TRAVELETTE
BY NIKSAH
Newfoundland.

Newfoundland Is called the Senior
colony because it was the first thing
John Cabot stumbled across when he
inaugurated the successful idea Of
splotching the globe with British red
It also shelters the islands of St.
Pierre and Miquelon, the last remnants
of French sovereignty in North Amer
lea. Thus, in an odd historical sense,
last.
1t seems like caprice of nature that
the soil of Newfoundland should have
been made SO barren and the surround
ing sea so rich. Its wealth is in the
nearby water rather than upon the
land There are so many lakes in it's
area that fully one-third of the land
itself is covered by water.
Fish is the legal tender OF these
hardy north sea islanders. Everything
depends upon old King Cod and his
fellows of the finny tribes If one is to
keep a range of the conversation here
he must know all about the market
price Of cod livers and how much salt
it would take to cure a quintal of
mackerel. On a certain day the news
that Skipper Ambrose had taken 5000
Goldfish in one haul of his trap caused
more discussion than the cable report
that Woodrow Wilson had been elected
the twenty eighth President of the
United States.
In case the reader should ever have
a desire to catch a cod, there is one
simple procedure to remember First
locate little fish called the caplin and
then wait. 1t Is never-failing rule of
the deep that wherever there is a cap
lin there is always cod just one Jump
behind him.
Another reason why the inhabitants
of Newfoundland have to fish for a liv-
ing is that Mr.. Reid of Montreal con-
tracted for many of their fran
chises that there are no more induce
ments left for them on land.

{ MEAT CAUSE Of

J If you must have your meat

To neutralize these irritating

CALLS ROCKEFELLER
FOUNDATION A MENACE
Chairman Walsh of Industrial Rela-
tions Commission Thinks It
Should Not Exist.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, February 10
Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the fed
eral Industrial relations commission,
which has been investigating great
philanthropic foundations, in state
ment declares that John D. Rockefeller,
ST., dominates the Rockefeller Foun-
dation, which. Mr.. Walsh said. can ap-
ply the enormous power of the money
it controls to almost any purpose it
chooses
The testimony at the New York
hearing" declared Mr.. Walsh. showed
that the trustees of the foundation ex-
ercised no authority that did not come
from him. 1t showed that the directors
Of the foundation also were directors
of the Industries from which the foun-
dation obtained its funds. AS an in
terlocking system it beats anything
the railroads and banks ever exhibited.
The powers it claims and exercises
virtually are unlimited, as are its
financial resources. They are powers
which should challenge the attention
of every thoughtful American citizen.
Whether such powers can be permit
ted safely in the hands of any au-
thority less than that of the govern
ment of the United States is ques-
of the commissions forthcoming re-
port. I am. inclined to believe these
powers cannot be exercised under the
American theory of government.
Outside United States Control.
The commission is not through yet
with the Rockefeller and other foun-
dations, but this much can be said:
''The Rockefeller Foundation is en-
81
ment control.
Il am not surprised that the directors
and trustees of the Rockefeller Foun-
dation do not know some of the things
brought out at the hearing. They do
not know anything about the founda-
ton. They do not see Mr.. Rockefeller
twice year.
'Mr. Rockefeller is very smart man,
perhaps the smartest in this country.
But he could not tell the commission
why he did not use his profits to pay
living wage instead of using them
in the distribution of a charity that
constituted power which many Amer
leans have come to look upon as
menace.
Completes With United States.
The power of the foundations
money is being used to compete with
the United States government in the
investigation of the questions being In
vestigated by the industrial relations
commission. The United States govern
ment is spending 100000 in its in
quiry. The Rockefeller Foundation. If
it will, can spend $5,O00.oO a year. Its
investigation is being conducted by the
author of an Industrial act. tried in
Canada, which was opposed by every
labor organization there and which
failed signally."
