Rhode Island Speeds Them y

Rhode Island is little State, but it
Is not a slow one. Being little State,
its road system is comparatively small
In mileage, but its traffic Is heavy, for
II is a busy Commonwealth. After
studying the situation the head OF the
newly created State police force has
decided that the only way to get the
traffic over the roads Is to speed 1t up,
and so orders have just been issued
that drivers must make 50 miles an
hour on all heavily travelled traffic
arteries or quit the road" The high
ways, the State police commander
declares, ARE too expensive to be
cluttered up with traffic moving at II
or 10 miles an hour
The rate of 35 miles an hour may be
s=safe one if cars are in good order, if
brakes are dependable and if drivers
are careful. Speed in itself is not the
essence of danger. An incompetent or
reckless driver may do great damag ge
to others as well as to himself at half
the 35-mile rate by breaking some
fundamental rule OF the road. Of
course, the reckless driver, going at
80 miles, is the greatest menace, for
his speed creates Il deadly momentum
In case anything goes wrong.
: Rhode Islands problem of keeping
the roads clear by keeping the traffic
moving is experienced in all Of the
congested portions Of the country. In
the neighborhood Of New York it is
particularly acute. Motor traffic has
increased 80 greatly that in the metro

auate 20 or even 10 years ago are now

BY GEORGE e. ROBERTS.

Sir Esme Howard, British Ambas-
sador at Washington, made a notable
speech short time ago before the
American Iron and Steel Institute,
touching particularly upon Great Brit
aims dependence upon foreign trade,
the grave state of unemployment in
her industries and the general need
for balanced trade relations to restore
prosperity throughout the world and
ito enable his country to meet her in
debtedness to the United States. He
said, in part:
THE main and greatest factor on
which we have to rely is the re-
establishment Of permanent peace in
Europe and the increase Of purchas-
ing power in foreign markets.
IF Great Britain cannot sell her
products abroad she cannot, of course,
continue to buy raw materials and
manufactured goods In the United
States in the same heavy quantities
as has been her custom. 1t Is, / am
sure, fully realized that Great Britain
could scarcely carry on an unfavor-
able trade balance with the United
States forever and yet pay the 80 odd
million pounds per annum required to
meet her Indebtedness to the United
States Government.
I'VE intend to meet our just debts,
but there may come time when, un-
less the world situation changes for
the better, unless we can return to
something like pre-war conditions of
credit and trade, it would be impos-
sible both to make heavy purchases
Of raw materials from the United
States and to pay the interest on our
debt. 1t does not require high-clas SIS
mathematician to see that. The pur-

Santa Darbara's Need.

Now that the earth has ceased
ouaking in California and the extent
Of the Santa Barbara disaster Is de-
termined, with a surprisingly small
loss of life, the financial aspect OF the
catastrophe is of primary considera-
tion. 1t now appears that the dam
age to property amounts to from s20,-
600 900 to s25 5000 900. Only 81 ,ooo- 600
In earthquake insurance was carried
by the property owners OF Santa Bar
bara. or one-tenth of the lowest estl-
mate of loss.
Plans for rebuilding have been
started already. Indeed. before the
earth had ceased auaking the citizens
were at work on ways and means OF
restoration They had provided re-
velving fund of 81 soc, 600 to assist in
clearing up the debris and starting
the reconstruction. The banks OF
Santa Barbara have sought.a "a loan OF
$4,000. 900 from the financial lnsti-
tutions Of the country. which un-
doubtedly will be forthcoming at once.
Supplies and funds for the immediate
nhysical relief of the people are
abundantly assured. The only prob
lem in connection with this reilef
work is the difficulty Of receipt and
storage Of goods owing to the dis
ruption of the railway facilities
In the rebuilding Of Santa Barbara
particular care will be exercised to re-
store the city to its original attractive
ness. 1t was one of the most artisticaiiy
designed communities in the Unlteo
states. with distinctive character
of architecture. Its Mission was
one of the noted landmarks OF Amer
ica. A special plea for help has been
sounded for the restoration OF the MIS-
sion. Engineers have gone from San
Francisco and Los Angeles to STUDY
the reconstruction problem and TO give
advice. Those in the former city nave
had experience in this work following
the disaster Of 1906.
Greatly rejoicing that the disaster AT
Santa Barbara is much less costly IN
terms of lives than seemed at nrst
likely, the country will lend every
possible aid to the stricken city Tor
it's recovery. The people OF Santa
Barbara have shown heroic spirit in
facing the disaster. They hope to
carry their own work. but will, OF
course, need immediate assistance,
which will be abundantly forthcoming.

Soft Coal Crisis Threatened.

a coal cloud has arisen on the in
danger of conflict between the op-
orators and miners in the anthracite
district of Pennsylvania, but Ill feel
ing is growing in the bituminous
fields 1t is time that the fullest light
be shed on both situations. so that
the public may know where the re-
sponsibility will lie should there be
a suspension OF work in the mines.
Public opinion is a vast power in the
United States, a po--er that may be
used with good effect in the interest
of the public at large.
President John l.. Lewis of the
United Mine Workers OF America, in
an address yesterday, made serious
charges against some Of the railroad
companies and large bituminous cor
porations, involving an abandonment
OF the wage agreement entered into
at Jacksonville, Fla, in 1924 cover
ing the bituminous union mines. He
asserted that huge conspiracy exists
to wreck the United Mine Workers.
II the operators are in fact violat.
ing wage agreements with the work
ers, the matter should be clearly set
forth. If large consumers Of coal are
placing their orders with non union
mines merely for the purpose Of wreck
ing the union. it is a matter that the
Iia rrriI1 toE tat -,
passing judgment should a conflict
arise.
On the other hand, there have been
complaints from the bituminous in
dustry that business is not so good
and if this be true. then the facts
should be fully developed.
Periodically, the public is threat
ened with the discomforts which fol-
low a coal strike. Fuel in this coun-
try, with its great industries that de-
pend upon coal to feed it's furnaces
and furnish employment and material
to the people and its millions Of homes
that must be heated to maintain
health, has taken on a vast public
interest. Unless the industry can be
operated without undue Interference
with the public's needs, there is every
indication that eventually the coal
mining industry will be dealt with as
are other public utilities, and regu-
lated by the Government. This may
not be a pleasant prospect for the
coal operators, or in fact, for the
coal miners, but it is one that they
would do well to consider

tiations for the adoption of a differ
entail in favor of Italy in the case Of
the American debt.
1t is evident that these debt negotia
tons, that with Italy soon to be fol-
lowed by q parley with Belgium and
later doubtless with France, will be
protracted. All Of the debtor nations
will profess their willingness to dis.
charge these obligations, and protest
their ability to pay on the same terms
that have been adopted in the case of
the British debt. This Is an unpleas-
ant business, collecting from the allies
of the United States in the Great War
moneys due from them, having been
borrowed from this country for the
prosecution of the war in Europe. The
b ole Of an international banker is not
an agreeable one, but it cannot be
abandoned. The only warrant for the
release Of these foreign debtors that
cat possibly be given IL by Congress

try. A vote to that effect is altogether
