the secretary was directed to protest
to the District Commissioners against
the issuing of licenses to parasitical
carnivals and call the situation to

was deemed wise.
We hare delayed making this for
NAL protest pending an investigation
that has been carried on through con-
ferences with officers of citizens as
sociations located in the territory in

Baneful Influence.
1T is not only the local, but seems
to be the universal, experience that
travelling carnfvals exert a baneful
influence upon the economic life of
the community: but, worse than that.
they develop a high state of immor-
ality.
AT conference held in this office
between representatives Of citizens
associations and the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association a recon-
mendation was made and is respect-
fully submitted, that a license fee OF
SooV per DAY Tor each carnival and a
similar amount for each concession
hereunder shall be charged as a
license fee in the District Of Column

Furthermore. that no license shall
be issued until a public hearing is

Many States Closed.
"a number Of states and hundreds
Of municipalities have absolutely
closed their doors to carnivals.
Just at this time Bird s. Coler,
commissioner of public welfare for
Greater New York, is putting through
city ordinance that will keep car
nivals away from New York city.
The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association further petitions the
Commissioners to limit the stay OF
the clrcuses to two days and only
permit one circus in each year.
Further, that restrictions should
be placed so that the circuses shall
not be accompanied by catch-penny
devices similar to those used by the

u. S. LACKS REPORT
ON HELD VESSELS

The State Department lacks con-
firmation of the report in circulation
at Nome, Alaska, that American
ships have been detained by Russian
soviet authorities for infractions Of
trading regulations along the ST.
berian coast. 1t was pointed out at
the department, however, that the
policy of the Washington govern
ment is that American vessels which
place themselves within the terri
torial Jurisdiction of the soviet gov
ernment do so at their own risk, as
the United States government has
not recognized the soviet govern
ment and does not extend its pro-
lection TO American trading ventures
in soviet Russia.
The policy of the United States, it
was pointed out, has been reiterated
frequently in such manner that no
American shipowner or shlpmaster
could be ignorant of the fact that
1t could not take up such questions
with the soviet authorities.
