The Associated Press reported some

fact that these soldiers did not con-

has never been established, although
the Germans have howled dreadfully
about it, seeking to create the i'm

stand guard over them. In removing
them the French war office an

a military one.
This has been one of Germany's
chief inspirations for propaganda
against the French. Only a few days
ago The Metropolis received some Of

PRESS COMMENT
Did Not Raise Taxes

bld MOT raise axes
In our statement about the remark
} able showing made by the commits
| sion ger form of government for
Sanford in Saturdays daily we said
the taxes had been raised that year
| by the new city government that made
a difference in the totals. This was
an error and it has been called to our
attention that the taxes were not rails
ed in the year. 1920 consequently the
totals show that the expenses under
the old form was s6S,91S.4S and the
total income was s52,76425 showing a
deficit of $16,154.22. Under the new
| form the city has paid off the old de-
| ficit and has a sum over the expenses
of s2,S45.27.
| We stated in Saturdays issue that
this was a good showing even with
| the taxes raised but since the taxes
were not raised and the statement
/ shows the new government to have
| paid off the new government to have
/ paid off the old debts and had a good
sum over and above all expenses the
| showing is all the more remarkab BILE.
And in 'congratulating the city com
mission on their good work the Her
| aid would like to add that in another
| year we should be able to take steps
/ to either purchase the plants of the
| Southern Utilities company, and give
the citizens the benefit of cheaper
rates on gas, water, electricity and ice
or If this is not me the commission
ers should endeavor to lower taxes if
| possible. While Sanford taxes are as
| low as any other progressive city it
would be the finest advertising in the
world to show the investor that San
| ford had even lower rate than many
cities. In othef words, with prices
falling and everything coming down
| in the next twelve months it should
not take as much money to operate
the city government and taxes could
be lowered. We all recognize the fact
that improvements and high taxes go
hand in hand and no one wishes to
retard progress by lowering taxes but
I if the commission by Tacticing the
same economy and business methods
could reduce taxes especially on resi-
dences in which the owners live it
would stimulate building as nothing
else would do and there would be twice
as many home owners as there are

Hardee fer Just Measure

Governor Hardee struck a respon-
sive chord in the hearts of south Flor
ida's citizens when he said at the
press breakfast at Tampa. that he was
in favor of reapportionment. Since
1885 the state constitution has carried
a mandatory provision to the effect
that there must be a reapportionment
every 10 years but it has been disre-
garded because the balance of pow
er lay with the northern and western
counties of the state, where it right
fully belonged in 1885, but which have
feared to lose 1t in a fair reapportion-
ment. Many good constitutional au-
thorities hold that every act of the
legislature since the first time 1t fail
ed to reapportion representation in the
legislature fairly, has been unconsti-
tutional. Certain it is that every bit
of taxation laid on counties entitled
to greater representation has been
grossly unfair and unjust.
1t was taxation without representa-
tion-nothing Iess-and our forefath-
ers went to war against such a situa-
ton.
Now there is some hope that this
generation-long condition of unfair
ness is to be changed. Governor Har-
dee, himself a north Florida man and
from a county that would be apt to
suffer from reapportionment has de-
clared himself for the fair thing, new
ertheIess, and the great influence of
the governors office may carry it
through. If reapportionment cannot
be had at the coming session, then
there should be state division. 1t is
not proper that a growing section Of
the state should be kept longer in
what amounts to bondage.-Lake

Barrett Sponsor
For Pan-American
Cultural Society
Organization Will Try TO
Promote Better Feeling
Between United States
and South America

For the purpose of promoting bet
ter understanding between the people
of the United States and South Amer
ica, ''along cultural and social rather
than along commercial and material
tines" meeting was held yesterday
at the Pennsylvania Hotel, with John
Barrett as sponsor for the general
plan.
Mr.. Barrett said that some time ago
he took up with a small group of rep
resentative men in the United States
and South America the question of
forming an organization, with branches
in each of the twenty-one American re-
publics, TO be. known as an unofficial
Pan-American Association, or League of
the American Peoples. The plan is
based upon. Mr.. Barrett's observations
during twenty years Of official expert
ence in panAmerican affairs. as for
mer director general of the Pan-Amer-
lean Union and United States Minister
in Latin America. !;
"The organization contemplates CO.
ordination and cooperation, free from
political and governmental control and
official international jealousies,' said
Mr.. Barrett. at is intended to ac-
complish for pan-American and inter
American friendship what great finan-
cial combinations achieve for COM
merce and trade. AS a result of the
first conference, it has been decided
to select a representative committee
od men from both North and South
America TO study the project in fur
ther detail and make an estimate of
probable membership and also of or
GanlZatlon expenses Wh iCh will he II, Of
solely by philanthropic contributions
of those interested and by small dues. "
Mr.. Barrett said that more than 60
per cent of some 10000 persons
throughout the Americas who had been
approached on the subject had re-
sponded approvingly. 1t was pointed
out that the proposed organization will
IN no way interfere with the official
Pan American Union, in Washington,
or the unofficial Pan-American Society
of the United States, in New York.

for repairs. The British ioiners then
appealed to their fellows on the Cont
nent to support them, but the appeal
has bsen without effect.
British Labor Waivers
There are some signs of a split in the
labor ranks in Great Britain itself.
The joiners' strike in British shin
yards, which is in its third month"
says Lloyd's List, of London, ais having
an adverse effect on the employment of
other shipyard workers, whose attitude
TO-. the strikers Is shown by their
failure to respond to the proposal of a
voluntary levy by the other shipyard
members to augment the ioiners'
strike pay"
1T is reported that not single ship
building order has been placed on the
Clyde as yet this year" states The
Liverpool journal of Commerce,
scandinavian orders are going to Ger
many, where the cost of production is
half that in Great Britain, and the re-
pair orders are being secured by Hol-
land and France"
Strong opposition is voiced by ship
ping men here to the proposal to make
a drastic cut. IN the appropriation for
the State Nautical School. Consider
ing the great benefits derived bv the
state from the position Of New York
as the leading American port, vhey
say, the annual expenditure on the
school is we'll justified.
Seek to Save Schoolship
In this connection a protest has been
made to Governor Miller by the Ameri-
can Steamship Owners Association
against any reduction in the appropri-
alton. The ship owners point out that
the increase of the American OCEAN
gong merchant fleet from 2,128,00 tons
in 1914 to 12,1s4,000 tons in 1921 has
created an extraordinary demand for
young American seagoing officers. and
that the school has proved os great
value IN educating young men of an ex-
ceptionally high type.
=, 1T IS further stated by the association
that New York, as by far the greatest
American port, receives the greatest
benetlt from the increase in ocean ship
ping and deserves proper consideration
at the hands of the state government.
Every dollar expended for the main
tenance of the nautical school," the
ASSOCIATION states in a letter to Gov
ernor Miller, "is returned to the state
treasury many times over through the
prosperity of the great industry in
which the schoolship is an indispensa-
bic factor.
:. "As the graduates pass into the
united States naval reserve and form
an important part of the personnel of
the naval establishment, the shipown-
ers urge the Governor and the legis-
!ators to consider that any reduction
IN the capacity of the schoolship at
this time would be not only loss to
the State and City of New York, bat
a misfortune to the nation as we'll"

American Exports
To Germany Near
Pre-Wat' Figures
S3ll,O0O,OOO Worth Was
Shipped Last Year, Com
pared With 1851, 900, 900
During the Year 1913

The value of American exports to
Germany was higher last year than IN
any previous year, with the exception
of 1912 and 1918. Although the eX-
ports in 1919 were valued at only
S92, ,76t 900, those in 1920 mounted to
$311, ,437 600, as compared with $500
451 600 in 1912 and 1851 $4,000 in 1913
Doubtless the decrease in the guam
tity of goods exported to Germany
since pre-war years has been much
greater than the valuations indicate" "
says The Commerce Monthly, published
by the National Bank of Commerce.
"Trade with Germany has neverthe-
less recovered to a remarkable degree,
for after the United Kingdom, Canada,
France, China, Japan and Italy Ger
many was the chief customer of the
United States in 1920"
Complete details as to the exports
are not available, but the values of the
principal classes of domestic merchan-
disc shipped to Germany in 1920 are
now reported. The exports of cotton,
the chief item, were valued last year
at $4,000 900 more than in 1918. The
1920 values are as follows:
