official possession of the islands, and pending the enforcement of the Sval- bard Law now before the Norwegian parliament, there is no Norwegian governor, law court, policeman, GUS toms officer or tax collector in all Spitzbergen, and it is the coal com panies' writ that runs throughout the archipelago or as much of it as is inhabited.
 Rules and regulations have to be pretty strict in mining camps with floating populations like those in Spitzbergen. Unauthorized drink -traf- fic is put down with a stern hand. The companies understandings with ship captains is that any clandestine liquor trading by their subordinates is not to be tolerated. Of course, smuggling occurs once in a while but detection entails very severe penalties on guilty parties, who have their credit on the companies books docked by $25 for a first offense. Subsequent infringements may entail social ostracism and deportation from the islands, but the extreme penalty is seldom enforced.

Hindembnyg Election
Considered Stupid by
Washington Officials

of those highest in the administration
are inclined to agree with Lloyd
Georges terse Characterization of the
election of Won Hindenburg as "extra-
ordi~erily stupid
Whatever disappointment there is
appears to SAVIOR only little Of anxiety
over the old German soldier may be
able to do with the sharply circum.
scribed prerogatives Of the German
presidency. The dominating thought is
rather one of surprise and shock over
the index to popular German thought
given by the election.
The international effort to facilitate
German recuperation all has been based
on the theory that the German people
had been misled during the war by a
small militaristic autocracy. The cleo.
ton, in which central figure of that
autocracy was the successful candida,
appears to some officials to destroy that
theory entirely.
