Craig Urges City Sell Ice
Would Market Supply From
the Croton Watershed

Comptroller Charles L. Craig, in n
letter to the Board OF Estimate yester-
day, suggested that the city preserve
and market the annual supply of ice
from the Croton watershed for private
use as we'll as for public purposes. The
Comptroller pointed out that the large
number of lakes and reservoirs in the
Croton water supply system covered
an area OF about nineteen square mires
and that the water freezes every nor
NAL winter to a depth of twelve inches
or more.
This vast supply of ice is easily ac-
cessible by rail and first class road
ways, according to the Comptroller,
and could be sold here by the city in
the same manner that water is sold.
as there is nothing in the law to pre-
vent the city from selling frozen water,
or water at any temperature.

AMERICA TO LEARN
BY CONTACT TRAIT
OF FOREIGN LANDS
U. 5. Ignorant of Foreign Mat
tiers, is Version of DR..
Maurice F. Egan.

DR.. Maurice Francis Egan, au-
thor, educator and statesman, spoke
before a crowded session Of the
Chamber of Commerce at Notre
Dame yesterday. DIR. Egan praised
the Commerce school. OF which Rev.
John F. O'Hara Is dean. because It's
curriculum embraces cultural and
educational courses as we'll as tech
meal ones. and because OF the ac-
tual practice IL offers in the field of
domestic and foreign affairs.
The theme of his speech was di-
rected along the line of preparation
for foreign service. Mr.. Egan
stressed the point that no young
man who Is preparing for service in
foreign fields can afford to be care
less about studying the mannerisms,
languages. customs. habits and
ideals OF those with whom he IS to
associate in business.
Americans have an idea that
democracy means the breaking
} down OF foreign ceremonials." he
said. But this is not nee esarily
true. The business OF the diplomat
/ ist is 70 look after the business of
his country, and II a thorough
knowledge OF the oddities and de-
tailed manDerisms is necessary he
should obtain these. II the young
man entering fields for the first time
Is not versatile and able to adapt
| himself readily to any emergency
that may arise, to the habits OF the
people among whom he is asSociat-
| ing, he cannot be successful.
Active Contact Necessary.
! I'VE are the most ignorant peo-
pie in the world on matters touch
| ing foreign affairs" he continued.
"Our business is to discover Europe
and South America not by maps
and books, but by actual contact.
1t Is important and necessary that
we know the languages Of the Euro
pean countries with whom we trade.
The French language will gain &C
cess TO any ps t OF Europe and to
any society. .....
mo great ma ion in the world has
q conscience today but our own
Today we sta Id alone. the only
great nation that has moral pur-
pose, and therefore we must be able
TO meet con. petition from a mora,
point OF view. We cannot and should
not enter foreign trade with the
lfnenest and cleverDess Of some peo'
pie and yet we cannot afford TO bt
lunprepared in the ways OF diplom'
lacy. No diplomat ever made a sue
cess by lying. although, Of course
T Is impossible always 20 lay your
hand on the table.
AT present we blunder a grea
deal in our dealings with foreign
countries. These mistakes can only
be remedied by preparing our yount
men to enter the realms of foreign
trade and diplomacy. Neglect II
