imports OF oil from Mexico. The
large volume and the low value OF
these inward cargoes Of oil account
for the great discrepancy between
import percentages by value and vol
ume carried in our ships.
BY eliminating this tanker service,
which is not merchant tonnage in the
strict sense, better idea can be OBJ
tanned of how much actual mer-
chandise is carried by our ships on
the homeward trip. In the case of
Galveston the survey shows that the
proportion of cargoes other than oil
carried in American bottoms is less
than G per cent. Practically the
same thing is true at Port Arthur. At
Baton Rouge, New Orleans and San
Francisco, as well as at other ports,
oil cargoes are large.
Specialized tonnage has it's useful
purpose to serve, and no ships under
the American flag are at this time
rendering better or more efficient SER
vice than American tankers. But
their usefulness is quite different
from that of straight merchant ships,
which are profitable and helpful to
the nation only when they can sue
cessfully compete for cargoes arising
in the regular course of commerce.
The figures show that the bulk of
this kind of cargo, both in the ex.
port and import trade, is going to
foreign vessels.
The So per cent. volume of total
trade carried by American ships, con-
trasted with only SO per cent. in
value, is-like synthetic beefsteak--
long on appearance, perhaps, but
short on nourishment.

Gatti Home With No Caruso Successor
Metropolitan Opera Director Says Only Time and the
Public Will Fill Great Tenor's Place.

Giulio Gatti-Casazza, director general
of the Metropolitan Opera House. who
arrived yesterday on the Cosulich liner
Presidente Wilson, declared when the
ship docked at Bush Terminal. Brook
lyn. that the public will decide who shall
take Caruso's place at the Metropolitan.
Mr.. Gattt- Casazza, who was accom-
panied by his secretary. Luigi Villa, was
In the northern part of Italy, where he
stayed all summer when the noted tenor
died in Naples.
The impresario said the effect of
Carusos death upon local opera could
net be determined until the season was
under way. Asked concerning a report
that he had chosen Martinelli for the
so-cailed "Caruso roles" he said:
II have not and cannot, am simply
the manager. Time and the public are
the only two factors that can decide who
shall be Caruso's successor. AS matter
O. fact, there are no Caruso roles. All
cur male singers have sung in the
same operas he did. There are a great
mary aspirants to his place"
Tie impresario will give out an an
Eouncement Of his plans for the coming
season at the Metropolitan this after
noon.
Also arriving on the Presidente Will
sen was Giuseppe Bomboschek. a con-
ducvor of the Metropolitan and secretary
of me company. who went 10 Europe

Weighed and Found Wanton.

New York trustees of the beautiful
art OF the drama should be cautious
in trusting their creations to the
crude treatment Of the hinterland.
The comprehensive and mysterious
region professionally described as
'the road" does not always react to
the presence of art in its provincial
midst in just the way 1t should. Re-
cent tragedies bear witness to this
idiosyncrasy.
Pittsburgh decided ruthlessly
against THE Demi-virgin," the
latest product of A. II. WooDs's dra-
matte incubator. In spite of the fact
that its author wrote most of the
so-called bedroom farces that have
amused the metropolis in recent
years and labored in this effort to
achieve his masterpiece, the public
of Pittsburgh did no more nor less
than shut up the show and send it
about its business.
Richmond was recently just as
cold to the hygienic farce of steam
room and swimming pool called
Ladies' Night" which was a source
Of harmless merriment to the metrop-
oils for more than year. It had
to- move from the Virginia capital
after the briefest divulgence of it's
beauties. The fate of "Bluebeard's 8
Eighth Wife" in the academic at
mosphere of New Haven is familiar.
The judgment Of Paris was this time
reversed. The eighth wife returned
to be celebrated by her townspeople.
SO there is danger in sending these
fragile flowers Of the theatres art
into the -unsympathetic ether Of the
hinterland. The atmosphere of the
tall grass does not agree with them.
They should be the flreside COM
panions of the Manhattan entrepre-
rcurs who launch them into the zone
of Punch and Judy. The impresa-
rios should not Danish them to the
sticks" They can never flourish
too far from Forty-second street and
Broadway.

More State Millions Saved.

Governor MILLER's business way Of
doing the States business at reduced
costs makes it possible for him to
think lightly of many millions of
revenue which will be lost to the
State through the invalidity of the
bonus act. When the Court of Ap-
peals declared the measure to borrow
money for bonus purposes was un-
constitutional it's opinion rendered
r.ull and void the direct tax laws
whole debt service item at the rate
Of .7727 mills, which was to provide
millions more than the bonus item.
But if a government has been prac-
tising as well as preaching economy
even S11 1,475,359 that is expected to
come into the treasury, but will not
come in, does not matter so very
much. Expenditures have come down
so sharply and the State treasury,
without the bonus interest to pay, is
in so comfortable a condition that
the State can get along without any
of the other debt service millions in
volved. So there is another big saw
ing for the taxpayers, so far as their
State Government is concerned.
But what shock to the spenders
in our City Hall and to the Tammany
financiers in Fourteenth Street who
are the supergovernment over HYLAN
to hear that there is such a thing as
genuine, economy, not to mention
sound business management. in pub
lie affairs.

Britain's Unemployment Problem.

Several thousand unemployed work
ers gathered on the Thames Embank.
ment in London on Tuesday and
started march on Trafalgar Square
intent on making that busy centre
the scene of mob demonstration In
behalf Of the doctrine Of full paJ
without work, a communistic pro-
gramme which a few weeks ago
landed number of Borough Coun-
cillors in Jail when they attempted
to put 1t into practical effect.
The demonstration was diverted
from Trafalgar Square after some
rioting, in which the police used
force and several Of the rioters were
injured. The leader of the mob, q
woman from Islington, the ,hotbed OF
labor unrest, was arrested after the
rioting. Nothing was accomplished
and the cause Of relief for the unem.
ployed was set back rather than set
forward.
/ Almost simultaneously Premier
LLOYD GEORGE, accepting the freedom
of Inverness, told a gathering there
that the nation would do it's utmost
to relieve the unemployed, but that
such relief must be based on the
country's ability to pay and not on
the demands Of the leaders who were
leading the jobless in the wrong di
rection.
British unemployment is caused
more by the stagnation Of interna
tional trade than by the slack de-
mand for goods at home. For this
reason the British worker must soon
or late accept wage scale which
will enable British enterprises to
compete on advantageous terms in
foreign markets with manufacturers
Of countries like Germany, where
foreign orders are being gathered in
because Of low costs resulting from
the low value of the mark abroad
and it's high purchasing power at
home.
The workers in England who de-
mand full pay without work are
helping to throw their comrades on.
of Jobs by raising the general cost
of production and putting Britain
at a further disadvantage in com.
petitive markets.

How Much Our Ships Garry.

chairman LASKER does not over
state the need of putting business
into American bottoms. For the
last fiscal year, which was much bet
ter than this one promises to be,
American vessels carried SO per cent.
Of our exports and 72 per cent. of our
imports, or 81 per cent. of our total
foreign trade by weight. These fig
ures are the outcome OF a recent in
vestigation by the Department Of
Commerce and the Shipping Board
On its face the showing looks
satisfactory. five could maintain an
average Of 81 per cent. in the carry
stng services connected with our for
eign trade 1t would seem that the
mission OF our merchant marine
would be fulfilled. But the figures in
this survey do not reflect the true
strength of our merchant ships, or
what might better be called their
weakness.
In its monthly publication on
American foreign trade the Depart
ment OF Commerce sets out, by value,
the percentage Of our trade carried
by American and foreign vessels.
For the same period covered by the
figures in the weight survey -our
ships carried In value only 40 per
cent. Of our imports, 80 per cent. Of
our exports, and 80 per cent. of both
exports and imports.
BY weight our ships carried 26,7g1,-
363 long tons of imports out OF a
total OF 36.S79,532, or 72 per cent.
leaving only 2S per cent. of the busi-
ness for foreign vessels. But the
value OF this 72 per cent. in weight
OF exports was only about 81, ,30f ,000.-
900, while the % per cent. of our i'm
ports by weight brought to our
shores by foreign vessels was worth
81 ,905, ,000, 900. or nearly so per cent
OF the total value of imports.
In exports the business was better
balanced, so far as weight and value
were concerned, but American ships
took the small end of the business
Our ships carried 23,o91, 900 long tons
out Of total OF 59.2O5,O00 long tons
of exports, and the value of this ex-
port tonnage was about 245.7O3, 900
out Of a total value of s5,7O2. .72s, 900.
Thus both the weight and value Of
exports in American vessels repre-.
sented about 80 per cent. of the
whole.
A summary of shipments at each
port shows that the dominance OF our
ships, 80 far as weight goes. in the
import trade is due entirely to heavy
