BICYCLE TRADE
IS HELPING
CHILDREN
Secretary of Big Organization
Tells of Work Being
Done for Them

NEW YORK, June 3.--There prob
ably is no other industry in the
United States doing so. much for
the welfare of the children as the
bicycle industry according to a
statement issued today by H. j:
Mccarthy, executive secretary OF
the Cycle Trades Of America. Field
men are sent out to educate the
youngsters who ride bicycles. These
men visit schools and instruct the
children as to their responsibility
for their own safety by teaching
the correct methods of riding and
by giving demonstration and talks.
Realizing that nothing is to be
more regretted than accidents to
children on foot or awheel, the Off
cials of the Cycle Trades of Amer
lea assign these men to visit the
schools in certain prescribed routes,
spending a week in each city, edu-
eating the pupils to'a proper under
standing Of traffic rules and signals
SO that they may heed both and
properly give the latter.
AS supplement to this work OF
the field representatives, all bicycle
dealers are called upon and urged
to do their part in instructing the
children along the lines of riding in
safety and are requested to see to
it that no bicycle leaves their estab-
lishments unless small tag, issued
by the manufacturer is attached
to the handlebar. Observe the
Law is the caption over the timely
rules printed on this tag. which the
rider is urged to heed. Some Of
the rules are:

privileges on the highways enjoyed
by the horse-drawn vehicles or
automobiles.
Observe the laws governing the
use of the highways.
Never ride on the wrong side of
the road.

The Farm Problem.

Senator Capper Of Kansas comes to
that, while conditions have materially
improved for the farmers of the great
Middle West and West, something
must still be done to place agriculture
on an economic parity with industry
and labor in this country. He scents
a battle against the protective tariff
unless the Republican Congress turns
it's attention to a solution Of the
problem which continues to face the
producers of the great staple crops of
this country. The Democrats are al
ready summoning the farmers to the
fray. urging them to abandon the Re-
publican party, which, they say, and
say correctly, is responsible for the
protective tariff.
Either the protective tariff can be
made a real benefit to the farmers
it already benefits many of them-or
it cannot. Those who oppose the pro-
tective tariff insist that the price Of
grains and other staple farm products
is made not in American markets,
but in Liverpool and London. OF what
use, they contend, is the protective
tariff to American producers Of these
crops, particularly in view Of the fact
that there is always a surplus of
these staples which must be sold
abroad. If this surplus is not sold
abroad, then the American market is
glutted and prices are forced down
here.
II the tariff wall is to be used as
real means Of defense for American
producers Of these staple crops, then

executive of the corporation. The
board of directors. he suggests, should
be composed of the Secretaries of
War, Navy and Commerce and the
Postmaster General, augmented pos
sibly by three persons representing
the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts.
Mr.. Dalton would utilize the close
contact of the Department of Com
merce in matters of international
trade.
Mr.. Dalton lays particular stress
upon the need of economy and eff
cheney in dealing with the Govern
ment merchant fleet, and it is to that
end he particularly recommends the
separation of the Fleet Corporation
and the Shipping Board and their
functions of operation and regulation,
respectively.
President Coolidge. 1t is expected,
will give careful consideration to the
report of his special investigator in
submitting recommendations to Con-
gress regarding the merchant marine.
The suggestion of Mr.. Dalton that
the three coasts be given representa-
ton on the proposed board of direc
tors Of the Fleet Corporation is new
and should meet effectually the criti-
cism that under more unified control
of the various sections might
at times be overlooked.

If tomorrow the danger be further re-

also.
The huge armies of Europe in
1914 were themselves one sign Of the
great fear. distrust, jealousy which
existed. Every one was afraid and
every one was armed, but back of the
fear of armies lay the fundamental
fear of the purpose and designs Of
other countries. The armies We're one
of the grave consequences of the state
of mind, their existence brought OBJ
viouS and real perilS, but they were
not a cause in themselves but a symp-
tom; the cure did not lie and could
not lie in abolishing them, first be-
cause it was impossible while the spirit
remained, and, second, could the spirit
be modified they would disappear.
No people in the world are more
honestly or more earnestly working
for peace than the British, but the
submarine incident has no relation to
peace but discloses natural fear that
in a new war this weapon would prove
more deadly than in the last. There
fore to make this agitation basis for
a larger campaign against war is quite
irrational.

Police Are Justified
In Use of Firearms
To the Editor of Tho Star

To the Editor of Tho Star:
l note that the police have been Sc
verely criticized for shooting at crim4-
nails on the streets of this city. In
every case it has been shown that th.-
police fired only after the shooting had
been begun by confirmed Iawbreak k ers

principle that men who have entered

The Dalton Renort.

Important recommendations for the
merchant fleet are contained in the
report of II. G. Dalton, appointed re-
Gently by the President to make a
study of the shipping problem. Mr..
Dalton, who halls from Cleveland,
was called in as a neutral in the
controversy over the method of opera
tion of the Government ships.
Mr.. Dalton's report recognizes, ap-
parently, that a direct Government
subsidy TO shipping is not to be ex-
pected at this time. He urges, there
fore, that every effort be made to bring
the operation of the Government fleet
to the highest state of efficiency, so
that costs may be reduced while the
needs Of American commerce and the
national defense may still be met ad-
equately. The greater the reduction
in costs, the greater the possibility
and probability of placing the ship
lines in private American hands for
continued and continuous operation
an end which is contemplated in the
present merchant marine act, passed
by Congress since the close of the
World War.
One of the proposals made by Mr.
Dalton to bring about this greater
efficiency and economy is the COM
plete separation of the Fleet Corpora.
ton and the Shipping Board, with the
operation of the ships entirely in the
hands of the former, and the latter
to continue to function .as a semi
judicial and regulatory body, as it
was originally intended to be. He
proposes also that the present con-
tract between the Government and
the operators of the ships should be
so amended that the operators shall
become more personally interested in
the profits and losses of the ships
they handle. Under the present con-
tract the Government pays all the
losses and at the same time guaran-
tees the operators a commission on
all the business carried 10 and from
this country.
In his proposal that the Fleet Cor
poration be separated from the Ship

pendent operating agency. under the
authority, however, of the President

it must be raised so high that similar
foreign products cannot be brought
into this country in competition with
American. The surplus of the Ameri-
can crops, after the requirements of
the domestic market have been met,
must be sold abroad at the prices pre-
vailing outside Of the United States,
presumably at a lower rate than these
products bring in America. The gain
made by the farmers on the part of
their crops sold in this country would
have to offset, and more than offset.
losses which they sustained in their
sales abroad. 1t has been charged by
opponents of the protective tariff that
manufacturers Of steel and other prod
ucts in America have sold these same
buyers than in the American market.
and that they have been enabled to
give foreign consumers better prices
than they give American. But ii is
apparent that unless they had been
able to sell at higher prices in the
domestic market they would not have
been able to produce or to sell a sur
plus abroad or to keep their factories
and mills operating at full time
There seems to be no way of pre-
venting a production of surplus agri-
cultural products in this country. If
crop brings high prices one year it
is to be expected that the next year
the farmers will plant a greater acre
age. To prevent such a surplus prob
ably would be a disaster for some
other countries which rely upon Amer
lea for foodStuffS.
The fundamental problem. there
fore, is to make some provision for
marketing this surplus, and at the
same time keep the prices obtained in
the domestic market high enough to
give the farmers a fair return for
their investment and labor. Some of
the members of Congress have ia
vored the establishment of a Govern
ment export corporation, as provided
in the McNary Haugen bill, which
would take over the surplus crops
and hold them for sale, so that the
prices in the domestic market might
be higher. But on the other hand
there is a sincere desire to keep the
Government out of the business of
buying and selling farm products or
any other products. Government
price fixing has been frowned upon,
TOO, in this country.
The surplus farm products provide
a real problem which must be met,
if possible, or there will always be
danger of agricultural DEPRESSION.
