favorable first impression upon the popu-
lar mind.
President Harding, particularly, by his
failure TO take advantage of the OPP
portunities inherent in his official posi-
ton, has betrayed the latter shortcoming.
Recently an advertising specialist-one
who had observed and vainly tried to
correct a similar fault in President
Taft-undertook to show wherein Presi-
dent Harding was impairing his own
interest by his habit of allowing others
to get the jump on him. in the matter
of publicity,
Mr. Harding has done little more than
merely announce his conviction that the
United States should join the inter
national court on conditions which would
insure this country against entangling
alliances. He has been so rcticent about
his foreign policies that many people
have suspected him of being disin-
genuous.
1t is the effect Of such suspicious that
Secretary Hoover's speech on the inter-
national court proposition may check
and possibly remove. At least, his ex-
position can hardly fail to dispose of
any doubt that may have existed con-
corning the administration consistency.
As a result OF "I-told-vou-so" assertions
by adherents to the Wilson policies, and
of fears expressed by rather inconstant
members of the Republican party, some
people had begun to think that in pro-
posing American participation in the
court President Harding
was abandoning his original position
against entangling alliances.
Not only did Mr.. Hoover explain in
careful detail that the United States,
under the conditions proposed by the
President, could not be forced into any
position deemed inimical to its interest,
and could not even be summoned to any
meeting which it did not desire to at
tend, but he assumed a respectful at
titude toward critics of the administra-
tons plan for promoting world peace.
in short, his speech was admirably dip
lomatic in the best sense, and should
put the issue upon the plane of common
sense, so that the people may be en-
couraged to drop the passions and pref
udices which have played a determining
part in latter-day politics.

"A BELATED EXPOSITION

Whether Americas entry into the
Court of international Justice, under
the conditions proposed by Secretary
Hughes and approved by President
Harding, would be the course of greatest
wisdom in present world circumstances
IS question open to debate-and there
are many who will rush for the opening.
But there can be no gainsaying the as
sertion that Herbert Hoover's recent
speech before the Des Moines conven-
ton OF the National League of Women
Voters IS the most reassuring EXPOSE
ton of the Presidents proposition that
has come from an official source.
Certainly there was need for more
thoroughgoing and clearer exposition
than either Mr.. Harding or Mr.. Hughes
had given. That is, there was such a
need from the standpoint of carving the
plan TO possible success. Just why
neither the President nor the secretary
OF state has assumed an aggressive at
titude with respect to this proposed
foreign policy may possibly be explained
in one of two ways, or in both. They
may have felt hesitancy, on account
of their official positions and also on ac-
count of the fact that they were the
originators OF the plan may have thought
that their aggressive championing of il
would be interpreted as an expression
OF fear that their political enemies were
gaining ground. Or they may have
overlooked the importance OF creating ,

OUTGOING THE PRoDIGAL SON

When a man is BROKE" he may or
NAV not deserve sympathy. 1t depends
upon the manner in which he spent his
substance, and for what. There is this
much to say in negative defense of the
Prodigal Son: 1t was his own funds
that he dissipated in riotous living, and
not funds entrusted to him by friends,
not the funds of dependents.
Moreover, the Prodgal Son returned
to the house of his father. That act
signified his repentance; he was con-
scious of having done wrong-his home
coming was a confession, and presum-
ably the expression of a new resolve.
San Antonio. in narrow meaning OF
the name, is "brokc." The city govern
ment, the Black administration, has spent
its substance On April 16, the opening
day of the Fiesta San Jacinto, it hadn't
enough money to pay for decorating the
city hall with flags The money that
the Black administration has spent, the
substance it has wasted, was not its
own; it was the peoples money, trust
fund to be used for their benefit.
This is San Antonio's feast period.
Happily the city, in the broader sense.
is not dependent upon the municipal
government for the funds required to
meet the expenses of the celebration. If
it was, there could be no feast.
The Prodigal has not returned, has
displayed no signs of repentance, has
made no confession, has professed no
new resolve, but is claiming the rights
of the honor guest at a feast which
the people of San Antonio, whose sub
stance the Prodigal has wasted, are pre-
pairing. The Prodigal demands the fatted
calf, not TO celebrate an abandonment
of prodigal ways, but as tribute to
and endorsement of prodigality.
The Prodigars demand, however, is
being made vicariously. The waster,
the present administration, expressed its
lack of confidence in its prospects when
it failed to make the claim in its own
name. That job was assigned to an
agent.
So, the agent, the so-called Citizens
Ticket, is saying, in effect, to those
who are preparing the feast:
"Kill the fatted calf for the wastrel
administration which has so dissipated
your substance that it has nothing left
even to pay for few flags. The wastrel
hasn't returned, and wouldn't dare make
a direct plea in his own behalf. But l
am here to plead for him. and you must
grant his petition. through me, to show
your expression of prodigalitv and as
an expression of your wish that prodi-
gality be practiced as permanent
policy"

WHOSE POLICY IS IT?

There is no denial of the fact that San
Antonio needs flood protection. There
is, however, wide divergence of opin-
ion as to how the cost of this protection
shall be met The owners Of property
in the down town section which is over
flowed every time there is a flood are
in favor of spreading the expense over
the entire city. The property owners on
the high lands which are in no danger
of floods believe that the property which
receives the greatest amount OF protec-
ton should pay the largest part of the
cost of providing protection.
Several times the candidates on the
Citizens Ticket have declared themselves
in favor of levying the increased taxa
ton which must inevitably follow the
adoption of any system of flood protec-
ton upon all property owners alike.
When the Citizens Ticket was launched
at Beethoven Hall the only business man
of any prominence upon the platform
was l.. ]. Hart. 1t is needless to point
out that Mr.. Hart is vitality interested
in flood protection.
On the night following the opening
meeting of the Citizens Ticket Mr.. Le-
Stourgeon told the people of Denver
Heights that the matter of flood protec-
ton was one that interested "all citizens
of San Antonio alike"
Since that meeting on Denver Heights
Mr.. Simpson, another candidate on
the Citizens Ticket, has told the peo-
pie that flood protection is as much the
affair of the people on the high ground
as it is of the men who own property
that is certain to be overrun whenever
there is flood.
Now what the people of San Antonio
would like to know is whether L. 7. Hart
Is debating the flood prevention policy
of the Citizens Ticket or whether the
candidates on the Citizens Ticket have
agreed to support a flood-prevention
policy advocated by L. 7. Hart.

EFFICIENCY WAGES

On the same day the United States
Supreme Court handed down its opinion
multiplying the minimum-wage law of the
District Of Columbia on the ground that
1t was contrary to the constitution in
that it abridged the right of contract, tile
United States Steel Corporation an
nounced an increase in the wages of
its day laborers. There could be no
cause-and-effect relationship between the
two Incidents In the first place, the
steel corporations announcement came
by wireless from Judge Gary, chairman
of the board of directors, who was on
a ship returning from Europe. Further
more, the announcement had been ex-
pected, though not by the route over
which it came. But most important is
the fact that if the Supreme Courts de-
cision was to have any effect at all upon
wages that effect could logically have
been only the reverse of the steel cor
poration's actions.
But the conjunction of the two Incl
dents is not without significance. Al
though it was coincidence that they
should fall on the same day, there is a
perceptible relationship between the
principle back of the courts decision
and the economic development which
the increase of the steel workers pay
represents.
The latter is confirmatory of an OBJ
servation which TIE LIGHT made in
commenting upon the multiplying of the
minimum-wage law-namely, that Sue
cessful employers are not so foolish
as to think that they can develop or
maintain maximum efficiency, which
means maximum profits to themselves,
by exploiting their employees.
In copyrighted article on the wage
increase in the steel industry, published
in THE LIGHT on the day the two in
cidents mentioned were reported, ap-
pears the following statement:
Business men and employers through
out the country could arouse no en-
thusiasm today over the decision de-
claring the minimum-wage law for wo-
men of the District of Columbia un-
constitutional, although the ruling may
have decided effect in more than a
dozen states, including New York, KAN
sas, California, Oregon, Washington and
Wisconsin.
employers took the attitude that
with demand for labor at the present high
pitch and the trend of wages upward
in nearly every industry, minimum-wage
regulations had little interest either for
them or for their employees"
In the. same article only one definite
result of the wage increase in the stccI
industry is acknowledgements eff
cheney.
In other words, economic laws are
taking their natural course. This means
negatively, that minimum-wage laws ar,
unnecessary with respect to successful
business and industrial enterprises. En-
ployers who know their business" ar,
going to pay the wages that will pro
duce the maximum efficiency and con
sequcntly yield them the greatest profits
Therefore, minimum-wage laws affec
