New Jersey has title to an oil field
in Roumania, and now is trying to
avoid the partial confscation OF it's
value, forced by the Bratiano regime
under the terms of a new law which
purports to bring all oil operations
under the control OF Roumanian ma

sonally interested in companies that
expect to grab the foreign oil hold
ings.
Moreover. payment for lands taken
by the Roumanian government from
foreign owners is being offered in cur

Hoover Was Caught Out.

WASHINGTON Up Secretary
Hoover has issued formal denial of
the interview statement in which
Frederick Mckenzie, former Moscow
correspondent of the Chicago Daily
News. claimed that Hoover said the
United States would not move toward
recognition of the Soviet Union until
certain Russians formerly employed
by the American relief administration
should be let out of prison. And he
did not expect his threat to be quoted
in America, where II could be checked
up by the White House and state de-
partment.
"Mr. Hoover made no statement
upon the policies of the American
government" says his denial. HE
did express his Indignation at the
treatment OF members of the Russian
staff of the A. r. A. Mr.. Hoover
wanted his position known in Russia
only. He misunderstood Mr.. Mac
Kenzie when the latter asked his
permission 20 use the material in the
United States. Mr.. Hoover, naturally,
does not wish anyone to think that
he would try to express officially the
American governments attitude to-
ward Russia, since to do that would
be entirely out of his province"

Kellogg and HOOuer in
Conflicting Statements

WASHINGTON, D. C. - Whom the
Coolidge administration permits two
contradictory statements Of Its Rus
elan policy to break Into frontpage
print In one day-one from Secretary
Of State Kellogg, notifying American
diplomats abroad that no change In
attitude ls at present being made,
and another by Secretary Of Com
meroe Hoover, fatIy asserting that
until the Soviet Union releases GER
tain Of Its citizens from prison the
United States will never recognize
Mosoow-the world knows that the
Russian problem Is worrying Wash
Ington.
kelIoggs Letter Leaks Out
Kellogg's circular letter to smbas-
sailors and ministers leaked out in
Paris. Its date has thus far been sup
pressed, but it is unoff1cially declared
to be about April 7.
That would be about the time the
Sinclair oil concern made its protest
against the Japanese oil concession in
Saghalien. 1t was before the Bull
garian outbreaks began.
At the White House and state de-
partment It is explained as being a
mere detail Of Office routine-a reply
to inquiries as to whether the new
head Of the department meant to be-
gin negotiations with the Soviets. The
official explanation is that the circu-
lar was not meant to set a policy for
the future, but to report on what had
taken place at that date.
It's the Hand of Mckenzie.
Hoover, on the other hand, in 4
copyrighted interview with the former
Moscow correspondent of the Chicago
Daily News, Frederick Mckenzie, de-
clares that the Soviet Union will
never get even a discussion Of renew
al of relations with the United States
until it shall have restored to liberty
certain Russians alleged to have been
punished on false charges Of espion-
age after the American Relief Admin
istration, which had employed them,
withdrew from Russia.
Chairman Borah of the senate for
eign relations committee, who keeps
careful watch Of Russian develop
ments, says that he never heard of
the Imprisonment or exile Of any
of Hoover's former employees on such
charges, and certainly the matter has
never before been mentioned as a
reason for delaying recognition. To
interfere in the relations between a
foreign government and its citizens
is something new in American policy.
Hoover, in this case, has butted
into the field of the state department
even more forcibly than he did in the
early weeks of the Hughes regime.
He will presumably be reminded by
President Coolidge that the White
House is now directing foreign policy.

THE EVOLUTION sQUABBLE

1 In Dayton, Tennessee, little town
 of about 1900 persons, Friday will oc-
 eur a trial which threatens to rock
 the civilized world. The Tennessee 1 legislature, conservative and medic
 val organization, passed law making
 1t misdemeanor to teach evolution
 in the public schools of the State. l The legislators objected to being made
 monkeys of and banned the Darwinian l theory outright. Prof. John T. Scopes, a modernist of considerable ability, disregarded the law and instructed his classes in the theory of evolution as l she is written by eminent scientists. He was arrested and William Jennings Bryan, who has never sufficiently re- covered from the mouth disease fol- 1 lowing long residence in the West. offered his services to prosecute MT. Scopes, as evolution is anathema to the celebrated lecturer and politician. Clarence Darrow, an eminent Chicago
 criminal lawyer, realizing the value of advertising, immediately offered to
 defend Mir. Scopes, and one by one,
 like cocoanuts in grove, prominent
 attorneys of the land have taken sides
 for or against the Tenessee pedagog. 1 The originator of the trouble stands
 aghast at the turmoil he has created
 in pedagogical waters, while the town | citizens, not averse to taking advan- tage of its opportunity are prepar.
 ing to handle the crowds.
 It seems to us that a tempest in a
 teapot has been raised over small
 question. Many of us have seen a
 good monkey spoiled by evoluting into
 a man, and on the other hand we have
 seen many monkeys with more brains
 than man who wastes his time and
 grey matter attempting to prove he
 IS direct descendant of an ape. MT.
 Bryan is using his talents to prosecute man who probably knows as little or his line of ancestors as does the Florida lecturer. Man may have been of arboreal tendencies years ago ana again he may have been more civilized than the average evolutionist of today.
 Those of us who believe they are meal descendants of long line of apes have right to their contention. In fact, they have proved it in our mlnd Every man knows his own an cestors far better than do strangers, ana IS entitled to consideration and nearing when he desires to parade them before credulous public.

HOW MANY CAN BE FED

As nearly as can be estimated, the population of the world reached S5C million in 1900 and in the century between that and 1900 it practically doubled. It is now about 1,750 mil lion.
 When it is considered that it took the human race possibly half a mil. lion years to reach the first $50 mil lion and only 100 years to double that number, the fact is significant Looking to the future, it must be re- membered that human life is being heightened and preserved thru better observance of the laws of science; also, that if future wars can be reduc- ed, still greater increases may be ex- pected.
 The question naturally arises, for how many people can the earth SUD- ply the necessary food? When. if ever, will famine become general, in- stead of occasional and local, as in the past and present?
 So far, there is ample food in the world, if it could be distributed where it is needed. But right now hundreds of thousands in the Near East, in Russia, in India, in China and in many other parts of the world are dying, either directly or indirectly from lack of food.
 In the past hundred years vast new areas of fertile land have been open. ed up to cultivation, but famine ex. ists, partly through congestion of populations and partly through lack of transportation.
 While this problem may not ser. iously affect America for several gen. erations, at the present rate of in. crease in population it will only be a question of time until the food situa. ton will be grave one for the entire world, unless some improved chemi. cal means for sustaining life can be practically developed
 Probably the civic cll Js of the fu-- ture will be trying to get rid of people, instead of boos ting for bigger towns.

LABoR's FIRST BANKER

Death claimed Warren s. Stone re gently, removing one of the outstand ing chiefs of labor, who had led his followers into the capitalistic class.
 MT. Stone was the first president o1 the first labor bank in the United States, the Cooperative National Bank of Cleveland, which was opened 1T 1920, starting with resources of $500, 900 which were increased to $25,000, 900 in three years. Similar banks ir several other cities have met success
 As grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers he saw the adoption of compulsory life insurance for all it's members, the 90,000 Oi whom carry life, sickness and acci dent insurance aggregating approxi mately s200,OO0,O0O.
 Warren S. Stone was born on an Iowa farm, began his railroad career as fireman and when elevated to head of the Brotherhood in 1903, he was still holding a run in the engi. neer's cab of a Rock Island locomo- tive.
 MT. Stone was conservative la, Dor leader and piloted his organiza- tion thru many troubulous periods without strike. He was quoted as saying:

LAWS AND CORRUPTION

In a recent speech in Baltimore, the Very Rev. William Ralph Inge, dean of St. Paul's Cathedral, Lon. don quoted an aphorism of Cicero: Tn the most corrupt nation you have the most laws"
 There has never been in all history people burdened with so many laws as exist in the United States today. Whether we have the most corrupt nation is to some extent matter of opinion, but heaven knows it is bad enough.
 Still the reformers are clamoring for more laws. Where it will all end no man can foretell. It appears that when we elect legislature or a congress, presumably of men who are individually intelligent and hon. est, immediately they assemble they become crazy, irresponsible mob.
 Men whose lives have been, on the oaAio dC ACGSt, lolAIy dUOfC 1CPA O1S4 in the ordinary relations of life, are frequently drawn into paths of folly high office.
 Many who remain personally hon. est devote themselves to tinkering with the constitution and devising schemes to create additional battal- ions to swell the army of worse than useless officeholders already feeding at the public crib.
 Thoughtful men are beginning to realize the seriousness of the situa- tion. Only by an aroused public sentiment can we hope to stop the orgy of lawmaking and lawbreaking which threatens our national struc- ture and makes of liberty a mockery

LOVE OF YOUR WORK

Several instances have come to no tice recently which seem to discredit the old theory that in order to be a success one should follow a congenial line of work
 It is said that the late Joseph Con. rad, the most famous Of. recent au. thors of sea stories, hated the sea and detested writing.
 o. o. Mcintyre tells of a leading and successful New York theatrical producer who has deep antipathy to actors and actresses and despises the theater; also of a man who has made fortune as a florist, but who does not care for flowers and is nauseated by their perfume.
 Now comes Irving S. Cobb, one of Americas most famous writers and humorists, with the statement that he utterly dislikes writing, but keeps at 1t because he doesn't want to be a loafer, or words to that effect.
 The average newspaper man will tell you that he loathes the eternal grind, but somehow you could not drive him out of it Many musicians suffer mental torture when before an audience-and so it goes.
 These may be exceptions to the rule, but the lesson to be drawn from the instances noted is that determina- don to do good work will develop ability and bring success, whether one likes his job or not.
