WANDERERS FROM RUSSIA

In faded and patched uniforms, all the
clothing they owned, one hundred and
twelve officers, formerly Of the Russian
imperial army, arrived at New York, in the
steerage. They were sent to Ellis island to
be fumigated, browning humiliation! The
refugees escaped from the bolsheviki and
made their way to Turkey, where they were
placed on liner bound to America, through
the kindly offices of the American consulate
at Constantinople. Three were generals III
the czars army. One is sixty years old, gray
and haggard as a result of his experiences
All came to the United States as last ra-
sort, protesting that if they were sent back
to Russia they would be imprisoned or killed
This hapless band, with nothing left but
their dignity and an undying hatred for the
bolsheviki, typify the fate of thousands of
other members of the old regime who have
been driven out of Russia to wander over the
face of the earth. Any refuge is preferable
to their native land in its present plight
They are heard of in many parts of the
world. The more unfortunate have swal-
lowed their pride and are trying to earn .
livelihood in humble capacities. Men and
women of the Russian nobility are perform,
ing mental tasks in Paris, London and Other
cities. But among the wanderers and those
who have found temporary nome, there L,
a firm belief that the bolshevist government
will fall and sanity will return to Russia
Perhaps it is this hope that enables them to
bear their misfortunes with more equanimity
than would be possible, otherwise. There is
something both pathetic and sublime in the
faith nearly all Russian refugees have in the
ultimate salvation of their country.

MADDEN ENDORSES FORD OFFER

Representative Madden's unqualified in
dorsement of the Ford offer for Muscle
Shoals gives renewed hope and confidence
to Ford advocates in congress. Mr.. Mad
den is chairman of the appropriations COM
mittee and one of the strongest men in the
lower house. He recommends that the Ford
offer be accepted as the most practical So
luton of the problem which confronts the
government, and takes a broad-minded view
of the matter when he says that political
considerations should be put aside for the
best interests of the nation.
Mr.. Madden concurs in the opinion fire.
quently expressed by southern members of
congress that decision on the Muscle Shoals
project is due to the farmers and taxpayers
of the country, who are growing impatient
over the frequent delays and the political
tactics which have been employed to post
pone a vote. As Mr.. Madden says, when the
appropriations specified in the Ford pro-
posas are once made, the drain. on the fed
eral treasury will end. Unless the Ford Of
fer is accepted, or better one is forthcom-
ing, which seems highly improbable, the
government will be compelled to continue
the expenditure of millions of dollars on
the plants, or sacrifice more than 500, 000,-
600 already spent. Since the American
people would never consent to the scrapping
of Muscle Shoals, the choice lies between
Mr.. Ford and government operation. The
latter course is contrary to the public senti-
ment of the country, which is opposed to
the government competing with private BUS
mess. One significant point made by Mr..
Madden is that Mr.. Ford, if his offer were
accepted, would not get such a bargain as
some of his critics have declared he would.
In addition to the $5,0Oo,000 which he agrees
TO pay the government, he would have to
invest ten times that amount to complete
the plants and put them into operation.
Mr.. Madden does not share the apparent
belief of other republicans in congress who
have permitted partisanship and prejudice
to get the better of their judgment, that
Mr.. Ford will be unable or unwilling to
carry out his part Of the agreement. He
does not question the Detroit manufacturers
ability to provide cheap fertilizer for the
farmers and furnish the government with
nitrates in time of war. He bases his con-
illusions on an impartial investigation of the
Ford offer sald states the "plain, unvar-
nished facts" 1t would be well for other
members of congress who have opposed the
Ford offer to follow the example of the
Illinois representative and study it from an
unbiased angle.

know that sister states are as interested in
the building Of hard-surface roads as she is
and that they are spending fully as much
money ON roads in proportion.
North Carolina is spending more money
on her roads than any other southern state.
Alabama is not begrudging North Carolina
the benefit that will follow from these roads,
but is encouraged to press her own pro-
gram and add to it as far as the funds
will allow. Out of the road-building efforts
of the various states there evolve some uni
form and fundamental principles of good
construction and maintenance that expert
ence has proved sound and this knowledge
becomes common heritage through such
meetings and conferences as will be held at
Auburn. Building good roadslis now, and
for generations viii be, one of the principal
undertakings of the southeastern states. The
time will come when no neighborhood will
be shut off from others by poor roads.

THE QUESTION AT ISSUE

That the funding of the British debt to
the United States would help to stabilize
international finance and would be a step
toward breaking the vicious cycle of war
debts" as claimed by supporters of the
agreement which will be submitted to con-
gress, is undoubtedly true. But no salts
factory explanation has yet been made for
charging lower rate of interest than the
government is paying for the money it bor-
rowed from the American people for the
purpose of making the loan to Great Britain.
Members of the American debt commission
and the administration say there will be no
discrimination against the American people
in favor of the British taxpayer.
The fact remains that the agreement.
which congress will be asked to accept pro-
vides for an interest rate of three per cent.
from June Is, 1928, to December Is, 1882,
inclusive, and three and one-half per cent.
until final payment Of the principal. The
American government is paying four and
one-quarter per cent. on the money it bor-
rowed Furthermore, the terms agreed on
are less than were stipulated by congress in
the debt-funding act. On its face the agree
ment is discriminatory.
Representative Burton of Ohio claims that
the proposed settlement should be accepted
out of fairness to Great Britain because she
has made an honest attempt to meet her
obligations and because the American people
will profit by the increased demand for their
surplus products which will be created abroad
when the rates of exchange become more
favorable to our debtor narfons These
arguments are beside the question. Should
the American people, who got nothing out
of the war, be asked to shoulder an addi-
tional burden to help Great Britain, who
shared in the spos of war?
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1923-02-07

views of most traffic problems were taken
by the shipper and the carrier representa-
tlves, which goes to show, that when these
questions are presented and discussed with
alreal desire to reach fair settlement, the
principal obstacle to satisfactory transport
tation rates, rules and regulations has been
overcome. Railroad men are frank to adj
NIT that past failure to take the shippers
into their confidence and consult with them
in matters of common interest, before de-
claring rates and announcing traffic rules,
has been a mistake.

THE SCRAMRLE FOR OIL

Gold once set the standard of national
prosperity and prestige, and was the chief
cause of international jealousies. Gold still
has its grip on the machinery of the world,
but without oil this machinery would now
be in poor way. Coal is called the bread
of industry, and so it is. Without it the
great industrial centers would be helpless.
But oil is at present the issue predominant
in world economics. 1t is the issue upon
which peace may be quickly shattered, as in
the Near East.
The present production in the United
States is SO great it is hard to realize that
there is a threatened shortage in petroleum.
Scarcely day passes that we are not dis
covering new fields in the western states and
the old fields have seemed to hold reservoirs
of endless supply. For some time we have
been producing much over half the worlds
petroleum. But experts have been warning
us that even our vast fields from coast to
coast are not inexhaustibe. Some have
gone SO far as to say that in very few
years we will be importing oil for our own
needs. Mexico, next below us in production,
furnishes about twenty-five per cent. of the
worlds consumption. That country has
practically sold out its proven territories to
foreigners, principally British and Ameri-
cans. Russia is capable of extracting. mil
lions of barrels day from its underlying
petroleum lakes, but Russia is helpless in this
regard without the aid of Europe. Central
and South America are being exploited,
which is true of Egypt, Persia and the Balkan
states. In fact, since the day of the arpis
tice there has been among nations mad
political juggling for concessions wherever it
is possible to coax oil from the earth.
And since then there has been foreshadowed
some such situation as now exists in the
Near East. where Turkey is unwilling to let
go some of the richest fields in the world.

APPRAISING THE MOVIES

An effort has been made for some time
by the press and public to state exactly what
{ is wrong with the movies. The New York
World, quoted by the Literary Digest in
an article on the subject, gives this view:
'"The real trouble with the movies is that
they are vulgar and stupid" In comment
ing on the effort of Mr.. Will Hays to bring
Arbuckle back into popularity, the World
says: 1t is a more serious charge against
Arbuckle that he added to that stupidity
than that he gave an unfortunate drinking
party" Golfers Weekly, which has been
printing series of articles along the same
line, takes fling at Mr.. Hays himself. To
the interviewer "Mr. Hays didn't say any,
thing that would show that he really under
stands what Golfers articles were driving
at when they claimed that the motion-pic
ture business was permeated with uninteli-
gence and mediocrity." Another of Col
lier's articles tells its readers that they are
not getting better pictures because the
present leaders of the motion-picture indus
try don't want you to-" and that ''they believe
they can get quicker action on their money
by appealing to the iliterate quarters and
dimes, by stressing shoddy meodrama and
generally playing to the cheaper audiences
Whatever the trouble is, most of us know
that the sckly sentimentalities and impos-
sible situations SO often portrayed in the
movies find no place in the sound and SEN
sible spheres of life. Leaving out their
morality, in the usual meaning of morality.
their chief fault seems to be that they so
foolishly distort things and give false and
misleading ideas of lifes real values.

TRAGEDY OF THE TREES

1t is not the money loss that Birmingham
feels in the damage done to her trees By
the recent sleet storm, but positive grief
over the way in which they have been mu-
tilated and their symmetry has been
marred Many of them were uprooted
and these are gone forever. No wind
ever did one-tenth of the damage to
Birmingham's trees that the dead weight
of the ice burden has done. They
went down under sheer weight, the air being
practically still during Sunday night as one
after one toppled over, or overladen limbs
broke and came to the ground with a crash.
On Seventeenth street, south, stately crepe
myrtle, the ornament of that neghborhood
and inspiration and pleasure to those
who enjoyed its pink panoply of blossom
for months each year, is PROSTATE, and
nearby an imposing oak lies across the
street.
There has been nothing in Birmingham
more beautiful than her trees. Visitors
have commented on their luxuriance and
water oak, as well as many other forest
trees, attain more stately proportions. Our
trees have become part of our lives. For
tunately the same favorable conditions
which have produced them will enable them
to flourish again, but the majestic oaks that
have fallen cannot return. They were here
before the city came and nothing will take
their place. Such trees are freemen of the
forest and the city is no cradle for them.

A SIGN OF RECOVERY

Birmingham bank clearings for January
show an increase of 65 per cent over the
same month year ago. They establish a
new high record and clearly reflect the
financial status of the district, which is ali
the more to be relied on because the same
number of banks participate now as year
ago, and the same system of computing
clearings is in use. The recovery of financial
conditions has been parallel with industrial.
The change for the better of industrial OPP
erations began slightly after the middle of
1921, but the pace, while never backward.
was so slow that by the end Of that year
bare start is all that could be said to have
been made. That was encouraging, and bust
ness men began feeling confidence in the fu-
ture. But it was the middle of 1922 before the
improvement had become so pronounced as to
be comfortable realization. From then on
the upward swing was more rapid, although
at no time was there what might be termed
boom.
Bank clearings mirrored the industrial re-
covery. The average increase in clearings
in the last four months of the year, during
which the present advanced wage scale pre-
vailed and Industrial operations steadily
mounted in volume, was 40 to 45 per cent
An additional momentum IN all Industrial
lines has prevailed during January, and its
close found industrial operations at the
highest point in three years Bank clearings
clearly indicate this increase, and their IS
per cent advance over January 1922, is the
measure of the general recovery in that ne
Rod. They are in line with the higher price
and larger returns from cotton, and the
rural prosperity that is evidenced by record
sales of farming implements and wire mill
products. The excellent conditions now pre-
vailing are all the more sound for having
come gradually.

SHORT AND PLAIN

From providence journal.
A book reviewer, having been
impressed by the profusion OF
short words in a new novel by a
famous English author, counted
the one-syllable words on II certain
page and found them to number

beat" 1t would be interesting to
know whether Miss Sinclair-for

does; perhaps they come to her

years in all gainful occupations, except ag-
ricultural employment, in Alabama is now
only two per cent of its juvenile population.
According to this authority, in New York
the percentage is four and five-tenths, in
Rhode Island more than thirteen, and for
the United States as whole it is three and
three-tenths per cent. The eight-hour law
for juveniles has also decreased the number
of industrial workers between fourteen and
sixteen, since none under sixteen are per-
mitted to work longer than eight hours
day, or forty-eight hours week, and none
under fourteen may be employed in an in
dustrial capacity at all. 1t is unquestionably
true that Alabama is we'll in advance of
some other states in child welfare work, but
there are still improvements to be made in
this direction before we can be entirely sat
isfied with having done our full duty.
