1t was agreed that the common people Of each
nation represented in the conference had no desire
to encroach upon the rights possessions of the
other nations.
The delegates united in expressing the opinion
that what they wanted was to go on living in peace
full productive prosperity. free from the dread and
suspicion which naval competition with its stagger
ing cost at time when the people of the world
are already groanng under their burdeps, will lead
to total bankruptcy revolt Of the victims
against their leaders.

When Virginian Meets Vir'
ginian, Where Standeth
The Ku Klux Khan.
he Editor, The Washington Herald

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
"A virginian" and Another Vir-
ginian," like the X. X. X, are hood
ed. Probably they are members Of
the khan. Otherwise they would
come out boldly and give the public
their names.
Another virginian" has his opin-
ion of anyone Directing to that
grand order, and this would extend
to the boycotting of all publishers
of such rot as he in his opinion
considers the articles on the
X. X. X.
Now, as a voter in Virginia, has
not another Virginian" delegated
his power to make laws to a body
of men whose duty it is to dispense
them? If he claims that the laws
are not enforced, does IL give him
or any body of men not constitu-
tionally elected the legal right to
take the law into their own hands,
and in doing so violate the power
delegated and also the law which
they themselves have sworn to pro-
tect?
Or again, IL the men whom they
constitutionally elected fail to carry
ouN lnC law NioioeoiS, nave
they not the power. in due course,
to replace them with others who
will?
What right. human or divine. has
any unconstitutional or illegal or
ganization to wrest the power from
recognized government, to commit
acts of violence in the name of law
and order-and Christianity?
This writer may not be fair-mind-
ed. according to Another Virgin
IAN" but he wishes, as a former
Virginian, to state that he prefers
to be guided by Christian ethics
and sound logic rather than be
prejudice and passion.
The X. X. K. organization has no
place in this country IL we are
what we profess to be-Christian.

LASKER FEARS FOR

borders" Chairman Albert D. Las
ker. of the Shipping Board. warns.
obviously we cannot gain trade
on the seas without displacing the
existing trade enjoyed by foreign
ships" Lasker says. And these
foreigners are ever at work, ST.
lently but surely in their own ma
tional interest. for which we can
not blame them, to undermine pos
sibility of an American merchant
marine.
There are those who for for
myriad reasons do not wish
the status quo changed. I'm
fortunately there are possibly
American owners who, feeling Sc
cure in conditions as they exist and
which have Injured and can inure to
the benefit only of a few, of whom
they, form a part, selfishly cannot
see unbiasedly a greater American
merchant marine and are loath to
bring about any greatly changed
conditions.
when the tonnage of vessels
now building throughout the world
Is completed there will be an in

third are fair, and the balance, for
all practical purposes, are total
loss save for what salvage can be
got out of them. Most of them are
too uneconomical for ocean car
rage to meet the competition Of
peace time trade.
The best estimate available to-
day shows that in tons of ocean
freight perhaps so per cent as much
Is moving as in 1913.
Because of the excess tonnage,
values of bottoms have so dropped
that time charters are one-eighth
OF the going rates in the third
quarter Of 1919. A 10000 ton
steamer can be had under charter
hire for a little over $1,000. per
month as against 100000 when
charter was at its height. In the
face OF these low rates the Ameri-
can owner finds himself confronted
by the keenest of foreign competi-
tion, with the handicaps of higher
wages, expensive victualing and
severe legislative requirements.
Who will question that American
living standards should be main
tanned on the seas as on the land?
But the difference between Aneri-
can and foreign standards must
somehow be met"

The Herald is heartily in favor Of As many mu-

housing of the cars of residents who otherwise must
park. This would not interfere with private gar
ages; it would relieve the serious parking situation;
would help clear the streets from traffic blockade;

seriously, if not fatally hurt,
about 3 O'Clock Wednesday after

hold the log from rolling and
stricking his mule, he was trip

great force against the coupling,
striking it with the back of his
head at the base of the skull.
He was carried to the home of
his brother, H, ]. Lynch, where
