SETTLING AN OLD CRUDCE

IL ton today becomes the appropriate

Initiatives of Chile and Peru are meeting

hnding Tacna africa dispute, which has for
bars disturbed the serenity of international
lations in South America.
The Tacna africa controversy has been
He'd the Latin American Alsace- Lorraine.
ufrhaps that description is in some senses
yktravagant, since there are numerous de-
|ils and counter claims in this issue that
i've no parallel in the lost provinces

hile- Peru imbroglio has been potentially
ukngerous and source of unrest in the

The principals involved have frequently
zen on the verge Of new wars. For a
erm of years they have been without for
bal diplomatic relations.
The present commissioners are said to be
Inspired with a determination to settle the
problem conclus!vely by negotiation. The
atmosphere of Washington was judged par
(dcularly fitting for arbitral proceedings.
The interest Of the United States is dis
played in the opening program, which con.

questionably slrnish the frendiest assist

MR.. MIuEN's BIG PROGRAM

A CTINE cooperation of other interested
"A parties with Mr.. Mitten in the consid
Grafton of his latest program will depend
largely upon whether the city is ready seri-
ously to take up the solution of the rapid
transit problem.
The solution, according to Mr. Mitten in
the statement which he gave out yesterday,
lies in city ownership of all subways ee-
waited and surface tracks; in assessing the
cost Of new lines proportionatey upon the
property benefited and upon the taxpayers
at large, and in the operation of the lines
by private company which shall supply all
the equipment with the assurance Of a
reasonable return upon the investment.
Mr.. Mitten suggests that a commission Of
citizens representing the real estate and
commercial interests be appointed to con-
slider the plan in conjunction with repre-
sentatives of the city and the Rapid Transit
Company.
1t is not likely that he expects this COM
mission to adopt his suggestions forthwith.
They are too revolutionary to be adopted,
II they are to be adopted at all, without the
most careful study of all the questions In
volved. Consideration of them would be
VnluaDle IN any event, lOT IL "Oulu assist Ill
creating more intelligent public sentiment
than now exists.
The experiment soon TO be made with the
operation Of the city owned Frankford ele-
waited line will be useful in guiding public
sentiment With some vital differences, that
line is to be operated upon the plan which
Mr.. Mitten would like to have applied TO all
the lines in the city. The Rapid Transit
Company, in this case, does not supply the
| cars to he operated. They are bought by the
city and the company is expected to pay
rent for their use, as their cost is to be
| included In the cost of the line. But it will
| be five years before the rental will equal the
| interest which the city will have to pay
on the bonds.
IT may be admitted that in theory there
| Is Just as much justification for the city
TO own all the rapid transit tracks and lease
| their operation to the company ms for 1t to
| own the Frankford line and lease that. The
| general application of theory becomes purely
a question Of expediency.
| An attempt was made at the last session
| of the Legislature to get law passed which
| would permit the city to take over such
| lines as 1t chose at such times as seemed
best without taking over the whole rapid
transit system. vThc bill was defeated, and

LABOR SHOULD CLEAN HOUSE

VTyHE damage done 70 the prestige of trades
j unionsm by the Brindell disclosures in
New York, where n group of labor leaders
were found to have been conspiring with
proftecring contractors against the general
public and starting or stopping strikes for
large fees, which they pocketed, was enor-
nous. 1t may be repeated in Chicago,
where a strike involving some Of the build
ing trades has been attended by the murder
s0f two policemen, the discovery Of bomb
lactory at the headquarters Of some of the
locals and the identification Of two Of the
most active labor leaders as men with Jail
records and has progressed steadily toward
condition OF open anarchy.
There is already tendency on the side
Iof the unions to berate the Chicago police
tfor the manner in which they have been
dealing with the strike emergency. Raids

JULY q AND THE FAIR

DRESIDENT IIARDING'S promise to
L attend the Marion. O.. centennial celc-
bration on July 4 sigralzes a sentimental
claim which Philadelphians cannot grace
fully contest.
Y Nevertheless, it Is sincerely TO be re-
gretted that the coincidence Of ceremonial
plans is disrupting program of special
propricty in formally dcdcating the world
fair site in this city. Tradition and his
torical considerations emphatically pre-
scribe the Fourth of July as the fitting date
for beginning physical operations on the
exposition enterprise, commemorative of
400 years of American independence.
Perhaps, however, n compromise could be
effected through the ingcnuities Of radio
speech transfercnce, which have before now
given Mr.. Harding magical ubiQuity.

HARDING AND WoMEN'S VOTE

ct KNOW in my very heart" said Presi-
i dent Harding at Atlantic City, that
women can only play their part truly In
the affairs of the Nation if they play 1t in
connection with n recognized political or
ganization. would look with agonizing
sorrow on the day when we would have in
America anything like party division on sex
lines
Party division on sex lines would. of
course, be a catastrophe. There Is about
as much danger of such a elimination as
there is Of collision with the moon. The
Presidents suggestion that women should
ally themselves with active and recognized
party organizations is, of course. wholly
logical. But it does not 20 quite far
enough. Women are justified in keeping
aloof from large factions that are obviously
unworthy of support. That such policy
may have n powerful disciplinary effect is
now clearly apparent In Pennsylvania.

tne general impression Is that it was defeated
by rapid transit interests.
some such bill will have to be passed IL
nr' Mltten plan is to be adopted. for
there Is too much money involved. and in
'he hgnt OF present knowledge the result of
tue experiment Is too doubtful for any public
omcial to feel justified in recommending that
the city buy all the franchises and tracks
now operated by the Rapid Transit Com.
pany. IT the thing is done at all 1t will
have to be done piecemeal.
The city is already committed IN tho
proposition that public money is TO be spent
for building high speed lines, Some Of that
money has been spent on the Frankford line.
MIR. Mitten's suggestion for financing the
new lines by assessing part of the cost upon
the property benefited is in accordance with
the best engineering opinion in the country.
That new high speed lines increase the whine
OF the property served by those lines is adj
mitted. The Market street elevated line
added S113, ,OOO, 900 to the assessed valuation
OF property In West Philadelphia. The
property owners profitcd by this unearned
Increment. Under the assessment for
benefit plan part Of this unearned increment
would be taken by the city to reduce the
amount of bonds to be issued and 70 nav off
other bonds as they fell due.
IT the assessments are spread over a term
OF years they would not be burdensome, The
increased annual income from the imnrovcd
property would in most instances be sniff;
cient to meet the annual payment on the
assessment.
But this plan cannot be adopted without
an amendment to the State Constitution.
Such an amendment was included in the
changes proposed by the Constitutional Re
vision commission last year. The rejection
by the voters of the proposition to revise
the "hoie constitution did not necessarily
mean that the voters were opposed to this
proposition. Indeed the revision of the
Constitution was opposed by Senator Pen
rose and the machine which he controlled
because, among other reasons. it was thou pbt
better to change the Constitution by single
amendments than to do it wholesale.
A specific amendment permitting assess
ment on the benefited property could be
passed by the Legislature next winter II
the men in authority desire it, and IL could
be made a part Of the law Of the land by
the fall of 1925.
Back of Mr. Mitten's proposals is the
evident desire to bring about the operation
of the street-car lines at a five-cent fare
for the benefit of the people and the profit
of the Rapid Transit Company. 1t ought
to be discussed and examined in all its bear:
ings, for only thus can we learn the truth
| and decide what TO do.

THE MERRY-CO-ROUND

0NE way to end an international confer
~ encc is to call another. The procedure
has been followed with conspicuous regu-
larity ever since the Qusi d'Orsay and Yer
sailles sessions closed In 1919.
Hints of an international financial COM
mission, with Il new setting, to which the
United States may be invited, provide at
this moment the chief offset to a verdict Of
failure at Genoa. Whether the conference
closes this week or struggles on, 1t is, indeed
highly probable that some provision will be
made for future discussion, especially Of
the Russian predcament.

who poses as an expert and vet is without
expert knowledge. lie is likely to testify
to anything, knowing it to be false and
untrue. The medical profession knows it's
own false experts and condemns them; a
certain type Of the legal profession knows
them and employs them.
A Partial Solution
"a partial solution of this problem Is to
report in writing n scientific opinion of the
case, free from the contentious atmosphere
OF the courtroom and to stick to this opn-
ton If there be no good reason for changing
1t under testimony. In many years of testi-
mOny in the courts / have known of only
one attorney who insisted upon an opinion
adverse to his client being presented in order
to bring out the entire truth about the case
"Of course. the proper solution Of the
problem is the method adopted by the Mu. :.
nicipal Court, which has n department Of
neuro. psychiatry under DR.. Leopold. who Is
paid by the court and who presents 4 sci
entihc and unbiased opinion concerning the
case involved. This plan could be employed
in the other courts quite rs well. It was put
into practice at one time In St. Louis. but
did not prevent either side from calling nd
ditional experts of their own. But the jury
invariably preferred to take the opinion Of
the unbiased commissioner rather than the
biased testimony employed by either side.
'"Thc Judges with whom have discussed
this matter are quite as anxious to correct
this evil as the medical profession, the legal
profession or the general public. They are,
however, at loss, as a rule, on account
OF their lack of expert knowledge In medi-
cal matters, to know the exact manner to
bring out the entire truth from medical wit
nesses. and even more NJ loss in condemn
Ing experts who are appi rcntly giving testi-
mony and opinions Inconsistent with the
facts and the scientific tencts upon which
opinions are based
The Fundamental Trouble
'"Thc fundamental trouble underlying the
usual court procedure is that the average
trial is an intellectual contest between two
sides for supremacy rather than combined
effort to elicit the entire truth
where the attorney says to the phys-
clan, You need not mention that; it will
come out in cross examinations. it frequently
does not come out in cross examination, or
If 1t does it places the doctor in the Dosi-
tion of concealing the truth The whole
matter of expert medical testimony should
receive the attention of the best intellects
OF the medical and legal professions for the
honor of both
