Customs inspectors who boarded the
American schooner Augusta g. Hilton
which arrived at the Erie Basin, Brook
lyn, yesterday from the River Plate,
fled when they discovered countless num-
bers of certain variety OF live stock
not entered on either the manifest or the
crew list of the vessel and sent out a
hurry call for assistance from the
Health Department
Members of the crew told of the in
vasion OF decks. galley and forecastle
by particularly vicious species Of South
American weevil, which appeared as
soon as one OF the matches was opened
to admit air to a cargo of corn when the
Hilton encountered warm weather on
entering the Gulf Stream. The vermin
multiplied so fast that they soon infested
every portion of the ship. The men, I'M
able to exist in the forecastle, swung
their hammocks In the rigging. The
cook reported that 1t was impossible fol-
him TO prepare hot food In the galley
and for the rest of the trip all hands
fought with the insect horde for a share
OF such cold victuals as could be dished
up on deck.

SEES CHEAPER OIL
FROM SOUTH AMERICA
Investigator Says Fields Are
Just Being Opened.

That the oil output of Central and
South America, now just in the first
stages If its development, will play an
important part in the industry and have
n considerable effect on the price of the
product in the United States is the pre-
direction OF w. E. Griffiths of PittsburE,
who arrived yesterday from Colombia
aboard the steamship Turrialba of the
United Fruit Company. Mr.. Griffiths's
Investigations of the South American
oil fields were undertaken in the interest
of Henry L. Dohert & Co., 60 Wall street.
o. +, Frederick of Baltimore Ohio,
who has passed six years in Latin
America studying business conditions
there, also returned on the Turrialba.
He said that American exporters and
manufacturers would have to overcome
a large amount OF German and British
propaganda before they could hope TO
meet with any success In the South and
Central American markets. The British
anti-American propaganda is just as bad
as the German, Mr.. Frederick declared.
He added that American goods were
often purposely roughly handled before
they could reach consignees in order to
prejudice the buyers against further
dealing with American firms.

ran democracy be made both genuine

Tine world is desperately in need of
that kind of democracy. Industry is in
need OF It. Government is in need of II.
The social unit proposes to find II, first.
in the small community: second, in
larger units, each used as n social lab
oTatory in which theories shall be ,)ut to

feopie are tired of paternalistic
schemes-tired of having things done for
them. What they want ia a medium OF
representation and expression through
which they can do things for themselves
1 know of no movement to develop such
a medium which is comparable to that
launched by the social unit.
My father supports me in taking this
stand. it is in line with his own theories
