YHNHE Department of Commerce ofGally corroborates
IL what has become general observation when it
says: The past few years have been marked by
precedented movement-almost world-wide-for the
revision customs tariffs and the imposition of more
exacting regulations the shipment OF goods between
countries"
Needless to say these revislons without exception
have been upward doughty an old free trader
John Bull used be- having discovered the need for
tariff law which is considerably higher than our own
Delawareans no doubt will realize that the principal
motives to which the Department OF Commerce attrb-
utes this worldwide revision upward OF tariffs are the
intensified nationalstic sentiments stimulated in many
countries by the with desire for self
sucienoy the need for increased national revenues on
the part OF many impoverished and debt-laden coun-
tries; and in cases the desire to control imports
and exports for the Of maintaining more IA
vorable balance OF trade, bring an improve

or extreme to prevent excessive outflow OF
goods from the country.
These motives suggest many things For instance
could genuine movement subordinatng the ma

nationalistic sentiments were pronounced? How
could universal free hoped for oonte porane-

One thing stands forth pre-eminenty as an out
growth Of the World War that is that the working
classes Of America find their condition greatly i'm

anywhere near marked. In a few the working

More Light on Boyden
CTrom the New York Tribune.)

| January Il last the Secretary cabled
Mr.. Boyden that when the question
I OF making a reply to Germany
should come up IN the commission
he should refrain from expressing
any opinion and from urging the
consideration of his suggestions in
the absence OF instructions from
the department" On January Is
Mr.. Hughes sent a second message,
repeating by request that no opin-
ion should be expressed and no
plan submitted without express di-
rections from 6he department; also
that the mem orandum had in no
sense received the approval OF the
department"
The departments attitude was
correct. But Mr.. Royden had tax
en- It upon himself to deliver on
January a speech in which. while
he admitted that any reprisals
which might be taken in conse-
Quenoe of Germany's voluntary de-
faults would be entirely legal, he
maintained that they would re-
main unproductive and therefore
represented an error OF Judgment.
He had no excuse for injecting his
personal opinions on these points.
since the United States, which IS
demanding It's s25O,0OO.000 from
Germany in settlement OF occupa-
tion advances. Is in no position to
criticize other governments for try
Ing 20 collect much larger repara-
tions advances. Mr.. Boyden failed
to recognize the limitations under
which he Is operating. That is a
very serious disqualification for any
one practicing diplomacy, either Of |
hcially or unofficlally.
Evening journal., 1923-01-30

Secretary Hugnes's letter to Sen
ator Lodge shows that Mr.. Boyder
ana his Paris stan have been per-
forming useful functions. They are
\ keeping track OF the Reparation
Commissions work because what
the commission does affects many
I American interests.
Mr.. Hughes gives a list of the
subjects on which Mr. Boyden re-
ports. The first OF them is the pos
sibility OF recovering from Germany
the costs OF the American occupa-
ton In the Coblenz sector. Our un-
paid bill for this service is some-
thing like S25O.OO0,OOO. Mr.. Boy
den informed Washington last year
that no provision was being made
by the commission for the allotment
20 the United States of its share of
the receipts from Germany on the
occupation account The result
was a vigorous American protest,
which led TO a promise from the
commission to give satisfactory
recognition TO our reimbursement
claim. A conference will be held
shortly on this subject. Mr.. Wads-
worth. Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury, representing this country.
Mr.. Boyden has plenty OF work
to do. The chief mistake he has
made so far has been in not sticking
to his Job and following his instruc-
tions. 1t is clear from Mr.. Hughes's
letter that the State Department did
not indorse the Boyden memoran-
andum relating to a reparation
compromise. This was a personal
prepared by our unof-
oial observer at the suggestion OF
members OF the commission. On

GAMERS BY PERSECUTION.

From the New York Tribune.
Nothing IS more calculated to
make the Ku-Kluxers OF New York
take themselves seriously than ar
resting them in squads for no just
reason. Furthermore, such proce-
dure is likely to make other people
take them seriously. And that is a
consummation which the members
of the Klan devoutly wish.
The POSSESSION OF flowing cos
tunes, to be worn inside a lodge
hall. is certainly not a crime.
Neither IS there any ground for ar
resting eight men who happen to be
riding in an automobile whose driver
has a blackjack with him.
The evidence brought out the fact
that the blackjack was carried by
the chauffeur because he feared
highway robbery; but there was not
the slightest indication that his pas
sengers were highway robbers or
had any intention to indulge in that

A FEDERAL DIVORCE LAW.

From the New York Herald.
Senator Car2er's proposal Of a
Federal marriage and divorce law is
basically sound. even II a constitu-
tional amendment should be neces-
sary TO stand behind it. The varia-
ton OF the State laws on these
! important matters has led TO con-
fusion and scandal.
divorce and marriage, finds Itself
Carolina, where there are no di-
vorces, and Nevada, where divorce IS
easy. we find forty-six States. two
Territories and the District OF Col
umbia each with a divorce law un-
like that Of any other. Divorce IS
granted in New York for only one
cause, but in the neighbOr State Of
Connecticut cruelty or habitual
drunkenness is sufficient for the
breaking OF the marriage bond.
The difference in the marriage
laws OF the several States is almost
las great as that OF the divorce stat
utes. Five States permit girls to
marry at the age OF IL years. Four
allow the marriage OF boys Of Il. In
ten States a young man may we'd at

the others he must be 81. Girls OF
16 can become wives in two States
without parental blessing. but there
are nine States where they must be

Judgment
Each State has its own law or no
law at all regarding the marriage OF
first cousins and the intermarriage
OF whites, Indians, Negroes and
members of the yellow races.
One nation, which ough to have
a common mind upon the subject OF
divorce and marriage, finds itself
with forty y-eight minds. The stern
est OF the States regarding divorce
does not by its statute prevent its
citizens from finding what they
want IN States whose laws are lax.
II a nation can say TO its forty
eight States that their citizens shall
no drink intoxicating liquor surely
It can say TO them that they shall
be governed by a uniform law in
their marriages and breaking OF
marriage.
