While the railway companies have tried to get the privilege of establishing a seven-cent fare, they have dsclared that they will continue to operate. They were not able to convince the courts that the five- | cent fare was confiscatory, and, apparently, they did not convince themselves. The point of this comment is the admission of the New York public ownership newspaper that a private can and will operate street | rail on a five-cent fare basis while the muni- cipality could not do so. Yet it is generally con- ceded that New York's City Government is very eficient in the management of public utilities—more | so than those of most towns. corporation GERMAN SPORTSMANSHIP VICTORIES. While Germany has been going through tha doldrums financially and industrially she has been making greater headway in the world of Anglo- Saxon athletics than ever before. A big, good natured and sportsmaniike German athlete recently won the weigk pugilistie, champmndnp of | the world. Pugilism is a sport that had béen almost exclusively ntified with English speaking people from the beginning. While it has been pushing its way to a place in France and the Latin, Scan- dinavian and Slavic countries for sometime it is new in Germany. But it has gone fast in that country since she became enthusiastic, and now Max Schmeling wears the world crown. But that is not all. The world has been aston- ished by the achievement of a German girl in winning the tennis c npionship, a title that was recently held by our Helen Wills. Not only is Fraulien Cilly Aussen the woman amateur tennis champion but in order to win the championship she had to defeat Fraulien Hilda Krahwinkel, also of Ger- many, in the finals after the other nationalities, American, English and French, had been eliminated. While the French have been playing championship tennis for many years, its greatest support has been in Great Britain and North America. AMERICA AND PROHIBITION. We have heard of inability to see a forest on account of the multitude and proximity of trees. ‘The idea applies ve! frequently to other things, including problems that are discussed so much that the average mind is overwhelmed with words. Some- times the man on a distant mountain can under- stand a forest better than one Who lives in it, and as often one who studied . a - political -or social controversy from a distance sees. clearer than those in the midst of the fray. A case in point is the succinct comment on the American Prohibition problem and the reason for it by Winston Churchill, famous British states- men. Mr. Churchill said: - The average Englishman, indignant at some scandal orill usage, feels he can put the matter right. The average American feels quite sure that he cannot. Public opinion and the sensitive flexibility of our Parliamentary institutions will very quickly sweep away in England an unpopular law. The American resigns himself to put up with or evade it . Having slipped into Prohibition unawares, America is unable to escape from its deadly embrace. The law cannot be altered, it ap- pears. Therefore it must be broken or and broken or evaded it has been without 'example in the history communities. evaded on a scale of self-respect lR AVEL STILL DECREASING.

In an anniversary number of The Rand Daily [ Mail of Johannesburg of May 30, celebrating twenty- one years of the Union of South Africa, Hedley A. | Chilvers asserts that the world will not presently face the prospect of a gold shortage, because pro- on the Rand is greater than ever, “At | depths of 7,000 feet there is,” he says, “no sign of an end to the great gold reefs.” The agricultural and industrial slump has driven to the mines of |the Witwatersrand natives and whites “who would otherwise have remained on the land or with other employers.” The working force is today 207,000 natives and 22,000 whites. Since 1910 the Rand production has been £761,731,739. Total since gold was discover=d in 1886, £1,080,000,000. Recently there has been debate about the pros- pect of a. falling off of gold production and unequal distribution of existing stocks of gold. One view has been that in the event of gradual exhaustion of the South African mines there would be too little gold unless new discoveries were made. South Africa leads the world in producing gold. Tha2 United States and Canada are far behind. S. Palmer Harman estimated in January that the world stock of gold money was $11,175,000,000. Mr. Chilvers de- clares that “the Rand should continue to add lib- erally to the gold stocks of the world for very many decades to come.” He admits that the en- gingers have had to go deep in some mines, and that ventilation and shoring overhead rock are ex- pensive. He reports that the reef at great depth shows a tendency to, flatten out like the inward curve of a bowl, “so that eventually our miners may not have to go deeper, but will be mining along in a direction parallel with the ground.” Formerly drilling machinery was cumbrous. The jack-hammer drill has made “a vast difference in the economics of deep-level mining.” It is de- seribed as “the greatest mining development since Union.” One result has been “an enormous reduc- tion in the number of natives employed on hand- Thus 60,000 natives are released for the; mining.” work of tramming, shoveling, hoisting and pump- ling. The industry is now at its peak, affirms Mr. { Chilvers Tariffs, War Debts and Gold. (Cincinnati Enguirer.) When he writes books on economic theory, Irving Fisher has no rival for complexity of phrase and baffling algebraic hieroglyphics, but addressing the Southwest Foreign Trade Conference at Oklahoma City Wednesday, he revealed an extraordinary clarity and earnestness, Half of Dr suasive appeal Another section Fisher's lengthy address is a per- for drastic reduction of our tariff is an equally convincing demand tion of war debts and reparations — not merely a moratorium. The remainder of the speech urges expansion of credit and stabilization of gold. These are the paths to business recovary, he says. Dr. Fisher is an economic theorist, but his argu- ments are enhanced by the fact, which he pointed out, that the brains of American business rapidly are swinging around to accept the principal con- tentions of economists on the questions dealt with. Most striking of Dr. Fisher's arguments, and most relevant in the light of President Hoover's moratorium plan, is his analysis of the need for war debt-reparations reduction. The British debt to the United States, he points out, was “settled” in 1923 at $4,6000,000,000, with a definite schedule of payments which Britain has maintained. Since then she has paid $1,017,360,000 in interest and $174,000,000 of principal. This reduces her dollar debt to $4,426,000,000, but since 1923 the dollar has appreciated in value to $1.44, so that Britain’s real debt now is about $1,773,440,000 more than when its total was fixed. It is hard enough for a nation to pay 3% per cent. interest on such a colossal debt, but when the| principal increases by more than 40 per cent., the injustice and the futility of insisting on full pay- ment of the dollar debt is manifest. Such is Fisher's contention on one single point. In this light it can be seen what a small conces- sion actually has been made by the Administra- tion, and how much more may have to be done, on the war debt question, as well as the tariff and gold stabilization, before a real groundwork is laid for wholesome business recovery on a world-wide scale. “The name of Roosevelt is magic,” New York's Democratic State Chairman, Mr. Farley, told the Elks at Seattle. “I have heard it in Washington, Oregon, Indiana and Minnesota.” But has he heard it in the Empire State Building?
