AIM OF EXPERTS REPORT

connection with various features of
its report, both for the purpose of
gathering information and for adj
vice. the committee called to its as
sistance outside experts of interna-
tional reputation.
1.-The published reports and state
ments of economists of worldwide
standn,, have been in its hands. 1t
has had also the benefit of the ac-
cumulated information heretofore
gathered by the reparation commits
| sion.
In its work the full COMMITTEES
! has held since January IA. 1924,
| forty-eieht meetings. The subcom-
mittee on the sterilization of cur
rency, composed of M. Parmentier,
| Sir r. M. Kindersley, M. Emile
Tranquil and Prof. F. Flora, assisted
| by Mr.. Her V M. Robinson, and I'M
der the Craftsmanship of Mr.. Owen
D. Young, has held siXty-eight meet
ings, and the subcommittee on bal
ancing the German budget composed
of NJ AliX. Baron Houtart and DR..
| Pirelli, under the Craftsmanship of
Sir j. c. Stamp, has held sixty meet
! ings. These subcommittee have also
had the assistance of Mr.. Andrew
McFadyean, the general secretary of
| the reparatiOn commission. The time
of the committee outside Of that con-
sumed by its meetings, has beer
given largely to Investigation and
| study.
I'm speaking Of my colleagues
| and as bearing upon the value OF
this report, [ feel that I should
| make known to the reparation COM
mission and to the world that their
| governments have in no case limit
ed their complete independence Of
the ~ment and action, either be-
! fore Or after the appointment by
! the reparation commission.
Limited only by the powers grant
! ed by the commission, each of my
| colleagues has performed his work
as a free agent; these men search
ing for truth and advice thereon
were answerable only to their con-
| sciences In granting this freedom,
! the governments have on the same
| lines followed the commissions spir-
| it and intent in constituting the
committee, but in so doing they have
! paid the highest tribute which gov
| ernments can bestow, namely, COM
! plete confidence in a time of crisis
! in human affairs. In their vision,
! in their independence of thought,
| and, above all, in their spirit of high
and sincere purpose, which rises
| above the small things over which
| the small so often stumble, my col
/ leagues have shown themselves
worthy of this trust.
! THAT their work, which L now
| place in the commissions hands,
may assist in the discharge of the
! commissions great responsibilities
| Is their prayer, and the knowledge
hereafter that it has done so will
| be their full reward.

Radio And Seoffers.

To be able to sit at home on
dreary winter days and hear a
sermon from across the continent, a
musical entertainment a couple of
thousand miles away or an important
address by the president of the
United States, is pleasure that can
not be measured in term Of
ordinary enjoyment.
Radio is truly the marvel Of the
age and its uses are broadening so
that it has come to be an accepted
means of communication.
There was a time when the
scoffers laughed at the Wright
Brothers for trying to fly without
wings; when they ridiculed the idea
of buggy running down the street
without a horse hitehed in front Of
it; when they scorned the suggestion
that anyone could communicate
with another many miles away with
out the use Of wires.
The scoffers are still having their
inning. They haven't been con-
WINGED yet that radio is here to stay,
but Knowing their propensities to
see only the dark side Of every eff
fort at progress, those of us who be-
lieve that modern Inventions are the
best ever conceived, will not be
dismayed by their predictions of
failure.
Radio is a wonderful invention and
it will be improved immeasurably.
There is no doubt about that. It
will be perfected just as automobiles
and airplanes have been made more
practical year by year.

tuTTlE TALK ON THRIFT
By s. W. STRAUS
President Of American Soci,ty for Thrift

It is good thrift not only to make
the most Of ones time, but to stretch
ones years of useful activity to the
greatest possible span.
Undoubtedly the popular view
point on longevity is changing. The
average man is not considered
through" at as early an age as was
the case two or three generations
ago.
Most of the generals in the Civil
War under as. In the World War
the British generals averaged $50
years CT age. The French average
was COS years.
The average age of those who sat
at the Peace Conference in Paris in
1919 was SO.
One of New York's active fin
anciers of today was an adviser of
Abraham Lincoln. A great and
useful industrial leader in this coun-
try is midway between 70 and 80.
An active and honored leader of
organized labor is four years beyond
the allotted three score and ten.
One of the most profound mem
bers of the legal profession in
America is nearing 80. Our great
est inventor is several years beyond
his 10th milestone. An active,
forceful leader in educational
thought is nearing ninety.
A New York newspaper recently
gave the average age of its working
staff as Al, with six members be-
tween so and 70 and three past 70.
One was still doing his days work at
70. Yet journalism is popularity
considered a young mans profession.
One might travel every walk of
life and find those at their places of
duty who are beyond the Biblical
limitation.
The recent death of President
Wilson was universally regarded as
"untimely"-the result of abnormal
responsibilities during the War
rather than the natural wearing out
of the machine.
1t is an inspiring thought that we
are learning more and more to give
a just appraisal to the values that
come from long experience. And
as these valuations continue to find
their rightful levels, the universal
incentive to prolong ones years of
useful activity is correspondingly
stimulated
Each year that can be added to the
period of usefulness to ones self
and to others increases the sum total
! of human happiness and accomplish
ment.
