NEAR EAST RELIEF

Wichita, Kans., Oct. 81 Especially =
The devastation, the misery, the starv-
alton and the suffering of thousands
in Armenia has been brought poig-
nantly home to Kansans with the re-
turn to Wichita of George Boghosian,
an Armenian, who recently visited the
Near East in search for members o.
his family from whom he had not
heard since before the war.
At relief camps and in Rumania
he learned that his father and mother,
two brothers and a sister either had
been slain or died of starvation and
that an older sister has been captured
and taken into slavery by a band of
brigands. In the wild aftermath of
the war his whole family had been
wiped out as many other families
have been.
Mr.. Boghosian, who is connected
with large business firm here, visit
ed many cities in Armenia where
Near East Relief is maintaining
orphanages and refugee camps. He
saw the plight of his fellow country
men and others and realized the mag
nitude of the task facing Near East
Relief in its mercy work.
The tragedy Of starvation is a nor
rible thing to see" said Mr.. Bog
hosian. Il saw little children, naked.

AT THE SAME OLD GAME

The Foreign Trade Committee of
the Merchants Association of New
York has gone on record as favoring
Free Ports for the United States.
That is nothing new. Certain mem
bers of the Association have been Try
ing for many years to secure the pass
age of bill permitting the establish
ment of such ports. But the fact that
the Foreign Trade Committee may
favor Free Ports is by no means evil
dence that the Association as a whole
favors them.
1t is not long since certain members
of the same Association sought to
speak for the entire Association in
opposition to the American valuation
system, a proceeding which did not
meet with the approval of large pro-
portion of the membership and which
directly led to the formation of the
American Valuation Association.
AS we have so often shown, Free
Ports are inimical to our Protective
Tariff system. Anything which tends
to increase the selling of foreign pro-
ducts in place of American products
is contrary to the Protective policy
and should be opposed by every true
friend of the productive industries of
the United States. We have again
and again conclusively shown that the
establishment of Free Ports in this
country would place foreign products
in direct and unprotected and unfair
competition with foreign products
right here at home The foreign buy
ers who come here to buy American
products would buy foreign products
instead, since they could buy them in
this country at the much lower for
eign prices and all ready for immed-
late shipment. No other argument
ought to be needed in order to damn
forever the proposal to establish Free
Ports.
The establishment of Free Ports
would not help our merchant marine.
The principal effect that their estab-
lishment would have on our merchant
marine would be to furnish It with
outgoing cargoes of foreign goods IN
stead of cargoes of goods made IN

"A classic instance of the concen-

their daily rounds, picking up the

tragic to be described.
"And in these same cities 1 have
seen the Near East Relief Orphanages
in them hundreds Of children, no
longer hungry, no longer clothed in
filthy rags, but smiling, eager young
sters, still just bit sober because of
the nightmare through which many of
them have just passed.
For them there is still hope. They
are inside the gates where safety,
food and warmth protects. Outside
those orphanages, daily, even hourly,
crawling to the doorways, are hun
dreds of other children, just as de-
serving of help as those within.

Mr.. Boghosian is helping his people
and since hearing his recital of the
conditions which he personally came
in contact with in his recent visit to
Armenia, his townsfolks in Wichita
have contributed eight carloads of
flour to the Near East Relief to be
used in maintaining its orphanages.
People all over the United States
are responding to the appeal for as
sistance, giving wheat and corn and
flour. Many cities are putting on
voluntary campaigns and the rivalry is
keen. America is deeply sympathetic
with this cause because the foodstuffs
and clothing contributed is going to

whose crops the past three seasons
have been ruined by warning factions
of which they were not a part.

Prosperity Depends Upon Protection

Why IS it that the columns of the
Free-Trade newspapers are more re-
liable than their editorial matter? 1t
is because the former deal in facts
and the latter in fancies. In the Fin

of October we read:
Congressional delay in Tariff re-
vision promises to postpone the big
bull market that many people have
been expecting to start in full tilt

Birds Kill Many Injurious Insects


Mobilization of the wild birds. an

tions of what the birds have done are
cited by the department, as follows:
On one Utah farm infested by the
alfalfa weevil, English sparrows alone
in one season fed to their young, it
is estimated, 100000 of the pests,
making them about one-third of the

''On 2OO-acre farm in North Car

it was found that the birds were very

outbreak was at its height during the

goldfinch and the vesper and chipping
sparrows, which with other species on
the farm numbered more than 5000
individuals. It was found that these
birds were destroying green bugs at
the rate of nearly 100000 day,
and on days when additional focks
