Her wisdom in protecting litter of little bull
dogs and mongrels, is to be seen in every proviso
of the mandate regulations recently published.
These are nominally product Of the League
Council. But in every line is to be seen British
policy as to outlying possessions She is the great
coonizer and has not failed to learn by experience
Her policy is based upon regarding all people,

development is by slow progression along racial
and natural lines. She never flies in the face OF
Providence by demanding racial changes, or that
any people shall do become the impossible.
So in these mandate regulations are found only

tary servitude, liquor narcotic traffic, or trading
in arms There is to be only native police force,
but military establishment. All other trading is

Helping the Children.

made for children The home is fashioned, planned
and furnished for adults 1t is all for adult con-
vcnicnce enjoyment, for adult pride satisfaction
and living. Only in the woods or fields far away

Mime. Curie Radium Fund.

| T is, estimated that over $4,000 women in the
L United States died of cancer in 1920. The only
substance known to science, through which it is be-
lieved cure of this most fatal disease may be
found, is radium. The person in the world who
knows the most of the properties of radium is the
woman who discovered it, Nine. Marie Curie of
Paris, the worlds foremost woman scientist
Nine Curie has not much a grain of this
marvellous substance with which to continue her re-
search. But she is coming to the United States in
May and the women of this country have decided to
signalze their welcome to her by the gift of gram
of radum at cost of 100000. This will be the
finest possible recognition Of the high honor Nine

to this city. DR.. Barker spoke to three audiences
yesterday and he brought more than message.
He brought compelling call to the obligations
of parentage and the obligation of youth to
adult years.
DR.. Barker is one of the best, If not the fore
most student of the psychology and the health
requirements of the young. He arouses to clean
living and clean thinking. He devotes much of his
time bringing to parents more vivid realization
of their right relations to their children and to the
young right value Of their sex variance
In bringing him here the Rotarians show that
while business organization of business men, they
have the broader view of their relations to the well

SAYS FARM FIGURES MIsLEAD.
To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Two statements have appeared in
the newspapers recently which need
further attention. One of these
appeared in The wash
ington Herald and other papers. un-
der a Chicago date line, and pur-
ported to quote figures compiled
from the statements issued by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. showing the great increase
in the purchasing power Of the far
mers of the United States for 1890
over previous years and prewar
years.
1t is needless to say that the fir-
ures coming from this authority
were correctly quoted and the most
which are available, but
the differences which were drawn by
the writer of the comment which
appeared in connection Herewith do
not fall in this same category.
II is a common error of persons
who quote and comment on arrf-
cultural figures to assume that the
total value of. the crops purchased
by farmers represents income. and
purchasing power. This a
just as far from the truth as that
the total sales of merchant rep-
resent his income or purchasing
power.
1t is true that the volume Of
the products of the United States
In 1929 was large and thar their
total value, even at the greater
reduced prices OF 1890, was also
large, but this other fact was
not pointed out that the cost
OF the production of these crops
was the largest oHrecord. and that
this cost of production was equal

mer's cases in 1920 there was no
profit. 1t is too bad to quote figures
in so misleading a manner.
The other item is found in ex-
tracts Of statement made by
Chairman Good OF the House Com
mittee on Appropriations and circu-
lated by the United States Chamber
OF Commerce, apparently as propa-
ganda for the repeal Of the excess
profts tax and the material re-
duction of the Federal income
taxes. Chairman Goods statement
is a very coInmendsble discussion
of the suggestion that the floating
indebtedness should be refunded
and that the government expenses
should be reduced. The latter sug-
Eestion meets almost universal ap-
proval. and IL may be that the
funding of floating Indebtedness
now carried at 5% per cent and 6
per cent by bond issues which might
be hoated at a lower per cent is
better public policy than the pay
ment Of this Indebtedness But
when the tables which Mr.. Good
presents are analysed and Il de-
velops that he proposes to reduce
the revenue derived from income
and excess profits taxes. from sp-
proNimately four billion dollars to
one and a half billion dollars. or
more than 60 per cent. without a
reduction in other taxes of any
considerable extent. IL Immediately
becomes evident that the United
States Chamber OF Commerce Is ad-
vocating not only the repeal Of the
excess profits tax. which may not
be Objectionable. but a serious at
tack upon the income tax as the
best means OF paying the war debt.
The principle OF the income tax
and OF heavy surtaxes upon the In
nated incomes OF a small percentage
Of the population best able to pay
Is so thoroughly approved by the
vast majority Of American people
that this suggestion Of the United
States Chamber OF Commerce needs
to be carefully analyzed.
