Hands Across the continent

TIoRMER GOVERNOR TENER reminded
- both California and Pennsylvania at the
dedication of the Pennsylvania Building at
the Panama Fair, yesterday, that there are
close bonds of interest between the States
on the opposite sides of the continent Men
who began their careers in California have
finished them as honored citizens of this Com
monwealth and natives OF this State have
risen to distinction in California So in this
great family of States, the visitors to the
Panama Fair will be merely paying their re-
spects to their cousins who happen to live
on the other side of the Rocky Mountains
The Pennsylvania Building. suggestive of
Independence Hail. worthily represents the
community where the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence had its birth Those who have
never been able to get nearer the Cradle of
Liberty than the west bank of the Missis-
slppi River may be reminded by it of the be-
ginning of the nation in this far eastern
corner of the land. Every Pennsylvania
who visits the Fair. and there should be
thousands of them will also visit the State
Building and there think of home even if he
forgets 1t in every other quarter of the ex-
hibitlon grounds.

All Ewes Arc on Italy

| OFFICIALS of the italian Foreign ONCE
! Ohave said that the attitude of the Gov
ernment is still one of hope. The attitude
Of the warning Governments is one of ex-
pectation, more or less impatient. And the
rest of the world is looking on with ll-con-
cealed interest. Prince Won Buelow, the Ger
man representative in Rome, has offered to
Italy large slices of Austrian territory, which
Germany does not yet own, If Italy Will re-
main neutral Austria has repudlated the
offer. and let's Italy understand that she can
not have any Austrian territory unless she
fights for It. The Austrian Emperor is in
dugng in the luxury Of logic in an extrem-
ity where logic is likely TO lead TO loss OF
even more than Germany offered to give
away.
The italian statesmen have been playing
their game with consummate skill ever since
the war began Although italy is. was,
member of the Triple Alliance, they managed
to keep her out Of the war entered upon by
the other two parties TO that agreement, and
they are likely to preserve the peace until
such time the weight of the Italian armies
will count most for Italy in the final settle
ment. They may be charged with pursuing
policy of selhshness but even so. they are
no more selfish than the German, Austrian,
Russian French and British statesmen. The
whole war has grown out of a conflict OF
selfish interests, and II the Italians are seek

Paving Their Debt

livery graduate of every endowed college
IL i'm the country was a charity student. He
paid in tuition but "A small part of what his
education cost. The balance was paid from
the income of endowments established by
philanthropc citizens. If it were not for
these endowments a college education would
be so expensive that only the very rich could
give 1t to their sons.
This is doubtless the reason for the plan of
the members of the graduating class of the
University of Pennsylvania TO take out en-
dowment insurance to the extent of 800 900,
TO be paid in 90 years. Each student is en-
pected TO insure himself for few hundred
dollars and keep the premiums paid so that
on the goth anniversary of graduation the
old institution may receive as thank Of
fering the handsome sum. This is the kind
of plan that ought to be adopted in some
form by the graduating class of every col
lege. Then 1t will be possible TO pay the
professors salaries adequate 10 their needs
and in some degree commensurate with their
value to the community, and the educational
plant can be enlarged and perfected in such
a way that each succeeding generation may
prepare little better for its work than it's
predecessor.

the question which strikes at the very life of

sword, as every sign now visible suggests,
there is the instant promise of the coming
of greater changes than the map of Europe

is that it points to German aggrandIzement,
the making of greater Germany, with Ger

GREATER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

To the Editor Of the EUenino Ledoer:
Sir-In order that there may be a clear nm
derstanding Of the purpose and trend OF the
present movement to give to PHILADELPHIA n
Greater Chamber of Commerce, would greatly
appreciate your publication of this statement
or the attitude of the Reorganization Com
mittee.
When this matter was first proposed by me
about two years ago the thought in mind was
the building of such a great commercial body
as would naturally result from the consoda-
tion OF the Board of Trade the Chamber of
Commerce and the Merchants and Manufac-
turers Association Apparently the time was
not ripe for such consolidation because it
was not effected.
II Is only able to say that the inabil-
ity of these bodies to effect a physical con-
soldaton should not stand in the way of Phila-
delphias putting herself on a par with other
large cities of the United States in the matter
OF organized endeavor the part of her lead
ing business and professional interests in the
city's behalf Hence the desirabilty of making
the next best move. namely. the reorganization
OF one of the existing trade bodies making its
objects broad enough and its scope of activi-
ties great enough 10 meet the needs of Phila-
delpha and to invite the 90 operation in such
an enlarged body of all who believe in a mod
ern, working commercial organization,
The Chamber of Commerce having already
large membership, possessing ideal name
and having established a working organi2a-
ton on a modest scale, seems the logical foun-
dation on which to build. Its directors unani-
mously assented to its conversion into a Greater
Chamber of Commerce.
The movement to that end was launched
September, but for the disturbed conditions
following the outbreak of the European trouble.
This movement is neither unfriendly an
tagonistc to any organization in existence in
Philadelphia. 1t is the belief of those who
have given the matter much thought that a
Greater Chamber of Commerce, with n mem
bership of 1000 or 5000, and working capital
OF 100000 or more year, could be formed in
this city without seeking to detract from the
prestige usefulness of any existing organi-
cation; that such an organization, based upon
the plans which have been worked out and
which will be given full publicity in very
short time, can accomplish immeasurabl good
in Philadelphia; and that until such a body is
in active operation this city will remain in
active in its own behalf and will not be in a
position to maintain its proper place in the
among American cities for commercial
supremacy.
The friends of this movement ask that judg-
ment be suspended until all the plans have
been placed before the people and the merits
of this movement and the value of such an or
ganization as is planned can be fully set forth.

ITALY'S REPEAL OF
AN OLDEN STATUTE
For Immediate Advantages Italy
Risks the Creation of a New Ger
man Empire and of Powerful
and Hostile Slavic State.
BY FRANK II. s1MoNDs

MO CAREFUL study of the map Is re-
IN quired to demonstrate how excessive,
how Impossible, from the Austrian point of
view, are the Italian demands. What Italy
asks is the entire seacoast of Austria Hun
gary Tyo years ago Austria intervened to
deny Servia window on the sea-; now
Austria Is asked to surrender hers.
There are two different questions raised
by the italian demand: First, as to the
character Of the territory asked and the
justice of the Italian claim. Second, as to
the immediate and remoter political conse-
quences IL the Italian appetite should be
satisfied.
What Italy actually demands falls into
three distinct categorles, the Trentino,
Trieste and the Gstrian ttoral, with Fiume
and the Adriatic islands.
Effort to Enslave Teutons
Accepting the Trentino as meaning the
Italian-s speaking communities on Lago dl
Garda and in the middle valley of the
Adige. there is every reason in the world
why it should be Italian. The people are
by race, language sympathy Latin. 1t was
lost to italy only by accident. While Aus
tria holds 1t she holds the key to all of
Northern Italy and Milan and the whole
valley of the Po is indefensible.
But Italy does not stop with the Italian
communes She also demands Meran, Bozen,
the upper valley Of the Adige and the whole
valley OF the Esak. Here the population is
German. Geographically the country belongs
to Italy. since 1t Is south of the Alps.
Strategically it would fortify Italy and give
her scientific" frontier but there is no
question of freeing Italians; rather 1t Is an
effort to ensave Teutons.
A similar situation exists in the districts
about Trieste and in the peninsula of Istria.
Trieste is quite italian as Genoa. Pola
and the shore towns Of Istria are equally So
But practically the whole hinterland is peo-
pied by Slovenes, who Slavs, not Latins,
who prefer to be subjects of Austria to be-
coming Italians and who can be annexed only
against their Will.
The islands of the Dalmatian coast all
bear italian names. They belonged to the
Adriatic empire of Venice and a portion
OF their population has been Latinzed. But
ural alignment politically is with the Slavs
of the eastern mainland, not with the Latins
of the remoter shore.
Save in the districts about Trent and in
Trieste Italy is not merely seeking to re-
deem old Italian lands and liberate Italian
subjects of a Hapsburg. She is quite as
patiently seeking to extend her frontiers TO
include people of races as hostile to her as
Austrian Italians are disloyal TO their present
sovereign.
