Veterans Well Cared For.
Shell Shocked Patients in the Hos
Dita1 af KiuOa parE

To THE New York. HERALD: On a re-
cent Sunday l visited one of the State
hospitals at Kings Park, L. l., to see
an inmate. Noticing large number Of
young men there inquired about them
and the nurse said there were between
three and four hundred veterans in that
building suffering from shell shock and
other nervous troubles
was interested enough to go over the
building and see the conditions under
which the afflicted veterans were living.
So far as ] could Judge nothing could
be better. The building was apparently
nreproof and equipped with everything
required for the purpose. The sanitary
arrangements were up to date and clean
liness and order could not be exoelled.
On the day OF my visit a band con-
cert was about to take place In the sun
parlor and nearly all Of the young men
were assembled there waiting for the
concert to begin. They looked we'll and
contented. For those who like myself
had no real information as to how our
veterans were being taken care of the
above may be of interest. B.

Arbitration in Australia.

Australia's experiment with COM
pulsory arbitration of industrial dis
putes is not meeting with the success
its advocates expected. Theoretically
it was an ideal mechanism for the
promotion of industrial peace. Prae-
tically it has shown weak points.
The complaint made is that while
the system has brought peace it is
the sort of peace which the conqueror
contemplates when he has made a
desert. The Industrial Australian
charges that some OF the country's
greatest industries are suspended be-
cause they cannot pay the wages
awarded by the Arbitration Court;
that millions of pounds sterling are
tied up and thousands OF workmen
idle because court decisions make
operation of factories impossible.
The Melbourne correspon lent of
the London Times'S trade supplement
charges that compulsory arbitration,
as administered, is an obstacle to con-
structive reform; that its failure is
admitted by its advocates and en-
phasized by its opponents; that 1t
has disappointed workers, oppressed
employers and injured the Common
wealth. While industries native to
the country are protected by high
tariff, the abnormal cost of produc-
tion due to compulsory arbitration
has made competition with foreign
products hopeless.
AS illustrative Of the way wage
earners are adversely affected by the
system the case is cited OF important
engineering works forced to shut
down despite the fact that workers
would gladly have accepted the re-
duced wages which would have made
continued operation possible rather
than be thrown out Of employment
altogether. But right there the arbi-
tration law blocked both employee
and employer II the one pays and
the other accepts wages other than
those established by court decree both
are liable to prosecution.
According to the London Ttmes's
correspondent an effect of the system
is to make unionism compulsory and
TO destroy the freedom of the indi-
vidual worker. lie says: 1T has
established the rule Of the paid secre-
tary and the professional agitator,
fathered the spirit of class warfare,
severed the industrial world in twain
and inflicted great injury on the
community"
This, according to seemingly com
petent witnesses, Is the experience
Of Australia with the compulsory ar
bitration system as there applied.
But it should be borne in mind that
industrial conditions in Australia are
TO certain extent in a class by
themselves. For many years the
great Commonwealth OF the antipodes

Shall One Rule Nineteen?
The Union Labor Minority and Un.
.s organized Free Labor.

To THE NEW YoRK HERALD Is It not
about time for US, the people, to face
certain economic facts which we make
a. poor pretense Of ignoring? e
We are all perfectly well aware of
the fact that the fight is on between
the one-twentieth of our workers or
ganized as union labor slaves and the
other nineteen-twentieths Of our WORK
ers, who are unorganized American free
laborers.
We know by bitter and humiliating
experience that the union labor slaves
are so servile and abject that they have
no idea of freedom and are always ready
to submit supinely to the will of their
leader owners. and to carry out that
will, as In the case OF the Herrin horror
and In many other cases of brutality.
We know that we, the people. have
submitted to the sneaking tyranny of
the union labor slave owners because
they have successfully organized their
slaves so that they can oppress us by
threats of starving and freezing our
women and children IL we attempt to
revolt against that tyranny, and we are
now about to yield still further to their
brutal oppression.
We know that we, the people, are so
incapable of self-government that we
are utterly powerless to maintain any
Of the basic rights of the nineteen -twen-
tieths Of our workers which are not al
lowed by the union slave labor owners
of the other one-twentieth, and that
those union slave owners allow practi-
cally no rights at all to American free
laborers.
Lincoln once had the impression that
there would be difficulty in arranging
for country half free and half slave
we seem to have no difficulty about ar
ranging for a country nineteen-twenti-
eths American free labor and one-twen-
tieth union slave labor. Our solution
of the problem consists In stupidity sub
mitting to tho rule of the union labor
slave owners.
All these things are matters of COM
mon knowledge in these days OF sneak
ing strikes and union labor brutalities.
as is the fact that the rule of the union
labor slave owners is as good a gov
ernment as we. the people. deserve, or
we would have a better.
Why should we pretend to ignore the
facts7

Special Dispatch TO THE New York HraALp.
WILLIAMsrowN. MASS. Aug. H.
Walter 8. Rogers. chairman OF the round
table on international electrical COM
munication services at the Institute OF
Politics. said to-day that the policy OF
Secretary of State Hughes with respect
to granting licenses for the landing OF
cables will permit a much wider devel-
opment Of the American cable system.
The discussion by Mr. Rogers to-day
was largely in answer to criticism OF
his remarks OF Tuesday by Newcomh
Carlton, president of the Western Union
Telegraph Company.
Mr.. Rogers advocated a System OF
communications adequate to meet Amer
loan political. military and commercial
lean enterprise to manufacture cable and
cable apparatus. He said In part:
Il arm not an employee OF the State
Department and cannot speak for that
department / quite agree with Mr..
Carlton as to the desirability OF the
prompt granting of cable licenses, but
Mr.. Carlton has overlooked In his inter-
view that the recent delay has been due
to the efforts Of the State Department
to break down cable monopolies in for
eign countries.
"While this has resulted in certain
delays. the policy Of Mr. Hughes, II sue
cessful will create a situation permit
ting much wider development Of
American cable systems in the future.
"As to the Government lacking a con-
structive program, what said was
that the Government lacked a compre-
hensive program for furthering the de-
velopment Of American communications
with other countries. What Mr.. Hughes
is doing Is a part Of such a program and
a very valuable part What Is needed,
however, II the United States Is to have
system of communications adequate
to meet American political. military and
commercial needs, Is a comprehensive,
we'll rounded constructive program
Such a program involves, not alone
satisfactory situation az to landing IL
censes, but the definite encouragement
Of American cable enterprise and of
American business to undertake the
manufacture in this country OF cable
and cable apparatus, the development
by the Government either directly or
indirectly, of such needed electrical
communication services as American
private enterprise cannot or will not de-
velop, the Improvement Of the Govern
ment owned services to and In Alaska,
the development of a system of national
and international regulation that will
be fair to the cable and radio COM
panies and will at the same time pro-
tect the public from possible explota-
ton, and the full utilization Of the radio
system operated by the navy in such
ways as not unduly to interfere with
American private cable and radio in
terests.
THE Government might well address
itself to the working out of compre-
hensive communication program, ascer-
tanning what the companies are willing
and able to do, and what are the needs
Of the Government, of the press and of
American business for additional facili-

A dispatch from Simla, India, says
that "in retaliation for an attack on
a member of the Royal Welsh Fusil-
eers near Ladha three lighting planes
flew over the village of the tribesmen
ard dropped heavy bombs because
the natives had assaulted travellers"
The conquest of the air has made re-
talIation for outrages committed by
isolated communities much simpler
than it was a few years ago. Before
the airplane came into being a sub
stantial infantry and artillery force
would have been needed to punish
these marauders.

ernment is also confronted with the ne
cessity of deciding to what extent II Is
willing to cooperate with the other Gov
ernments of the world In international
agreements regarding telegraph. cables
and radio"
Mr.. Rogers discussed the Significance
of the cable monopoly. running until
1881, held by British and Danish CON-
panies in China, and the radio monopo-
lies claimed by British and Japanese
companies there. He pointed out that
international complications may arise
out of national efforts to control COM
munications.
He also discussed the need Tor i'm
proved cable facilities In the Pacific. His
reference to the success OF the British
Government owned cable running from
Vancouver to Australia led to an i'm
promptu debate with Oscar I. Crosby,
former Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury. on the rights and obligations of pub
lie utilities. Both agreed that every means
of communication demanded for possible
military and naval emergencies should
be developed, but that IL the taxpayer
provides them he should be made fully
aware of the fact
The introduction OF radio, he noted.
created new complications that made II
necessary to include radio In the agenda
OF the Washington conference. He said
that the integrity of China depends
largely on easy communication and that
the future OF China with respect to demo.
cratic government or chaos or autocracy
VIII depend TO a great extent on cheap
communication with the United states.
The pressure of public opinion, he said.
would be the best guaranty against
acts of aggression on the part OF out
side nations. Mr.. Rogers mentioned the
growing demand In Japan for lower
press rates with the United States.
The advent Of radio as a factor In
International communication, he said, is
not source of concern to cable COM
panieF, but 1t has resulted in the stimula-
ton of better equipment and service
among these companies.
Mr.. Rogers said that in spite OF Eng
lands almost complete control of the
worlds cables she has found dt profitable
to accord fair treatment and good serv-
Ice impartially to all.
Raymond Recouly, French editor, In
a lecture this morning on journalism
and international politics, said that the
influence Of the press was sometimes
greater than that of the Government.
is it good influence or bad in
huence?" he asked, and answered by
quoting Rsop. "The tongue could be the
very best and the very worst thing in
the world" adding, "A newspaper has
the power not only of single tongue
but multiplied by thousands or hundreds
of thousands" -
M. Recouly said Voltaire was a great
international journalist in that he pos
sessed a mind keenly on the alert the
art of keeping in touch with men and
things In spite of his secluded life, the
longing to vent his opinions on those
men and their doings, the wish and the
power to influence public opinion"
Therein, M. Recouly said. lies the
definition of a great journalist. He
warned newspapermen not to take notes
in the presence Of a person they are
interviewing.

lessons taught them by the war was

lessons taught them by the war was
that they must be in better state
of preparation than ever in the past.
They cite the violation of their guar
anty of neutrality In support of this.
With the purpose of improving their
defenses the Government entered
into military pact with France two
years ago and similar agreement
is now pending with Great Britain.
But here the Flemish question
comes to the front. The Flemings,
in the first place, insist that their
youth must be organized and drilled
as separate units in order that they
may preserve their racial identity.
In the second place, they insist that
they must get what was promised In
the matter of the University Of
Client. They declare II the Govern
ment does not rule in their favor on
these two points they will not ap-
prove the proposed plans for the
reorganization of the army.
The Belgian Government is thus
placed In peculiar position. France,
IT, is said, is opposed to granting the
Flemish proposal, az 1t might lead to
a divided Belgian army and also be-
cause naturally her sympathies are
strongly with the French Walloon
dominance in Belgium. The Belgian
Government fears to oppose France
because she knows that without
French aid Belgium stands a poor
chance of collecting her reparation
charges from Germany.
On the other hand, the Govern
ment's majority depends upon Flem-
ish-C Catholic votes. II it cannot get
these votes its whole military program
fails. The Flemings for once appear
to have the whip hand and they
stand to win either university or a
separate military organization. Ap-
parently 1t will take at least another
election to decide II the ancient racial
war between Walloon and Fleming
is really ended.

Canada's American Tourists.

Canada has opened wide her doors
to American automobilists. Hereto
fore visiting motorists have been re-
stricted to a stay of not more than
thirty days. Now there Is no limita-
tion, provided that after thirty days
the car owner gives bond. For
merly nonresident owners Of cars
who were connected with automobile
companies were not permitted to
bring their machines into Canada for
touring purposes. That regulation
has been abolished.
All this is neighborly and makes
for better acquaintance and improved
relations. Likewise 1t makes for
thrift, SO far as Canada is concerned.
A report issued by the Dominion
Governments Department Of Parks
estimates that in 1921 American
tourists spent $75,O00,O00 in Can
ada. 1t is also estimated that 100000
American automobiles entered Canada
last year. Probably automobiles
hailing from every State in the
Union crossed the northern border in
1921. Canadians compute that this
means upward Of half million
American automobile tourists. The
figures may or may not be accurate,
but the fact remains that American
automobile travel is. an important
item in the Dominion's sources OF
revenue.
Now that restrictions have been re-
moved it is expected that this form
Of American travel will be increased
Whether this happens or whether the
tide Of American tourist travel
changes its course, Canada's share ot
tits likely to be large. And the bigger
1t is the better. The more people on
both sides of the line mingle together
the better they become acquainted
end the better they become &C.
quainted the more readily do the
bars 60 down that tend artifcially to
separate them.

Balanced Meals and Health.

Recent mortality statistics have es-
tablished the fact that while the gen.
eral death rate has declined 13 per
cent. during the last ten years the
rate for tuberculosis has been low
cred 20 per cent. These figures sup
port the hope that in the near future
the conquest of tuberculosis will be
as complete as that of typhoid fever.
The same bulletins present dis
quieting information OF steady in
crease in the rate Of the .constitu-
tional ailments known as old age
diseases. Organic diseases Of the heart
stand in the first place, not only in
old age ailments but among all causes
Of death. Bright's disease, harden
ing Of the arteries and diabetes show
an irregular but persistent increase.
These ailments are conditions of the
body rather than diseases in the ordi-
nary sense, but they are conditions
indicating a failure Of the organs of
the body to function in a normal
manner Biological science teaches
that the human animal is designed
to last round century of years; but
modern civilization has not yet been
able to bring mankind generally to
the accomplishment of that span.
A contributor to medical journal
sees the improperly balanced meal,
along with impaired nutrition, as u
cause of premature old age and the
increasing death rate therefrom. He
points to the fact that the increase of
these ailments became noticeable
about the time the old fashioned meal
began to give place to the dinner
purchased at the delicatessen shop
and to the meal ordered a la carte at
the restaurant. In both cases the
meal Is usually overladen in one d.
rection andeunderladen in the mat
ter Of vegetables and fruit; in other
words il Is badly balanced.
The term metabolsm is much used
In physiology. In its broader use II
defines the process by which nutrient
material is carried to the various
parts OF the body and built into 1t.
II also applies to the process by
which waste cells are elected from
body tissue. III either process fails
impairment of the organs Of the body
is consequence. The i'll balanced
meal. redundant in one kind of nu-
trient material and deficient in an
other, does not feed the body prop
erly; old age ailments early In life
are consequence The popularity Of
the table d'h6te dinner has been due
to the fact that 1t is usually well bal
anced, and because II is well bal
anced the body Graves IT.
In lengthening the average dura-
tion OF life by nearly score of years
medical science has accomplished a
tremendously important result. The
result has been brought about by the
conquest OF communicable diseases.
