MERICAN newspaper men had been wondering why the latest revolutions in Latin America had so much the cruel and bl which for decades had been character- scenes of bloodshed, street fighting, brutal rioting, red-hot dynamiting and whole- sale executions at sunrise which in their minds were associated with a typical Latin American revolt. One of them, a well known humorist, wmmtln{ ‘upon smoothness of the recent coup d'etats in South Americd, spoke of “the olden times, when the Latin American revolutionists guns and cannon,” and pictured, very wittily, a 1930 Latin president be- ing handed a courteous invitation to resign and later on giving up the gov- ernment with a happy smile on his 1ips, before the first shot had been fired. Most American editorialists pointed out with surprise the quiet and gentle "i in which three Southern executives - been ousted from office during the four months, afte: ‘Well, here we have again the colorful t, the flery revolution they looking ‘While these and were for. lines are written & stormy civil strife is over the vast territory of largest South Are-ican various Brazilian cities, federal ind tebel forces have exchanged well aimed shots and the whole country is & bonfire of tical rivalry and pas- mmmlf“ ‘This time, however, we are in the presence of & rather different phenom- enon.

Young people grad- uate into life with a mass of unassimilated and more or less inaccurate facts, but with no “hfl m‘e,nul and no philosophy. In one of his finest passages Cardinal Newman describes an educated man as one who “has the repase of mind which lives in itself, while it lives in the world, and which has resources for its happiness at home when it cannot go abroad. He has a gift which serves him in publie and supports him in retire- ment, without which good fortune is but vulgar and with which failure and disappoint- ment have a charm.” And in another place he de- fines education as “the pre- paration for knowledge.” If all educators could agree upon that definition it would mean much progress. Then we should have college graduates whose minds are prepared, rather than graduates whose minds are merely stuffed. Too many graduates at ent have plenty of know! but no education. m the Mul that "r:cl:lhsahmlnu ween lo-Baxon an n pe were beh.\Alll’: the Brazillan nphn‘vr:].p‘ LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.

Another, and an entirely different, thing is that the United States Govern- ment, as any other sovereign govern- ment, should always be ready to pro- tect the rights and property of its citi- zens living in a disturbed nation. This is th2 only aspect on which this country could have something to say to the Bra- zilian belligerents. And whatever it has to say along these lines will no doubt be respectfully taken care of by the victo- rious faction, A WRITER'S FANCY. ‘The American-owned street car and elevator service between the upper and lower levels of the city of Bahia, for instance, was attacked Saturday and Sunday last by revolutionary forces. lmm:gmly a board was constituted by the erican consul, representatives of the company and local authorities, to estimate the damages caused and open reparation. Obviously, the assallants did not have in mind whether the street car service belonged to American or native citizens. ‘They were only interested in and obstructing means of communica- tion between both extremes of the city.

America cannot sell even her raw mate- rials to others without accepting in compensation some goods in return. In addition American industry has already developed its productive capacity to such an extent that a certain percent- age of exports is a necessity. Even if the output is reduced by only a small percentage, it has a depressing effect. Therefore, as an exporter of raw mate- rials, as well as of manufactured goods, it is imperative that America share in world trade and contribute to its fur- ther development.

What we need is an increhse in con- sumption and an increase in world trade, which would tend to do away with the existing lack ce. ‘This can only be brought about by in- v money in still undeveloped coun- tries, Plenty of such countries are left in all of Eastern Europe, in Latin Ameé; which will mean the opening up of new territory and which are going to pay in the long run for invested capital.

But so far this co-operation has been limited to creating a more friendly international understanding and has not been put into real action. I think that the time has come to build up an international economic authority which will take things in hand by concentrating activities, and which will be strong enough to win the following of the mvuun¥ public and give them back their feeling of safety. Standard of Living Must Not Drop. Such an international economic au- thority should be composed of indus- trialists and bankers of all the coun- tries concerned, with a view of develop- ing world trade by joint action.

Three Minor Planets Discovered. Walker's achievement was but a be- ginning. Discovery of three minor planets in the ’50's, discovery of the moons of Mars in 1866, discovery of the green ray in the solar corona in 1869—% these are a few of the finds credited to our National Observatory. And along | be! with the other distinguished names that have been mentipned one must add those of Matthew Fontaine Maury, Charles Henry Davis, John ) Simon Newcomb, Willlam Harkness and Asaph Hall--all brilliant stars in the galaxy of the Naval Observatory’s cen- tury of service. It has been a service not only to the Nl? but to the general public.

When electrieity came in as a means of com- munication the telegraph offices con- nected with the observatory, and a time signaling service was extended to seaports along the Atlantic and Guif Coasts. The first time signal by radio Wwas sent in 1904 from the Boston Navy Yard. 1t was heard by ships at sea as far off as 50 miles. Last year the time signal as broadcast by the lis naval radio station was picked up by :-:u :.y.rd expedition in A"wnfi'xi nn‘g . repea Australia. In addition to Annapolis three other naval radio stations broadcast the ?mmlvnkhmu was not an astro- ered moons of Mars the Iibrary, which, I believe, is the most smuplehk-mm‘ksl collection on this of the year. And another, an amateur observer, had written in a glow to tell of some strange phenomenon of the skies that had caught his eye the night fore. Somehow all the inquiries and inter- ruptions are taken care of satisfactor- ily without impairing the work that John cy Adams dreamed of his national observatory—"the increase of knowledge by new discovery.” And here are gathered eager watchers, who, even as he dreamed they would, “devote the labors of their lives to the indefatigable industry, the increasing ce_and the bright intelligence indispensable to success in these pursuits.” And 50, as the 100th anniversary rolls around, it seems ll:.“nl that hlotl!lln Quincy Adams's great-grandson e cabinet officer in authority over this National Observatory.
