HOW PREVENT A FIGHT

eve know that about the surest
preventive of fight between indi-
yiduals Is the presence OF a man
strong and well trained. with for
bearance and self-control sufficient to
refrain from striking under provoca-
ton, with wisdom to ward off a blow
by one weak man against another. to
undertake to persuade the contend
ing, the quarrelsome. to listen to rea-
son. to see his opponents viewpoint,
without himself taking sides and be.
coming involved in the controversy.
The bulk of the country's attorney
general, his calm and deliberate
manner. the manifest bigness Of the
man. must have lent somewhat of
emphasis to these words of John g,
Sargent. One gets the impression
that with such men as he in council
there need be no war. His warning
against those who clamor without
rythm or reason to have their es-
pecial suggestions for world peace
accepted and threaten dire results II
their demands be not complied with,
was timely. One may guess that his
auditors comprehended. as they
looked at him, the significance Of a
'man strong and well trained. with
forbearance and SELF control suffi-
cient to refrain from striking under
proyocation."

ON 4 typographical survey of his
lands. It is now proposed to call in
to use for completing the huge task
airp1anes and radio. Small annual
appropriations for the next twenty
years have been .>yoted by Congress
for this purpose. Army airplanes
are u be used. It Is estimated that
the cost for the entire survey will
amount to fifty million dollars.
Patchwork surveys In different parts
Of tAe country have covered around
~ psr cent Of the whole. 1t is claim
ed that had the survey been complet-
ed before the building Of the great
national highways had been begun
there would have been saved by rea-
son jof- such survey more than it
would have cost to make it; also
that st is essential to the highway
construction for the future.
There will be about this survey by
means Of fiers and radio little If any
of tie thrill which one gets even
from reading the account of recent
surveying expedition to the jungles
Of tie Amazon. The story that is
told Of that undertaking reveal quail

TRADE WITH SOUTHERN
COUNTRIES

Few have had the opportunity To
know of the advantages offered in
the markets of Latin America that
John Barrett's experience as former
director Of the Pan American Union
has afforded him. Speaking at Prov
tdence the other night he took for
his subject New England's Great
Opportunity.
He continues to insist that the
trade with these republics Of Central
and South America is Of increasing
Importance. that It beckons especial
" to New England because Of our
facilities for production and com
munication and by reason of the
banks New Englanders have estab-
ished In that part Of the world.
There is no one to dispute him
There IL no one to deny the need OF
wider market for our products
With increasing stability in those
southern markets trade advantages
become more inviting, but the COM
petition for these with the recovery
pr Industrial Europe is intensified
Manifestly what trade New England
may secure with South America will
have to be gone after. wisely and
persistently.s

WAGES OF AMERICAN sEAMEN

n having become evident that q
Government merchant marine Is not
attended with sufficient success TO
warrant its continuance. whenever
an opportunity is presented Tor get
ting out of it more or less gracefully
there is casting about for some
method whereby this country may be
assured the services Of able seamen
when need should arise. The last
war demonstrated how helpless IN
some respects we Americans would
be should another world war arise
and we not have allies equipped to
aid us in sea transportation. Indeed
there are those now who believe we
should maintain an American mer-
chant marine, whatever be the COST
as q means Of defence.
The American people have not tax
en- kindly to ship subsidies. They
might be induced to endorse some aid
of like nature under another name.
Chairman O'Connor Of the U. ;.
shipping Board evidently thinks the
idea worthy Of consideration and
suggests that the treasury pay q
bonus Of $50, per month to American
seamen employed on Shipping Board
vessels sold to. private operators.
The ofiicials Of the American
Steamship Owners Association, that
has been considering program for
taking over the entire Shipping
Board fleet. concluded such an ar
ranSement. while removing the diff
ference between wages in the British
merchant marine and in ours. would
not enable the American ship to
compete on equal terms with other
nations. Today. Shipping Board
wages average $50 q month more in
wages than the wages Of the Associ-
