Elsewhere, save in the Rif- fian region of Morocco, there is peace. Lately a grave danger in the Balkans was averted by the Interposition of the League of Nations. In these seven vears that have passed since the armistice was signed and the warring forces ceased their awful stru in Europe, advance has unquestionably been made toward a firmer ground of international un- derstanding. A settlement of the war obligations of Ge has been ef- fected upon terms finally acceptable to both sides. The new states created by the treaty of Versailles have gained substantial foundations. Economic conditions have been advanced toward stability. Some progress has been made toward the liquidation of the debts of the powers that were com- pelled to borrow the means for wag- ing the war. Large reductions in the rmaments of the nations have been effected, releasing man power for in- and relieving the people from oppressive taxation. Today, as the occasion fs marked Ly ceremonies or by the simple but significant silence of millions at an appointed minute, it is possible to feel the remarkable recovery that has been made from the shock of conflict, and to realize the benefits which, at whatever cost, have been gained by humanity from the war. Millions of men were and more were maimed; countless losses were suf- fered; the world was shocked: incal- culably; were disrupted, broken into portions that in cases have been constituted into new states; everything has been changed save the race itself, and that remains with its old qualities and faults and virtues, but with the example of a needless horro a guide to better conduct hereafte Armistice day should be observed in a spirit of grat for the sacrifices of who now sleep in heroes’ graves. They went forth upon com- mand to serve, er, to die. Some went eagerly, some reluctantly, some only upon the compulsion of law. But all who went, under whatever flag or with whatever motive or feelings, con- tributed to the result that is today being celebrated.

Farreaching changes in the Gov- ernment for the adminis- tration of shipping are proposed in a report made public today by a com ittee of the National Merchant Ma- rine Conference, organized by the United States Chamber of Commerce, The report is to be submitted to the | conference when it meets here No- vember 16 and 17. The in the main suggest reduction in the personnel of the | hipping Board to three, with semi-| regulatory duties; the tran of the operation of the Govern- ment merchant ships to the Fleet Cor- poration, with a board of directors | consisting of three members of the | | President’s cabinet, and the centraliza- tion so far as practicable of all other | Government activities relating to ship- | ping in the Department of Commerce. The committee making this report | is headed by Judge Edwin B. Parker, | umpire of the German-American Mixed Claims Comn and membership is taken from every sec- tion of the country, including the Pacific Coast, the Gulf Coast, the At- lantic Coast, the Great Lakes region | and the interior. Industrial, mercan- tile, labor, agriculture and other in- terests are represented. President Coolidge doubtless will give this report consideration in draft- ing his recommendations to Congress regarding the merchant marine. In the main, they conform largely to the plan which President Coolidge has sought to work out himself, in the absence of legislation, for the fm- provement of the merchant marine, the plan over which the President and the Shipping Board have clashed, and because of which the board recently defied the President. The conference committee put its finger on the weak spot in the present arrangement for administration of the Government merchant fleet when it said “The attempt to combine in the Shipping Board semi-judicial, regula- tory duties, certain responsibilities for the promotion of shipping and the executive function of administering and disposing of the Government- owned fleet and other shipping prop- erty was unsound in theory and un- ates, on ng machinery propo: a judicial fer ssion, | the | | of this | erackling its | EVENI s to purpotie, for the Constitution is to be reganded and utilized only as a national rmonument and heroic relic.

For the highest place of all on the Government’s roll of financial | fallures, as reported by the Treasury Department, is occupied by the oil company. And just below it perches the company engaged in mining gold.

Nearly two-thirds of the companies, or 81, lost money, the total deficit being $55,898,000. e All told, 18,509 corporations were engaged in 1923 in mining or quarry- ing.
