Plans are under way for an appro-
pirate celebration of the Tooth anni-
versary of the cession of Florida to the
United States by the Spanish govern
ment. The actual change of flags
took place on the morning of July II.
although ii was known for several
weeks in advance that the province
was to be coded. In fact, Mrs. jackson,
wife of General Jackson, had taken up
her abode in the city some days before
the nth.
on that morning, General Jackson,
with a company of the Fourth artil-
lery and a battalion of the Fourth in
fantry. marched into the city. In the
meantime the Spanish regiment of
Tarragonna had paraded on the plaza
in front of Government house.
Colonel Callava was in Government
house waiting for General Jackson, to
deliver to the American commander
the official documents. As soon as
these formalities were contaminated
the Spanish sentry outside the door
was replaced by an American.
Colonel Callava and General jack
son then appeared and were saluted
by both bodies Of troops. At the same
time the Spanish flag was lowered
and the American flag run up. The

Wealth and Gold.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
In answering your editorial Of
Thursday under the above heading,
permit me to first compliment The
Journal on its fair presentation of both
articles; also allow me to point out
that the statement given in my article
that wealth consists of factories, rail-
way and transportation systems, the
formula and people of the countries in
question:" is almost identically borne
out word for word in your article
against my article.
You also state that perhaps I have
not had time to find OUT the condi-
ton of these countries; perhaps not,
but having spent about nine years Of
my third of a century span Of existence
purchasing these countries goods as
a travelling purchasing agent, and
having wandered up and down the
scene of devastation you so vividly de-
scribe as a fighting soldier with the
Canadian corps for over four years,
may perhaps be credited with having.
at least a faint idea of what am talk
ing about.
If the scribe who wrote the answer
to my article will take the trouble to
lay out map of Europe, he will be
surprised to discover that the devas-
tated area on each of the old fronts
comprises but very tiny part of the
whole of Europe. and if he cares to
take a trip over them personally he
will find that the devastated cities
he names are replaced, or being re-
placed, by modern structures far IN
advance of the old He will also dis
cover that his first statement that the
wealth of centuries has been shot
away" is absolutely wrong.

INCREASED RAILROAD EMPLOY.
MENT LIKELY.

1t is expected that the railroads
will promptly enlarge their working
forces now that the new wage rates
become effective. Not only will this
hasten the accomplishment of deferred
repair and maintenance work, but It
will materially reduce the number OF
unemployed railwaymen.
Although railway earnings as a
whole are much below the income con-
plated in the revision of rates last
year, in some cases rates appear to be
unreasonably high, in view of the
changed levels of community prices.
The reduction in wages win undoubt-
eddy strengthen the demand for lowe-
freight rates.

A Marked Victory for
Conservative Leaders.

The announcement that two million
railroad workers in the United States
will bow to the edict OF the United
States railroad labor board and ac-
cept a IL per cent wage cut means that
a strike has been averted which would
have paralyzed the transportation ia
cilities of the country, and that the
conservative leaders have scored a
signal victory over the faction which
refused to accept the decision of an
arbitration board officially recognized
by the railroad unions.
The removal of the possibility Of a
nationwide strike naturally interests
the public moss, because the whole
American public would have been af-
fected by this walkout, and in accept
ing the railroad labor board decision
the union leaders have acted in such
a manner as to call forth general ap-
proval.
The average citizen knows little of
the inside details of railroad finances,
but he does know the purpose of arbi-
tration boards, and when the estab-
lishment of these is acceptable to all
parties concerned, then the average
citizen wants to see its findings re-
ceived as final, and frowns upon re-
ballion
The railroad systems of this country
are demoralized and the heads are
crying that they are losing money as
1T is, while the public is anxious for re-
lief, which does not seem in sight. A
strike would have made the situation
a thousand times worse. Since the
railroads and the unions agreed to the
labor board plan, the public cannot
understand the wisdom or the iustlfi-
cation of flat refusal. and therefore
approves the action of the conserva-
tive leaders.--F1orila metropolis.

Charles NJ. Schwab the other day,
speaking to the graduates of Stevens

of the snobbery which keeps a man
from learning from his interiors the
valuable lessons of their experience.
That was most excellent advice. The

technical expert, are hard workers
They are students with both hand and
brain. Through the years they ac-
quire the things that Mr.. Schwab VAL
ues most highly, essential knowledge.
He frankly and gratefully says: THE
things that have most helped me have
come from suggestions or ideas from
the foremen and subforemen for per-
lection by the educated man Mr..
Schwab distinguishes here between
knowledge and scholarship, but educa-
ton is a relative matter. The sheet
anchor, after all, of the great indus

England and the Dominions.

England and the DominIons.
The question of the REVIVAL of the
Anglo japanese treaty has raised not
only discussion about the relation of
Great Britain and the United States
but another problem which may be of
tremendous portent for England itself.
The question is, if the dominions re-
fuse to be parties to. any treaty be-
that treaty be considered binding upon
them? 1t is a nice question.
For no less than Lloyd George him.
self, at the opening of the British
imperial conference, said that the d.
minions had achieved the status Ct
nations. lie said the British govern
ment would be glad to see Canada send
her own minister to Washington. The
four self-goyerning dominions, Canada,
Australia, New Zealand and the South
African union, are, in effect, separate
nations, owing a certain allegiance to
Great Britain, but yet Independent.
These four, which are in so large
measure the bulwarks of the British
empire as it stands today, are bitterly
opposed to the renewal of the Anglo.
japanese treaty. The Australian house
of representatives. in fact. passed
resolution stating that their represent
tative to the imperial conference
should not be empowered to pass upon
the treaty, but that such treaty should
be submitted to the people of Aus
tralia themselves for ratification.
'In opposition to this, the speaker
NJ the Australian hoISn afafad that
it would not make any difference what
the Australian people did, Great Bril-
tain would have the right, and be
fully capable. of joining such relation
ship with Japan over the Australian
vote. 1t was his opinion that Aus
tralia had no control over the actions
of the home government.
Lloyd Georges speech TO the do
minion premiers would indicate that
he could not agree with this. In his
opinion. the diminions, as separte en-
titles. have power over the home gov
eminent.
At any rate. there stands the aVes
ton. Is the British empire made mp
of group of nations whose represea
tatiyes form the government, or is the
government Of Great Britain power
greater than the sum Of its parts? If

PRESS COMMENT
The Crime Wave.


William B. Joyce, president of the
National Surety company, has COM
piled eleven of what he considers the
principal causes of the crime wave.
Mr.. Joyce explains that he was led to
study the situation on account of the
payment by various surety companies
of $16.00o.O00 burglary and embezzle-
ment insurance within the last year. In
large measure, the dereliction~is traced
to the war and its aftermath. Sum
married.. the eleven causes are about
as follows:
Widespread disrespect for law and
property. due to cynicism and callous-
ness brougt on by the war: greater
opportunity for dishonesty now than
before the war; discomfort as a result
of exaggerated reports of profits made
through the war; war experiences of
criminals tending to make them more
hardened; reaction from high wages
and extravagant living of the war
period; unemployment among those
recently attracted to cities and who re-
fuse to return to their former cornmu-
mites: published reports of enormous
flotations of investment securities with
their implication that some of the peo-
pie do not have their rightful share
of wealth; doctrines of socialism, boil
shevism, etc.; inadequate accounting
methods with their misleading get
rich-quick showings; carelessness in
employing those unworthy to be trust
ed, and the lavish and unseemly dis
play of vaiuables in public places.
This compilation is doubtless pre-
pared largely from the records" and
probably has to do with dishonesty
and ofenses against the rights of
property most generally. An attached
table shows an astonishing growth IN
the total of entertainments within the
past ten years. The breaking down of
restraints as a result of war psychol-
gy probably also accounts for the great
increase of crimes of violence and muir
der.
Mr.. joyce suggests that the remedy
lies in putting the unemployed to work.
With thoughts and energies turned to
wholesome channels, there would be
less time and occasion for mischief

Our Increasing Gold supply.

The influx of gold into the United
States continues. The net balance of
imports in May was s57, 100000, raising
to about 1920, 0000.00o the net gain
through importation through the first
five months OF this year. For eight
consecutive months imports of the
metal have exceeded exports.
Owing to adverse trade balances
with the Orient and South America.
the United States lost gold in 1919 and
the early months of 1920, with the re-
suit that our stock of gold was re-
duced to $2,646. GOO, 900 on May 1, 1920.
This represented a reduction of $475,-
100000 from the stock of the metal
held at its previous maximum three
years earlier. In the subsequent 13
months, however. we have increased
our stock of gold to a record total on
June 1, 1921, Of $3175,000,00o.
The recent accumulation of gold IN
this country through importation is
to some extent reflexion of the in-
adequate provision Of credits for fl
nancing our export trade. In the inter-
est of this trade, every reasonable eff
fort should be made to obviate the me-
cessity for foreign countries to dispose
largely of their gold holdings.
While this inflow OF gold has helped
to improve the reserve position of tie
Federal Reserve banks, 1t represents
on the whole a Withdrawal of the
metal from countries which need to
strengthen their currencies. The eff
feet of this upon exchange rates is not
precisely measurable, but it is certain
that the movement cannot continue at
the present rate without adversely at
fecting exchanges. So fer as this coun
try is concerned, there is probably
more cause for apprehension on this
score, in view of the possible further
impediments to our export trade. than
for fear of an initiation Of our currency
and prices in consequence of the accu-I
mulating gold supply.
