to say that in Russia "eugenical in

Lovers cannot take themselves

DUAL ETHICS

TALK with any girl who has
lived a year in a college
- dormitory. and one dis
mantle love TO last forever as her
female forebears have done.
Perhaps she will quote for you
this from Edna st. Vincent Millay:
Il would indeed that love were
longer lived
And vows were not so brittle as
they are.
But so it is, and Nature has con-
tr!ved
To struggle on without break
thus far
Whether or not we find what we are
seeking
Is idle, biologically speaking"
This heresy which shocks an old
er generation of lovers seems 10 be
characteristic Of the younger. When
applied TO the conduct OF life, IL is
like a bomb planted under woman's
ancient foe, the double moral stand
ard.
And now consider a statement
made by the statistician Of an insur-
ance company:
"A great racial loss results from
the fact that women with higher ed
ucation often remain unmarried"
And then he urges the college bred
woman ito look on matrimony as
career with great and inspiring pos
sibilitiee."
There can be no argument as to
whether normal woman wishes 70
marry and 10 be a mother; nor about
the statement that many women
qualified 20 make the best OF moth

Distrust OF romantic love. dis

TOBACCO STORED IN BALES READY FOR I SEDIMENT FROM CUBA A~-TOBAcCOA LhR6E ITEM IN OUR ANNUAL. PURCHASES FROM
 THAT lSLAk

So in this appointment our gcS ernment is recognizing both duty and a privilege. This country is obligated to it's ward and neighbor not only in furtherGnce of the re- responsibilities 1t assumed in 1898 but for the rich returns in trade that Cuba has brought us. On the other hand the meeting of this obligation by the further development of C1l- ban resources by the enactment of reasonable tariff laws will repay us by continued increase of our con- merce with Cuba. If we do not meet this obligation promptly we will not merely lose this rich trade, but we will be responsible for the ruin of Cuban prosperity which our previous cooperation built ID.
 Under a benef1cent reciprocity treaty trade between Cuba and the United States has steadily in creased. During the regime of the Wilson Law with it's tax on sugar, Cuba's chief export to this country, however, stagnation in our Cuban trade resulted and lasted until the repeal of that measure, result

was Cuba. To many of tho othoF countries sales by the United States fell off from 30 to 40 per cent dur ing the same period. America's cX- port trade un the whole fell from O,OoO0O0 in the fiscal yenr 1920 tn S6,J00DO0,C00 in r|le fiscal year ending June 90. 1901. TIe falling of of imports from Cuba. n inc United States from SG4J,l7 1 S2S to S420,3@9, ,a40 in lhe Srmc period was due mainly to the fluctuations in the price of Cuban sugar.
 Cuba is q better customer of tha United States than inc next three Latin American countries combined She is in fact q better customer than all South America leaving out Brazil. The only nations in the world whose total trade with tho United States exceeds that between Cuba and our country are the United Kingdom and Canada.

Tine cry of Cuba fibre in 1898 raised the Inhabitants of that little island na- ton to the rank of spiritual broth CTS, Then followed under American protection and tutelage, the deycl. oplnent there If an independent modern republic. So she is today with most of us an altruistic scnti- ment incarnote in the body of q regenerated people.
 But in the mind of the proverbial "hard- headed business man" she is something more. To him she may be . sentiment too, but she is also q cold concrete fact stamped with q dollar sign.

 The recent appointment of Chester Lloyd Jones as Acting American Commercial Attache to Cuba calls public attention point edly.to the material significance of this one of tho smallest of our neighbors and at the same time one of the largest and most important of our international customers Cuba holds fourth place among the nations in her annual purchases from this country and ranks third in total annual business. Tn pro- portion to her population and total commerce, she is by far our best customer. The appointment for the first time of an American trade commissioner to the island In .he person of Mir.

sugar has represented directly A billion dollar business annually be- tween the two countries. Indirectly f. means more than thnt, for lt is gery largely with tho proceeds of sngar sales 10 us that the Cuban people, rich and poor buy the ne- cessitles and luXurlcs of life, and buy them mostly from Us.
 When one considers agnin that over three quarters of all cuba's international business Is done with the United States and that sugar, directly and indirectly. accounts for nearly all of that business. lt Is evident that the quickest and surest way to cripple Cuba financially and shut or this trade opportunity is to interefcre with her sugnr trade with us. Reclprncnlly such an In, reference wonld make a large nick in our international trade. If through excessive tnriff resfrlctlors we make 1t Impossible for Cnhn 10 sell her sugar here she will have no money with which to purchase our products and no inclination to io SD if she had. She would he forced to rehnbilitate her trade as soon as possible hy building up new mar kets for her sugar in other coun- tries. And while selling her sugar crop elsewhere she would he forced to make her annual purchases there.
 In short Uncle Sam has very much the same relation with Cuba that the tore.keeper and produce buyer In little country town has with the farmers around him. The farmers bring their produce In to his market and with the proceeds of their sales huy their supplies at his store. Now if the staple crop of given country district happens to be cabbage, for example, and In given year the cahhage-cro Is failure the farmers will he unable to do much buying at the store that year.
 Now that would be merely temporary mishap for which the store-keeper would be in novise to blame. But suppose he should take 1t into his head to increase his income by getting control of a section of the main highway into town from the farm district, es- tahlishlng toll-gate and making 1t impossible for his customers 10 bring their products to his market without paying toll so heavy that their profits were largely absorbed, What would happen? The farmers would lot their crops rot before they'd bring them into him at loss. They would hunt un the next nearest market, take their cab bages there and buy their supplies there. The store-keeper would cripple the farmers temporarily perhaps, probably cut their profits permanently by making them sell In m\ distant market. But he would Sntanently knock a hole n his own business.
 In suggesting an increased tariff on Cuban sugar it Is proposed that Uncle Sam shall establish such toll-gate and not only drive away one of hts best International GUS toners but put a serious crlmp In that customers prosperity.
