The Journal opens its columns to
a discussion of the general question
of state parks and invites specific
suggestions of tracts that the state
should acquire-for this purpose. In
each case there should be accurate
general information as to the area,
. the lakes and rivers within it, the
kind and extent of the forest growth,
the topography of the land, any his
! toric associations-all the facts that
appeal.
The Journal will submit all these
suggestions to the presidents of lead
| ing organizations of men and women
|; in the state with request that each
i Of them appoint representative to
membership on q citizen committee
that will visit all suitable tracts sug-
gested and submit recommendations
to the next legislature
Except for very special reasons, nc

cities seek the quiet and the tonic of
woods and waters for a time each
year. Good roads and automobiles
tend increasingly to make a large
proportion of the people nomadic dur
ing the spring, summer and autumn.
Wisconsin can gain hugely if she
will. She is part of the great indus
trial middle west, region inhabited
by many millions, whose numbers in
crease more rapidly than any other
section. Her opportunity to draw
tourists is unsurpassed.
In scenic beauty and accessibility
which appeal to tourists, no other
state in the middle west equals Wis
consin. Between the Atlantic ocean
and the Rocky mountains, there are
just three great states of forests and
Wisconsin, Michigan and Min
nesota. Michigan's lakes are COM
paratively few in number. Mime
sofa, like Wisconsin, possesses a reg
ion of thousand lakes, but they are
not nearly so accessible. The great
lines Of travel from the Ohio, the
Mississippi and the Missouri valleys
converge at Chicago. And in a nights
ride from Chicago one can reach any
point in upper Wisconsin.
All the natural conditions favor
Wisconsin. It will be her fault if she
does not become the playground of
the teeming central west and draw a
tourist trade materially larger than

Chilean Students
In u. S. Colleges

Six young people of Chile, three
young men and three young women,
are being sent by the Chilean govern
ment to the United States to spend
four years in American colleges.
Their mission is to study the educa-
tional system of the United States, par
ticularly as it concerns higher educa-
ton, and to investigate the effects,
economic and physical, of the pro-
hibition Of the manufacture and sale
of alcoholic beverages.
Chile is very near the enactment
of a law similar to the Eighteenth
amendment TO the United States con-
stitution, waiting only for little
further observation Of the result of
the prohibitory law here, and to de-
velop a little more assurance in the
minds Of those engaged in the wine
industry that grapes may be grown
with profit without the liquor indus
try. Both government officials and
educators are lined up strongly for
prohibition, and 1.-THE prophecy is that
another five years will see Chile dry.
The young students who are being
financed here by their government are
being placed in different parts Of the
country, under different environment
and it is expected that their observa-
tons will be useful in helping Chile
to come to clear understanding of
the effects of prohibition on the in
t dustrial and social life Of the people
and upon the public health. The
! three young women have been placed
! in the special charge of Miss Anna A
Gordon, president Of the w. G. T. O
n the United States.

Japan, it is stated, will send two
hundred Of her ablest statesmen and
international experts. Apparently
Japan does not propose to allow any
thing to be "put over" on her, if num-
bers and brains can prevent. The
Japanese delegates will be suave and
polished while in Washington, but
they will be in deadly earnest. Not
a word or gesture will escape them.
1t is with the demands of Japan that
we of America are most vitality con-
cerned.

that of Michigan, which has for years
exploited her natural advantages and
now claims a tourist trade aggregat-
ing 100000 a year, against an es-
timated revenue from this source for
Wisconsin of only S10,00O,00O.
If Wisconsin is to gain her rightful
share of the tourist traffic, she must
have more state parks, large, natural
parks, with trees and lakes and
streams. Those who sense this need,
this opportunity, are many, and every
day there are more.
To those who love Wisconsin and
Wisconsin's beauty and those who
wish to guard Wisconsin's interests
and prosperity the time has come to
take stock, to canvass the states at
fractions, to urge the next legislature
which will meet in eighteen months,
to adopt a broad and comprehensive
park policy.
There are great possibilities in the
upper reaches of the Wisconsin, Man

NATIONAL w. C.. T. u. PRESIDENT
RETURNS FROM SOUTH AMERICA

the South American countries at the
convention in ST. Louis in 1919. They
visited all the countries open TO
strangers in Europe in the spring and
summer Of 1920. This year they have
made tour of The Latin-American
countries, including Peru. Chile, Uru-
quay, Argentine and Brazil They will
bring to the convention that meets in
San Francisco, August Is to %, a
prophecy from representatives of the
government in Chile, Argentine and
Uruguay that prohibition will be es-
tabliShed there within five years.
South America is watching closely the
effect of the prohibitory law in the
United States, both in its social and
its economic aspects. Nothing but
complete failure here could prevent
the enactment of similar legislation
there, and there is no thought of fail
ure, either in the minds Of the South
American temperance workers, or here.
Indicative of public opinion towards
prohibition is the attitude of the gov
ernments and of educators of the high
est rank towards the cause. Because
of this sympathy the teaching or
scientific temperance is included in the
curriculum of the schools, for which
teachers are trained in the normal
schools To meet the question of
economic loss the government of Chile
has already instituted program of
propaganda to teach the value Of
grape culture for other purposes than
the making of alcoholic beverages and
| is advocating legislation to provide ii
nancial aid for those who undertake
| the. conversion Of their plants to 9th
| er purposes than wine making.

Undoubtedly, as has been our Gus
tom in the past, the American cards
will be laid upon the table, faces up
ward. But they will hardly be join
ed by the cards of other nations That
is hardly to be expected of men who
have been trained in an atmosphere
of secret diplomacy. The American
delegates will skirmish in the open a.
gainst adversaries who are concealed
in a fog of doubt and uncertainty.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1921-08-25

Then there is another influence
sinister one-which will harass the
American delegates, and may even at
tempt to fog the issue among the for
aigners. Munitions manufacturers
and others who profit from warfare
do not want perpetual peace. Inter
national financiers of Wall Street are
Of this class. If the conference puts
an end to warfare it also puts an end
to billions upon billions of fat profits
that would otherwise flow into the
swollen pockets of these fellows. They
will do their utmost to, prevent a
lasting peace.
