Outside Looking In

Long, lean years have led the boys
in Tammany Hall to take up their
belts and hope hard for the future.
Even when they elected a mayor in
1917 other sources of patronage fell
into the hands of the opposition.
There were never more than a quar-
ter enough jobs to go round.
This year the organization had a
clean sweep. And for weeks now
hungry but expectant glances have
been fixed on the windows of the
City Hall that look out on the spot
where George Washington stood
many years ago and spoke to an
other hungry and cXpectant but far
more stole army.
The first few weeks Of the second
term arc not going to be weeks Of
unalloyed happiness for the Mayor
re-clect. Charlie Murphy has list
that l. three or four times as long as
the list OF possible appointments
that lies on Mr.. Hylan's desk. The
district leaders are getting insistent.
Good, faithful party workers are de-
manding deputyships and clerkships
and stenographerships and janitor-
ships in no uncertain voices. If
they don't get them there will be
trouble.
Then, too, there is Mr.. Hearst. He
got James Donegan into the City
Clerks offices, but Donegan can't put
the whole independence League on
the pay roll, and mr. Hearst is
growing weary of supporting it. He
is sure to have q few words to say
about jobs before he issues that an
nual invitation to Palm Beach.
Success has it's rewards, but it
also has its anXieties, and respon-
sibility for providing bread and but
ter and creature comforts for men
who have been practically starved
for eight or ten years is not the least
of them.

CONGRESS

fFroas Tie Philadelphia Eoenin9 Ledosr)
Foreign delegates to the Washington
conference have been given an oppor-
tunity to study the workings Of Con-
eress, and II may be that they will
learn something to their advantage.
1t is the privilege of all democracies
to poke fun at their representatives
(and assuredly said Representatives
provide many openings, but, neTerthe-
less, the Congress Of the United
States is an imposing body. 1t stands
as the expression of the Will OF a peo-
pie who have endured at least long
enough to Justify self-government and
to promise Improvement.

Rules for Guidance

AS will be seen from this explana-
ton. there is much to do in Italy. but
action must be guided by the following
rules, in order to avoid clashing with
Italian susceptibility:
1. The Deutsche Italienische vereinig
should be able to continue to bring it's
influence to bear.
Instructions must be given to the
Deutsche ltalienische Nereinjg 50 that
its bulletins shall be inspired to draw
attention to the lack of Italian prod
cuts in Italy, the damage resulting
from such lack and the attempts at
economic penetration on the part Of
foreign countries Such criteria must
also inspire the newspaper campaign
of said organization.
2. The setting up in Milan, too, Of an
information Office at the consulate
general for Germany, with the aim of
following the labor movement IL north
Italy and to report to Germany in re.
laton TO these movements the ncces-
si.y to send German material and
products in order to increase the crisis.
3. As to fuel, it is necessary that
after the refusal Of the italians of
our offer to collaborate in the develop
ment of the Ignite mines and for the
supply of the market with fuel against
facilities Of German property, which
has heen so sequestratcd, our action
shall be turned toward private indi-
vidnals.

in order to follow out in this branch,
too, the method of peaceful destruction
advised by me, the italian government
should take precautions to prevent
the import of coloring matters from
abroad, as otherwise 1t is certain that
the Italian industry which it appears
to me is seeking American capital to
support it, might assume a more solid
position in the peninsula, position
which it would be more difficult to de-
stroy.
| have had a promise from the Ital-
ian cotton spinners of the possibility
Of action on their part against posi-

ment. AS authorized by you, for my
part have promised that any such ac

patch of textile machines from Ger

Then, we have at our DISPOSAL the
Italian wealth of Ignite. The Italians
do not know how to get the most out
of this, and almost treat it as a thing
of little value. On the contrary. it is
matter of 30o,oOo,00o tons, of which.
as | have already reported (sub. II. 17s

are used, while 115,00O,O00 tons per

To the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
Berlin:
In reply to the invitation contained
in the circular Of May 10 to all COM
mercial attaches to report to your
ministry as to the situation and our
activity and our commercial develop
ment abroad, have the honor to report
as follows:
The figures of German commerce in
italy show that after the armistice our
traders were not inactive in recon
quering the Italian market compared
with France, England and the United
States and maintaining our supremacy
but that does not mean that we have
reached the state of your circulars of
August 20, 1920, and August 20, 1920
Fomenfing Discomfort
In order that we may create for
ourselves a favorable political situa-
ton, taking advantage of the malcon-
tent of the Italian people, and espe-
cially of the Nationalist and Nittian
parties against the powers of the En-
tente, a political situati which might
in due course be favorable to us when
Germany should be faced by fresh
complications, it is necessary to
strengthen this discomfort in order to
consolidate our situation through eco
nomic action.
To this end the point at which we
have arrived is only quarter of the
way. We must create such economic
interests and bonds with Italy that
whatever happens Italy will have to
follow our political lead
First of all, it is necessary that
systematic supply of German goods be
sent here, even below cost price to q
considerable extent. Inundating the
Italian market with German goods. we
will not only have place sympathetic
TO Germany, because, as many of our
agents and commercial representatives
have verified, Italian consumers gladly
accept cheap articles, but we will also
create a situation for Italian industry
which will render any continuation of
activity impossible. This without doubt
viii cause such n crisis that, besides
keeping Italy in constant agitation, will
enable US to become the sole masters
of the Deninsular trade, the more so as,
from our information as to French
activity in Italy, it appears that the
French fear the outbreak of q revolu-
ton here which might cause them
similar losses to those suffered in Rus
sia.
The inclosed copy of report by Sir
Capei Cure, British commercial attache.
proves that the British. too, fear the
unstable nature of the social situation
in Italy.
Further, such situation would enable
us to purchase the Italian industries
at a very low rate, which would be the
key of the situation, since it would also
allow us to control trade between Italy
and the Balkans in such way that
Italy would not compete with us for
those markets. (See circular October
30, 1920, regarding ltalo-Jugo-Slav
trcaty.) This, of course. will happen as
soon as Italy is forced to close down.
We have before US a varied field Of

SPANISH SHOE
IMPRINT FOUND
UPON LAVAFLO

Hilo, Island of Hawaii, T H
The discovery of what is described
as the imprint of "a practically per-
feet Spanish shoe, with narrow toe,
waist of the foot and heel being
clearly defined" in the surface of
an ancient lava flow on the west
coast of Hawaii near the ancient
City of Refuge known as Honaunau,
has aroused great comment and
speculation throughout the terri
tory.
The first Spaniards to touch the
island were said to have come in
1875. when tradition said that a
Spanish vessel was wrecked on the
southeast coast of the island. But
the City of Refuge was built in the
eleventh century and there is no
evidence that any lava flow came
down the mountain side of the vol
cano Mauna Loa, which rises a.
600 feet above the City of Refuge,
since the city was built Conse-
quently, it is presumed that the
lava flow containing the shoe i'm
print is of a much more ancient
day than 100, indicating that Span
iards visited the island long before
1875
The sea-shore at the base of Maui
ma LOa, near Honaunau is one OF
the few remaining sections of the
Hawaiian territory in which life
proceeds along much the same lines
as it did a century ago. Like many
Of the other strange things con-
tanned on the 1000 square mile
volcanic island of Hawaii, the prob
lem of the "Spaniard's foot" prob
ably will never be solved

Congestion Exerts Depressing In.
fuence-Hogs at Lowest Lev
ell in Six Years.

Congestion in all cattle markets
has exerted a depressing influence
on values. according to a bulletin
just issued by the Chicago Live
stock Exchange. A food of short
fed steers has been in competition
with grassers, to the disadvantage
of the farmer. Many OF these short
feds are declared TO be merely in
decent feeder condition, and con-
siderable number have been sent
back to the country for another
turn on corn.
All this is attributed by the bull
letin to a lack of confidence in the
future Of the market. primarily,
and secondly to need of money.
The proportion OF beef steers
selling below 81 is large, that above
$3.50 small.
Sentiment, says the bulletin, is
anything but optimistic. Beef con-
sumption is undoubtedly at low
ebb. Speculation as TO the future
course of the market is pronounced
to be futile, and will be as long as
present conditions exist.
There is every indication that an
excessive number of short-fed cat
tie will be dumped into the market
hopper within the next so days.
