strengthened his faith in American
individuaiism, for America has been
steadily developing the ideals that
constitute progressive individualism.
"Americans." he writes, are not
fooled into the pretense that all men
are equal in ability. character, in
telligence and ambition. That was
part Of the claptrap Of the French
revolution.

"If democracy is to secure its au-

leadership for it's own masses"
leadership, Mr.. Hoover says, can

progress far ahead Of the average OF
the mass OF Individual units"
Asserting that the economic de-
velopment of the last half century
has lifted the general standard OF
comfort far higher than the loftiest
dreams OF our forefathers. he says,

they will destroy the foundation Of

Whether Prohibition Results

Mooted Question.
BY EDWARD M. THlERRY

NEW YORK, 9ug. LIS proht-
bitfon 1engthening human life? To
get an unbiased view, the question
was put to officials of five big
life insurance companies whose
business it is to know why people
die and how many are going to
die.
what do your statistics, your
charts and your mortality research
show about the effects of prohibit
tion?" they were asked.
All said there were no statistics
Some thought 1t doubtful whether
the question ever would be an
swered And some intimated
strongly an opinion that prohibit
ton has had no effect whatever on
mortality Statements follow:
James M Craig actuary, Metro
politan Life Insurance Co.:
''It is difficult to tell what in
fluence prohibition has had. Last
year saw the lowest mortality on
record in the United States. But
the same phenomenon occurred in
England, which has no prohibition.
Mortality, on the other hand, was
just as high in America during the
past five years as In the previous
five"
DR.. T. H. Rockwell, medical di-
rector. Equitable Life Assurance
Society:
"It seems to us in our review OF
applications that prohibition has
made no difference. Without ana
Lying causes, we see no difference
in mortality because of prohibit
ton"
John K. Gore. vice president and
actuary, Prudential Life Insurance
Co.:
I'VE can't tell because we can't
get the facts; people do not remem-
Der or they do not tell us what
drinking they do. Applications
show as much drinking as ever,
but we can't tell what the effect
is on mortality. Although mortali-
ty decreased in America last year,
1t also decreased in England"

York Life Insurance Co.:

Former Minister of Austria
Declares Tariff Troub-
ling Central Powers.
By EDWARD NJ. THIERRY

wILLIAMsTowN, Mass, Aug.
11-America's tariff policy is the
biggest thing troubling Germany
and Austria, says DR.. josef Red
Itch, leading Vienna jurist and
former Austrian minister of I'm
ance.
Redlich, one of the lecturers at
the Institute of Politics in session
here this month. made this the
most vital factor of world affairs
when he gave, in an interview,
these forecasts:
World economic peace Cannot
come without American financial
relief to the defeated powers in
the shape of loans and credits.
Financial relief from America
is prohibitive under the tariff
policy now under discussion in
Congress.
Nevertheless Germany and Aus
trla will remain republics.
Hungary will eventually be-
come a monarchy
Attempts to create a Rhine
land republic and a union OF
Bavaria and Austria will fail.
st is difficult" says Redlich.
ITO prophesy the future of Central
Europe where everything is so
unsettled. But it requires no
prophet to say that the entire In
ternationaI structure depends on
America
Depend on o. S. Aid
eve all know we must have
financial support from America
chiefly credits for raw materials
five in Germany and Austria are
to survive
'.And the future is very gloomy
first because no reasonable
man over there expects America
to give financial help until politi-
cal conditions are settled: and
second and most important. be-
cause there cannot possibly be
financial help under Americas
tariff policy.
..Our wish6is for cooperation,
not charity Under existing con-
dltions, no one can say what Will
happen economically in Europe
DR.. Redlich said he thought
there was little prospect OF the
Rhin Gland republic scheme, Just
presented to Premier Poincare by
the French parliament. be1ns
worked out
ut is the same old dream" he
said. France wants a. separate
Rhineland republic and also
union perhaps between Bavaria
and Austria. But LIDO not believe
either will be effected. Austrian
peasants long wanted union
with Germany, chiefly because the
German mark was SO much better
than the Austrian crown. But now
that the mark has fallen so low
they are cold to the idea.
NIonarchist Feeling
"I believe both Germany anc
Austria will continue as separate
republics, although in Germany
the monarchst feeling Is very
strong.
The German republic will en-
dure. based on the organized
working classes as opposed to the
nobility, the upper middle classes
and the professional classes. The
way is not smooth and there will
be fights, but there will be no
overturning.
"Hungary even tually will be-
come a monarchy. Opinion is
pra ctically unanimous for 1t. Ihe
problem to be settled is who shall
be king.
1.-The legitimists want Charles,
eldest Son, some want Admiral
Horthy and others want some one
of the Hapsburg princes.
