such as those your correspondent
includes when he says: ut has

pie need a guardian.
The object of the law is 1.-The

ber," and that was the purpose Of
the Eighteenth amendment to the
Constitution. Every sensible per-
son knew there would be difficulty

ment during this generation, bu,

Just consider for a moment the
great good already accomplished
by prohibition. The papers tell us
from time to time that a certain
town has reduced its police force
in consequence Of prohibition: 9TH
ers have empty jails, and SO on.
The governor of North Carolina said
the women and children in his State
were better fed and clothed than

same result has been obtained In
every State in the Union. II We had

Eighteenth amendment will be the
salvation of the people.

The Editor Agrees!

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
I can hardly believe that the sole
preoccupations of those good citi-
zens who are wont to write their
opinions to The Herald's open
Court are religion and prohibition,
or that their sole delight is in per-
sonal controversy on hsir-splitting
questions.
Yet great part of the space in
the Open Court is given over to
discussions on the two first-named
topics and ! am sure that only the
editorial check keeps down the
controversies TO something like rea-
sonable proportions.
Naturally prohibition is a burn
ing question and scriptural inter-
probation is at all times OF deep
interest to thousands of us. But
are there no other subjects worthy
the ready pens of The Herald's
correspondents?
What of civic affairs, the arts.
the sciences. great happenings in
the nation and in other nations Of
the world? We read articles on
such subjects in each days papers,
we discuss them on the street and
in our homes: vet most of us never
seem to get as far as the writing
stage.
/ should very much like to see
the discussions and statements of
opinion in the Open Court broad
ened and multiplied in subject.
Can't some Of our Open Court
friends oblige?

Mesaliance.

1T is not expected that persons who want beer
i and light wines will look with favor on the
circus atmosphere" surrounding proposals to legal
ize their manufacture and sale primarily for the
receipts to be derived. Coupled with the proposal
comes the suggestion that the revenue so obtained
be utilized for a soldier bonus.
If the Republican party cannot meet its pledged
word to the soldiers sailors, Marines and nurses
without employing such a miserable method as that
it might we'll fail utterly in its attempt to meet
the demand that something worth while be done
for the veterans of the A. E. F., says an exchange
OF the proposal does not come from the C.
o. P. any than it comes from the Demo-
cratic party. There "wringing vets" in both
parties and because their districts are thirsty they
would be glad to form bloc and attempt to con-
vince Speaker Gillett Majority Leader Mondell and
the Senate majority leaders that every political con-
sideration requires that beer and light wines be
restored.
This is very probably true in certain Congress
sonal districts The plight of the Republican party
therein is just great that of the Democratic
party Nevertheless, the only way for the majority
and minority leaders to treat the proposed yoking
of the bonus and constituents thirst is to treat it
with contempt
If the cause of beer and light wines has merit,
let it stand upon its legs If the cause of ad-
justed compensation has merit let it stand without
any mesaance.

FORESEES GREAT

A study of the problem OF world

this kind Is advocated by DR.. w.
f. Ritter, director of the Sc.1pp5
Institution for Biological Research,
La Jolla, Cal, in a statement made
public recently by the Engineering
Foundation, which, with the Ma
tional Research Council, is conduct

ter research in science and InCus-
try. will the Washington confer
ence prepare for a next step which
Is vital to the solution of the prob
lem of the Pacific? That is a burn
ing question" says the statement.
What is that step?" 1t continues.
ITO initiate such a thoroughgoins
study as has never yet been at
tempted. There are about 1850. 000,-
900 people on earth, authorities tell
LIS. Inspection discovers thai about
932.000,000. or 81 per cent, of these
live in the Indo-Pacifc area, on
about 25 per cent OF the earth :,
land; while the remaining 46 per
cent live in the Atlantic area, on
about IS per cent of the land. OF
the 932,00O,000 Indo-Pacinc pupula-
ton about 100000 or So per
cent of the total world population,
are confined to the eastern and the
southern portions of the Asiatio
continent, on about IL per cent of
the earth's land.
But these familiar facts are far
from the whole story, because they
are only cumulative. They tell
nothing on the qualitative side OF
the problem. Nearly all these Ash.
atics belong to a culture that is
pre-eminently agricultural They
are anchored to the soil by chains
of necessity, custom, tradition and
religion older and stronger than
any known to the foremost peoples
of the Atlantic area.
From the density of these Ash
attic populations, from the type of
their culture, and from the higher
standards of living and the facility
of communication and travel in the
whole modern world, the tendency
Of these peoples to overflow into all
meagerly populated and cultivated
lands of the Indo- Pacific area which
are similar to those they have been
accustomed to for a score Of GEN.

Couple these facts with the fur
Their fact that all civilized peoples
now have positive knowledge tnat
there are no more vacant or hea

fact that both the Orientals and

and the momentous truth gradually
takes shape in our minds that the
instinct of self-preservation as here
developing a problem some elements
of which have never before con-
fronted mankind.
Whatever else, therefore. comes
from the Washington conference. II
there does not come the beginning

assemble in Chicago next month.
While highway improvement has made tre-
