Persia sparsely Peopled.

It is easy to overrate the land OF
Darius and Cyrus, Amar, and Haflz,
for Persia has not nearly as many in
habitants as Mexico. Estimates differ
widely and there has never been a real
census, but 1t is possible that in ter
ritory equal to France, Germany. the
British isles and Italy all taken to-
gether, the population does not ex.
coed that of little Belgium. In area
Persia is more than Is times as big
as Ohio, but it contains fewer than
twice as many people.

Christopher Columbus, in spite of the
incalculable services he had rem.
dered to Spain, was taken into Cadiz
in letters. King Ferdinand and Queen
Isabella were moved at the sight and
commanded that he be released. CO.
lumbus, however, was unable to for
give the insult, and until the time of
his death the ignominious letters were
hung in full sight on his walls as a
reminder of the ingratitude of his SOW

see the problems to be solv-
.-ese hearings are as follows:
ow can all these ships of the coun-
try'S new merchant marine, built at
high war costs, for the emergency of
getting men and supplies to the Eu-
ropean battle front, be operated in the
fierce competition of peace times
against ships under other flags which
have been made available to their
owners at a price which permits their
operation at profit?
Should a certain percentage Of the
cost of our merchant ships be charged
off as war expense in the same way
that the navy is charging off the cost
of its war emergency fleet, and the
army the cost Of its camps and other
surplus war material?
This point having been settled, how
can the ships be most economically OPP
Grated in accordance with American
standards of upkeep and wages?
The latter question involves that of
ownership. At present a majority Of
the new ships are owned by the gov
eminent. Should they be turned over
to private citizens, and, if SO, at what
price, as compared with their cost and
the present cost Of building ships in
the open market?
Responsibility of Senate.
The House of Representatives al
ready has taken action on measures in
volving the same questions, voting al
most unanimously-240 to Sin favor
of the bill introduced by Chairman
William s. Greene of the Committee on
Merchant Marine, which directs the
Shipping Board to sell the government
owned ships in its control to private
buyers at the world market price las
soon as practicable.
This bill is now before the Senate
Committee on Commerce, and these
hearings relate to it, together with
three Senate bills on the merchant ma
rine, two of them introduced by Chair
man Jones and one by Senator Rams
dell of Louisiana All of the bills have
the same object-namely, the sale of
the war-built ships to private owners.
It may be stated incidentally that there
is no bill before Congress providing
for continued government ownership
of these ships.
Out of the four bills under consid-
GRAFTON it is expected that an effective
bill will be constructed for the con-
tinuance of the merchant marine along
lines that 1t is hoped will bring out the
same character of nonpartisan vote
that was manifest in the recent pas
sage Of the Greene bill in the House.
