Some aut! have expressed the view that the appo of. women would be unconstitutional. To clear this phase of the question, the Government ha decided to ask the Canadian Supreme Court for|+; ally a ruling. Of course, there will be eymies who willjthat the allocations were revoked, it brings tc gay that the Government will be in hot water mind that nearly 11,000,000 ounces of the silver if the Court’s opinion favors the women, and allocated was actually minted into subsidiary the Court in hot water if it holds otherwise. gaine HOW WRALRG thet the BHBGRtions WarG o voked? The explanation given is that these coin: were later melted again and that the bullion wa returned to the siiver-dollar account. The legal- ity of such procedure may well be questioned for under the Pittman Act such allocations were to be regarded actual sales, calling for re- placement by an equivalent amount of silver purchased at the dollar price. he Secretary and Director Cr the. cry that to complete the silver purchases in accordance with the law would be . equivalent to making a gift to the producers trom public funds. Herc again they would ignore the law. It was strictly in accord with the text and in- tent of the Pittman Act that the Treasury should pay $1 for silver purchased under its provisions when the metal was cheaper on the open market. Anyone who understands the law and the reason for enacting it will realize that this was just. a some 4 old ed one has z""‘ 4 Senator Thomas Pittman Act and ulting from as En ing and Mining Journal 1926 fhe matter of allocations ibsidiary coinage he dealt with As for the statement of the Treasury re- the ory We Th RED CROSS NOT DEMOB]I 1ZED. ago today truce ended the War for Democracy signed, rapidly as circumstan would permit with safe- ty to -the interests of the nations involved the agencies of were demobilized. That all except one, that the Red Although in rtime mission remains the same as in the days of peace, one of mercy, still it is one of the most essential services in war's train Yet while soldiers and sailors have returned to their peacetime trad armies reduced, navies pared down, the industries that were organized for mak- ing munitions and war materials re-organized into normal activities, the Red Cross still engages in its work of relief, its succor in times of local und national emergeney wherever the helping hand of charity is needed. Nearly one million persons, victims of 98 disasters, have received assistance from the Am- erican Red Cross during the organization's last fiscal year. In the Army, Navy and Marine Corps camps, and in other Government hospitals, where lie 25,000 disabled veterans of the World War, it has assisted an average of almost 24,000 per- sons each month in the same period. Throughout the civilized world, and especially in this country, floods raging over thousands of miles, fires destroying whole villages, tornadoes and hurricanes sweeping over entire States, and death-dealing explosions, combined to make the year one of unprecedented calamities. Figures taken from the organization's annual report show that more persons have required assistance from the Red Cross this vear than in any like period in the history of the country. While the great Mississippi flood was largely responsible for this, the Red Cross was called on to give assistance following 76 other disasters in this country, in addition to 21 foreign catastrophes. Tornadoes lead the list of American disasters for the last year with 28 and floods run a close seeond with 21. Next on the list are fires, * which ravaged parts of 11 communities. The other disasters were miscellaneous catastrophes, such as hurricanes, mine explosions, hailstorms, railroad wrecks and disease epidemics. The two outstanding disasters of the was When nine ye that as ret it. war is nt now raise and Cross. stit it its 08, The South African Flag. (Manchester Guardian.) - A solution at last seems possible of the South African flag question, which has execited the Union out of all proportion to its importance. Mr. Tielman Roos, Minister of Justice and right- hand man of the Prmier, now announces that when Parliament meets in special session this week the Government will be prepared to con- sider sympathetically the Senate’s amendments to the Flag.Bill. The Senate, which has taken throughout this lamentable controversy an ad- mirably dispassionate attitude, suggests a design for the national flag on which the main feature shall be a sheild quartered with the Union Jack, the old Transvaal Vierkleur, the old Orange Frec State flag, and four gold stars on a blue ground to symbolize the Union of the States. It is a compromise that would appear admirably to satisfy the sentiments of all parties. It might well have been adopted before a calamitous flood of racial antagonism was let loose. Coupled as it is with the emphasis Mr. Roos lays on the fact that the Union Jack remains the flag of South Africa in its Imperial relationships, it leaves no grievance for Bri South Africans. L1 Character Basis of Citizenship. (Seattle Business Chronicle.) Woodrow Wilson left behind his ennobling thoughts relative to public institutions. “A fine "lexample of his profundity is found in the pre- cept that self-government is a form of char: acter, not a mere form of institution to be had when desired There is good reading for .the present generation in his analysis of this “‘chi y In{acter.”” He declares that it follows upon the $4,600,000“long discipline” that gives a people self-poses- ¢, [sion, self-mastery; “the habit of order and peace and common counsel, and a reverenc of the law which will not fail when they them- selves hecome the makers of the law.” the id year were and the Florida hurricane ‘the Mississippi Valley flood of this Florida, the organization expended . for the relief of approximately 40,000 suffere; " carrying on a relief and reconstruction program over a peilod of five months.
