New-York tribune., 1921-06-14

The death Of DR.. Luis M. Drago,
formerly Argentine Minister of For
eign Affairs, attracts renewed atten-
tion to the doctrine" of international
law which bears his name.
This doctrine, in more general
form, was originally enunciated by
Dr. Carlos Calvo, of Argentina, dis
tinguished international jurist. He
propounded the principle, as worthy
of universal acceptance, that state
had no right to take up, even as a mat
ter of diplomatic action, the pecuniary
claims of its citizens or subjects
against another state.
P0ZnlersfOn's Rule
This was contrary to the then gen.
orally recognized rule, which was, as
defined by Lord Palmerston in 1848,
that while state was under no OBJ
legation to support the pecuniary
claims Of it's citizens because they
were assumed to enter into foreign
dealings voluntarily and intelligently,
and it was their own fault if they in
vested their money in a state whose
courts they were unwilling to trust,
nevertheless a state always had the
right TO act in any case if convinced
that justice was denied.
Conflict between Lord Palmerston's S
rule and DR.. Calvo's was precipitated
in connection with a case submitted to
the international Tribunal at The
Hague. The issue was whether Great
Britain, Italy and Germany, by their
actual intervention in Venezuela in
behalf Of their citizens claims, had
acquired any legal rights which the
mountaineering powers did not also
possess. In this the United States was
much interested, because it was one
Of the mountaineering claimants and
because the intervention of the three
powers had been made with its formal
! assent. The Hague Tribunal decided
in favor of the three powers--that by
their intervention they had become
preferred creditors.
Now, this decision of the court did
not refer directly to the right of in
tervention for the satisfaction OF
claims, which was not at issue. But it
implied the existence and the validity
of that right, since it confirmed the
results of it's exercise

According to The Americans Paris
correspondent, the short skirt is not
doomed, and nothing below the knee

What is meant, of course, is that no

worn. Above the knee, presumably,
like in this country, there is the skirt.

DR.. Drago's Protest

AS protest against this decision
and its implications DR.. Drago, on De-
cember 90, 1902, announced his doc
trlne, or more accurately his version
OF the Calvo doctrine. His protest was
perhaps most of all against the course
of the United States in giving the
three European powers, ct their ex-
plicit request, permission to intervene
with force provided they did not violate
the Monroe Doctrine by acquiring ter
ritory or depressing or altering the
Venezuelan system OF government. He
narrowed the Calvo doctrine so as not
to forbid the making of diplomatic rep
resentations, but fatty denied the
use of military or naval force for the
collection OF pecuniary claims.
That was the Drago doctrine. Though
1T failed to secure international ac-
ceptance or to effect any revision OF
the judgment of the Hague tribunal,
it produced profound impression
particularly in the United States
where already there was some regret
for the permission which had been
given to the European powers 20 EN-
ploy force against Venezuela, with the
result that few years later the United
States became little less than a cham
pion of the Calvo-Drago doctrine.

Figures do not lie but you can
make figures lie" is an old saying.
The department of agriculture could
have no object in giving out mislead-
ing figures. therefore we must accept
as true the departments statement
that fifty-eight million bushels of
sweet potatoes rotted in the United
States last year out of a total crop
Of one hundred and five million bush
els or more than one-half of all the
sweet potatoes the nation raised. The
loss was due to storing potatoes in
pits. banks and trenches. In North
Carolina 80 per cent of the potatoes
stored in banks and pits were lost
while there was a loss OF only 3 ga
per cent of potatoes kept in curing
houses. South Carolina has about $50
curing houses and these curing houses
should be kept full of potatoes
throughout the season. 1t is folly to
plant potatoes and then let them rot
in banks and pits.

The government is willing to give
Marion and Florence the right to
bridge Pee Dee at Mars Bluff Ferry,
but it appears that congress is op-
posed to letting them build a toll
bridge. This means the death of the
bridge project over Big Pee Dee riv-
er Marion and Florence cannot af-
ford to issue bonds and build a
bridge unless there is some revenue
in the way of tolls. Dillon has fairi!
convenient bridge facilities at Che
raw. but bridge lower down would
be still more convenient. Some time
back Marlboro and Darlington ,-ere
interested in proposition to bridge
Big Pee Dee at point some distance
this side of Cashway Ferry, but the
idea was abandoned when the Dillon
Marion-Florence bridge project was
started. If all hope of getting a bridge
at or near the A. G. L. railroad bridge
Is gone it might be good idea to get
in touch with Marlboro and Darling
ton and revive the Cashway Ferry
project. Dillon wants a bridge and is
not very particular as to it's location.
IT is willing to do it's part and will
just as gladly join hands with Mari
boro and Darlington and bridge Big
Pee Dee at or near Cashway Ferry.
II is only a short distance from Oar
lington to Florence, and according to
the latest map of South Carolina the
distance from Dillon to Florence via
CaShWay Ferry and Mars Rluff ia
about the same. In his article pub
l;shed elsewhere in this issue DR..
Stackhouse, who has kept in close
touch with the situation, thinks the
Mars Bluff project has blown up, and
IL this is true now is the time for Dill
lon to get in touch with Marlboro and
Darlington.

High Property Tax and Boil Weevil
Conditions.

Another thing which makes tax re-
lief or reform necessary is the advent
OF the boil weeyil in South Carolina.
During normal or what we term flush
times. taxes were unreasonably high
and what will they be considered when
the boil weevil has eaten up from
fifty TO seventy five percent of the
states principal money crop. hold
no brief for any particular class of
taxpayers but we must all realize that
the safe OIL South Carolina is primar-
lily an agricultural state: thai a very
great percen; of her people ar en-
gagged IN farming. i1at the industries
OF the at" are dependent upon the
farm and further that the financial in
terest OF all of her citizens is directly
concerned and dependent upon agIi-
culture. Ii can clearly be seen there
fore that one of the first essentials
OF a safe and sound tax system is that
1t tend to build up and nor to destroy
the basic industry of agriculture
around which everything hinges.
While the property of the farmer is
visible and easily cotton on the tax
books, the vast amount of intangible
property is escaping almost in en-,
tirety all taxation
The following plan has been sus.
gested:
That all property must be placed on
the tax books.
The imposition of a tax of at least
one cent per gallon on all gasoline
sold in the state.
The enactment of . moderate in
heritance tax law.
The devising of methods b. which
money can be secured from those
who enjoy all the advantages and
privileges of government and yet who
own no property and therefore pay
~ taxes.

instruments. the tax being moderate

coming from real estate. Land can

Nothing is to be gained by losing
our heads over the threatened rail-
road strike. There is q bare possibil-
ity that an agreement will be reach
ed before October 30th, but thel
chances are hundred to one against
a settlement. The disagreements bel
tween the railroads and their en-
ployees have kept the world in a
state Of expectancy for many years,
and if the showdown is to come, the
sooner it comes the better. In the fall
OF 1919 the industrial and banking
world was Jared to it's foundations
by threatened strike which failed
to materialize. The threat had its eff
feet, however, and the world was
thrown out of joint for several
months. The public is getting tired Of
this kind of business. Sensible men
give South America wide berth be-
cause Of it's periodical revolutions.
Down there government is likely to
change hands overnight. 1t is almost
as bad in the United States. Capital
is a timid creature even when things
are running smoothly, and capital is
not likely to come out of it's hiding
place until the railroads and their
employees come to an agreement of
some kind which will give assurance
that the nations transportation sys
tenn is not likely to be destroyed over
night. The threatened strike, howev-
er, is not to be taken lightly. If it
materializes there will be suffering
in the country before it is over. In
the large cities like New York, Phila-
delphia and Chicago there is not food
enough to last two weeks, and We
shudder when we think of the fate
that is bound to overtake helpless
women and children. The strikers will
lose in the end. They will lose because
men will close their offices IL 1t be-
comes necessary to save the nation
from starvation and offer their SER
ices to the railroads free. In the
meantime the business Of the nation
