. Her position is in- finately worse than that of Germany: Aid, -howeyer is being deliberately denied in England by imposing a protective tariff and in the United States by restricting immigration. This is the usual European howl. Italy is in no harder lines than are other states, Always, since the war the bid | is for sympathy and help and that something be done to rescue, If we could only hear anvecho from the other side, just o | that somebody was so busy at work, they did not have time | to complain, but needed help because they had larger plans | | to execute, there would be no lack of help from this side. It is the eternal whining that makes us lose interest in Europe. gets on our nerves and Fifty Thousand Austrians Austria wants to send fifty thousand emigrants to the United States. The Austrian labor chamber has sent a memo. | randum to the government of that country asking it to take | such steps at Geneva as may persuade the league of nations to appeal to the United States to allow it to send fifty thous and picked men to this country. Austria’s quota to the United States for the next three years is said to have been exhausted. Sidestepping a Cat Fight It was a pretty catfight the Democrats were getting into by, at this time, supplanting Clem Shaver, their national chairman with Representative Oldfield of Arkansas.

Davis the nominal party leader, around whom the 1924 organization was formed s still strong enough to step in and prevent the consummation of the MeAdvo designs. Now the old organization will qnietly proceed’ on-its way until such time as John W. Davis and Clem Shaver deem propitious to obviate further party split into antagonistic groups, when they will retire from the forefront and per- mit the hundred four members of the national committee to choose a chainman best suited to the part¥’s good fortune. Valuable Help Edueational, recreational, social and medical activities in the United States and abroad received gifts totaling $6.580,- 987 from the Laura Spelman Rockefeller memorial during 1924. Donations totalling $2,154,580 for research work in social and political science were made to various colleges and universities including the London School of Economics and Political Sci- ence, in England. It ye more than $100,000, to libra in foreign 197,500 for study of child life and child welfare; Girl Scouts national organization; $50,- 000 to the Salvation Army; $155,700 to various recreational and playground orgar i $20,200 to Young Women’s Christian association organizations and, $209,000 to Young Men’s Christian associations, Assaults Taxation The seeretary of the treasury is net a bit less shy than Vice President Dawes in going out and advocating his ideas about taxation and what’is best for all concerned. He shows his courage by invading Dixie, talking to the people of the south where he expects the greatest opposition to his ideas in the next congress. He is not going to enter the eategory of oratory and wind- jammers but speaks in-a plain conversational yoice. He dis- cusses taxes as to their effect on every American household. He is emphatic that any tax bill drawn on “soak-the rich” lines will never accomplish the expected soaking. The effect of such laws has been to put a premium on with- drawing money from activity and investing it out of reach of the soakers in tax exempt bonds, Boosting Trade “It’s being done.” Queens, princesses, princes and hoble ladies haye permitted use of their pictures and signatures in the advertising of various articles. Among them are the Queens of Rouman Belgium and Sweden, Princess Mary of England, Lady Diana Manners and Mrs, Reginald iderbilt. This is Washington society's comment on the fact that Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of the late President Roose- velt and wife of the speaker-designate of the house, is sitting for a portrait to be used to advertise a brand of beauty cream, for which she will be paid $5,000, the money, however, to be placed in the bank in the name of Paulina Longworth, the three-months-old daughter. ModMamennGald ‘Standard Asa part of arrangement by the federal reserve banks of the United States to help the Bank of England to maintain the gold standard, the federal reserve bank of New York under- takes to sell gold on credit_to the Bank of England from time to time during the next tWo years, not to exceed $200,000,000 outstanding at any one time, the credit to bear interest to the extent that it is actually used at one per cent aboye the New York reserve bank’s discount rate, with a minimum of 4 per cent and a maximum of 6 per cent, or, if the federal reserve discount rate exceeds 6 per cent, then at the rediscount, rate of the bank, The rate of interest to be paid by the British goy- ernment on the eredit thus established is to be determined in a similar manner. Railroad Outlay The Class 1 railroads expended $4,847,700,000 in 1924 for maintenance, and operation, with purchase of materials, in 1924, The outlay is divided thus: wages $2,629,902,000; mater. ials, including fuel 100; purchase of new equipment, and improvements, 3,000; taxes, approximately $340, 100,000. Dividends are given 0,000,000 and interest cl ges a8 $510,000,000, The cost of fuel $471,656,000 for the year is reported as 24 per cent less than in 1923, due to greater con servation ¢ ight traffic. f coal and 6 per cent less fr Who’s Who Missouri's new senator, George H.

Public Utilities Extraordinary progress has been made in the expansion and develop- r sf ths p utility industry in thes United States the past few years. This-progress has been based on three conditions, First, in the constantly increasing demand in this country for the services which the public utilities in general render; second, in the constructive progress that has been made in regulation of the industry through legislation and clarification of the existing laws for public utility regulation; and third, in the abundance of capital that {s now available for investment in sound Interest and dividend bear- ing obligations. Along with these favoring conditions, great steps have been taken in the direction of scien- tific progress and in the field of ad- ministration of the publié utilities. Without advances in every one of those directions, progress of the in- dustry as a whole would have been retarded, It 8 important that the public should be fully informed about this industry, to know in what direction the trend is, for there is hardly an industry in the country with which the public comes into closer contact. | It is an industry that sells simply service, Not one of the major} branches of the public utility indus- | try manufactures a commodity in | the usual commercial meaning of the word. We start the day with | a turn of a faucet on arising and | water flows without any physical | effort on our part; a service pco- | vided by the water company. We | light a gas range to cook breakfast; a service provided by the local ga company. We ride to our respective places of business in a trolley car or by # rapid transit system in a big city; @ service provided by the local traction company. We ascend to our offices in an elevator which is operated by electric power sup- plied by the local power company. We transact business with custo- aver the wholesome spread for bread NUCOA made from high grade coconut oil, refined peanut oil, and milk- that’s all ———. mers verbally in the same city or even in another state without leav- ing our desks; a service provided by the telephone company, We press an electric button, a messenger ap- pears, and a telegram is despatched to any part of the world or to a ship at sea; a service provided by the telegraph company. “And after the day’s work is done we settle down in a comfortable chair to read the evening newspaper by the light with the expenditure of a minimum of an electric floor lamp. Meanwhile, the housewife at home, with the expenditure 0” a minimum of effort, washes the clothes on Monday with an electric washing machine; frons on Tuesday with an electric iron; mends on Wednesday with an electric sewing machine; prepares the ices for Thursday's bridge with the aid of an electric refrigerator; sweeps on Fridey with an electric vacuum cleaner, and bakes on Saturday on an electric or gas range. Without these servic which are made possible by the pub- | le utility industry, standapds of liv ing in this country would be set back where they were a hundred years ago. Progress in the public service field is dependent on an ample sup- ply of capital, and it is essential that the public should appreciate that future progress will depend, ac- cordingly, on the ability of that cap- ital to earn a ‘reasonable return. Otherwise that capital will not be available when St is needed most. The cost of utility service to the public is one thing that grown | ae “~best for the home. FRIDAY, JUNE 268 Sao ere eaves once oa relatively cheaper as the years pass.
