The commission estimated that an

Chief among the Recommendations
is that the governor of the canal rome

ploycs or any ciass thereof, for any
period OF time. but that the wages be
periodically adjusted in accordance
with law. which bases the canal wages
on tho pay of similar employees In the

States'. and that the governor shall
mot deal with labor organizations as

Finding the employment of United

the commission recommends that
tropical workers be employed ito the
extent possible. taking into consider
lido the fact that the canal Is, TO a
certain point. a m element OF national
defense" and that there may be GER
ain positions in which aliens ought
not to be employed.
The commission firmly believes
that II the recommendations are adopt

Made in America

fFrom The Los Angeles Tines)
Some Of the hardy Pfitons arc COM
planning that their pleasures are made
in America. Most Of the musical and
dramatic shows now popular and sue
cessful In London arc American offer
ings and, in most cases, are played by
American companies. The movies are
almost entirely American. Whether 1t
is to laugh or cry, the inspiration comes
from across the water. There are only
eight or ten Englishmade shows
drawing paying houses in London. The
big money is going to the Americans.
English writer's find proper grievance
in the situation, but they can always
get even by coming to Los Angeles and
going into the film game. The time is
ripe for an interchange. Genius should
know no flag or boundary. Some Of
our stars are going to England and
France with the prospect of remaining
there. They will make pictures beyond
tho water. Films can be produced
cheaper and the life is freed from re-
straints, censorships and other shackles
that chafe on American soil. The world
is an oyster to be opened with the
camera.

Wood and Wilson
a Newspaper Mans Impressions of the One and the
Other Gained from Personal Contact

Mr.. Wilson. What fear is that as
unfair things arc dons, you will blame
subordinates, and think that appeal
for the square deal all human beings
with n sense Of justice feel they are
entitled to will get your affairs
Strengthened out know such will be
the case. Like good soldier you must
now soldier into the shadows. For the
very fact that you are looked to Is all
that Is needed to poison the whole
atmosphere toward you at the white
House. So never look that way for
relief"
put in instances where had seen
Mr.. Wilson bear down on men around
him, often ardent helpers, who thus
had their hearts broken. told how
had seen Wilson refuse 20 meet and
greet the noble captain Of the Carpa-
this after he had so splendidly rescued
tho survivors Of the wrecked Titanic.
And how Wilson had humil;ated the
army officer who brought the Carpa-
this's captain to call, and had after
ward "cast asparagus" on this noble
seaman for seeking to get notcricty
and notice" by calling on Wilson, who
was "too busy with important matters"
to receive such calls. 1t was an inter
pretation Of visit and visitor one
was not likely to forget!
told Leonard Wood Of Wilson's
"quick accusing conscience" which
made him belittler of most men and
kindly appraiser Of almost none.
Well, one Of the things I now treas
ure out Of the World War is a bundle
Of newspapers. Most Of them l have
never opened, for the wrappers on them
were what touched my heart.
In the handwriting Of Leonard Wood
saw my name was written ON tho
address. The newspapers wero from
such places as Boulder Gulch and
minor towns Of Wyoming and Colo
rado. Such as l opened contained
articles telling how Leonard Wood had
come to town, had preached prepared
ness and the need OF throwing all pos
had passed on to the next small town.
There to do the same thing over again.
1t WIS an answer moro eloquent than
words to che role I had forecast for
him. He had conquered himself and
had gone to his banishment, to do there
what he could-for Wilson and the
war.
Now, Wilson is a splendid speech
maker, master with words. | have
never failed to be thrilled when have
heard him. But have never seen him
put his words into action. When The
New York Tribune first brought to the
surface--and you were first to do it
the break between Wilson and Nc
Combs, Wilson rushed to McCombs's
bedside and gave out statement Of
sympathy and sorrow-and violent
attack on the press for claiming just
what Tumu1ty now claims to be the
fact as to difficulties with McCombs.
Wilson's statement of the time was
widely published. Find it, and you will
notice he breathed wish that Nc
Combs might become we'll and be well
coined back to headquarters, in charge
of the campaign.
Read Tumulty and see how much
chance there ever was that that wish
could ever have been translated into ac-

Coast Forts Still Useful
Assertion That They Are Obsolete Controverted by
Major Glassbum, c. "A. C.

They are tho strong points upon which
the mansuvcrs Of the mobile army.
which completes the job Of preventing
invasion, are pivotcd. They protect
tho harbors, bases and Industrial CEN
ters, which are vital to our feet If It
is to take the sea, from long range
bombardment and from raids by light
craft. Except for tho above, they are
utterly useless.
Now, % to "Quarterdeck's" specific
statements anent Fort Wright. It is
no more the function Of Fort Wright
to defend the channel south of Long
Island than It Is it's function to defend
the entrance to Pensacola harbor,
nearly two thousand miles away. The
function Of Fort Wright, together with
it's supporting forts, is TO deny to the
enemy base in Long Island Sound,
thereby forcing him to attempt his
landing fer operations against New
England and New York at less favor
able points along the coast; to pro-
tect from destructive raids by light,
swift craft that vital length of indus
trial development which stretches from
New London to New York; and to pro-
tect New York from naval attack from
the rear.
a feet which might attempt to use
the waters south Of Long Island rs q
base from which to attack Fort Wright
and the Connecticut shore could do so
only in fair weather. 1t would be the
proper objective for our feet, and for
our aircraft based on Long Island. In
case our feet had been forced from
tho sea, an admirable opportunity
would be presented to our aircraft
to demonstrate under actual-not
eoretical---condition Of war, whether
they could sweep fleets from the sea
as readily as "Quarterdeck" says they
can. In this connection Quarterback"
having declared all weapons other than
aircraft obsolete, it would be interest
ing to have him recite the composition
Of this enemy feet SO composedly using
the wreck-strewn shore Of Long Island
as q base against our coast.
Do not conclude that we are fatu-
ousfy satisfied with our coast forts.
We are applying as rapidly as we can
the lessons learned in the recent war.

How Long,
Outspoken Critic of This 1ravesty
Called Prohibition"

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: How long is this travesty called
prohibition to be inflicted on hypo-
crite-ridden nation? Prohibition is not
proving failure-it has proved a fail
urc. In my home village, not 100 miles
from New York, we can buy at various
places champagne, Scotch and rye
whisky, imported and domestic gin, 5
per cent beer, brandy, chartreuse and
absinthe. Instead Of paying sore]y
this we pay five Or six times the
amount to chain Of bootleggers, who
are growing rich hand over fist.
The club, the forum of the Anglo
Saxon, has been destroyed. Instead of
the social group around q table dis
cussing matters of public interest, the
affairs of the day, men now sneak in
and drink off the hip, singly or in
pairs. Young girls in their teens who
never would have tasted liquor before
prohibition now share their partners
TASKS at parties. Women who used to
take one glass of champagne at dinner
and one at supper now begin the eve
ming with five or six cocktails. At our
great universities, where in my day
nothing stronger than beer was drunk,
students now drink gin and whisky.
Now that the appalling wave of vio-
lence, crime and disregard of law has
swept ever the country, hand in
hand with prohibition, the Anti-Saloon
League understrappers, who would
lose fat jobs if prohibition were aban-
doned or enforced. are silent on the
absurd benefits they claimed for it.
They now shout that it must be main
tanned because the Eighteenth Amend
ment is law. If SO, why not begin by
enforcing the Thirteenth and Four
teenth amendments? These have never
been enforced, because they are OBJ
noxious to tho people of the Southern
states. Prohibition is ten times more
obnoxious to the citizens of Roston,
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
ETC., who pay most Of the taxes TO sup
port the government and, incidentally,
tc support an army of spies to hinder
them from doing what they always
have done. are doing and will continue
to do.
Row long?
