Trieste Is Regaining
Place as Trade Center

Trieste. formerly the chief seaport
of Austria, has recovered in the last
few months it's former commercial i'm
portance under its new Italian ma
tionality. For several years after the
outbreak of the World War the docks
of Trieste were deserted. its Quays
lifeless. In the last two years It's COM
merce steadily increased, and in ths
last months of 1924 its maximum to-
tai tonnage surpassed the best pre-
war record.
But Trieste is not, and never wifi
be, in the economic sense, an oItaliah
port. 1t serves chiefly the fhinterland
OF Central Europe. Austria, Czecho-
slovakia and other countries have
there large free port zones. where
goods may be received on consign-
ment to the countries OF destination
without payment of Italian duty
Much the greater part of the business
of Trieste Is of this character
An American manufacturer of low
priced automobiles has a flourishing
assembling plant in the city. 1t re-
ceives the parts shipped from America
and assemblies them for shipment to
Central Europe and the Balkans, pay
ing no Italian duty, but only the duty
demanded by the countries to which
the cars are exported.

tage, as it is ideally situated for a
base of trading activities and could
also serve as a base for naval opera
tions. At any rate, it controls the
door to central China from the Pa
cific side.
Then it is worth while remember
ing that the islands are much larger
in area than most people are aware Of
North and south the group measures
1.152 miles, east and west 682 miles.
Their total land area is 115,026
square miles, or about the same as
that of Italy. They are larger than
the New England States and New
York taken together
Practically all tropical products are
grown there. Sugar is the principal
product, followed by Manila hemp,
rice, coconut oil, copra and tobacco.
Gold, copper, coral, iron and other
minerals abound. Thousands of
square miles of fine hardwood forests
are found.
Philippine foreign trade for 1924
amounted to S243,372 900. of which
about So per cent was with the United
States.
1t should be plain that no one would
be justified in referring to the islands
as small fry" as has at times been
done.

The Philippine Islands are COM
monty regarded as a small group of
islands lying somewhere in the Pa
cific whose defense occasionally pre-
Sents itself as a military problem to
poster our Army and Navy authorities.
Every once in while a congress
sional committee brings up the ques-
ton, and the general impression
gathered from the-e hearings is that
the Philippines lie altogether too
troublesome a national appenda6e to
bother with. 1t is high time that the
true geographic, economic and strate-
Eic Importance of this American pos
session were better understood by the
public at large.
Whether or not the Philippines are
important strategically depends upon
ones attitude as regards our national
obligations toward the Filipino people.
If one believes that we have no con-
tinuing obligations toward those
people and that we ought to comply
immeditely with the demands of their
leaders for complete political inde-
pendence, then the islands have no
strategic value, either commercial or
military. Once we cut our political
ties with the Philippines 1t will be
no concern of ours how they develop
their foreign commerce or how sue
cessful they may be in maintaining
their territorial integrity. Those who
believe, however, in the indefinite re-
tention of the islands, out of sense
of solicitude and responsibility for
the people, maintain that the archi-
pelago is well situated strategically,
both from military and commercial
standpoint.
A glance at the map of the Far East
will reveal the Philippines as occu-
pying almost the geographical center
of that region. They form an impor-
tant link in the insuiar chain that
separates China and the continent
of Asia from the Pacific Ocean. The
Philippines constitute one of the
longest and most important links in
= this chain. Acquisition of this link
by any foreign power otherwise in

I this time the chief concern
~ III Democratic national polit-
~ Ical circles continues to be,
4 with increasing renewal of
interest, over the new York
mayoralty situation. Developments
are occurring so rapidly as to keep the
politicians in a whirl. The interest of
Democrats of national prominence
outside of New York City is intensi-
fed by the realization of their bearing
upon the affairs Of the party at large,
looking forward to the next presiden-
tial campaign, and the possibility of
maintaining the strength Of the de-
mocracy in the State.
Last weeks developments in the
situation included Mayor Hylan's
open defiance of Gov. Smith in the
latter's campaign to prevent Mr..
Hylan's denomination for mayor of
New York. Up to this time Gov
Smiths campaign has been in sense
under cover, in that 1t has consisted
of passing the word" of his dis
pleasure over the denomination of
the mayor on the ground that he did
not consider Mayor Hylan the right
man to attempt to carry New York
City at the polls. One feature of
that opposition is thought by poll
ticians to be the Governors antipathy
to William r. Hearst, the avowed ally
of the mayor.
Hint at Third Ticket.
Mayor Hylan's defiance was
voiced in a statement last week in
which he said that his candi-
dacy would continue until the
question of the mayoralty was de-
cided at the polls in November. This
xx-ac ts1yo
covert admission of the possibility
of his running on a third ticket,
which has been proposed as a con-
tingency by his ally, William r.
Hearst. The mayor in his statement
declared that "the fight from now on
until the question of the mayoralty
is settled next November, is between
the people who favor the scent fare
and demand better service on sub
ways, and the and 10 cent fare
advocates and their open and secret
allies"
Thus the mayor not only announced
his refusal to yield to Gov. Smith s
opposition to his candidacy. but de-
clared the issue on which he will go
before the voters Of New York City as
candidate for reelection. The may
or's statement, following a recent an
nouncement of William r. Hearst that
he would support Mr.. Hylan on any
ticket. was taken as conclusive of an
agreement between the mayor and Mr..
Hearst that the former was ready to
make the fight again. The eonstruc-
ton placed by politicians was that the
scent car-fare issue had been arro-
gated to himself by the mayor, and
that he expects no other to rise.

Is Indicated by Events

Then the League of Nations took

lander, in charge as commissioner
general for Austria, arranged in Sep
tember. 1922, a plan for financial aid
in which ten nations and American
ankers took part. and results We're
soon seen. The budget went down
and the deficit with it. Over 73 900
officials were dismissed up to Febru-
ary IS, 1928. unemployment was re.
duced, taxation was increased. and the
Preparations Commission agreed to
wait 20 years for the share due from
Austria under the treaty of St. Ger
main. Things began to look better
for Austria.
On December 20. 1924. the new gold
schflling was authorized and the sta
bility of the currency was assured by
the return to the gold standard.
Tariff treaties are being negotiated
with neighboring countries and, al
though the economic crisis is not
ended, the present situation. says DR..
Zimmerman, on January 81. 1925, "is
not without its reassuring aspects"
Nevertheless, it is grave enough.
Unemployment, which fell in October.
1928, to under $4,000, rose on FebrlI-
airy 10, 1925, to over 1872 900 This
was partly because of seasonal inf1u-
ences, and the drift changed for the
better in the middle of March. The
budget is not yet balanced, although
the deficit Is now less than the
amounts expended on investments,
and January last showed an unex-
pected surplus. The most rigid econ
omy is still required to carry the
strain of recovery, but an Austrian n
bank points out at the end of March
that pesslmlsts are apt ito go rather
by accidental symptoms, If they re-
veal drawback, than by fundamental
facts which reveal progress" Win
ming the way back is always painful
and usually slow. The whole situa-
ton recalls the saying of the Latin

Gibbon makes evident in his great
work on the decline and fall of Rome
that the insidious and secret forces
that weakened and ultimately de-
stroyed the empire were the product
of an enervated and impaired moral
and spiritual life. The ancient maxim,
Where there is no vision the people
perish" holds good in every age. Ma
tiofs and individuals have shown
their greatest strength and physical
and intellectual eXcellencies in the
face of seemingly insuperable diff
culties Often poverty itself and wide
spread disaster have failed to break
or to impair either their strength or
stability. The high-pinded, but i'll
equipped Army at Valley Forge, led
by great spiritual leader, was
strengthened to resist and overcome
the forces of an old world power
Since November. 1918, the worlds
best thinkers and diplomats have been
endeavoring to restore to normal our
political. social and economic institu-
tions. No one will venture to affirm
that their efforts have met with meas
urable success. On the contrary, the
situation that now confronts civiliza-
tion may properly be regarded as
more serious that that which con-
fronted 1t in 1914. The war has seem

During the war, spiritual idealism
seemed to take on a more definite
form, and we had hopes of better
things. Fine impulses and high as

a tragic result we witnessed today in
the face of our high thinking and our
tremendous sacrifices! Is 1t possible
that the world must pass through
another Armageddon more awful than
that which is past before it shall have
restored those things that make for its
happiness, its peace and its stability?
No matter what form our creeds may

Out Of the general disruption, how

than quarter of the whole popula-

hinterland and the republic is ill-bal-
anced, for, besides Viena Graz and
Linz are large towns. In this respect
Austrian conditions are abnormal.
Add to political disintegration the
economic and human wastes of war:
create new tariff barriers within what
once was domestic territory; remove
sources of essential materials outside
the republics area, and. finally, break
up trade routes and the established
intimacies of centuries, and the ma
tural results follow. Austria sank
into evil economic ways and was
threatened with complete collapse.
