WHAT THEY ARE THINKING

In the far East where the people
jostle elbows because of the crowded
population, those crowded people are
being educated after a fashion, and
so are supposed to be indulging in
thinking. outside their immediate en-
vironment.
OF what they are thinking we may
get an inkling from what they are
being taught. Here is what the pro-
fessor of sociology at Peking COL
lege Is teaching:
"The right to change ones home is
an inalienable right. Exclusion laws
are unjust because one of the prin-
cipa1 grounds for discrimination is
race or color. The right of migra-
ton is also natural right. The
world Is a common possession. No
people can be justified in withholding
unused lands that other people can
use and need urgently. In some
western countries where agriculture
is the chief occupation the density of
population Is half a person to a
square mile, whereas in China there
are nine provinces whose density ex-
ceeds three hundred persons to the
square mile"
1t will be recalled that much Of the
recent rioting in China was led by
students.

Two Escape Death
In Blowing Up of
Oil Boat. Wiscasset

Wiscasset, July Captain James
L. st. Clair of Portland and Engineer
Fred Alley of Boothbay Harbar, had
a miraculous escape from death
when the 40-foot feeder boat of the
Tydol Oil Co.. the Hope B., of Port
land, with 200 gallons of gasoline
on board blew up less tnan 100
yards from the wharf here. ~
The tank boat which is owned by
the Little e Coffin Co, of Portland.
had just filled its tanks at the dock
and moved out when there came a
backtire from an explosion of the
small fuel tank in the boiler room.
The force Of the explosion threw
Engineer Alley from the engine room
Is feet into the air and over the
side into the water. He was res
cued by a life buoy thrown from a
passing yacht.
Capt. ST. Clair. who was on deck
when the explosion occurred. was
just able 10 jump into a small boat
and get clear from the burning gas
oline. The bow of the boat caught
fire but he reached the shore in
safety.
Neither of the two men were
burned nor scratched nor in any
way the worse for their involuntary
f1iration with death.
Automobiles held their breath ex-
pecting there would be a second ex-
plosion that would wreck the entire
tanker but there was no further ex-
plosion and the hull of the Hope B.,
still foated tonight after the fire
had died down. The Hope B., regis
tered from Portland and was used
by the Little & Coffin Co.. to move
gasoline from the rails at Wiscasset
to- the filling stations in the coast
towns, near by.
The total damage was about $1,000.

served notice, in a statement issued
by its executive committee from

The League. in urging adoption of

In place of the resolution and reser-

GOOD WORK

It IL not necessary to pass an opin-
ion on the general plan Of regional
districts now to be tried out by Gen.
eral Andrews in charge Of prohibit
ton enforcement before expressing
regret at the prospective removal of
Seth May from the work here in
Maine. While reports from some
parts Of the country indicated the
need of a change, no such reports
find basis in fact with regard to
Maine.
Enforcement of the liquor laws in
Maine under the present system has
been creditable to Messrs. May and
Dyer and to the faithful officers I'M
der them. With long, exposed sea-
coast offering unparalleled opportun-
tiles for smuggling from nearby
ports, with frontier stretching for
miles on the north, with great incen-
tive to the smugglers because Of the
guard along the cosat to the south,
and no Coast Guard protection for
Names coast in the past, the diff
culties have been formidable indeed.
According to all the evidence OBJ
tainable Names enforcement unit
SENS to have accomplished more in
the face Of these obstacles than has
been accomplished in any other part
Of the country.
It appears those who made the
regional distribution left Florida
alone; why should they not have left
Maine alone? 1t is understandable
that in the central part of the coun-
try regional distribution of powers
outside State lines might be advan-
tageous, but 1t is not clear how IT
would help in Maine. On the con-
trary, there is the prospect that it
cannot be as good. Considering the
exposed condition of this State, 1t
becomes apparent that there will be
work enough in Maine for a unit as
alert and capable as any in the coun-
try.
The present unit has splendid
record of achievement. 1t has exper-
fence, it has tested efficiency of en-
ployes, who have demonstrated
honesty, loyalty and skill. In view
of all these facts, which we under
stand are generally admitted to be
facts, a way should be found not to
impair the protection of this terri
tory against the rum smugglers. We
hope those working to this end may
prevail. Continue the good work.

SAM NOT MEDDLEsoME

Criticism emanates from the Brit
ish press because the United States
expresses willingness to go on with
the work planned and promised with
respect to China, when the Washing
ton Conference was in session.
At that Conference China asked
for power to raise the tariff on i'm
ports from what in effect was then
IL per cent to II IL per cent, at
fording a revenue to the national
Government of three hundred mil
lions. The weakness Of that Gov
eminent has been ascribed in part
to its inability to secure funds with
which to function.
The element of Justice in the re-
quest was such that there was an
immediate agreement to an increase
to per cent and promise that the
matter would be further considered
by a commission at special confer
ence. This has been delayed by ne
elect of France in ratification.
<AIAOA6, OIhSA lAdLtCA5 " 10 olSCuoSSu
at this conference was that of the
tariffs now imposed between China s
provinces and proving in effect great
barriers to the increase of trade.
In this connection 1t is interesting to
note that trade in China amounts to
Ave dollars per capita, whereas in
Japan 1t Is $50 per capita.
There are more than fifty treaty
ports in China where foreigners are
free from taxes. have their own po-
lice and courts. When these conces-
sions were begun there was need Of
them. Foreigners would not submit
to the conditions then existing. China
claims this need no longer exists or
will not exist provided the Chinese
Government may obtain funds on
which 10 perform its functions.
Events hardly bear out this claim
but the evidence that a beginning
should Be made Of improvement
seems worthy Of attention, and that

Provision FUNCTIONS

Provision, the ability to look ahead
and prepare to meet situations, is
a very desirable quality in leader
ship. Calvin Coolidge possesses 1t.
The latest evidence Of this Is the
effort now being made to arrive at
definite conclusions respecting just
what it may be practicable to do in
tho way of relieving and promoting
agriculture In this country.
Crop reports indicate that the
country over the year 1925 Is to be
a productive one; that crop condi-
tons are already affording relief to
what was a distressing situation IN
the Middle West, where products
now bring better prices. where more
money Is passing into circulation en-
richinr the life blood Of commerce.
Considering the previous inability
Of the alleged farm experts to agree
on any method Of relief or definite
plan for congressional action, consid-
ering further that it will be exceed
ingly difficult to give any substantial,
continuing relief by way Of congress
sional action a President might seem
excusable for not wishing to take up
the matter at this time. There is an
axiom advising the letting of sleep
ing dogs lie undisturbed and there
would be plenty of presidents war
ranting the President in keeping
quiet.
This is not what President Cool
idge proposes to do. He knows that
whenever the farmers have a bad
year the demagogues swoop down on
them like vultures; patent cure-alls
are advertised, propaganda is spread
and there is likelihood Of Congress
being dragooned into passing vicious
legislation. The time to ward off a
famine Is when food is plenty and
conservation may be had.
In view Of this the President has
invited those who have some grounds
for assuming to speak for the farm
GI u WISH at 0WdhlpoSOSS oAiA
bring along their programs for con-
sultation. So there is a possibility
that the discordant groups may be
brought into some. practical measure
Of accord, out Of which arrange
ment practical for the agricultural
interests may be worked out.
The endeavor is proper, it should
help to reasonable relief. 1t cannot.
in the nature Of things, do all that
the farmer would like done; 1t can
not supply him with initiative or
skill and confidence in perfecting CO.
operative efforts; it cannot change
the character Of the seasons. 1t may,
however, enable the farmer to secure
better understanding Of what may
be done to guard against such emer-
gencies, better to regulate and di-
versify production suited to the
needs likely to arise.

RECONSTRUCTION
DEVASTATED LAND
NEARS COMPLETION

Washington, D. c., July r.
Reconstruction in the devastated
regions Of France is now beginning to
draw to a close, and another year
should see a complete fulfillment of
the extensive program inaugurated
by the French Government shortly
after the Armistice, says Commercial
Attache C. l.. Jones, Paris. in a re-
port to the Department of Commerce.
OF the 7.250.000 acres of land rem
dered unsuitable for use at the time
of the Armistice, % per cent had
been restored on the first of January,
1925. Practically all the land covered
with barbed wire entanslements has
been cleared and 81 percent of the
earth that had been thrown up in
making trenches has now been used
for filling in. OF the nearly 10000
acres of farm land unsuitable for
use at the time of the armistice, A.
$4,000 acres had been leveled off.
At the time of the armistice the
number of destroyed buildings reach
ed S9B,792. On January 1, 1925, $685.
319 of these had been rebuilt. A con-
siderable number of the remaining
destroyed buildings will not be re-
erected. however, as their owners
have accepted war damages with no
intention to rebuild.
The number of factories destroyed
by the war was $4,000. On January
l, 1925, $1,000 of these establishments
had been rebuilt or repaired. as had
over one-half of the 5,0S1 schools and
1911 churches that had also been de-
stroyed.
On December 81, 1924, France had
paid out for the restoration of the
devastated regions a sum of 74,206,-
900, 900 francs. On the same date the
minister Of the liberated regions re-
ported that an additional 22,500,000
francs would be necessary to COM
plete this restoration. 1t is hoped
however, that economies will bring
down the latter total to about 1885,
600 francs.
