 Anything that brings more ships into the active world of is to that extent relief from the terrible exploitation of shipping rings stae-owned American ne charging reasonable freight rates might be a considerable relief"

NAMES

The people whom we call seryians insist that they really "serbinas" or Serbs" and that the name of their country is Serbia" Certainly they ought to know. And certainly there is no reason why English. speskng people, whose language so easily admits an Hordfoms should refuse them their proper appeation
 This isn't merely a question of spelling and pro nuncation. but national pride The name servia is too suggestive of the Roman word "servi" which means servants" slaves" and is naturally resented by of fighters
 If grant servia the right however, to demand that her own name for herself be adopted by the world where shall stop? Hasn't every every country and every city similar right? Hasn't "Habana" for example a right to its "b"?
 And why should go misnamng Italian cities ? Why following the barbarious English mispronunciation hould call Leggiomo "Leghom"? Why should we follow the French in clubbing Firenze "F1orence" and NapoH Naples and venezia "vence"? By the same oken what right have the French and Spanish to call London "Londres'?
 We have generally adopted the German names with perversion, but why say vienna" for Vein or why ay Munich" when its inhabitants say 'Muenchen"?
 And carry the point stn further why do we call the Teutons Germans adopting the old Roman word for people who have used it for themselves? The Germans. are 'peutcher". or Dutch" and their country is Deutschland" "Dutchland" We have giyen their rightfu name to the Hollanders Similarly persist in calling the historic people at the lower end of the Balkan peninsula Greeks and their country Greece, although they and have always been Hell cnes" and their country "Helas"
 Maybe one of these days the geographers and his torians win start all again and agree to the native names everywhere just as an acquiesced re oenty with Russia that the artificial, nonaussian St Petersburg should be thenceforth "Petrograd"
