to do. but that it should be a
place with which and through
which business men can discuss
their problems and have a COM
mon voice, so to speak.

The Department Of Commerce Is
In complete sympathy with the
view that the government should
not go into business. There is no
element Of government control or
OF government regulation in Secre-
tary Hoover. concept of the de-
partment's duty; rather, that it
should be a central point to which
business men can bring their prob
lens. discuss them together and
find a way out.
For example, take the railroad
problem. Secretary Hoover be-.
lieves that business men should
not be asking legislation which
would put the railroads out of
business. and, conversely, that the
railroads should not be asking
legislation that will make it pro-
hibitive for the business men to
ship their goods. He feels that
they should get together before
either side asks for legislation and
have a common understanding OF
their interdependence, and that the
big interests Of both are in COM
mon. Then they can get some-
where. To illustrate: A horizontal
freight rate increase would un-
doubtedly put a number of con-
Germs out of business. and then it
would defeat the very purpose for
which 1t was asked and granted
money-because it would make 1t
impossible for such enterprises to
continue shipping. In the same
way. the business men must realize
that to continue in operation the
railroads must have adequate in

ing would mean that whenever
constructive legislation came up.
such as the refunding bill. it
should have the shippers behind it
as we'll as the railroads. as part Of
a common policy.

The Department Of Commerce. in
setting itself up as a place to
which American business men can
bring their problems, has no idea
of superauthority. but is proceed
ing on the basis of finding out
what the business men need and
want, instead of taking out Of
Hoover's own mind what he thinks
they should have.
That is the first step in making
over the Department of Commerce
"a new philosophy. 1t is chang
ing the business mans understand
ing Of the character of the depart
ment. The psychology Of this is
already having a good effect. So
Secretary Hoover's first move was
to call to Washington representa-
tive business men, and in calling
them he tried to get away from
those who stood up as the most
important in their respective in
dustries on account of individual
achievement. He wanted to get
those who would best represent the
entire industry. and so he asked
the trade associations to select the
men as the associations represent
atives.
To illustrate the thought here:
Mr.. Hoover has frequently spoken
Of the individual American busi-
ness man as the most efficient in
the world. but collectively they
are not efficient. The collective
efficiency of the group is lower
than Of individuals in the group.
Mr.. Hoover is seeking to raise the
collective efficiency. and this can't
be done. he says, by telling them
what to do, but by letting them
do things themselves. The only
way he sees of doing that is

treaty will grow steadily in popular
opinion the while the people are
studying 1t and discussing it in their
homely forums and community gath
erings.
1t Is easy to imagine how the pot Of
public discussion is beginning to boil
now, in school house, country store and
village hall throughout the land as the
eager debaters begin to dissect and
analyze the treaty.
The Versailles treaty was discussed
in the Senate long before the country
began to handle it, and the pros and
cons took their cue from Senate de-
bates.
Now, it may fall, out that the Senate
will get hint from the country be-
fore it begins debating. And never
believe for a moment that senator's
are Indifferent to suggestions from
back home; that is to say. the rank
and file of senators. Here and there
q hardy individual is found who pro-
fesses courage of that adamant quail
ity that is impervious to pressure
from his constituents. Such senators
are more envied than emulated, how
ever; admired for their bravery. but
left to enjoy it in solitary grandeur
alone most often.

President Harding does not con-
template giving the four-party treaty
to the Senate with any spectacular
circumstances Of presentation in per-
son. He expects, it is understood. to
send it in with formal message OF
transmission, believing that senators
already know all that can be said
about the effect of the treaty and
probably have their minds about made
upTfn favor of or in opposition to it,
although some who now are against
it may find cause after. further refiec-
ton to change their stand and favor

The negotiation Of the treaty was
attended with simplicity-just the

economic eenference7 Such a
conference is being strongly
urged in Europe. The success of
the Washington arms conference

the belief that the Harding doctrine

AS the call for the arms conference
came from the United States. the ma
ton to suffer least from continued
excessive expenditures for sea-hght-
ing machines, it is being urged that
call for world economic confer

United States, as the nation to suffer

loss of business. The United States is

in an effort to help the world econom-
ically, thereby helping itself.
The basis of this school of thought
is that the United States is powerful
enough to set the pace and to check
the decline Of European credit by
means of some form Of International
credit. Those who indorse this view
of the situation assume that Europe

may put itself In shape to bear Its
share Of the burden?
The average citizen has almost for
gotten that one International eco
nomic conference has been held al
ready since the world war, although
only fourteen months have elapsed
since it met and concluded its busi-
ness. At the Brussels international
conference of September and October,
1890, twenty-feur states were repre-
sented and twelve others had lob

Hungary, Bulgaria and all the newly
made near" nations had representa-
tives. The United States had an un-
Official ebserver-unefflcial because
the conference was held under the
auspices Of the league Of nations, and
the United States does not officially
recognise that organization.
This conference Of 1920 was q
graphic picture Of the economic world
at that time. Speakers dwelt elo-
quently and pleadingly on the "ab-
normal obstacles which are hindsring
business today" and urged that gov
ernmsnts strengthen the weak links
in the chain Of normal commercial
transactions" Tho conclusion favored
squsl,sed budgets. reduction Of arma-
ment, elimination Of subsidies, limi-

Of external debts and elimination of

for federal aid to road construction as you or any other man can be, ana the matter has not been delayed minute on my account. The conferees have already agreed to the bill with the exception of the appropriation. The senate, as you know, adopted my bin providing for an appropria- tion of $75, 100000 for this year. Un-- der the rules of the house conferees could not agree to the appropriation for the house bill carried none and were therefore obliged to go back to the house for instruction. A great majority of the house want the ap- propriation, i believe, but the leaders of that body desire that we should only make an authorization for an appropriation of S75,0O0,000 and then later rely upon the two committed for appropriations of the two houses to report and pass upon the amount of money thHt is needed. I am op- posed to tkis for I cah see that it might mean defeat of any appropria- tion this year. Ire parliamentary situation in the senate is such that if an attempt were made to bring the matter up now it would be op- posed and would be obliged to give way to the tax and tariff bills. am hopeful that tLe house wwill con- sent to this appropriation.

CHILD IS RUN OVER
 OM RAILROAD TRACK

Rev. J. F. Jenkins of the Episcopal church, who recently returned from a visit through the southern part of the state, was involved in an auto mobile accident between Clifton and Lordsburg that made his heart stand still for a moment
 He was accompanying a railroad official from Clifton to Lordsburg in an automobile with wheels adjusted tc the railway tracks. Az they were running out of Clifton, rounding a curve they saw in front of them a child playing between the rails. Within the short distance it was i'm possible to bring the machine to stop, so that it passed over the child.
 Both the official and MT. Jenkins believe that it's life had been crushed out, and before the motor was brought to a staudstill MT. Jenkins climbed over the rear of the car and fell be- tween the ties, injuring himself se- verely.
 The child was picked up and its scalp was found to be lacerated. It was bleeding profusely and it was feared that it had been seriously in iured. but it turned out that except for.the lacerations the little one was not hurt.

Declaring that in his opinion society would not be benefited by the return to New Jersey of Robert Bruce, Governor Thomas F.. Camp bell yesterday declined to issue the warrant for the extradition of the 1S-year-old boy who served in the navy.
 A further consideration was the fact that the whereabouts of young Bruce is unknown, as the boy disap- peared on Saturday after being dis charged by the superior court on writ of habeas corpus. The Ocean county authorities here on tEe case were not in the court room when young Bruce was discharged.
