Captain Randalps Rescue.

1t is very unfair to Captain
ALBERT B. RANDALL of the steamship
Hudson for newspapers and individ-
uals to refer to him as having ire
deemed himself" by rescuing the
crew of the Refine de Mer after that
Freneh schooner had been disabled
in blow off Newfoundland.
Redemption implies atonement for
some previous misdeed, and although
Captain RANDALL was suspended by
his superior for failing to stop and
pick up the three occupants OF a
distressed motor boat off Sandy Hook
several weeks ago he was honor
ably acquitted by the United States
officials of any neglect OF duty or
violation of the laws Of the sea,
written or unwritten. 1t was shown
that he was not aware Of the motor
boats plight.
So the rescue which he has just
put to his credit Of the French ves-
sells crew was no act of redemption
on the part Of Captain RANDALL. 1t
was an act which he would have
performed--just as every Allan
tic skipper is ready for hardy
work-if he had never gone through
the unpleasant experience Of the
motor boat incident. 1t was good
deed, fit to stand alone. But the "re-
demption" talk is silly. Captain
RANDALL has simply emphasized the
justice of the verdict rendered by the
special board Of the United States
Steamboat Inspection Service.

When Dutchmen Borrow.

Hollanders, popularity known the
world over as Dutchmen, speak a
language replete with double vowels
and consonants and tongue twisting
polysyllables, but when It comes to
business they let results speak for
themselves. A little history In the
form of statistics and the articulate
tongue Of arithmetic tells its own
story. In behalf of the Dutch East
Indian Government our bankers have
Just issued a loan for $40,000,000
in twenty-five year per cent. gold
bonds. The circumstances of the is
sue are instructing.
The richly endowed Dutch East
Indian colony was galvanized into
greas commercial activity during the
war. According to the Dutch Minis
ter of Colonies. 8. DE GRAFT, the
East Indian Governments revenue
for 1921. estimated at s267,000, 900,
is equal to more than ten times the
interest and sinking fund charges
of the colony's public debt. The East
Indian currency Is the same as the
Netherlands guilder. It Is at pre-
MUM in most countries but at a
small discount in the United States.
From 1915 to 1920 the Dutch East
indies had q larger favorable trade
balance than any other country ex-
cept the United States. In the fiscal
year ended January 80, 1913, our
trade with the Dutch East Indies
was ss,a7o,oo0. including both ex-
ports and imports. In the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1891, our trade with
the colony was $202,s40,ooo. The
great natural wealth OF the colony,
says the Dutch Minister, has for cen
turies given the islands prominence
In world commerce, "and after more
than three hundred years under
Dutch control IL is to-day one of the
richest OF all colonial possessions"
Here in blunt but eloquent figures
and a little comment is the Dutch
Minister'S version OF romance of
commerce.
n section OF the world is so pros
porous and so abundantly blessed
witlPnatural wealth, why does It need
to borrow abroad? The answer is
20 be found In the history Of our own
development from the time the Union
was a feeble youngster until It be-
came a commercial giant.
We qualify as the equal or the su-
perior of the East Indies In natural
wealth, in revenues and I'm stability
OF government. Our foreign trade
balance is favorable and has been
so for many decades. Our people are
industrious. Commercial genius is
one of our standard products. Yet
we owed between four and eight bill
ions of dollars when the war began
in 1914. all of It borrowed from for.
eign creditors TO promote peaceful
undertakings for our own welfare.
We had the energy: the natural
wealth lay everywhere around us.
The capital we obtained abroad.
The Dutch East Indies are follow
ing the same trail. The war brought
tho colony great prosperity. But to
Dutchman vantage gained Is no ex-
cuse for holiday. II is spur 10
further achievement. The arithme.
tic of past success is to these stolid
men OF business living prophecy OF
the future.

FRIDAY. JANUARY 6, 1929.
The Presidents Bloc Warning.

President HARDING has expressed
CAPpER his very strong dissent from
the proposal of the agricultural bloc
to force him by legislative act to ap-
point farmer to the Federal Re-
serve Board. 1t is understood that
he warned them he would veto any
bill of the kind coming to him.
The President would be justified
in taking the same stand. and there
is no doubt he would take 1t,
against any other special Congress
group that presumed to force the ap-
pointment of a steel manufacturer,
say, or banker or shipbuilder or
a miner or an oil producer. He would
be justified in summoning the lead
ers of such bloc, whatever interest
it might represent, and warning it
that he would veto its compulsory
measure.
The Chief Executive could not ad-
minister his Office as it is both his
right and his duty to administer it
under the fundamental law OF the
nation il Congress prescribed from
what occupations or classes he must
appoint his aids to carry out his poll
cies and programs. He could not
llo his work to his own satisfaction
or to the satisfaction of the country
if Congress dictated what he should
do and how he should do It.
The Constitution Of the United
States as clearly defines the functions
and the powers of the President as it
defines the functions and the powers
Of Congress. 1f fraction OF Con-
gress or If Congress as unit under.
takes to infringe the prerogatives Of
the Executive the President must re-
sist the encroachment upon his Office
or he would become no more than
mere flgurehead for legislative
usurpers and there might as well be
no President at all.
The same thing is true Of the func-
tions and the powers of Congress.
Congress could not permit the Chief
Executive to become It's master and
iay down its work for it to perform
submissively. without defaulting
upon its sworn oath OF Office while
surrendering its manhood and self.
respect.
SO far as concerns the farmers in
this controversy between the Execu-
tive and the agricultural bloc OF the
Senate, there never has been q Presi-
dent more sollcltous OF their welfare
end more active in trying to work
out their best interests than Mr.
HARprye. There never has been a
President who has more strongly i'm
pressed upon Congress and upon the
country the things which the farm
ers need to continue their essential
and the first national industry on
prosperous and stable basis. And
President HARDrNG might have it IL
mind. for all we know, to nominate
at his own instance farmer or some
one OF a close intimacy and under
standing with the agricultural in
dustry to help carry out his views
of what ought to be done and must
be done for the American farmer.
But when the leaders OF Senate
bloc badly propose to make the nomi-
ration for him by legislation, as II
were, it is time for the President OF
the United States to take a firm
stand, and nobody viii doubt that
tho American people will stand by
him to the last ditch.

GLIMPSE INTO NEW YORK
cITY'S EVENING SCHOOLS

To those who know little concern

years by the evening schools in our
great cities, it will be surprising to
learn that there are now actually over
1875, 900 regular students enrolled in
the after-hours schools Of New York
City alone. The ages Of these stu
dents range from sixteen to sixty,
and in nationality they include prach-
cally every country on the face OF

nifty means to the night school stu

ambition to prevail over the physical
languor Of bodily fatigue, for al

one thing in common-the desire to
obtain power through self-expression.
