Unhappy Little Helgoland.

After all the trouble which Helgo-
land has been to itself and Europe
and after all its buffeting from one
Power to another 1t is still doubtful
II the status Of the little island Is yet
definitely determined. The work OF
dismantling the great Notifications
built by the Germans goes steadily
on and Helgoland in time will be re-
stored, so far as appearances go, to
its original character Of North Sea
fishing island. But this is not
enough; the people have appealed,
first to Great Britain, then to Prus-
STA, the Allied Councils. and finally
the League OF Nations, to be relieved
Of the German control under which
they were left after the war.
But back OF this appeal lies an
interesting chapter of international
history. In the '70s and sos Of the
last century the island was unforti.
fed: the people were mostly fisher
folk who were contented under the
none too exacting British rule.
Then British diplomats snapped
the island for concessions on the
cast coast OF Africa and Helgoland
passed to Germany, to become even
tually one of the most strongly forti-
fed positions in the world. The peo-
pie did not like the Prussians or
their autocratic military rule, and
the treatment which they received
during the world war greatly in.

homes and interned in Germany,
mostly at Ruhleben, because the Ger
mans, knowing their strong British
sympathy, feared that they would
furnish to the Allies intelligence
regarding the islands strength and
It's approaches. When in 1918 they
were permitted to return they found
that many of their houses had besu

The Importance of this matter will
be readily understood IL we reflect that

WILLIAMSBURG. Mass. Aug. 22.--In-
dorsement Of the Luzzatti plan for an
International clearing house as a means
of stabilizing exchange rates and a
declaration that the past failure of gov
ernments to make progress In this direc-
ton has been due to the activity of
audacious speculative interests were the
features Of the lecture delivered at the
Institute OF Politics to-day by Tomasso
Tittonf. President of the Italian Senate.
Luzzattts new and vigorous pro-
posals for stabilizinS the exchanges were
received" Senator T1ttoni said, with
protest and bitter opposition on the part
OF SPECTATORS who are to be found
everywhere. in italy as we'll as IN
France. England as we'll as in the United
States. and who take advantage Of any
faulty system. These difficult technical
problems should not be presented at a
meeting where conflicting interests make
a conclusion impossible They should be
studied separately and independently by
an international commission"
Senator Tittoni put the problem Of
bringing about an actual Improvement
IN exchange rates UP to the individual
countries concerned
Each country" he said, should do all
in its power to right Its tax balance and
government budget by strict national
economy, by a just system of taxation.
by reducing all military expenses to their
lowest possible minimum and finally by
arresting the issue of paper money"
He discussed the plans that have
lately been considered for arranging long
term international credits In favor OF
the countries whose economic position
has been weakened by the war, and de-
clared that tho Ter Meulen plan, in
dorsed by the Brussels Conference was
'only feasible In the case of Austria
and Hungary and Poland and could
never under any circumstances meet the
conditions OF either Italy or Belgium"
The system Of economic control built
up by the Allies during the war was "a
foretaste OF State socialism" Prof.
Achille Viallate. prominent French econ
omist, declared in a lecture tonight
The special war time economic struc-
ture was however. an indispensable ne
cessity. he said.
Neither the interallied system nor the
system of control developed by the Gen.
harmonious whole. but without 1t, IL
would have been impossible for any OF
the belligerents to carry on the war;"
he continued.
AT the end Of the war people were
very anxious to get rid Of the strict
system Of economic control which has SO
long been exercised over them. BY the
devastated countries. however. contin-
ued industrial cooperation at least with
regard to war materials was much de-
sired during the first period of recon-
struction. and we realize to-day that this
would have been wise. But the Amer
lean Government did not find II possi-
BILE to continue the system on account OF
the great popular wish for an early re-
turn to freedom of individual initiative,
and the British Government was likewise
opposed. Consequently the whole struc-
ture was discarded"

English Railways Returned.

thoroughgoing British temperament.
Even on this side OF the water, In
spite of all opposition to government
interference in business, some ad-
miration was expressed at the fore

eminent, on the very day war was
declared, to put into operation its
scheme for national unification of
railway control.
Subsequently the terms OF payment
to railway security owners we're
fixed and the standard returns for
railways under Government guar
anty were agreed upon. The Minis
try OF Transport was set up. Oper-
alton of the various systems was
pooled. as were the earnings. Com
petition was disposed OF. There was
more business than the railways
could handle. To make a success OF
government control seemed only a
matter Of division; merely a mathe-
NAUTICAL problem of splitting up the
receipts, and, after paying the share
owners and bondholders an adequate
return, covering over to the Govern
ment the remaining surplus.
No surplus accrued. The railways

history of government railway opera

the war. The Government paid for

The Latest Rockefeller Gift.

The gift of Mr.. ROCKEFELLER,
through his Foundation, of $1,7s5, 900
to establish School Of Public Health
at Harvard University is another
great stroke in the attempt of the
philanthropist to save more lives
than ever were saved through any
single human agency or individual.
The new institution should be of
immense basic value to towns, cities
and even governments. For the
science and administration OF public
health departments, while they have
advanced far in the two generations
since pigs roamed the streets Of the
American metropolis, can still stand
q great deal OF improvement.
A school devoted entirely to the
very groundwork of public health is
sure to send out to the country young
men and women Of zeal and ability.
They viii have learned at one great
centre all that can be told them of
the methods that keep down the death
rate and keep up the health of COM
munities. There are none too many
trained public health officers now.
In establishing the new school at
Harvard, close to the Medical School,
the Foundation has taken advantage
Of the fact that that university al
ready has a general course for the
training of health officers and is so
situated that it will be possible for
the school to cooperate with the
laboratories, hospitals and public
health agencies OF Boston. The stu
dents will also be able to gain practi-
cal experience in industrial hygiene
among the many nearby factories.
Each new flow of gold from the
Rockefeller purse-and the total has
now nearly reached the half billion
mark-indicates the founders burn
ing desire to promote, as the charter
Of his Foundation reads, "the well
being Of mankind"

destroyed on the plea of military
necessity and that those left standing
had been stripped OF all their port
able possessions.
The Prussians endeavored to over
come the control which the inhabi-
tants had always exercised over their
local affairs by making voters of the
men whom they sent to the island to
dismantle the Notifications. A boat
load of the old fishermen, most of
whom were born under British rule,
went to Berlin to lay their case
before the Government. They were
curtly dismissed and told to go home.
They appealed to Premier LLOYD
GEORGE, who said he was powerless to

then they went to the League ask

What Ais the Dirigible?

Dispatches from London indicate
that the dirigible ZR-2. which the
United States bought for s2,0o0,000
is not only not in condition to make
immediate flight but may not be
brought across the Atlantic this
year.
AS the public has a pardonable
curiosity nowadays about the things
1t is paying millions for it would be
well for the Navy Department to
state the reasons for the delay. It
was rather surprising to most. lay
men that the Government should
have purchased, at such a price. a
dirigible abroad when it is obvious
that we soon must make such air
ships ourselves: and the Yankees are
good hands at such work.
Let's have the official up and down,
as the slang goes, on the ZR-2 and
its hesitancy.

Crop Diversifcation Pays.

If there is a farmer in the South
who has remained unconvinced Of
the advantages of crop diversification
as they have been set forth by au-
thorities on agriculture he must be
moved to acceptance Of the doctrine
by the logic Of conditions now OBJ
servable in Mississippi.
In that State, according to the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, "a comparison Of the financial
conditions Of dairy farmers and dairy
communities with cotton farmers and
cotton communities brings out the
fact that while 80 per cent. or 80
per cent. of the cotton farmers owe
banks money and are asking for ex-
tensions of their notes there are few
instances Of notes held against dairy
farmers. The merchants in the
towns surrounded by dairy farms, ac-
cording to the same authority, re-
ported their business remarkably
good" last fall and winter, when in
cotton sections trade was dead.
For ten years the Mississippi State
Agricultural College, working with
the Federal Department of Agricul-
ture, has been seeking to build up
carrying in the State to furnish a
source of income from the soil which
would not be at the mercy Of the
boil weevil. The Department says Of
the comparative showing made by
cotton and dairy farmers:
ITO farmers these facts should
lend encouragement to break away
from the one crop system: to the
bankers and business men they should
be convincing proof that greater farm
prosperity. attained by a more per-
manent and constructive type OF farm
ing, benefits the entire community.
THE growth OF the dairy industry
throughout the South is limited in a
very large degree by the willingness
and ability OF bankers and other
moneyed interests to finance the cot
ton farmer OF the past in buying
cows and making the necessary
changes in order to branch out in
a new line
The lesson is not for the South
alone to heed. Diversification Of
crops wherever farmers toll viii in
crease individual and community
prosperity and prevent the periods
OF terrible depression which are in
evitable wherever the one crop sys-
tenn is followed.

working their STATS in continuous
shifts and their rolling stock twenty
four hours a day.
But government control revealed
itself as destructive instead Of con-
structive. 1t wrecked the railways
both physically and financially. The
new railways act gives them new
deal. The best features of govern
ment control are maintained in the
amalgamation OF all lines into four
great groups comprising the south
ern, the western, the northeastern,
eastern and east Scottish, and the
northwestern, midland and west Scot
fish. The Ministry of Transport,
shorn of everything but supervisory
power. is retained. A rates tribunal
along the lines of our Interstate Com
merce Commission is erected. The
wage adjustment boards are to con-
tinue. A bureau of statistics will
gather data for the revision of tariffs
and Reconsideration OF goods. In
short, rule OF thumb methods are to
be discarded in favor of accuracy and
economy. The chief end Of the rail
ways, SO it is hoped, will be trans
portation and not politics.
In these hopes and plans for the
future success OF railway operation
we have much in common with the
British public. The railways of both
countries have fed long enough at the
public board to have forgotten their
habits of frugality under private
management. The return to private
control, therefore, is Of the nature of
q new sensation. But enough Of the
lessons OF government control will be
retained in memory to make the re-
turn of railway efficiency and SOL
vency appreciated the more keenly
and sincerely both here and in the
British Isles.
