Reviving the Greatest of Sports

The news that Sir Thomas Upton has
challenged again for the Americas Gun
is as refreshing as an on-shore breeze at
the end of dead July afternoon. These
nave been slack years for all sport. The
greatest of sports ought of right to be
the t1rst to resume, and if there is any
greater sport than the duel between
great sloops off Sandy Hook it has vet
to be imagined.
The Shamrock " was deprived of her
chance in the lists by certain assassi
nation at Sarajevo. She still lies safe
and sound in South Brooklyn, we under
stand, and our own Resolute is declared
to be in as good shape as ever. If the
Vanltie and the Defiance wish to trv
again, by all means let them. There is no
need OF new craft and there is every rea-
son why the old contest should now be
put through. American yachtsmen will
be overjoyed to greet Sir Thomas, for
himself and for his nation.
British yachtsmen did rare work in the
great submarine chase of four years and
more Our own yachtsmen did their bit
with an equal will. Yacht racing prop
erly ceased here with our entrance into
the war. The only yachts in the water
were those doing Uncle Sans business
under new names and within strange
paint never seen on the face of a yacht
before. Now, with peace, boating be-
comes again the best play of nation
with it's eyes turned seward, embarked
upon huge adventure in shipping and
resolved upon great navy to help main
tain the peace of the world.

Another Approach

But even with it all the German just
about managed to skim the surface, for
the high possibilities in foreign trade are
to be reached by another approach.
The following, then, is brief outline
of that approach 1t is submitted with
some diffidence, for I fear that at first
reading it may be set aside without fur
Their ado, as, on the face of it, it may seem
paradoxical. Usually business seeks to
avoid competition, whereas this proposal
seems, at first glance, to go out of it's
way just to promote such competition.
But due consideration WILL believe win
for it assent.
Briefly, then, the approach is through
the upbuilding of manufacturing centres
with their factories in the countries where
it would be an economic advantage to re-
place handmade by machine made goods.
Such factories should be under local own
ership and direction. Local ownership and
direction would soon overcome the preju-
dice against change from handmade to
machinemade goods, and would likewise
overcome the obstacles due to diversity in
tastes and styles. Then, again, the en-
ployment at higher wage rate of local
labor in the factories would soon overcome
the economic hostility to which imports

The Victims of Shell Shock

1t is unfortunate that the remark of
Surgeon General Ireland before the SEN
ate committee as to the sudden cure of
1000 cases of shell shock should go out
to the country with the implication it
did. The Surgeon General observed that
all but about 800 had been promptly
cured with the signing Of the armistice.
at was" he declared, "the greatest ex-
perience in psycho-therapeutics on re-
cord" We do not suppose that DR..
Ireland remotely intended this as
sheer at the victims of shell shock, but
it would be so interpreted by the average
careless person.
The remarkable thing about this cure
is, first Of all, that probably, even as
badly stated by the surgeon general,
the report is true; and, secondly, that
precisely this cure had been predicted
by at least one prominent investigator
in this field. Some time ago DR.. T. H.
Ames suggested that this would happen
with the return of peace. Yet it would
be grossly unfair, and DR.. Ames had no
such intent, to suggest that shell shock
is not a real disease and that there was
anything in the nature of malingering
on the part of it's wretched victims. DR..
M. Allen Starr reports over $4,000 cases
in the British army alone. Fifty
thousand men are not taken out of the
ranks and sent to hospitals for imagi-
nary troubles.
The interest of shell shock lies in the
fact that it seems merely an exaggerated
form of some of the most common ner-
vous disorders of everyday life. 1t
seems simply an acute form of the very
familiar hysterias which have of late
years received so much attention from
the new school of psycho-analysis headed
by DR.. Freud. Like these, shell shock
appears to be a sudden reverson to
stages of mental childhood and even of
infancy. 1t seems primarily :. break
down of the adult mentality, or, if you
prefer, breaking through of the
strongly depressed infantile instincts
and impulses. It's more accentuated
form is the hysterical paralysis and
"traumas," which are among the most
battling and inexplicable morbid condi-
tons with which the physician of to-day
has to deal.
In way it is no more a wonderment
that a great number of cases should be
cured with the return of peace than, for
example, that an exhausted fire fighter
will recover with rest and proper treat
ment. The condition of shell shock seems
precipitated by the strain of war con-
ditions. 1t is essentially an uncon-
trollable infantie fear. With the ces-
sation of the cause the symptoms ought

No Magic

In countries where we now have but an
insignificant volume Of foreign trade the
proposed plan would undoubtedly create
steady demand for our money, our carriage,
our raw material, our findings our semi
manufactured articles, our machinery, etc.
All this, taken in the aggregate, would in
sure a very much larger volume of foreign
trade and would yield very much larger
net return than is possible through the
sale Of manufactured goods under the
sample trunk system.
Of course, the proposed network of fac
tories could not be expected to spring up
of a sudden, like Minerva fully armed
from the head of Jupiter, complete and
efficient. 1t would, on the contrary, be of
slow growth The proposal could be
started on a very modest scale Say
factory is started as a sample test in
given field; if it met with success it would
lead to the upbuilding of other factories
in the same field.

Twisting the Gables

Some years ago Mr. Vail and the able
heads of the telephone service conceived
the idea if not of a merger of the tele-
phone, telegraph and cable systems, at
least of a close-working arrangement,
and to that end purchased working
control in the Western Union which car
ried with it an extensive interest in the
cables The scheme in time would no
doubt have taken in the wireless systems
as we'll. The Western Unions chief
rival, the Postal, strenuously resisted
this ambitious plan and the Attorney
Generals Office lent such vigorous sup
port that the scheme was abandoned.
Then comes the war, with the equally
ambitious Mr. Burleson in the Office of
Postmaster General He is an ardent
advocate Of government telephones and
telegraphs and Of governmental under
takings in general. Under the war
powers conferred upon the President at
a late date the telephone and telegraph
systems are seized and put into Mr..
Burleson's hands. Finally, as the arms
tice is signed, the cables also are Topped
in to his strongly prehensile grasp.
Then, at Mr.. Bureson's right hand ap-
pears the benign and leonine figure of
the extremely able head of the telephone
company as special adviser. From this
extremely advantageous and strategic
position Mr.. Vail seems in fair way to
realize his ambitious project.
The latest chapter is the suit of the
Postal Telegraph resisting the rental
award as pure confiscation, the refusal
of Mr. Ward to accept Office under Mr..
Burleson, and then Mr. Burlesons retail
alton excluding Mr.. Mackay and Mr..
Ward from any participation in their
own company. A disinterested public
will probably feel that this unseemly
quarrel has gone far enough No ade-
quate reason has ever been given for the
seizure of the cables. 1t seemed a pure
product of Mr.. Burlesons Unsuitable
bureaucratic impulses. In every other
direction governmental control over in
dustry and business is being given up
and the country's activities brought back
to normal basis. The sooner Mr.. Burle-
sons hands are despoiled Of his latest
depredations tho better. Governmental
power is not proper instrument for pri-
vate revenge.

r GAZE down at the orchestra tonight:
l. Massed horns and drums and spidery
violin;
Black shouldered forms; shirt-fronts of
chalky white;
Uplifted elbows and down-pressing chins
close my eyes. Borne on a woodwind's
note,
Plaintive and primitive and questioning
leave the schooled musicians there, and
float
Into the sad joy Of Finland spring.
Loud brass and drums crash in with strident
blare,
In dancing steps as rude as Morse gods
play;
Harsh, jocund, colorful, it rocks the air,
The pageant of pleasant holiday.
The rostering dies. In somberness and
pain,
Deep tragic chords evoke the heavy sight
OF men who wind across a sullen plain,
Ice-gripped, to leave their dead in pagan
night
Again the spirits cry; the wild blood's fire;
Woodwind, and savage brass, and drums
mad roll:
Contending passions! Purpose and desire,

Could a Democracy Do It,?

There is, besides, another point for con.
sderstion. We have been repeatedly told
that in Germany the fostering of foreign
trade was broadly given the right of way.
That is to say, if an industry was started
which the government thought desirable to
push forward all obstacles in its way were
brushed aside. If an item required it, it
given special subsidies and privileges,
special transportation rates, special fiscal
advantages, special diplomatic and consular
services; and if an existing law stood in
the way, that law was, in that instance, set
aside.
Now, would we be willing to do ali these
things? Could we do them even if we
wanted to? Do we not see that only under
an autocracy is it permissible to do what
Germany has done to foster foreign trade
Do we not see that such things are not
permissible under a stable, constitutional
democracy?

Foreign Trade Zones

In substance, under the proposed plan
the foreign trade markets of the world
would be divided into zones, each with one
or more manufacturing centres, each Of
which may be designated as an industrial
and distributing base for the zone. Take.
for instance, the Mediterranean basin as
ore of these zones. Draw line from Glib
raltar to Syria and let the countries
north, south and east of that line form
that zone, with Italy as its base Similar
zones could be formed in other parts OF
the world, as, for instance, in the Scandi-
navian countries, in Central America, in
South America, in Russia. etc.

A more ill-timed occasion for such a

TROM time to time the American or
the British commercial traveller |

ERoM time to time the American or
II the British commercial traveller
appears on the scene, exhibits his
samples and in the usual busnesslike
way calls for orders. The German trader
on the ground is not disconnected a bit,
for he knows by experience that these
travellers will receive no orders. The
American commercial travellers rush for
orders is much like a sKlrmish; the Ger
man makes of it siege. The American
runs in and runs out of given territory,
quite often without any orders; the Ger
man stays, holds on and squeezes out all
the business to be had. 1t thus comes to
pass that the German is master of the
situation. He knows how to curry favor,
how to knuckle down, how to cave in. In
fact, he is protean and eel-like in his
suavity, master of the art of ingratiatng
himself with a customer. And for all
these reasons the German merchant Is
able to build up and substantially hold the
said markets all to himself.

A Much Larger Net Return

And right here the question arises, Why
should the American people go out of their
way to engage in the task of helping to
build up industries i'll foreign countries?
Should we not be building up competitors
who would not only be likely to spike the
guns of our foreign trade, but who might.
in time, even throttle us in our home
markets?
At first glance this would seem to be the
case, but some reflection will show that
there is LITTLE to fear from the Legitimate
competitor. For instance, the most force
full competitor Of the United States is
Great Britain, and the most forceful COM
petitor of Great Britain is the United
States; yet, notwithstanding, the United
States is Great Britain's biggest customer
and Great Britain IS the biggest customer
of the United States

of manufactures is usually hindered by
camors for a high tariff, no such him
drance is placed in the way of the i'm

The Highest Question

1ne I1ASneSt question
Four and half years ago, as now
we know, three nations had the power
to decide the fate of the world.
One was seized with a horrible lust
to decide it alone by archaic force. For
daring to do that she has been disarmed
and chained.
Now there are two. These two speak
the same tongue. They are, as we be-
ieve, highly qualified to bear aloft the
torch of human progress. They have
only to reach out their hands and take
control of such circumstances as shape
and alter the destinies of mankind. 1t
is an august opportunity, unique in his
tory, rich beyond imagination in poten-
talities of achievement.
And how do they approach it?
By beginning at once to discuss in
an acrimonious manner whether one
shall be trusted to have a bigger navy
than the other.
By force of circumstances America
finds itself engaged in a navy building
programme which rivals that of any
other power on earth. That any other
power on earth turns out to be one
only-Great Britain. And then una
wares, without thought, certainly with
out any national reflection, the Ameri-
can people become committed to a
phrase-"freedom of the SEAS" 1t
means what you intend it to mean.
If you mean only that the seas shall
be free in time of peace there is no
point to it at all, for the seas have been
free in time of peace.
If you mean that the seas shall be
free also in time of war you mean some
thing the implications Of which are
startling in the extreme to the people
OF Great Britain, for had they been un-
able to control the seas they could not
nave beaten the demon power.
But for the British navy, which con-
trolied the sea, Kultur would now rule
the fate of the world. Every one knows
this. Only an Englishman can really
feel it. And, feeling it deeply, he inter-
prets our phrase as a challenge to Brit
Ism naval supremacy. He cannot help it.
Let us not deceive ourselves as to
what we are talking about.
Last week there came by wireless
from the United States ship George
washington the following inspired
political message:
There is every indication that in his
utterances in France the President will
make plain his proposition that all come
10 the peace table prepared to make sac
''hces for lasting peace and that armed
domination by any one shall cease"
The one most notable case of armed
domination present in the minds of peo-
pie is Great Britain's domination of the
sea by reason of having the greatest navy

Inns message was outgiven from the
residents ship. 1t must have been in

uiu. The next day there was this decla-
ration on behalf of the English govern
ment by Winston Churchill, Minister of
Munitions:
We don't intend, no matter what argu-
ment and appeals are addressed to u.s. to
lend ourselves in any way to any fetter-
ing restrictions which would prevent the
British navy maintaining its we'll tried
and we'll deserved supremacy"
That is very definite. 1t had been in
vited.
T6ut what spectacle for the world to
