On :the other hand, American investors repurchased American securi- ties previously purchased by foreign investors to the amount of $534,000,000. The balance of trade in securities, therefore, would show that Americans invested in foreign countries $859,000,000 in excess of foreign in- vestments in this country. That is, we pur- chsed foreign securities to the amount of §1,- 447,000,000 and repurchased American securities previously sold to foreigners in the sum of .$534,- 000,000, making a total of §$1,981,000,000. Against this, foreign investors repurchased for- elgn securities sold last year and previously amounting to $486,000,000 and purchased $636,- 000,000 of American securities, or a total of foreign investments in this country amounting to $1,122,000,000. CHARGES CHARITY FUNDS MISAPPROPRIATED. Max Steur, famous New York lawyer who has just returned from KEurope where he in- vestigated the manpner of expending the money raised in the United States for the relief of starving people in that Continent, declared that & substantial part of the money ‘‘never reached either the places or the people for whom it was collected and intended.” He said, further, a lot of the money that was not misappropriated was wastefully expended. He declared, however, that the monies subscribed in America for Jewish relief abroad and expended through the Jewish societies had ‘*all reached their 'appropriate destinations and were economically administered and much reliet was obtalned.” When asked if the money that did not reach those for whom it was intended was “stolen,” he sald it was. PROHIBITION AS A POLITICAL MACHINE BUILDER. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Lowman has asked for 30,000 dry agents to enforce Pro- hibition in the Southern District of New York —just two agents for each policeman in Greater New York with its 7,600,000 people. Gov. Smith recently voiced a suspicion that Mr. Lowman wants 30,000 salaried workers as a mobile force for his political machine—30,000 men to speak for the Administration in political campaigns. The circumstance that Prohibition enforce- ment agents permitted Pittsburgh saloons to advertise and give free drinks for three days to all voters who would agree to cast their bal- for the remomination of Senator Pepper, is proof, if proof were needed, that the Prohibition Enforcement outfit is a political organization, political organizations become more effective added salaried workers, And this suggests one of the worst features Prohibition: It has in more menacing degree hany any other branch of the public service e objections that might be raised against y.

The lignite coal fields of Alaska, the largest in the world, are certain in time to furnish the principal supply of gasoline and other by-products to the consumers of the United States. The Ger- man chemical process by which lignite is reduced to coal tar, and the coal tar then distilled identically as natural oil is distilled, producing the same results, is more and more the sensation of the oil and coal world Fifteen thousand men are employed in Ger- many building plants to treat German lignite, and Englund is following suit. The time will come when the oil wells of the United States will go dry, as they have done in many sections. That time is not so far off. But long . before that time, the cheapened processes of distilling lignite coal tar will bring the Alaska lignite fields into commercial use on a large scale. Ii is not stretching the imagination to visualize the port of Seward as the biggest ship- ping center in the world for gasoline, distillate, fuel oil, and other by-products, obtained from the 50,000,000,000 tons of lignite tributary to the Alaska Railroad. That enormous lignite field can supply the United States in gasoline and fuel oil at the present rate of consumption for 500 years. Danger of Overdoing It. (Pittsburgh number of are planned for Post-Gazette.) A long-aistance overseas flights the remaining weeks of sum- mer, including hops both ways across the At- lantic. 1Is it not time for somebody with at least moral authority to interpose? The great gamble is costing too many lives. There is a strong revulsion of sentiment against it. Lindbergh' did a magnificent thing; the season shall eclose with another half-socre of fatalities written on the record, the year 1927 may yet be labeled as one which marked a positive setback to the larger cause of aviation. It has been proved that the thing can be done. It has also been proved that with present machines and motors the chances are overwhelm- ingly against success in any flight that can now be regarded as spectacular. but if No Hurry, No Hurry. (New York World.) Prohibition news as set forth in an Associated Press despatch from Buffalo: From six to nine months more will be required by the present administra- tion of the Federal Prohibition Burean before definite conclusions can be reach- ed as to whether the Eighteenth Amend- ment can be enforced, Prohibition Com- missioner James M. Doran said today after a conference with Federal offi- cials. Well, gentlemen, take your time. We have put in eight years now on this experiment, and when we reach our conclusions we certainly don't want to go off half-cocked. Take your full nine months. Gazooks!—take a year! Judge Cardozo for The Hague. f (Nwe York World.) The news that Chief Judge Cardozo of the New York Court of Appeals has been invited by President Coolidge to represent this country at The Hague as one of our members of the In- ternational Court of Arbitration is gratifying for more than one reason. To be-asked to act with Elihu Root, Charles B. Hughes and John Bassett Moore, succeeding Oscar S. Straus, is an honor well deserved by this distinguished jurist. And the fact of Judge Cardozo’s selection will serve also to remind citizens of the Republic that ini the constitution of The Hague Court their Na-| | specder tion took the leading part; that there was a time when we were willing, were honorably eager, to join with other countries in a well-meant en- deavor to, substitute law and reason. for blood- shed in the settling of international disputes.
