Plant Black Walnut.

The black walnut has long been
considered one of our finest trees.
Furniture and staircases and the
trim of many of our finest Colonial
residences were fashioned from it..
With the coming of war the wood took
on new value. as 1t was found to be
most desirable for airplane propellers
and gunstocks, while the carbon from
the nutshells was employed in the
making of gas masks. The appeal for
the wood was constant, and, though
II cost many pang, the trees were
given by their owners with the same
spirit which characterized their other
sacrifices.
The supply of black walnut In the
United States has as result been
sadly depleted. Suggestion Is now
made by the Department OF Agricul-
ture that the planting Of young black
walnut trees should be encouraged
everywhere It is urged that this tree
played the most essential part Of all
our timber species in winning the war.
BY encouraging such campaign n
future supply of this splendid timber
would be rendered available.
The tree justifies its cultivation on
It's own account, and Its wood Is well
nigh essential for small arms, sport
Ing rifles and shotguns.

Our Initial Game Report.

For the ffvst time In the history of
game protection New York State has
been able TO estimate the value OF H..
annual game dividend. 1t will be
recalled by students Of wild life, gun
ners, hunters, trappers and sports
men generally that In 1919 persons
who took out hunting licenses in New
York State were for the first time
required to report the game killed
under their licenses for the preceding
year, this report being made on the
back of the stub of the license is
sued in 1919.
The stubs are all In, the data on
them have been tabulated, two statis-
tical clerks of the Conservation Com
mission giving their entire time for
nine weeks to classifying the informa-
tion so that 1t may be of service and
value to the official protectors of the
States wild life. The totals are not
by any means complete for various
reasons. Hunters had no advance In.
formation that such reports would bc
required, and naturally many of
them were not prepared to make ac-
curate returns. Some town clerks dis.
regarded the regulations OF the Con-
servation Commission. In addition
there were no reports from farmers,
who hunt and trap on their own land
without licenses, or from minors un-
der sixteen years old, who may trap
fur bearing animals without license.
In the course Of the open season these
boys take considerable amount of
fur. But the figures obtained, despite
these omissions, are valuable.
The returns show that 20S.048 H.
censed hunters took 1,526960 birds
and game animals In the year. an nv
erage OF seven birds or animals for
ench hunter. Cottontail rabbits nat

Continuation Schools.
1t Is Denied Night Schools Offer
Workers the Same Chance.

To THE New YORK HERALD: A mat
ter which has not received the public
attention II deserves is the threatened
repeal OF the continuation school law.
This law. which has been In effect
only since September, 1920, gives TO
workers the advantages OF an educa-
ton which are In many cases denied
them otherwise. Forced to leave school
at the age OF IA or Is. these pupils must
enter into competition with the more
fortunate boys or girls whose parents
were sufficiently supplied with this
worlds goods TO give their children an
adequate education.
These schools are the means OF Amer
icanizing many young people. They
teach the value of hygiene. They teach
them civic responsibility and the value
OF good government They provide pre-
vocational training and help the pupil
find his place in the world.
The Board OF Aldermen has passed
a resolution I'm favor of amending the
present law so as 20 permit attendance
Mt night school In lieu OF continuation
school. This night school attendance
has been tried and found to be a fall
ure. After a hard days work most
young workers are too tired TO spend
their evenings In a classroom studying.
Only those OF high ambition succeed in
finishing the term. These facts are a
part of the records OF observations for
the years ie13-1919. in which latter
year the night school Jaw was repealed.
Assemblyman Hutchinson OF Fulton
county, the sponsor for the repeal OF
the continuation school law. pleads that
II Is an economy measure, pure and
simple" The education OF the young
worker is the wrong place TO start an
economy campaign. H II. vENABLE.

Is It Wise?

Is the decision to terminate abruptly
any further negotiations with Ger
many for a peaceful settlement of the
indemnity question and Immediately
to throw an allied army Of compul-
sion into Germany a wise one?
THE NEW York HERALD cannot
bring itself to believe 1t is a wise
decision so long as the Allies have re
course to arbitration or other means
Of reaching the amount Germany can
pay and should pay. We cannot be-
lieve 1t wise because Of Its bearing on
the future peace of the world.

Wheat Through the Canal.

The cable despatch from THE New
York HERALD's London Bureau on
Sunday telling of the arrival in Eng
land of the first steamship to come
from Vancouver by way of the Pana-
ma Canal with cargo of Canadian
wheat recorded an event both inter
esting and important.
The journey from Vancouver, which
is an open port all the year round,
was made with a view to demonstrate
ing that grain grown in the north
western provinces of the Dominion Of
Canada could be sent abroad when
the St Lawrence route was frozen,
and the experiment was so successful
in every respect that the general
agent for British Columbia In Europe
says this cargo is only the forerunner
Of many which will embrace other
Canadian products than grain. 1t
would appear that no attempt was
made TO establish a record for time,
as stops were made at San Francisco
and San Pedro on the Pacific, and
that the Buenos Ayres, the vessel
which carried the 5000 tons Of
wheat, also put in at New York be-
fore crossing the Atlantic.
1t Is understood that In subsequent
shipments the vessels will proceed d.
rectly from the Canal, and there is in
terest TO see what the future holds In
tho saving Of time The bulk Of the
wheat produced in Canada is grown IN
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
which are known as the prairie prov
inces, and while trains of equal pro-
portions cannot be hauled over the
Rockies to Vancouver there should be
an economic advantage In the fact
that crops can be kept In motion the
year round instead of during the rush
period following the harvest and In
the spring when the stores which have
accumulated at the elevators and
warehouses after the close of naviga-
tion are rushed forward.
The handling Of this northwestern
grain crop has furnished employment
for most Of the fleet on the Great
Lakes and its possible diversion would
be a severe blow to the traffic on the
waterways. The port of Montreal!
would suffer most Of all, though guam
titles OF grain find their way over
seas from st. Johns ana other east
ern Canadian points. Mctftreal has
long been termed the gateway to the
Dominion Of Canada, but under al
tered conditions Vancouver might be
considered a rival.
There il consolation for this coun-
try In the fact that increased tonnage
through the Canal means additional
revenue for the United States. Then
too there is the chance that the situ-
alton would help to stabilize freight
rates and improve trade In general.

From a Railroad Man.
He Defends Passes and Has Solu-
ton Of Labor Troubles.

To THE New Yonx HERALD: As 20
the travelling done on passes and the
other complaints now being made against
railroad employees, let mc say thai you
flnd the good. bad and Indifferent among
railroad employees, just the samo as
among human beings.in other walks of

some employees abusing their pass privi-

No League Over Panama.

| Inc prompt, Vigorous anu eleStiNe
squelchng of the Central American
war by this Government was more
than our customary intervention In
such Latin American clashes when
they concern the obligations and well
4 fare of the United States. Coming
within few hours of President HAIR
DrNG's inaugural declaration that in
New World affairs and Old World
affairs this country would follow its
time honored path it was plain notice
to Europe that in this strife between
Panama and Costa Rica the League
of Nations would not function and
the United States would function.
The very first provision of the
treaty between the United States and
Panama for the construction of the
Panama Canal reads as follows.
"ARTIcrE l.
'The United States guarantees
and will maintain the Independence
| OF the Republic OF Panama"
In such pledge, with no ifs and
whereases discoverable in its brief
compass, the United States Govern
ment's responsibilities are unre-
stricted and its obligations are bound
less. We could not permit the Inn
pairment of that independence,
which means sovereignty, by one jot
or title. We could not permit Ii by
the belligerent act of Costa Rica. we
could not permit it by the judicial or
mediatory act of League of Nations.
Wherefore we could not permit the
imperilment of that independence and
sovereignty even to begin. We could
not permit the Republic of Panama
itself to set out upon course of bel
| ligerency that ultimately might throw
the guaranteed republic upon the
mercy Of an enemy or invite the inter-
| ference of some other nation or some
other authority. real or only chlmer-
ical.
But IL the very first article of our
contract with Panama did not commit
us, as it does. unqualifiedly to main.
tain the independence and sover-
eighty of that country, our Monroe
Doctrine, now reaffirmed by Mr..
HARDINa with quick action, put that
duty upon his Administration, and he
performed 1t in n manner to give
clear and ringing confirmation OF his
inaugural address, which, repudiating
any form of permanent entanglement
In the Old World, ipso facto recon-
mitted this nation to Its traditional
policy and practice in the New World.
To what extent League interfer-
ence in the Central American situa-
ton had gone or aimed to go may
1 be question. When Secretary OF
State HUGHES acted our Government
had not been officially advised that
Panama and Costa Rica hadDbeen
reminded by the League that as mem
bers of that organization they should
have recourse to its machinery for
a settlement OF their differences. But
Paris dispatches had declared, the
League was trying to function in the
matter. Nobody had denied the re-
ports. In any event, on the chance
that such things were happening. or
might happen, that was the time for
Mr.. HARDING's new Administration
to act. and 1t acted without moment
of hesitation.
Not in twelve years has the Ex-
ecutive Department Of the United
States Government met an issue so
squarely and quickly, with so certain
purpose and so swift success.
Nobody doubts now where Presl-
dent HARDING stands on the Monroe
Doctrine Nobody doubts where Pres
ident HARDING stands on the League
Of Nations.
