The Mirage Italy’s dictator, maintains there can. be no such thing as liberty. “Liberty,” he says only in the imagination of philosophers, who seck their impractical phil- osophy from the sky, Civilization is the inversion of personal liberty. In the long run it resolves itself into a matter of space | —more space, more libert id those who would benefit from the advantages of civilization must necessarily pay in the coin of personal freedom. Mass cannot govern mass; quan- tity cannot govern quantity. Here Mussolini does not discover anything that has not been known for countless centuries. The philosophy he de- precates taugh these truths long ago. It is only in the imagina- } tion of professional idealists that liberty exists, and only the Fourth of July orators who uphold it. It should be remembered that in any case, the reverse side of freedom, is obedience, and without it there can be no,sem- blance of it. No one has stated this with more clarity than Calvin Coolidge. In his collection of speeches published as “The Price of Freedom,’ you will find him saying: “Inde- pendence is exceedingly exacting, self-control is arduous, self- government is difficult. ... This is the reason that to certain of our native born, and more ofien to our foreign-born, the American republic proves a disappointment. They thought that self-government meant the absence of all restraint, that independence meant living without work, and that freedom was the. privilege of doing what they wanted to do. “It has been a hard lesson for them to learn that self- »vernment is still government, that the rule of the people not mean absence of authority, that independence means support, and that complete freedom means complete obe- of the law. hey are disappointed more than ever when they learn, as ever they do, that these are so, not because they e been de d by some body of men, but that they are so by the na. ture of things, and all the governments in the world are pow: erless to change them.” dag Labor Not Foolish The recent action of the American Federation of Labor, to forsake, for all time, third party movements, is viewed by the Republicans as another sign thatethe leaders and the mem- bers of that organization appreciate that labor blocs are not only unproductive but are ineffective for advancing the cause of labor. The fact that under Republican administrations labor receives higher wages and has much steadier work, that the: is a greater element of general stability has no doubt had its influence in the making of this decision. that despite the protests of vast num- bers of prominent laborites that the federation was haled as bone of the third party movement in 1924, and that it furnished a goodly share of the money that was expended in behalf of the third party. The American workman has in- * telligence. He will continue to vote for the party under whose Jeade he enjoys the greatest benefits and the largest de- gree of prosperity. Trickery Will Not Work i The Republican party is determined to give to the coun- try an economical administration and to reduce taxes to as low a point as possible, which of course, is something that everyone desires. The Democratic leaders are, however, trying tat this early e to find some way to embarrass the president—one line of attack will be the introducing of bills that would cut revenues to a point where, if passed, would place this country in a position where it would have to issue bonds to meet current expenses. The issuance of such bonds would mean more tax exempt securities and incidentally more taxes. Their idea is to loudly proclaim to the people that the Democratic bills are better than those the Republicans adyo- Mussolini, dienc even cate—bunk—cheap political bunk—not clever enough to fool one hundred yoters in the entire country, but for want of a real live beneficial issue these leaders of the Democratic party ar scemingly not yet ware that the American people are not to be fooled with cheap, political tricks I akes Issue A. I. Johnson, head of the Railway Business association and former head of the Baldwin locomotive works, ‘takes is- sue with President Coolidge on the proposed merging of railroads into a few trunk lines which the president has ap- proyed. Mr. Johnson says: “The purpose sought in compul- sory consolidation of lroads is primarily equalization of rom the pockets of stockholders of profit- able roads and put into the pockets of those of unprofitable ones. The unprofitable road is a serious problem because it retards the prosperity of the public. A real difficult problem is here presented. Congress is not well qualified to unde ke its solution because congressmen know little or nothing of earnings, to take the financial and econdmic considerations involved. popularity and re-election and are thus susceptible to clamor from communities and interests. affected. They are biased, they share no responsibility for results.” Better Not Strike That there may be a suspension in the anthracite fields, but no long coal strike seems to be the view of the administra. tion. By refusing to take any action the president has put it squarely up to both operators and miners, and public opinion has been concentrated against both sides in the controversy, tors and miners know this and, fearing action by the new y to resume nego- Ope congress which would cut both ways, are lik ’ ‘ + ations. Should a strike oceur, transportation facilities are in good condition to rush substitutes into regions dependent on anthracite, Wheat and Flour Grain exports last week from the United States were 3,840,- 000 bushels. Last week’s exports and those of the week before were: Wheat, 1,058,000 bushels, nst 861,000; rye, 174,000, against 0005 outs, 701,000, against 83,000; eorn, 100,000, inst 74,000; barley, 1,386,000, against 627,000. Canadian grains exported from United States ports were 998,000 bushels against 15,000 bushels, while North American exports of wheat flour were 170,000 barrels against 172,000 barrels, wnn-------15 and 16 Under the agreement of funding the Belgium debt to the ‘United States, all interest charges on the $171,000,000 actually loand to Bel- gium during the war with Germany will be foregone by the United States and the balance of the debt, approximately $246,000,000, which was loaned after the Armistice will be paid back over a sixty-two-year period with some rem{ssion of in- terest charge. On the “pre-Armis- tice loans" Belgium shall pay $1,000,- 000 in 1926 and the same amount in 1 » With increases in each of the next four years until {n.1932 the an- nual payment becomes $2,900,000. It will continue at this figure until 1937, when a final payment of $2,- 280,000 will be due. The “post Arm- istice debt” was fixed at $246,000,- 000 including accrued interest, while interest on this was fixed at the rate of 3% per cent, the Americans agreed to forgo a part of the inter- est for the first ten years.and abtt- rary amounts. were established, bringing a reduction of nearly $50,- 000,000. On the “post Armistice debt,” Belgium will actually pay during the sixty-two years $310,000,- 000 as an interest charge, in addi- tion to the'$246,000,000, of principal. The American commission explained that ‘a weighty moral obligation” attached to the United States in the matter of settling the Belgium debt by reason of proposals accepted by President Wilson at the Versailles Peace Conference, The commission refused, howeyer,, to accept a Bel- gium proposal that payments from Germany under the Dawes plan should be used to meet the Bel- gium account. The commission de- clared Belgium was entitled to fav- orable treatment but. with respect to war debts generally the American yolicy has undergone no change, and th» obligations of each nation will be considered in acordance with con- ditions confronting that nation. The Belgium agreement is not to be re. garded as a precedent in fixing the funding plans that may apply either to France or Ital World Topics Returning from a trip abroad Jobn N. Willys, chairman of the foreign trade committee of the Na- tional Automobile Chamber of Com- merce, predicted that the United States automobile factories will soon be shipping a quarter of their ott- put abroad. “It is my observation,” he stated, “that Europe is now on the verge of a similar motor development -to that which the United States exper- jenced in the past ten years. The people want to ride. “In conversations with public of- ficials abroad, it was apparent their point of view which has regarded the automobile as a luxury is rapidly shifting, and they recognize the de- sire on the part of the mass of the people that motor travel shall be encouraged. “The European, learning that mil- lions of American farmers own motor vehicles and that there {s one car to every other family in this country, raises the question of how he can, also enjoy these conyen- jences. 2 “As a result there is a tendency toward more favorable’ tariff ar- rangements, and taxation on a sound: basis—rather than the punl- tive levies which now exist in many countries. “Germany, industrially alert’ ts grasping the significance of motor transport and is planning to en- courage this mode of travel as far as possible. “American automobile plants will, I belHeve, in a short time, double the proportion of their output going to’the*foreign field. In a few years 25 per cent of our production will be sold abroad, “In tho past few years the United States has developed an enormous productive capacity and {t 4s logical that we shall become more and more & nation exporting manufacured products.” ——.——___ The President’s Son President Coolidge, with his char- acteristic common sense, pleads with the news writers and the photog- raphers to give his son, John, a chance to do hig duty at the military training camp at Devens, Mass., where the lad goes today, without the embarrassment and handicap of distinguishment.’ The boy has a hard enough time as it is withont being picked out everywhere he goes for separate attention. He has gore to camp merely as a young Amert- can intent upon fitting himself for possible service to his country. in case of need. He is a “man in the ranks”. The role of the president's son is a difficult one. However modest and unassuming a youth*may, be in that situation, he is the object of marked attention, and he is subjected to a severe test. It is natural, of course, for any boy to be proud of such a position. He must, of course, be proud of his father. ‘If he holds his head a little higher than others, it is\ doubtless because of that feeling and not through any arrogation of self-importance. So far this young man has borne himself with the most commendable quietude and be- fitting demeanor of modest devotion to study and to duty, It is to be hoped that the pres!- dent's request will: be ‘observéd Private John Coolidge at the Devens camp should be regarded as merely one of the men in line, Become a Headliner By “Artexum”.

It is not possible until the survey of the situation has been completed to tell how much money can be sayed by the re-organization of numerous bureaus of the govern: ment. Estimated figures run any- where from fifty to two hundred and fifty millions per year. The latter figure is probably too large, but every dollar than can be. saved means just so much less of a burden on the people.

Who’s Who The invention of a deep sea diy- ing apparatus by an American, Dr. Hans Hartman, has aroused wid spread interest in sclentific circ] By means of this contrivance wh fs a steel h cylinder equipped with 36-hour air sup- ply scientists are able to study the ocean's bed at depths of 5,000 to 15,000 feet. He is a mem- ber of the Royal Society of Arts and Sciences in London, Through realizations on earlier inven. tions in the field of mining en- gineering and electro - therapy he is a man of independent means. Experiments in oceanography have been conducted from his New York laboratory and in conjunction with the Prince of Monaco's work at Monte Carlo and northern Africa. First tests of the diving cylinder were made in 1911 Under the Mediterranean, while his deep sea photographic apparatus was de- veloped by means of tests from an American warship, made in co- operation with American naval authorities. On the Mediterranean trip which will serve to test the merits of his invention, Hartman will be accom- panied by seven scientists repre- senting America, England, Germany, and Spain, Be America’s Shame The United States no longer holds the world’s voting record. About forty years ago eighty per cent of the citizens went to the polls and yoted, This percentage gave us the lead, In 1920 and 1924 only about fitty “per cent of the American voters exercised the right of fran- chise. Consequently the United States flopped down to the tail in the list of voting nations, In the 1924 election in the House of Com- mons in Great Britain sevent per cent of the electorate exercis the right to vote, the right for which we fought Great Britain in 1776. In the first election under the institution of the German Republic seventy-five, per cent of all Germans, twenty years of age and over, voted, and in 1924 the percentage reached a total of eighty per cent and in the recent presidential election in April of this year the percentage reached a total of eighty-two per cent. The Australian average for twenty years show that about seventy-five per cent of the electorate vote; while New Zealand ran eighty per cent. In the recent elections of 1923-24 New Zealand and Queensland pro- duced a record of nearly"efghty-four per cent. Denmark, Belgium and Holland ranged from sixty to ninety. two per cenf, according to the elec: tion, thelr general average being about seventyfive per cent. France votes seventy per cent, owing to the electorate—that is, on the average, some districis make even a higher rating. Sweden and, Norway run Belgium and Denmark a close sec- ond.. In the recent election in Italy about sixty-fotr, per cent of the yoting population of men and women voted. Switzerland has a record of sevent,-six per cent.
