COMMERCE

COMMERCE
BY President Wilson.
America is, as a matter of fact,
producing a great deal more than
there is a domestic market for; and
if she does not get bigger foreign
markets she will burst her jacket.
There will be a congestion in this
country which will be more fatal eco
nomica1y than any widest opening
of the ports would be. The working
men of this country allowed them
selves to be deceived for long time
by being told that the protective po-
licv was for their sakes. / notice
that it is admitted now that they did
not get their share. They never did
get their share except when by united
effort they went and got it. When
we are fighting for more extended
and freer commerce we are fighting
to increase the production Of Ameri-
can goods, to increase the sale Of
American goods, to increase the va
riety of the prosperity of the .Ameri-
can people. - To Workingmenls

Human Sacrifices.

In battle the Aztecs strove to save
life so that they could use their pris-
Oners as human sacrifices to the gods.
They had the art Of ambush reduced to
such science that it was nothing I'M
usual for them to bring home $4,000
prisoners after campaign. Their bat
ties were not fought for the sake Of
any principle, nor yet to gain territory.
They fought in order to capture prison
ers. and the hot headed young soldiers
were given wooden swords. for fear
they might I'm the heat Of battle unwit-
tingly STAY a foe. A dead enemy was
already dead. and hence OF no value
for sacrificial purposes. Were the Az.
tees humans? Well. not so that you
could notice. But their destruction of
prisoners on the affairs of their bcauti
full temples was done in the name of
religion and hence not reprehensible.-

Animal and Plant Life in Brine.

Just west of Promontory Point sta
tion, Utah. is a pond cut off from the
Great Salt lake by the railroad en-
bankment. at times of high water in
the lake this reservoir fills by percola-
ton through the embankment, but dur.
Ing the summer this water is concen-
trated to brine by evaporation. The
deep pink color of the brine is a phe.
nomenon that appears In salt ponds
generally when certain concentration
is reached. In the salt ponds Of San
Francisco bay this color is due to a
certain bacillus which lives In satu-
rated brines and also In the heaps of
salt as it Is piled for drainage and
shipment. Prohibitive to life us such
an environment might be considered.
strong natural brines are, In fact, in
habited by a number Of minute organ
isms, animals as well as plants. The
pink color disappears In winter or
when fresh water is introduced into
the pond.-Unitcd States Geological

The independent commonwealths
that are to make up this mightiest
union of all earth's history number
1928 ,293 people and cover 1885,
936 square miles.
An amalgamation greater than the
number of people now living under
any one flag, except that of decrepit
old CHA and the far-flung British en-
pire.
And with only one continuous coast
line to defend, and two contiguous con-
tinents to guard, far-seeing Pan-Amer-
lean statemen assert that his proposed
union of the western nations will in
time become invincible both in peace
and war.
The part of the United States in
this great new continental union has
been outlined by the army and navy
strategists, whose program calls for a
navy that will equal that of any two
combined nations not including Great
Britain, and that in 1925 will over
shadow even the British armada.
The navy's general board and the
army's war college have demanded,
for the security of the greater Pan
American doctrine, these things:
For the navy-$30O,O0O,0O0 in new
ships. The total investment in the
present navy, built in the last thirty
years, is $46O,OOO,OOO. Four dread
naughts and four battle cruisers. En-
tension of shipbuilding facilities to
permit heavier construction programs.
For the ARMY, 100000 men in
regular army and reserves in 6 years;
one-third of these to be fully trained
regulars; at cost in the next two
years of 100000. Increase of SO
per cent in personnel and equipment
of coast artillery; cost $8l, 900, 900;
.$104 100000 reserve ammunition and
material to be accumulated in foul
years. Y
Because they feared the cost of this
increase in armament would be more
than the country would stand for, Sec
retaries Daniels and Garrison have
have modified their proposals to thu
81 ,OOO, 900, 900 plan which will give the
country a mobile army of V,000,OO(
men, and add 6 dreadnaughts and II
battle cruisers to the American flee
: by 1924.
