high state of mobility and efficiency. Through the Red Cross the people of America furnish assurance in advance to all afflicted peoples everywhere of prompt service and relief. Within forty-eight hours after the disaster fifty American ships were rushing sup plies and relief forces to Japan. This was a remarkable example of prompt ness and mobility.
 And now, with the proclamation of President Coolidge calling for the con- tributions that he knows will be forth coming for this emergency, the people are directed to give their money to the local chapters or to send it directly to the national Red Cross headquar- ters in Washington. Two hundred thousand, perhaps a quarter of a mil lion, industrious and unoffending per sons were suddenly cut down in the midst of their activities, and hundreds of thousands have been rendered homeless and destitute almost in B twinkling. Human sympathy bridges the widest seas and spans the most dispartite racial chasms when disaster falls. The little brown man is in agony of both flesh and spirit, because of the convulsions of nature. His plight cries out to our humanity and mercy, and we were not true to our training or our ideals did we fail to respond in proportion to the need.

senate follow the example of the leg islature of Louisiana and give it's at- tention, not to picayunish hindrances to a constructive program, but to making assurance doubly sure that there will be chosen commission of men of demonstrated business ability, who shall be left free to carry out the public will with respect to Alabama s seaport.
 It is reported that majority of the senate committee voted against the seaport amendment. The senate should beware of pitfalls, lest it turn this great enterprise over to it's en- emies. Let the senate fear the Greeks even when they bring gifts, for those gifts may conceal the destruction of all our seaport hopes. <Let. the whole debate be recorded in order that the people may know which servants obey and which defy the popular will.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-09-06
GREECE COURTS INQUIRY

Italy's conduct with respect to the controversy with Greece appears de- signed to prolong the conflict rather than to bring it promptly to a peace ful settlement. For example, her min istels hold that for the league to take up the question would imply recogni- tion of the Greek government which has not formally been recognized by the league. Such an objection IS So artificial and technical as to make 1t evident that it but masks deeper reason. If the de facto Greek gov ernment manifests a desire to avail It. self of the leagues good offices, that surely is a compliment to the league and right in line with the general un- derstanding of the leagues purpose. Surely the league is not an exclusive affair which will extend its good of- fices only to those members Tn good and regular standing. On the con- trary, the league contemplates fune' ton as peacemaker among all nations submitting to its ministrations, be they members of the league or not, and of course Greece is member.
 The Greek government has ex- pressed desire to have the contro- versy adjudicated by the league and has agreed in advance to abide by any decision of the league and to pay any indemnity the league may fix. The Italian government, on the other hand, asserts that the whole affair was a plot of the Greek government. With this accusation and denial before is, the world cannot but be inclined to the side of the nation which says that it has nothing to fear from an investi- gation, but courts it.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-09-06
THE VETERANS DESERVE IT

The measure before the legislature to increase pensions to the Confed- crate veterans is founded on a duty which the state owes these worthy men now in their declining years. They gave the best that was in them, faced death and endured many hardships for Alabama. There are not many of them left, and their number is rapidly decreasing. In a few years there will be none. Some are helpless and de- pendent. The amount asked for them is small, and will become smaller as the state grows richer. With the large appropriations made for many other purposes Alabama would scarce ly miss the funds necessary to give these veterans each seventy-five dol lars a quarter with which to meet their pressing needs during the rest of their lives. This would be a recognition of the valor of these veterans and of the valiant services they rendered Athe state. A great and prosperous state like Alabama could easily contribute this small amount to bring comfort and happiness to the men who risked their lives in defense of the state.
