An andernourished child, with enough clothes and a clean face perhapsg but with the strain of some trouble show- ing plainly upon its physique and wita Sia slightly emaciated body, brings forth a pang of regret that such should be, that children should be forced through lack of proper at- tontion to be unhealthy. Concrete ev- idence of unhappiness, which in chil- {dren means lack of care, brings to the elders who usually have a sense of responsibility towards the immature generation a sense of loss, such is one of the happy vagaries of our in herited temperaments. Unfortunate- 3y, the mass is unresponsive to suffer- #ng unless it is brought directly to sttention. Obliviousness to that which is not brought into immediate contact 4s another feature of the natlonal tomperament. But the record of achievement of ‘pne enterprising young miss of the city who attended the Fresh Air camp for sixteen days and gained sixteen pounds, as published in the #Herald Saturday evening, brought forth an amused smile, not because she did something funny but because ghe satisfies an ambition of the old- er generation—to see the health and lappiness of childhood improve—al- though it is quite possible that most of us did not stop to analyze the rea- son for our smile. e @he average gain in weight at the camp for the two weeks that the lo- cal children spent there waf 5 1-4 pounds per child, and these pounds were put upon bodies that weighed an average of about 65 pounds. All of them, practically,showed gains,none a loss and but a few remained at the weight they had taken to the camp. For the same reason that we enjoy seeing a happy youngster, for the same reason that we smiled at the industry of the 16 pound gainer, we may feel satisfied in the record of the whole crowd at the camp. They {went, they played, they gained—and ‘dhey came back to New Britain much ibetter outfitted with thls world's good, of which weight, providing it is ‘mot excessive, is a visible manifesta - tion. The record at the Burlington camp Mmerely goes to prove what may be ldone in welfare work by surrounding {those whom We wish to help Wwith th2 .proper articles of food and a clean .atmosphere. Most of the efforts of ithose who would better the race these @ays are directed towards child wel- fare work. According to their state- ments, which are more or less obvious the greatest good may be done this way. Consequently New Britain, which is supporting the Fresh Air camp, may feel justly proud of the ygains at the institution. Translated Jinto dollars and cents we have bought, *at about 50 cents per pound, 184 ypounds of good health, and put the weight just where it will do the most good. woman THE DISARMAMENT DELEGATES. The conference on disarmament, called by President Harding and ac- cepted by the nations invited, should assemble in the United States a gathering of delegates the calibre of which has seldom been seen and which was only surpassed to a small degree by the attendants at the con- ference when the Treaty of Versailles the United States is concerned, the most scintil- lating aggregation of diplomats that has ever been within our will gather? The smallér countries will be represented by observers who will take no active part in the pro- ceedings. The character of their work, however, insures that the most accomplished statesmen will be sent. It is said that no person who was directly connected with the Versailles conference will take part. This is a natural political move. It is rather deplorable that at least one individual who has the other conference thor- oughly in mind should be in- was formed. As far as confin=s not | choices.

There will be three or five represen- tatives from each country and we are assured that a non-partisan board will be chosen from this country.

Diplomacy will do its best to make the way clear. to considering THE TARIFF. When is protection protection, and how much protection on what ar- ticles is needed, is a question which Congress is having a hard time to decide just now, and which has created a legislative turmoil that is scarcely to be ignored by the Ameri- can public. The farmer of the Middle West has asked for protection on hides and meats. Result, when he gets it, a higher price for leather, which taxes him when he pays for shoes. He does not get enough for hides to pay the difference. The oil manufac- turers ask that oil be taxed, and the manufacturer of other products who has also assked for protection on his stuff, claims that he should get oil cheaper, without the protection as this would lower his production cost. In the South they want a high tariff on cotton and sugar. The goods manufacturer wishes no pro- tection as he would get his raw product cheaper, but does not want his manufactured article subject to the inroads that might be offered by foreign competition on a “free entry” market. Thus it goes, until the question who to protect and how much has be- come so great that it is overwhelming. Providing that we allow a high tariff upon every article, so high a tariff that foreign goods may not possibly enter our field, there is no way for European nations to pay off their bills to us. They cannot trade, ex- cept among themselves, one cannot trade one cannot pay. Gemany has thown all of her re- sources into manufacturing. Labor- ers are working for next to nothing. Artisans are doing likewise. She has been stripped of her army and her navy, she has no expensive main- tenance bill for these defensive and aggressive arms of the government. She finds it comparatively cheaper to live, and much cheaper to manufac- ture. Should she garner and copner the labor market of the world? Providing that she could manufac- ture everything that we require and dump it in here cheaper than our manufacturers could possibly make it, she would give us a cheap market, but she would also drive out of busi- ness our manufacturers, who employ our labor. Then we should have no work and she would have it all. That is not equitable, hence there is a reason for a tariff. But—should we put such a tariff on articles that we may extract from the public a much higher price than things are worth, and market our surplus abroad, un- Should we penalize our labor, also our con- sumer, by a great tariff? not. cotton and when derselling our home price?

The old-time bard, he did all this, Or strung a sonnet to a kiss, A rondeau to a pear. He swept the chords both night and day And rounded many a roundelay That stood beyond compare— For all of which they paid him, dead, A wreath of roses on his head.

COMMUNICATED —_— Taxes, Business and Wages. July 15, '21. Then we Mr. Editor: 1 would like a few lines in your paper to discuss this depression that we are now going through, and I also think it would be a good thing to have more people write to your paper their ideas and it would help in finding a reason why it should last so long. First, all wages and salaries are too high; now wages have been cut and some salaries in the factories, the average workman getting about $20 a week. Now this is almost back to pre-war wages. Rents, one of the main reasons for the high cost of living. ardsat war figures. Why? Because every house owner has had his taxes raised so that instead of lowering rents he should raise them. Now if the city was only run like our factories are all working for it were cut at the same rate the work- ing man has been, then our tax rate could e lowered and rents would fol- low. A teacher now gets about $40 a week while a married man in the factory with a family gets $20. Everyone must take his or ' her share by a cit so that things will be equalized. Now in Washington our represen- tatives arc looking after the special interest and the people get no relief from high taxes. I imagine Senator Penrose cf Pennsylvania doing any- thing to bring down the price of coal when he is the largest stock- holder in the mines. He is looking' after his own interest, not the peoples, and then the people will vote for him again. Waiting to hear from more on this very important subject, Iam TAXPAYER. e T More Trolley Service.

BY H. B. nUNT Washington, July 18.—The most distinguished gathering of world statesmen ever assembled on Ameri- can -soil will gather fn Washington probably early in November, for the conferenco to be called by President Harding to consider limitation of ar- maments. . In addition to representatives of the six powers directly included in the conference, speclal diplomatic ob- servers will be there from as many mora countries, | Already many suggestions are be- ing heard in official quarters as to delegates. For United States, it is understood no person who had any connection with the peace negotiations at Ver- sailles will have any major part in tha Washington conterence. The representatives from each country are expected to number either .hrea or five—probably the former. | Bach mission will be accompanied by staffs of experts. The United States delegation, it i stated in hkigh quarters, will be bi partisan or, rather, non-partisa.a. However, two of three representa- tives, if that number is decided on, will be Republicans, or at least three ot five, if the larger number are chosen. Hughes and Root Certaix, Secretary of State Hughes and Elihu Root, former secretary of state, are declared certain to be named on tha American delegation. George Wickersham is mentioned as a pos- sible third Republican, but it i3 more probable if three Republicans are named the third one will be Chair- man Lodge of the Senate Foreign Af- fairs committee. It Lodge is given a place, it is believed Senator Hitch- cock, ranking Democratic member of the committee, also will be named, and perhaps a second Democrat in Charles R. Crane, former ambassador to China. An examination ot the field of like- ly representatives from the foreign nations discloses as possible members of the various missions. For Great Britain: Premier Lloyd George, who has indicated his inten- tion of attending: Viscount Bryce, Earl Grey, Viscount Milner and Rt Hon. Arthur Balfour. For France: Premier Briand, who has said he hoped to attend; Philip Berthelot, secretary general for for- eign affairs; Louis Locheur, Stephen Pichon and Gabrille Hanotoux, with the possibility that Clemenceau or Viviani might be selected. For Japan: Premier Hara, Minis- ter of Foreisn Affairs Uchida, Baron Makino, member of the diplomatic council; Viscount Chinda and Baron Shidehara, ambassador, at Washix ton. ! For Ttaly: minister Marquis Della Torreta, of foreign affairs; Count Sforza, Baron Sonnino. Tomaso Tit- toni and probably former Premier iNitti or Carlo Aliotti. The latter was selected recently for ambassador te the United States, but was switched to Japan. He was for years stationed at the Peking embassy and is an ex- pert on Far Eastern matters. China: Premier Chin, Minister of Foreign Affairs Yen and Alfred Sze, minister to the United States. Belgium and Holland. Representatives will be in Washing- ton, althought perhaps not accorded membership in the conference, from at least Belgium and Holland. Bel- gium, through her great interests in China, and Holland through her island colonies in the far east are recognized as having a vital interest and will be permitted to make representations on the Far Eastern problem. Hol- }land probably will speak through H. A. Van Karnebeek, minister of for- eign affairs, and Belgium through Carton De Wrart, president of the council of ministers, and H. Jastar, minister of foreign affairs. Administration authorities say the ‘“‘one best bet” is that the sessions will convene on Armistice Day. The place of meeting probably will be the Hall of the- Americas, in the Pan- American building. Generals Pershing and Bliss are said to be the probable American mil- itary experts for the conference, and Admiral Benson, who was naval ad- visor at the Versailles conference, on naval matters. MAGMILLAN STARTS ON ARCTIC JOURNEY Is Given Great Send-ofi by People at Booth Bay Booth Bay, Me., June 18.—The MacMillan Arctic expedition took final departure from American shores today. The explorer's auxiliary schooner Bowdoin which came here Saturday night after formal Godspeed from Governor Baxter at Wiscasset, went away at dawn, cheered by towns- people. The Bowdoin will make a short stop at Sydney, N. S, on her way north. : An attempt to map Baffin Land, the vast Arctic island southwest of Green- land, whose 1,500 miles of unexplored western coastline is as much a mys- tery today as when the English navi- gator, William Baffin, announced its discovery in 1616, is the main ob- jective of the Donald B. MacMillan expedition. The 115-ton schooner RBowdoin. which carries the party north was built at East Boothbay, Me.

Ac- cording to MacMillan's plans, he in- tends to reach Baffin Land about August 15 and establish a camp south of the entrance to the dangerous Fury and Hecla strait, where the ships of Captains Parry and Lyon, seekers of the Northwest passage, were blocked a century ago.. The location is 160 miles north of the Arctic. Cirgle and 700 miles south of Etah, Greenland. It is not far from the point where MacMillan’s Crocker Land expedition passed the four winters of 1913-14-15 and 16. QOn that occasion the expedi- tion was once reported lost and two relief expeditions were sent out for it but MacMillan firally returned. He anngunced that Crocker Land was not “land,” as Delieved possible by Peary, but an ice mirage. During the winter of 1921-22, tempts will be made to explore ths coast of Baffin Land and the fol- lowing summer an effort will be made to penetrate the interiof where, ac- cording to Eskimo tales, there exists one of the richest and most alluring fields of research in the frozen north. The island is said to have great min- eral deposits and to possess high mountains and beautiful lakes which have never been seen by white men. The region is believed to be an immense breeding ground for. water fowl, whose nesting habits will be the subject of study, while the pro- gram of the scientists of the expedi- tion also calls for field work in zoology, botany, geology, meteorology and terrestrial magnetism. Special ob- servations will be taken of the mag- netic pole which was located first by James Ross in 1830 on the fur- ther side of the Boothia peninsula, not far from MacMillan’s proposed winter camp. An attempt will also be made to circumnavigate Baffin Land. In the event of a serious mishap to the Bow- doin, - the party plans to retreat by dog sledge to Fort Churchill, a trading post at the foot of Hudson Bay, and thence return to civilization by way of northwestern Canada. MacMillan was born in Provinceton, Mass., Nov. 10, 1874, the son of a Cape Cod sea captain. He was grad- uated from Bowdoin college in 1898 and took up postgraduate work at Harvard in 1910-12. Before becom- ing an explorer he was a teacher and public school principal. In addition to accompany Peary on his last fa- mous trip north, he was a member of the Cabot Labrador expedition in 1910 and as previously referred to, the leader of the Crocker Land ex- pedition three years later. In 1911 and 1912 he made ethnological studies of the Eskimos of Labrador. He is unmarried. at- ICEMAN IS INJURED. Joseph Venturo, aged 21. of Kcn- sington, employed by P.
