The District of Columbia and New York State, each having but one cause for absolute divorce, reported 35.3 and 21.4, respectively, while the rates in other States ranged from 154 marriages to each divorce in West Virginia to 1.8 marriages to each divorce in Nevada. The changes in the various States as regards the number of divorces compared with the year 1931, ranged from a decrease of 349 per cent in the District of Columbia to an increase of 12.5 per cent in Arkansas. Increased rates for divorces were re- ported in two other States, Rhode Island and per month. By mall, postage pald, at the following rates: One year, in_advance, $12.00; six months, in advance, $6.00; one month, in advance, $1.26.

It was in the Negro section of the thriving oil city. A Negro, reporting the poll, said: “No Suh! Dijdn’t nobody vote against it.” Francisco precincts reported overwehlming majori- ties for repeal of Prohibition, but, so far as we know, the Tulsa boys are the first to record a unanimous vote for beer. Even in boom times like 1926, technological con- ditions resulted in many hundreds of thousands of P CHANCE TO AID FISHING INDUSTRY. With pink salmon runs in Southeast Alaska re- ported later this season than usual, packs below those of 1932 and 1931, Commissioner Frank T. Bell, head of the United States Bureau of Fish- eries, has an opportunity to give a helping hand to the seine fishermen and salmon packers when both need it badly. On the basis of reports from observers on the grounds, it can be done apparently without the danger of injuring the supply of spawn- ing fish, There seems to be no disagreement among those familiar with conditions in the conviction that there are abundant fish in the waters off the west coast, and that within a short time the inner waters will be alive with the silvery hordes. That was true two years ago and equally true last season. Each year the runs seem to be occurring a little later, making it more and more difficult for fisher- men to make a living and for the packers to get their packs. For the past three years, the pink salmon pack- ers have taken a terrible beating on the market. They have poured money into their businesses—were compelled to do so in order to keep going. This year the prospects are good for them to recoup some of these losses. Whether they do or not depends upon their ability to put up a normal production. Due to the lateness of the runs, this will not be possible within the seasonal limits originally fixed by regulation. It will require sub- stantial extensions in each of the districts to bring it about. Commissioner Bell has recognized the need for extensions, as is evidenced by the four-day addition to Cook Inlet and Prince William Sound areas, and the three-day extension to outer Icy Strait and Cross Sound. The last named, however, is for three days in theory only, since the final day, August 6, occurs on Sunday, making it actually two days. Conditions apparently justify extending the season in that district a few days longer than August 6, and the Commissioner, we believe, would be justified in granting it. The other districts, eastern Icy Strait, the Western, Eastern, and the three districts in the southern end of the Division, which are experiencing similar late runs of fish, are confronted with like conditions. Extensions might well be granted there if there is no material improvement in the runs in the near future. MARRIAGES AND DIVORCES DECREASE. The Bureau of Census announces that, according to the returns received, there were 981,759 marriages performed in the United States during the year 1932 as compared with 1,060,791 in 1931. These figures represent a decrease of 79,032 or 7.5 per cent. There was a decrease of 59 per cent. from 1930 to 1931. During the year 1932, there were 160,329 divorces granted in the United States, as compared with 183,664 in 1931, representing a decrease of 23,335 or 127 per cent, as against a decrease of 4.1 per cent from 1930 to 1931. There were 3,900 marriages an- nulled in 1932, as compared with 4,339 in 1931 The egtimated population of continental United States on July 1, 1932, was 124,822,000, and on July 1, 1931, 124,070,000. On the basis of these estimates, the number of marriages per 1,000 of the population was 79 per cent in 1932, as against 85 in 1931; and the number of divorces per 1,000 of the population was 1.28 in 1932, as against 148 in 1931 While the net decreas€ in the number of mar- riages performed in the country as a whole was 7.5 per cent, the relative change in the different States ranged from a decrease of 43.5 per cent in Jowa to an increase of 6.6 per cent in Nebraska. (Only 10 States reported increased rates—Missouri, 3.5 per cent; South Dakota, 2.7 per cent; Nebraska, 6.6 per cent; West Virginia, 1.7 per cent; Mississipi, 5.1 per cent; Arkansas, 52 per cent; Oklahoma, less than one-tenth of 1 per cent; New Mexico, 6 per cent; Arizona, nine-tenths of 1 per cent; and Utah, five-tenths of 1 per cent. All ten States adjoin: those in which recent changes made in the marriage laws require 3 to 5 days to elapse between the application for a marriage license and the issuance of the same.

West Vir- ginia is neighbor to Ohio with a change effective July 23, 1931. Oklahoma and New Mexico both ad- join Colorado and Texas where restrictions began September 1, 1931 and June 13, 1929, respectively. Utah also adjoins Colorado, while Arizona borders California where the change in laws was made July 29, 1927.) Because of numerous requests for this informa- tion, the relative number of marriages to each di- vorce has been computed.: In 1932, for the United States as a whole, 6.1 marriages for each divorce “|the voters appear to have men losing their jobs. The Prohibition Agents can't claim that alibi, however, as the voters are attend- ing to that matter as fast as it is submitted to them. An International Pact. (New York Times.) WASHINGTON, July 10. President Roosevelt proclaimed today the Convention for Limiting the Manufacture and Regulat- ing the Distribution of Narcotic Drugs. Thus a significant international agreement, attained through the cooperation of the United States with the League of Nations, has been put into effect. It is a triumph no less for America than for the League. Her representatives in the International Opium Conference had a determined part in formu- lating the policy and she was the first to ratify the convention. It has a meaning beyond the immed- iate practical purpose of this world-embracing act in that it furnishes precedent for united world | attack upon other evils which no country or group of countries can combat successfully alone. This dealing with a human menace is another illustration of Professor Whitehead's victory of a humanitarian ideal. Where there is progress in the development of a favorable order, “we find conduct | protected from relapse into brutalization by the in-| creasing agency of ideas consciously entertained.”| The idea ultimately prevails. “The word of civilized | order is the victory of persuasion over force.” uf is so that human sacrifice and human slavery have | been all but banished from the earth. In the case| of opium, the thing is on paper, but the machinery | for the enforcement of international control has| been provided. There is promise of progress toward | the goal of the idea—which we call the ideal. Pro- | fessor Whitehead’s abstract statement when applied to any individual case means that public opinion | has to prepare the way. 1 The ideal in the background is promoting the gradual growth pof the requisite com- munal customs adequate to sustain the load of its exemplification. One encouraging fact is what while it took from | four to eight years to secure the ratification of cer- tain other conventions or protocols, such as the suppression of traffic in women, thirty-four nations ratified this convention within a year and nine months. It establishes an international organ of control to limit the manufacture to the amounts of opium required for medicinal and scientific use. The effectiveness of this control will depend largely upon the supervisory body. But this forward step having been taken, it is not likely that there will be a turning back. Half-Way.

The re- fusal to stabilize the dollar became identified in the minds of specula- tors with a refusal to manage and control the dollar, whereas in a well conceived policy the decision not to stabilize should have carried with it an increased determination to manage and control. ERra While the fundamental cause of the extremely unhealthy specula- tion has been the indecision and indetermination of the Administra- tion’s monetary policy, an impor-, tant contributing cause was the excessive efficiency with which Am- erican markets are organized to en- courage the deep speculative in- stinct of the American people. Our love of speculation has its roots deep in our history. A nation which has expanded as we have expanded upon the righest. natural resources in the world is naturally and in- evitably bullish. There is no reason to be astonished that speculation is easier to incite in America than anywhere else in the world. On the whole and in the long run specula- tion for a rise has always seemed to justify itself. But this instinct to speculate has cost much in the past. In the pres- ent, when the economic machinery has become so intricate, specula- tion is by way of becoming a dan- gerous vice. That is the reason why it has become necessary to seek out If all that happened on the ex- | changes were that the lambs were shorn, one might say that gamblers !must take their losses. But this form of gambling which we indulge \in is far more dangerous than horse racing, or roulette, or poker, or the national lotteries which are common in other countries. Our 'gambling is inextricably entangled | with business and agriculture and | whenever it becomes serious it en- dangers the whole system by which men earn their living. It is so I thoroughly infectious that when the fever is on banking and business and political judgment are betray- ed, as they were on a grand scale in 1928-1929, on a smaller scale in the past thirty days. For it might as well be admitted that the same fear of “hurting business” which prevented the Coolidge and Hoover Administrations from acting in time has in some considerable ! measure prevented the Roosevelt ‘Admimsm\tion from taking con- trol. e The lesson of this crackup is |clear, The Administration must 'make up its mind to manage the dollar. All its other projects are {important, but unless there is firm, intelligent management of money, they will be insecure and | will in the end be defeated.

Copyrignt, 1933, New York Tribune Inc. By MRS. ALEXANDER GEORGE DINNER FOR A HOT DAY The Menu Jellied Chicken Loaf Potato Chips | Sliced Tomatoes Bread Butter Sour Cream Spice Cake seem to be an onsweep of the contagion of revolt against a discredited experiment. The swing of Southern sentiment most signifi- cantly attests the national character of the dis- approval of Prohibition as a doctrine and as a method. And that wide emphasis should in itself count heavily against any more artificially ob- structive tactics by “dry” leaders to compass delay if not defeat of repeal. Such tactics merely spell a betrayal of their own avowed hopes of temper- ance, in leading to virtual “nullification” as they would call it, and the abandonment of the field to the bootlegger. As things are moving politically there is in evidence just the counterpart of what occurred in 1919 when the “bandwagon” stage was reached in the rapid capture of affrighted State Legislatures to clinch the experiment. Now the opposite hap- pens in terms of plebiscites, with popular sentiment at last given expression.
