AN HOUR MORE DAYLIGHT

THE experiment with daylight saving made
i during the war was so satisfactory that
every one will be delighted when the clocks
are put ahead an hour next Sunday and
work on Monday begins and stops an hour
earlier than this week
The extra hour Of daylight can be used in
various satisfactory ways all summer The
people who live in town will have another
hour for recreation and the people who live
In. the suburbs and in the country will have
more daylight after their days work in
town Is ended to devote to gardening or any
OF the various other activities of those who
have access to the open spaces.
The railroad companies are making the
eame arrangement as last year. Their trains
will still run on standard time, but the /

start at ~ o'clock next week. according to

have adjusted their timepicces to the summer

"One of the hardest tasks that. face the
educational authorities in the admihistra-
this kind is to resist the importunities Of
local communities in various parts Of the
city. each Of which thinks that its own
particular school needs are the most urgent
OF any in the city. The Department Of
IN with the
and unbiased view Of the school building
needs of the entire city and formulates its
program OF recommendation to the Board
OF Education on the basis Of the respective
urgency of those needs.
1T is greatly to the credit of the Board
OF Education that. regardless of the local in.
terests of the members, no attempt has ever
been made since have had any connection
with the matter of school buildings to die
tate or in any manner influence the order
IN which the. different building projects

solely by the recommendations of the two
departments which I have mentioned, and
have not let their local interests interfere

struction program must be financed out Of
loans rather than out of current income.
"As is indicated above. the complete

city while these buildings are being erected
involves the expenditure of more than S5O,-

READINESS FOR THE NEW CITY

THE Delaware Bridge and the World Fair
= are unQucstionably the foremost public
enterprises in which Philadelphia has been
concerned for generation. The value of
both these undertakings is largely dependent
upon auxiliary preparations fitting into their
scope. For this reason the approval by the
Councils Committee on Public Works OF
the construction Of a new Fairmount dam
and of the extension Of Spring Garden
street from Fifth to the Delaware River Is
Z gratifying instance Of practical foresight.
The dam at Fairmount is lamentably' super
annuated and constitutes serious detriment
TO efficient operation of the municipal water
supply system. In addition to the need for
new structure on these counts, there is
the obligation to begin and complete the
work before the exposition is under way.
The Schuylkill is to be n scenic feature of
the Scsqui Centennial. There are cogent
artistic as well practical reasons for
starting the rehabilitation process at once.
The Spring Garden street extension. long
in abeyance, is now obviously desirable as
an artery for bridge traffic. The mere as
sumption that the Fair will be in progress
and the bridge &il be opened in 1926 is not
enough. There must be assurance that
Philadelphia will be ready to make the most
Of these monumental enterprises.

END OF THE VESUVIUS

NJHEN the dynamite cruiser Nesuvius was
wv built some enthusiasts hailed it as the
most destructive engine of war that had
sver been invented.
The ship, it will be recalled was equipped
with two tubes in its bow from which dyna-
mite was fired by compressed air. Theo-
retically, enough dynamite could be fred to
blow up thu strongest fortifcaton ever
built.
The opportunity came in the Spanish
War to test the theory. The captain of the
snip was ordered to fire at Moro Castle
on the high bluffs overlooking the harbor of
Santiago. Several charges were fired and
terrific explosions followed. But when the
city was taken and there was an opportunity
to see what destruction had been wrought
II was found that not gun in the fort had
been shaken from it's carriage.
As the dynamite tubes were rigid, marks
manship was impossible and the gunners
lad to trust to luck in getting the range
and hitting the target. No more ships of
the type were built. The tubes were torn
out of the ship some years ago and now she
has been sold as junk to a Massachusetts
dealer for $426O. Thus ends an inventors
dream.
In the meantime the airplane has been
perfected which can drop tons of dynamite
on fort with greater precision and from
greater distance than was ever possible to

ping Board, foresees q possible "tcst fight
on all the oceans and adds that this
country is prepared to meet the fight at
every point for any length Of time"
This ~ a declaration Of war which the
general pubic can accept without alarm.
Steamship passenger rates the world over
have until now betrayed no tendency to con-
form with the downward trend Of prices.
The ability to get away with almost any
policy Of 'extortion was ostensibly regarded
in shipping circles as justification.
The South American schedule has been
a notorious offender. Including head tax,
one way passage to Buenos Aires has cost
the unfortunate traveller $500, a total Of ap.
proximately $1,000 for the round trip. At
the present time bookings for round.the
world excursions, including certain transpor.
tation features ashore. may be secured at
minimum rates of $1,000 to $105O The mile
age of these routes Is more than twice as
much as that of the round trip to Argentina
from New York.
How excessive the charges have been is
demonstrated by the extent of the rate cut
by the Lamport 4 Holt Line, British
concern. which by its new reductions chal.
lenges the Shipping Boards service, oper-
ated by the Munson Line.
The fare to Buenos Aires has been lowered
to 1870 from $500. The Shipping Board
meets this reduction by $500 minimum rate
to the Argentine capital on its splendid new
steamers.
Mr.. Lasker is obviously iE aggressive
mood. 1t may not be many months before
preposterous charges on the North Atlantic
will receive a deserved blow.
The competition by the new American
lines on the European run was originally
derided by long -entrenched foreign COM
pnnics. The public. which has been char
acteristically patient under extortion, will
welcome an offensive move from either camp.
Should Mr. Lasker take the initiative the
alleged popular discrimination against
American passenger ships is certain to be
swiftly effaced.

The right OF the Russians to mancuver
for n favorable position is. Of course, un-
deniable, and 1t is permissible to suggest
that the Soviet demands on the subject of
interchapses Of property holdings have been
made deliberately extravagant.

sonable to assume that this was not realized
by the Soviet delegates even in their

A RUSSIAN ONE-WAY RULE

HEORGE CHICHERIN is far from
~ wrong in his deduction that Allied OBJ
lection to the Russian principle Of natonali-
cation is blocking the Economic Conference
at Genoa.
1t is the Soviet Government contention
that 'the social and economic system and
fundamental laws Of the Communist Republic
win seriously interfere with the restoration
ef Russian property to former private
owners in foreign countries" But as these
nations are. bourgeois and dedicated to
the principle of private property, it is argued
that original Russian holdings within these
territories must be handed back.
This reasoning amounts to an attempted
DenalixatiOn of the outside world for its
unreeenerate capitalism. The quid pro quo
- overturned upon the theory that Russia
on one side and the rest of the nations on
the other have the right to adopt whatever
economic system plcases them and to act
accordingly.
Logically this doctrine may be sound. 1t
furnishes, however, but doubtful basis
for bargaining and permits of some rather
startling interpretations.
A bandit. for instance, might readily JUS
tify his acquisitive practices on the ground
that they were consonant with his particular
system Of economics. In his view non
Z knliryers In banditry would be morally
pewerIess to rctaliatc with force, since the
acquisition Of goods in this fashion was not
accepted In their social philosophy.
