SHOWDOWN SOON FOR MIR, HUGHES

Secretary Of State Hughes denies that he is about to resign
from the cabinet. We cannot help but wonder, however, how long
such a man as Mr., Hughes can stick it out. He is not the kind of 8
man to p~ussyfoot and dodge an issue; neither is he to be dictated
to. He has shown a fearlessness and a determination in the past
that has given the public the greatest confidence in him. He start
cd his career as secretary Of state in a way that gave the impress
sion that he would be a second Richard Olney or John Hay. 1t is
10 be hoped that those expectations will not be blasted.
There are indications, however, of friction in high places over
ne handling Of the foreign affairs of the nation. Secretary Hughes
had well defined ideas about such matters when he took office.
But these ideas have not yet been materahzed. On the contrary,
the influence of Senator Lodge and the others in the battalion of
DEATH seems to prevail.
President Harding Is placed in the predicament of breaking
with the senate leaders with whom he worked so long when he was
a member Of that body, or of going against his chief cabinet adj
wiser. Sooner or later the President has got to choose. Mr.. Hughes
is a man who will either be secretary of state or he will get out. He
rs doubtless giving the President every opportunity to make up his
mind with whom he will stand. But knowing Mr.. Hughes as we do,
me showdown has got to come sooner or later.

Not once during his Washington

Wherefore, whenever Harvey
wished to confer with Secretary OF
State Hughes, he did not simply put
on his hat and stroll across the mar

House from the State Department.
Instead, the White House Pierce

COOPERATIVE MARKETING
TOLD OF BY HASKIN
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

sin acreage Of the state was signed
up, and in six years the association
increased the consumption of raisins
in this country from $4,000 tons a
year to 100000.
More over, where the California
grower formerly got only 8 cents of
the consumers dollar he now gets
&c cents, and this J as been accom-
plished because cooperative market
ing means merchandising a product
instead of dumping it.
Success in New Hampshire
1t is a far cry from California to
New Hampshire, but the New Eng
land State has tackled the problem
in a spirit akin to that of the West
and in two years has made substan-
tial progress in what is claimed to
be the first statewide experiment in
cooperative marketing. Frank Knox
editor of the Manchester Union, has
been actively identified with this
movement which, he says, IF sue
cessfully pursued, leads to economic
restoration of agriculture as :. great
industry and consequent great and
permanent prosperity for the state
as a whole"
Shortly after the experiment was
started in New Hampshire, Mr..
Knox went to Europe and while
there he made a close study of the
cooperative marketing methods in
Denmark. He wrote a series of ar
ticles on the subject which were
published in his newspaper and have
served to stimulate interest in the
movement,

have as yet supplied less than fifty
per cent. of the capital needed to
carry it on. A small group of p~b-
lie spirited men have shouldered
the burden and have found 1t neces-
sary repeatedly to use their personal
credit to tide the association over
periods of embarrassment.
Mr.. Knox is now making a. drive
to enlist the active support of busi-
ness men, bankers and manufac-
turers of his state in a manner o e.
what similar to the way they have
been brought into the cooperative
movement in California. Recently
he published an appeal in which he
said:
"a few men, a very few men, have
been %zealously and unselfishIy back
ing this project. It's success means
more to them than it does to any
group OF similar size that might be
gathered together. If the expet1-
ment is successful they will share in
the general advantage which comes
to the steSe as a whole, no more and
no less.
This small group ought not to be
asked to carry this vital work on
alone. It ought to have the I'M
qualified and enthusiastic co-opera-
ton of such bodies as the State Man
u~facturers' Association, the State
Bankers Association, the State Con-
ference of Chambers Of Commerce,
the State Grange and the State Fed
Grafton of Farm Bureaus.
This is primarily an appeal for
all of the varied interests of the
state to support a movement that
Secretary Hoover accurately defines
as the greatest hope of future agri-
cultural prosperity in the United
States"

JOHN J, WHELAN

john j. Whelan who died in Elizabeth yesterday, was identi
fled with Perth Amboy business interests almost as closely as he
was with interests in Elizabeth. As president of the board of di-
rectors of the Perth Amboy Gas Light Company and as a director
Of the FIRST National Bank here, he played an important part in the
affairs of this city. While he did not take a prominent part in the
civic life of the community, doubtless because he was not a resident
here, he was always deeply interested in everything that went on
here and welded not a little influence locally.
Mr.. Whelan was particularly interested in seeing that the city
and not some private concern got control of the gas works property
on the water front in the southern section of the city. He saw the
Importance of having this tract pass into the possession of the peo-
pie and did everything he could to further this project. Perth
Amboy still has this opportunity and although Mr.. Whelan did not
live to see the project carried out, il iii to be hoped that his efforts
IN this direction will not have been in vain.
Mr.. Whelans death is a loss to both Elizabeth and Perth Am
nov. He was a man of much ability, a steadfast friend and a
worthy cuizs. Iha plaeas Ct MGh Man, 90 haxd 70 FL.

ADVENTUROUS CREW TO FILM
 SAYACES IN PACIFIC ISLES

SAN FRANCISCO, March 31.- Twenty men, average age 40, have sailed from San Francisco on the old whaler Narwhal for the South Seas to fulfil a childhood dream of riches to be gained through adven- ture. But not by recovery Of buried pirate gold or robbery of native pearl divers do they hope to accomplish their purpose.
 l Theirs will be a modern way-the enforced motion picture photography of savage tribes, said to be cannibals. 1 Against the savages' poisoned arrows they are prepared to match the white mans firearms.
 Among the crew are Russian count and three former naval officers and two former Army officers of the United States. Several of the men have college degrees; most Of them fought in the American or British i forces in the World War; few are of mature age, retired from business. Their vessel, the Narwhal, is three masted bark. Stoutly built of oak in 1883, it's history includes seal poach ing and whaling in the Arctic. It's tonnage is 523, and length, including bowsprit, is 165 feet. To purchase the boat and supplies the twenty men incorporated themselves, each contri- outing $500. Their corporation is called "The Mutual Trading Com pany."
 Captain Charles l.. Arey, member of the corporation, commands the Narwha1 Once he took it into the Arctic on whaling cfuise. During the war he was a lieutenant com mander in the United States Navy. His mate and three able seamen are the paid members of the present ex- petition to the South Seas. None of the twenty adventurers ever pre- viously sailed before the mast, but all have had sea experience. 1 The cargo carried by the Mar whal includes two tons of dynamite, considerable gasoline, much sacked coal, motion picture films and lum- ber One of the crew remarked that in event of disaster they would go up, not down.
 ] The Narwhal will touch first at Honolulu. From there it will pro ceed to Pago Pago, American Samoa, where the dynamite will be delivered
The Cordova daily times., 1923-03-31

to the United States Navy. At Apia,
 British Samoa, the last of the cargo will be discharged.
 Leaving Samoa, the Narwhal will
 set sail for islands seldom visited by white men - island of romantic legend, of languorous breezes and love, of typhoons and cruel death. These islands are in the New Gale
 donia, New Hebrides, Solomon and New Guinea groups.
 To obtain pictures of the islands
 and their people, the Narwhals crew
 declared themselves willing to under go any hardships, and to take any risks Their vessel will anchor near
 the shore, and in a power launch
 party will go ashore and proceed to
 the interior.
 With trinkets they will attempt to
 conciliate the savages, but if hostility
 be shown they are prepared to defend themselves with revolvers and rifles One of the party is an experienced motion picture photographer, and it is from pictures that he will take that the members of the corporation crew expect to make their chief profit, if there is to be any.
 From the many islands visited the Narwhal is expected to acquire a load of copra. Then, turning northward from the South Seas, the Island Of Guam is to be visited on the return voyage to San Francisco. The cruise will cover approximately 25,0OO miles.
 The president of the corporation is H. J. Richardson, mechanical engl- neer who was lieutenant commander in the United States Navy during the war. Thomas J. Watson, secretary, is an insurance man of San Fran cisco who served in the United States medical corps in the war. Among the others of the crew are: Count Vladimir Aywayaglou, former colonel in the Czar's army and from 1917 to 1922 military attache at the Russian embassy in Tokio; Captain Haskell c. Billings, formerly of the United States Coast Artillery; Hyval l. Hughes, lieutenant in the British flying corps in the war; Murray N.
 Fay, motion picture man; J. s. Kah- Ter, retired insurance man of New
 port, R. l., and San Francisco, and
 Fred c. Lindner, who has spent many years exploring the South Seas and the Malay Peninsula.

GENERAL ALLEN FAVORS
 MODIFIED PROHIBITION
Says Beer Helped Discipline of U. s. Troops Stationed in Rhine
 District

NEW YORK, March 31.-Modified
 ohibition-allowing the troops light
 wines and beer-was most effective 1 in maintaining discipline in the American Occupational Army in Ger many, Major General Henry T. Allen, commander, declared who arrived
 home on the George Washington. The German residents of the Amer
 ican zone of occupation, he said, had been greatly pleased with the con
 duct of the Americans.
 Personally, General Allen said, he
 was ar-teetotaller," having ] taken no liquor of any kind "for years," but he could not see that
 the lesser intoxicants had done his
 man any harm.
 With General Allen was two more
 Henry T. Allens-his son, captain of cavalry, and his grandson, born on the Rhine fifteen months ago l to Captain Aliens French wife-a score of staff officers and fifty zone casual enlisted men.
 General Allen said the Army of Occupation had proved to be one of the greatest army training centers the United States ever had, and de- scribed the force he commanded there as "the finest soldiers in the world"
 Speaking of complaints of Ameri- cans because Germany had not yet paid for the maintenance of the American troops on the Rhine, he pointed out that the $250,OO0,0OO that the Army upkeep cost was but Is per cent in excess of what it would have cost to keep the troops in America. The prestige America had gained from it's Army of Occupation, he said, was well worth the extra IS per cent, if Germany never paid.

ENGLAND WANTS TO
 TAX HER GAMBLERS

LONDON, March 31.-The consist entely hard up British Government, always seeking fresh ways and means to replenish it's coffers, is said to be casting covetous eyes on the huge sums of money known to be changing hands constantly in Eng land through betting transactions.
 The Chancellor of the Exchequer short time ago requested the quiet islands of Jersey and Guernsey, and the Isle of Man, to contribute much more generously to the expenses of the empire than has been their habit, and it is not believed these sources will refuse. But something like $5OO,- 100000 a year is lost and won by British bettors, according to the esti- mates, and a good round tax on this sum would produce tidy revenue.
 All would be relatively easy for the treasury were it not for the discon- certing fact that to tax betting would legalize the practice, step which would create an uproar from all sorts and conditions of people throughout the country.
 There are nearly 30,0O0 bookmak- CTS in England who handle this $5O0,O00,O00 each year, not only for bets placed on horse races, but on football games and dog races. The betting fever pervades not alone the big clubs in London, but practically every factory in England. It is even said that in some factories intimi- dation is resorted to in order to get girls to bet, and their refusal to do so sometimes makes their lives un- bearable.
 It is argued that the licensing of bookmakers, the abolition of touts, and the adoption of the totallzer would greatly curtail gambling and abolish many of the present abuses, and that bill in the Commons along these lines would be we'll supported.
