Molla Bjurstedt. at makes
me so angry. Just fancy, one of my
friends said to me, Don't let it be
known that you have worked profess
sionally, or you can surely never enter
the West Side Tennis Club Why,
what difference can it possibly make
TO anybody, so long as | am n good
tennis player"
And Miss BJurstedt most decidedly
is a good tennis player if winning the
national indoor tennis championship is
criterion of her ability.
Inasmuch as few persons had ever
heard Of her before she accomplished
this feat, went to make the acquaint-
ance of this newcomer in this sport,
who hopes to win all the tennis honors
this country offers, and found her a
young, vibrant Norwegian girl, who re-
lieved herself first by expressing n
hearty contempt for the snobbery she
had encountered in her short stay in
New York
Il don't want to change these peo-
pie who are snobs. however, because
if l try they will not be nice to me
any more. And then won't like it
here. and l shall go back to Norway,
which, Of course, do not care TO do.
because there they do not know how
TO play Tennis" she commented. "But
will you please tell me what business
it is of anybody's whether ! work or
not? In Norway we are snobs, little.
Money!" she added briefly and wisely.
She is q very young woman, is Miss
Burstedt, but she has seen much of
the world. and is possessed of the
greatest fund of good natured cynicism
that ever made it possible for a person
to enjoy himself hugely and light
heartedly over everything.
I'VE have no society in Norway"
and she smiled wickedly. "and we have
no working girls. There all girls
work, not only those whose fathers
cannot afford to keep them. But here
one finds that the great social crime
is to be a working girl. Even your
working girls themselves are to blame
in this attitude They say that certain
sports and certain pastimes are for the
others, and they would not think Of
infringing. 1t makes me very angry.

berry"
But Miss Bjurstedt has a sense of
humor She is a nurse by profession,
but when | asked her about her work
she held her head proudly and said:
Il am Of the unemployed. But l do
not want to remain so long. You see,
that is what | am here for-to work.

Suddenly she threw her head up and
laughed. somebody said TO me, oh,

The Shipping Bill Hazard
fFrom The New York Sum-

annex of the Department Of Commerce
and an auxiliary force to the political
party i'm power.
The diplomatic dangers involved in
Government ownership of vessels en-
gagged in foreign commerce are not
confined to wartime, though. natur-
ally, they are more intense when
searches and detentiOns are incidents
of all seafaring activity. In the
hour of greatest tranquility any ordi-
nary dispute over customs or port
usage. quarantine, insurance, status
of officers or seamen may become
ala international issue of deadly
moment when associated with ma
tional ship II may be mere mat
ter of national pride or jealousy. No
matter; the United States flag has a
different significance when flown on
behalf of the Government from whot
it has as an emblem in the hands
of individuals. What would pass as
insignificant in the case Of pri-
vately owned ship might be a cause
of warlike excitement where ma
tional vessel. even though COM
mercialized, was concerned.
So the bill is obviously injurious
and obviously dangerous both on do
nestle and foreign grounds. It's ori-
ginal inspiration was a desire 70
overcome the shortage Of shipping
which prevailed for a few weeks af-
ter the declaration of war. This eN-
cuse for it has now disappeared.
There is no longer an important lack
OF ocean carving facilities. Further,
as Senator Burton has pointed out
the proposed plan is futile as an
emergency measure since eighteen
months to two years must elapse at
ter the passage of the bill before any
practical results could accrue.
The bill should not be passed by
Congress. Least of all should it be
passed in a hurry in the flag end OF a
session of which less than eight weeks
are now left for all purposes. If any
such rash experiment is to be made, it
/ should be only upon fullest informa-
ton and widest discussion. Above all,
/ The shipping interests and the export
ers. the diplomats, the naval authori-
/ ties and the authorities on interna-
/ tional and maritime law should be
publicly and exhaustively heard.
/ As an emergency no longer exists
! the momentous departure in national
policy should be settled with deliber-
/ alton. If the measure may not be
dropped it should be postponed to the
regular session next December. and
in the meantime committees of the
Senate and House should hold hear
ings upon it.

Confusing His Judgment With That of the
Country

arc to run to ports of Central Amer
lea, South America and ELSEWHERE" "
That elsewhere" is the chief Joker"
in the bill. If its trainers had had
the courage TO say Europe" instead
of elsewhere" then all the inter
national embarrassments of American
trade with Europe in vessels owned
by the United States government
would have had TO be admitted and
met. AS conditions are now in the
North Atlantic, nothing could be
more prejudicial to this country's
position as a neutral than to under
take to do in its own name what its
citizens are permitted to do in theirs
under the laws of neutrality and con-
traband. Many activities which the
government may tolerate in its citi-
zcns il cannot itself engage IN with
out violating the spirit of neutrality.
To says that the American people
have thought this question out and
arc willing to have the government
become a shipper of munitions of war
and other contraband. subject TO seiz-
ure by a belligerent. is gross 'eX-
travagance. The country wants the
administration to do nothing that
does not become a self-respecting
neutral government.
The Presidents ship purchase bill
has been freely criticized by the
newspapers of his own party. There
is a very general feeling Of relief
among Democrats that the usual con-
gestion of business at u snort session
makes the passage of so controversial
and crude a measure highly improb-
able. The Middle West is not eX-
cited about the Wilson-Fletcher bill.
! Neither is any other part of the coun-
try. We have much to learn before

sort of action the government should
take TO provide additional ocean
