LEAGUE HAS EVERYTHING AT HAND BUT COURAGE The moment the league of nations was brought face to face with the Greek-Italian problem, some well-meaning friends started in to save the league's face. Convinced that it was not strong enough to cope with the situation, prevent war and see justice done by bold, direct action, they sought to keep it out of the mess altogether. The league was not really called upon to intervene, they argued, because Greece and Italy had both disclaimed any warlike intention. When Greece insisted on bringing the quarrel before the league, they wanted to persuade Greece to withdraw her appeal. The whole plan was to avoid any technical compulsion for the league to act. Surely any such policy is mistaken friendliness to the league. If that body shirks its duty and dodges its responsibility in so characteristic a case as this, with its clean-cut issues and its possibilities of widespread danger, a weak league will be left weaker than ever. It will forfeit what is left of the world's respect. It will lose prestige and authority. Nothing would remain, then, but for its machinery to fall to pieces without much hope of another international association taking its place. The way for a man or a nation or an international body to solve a problem and avoid a danger is to face courageously and cope with it honestly. The present crisis, will probably make or break the league of nations, providing it good for much or good for nothing. What is needed at Geneva is courage. The machinery exists. If the league amounts to anything, or hopes to amount to anything, it should WHEN IS A VETERAN? Casey Stengel, Giant player who covered himself with glory by knocking two home runs in the world series games, is described by the sports writers as "aged," "a veteran," a man who had been "retired," some years ago because of "advancing years." The "ancient" is 32 years of age. John P. Irish was leading an active and aggressive life at 80. Ellhu Root, approaching the four-score mark, is being mentioned for the ambassadorship to Great Britain. Obviously in the disqualifying effect of age there is a relativity to the nature of one's work. Athletes become "veterans" at an age when executives professional men and statesmen are regarded as still unseasoned and immature. However, it is not quite so simple. With careful training there is no reason why an athlete should be old at 32. And without training, there is danger of the business man, the professional man, the teacher and the scholar becoming prematurely old. When ideas set, when new ways of doing things are rejected because they are different from the ways learned when a boy, when there is a barrier against sympathetic understanding of youth, when enthusiasm wanes and nothing matters much anyhow, you are getting old. You may necessary get old at any age from 18 to 80. Or you may stay young. If training of body is necessary for the athlete to stay young, training of the mind is essential for all of us to retain interest and a fresh view point.

These advocates of tariff protection point out that four successive reductions have been made in import rates, and that imports are showing an alarming increase. An advance of tariff rates would be welcomed by many industries, not only by way of encouragement to many concerns now disheartened by present difficulties, but also in creating a more hopeful situation generally, and, perhaps, prompting a further extension of credit by banks and other institutions to deserving industrial borrowers. Imports are running ahead of exports in Canada. For the first four months of the fiscal year 1922-23 Canada had a favorable balance of trade of over $7,000,000. For the corresponding months this year there was an adverse balance of $9,000,000. There is every indication that Canada is greatly impressed with the benefits derived by the United States from our protective tariff policy, and that the majority of the Canadians are prone to have their country emulate us in that regard. Not so long ago Mr. J. R. Shaw, president of the Canadian Manufacturers Association, complaining that Canada received "the short end of the bargain" in its trade with the United States, declared: "This is not a criticism of the United States. In one sense it is a compliment. They realized the world situation two years ago and raised their tariff (the Emergency Tariff law of 1921). With what results to their own people? Today their industrial plants are busy. There is no unemployment. Many of our people have how you are getting old. You may necessary get old at any age from 18 to 80. Or you may stay young.

Such is the news just brought back by officials of the Auto Club of Southern California who have spent two weeks investigating actual highway conditions throughout New Mexico, Arizona, and the eastern part of this state. More than 300 motor cars a day, headed westward, were passed by the club officers. Check was kept on these cars according to the state from which they were coming. For instance, during one day twenty-six autos bearing Kansas license plates were encountered. There were thirty-nine coming toward this part of America from Colorado. From Ohio there were eighteen on one day and twenty-seven on a second day. Virginia contributed one auto in five days to swelling the population of the southern part of California. Michigan, Iowa, Indiana, Texas, and Pennsylvania were notably heavy contributors to the congestion on the transcontinental highway. According to the report just issued by the auto club, the western terminus of the long, long trails have never been in better condition for travel than at the present time. Actual hordes of motorists are escaping to the Pacific coast from the freezing eastern states for the winter. It is reported. All sorts of vehicles are being used in this westward migration. They are coming in flivers, on bicycles, on motor-cycles, and in traveling palaces, and all are avidly questioning each one they pass as to industrial conditions in the southern counties of California!

It is safe to predict that within the next six months, or a year at the outside, England herself will have resorted to the protective policy which she abandoned in 1846. The competition of cheap European labor is already telling on the Britishers. For two years Great Britain has maintained her Safeguarding of Industries Act, which places a duty of 33-1-3 per cent on between six and seven thousand articles of import. All of this goes to show that while the United States has many enemies of the protective policy, chiefly among those importers who would like to get their goods in free and add the saving to their profits, the majority of Americans may well be strengthened in their adherence to the protective policy by the indorsement of that policy by practically every industrial nation of consequence now existing. Auto thieves are finding it more and more difficult to make a "living" in the southern counties of California! The sun of the auto thief is setting, and that his activities are being curbed is the encouraging report emanating from the theft bureau of the club. Club detectives engaged in rounding up thieves in the territory of the state lying between the Mexican border and Monterey county, declare that motorists are more careful in locking their cars and in keeping a weather eye out for suspicious looking characters hanging about. As the case now stands, however, there have been approximately $5,000,000 worth of automobiles stolen in Southern California to date this year. This figure is based on accurate information compiled by the auto club theft bureau from data secured in the thirteen counties of the southern part of the state. A large share of this loot has been recovered from the thieves, but a portion of it is a total loss to auto owners. Investigation of strangers renting private garages for the storage of motor cars under suspicious circumstances is urged upon all parties renting such garages. It is said that auto theft gangs are renting private garages in some of the smaller towns, where they store cars which have been stolen in the cities, until the police chase has blown over. Then they take the cars out of such "storage" and sell them at reduced prices. That this part of America will not be a mecca for auto thieves who are driven westward from the east by cold weather, is the determination of auto club officials who have planned a strenuous drive against the activities of miscreants during November, December, and January. WHERE TO FIND DUCKS With the opening of quail season coming and "sports" wildly looking for ducks all over the country, motorists are advised that the Auto Club of Southern California has some interesting outing news for them. It is a question of "duck, duck, who's got the duck?" this year, and herewith an attempt is made to enlighten auto owners hereabouts as to where they may go for a little profitable shooting, whether it be duck or quail. Reports brought in by auto club investigators say that ducks have not yet migrated from the north and just last week thousands of them were seen at Klamath and Clear Lakes on the California border, also at Agency Marsh, where the birds have been nesting. It is expected that these points will freeze over about November 1st, driving the birds south into the southern counties of California. Although duck hunting for the unattached hunter does not look very bright at the present time, things will begin to pick up as soon as the migration starts in. Good shooting has been had in the Imperial Valley near Calipatria, but it has slowed up again, and sporting interest has transferred itself to the many lakes in San Diego County where "drive days" are held on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Quail hunting gets harder and harder every season, it is pointed out. It is necessary for motorists to go farther afield this year than ever before, says the auto club. Riverside County has several likely places in the vicinity of Hemet, Aguaiga and Diamond Valley. This is also true of San Luis Obispo County around Atascadero, Semmler, Cayucos, and San Miguel. Also in the hills about San Diego. before they are taken on board ship at the point of departure. “There seems little excuse for the transporting to this country of individuals clearly insane when they arrive, or suffering from some loathsome disease which, according to the immigration laws, makes their admission impossible. Every such case adds to the burden of the work at Ells Island and is a heavy expense to the stamship companies. I am inclined to think that the imposition of a heavy penalty, say $1,000 or $2,000 upon any steamship company which undertakes to land an immigrant whose condition is clearly not up to the health requirements of our immigration laws would have a most salutary effect." Mr. Wadsworth did find the work could be expedited with greater comfort to all concerned if the facilities were enlarged and he recommends the construction of additional buildings. WHAT THE NAVY IS DOING Large steel castings were developed by the Bureau of Ordnance in search for a more economical method of meeting heavygun requirements. From this branch of the Navy were developed also heavy hydraulic forgings machinery, machine shop tools of maximum size, powerful traveling cranes, plate rolling fills, and means of casting and handling large masses of steel ingots. From the demands of the Navy for transportation for their heavy gun torgings has resulted the improvement of railroad rolling stock and road beds. The capacity of freight cars has been increased from 80,000 to 120,000 pounds. In the line of Marine Engineering the Navy has added in experiments and research work. It has progress- on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Quall hunting gets harder and harder every season, it is pointed out. It is necessary for motorists to go farther afield this year than ever before, says the auto club. Riverside County has several likely places in the vicinity of Hemet, Aguauga and Diamond Valley. This is also true of San Luis Obispo County around Atascadero, Semmler, Cayucos, and San Miguel. Also in the hills about San Diego. ELLIS ISLAND The Ellis Island immigrant station has been the object of a great amount of very hostile criticism recently—largely from foreign sources. Eliot Wadsworth, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, has just completed an investigation of medical and hospital work at Ellis Island. The Treasury department conducted the investigation because all medical examination of immigrants is conducted by the Public Health service which is under the supervision of the Treasury department. In his report, Assistant Secretary Wadsworth says: "In the four fiscal years since the war, 1,714,809 aliens—men, women and children—have been medically examined, of whom 68,263 were found to have physical defects. Over a thousand in each year were deported for medical reasons. During this period, 12,273 have required hospital treatment and been cared for during periods varying from one day to two years, largely at the expense of the steamship companies or other agencies. The hospital carries from 500 to 600 patients on the average. Of the 2,000 aliens who are now permitted to land each day at Ellis Island, from 600 to 800 are given an intensive medical examination. Special rooms are provided for men and women. Five women doctors are employed for this purpose. With the space available, 800 seems to be the maximum number who can be examined in this way. The balance of the aliens, from 1,200 to 1,400 are inspected as they pass out of the waiting room, each one by two doctors. "The medical examination of immigrant under the best circumstances. In the case of immigrants who have perhaps staked their all on getting into America, the ordeal can only be severe. My impression of the attitude and efficiency of the doctors in charge was favorable. There are certain minor changes in the system, particularly as to what might be called cranes, plate rolling fills, and means of casting and handling large masses of steel ingots. From the demands of the Navy for transportation for their heavy gun torgings has resulted the improvement of railroad rolling stock and road beds. The capacity of freight cars has been increased from 80,000 to 120,000 pounds. In the line of Marine Engineering the Navy has aided in experiments and research work. It has progressed from the two single cylinder engines geared to the propeller shaft by wooden gear teeth which gave the U.S. S. Wampanaog in 1868 a speed of nearly seventeen knots with 4,000 horse power down through compound and triple expansion engines developing 24,500 horse power thence through the scout cruisers of the Omaha class and finally to the electric drive as used in the latest battleships. In experimenting with internal combustion engines the Navy built the fuel ship Maumee which develops 5,000 horse power. To supply steam to these engines plants it has been necessary to develop at the same time hollers of the greatest capacity and to utilize the power generated it has been necessary to re-design from time to time the marine propellers, this has been done by experiments in the model tank at Washington, D.C., conducted by the Bureau of Engineering the result of which are at the disposal of private builders. The Navy's effort to secure permanent shore stations equipment have resulted in great gain along the line of harbor development. The radio development under the communication service of the Navy has progressed wonderfully and is still moving. Aeronautics have been fostered. Our knowledge of tropical diseases has been augmented by the studies of our military surgeons. Last but by no means least are the men. It is an axiom of the Navy that "Men fight not ships." These men when first enlisted are the "run of the mill" taken from all walks of life as cosmopolitan a crowd as can be imagined but every one of them an American. After four years of the Navy they return to civil life alert, confident of their ability to handle themselves in any contingency and above all 190% Americans. If the Navy did nothing else for the benefit of the country's industries the loosing of this stream of honorably discharged men to civilian life is alone worth every cent it cost the Nation. the allens, from 1,200 to 1,400 are inspected as they pass out of the waiting room, each one by two doctors. "The medical examination of immigrant pleasant under the best circumstances. In the case of immigrants who have perhaps staked their all on getting into America, the ordeal can only be severe. My impression of the attitude and efficiency of the doctors in charge was favorable. There are certain minor changes in the system, particularly as to what might be called traffic regulations for dealing with this great mass of humanity, which would, it seems, facilitate the work and make it less trying to those who are undergoing examination. "The medical examination of immigrants is of vital importance to the country. I would not recommend the easing of this examination in any way and am convinced that the so-called intensive examination should be made to apply to every incoming alien. "The hospital operation is a very considerable one: Two large buildings constructed for the purpose are used—one for surgical and medical cases and the other for contagious wards. I was favorably impressed with these buildings, with the organization, the equipment and the cleanliness of the wards, kitchens and lavatory facilities. The quarters for the personnel might well be improved. The construction of an additional building would be required for this purpose." "It would appear that a certain amount of hospitalization will always be needed to take care of immigrant sick during their passage to this country, doubtful cases which are clearly deportable and must be taken care of in a hospital until deported. It would seem entirely reasonable to expect that the demand for hospital service could be reduced by more careful examination of immigrant health."
