American Shipping
Moves Onward

When the St. Lawrence water
way is constructed we will prob
ably find plenty of ocean ships
ascending TO the Great Lakes,
taking cargoes from Chicago, De-
troit, Cleveland and other ports
to places on the other side of the
world. 1t will be a great thing.
But it won't be altogether new.
Ocean ships have penetrated to
the lakes before this. Two ships
have cleared from Cleveland to
London this year, for example,
and others have called at Detroit.

A Born
Fisherman

The following, captioned "A
Born Fishermac," we clip from
Times Tickles, bright column
in the Valdosta Times:
Too tired to work,
Too tired to walk;
Too tired to read,
Too tired to talk;
Too tired to eat,
Too tired to drink;
Too tired to write,
Too tired to think.
Too tired to ride,
Too tired to row;
Too tired to stay,
Too tired to go.
Too tired to want.
Too tired to wish,
But never too tired
To set and fish.
We wonder how many born
fishermen could be found-well.
let's say in Georgia.

WASHINGTON, Nov 49, Presid
ent Coolidge one of whose main ambi
tons, as everybody knows, is to rid
the government of every bureau, div
ision, commission and board it can
possibly do without, and to consoli-
date the rest, got lot of valuable
tips from Count Giuseppe Volpi di
Misurata while the ITALIAN debtsettle-
ment negotiations were going on
here.
As premier Mussolini's minister of
finance, the count took a leading
part in boiling the Rome government
down to fraction the size of the un
wieldy thing the fascist chieftain
found on his hands when he pro-
claimed his dictatorship.
1t was just the story of fall like
music on thrifty presidential ear.
Some say that, from the minute he
heard it, the national executive favor
ed giving the Italians better terms.
But that's joke.
1893
At any rate, self-contained as he
usually is, all accounts agree that he
glowed with interest and admiration
as Volpi described, through an inter
prefer, The thoroughness of Mussol-
ini's JOB
More than 80 bureaus were abol-
ished in three years, personnel, of
fices, duties and all. Many other
were merged. The economy amount
ed to millions and the government.
the count said, is more efficiently
administered today than ever before.
OF course this is the fascist version,
Nolpi being one. Evidently others
dispute it, or Mussolini's assassina-
ton wouldn't have been attempted
few days ago.
Senator Smoot, one of the Amer
lean debt negotiators, is quoted as
wondering why the Italian premier,

solidating some of Finance Minister

and names.
It's noteworthy that Senator
Smoot kept his feet of the table dur

minutes at one stage of the nego-

Public Control of
Superb over

writing on the subject OF PR
vate ownership of electricity as
against public ownership, the
Saturday Evening Post OF a re-
cent date said:
For all practical purposes, cleo
tricity is a new force.
"Ihe past few years have wit
messed an expansioL in the light
and power business that with the
exception of building of railroads
in earlier days and development
of the automobile more recently,
has but few parallels in the history
Of industry
The Governor of one Of our
great states warns citizens
that superpower will unless CON
trolled by the public = be su-
preme in industry, finance, com
merce, agriculture, politics and
Our everyday life. + Therefore,
it must be controlled by the peo-
pie"
Convincing on the foregoing
statement, which is a preliminary
argument in favor of public own
ership of the electric industry OF
centralized federal control of the
industry, The Post remarks:
What magic is to be found in
public control greater than we now
have? Practically every state has
railroad or utility commission
that regulates the rates, finances
and earnings of these companies.
ALREADY the centralized bu-
reaucy of federal government is
unweildy; citizens will hesitate to
intrust to its further enormous
functions reaching into every nook
and Granny of the land. How
are clerks and commissioners to
run the country from Washington?
consolidation in the power
field is both desirable and newt
able; but now that this indispensa-
bic process is under way the cry
of hurtful monopoly is raised. The
necessity of interconnected lines
and of larger power units is ad
mitted by all; the question is how
far the public shall control the
great resulting system.
In one respect the electric pow
er companies have shown real
craftsmanship. In selling so much
stock to their customers and en-
plOyes they are trying to prove that
the corporations are not the allen
and more less unassimilable ele-
ment' we are so often lead to be-
lieve they are.
What the public wants is serv-
ice and it instinctively feels that
If bushes enterprises can and does
furnish service, the job had better
be left there rather than transfer
red to an unwieldy government
bureaucracy. For the simple
truth is that no general public con-
fidence in the ability of govern
ment control to produce the desired
service exists in this country"
The American public does not
want PUBLIC ownership of any
of its industries provided the pub
lie is given a square deal. 1t ex-
poets to pay price that will give
the industry a fair profit, but it
does object to paying interest on
huge amounts of watered stock
on hydro-electric lines that are
capitalized for two and three
times their actual cost or value.
Each State has its public service
commission, but too often the
public interest is forgotten anc
the request of the corporation
granted when it should have beer
refused.
IF the electric industry-or any
other, for that mattel-is PLACES
under public ownership, it will b.
because the public did not get ;
square deal and it had to resor
to public ownership in protecting
its Interests.

 We passed through vegetation similar to that at Khoung Kyew until we struck the Chaulmoogra forests. There we seperated into smaller parties and the seed-collect, Ing began in earnest.

AIR BOARD REJECTS
MITCHELL'S PLANS
Fighting Force Equals Any
'.Flying Collins" Dis
credited.

Washington. - President Coolidge's
aircraft board, in its report, made
public here, rejected all the major
recommendations of Colonel Mitchell.
The report held Mitchell's criticism
OF Americas collapse in the air to be
untrue, made a series of technical
recommendations. to give aviation a
better standing in the army and navy
and urged the country to take the
lead over the world in commercial
aviation.
The board, headed by Dwight w.
Morrow, made these statements to
President Coolidge:
Americas fighting air forces are on
a par with any of the world powers.
Uncle Sans flyers are unsurpassed,
despite their resentment that the air
service has at times failed of proper
recognition by the army and navy
chiefs
In both quality and quantity of
planes the United States compares
favorably with any other nation.
The air forces, as an arm of ma
tional defense, have as yet failed to
Justify an Importance which should
give them separate standing, equal
to the army and navy. with sepa
rate cabinet officer in command.
Combination of the War, Navy and
Air departments in a department Of
national defense with a single secre-
tary would require a super-general
staff. which would not make for econ
omy in time of peace or efficiency in
time of war.
The United States is absolutely
without danger Of attack by air from
any potential enemy.
The flaming collins" in which avi-
ators are alleged to fly against their
will, have actually flown 100000
miles across country without a single
accident.
The next war may start in the air
but IN all probability will end as the
last one did. in the mud
Among recommendations for the air
service were:
Increased appropriation for army
and navy air services. but with def
mite plans for no longer than five
years. Maintain naval aviation at a
strength comparable with that of the
5-5-9 ratio established for ships by the
arms conference for Great Britain, the
