Better Times on the Turf.

At the time the anti-betting legis-
lation in New York State caused many
OF the largest thoroughbred studs In
the United States TO be broken up
and their stock TO be sold at bargain
prices In the Argentine. Australia,
France and Germany few persons
supposed that within a decade forty
three American yearlings would
bring S2t4,3O0. an average OF S4,073.
and that a single horse would sell for
as much as $4,000. These results,
obtained at the Saratoga Springs
yearling sale last week, justified the
courage of those sportsmen and
breeders who kept the sport alive in
a period when there was little but
gloom and ruin on the horizon.
1t was a time OF peril for the blood
stock industry of the country. The
registration Of thoroughbred foals
with the Jockey Club dropped from
more than 5000 to a trifle more than
1900 in a single year With thor
oughbreds selling for the prices Of
cold blooded horses there was no In
centive TO breed the better types.
Stations and mares were sent to
France and England by WILLIAM X.

Clash Over u. S. Policy on Cables
Institute Speakers at Odds Question of Government
Control in Development of Communications

America nizing our insular possessions
on properly dealing with our colonial
empire. for that is the proper term,
whether we like 1t or not.
1.-THE commercial cable companies are
in business to make money, and that
Is perfectly proper. In fact any or
their officers who aren't trying to make
money for their companies ought to be
fired. But what We have TO remember
here Is that the British Government and
the French Government and the jap
anese Government ve<undertaken the
development of communications sys-
TENS and that whenever and wherever
these other Governments systems put
the business men of the United States,
or the press Of the nation. or the mill
tary interests of the United States, or
It's political interests at disadvantage,
either in the matter of service or rates.
there is a problem here which may
have to be dealt with.
I'VE have duty to consider whether
the proper dissemination OF American
news, In the interests of international
undertaking and the provision Of prop
eriy equalized facilities to our business
men, may not Justify the United States
seeing to 1t that those facilities are sup
piled, even though commercial COM
panies may be able to make a private
profit out of them.
IF that is the issue to which you are
prepared to speak to the Institute of
Politics. which is considering American
relationships to the problems OF inter-
national politics, 1t is ready to hear you
But as / understand it. If you speak as
special pleader Tor any private inter-
est, the institute OF politics is not the
place for this representation"
DIR. Pupin had prepared an address,
but did not deliyer 1t because Mr.. Rogers
occupied most of the hour and a half
DR.. Pupin later said that the whole
question ought TO be considered in its
technical aspects. Radio and cable
services are young arts he said, land
as such ought not to be brought up by
any government. No government has
ever made a good mother to young
art"
Raymond Recouly OF France concluded
his series of lectures with an address on
press propaganda in international poll
stics.
DR.. r. M. Anderson OF the Chase Ma
tional Bank, New York, outlined a plan
for the rehabilitation of Europe at the
round table, discussing that problem.
His proposal called for British and
American aid to continental Europe, but
insisted on reforms In continental Eu-
rope as essential conditions of such aid

tions, at least. refer to several
women leaders. The Iroquois have

reign, while one Of severity, was
marked by conquests and progress;
the Sioux tell of a maiden in white
who came out OF the north and led
them so successfully in war that she
was placed over the head of every
other chief, and Spanish explorers
mention Indian women who ruled
wisely in Mexico and Central Amer
lea. Who knows but that somewhere
in the past there may not have been
among the Indians Queen Elizabeth,
an Empress Catherine or dominant
Semiramis? Perhaps II one of these
had lived and ruled after the white
man came the fate of the American
Indian might have been different
from what it is.

Secretary Hughes in Brazil.

Secretary Of State HUGHES started
yesterday for Brazil on a mission
of international congratulation and
amity which sustains the traditional
disinterested policy of the United
States in its relations with the other
political entities Of the Americas.
The occasion of his trip is the one
hundredth anniversary Of the estab-
Iishment of Brazil's independence. The
Government at Washington could not
have selected as its envoy to felici-
tete the people and Government Of
Brazil in the name of the people and
Government of the United States a
citizen better qualified by dignity of
cfflcial place and by personal fitness
than is CHARLES e. HUGHES.
To create community of political
interest and to maintain cordial
friendship among the free Powers Of
the Americas has been one Of the
most studiously cherished purposes
of the United States since the repub-
lies now in brtng in the New World
came into existence.
The diplomacy of Washington has
been directed toward the attainment
of concord and the establishment of
understanding. Differences in racial
temperament and divergent national
ambitions have sometimes produced
misconceptions as to the actual in
tentions Of various nations, but
through the years there has grown
up confidence In the integrity and
loyalty of the Powers concerned
which has made for sound relations.
This confidence was put to the test
in the war, with results highly graft
flying to those who hope for solidarity
Of purpose on the part Of republican
America. 1t should be cherished by
all to whom world progress is an
ideal worth striving for.

Motor Cars the World Wants.

The automobile continues to con-
quer the world. From remote COR
ners of the globe reports are reaching
the Department of Commerce that
the sales Of cars and motor trucks
are mounting. In the land Of the
pyramids motor transportation of all
kinds received a considerable impe-
tus during 1921. Taxicabs are in
especial favor there. In Alexandria
there are more than 1000 passenger
cars, of which 234 are taxicabs. In
Cairo there are about 1900, of which
308 are taxicabs.
Sweden is interested in light
trucks and in low priced and medium
priced passenger cars. The market
in Shanghai shows signs of recovery,
with the greatest demand for me-
dunn priced cars. In Belgium the
number of motor vehicles. including
motorcycles, has steadily increased
during the last year. Japan has
launched new type of electric cycle
car, a one scatter, the parts of which
are mostly manufactured in Germany
and assembled in japan. In the Chi
huahua district Of Mexico there has
been an increase in passenger auto
mobiles OF 100 per cent. over the pre-
ceding year. In Burma there is a
large demand for motorcycles, al
though because of glutted market
and lack OF road building the sales
of automobiles have fallen of.
Perhaps Japan's electric cycle car
will displace the jinriksha, and the
sheiks Of Arabia will play the cave
man in two seaters. Apparently the
day is coming when spare parts will
be procurable at the repair stations
which will stand under the lee of
Mount Everest and along the upper
reAches OF the Congo.

Special Dispatch to The New YoRK HERALD.
WILLIAMsTowN, Mass, Aug. 24.-The
round table on international electrical
communication services was the scene
of a spirited debate to-day between
Walter s. Rogers. American delegate to
the International Communications Con-
ference In 1920. and Prof. Michael /.
Pupin OF Columbia University.
Mr.. Rogers, as chairman OF the
round table, asked Prof. Pupin IL he
had any objection to the American Cow
ernment making a study of its needs in
world communications for military,
commercial, political and press uses
DR.. Pupin replied in the negative.
Then" said Mr. Rogers, 'let me ask
you: When such study has been
made and the American Government
has determined what its vital needs are,
have you any objection TO the Govern
ment then saying to the private COM
mercial companies. Here are our needs !;
any and ell OF them which you wish to
supply and will agree TO supply are
yours. to meet with the Governments
blessing; as to those which you say
you can't meet. the Government re-
serves the right to consider how they
shall be metz"
"No. / don't deny that" said DR..
Pupin. but 1 say that the commercial
companies have already formulated a
program"
DIR. Pupin said that he understood
from dispatch i'm THE NEW YORK
HERALD that Mr.. Rogers had said that
the United States had no comprehensive
program and IL was that statement that
he wished to challenge
Mr.. Rogers replied that the statement
was correct and that DR.. Pupin had no
right to draw differences from his re-
marks
He said that by the United States he
meant the Government and not private
commercial cable companies. "Dr. Pu-
pin" he proceeded. you either don't
understand me or don't wish to under
stand me. OF course the companies
have already laid out a program of
what they think is best for their COM
mercial needs. They have done all
this. But here at this Institute of
Politics we are not considering the
question from the point of view of
any one private company. We are con-
sidering world wide communications
from the point of view of what is best
for the Government and people OF the
United States in the military, COM
mercial and political aspects of the
problem.
1--WE are considering. to take a con-
crete example, the critical question OF

In Ireland.

1t cannot be said that there Is opti-
mism in Ireland; grief over the
death Of MICHAEL COLLINS has
clouded everything. But at least
there seems to be determination. The
men who stood behind the two great
chiefs that have passed from the tur-
bulent scene are moving forward to
take up their work.
The leadership that lived in COL
LISs and GRIFFITH cannot be replaced
at once. No political mind has thus
far appeared that is the equal OF
either of theirs. But the Free State
has a military leader In RICHARD
MuLcAHY, and perhaps II is a good
soldier rather than great thinker
that Ireland needs at the moment.
The guerrilla warfare Of the irrecon-
cilables must be met with strength.
Surely the sentiment and man power
OF the 80 per cent. of southern Ire
land that favor the Free State can,
under the guidance of an experienced
soldier like MULcAHy, put down the
insurrection which threatens the
veryexistence of stable government.
DR.. SMrDDY, who represents the
Free State in this country, believes
that CoLLrSs's death will stimulate
the leaders who remain to initiate
their dead chieftain and collectively
make up for his loss. Everybody who
wishes to see the new Ireland sue
cessful will hope that DR.. SMrDDY is
right

This year Mr.. Dix has found that he

Mr.. Dix planted almost every tree IN
that portion OF the estate which is un-

from the surroundings with which he
has had so much to do impelled him
to accept tenancy In part OF ms o.a

Department or Agriculture Bulletin.
Although the practicability of beaver
farming has not been fully demonstrated
the United States Department OF Agrf-
culture believes that the business OF rails

to promise an advance to good returns

A fertile field for beaver culture may
be found In connection with projects for

or cut over timberlands. Many OF these
areas, cleared by AK or fire and later
covered with a second growth OF aspen,
willow and pin cherry. are for the time
considered almost worthless.

Vermont Justice Active.
1t Furnishes Assaults on Men Who
Choose to Work.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Up in the
beautiful little village Of Lyndonville
VT. IN Boston and Maine Railroad gave
employment to about 500 men, mostly
well paid skilled men. until July last,
when the shopmen went on strike. Since
that time there have been hired by the
management from one-fourth TO one-half
OF that number to take the places or
the striking men,
For the most part the strikers in this
little village are and have been orderly,
iawabiding citizens, although the rail-
road management has as precaution
guarded. Recently there have been sew
sral assaults on the new men by strik-
ers or sympathizers with the strikers.
and in each case the offender has been
promptly handled.
This section of the country appears to
be rather fortunate In having some fear
less old fashioned officers of the law
who seem to be doing their duty Ger
tainly Judge Harry Blodsett of the Ma
nicipal Court seems to regard these as
saults in their true light. / inclose a
clipping from the Cdledonian-Reco of
st. Johnsbury which gives an account
of the sentence to State prison for four
months of one of party that assaulted
non-striker. Three other men are In
jail for similar offenses. One can but
wonder whether il Herrin. H., had ofti-
GERS like Judge Blodgett, Sheriff Wor-
then and State Attorney Campbell the
story of that massacre might not read
differently. A few hundred men like
these officers scattered over the States
would no doubt make assaults upon
honest workers little more unpopular
than they now seem to be.

late Theodore n. Vail, and through his
influence some years ago the shops We're

Bonus Silence in Ohio.

Ohio is normally Republican, but
its voters have an independent way
with them.
In 1920 the Republican candidate
for President carried Ohio by more
than 100000. OF course it was his
own State, but it was his opponents
own State too.
In that same election Ohio chose
a solid Republican delegation-twen-
tyetwo members-to the House of
Representatives.
The Ohio Republican State con-
vention met on Wednesday. 1t, sent
affectionate greetings to the Presi-
cent. 1t commended the Administra-
tion for its brilliant and vigorous for
eign policy. 1t applauded the budget
system, the reduction of the public
debt and the advance in the price Of
Liberty bonds.
But this enthusiastic meeting of
Republicans said never a word in
favor of the bonus grab.
OF course there isn't anything
favorable to say about the bonus
unless you are bonus statesman
bent on buying votes with the pub
lies money. In that case you can
stand up and humble any sort of
nonsense.
Evidently the Republican State
convention in Ohio knows what the
taxpayers of Ohio are thinking about
the bonus grab and it's supporters.

Unwilling Strikers.
Observations Among Railroad Shop
men i'm Several Cities.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: A corre-
spondent OF your paper makes a guess
that possibly the count OF the railroad
shopmen's strike vote may not have
been accurate. A secret count Of a
secret ballot is always open to suspi-
cion, and especially is that true of or
ganizations whose strike votes are al
most always nearly unanimous in favor
of strike.
or course one swallow does not make
a summer and the limited observations
of one man cannot count for much for
purposes of generalization. but. such as
what they are worth.
1t happened that Just before and at
the time OF the walkout on July I was
located at a large railroad repair shop
near Chicago and had an opportunity
to talk with a number of the men be-
fore and after the start of the strike.
In all my conversations / failed to find
one who wanted to strike. and some
oven tried to got permission to remain
at work for outside parties
Asked why they were going out. the

After the strike had started / came
into contact with shopmen at a number
of places trailing down from Chicago
to. Tennessee and thence back to New
York, but I failed to nnd willing
striker. or course there are willing
strikers. but wonder how many, and
what pressure was put upon the un-
willing ones to vote to strike.
The whole situation is one fruitful of
conjecture. GEORGE L. FOWLER.

Meanwhile, No Hard Coal.


The passage of a bill creating
commission to find the facts about the
coal industry is assured. Whether It
he Representative WINsLow's meas
ure or Senator BoRAH's is matter
less important than getting at the
facts.
Once armed with knowledge Of all
the mines, the cost of production at
each and the conditions of wages and
living among the miners, the Govern
ment will be in a position to handle
the coal question as 1t should be
handled.
This country will never see a steady
supply of coal at honest prices, steady
employment for the right number of
fairly paid men and steady, reason
able profits for the mine owners until
the mines of this country are consid-
cred as one unit instead Of several
thousand units.
We shall not see the last Of strik-
ing and shivering until the coal mines
are consolidated into a few regional
groups with standardized production
and prices: groups privately owned
but publicly controlled.
Any investigation which does not
lead to a reconstruction Of the coal
business on efficient lines will be a
mere picking at the surface of grave
problem.
There can be no legislation that
will force men to work, but there
can and should be legislation which
will so reorganize the coal industry
that strikes will disappear and the
public be rid of its annual fear.
OF course no commission can fill
the empty anthracite bins Of to-day.
To a great degree the country, In
the words of President HARDING to
Congress last week, lis at the mercy
OF the United Mine Workers" Those
United Mine Workers, as they are
reflected in the acts of their chief,
JOHN Ii lSfWlS, al . ShoWih6 hOishSa
mercy nor justice.
The reason that the anthracite
mines are not working again is that
LEWIS has rejected every fair pro-
posal. The operators offered con-
tract running until next April at the
old scale. They offered to leave to
the Anthracite Board of Cancellation
the determination of wages after
that; and the Board of Concilia-
tion Is made up of three miners and
three operators.
Not for LEWIS! He haughtily re-
fused anything less than contract
running at the high wages until April
/. 1924. No arbitration for him
he is the sole arbiter.
So New York. which hasn't enough
lard coal in its cellars to keep
Il warm one winter day, knows where
the blame lies, just as the whole ap-
prehensive country knows.

Wealth From the Farm.
Other Sources of Income Small Com.
pared With Agriculture.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The
American farmer Is a greater financier
than the Wall Street operator, and IL
ne were to pool his earnings he would
have sufficient to purchase every rail-
road in the United States. The Ameri-
can farmer took s14.755, 900 900 out OF
the soil last year, according to the re-
port of the Secretary of Agriculture.
This sum would pay for every rail
laid, every car and engine used pay for
all equipment and all the officers sala-
ries besides. These figures mean that
the yield of the soil lacks s95.631 900
of equaling the total wealth of New
York State.
The corn crop alone represents more
dollars than the total earnings OF all
city. The cotton crop last year would
start seven banks as large as the New
York Federal Reserve and have enough
left to buy a dozen national banks. The
hens laid enough eggs to pay for the
building of another $4,000. 900 subway
In New York city.
1t is the farmer and not the financier
who has caused two tracks to be laid
throughout the United States where only
one was laid before. Besides the farmer
keeps the balance OF trade abroad in
our favor by exporting 100000. BOO
worth of produce.
wall Street goes on betting in the
meantime on the rise and fall OF its
own quotations, obiivious OF the fact
that SO. 900. 100000 worth Of corn and
half as much wheat. grown somewhere
out West by plain people whose names

factors in the prosperity OF the rail-
roads and supply the sinews Of national
industry. EDoAR l.. CApr.
