RESTORING sHAp INDUSTRY

TISH COMMISSIONER BULLER
II will have the hearty support Of
the public in his effort TO restore
the shad fishing industry to the Sus-
qUehanna river. In particular is the
public interested in the extension OF
the fshway at the McCall's Ferry dam.
It is proper 10 plant the 100000
young shad that Mr.. Butler proposes
TO place in the stream, but the upper
reaches Of the -Susquehanna river will
benefit Very little unless this hshway is
improved. Shad in particular dislike
artificial channels, and the proof that
they do not, or cannot, use the present
fshway 70 any great extent lies in the
fact that there are few, if any, shad
in the Susquehanaa river at Harris
burg row. whereas before the McCall's
Ferry dan was built there were hun
dredS OF the fish in local waters.
Too little attention has been paid to
fishing in the upper waters OF the
State. although conditions have i'm
proved IN ecsnt years. For instance,
in Tioga county, Pine creek is free
from impurities and there good bass
fishing abounds. But along the Cowen-
esque river the great ~tanneries have
rendered the waters foul smelling and
impure. Fish are killed by the thou
sands every year. Conditions there
are so bad that cows drinking from
the stream die and the odors along
some sections are abominable. Not
until such evils as those at McCaIIs
Ferry and along the Cowenesque are
remedied will fishing in Pennsylvania
come into its own and full confidence
be restored in the Department Of Fish
cries.

THE NEW CITY PLAN

TINE National Municipal League
has outlined a new model for city
government. The league believes
the commission-manager form best
meets the needs.
Put the government up to a small
commission, let the commission dele
gate its powers to "a manager ami
efficiency will be promoted and graf;
eliminated.
Perhaps, 1t depends much on both
the commissioners and the manager
they hire. But there are those who
see danger in this concentration of
municipal responsibility. There are
others who believe that this central
ization Of power robs the private citi-
zen of initiative and saps individual
interest in public affairs. Many cities
will want to know something more OF
the new plan before rushing tc
adopt IL.

seeure. and where conflicting spheres
OF influence with their accompanying
preferential trade rights have from
time to time existed. commerce be-
comes a matter for national diplom-
acy as much as for individual enter
prise.
It is for this reason hat new trea-
ties relating to the status of strong
Powers in the weak countries in the
Orient have a direct bearing on the
interests of Americans. For nova
days il is a well-recognized fact that
the prosperity OF a business man who
lives a thousand miles inland from the
national boundaries, and who lever
does business outside his own county.
is nevertheless dependent on he
prosperity OF the nation as q whole,
and that prosperity is in urn depend
ent on the state OF foreign trade.
The diplomacy which looks after
business interests has come TO be call
ed in the last few years dollar di-
plomacy'-a catch-word that has
about it a hint Of opprobriup. None
the less. dollar diplomacy seems in a
fair way to be universally recognized
as the leading form Of modern di-
plomacy. Religious wars, wars OF con-
quest, wars growing gu OF personal
ambition or over boundary disputes
have disappeared among frst-class
powers; even wars over national hon.
or do not seem 10 be much in evil
depce, for here arbitration has its per-
feet opportunity. Modern wars are
trade wars in the last analysis. which
means they are the bitterest kind of
wars - battles for existence. They
are dollar wars. and for the same rea-
son we nav dollar diplomacy.
1t was the scorn for dollar diplom-
acy hat led to the withdrawal of
American capital from participation
in a recent large foreign loan TO
China. While no official statement to
this effect has yet been made, the re-
port is current and accepted that the
United States will favor American
loans 10 China, so long as these do not
imply any preferential concessions TO
the lenders. This is a basically sound
policy for the nation TO adopt. Indi-
vidually, we are all dollar diplomats
in the game of life by force OF neces-
sity, and the same force operates on
nations.
Certain parties in China profess to
regard the new American attitude as
coming too late in some respects, since
Russia has recently loaned s1S,000,0 900
on accoun Of northern Chinese rail-
ways, and her concessions cover some
what the same ground whose opening
was contemplated in the American
Chinchow-Aigun railway scheme,
which fell through on account of for
eign opposition and a lack OF enthu-
siasm in domestic support But there
are plenty OF opportunities for invest
ment left in China.
1t is in this latter connection that
the possible effects Of the Russia
Japan agreement are giving rise to
endless speculation. What will be the
effect on American chances? Will
these two Powers divide the Far East
between them, as Senator Lewis put
it; do they contemplate the division
OF the world into three parts, a Eu-
rope controlled by France and Eng
land. an Asia controlled by Russia
and Japan. and an America controlled
by the United States for business pur-
poses, il we can control il?

FRANCE $ DEBT
 MAKESPROb[EM

PARIS Dec. 27.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press.) How is France going to pay the bill? By applying to productive occupations the effort she has sustained in war is the opinion of M. Raoul Peret, former minister of commerce. In an
 interview with The Associated Press he also declared that the theory of reciprocity ought to be applied to the commercial relations between France and the United States after the war. M. Peret is now ''rapporteur' of the budget in the chamber of deputies a post equivalent to that of chair man of the ways and means commit
 tee of ,the house of representatives.
 Alexandre Ribot minister of finance, has had the delicate task of borrow
 ing the unprecedented sums that have been swallowed up by war. Raoul Peret who has not much more than half of M. Ribot's 75 years, has be- fore him the task of finding the wherewithal to liquidate the debt.
 M. Kibot, by his prompt action in issuing short term bonds, rendered an inestimable service to France '' says M. Peret. He gave the French people 8 chance to show their con- fidence they brought him 30 much money that 1t was not until the 18th

Day Light Saving

The Republican has been invited to join in a Day Light Saving movement for the furtherance of which a great convention is to be held in New York next month Great preparation is being made for the convention and speakers of prominence are expected to be present. The purpose of course is to agtate for the adoption in the United States of a scheme for turning the clocks ahead an hour during the summer months the principal argument being that the people would then begin their work an hour earlier and, presumably retire an hour earlier
 The day light saving scheme is said to have been first advocated by Benjamin Franklin while he was living in Paris when night turned into day mostly for pleasure. One morning Mr. Franklin, who was an indefatigable worker found that he was fall ing into Parisian ways. He arose one morning when the sun blazing into his sleeping room and real izing that sunlight so much cheaper than arti- ficiai light, he put his views upon paper We do not know though that he contemplated any interfer ence with the clocks.
 Soon after the outbreak of the war Germany adopted the day light saving project more for the saving of artificial light the clocks were turned forward England later adopted the plan There was good reason for both of them doing so for the days were not too long for the prodigious abors which confronted them
 Americans are, fortunately not under the neces- sty at the present time of inaugurating such cere- monies Most of the work done in this country is done or shortly will be done. the eight-houx basis and there is plenty of time between seven o'clock and five to complete each days task measured by hours Moreover, there is law in this country against rising at six o'clock in the morning either summer or winter The assumption that people can be fooled into changing their habits by simply mov- ing the hands of the clock fattering to their intelligence
 If any organization is convinced that the busi- ness day ought begin hour earlier in the sum- 10 agitate directly for such change without med dlirg with the hands of the clock. There is enough
 make believe practiced without deliberately cul- uvating the habit
 There two times in the year when the sun rlses about six o'clock and sets six. Those hours are the natural beginning and end of the day The clocks are adjusted them The variations are noted by the almanac makers and there is therefore time is the time at any place indicated by the clocks when the sun is the meridian of that place at noon by the clocks. The establishment of stand ard time few years somewhat disarranged the place to the extent of more than half an hour At the divisions between different standard zones sun time and standard time identical The proposed disarangement of hour is something for which we think the people would not stand, seeing there is need for it.
