GEORGIA PROUD OF
COMMANDER DUNLAP

In Gainesville, Ca, they have a
lawyer named Edgar B. Dunlap. The
folks there think lot of Ed and may
be that was why the American Legion,
Department of Georgia, elected him
state commander.
Not long ago Ed was seen squeezing
the MacNider trophy awarded annual
Iy to the department making the best
membership showing. Georgia had
won the cup for steady, persistent
increase in members.
Commander Dunlap was born in
Gainesville, April 10, 1892. He grew
up into a six-foot sturdy man who at
college could outwalk most men of
his age. He tells stories sometimes of
his many hikes. Once he walked IA
miles at night and appeared in Atlanta
for the football game between the Uni
versity of Georgia eleven and visit
ing college team.
After taking his degree in 1918 Ed
decided he wanted to be lawyer. So
he continued his studies and was adj
mitted to the bar in 1915. During the
two years he was studying tOrts and
evidence he was professor of Latin
in the Gainesville high school and tutor
in public speaking at the University
of Georgia.
Then he went back to Gainesville
to practice law. This he continued en-

Philippine Soil Proves Good for Rubber

Two years ago the American rubber
industry became alarmed over the ac-
ton of the British government In i'm
posing export limitations on the ton
mage Of crude rubber which could be
shipped from the East Indian posses
sions of Great Britain and from Ceylon.
An export tax also was imposed. 1t
was estimated that this action added
between $10O,O00,000 and 2OOO00,OO0
to the annual rubber bill Of the Ameri-
can people.
Unwilling to submit to this arrange
ment, American rubber interests in
duced the government to make sur
veys in various parts Of the world to
ascertain IL 1t would not be possible
for rubber to be produced under
American domination to the end that
American consumers would not be de-
pendent on British legislation for their
rubber supply.
The Philippine lands deemed best
adapted TO rubber cultivation are In
the large island of Mindanao and In
the adjacent smaller islands. Mindanao
is about the same size as the state of
Indiana.

@XTY large steam cargo vessels,
aggregating 100000 lightweight
~ tons, now lying idle but well pre-
served are to be equipped with
Diesel motors, according to Chairman
O'Connor of the shipping board. This
conversion will be made possible by
"judicious expenditure of the $25,000,-
600 made available by congress"
O'Connor said.
The money to be expended out Of the
boards construction fund, now amount
ing to $67,OOO0O0 through ship sales
and liquidation of industrial sites and
surplus materials, will provide much
needed requirements and serve notice
that the american flag Is to perma-
nently fly on the seven seas" the
chairman asserted.
AS result of survey of the boards
laid-up fleets about 375 vessels have
been selected as most suitable for con-
version into motor ships.
To install new steam machinery In
them, O'Connor said, undoubtedly
would involve less cost than Diesel
installation, but the resultant benefits,
he added, would not be commensurate
with the expenditure involved.

Oil Engines to Salvage u. S. Trade Fleet

AS the ships are not marketable In
their present state, Diesel conversion
would save them from the scrap heap.
OConnor said further conversions are
anticipated through the amendment Of
the merchant marine act authorizing
the board to loan to private companies
half the cost of Installing Diesel en-
gines in their vessels.
American ship owners are becoming
keenly alive to the motor driven YES
sells potentialities, he said, and thir-
teen vessels sold by the board in the
last three years on the condition that
they would be converted already are
in operation.
An advisory committee will meet
with the board soon to decide on the
design Of engine to be used. Selection
Of main and auxiliary machinery will
be made, Chairman O'Connor said,
with view to standardizing high
grade equipment at reasonable prices.
This policy" he asserted, SHOULD
greatly assist the development and es-
tablishment of the related Industries,
for as soon as standardized sizes are
manufactured in greater number lower
production costs will follow"

Give Reasons for Failure of Farm Laws

The relief bills were defeated, in the
opinion Of many competent observers
at Washington, not alone because of
lack of agreement among farm repre-
sentatives but because there was
general opinion among many congress.
men to the effect that they were eco
nomically unsound. The basis of the
McNary- Haugen and the Norris-Sin-
clair measures was q subsidy to the
farmer Price fixing elements were in
volved.
1t was argued against the bills that
where there is surplus of any COM
modify it is impracticable to set
minimum price, guaranteed in any
form by the government. without in
viting heavy losses to the government
and no real lasting benefit to the pro-
Queer.
Furthermore, 1t was maintained,
the very relief measure intended to
cure the situation would aggravate 1t.
With a price for wheat, for instance,
guaranteed by the government, the far
mer would turn to his fields intent up
on increasing production and getting
all of the guaranteed money he could.
An even greater surplus would be the
inevitable result.

w WASHINGTON. Director
M Stephen t. Mather of the
Wv national park service of the
Department of the Interior,
has returned to Washington from an
Inspection of Isle Royale Michigan, in
Lake Superior, which has been pro-
posed as an addition to the national
park system.
Director Mather In reporting to Sec
rotary Work was enthusiastic over the
possibilities of this virgin, untouched
island wilderness for national monu-
ment purposes. 1.-THE island, which Is
40 miles long and nine miles wide and
contains $4,000 acres, Is ideally suited
for recreation purposes, being acces-
sible to the entire Middle West" Mr..
Mather said. "The virgin forest, pro-
life flora. including rare specimens of
orchids, and the wild life Of the island
make its permanent preservation of
utmost Importance" according to his
report. A number of moose were OBJ
served and photographed, the animals
being fearless, having never been shot
at by man. A herd of 1900 moose Is
reported on the island as well as near
ly 400 woodland caribou. Innumerable

as civilian aide to the secretary of
war for the state Of Georgia and was
for time United States commissioner
for the northern district of Georgia.
On May IL, 1917, little more than
month after the United States de-
clared war on Germany, he entered
the First Officers Training camp at
Fort Macpherson and the following
August he was commissioned cap
tain. Transferred to Camp Gordon he
drilled colored troops until May, 1918,
when he sailed overseas. He saw ac-
tive fighting in the Toul sector. Mar
bache sector st. Mihiel offensive and
in the bloody Argonne. He was dis
charged on June 4, 1919, and re-
turned to Gainesville to resume his
practice.
But Ed, being a man with vision,
saw the possibilities of service in the
American Legion and not long after
he had shed his uniform he organized
the Paul e. Bolding post at Gaines
vile and was elected its first comman-
der.
Since then he has been actively con-
nected with the Legion. He was sue
cessively delegate to the first national
convention in Minneapolis in 1919 and
served on the Legion's constitutional
committee In 1919, 1920 and in 1922
he served his department as executive
committeeman and in 1923 was elected
state commander.
National headquarters of the Legion
recognized his undoubted ability and
he was appointed on the national
finance committee. When the adjusted
compensation battle was at its height
he also served as a member of the
augmented legislative committee.
Commander Dunlap is married and
has two children, Minnie, born in 1915
and James, born in 1919.

TAILURE of the farm relief laws
r. to pass during the last session of

FAILURE of the farm relief laws
X to pass during the last session of
i congress is considered by many
to be phenomenon.
The President In his annual message
to congress urged farm-relief legisla-
ton. What he favored specifically
was the Norbeck-Burtness bill provid-
ing for the financing of diversified
farming. That was defeated. The
many other farm-relief measures which
were offered failed of passage, not so
much through outright defeat, but be-
cause Of legislative pickering and de-
lays which prevented final action.
The cry for farm relief legislation
has been heard since the postwar price
recession Of 1920-21 when the prices
of farm products dropped to levels be-
low the cost of production. The diff
ficulty in getting relief legislation
through this congress was not so much
that congress refused to believe relief
was needed as that the members were
unable to agree upon the type of relief
which the government should accord.
The farmers organizations were d.
vided on this question Many separate
farm Hobbies exist at Washington, but
they could not agree among themselves
upon program of farm relief.

EPORTS made by experts Of the
government state that the Phil
ippine islands are more suitable

IN EHOhIS Indue ny experts VI thc
government state that the Phil
IN ippine islands are more suitable
to the cultivation of rubber
than the basin of the Amazon. Great
tracts of land in the possession Of the
United States are entirely suitable to
rubber cultivation, while, the report
says, the Amazon soil does not offer
the nutrition required by the rubber
plant.
The new soil survey made of these
lands says that they are richer in con-
stituents needed for rubber than the
lands of Sumatra and the Malay penin-
sula, where so much Of the worlds
supply Of rubber has come from. There
is general similarity between rubber
land and corn land, so far as the soil
is concerned The rubber plant re-
quires a much hotter climate, however.
While rubber cannot be raised in the
corn belt, corn can be raised to excel
lent advantage on rubber land. In the
Philippines as much as go to 300
bushels of corn are raised on an acre
Of land This large yield Is possible
by raising three or four crops year.

Fight Over Platform

The committee did not report until
after three o'clock Saturday afternoon,
and then they gave to the convention
both majority and minority report
on these two planks The threatened
dissension in the party had been car
ried from the committee into the con-
vention to be fought out on the floor.
The League plank was the first point
disposed Of. Ex-Secretary Baker made
an imprisoned appeal for the minority
report, and for two hours the subject
was debated, but in the end the con-
ventlon voted 353 to 742 In favor of
the majority.
The same people who had fought for
definite denunciation of the Khan
in the resolutions committee led the
fight for that when it was taken to
the floor of the convention. William
Jennings Bryan, and Senator Owen of
Oklahoma made the appeal for the
adoption of the majority report. Mr..
Bryan, in pleading for such plank
as would, in his belief, insure party
unity, said: "The Catholic church
does not need the defense of any po-
litical party, and the Ku Klux Khan
does not deserve the advertising" At
the close of two hours of intense de-
bate the roll of the states was called,
and the vote resulted in $50 for the
minority report and 543 against it,
BY the close margin of four votes De
mocracy failed to mention the Khan
by name in its platform.
