VIEWS OF M ON
TREATY WITH AMERICA

ponents in the world in which she
feels she is interested, for l believe
firmly that America. entirely apart
from the general and abstract con-
siderations of justice and fair play.
will realize that her own interests
are primarily served by generous
and upright treatment of Germany.
In one way it is perhaps fortu-
nate that a long time elapsed before
actual ratification of the treaty that,
more than any other of which / have
heard, depends for its character upon
the nature of Interpretation and ex-
ecution.
In the unofficial business relations
between our countries, which took
place before the ratification, / am
convinced that very many of us. on
both sides of the Atlantic. learned,
and some who had forgotten re-
learned, how closely dependent upon
each other we are.
The industrial depression in
America is due in no small part to
Americas inability to dispose of
goods in Central Europe. which has
been reduced to its present circum-
stances mainly by unwise provi-
visions of the treaty of Versailles,
whereas our W business condition,
unsound at the core in the opinion
of many of our leading financial ex-
perts. is merely a reflection of the
outside worlds inability to compete
with the products of a country whose
currency becomes more worthless
daily and which is forced to strain
it's efforts to the utmost If it is to ex-
list al all.
Therefore, %I-repeat that the new
treaty is capable of becoming a pow
erful instrument for the good or evil
of the world, according to the man
ner in which American people and
their government decide.
We shall do everything possible to
fulfill the obligations we have un-
dertaken. 1t is a fact, however, that
the treaty seem to impose only
rights upon the United States n
no obligations. This should blind no
one to the fact that the United
States is burdened with the greatest
obligation of all-that of a fair and
lust Interpretation and execution.

Learn One New Thing Every Day
BULLETINS BY THE
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY

1.-THE other hotels charged rates
Of from Sc to $12 for accommoda-
tons far from as good as n gets
at from SO to Sc in New York. The
result was that many people who
came to spend a week or ten days
moved III their return dates consid-
erably, and the tourist population
changed on the average every four
days.
According to figures furnished
the writer by the Cuban Department
of Agriculture, much land produces
twenty-five bags of sugar to the
acre. This, at fifteen cents a pound,
brings a gross return of more than
$1,000 an acre.
"These conditions brought about
the unprecedented boom in sugar
lands. One sugar estate, which was
bought some three years 6 for
$4,000, 900, sold last January for
$500. 900. Another, which was
valued at about $4,000, 900 a few
years ago, changed hands at $751;
OO0, 1000"

CUBA's ECONOMIC REACTION

Economic conditions in Cuba at
present, compelling measures such
as President Menocals moratorium
decree, are in sharp contrast 70
those described in the following
communication to the National Geo.
graphic Society by William Joseph
Showalter who visited the island
during the crest of its prosperity
ave
Almost every person who visits
Cuba on pleasure bent lands in
nor than twenty miles away from
that city's central park.
IF New York, Chicago. Ffriladel-
phia, Boston and Washington were
consolidated, the resulting metro
polls would bear about the same re-
lation to the United States that
Havana bears to Cuba. The capital
city is the home of more people
than r embraced in the combined
populations of all the other cities
and towns of the Republic that have
more than 1000 inhabitants. It's
closest rival is Santiago, but hat city
has only one-tenth as many people.
las half the country's urban pop
ulation is conferred in Havana, SO
also is half of its shipping. The city
normally handles a greater foreign
tonnage than any other port in the
Western Hemisphere except New
York.
Most of Cuba's wealthy families
have Havana homes. During the
past -four years the net profits of
the sugar business have probably
exceeded the gross returns of any
other four-year period in the history
Of the island.
1.-THE result is that perhaps no
other city in the whole world has
proportionately as large a wealthy
population as Havana.
"Out of these conditions grew a
situation where dollars were ever
cheaper than they are now in the
United States. Tens of thousands of
acres OF land were laid out in resi-
dence sites, and the Vedado district,
the Riverside Drive and the Sheri-
dan Road of Havana, was extended
until it reached farther from the
Prado than Riverside Drive from
New York's City Hall Square or
Sheridan Road from Chicago's Loop.
There are no advertising signs
on these lots. But as one motors
along one sees nesting close to the
ground inconspicuous little boards,
about a foot long, and half a foot
wide. bearing the legend in Spanish
Sold to Mr.. So and So.' And Mr..
So and So is usually some Cuban
who made a fortune out of sugar
down in the provinces and came up
to the capital for the social season.
If not that, he is probably an Amer
lean WIN likes to be reasonably near
the country clubs, and prefers to
live where the cocktail has not lost
its legal status. The price of the
lots was from n to three dollars
a square foot, or from $4,000 to
$4,000 per acre.
eff high prices hit those to whom
Havana is home, it was, of course,
natural that they should strike the
transient even more forcibly. Hotels
everywhere are always the advance
guard in the price climb, and those
in Cuba have been nc exception.
There is only one hotel in Havana
that gives anything like the Ameri-
can standard of service, and it's rates
during the past season were $25 a
day for an outside room with bath,
without meals. 1t purposed to cater
only to those to whom prices are no
object; but hat sort of patronage
failed to develop in sufficient volume
to maintain a full house.

VALUE OF A SMILE
BY DIR. w. Z. BARTON

it is real. Many a waiter loses a tip
because he serves the food as II ne
were at enmity with all flesh; n
many another one has built up a
substantial bank account on the
basis of his ability to show a pleas
ant disposition.
Only last week I went to a res
+arrant where the waitress, for no
cause known to me, acted as II she
hated all humanity. That did moi
increase her tip; and on the next
day. when I found myself in the
same locality at lunch time, I went
to another restaurant.
But it is to ones wi self that one
renders the greatest damage by I'M
civil looks. The man or woman VINO
can no longer smile has killed JOY
out of his W life.
1t is not the giggle nor the simper
that is wanted, nor yet tine iouu
laugh that bespeaks h vacant
mind" but the cheerful smile tnat
grows out of a sunny disposition.

A jury in Kansas City awarded a
boy $4,000 damages for the loss of
the ability to smile. The boy climb
ed a tree, and there he encountered
a live wire imperfectly insulated. 1t
came in contact with his cheek, in
flicting a painful burn which was
not healed for several weeks. 1t left
a permanent injury.
The nerve or muscles or both that
governed the power of smiling were
destroyed, so that his attempt to
smile vas a tragic ~caricature. When
the boy was called to the witness
stand and his attorney directed him
to face the jury and smile, the ver-
dict was assured.
Twenty thousand dollars was little
enough to receive as compensation
for the loss of the power to smile.
Some men have lost that power
through other than electrical causes,
and it has damaged them more
than that amount.
