FREE TRADE AND WORLD WELFARE

WORLD WELFARE
 A group of internationalists among which are listed Americans, have issued a plea for free trade among nations of the world which is, indeed, worthy of attention and which will probably cause consid- erable discussion among those seeking remedies for the ills of all peoples on the globe. There is much truth in the points the plea makes tariff walls which are so builded that the products of one nation are kept from the people of another naturally deterrents of such things as world markets. It is perfectly obvious that one nation must sell to another if it wishes to have the money to buy from another With the United States holding the money bags of the world it Is ob- vious that it must spend some of that money with other nations if it wishes those nations to buy it's products, contract credit for the future and pay bills of the past. It is an endless circle, this credit and trade system, much the same in it's international aspects as trade be- tween the butcher, the baker and the candle stick maker is in the local aspect. It is understood that the plea does not concern itself with our tariffs and it is question: able whether the American people would ever consent to the destruc- tion of the barriers against all products from other countries en- tering this one. They probably feel that they would have to adopt the same living conditions as exist abroad if they wished to meet competition of foreign workers And they do not wish to live as frugaly as the majority of foreign CTS. While they have the money they wish to spend 1t; they wish to have an opportunity to earn more, even at the cost of paying more for their necessities, many of which would be considered luxuries abroad.
 President Coolidge is of the opinion that industrial workers and owners prefer a tariff as protec- tion. He is unquestionably right in his opinion. Selfshness, of course, is the primary motive back of the ent in all of us more or less; in fact 1t may have prompted the ap- peal for free trade from bankers and others. They wish to see finan- l cial ease between nations and they have probably figured out the only way to get il.
 Eventually they will prove right, but the eventuality may be genera tions off and does not concern this one.
 It 1t trite 10 remark that what is for the good of all nations will be right in the long run; that in unity of purpose there is strength, even in this widespread world. Bankruptcy and abject poverty in one nation is bound, ultimately, to affect all na- tions, just as the failure of one bank in a community would affect all other banks in the same com munity. We are choosing a path that will have its turning some day. We actually may have to rescue some nation financially. with no loan connected with if. But, until that time we are thoroughly en- toying the position we find our selves in and those of us who bother to think at all about the matter are, with very few excep- tioRs, perfectly willing to let 1t slide for our sons to think about, secure in the belief that the crisis 1 will mi fnrn LIS

NORWAY ENDS HEX
 PROHIBITION

Human nature, the world over, is very similar. For that reason 1t IS interesting to read of the decision q. the people of Norway to cease prohibition of alcoholic liquors by law and allow the teachers of tenn perance to attempt to win a moral victory over the demon rum. We can, as we search for an explana- ton of the movement, but accept the words of the Associated Press telling of the campaign of Premier Lykke against prohibition.
 Premier Lykke has contend
 ed in public utterances that
 enforcement of the prohibition
 law was impossible, and that
 the measure led to contempt
 and disregard of all laws, to
 extensive smuggling aud incite-
 ment to drink. Various organi-
 zations urged the abandonment
 of prohibition on the ground
 that only the teaching of so-
 briety and temperance would
 be effective in eliminating the
 abuse of alcohol for beverage
 purposes.
 Norway has evidently learned lesson that this country has still to learn. How admirably the phrases accredited to the Premier sum up the situation in the United States.
 Endorsement of the prohibition law was impossible" It is impos- sible here? It seems so. despite the contentious of prohibition enforce ment agents who go about the country speaking to gatherings called together in order that those present might hear the words Of cheer they wish to hear, that the cause in which they are interested is advancing. Their "inferiority complex which led them to call for laws to prohibit alcohol be- cause they did not wish 1t for themselves, their desire to govern by force and not by education, their wish to deprive those about them of the privilege of choice, all Of their peculiarities are flattered by the astute politicians who speak to them. Such is our politi- cal system.
 "The measure led to contempt and disregard for all laws, to ex- tensive smuggling and to incite- ment to drink''-another quotation from the Premier, via the Asso- ciated Press. Unless our blindness l.. absolute we can lay measure against conditions here and come to the same conclusion.
 Congratulations to Norway. as- suming of course that its legisla- tive body will regard the will of the people and officially withdraw the prohibition law there. May the psychological reaction that is ex- pected occur there. May the people of the country, secure in the knowledge that they are to be al- lowed the freedom of drinking what they choose, when they choose, become broader, less prone to break the laws and more liable to exercise temperance than they would be otherwise. And con- gratulations that the weak sisters of the populace, who endeavor to breed q race of what they consider Christians by force. have seen the error of their ways, or that Norway has a government which is willing to consider the will of the ma jority and act accordingly. From the midst of the desert, painted by enforcement agents, we salute you of the oasis.

his medical education at George
Washington University and immedi-
ately went to China. This was 10
years ago. He is known as a pioneer
in medical evangelical work of the
denomination in China.
Settling in the province of Human,
he opened up a treatment room, mas
tered the Chinese language and
worked among the natives. Suspici-
Gus at first. the Chinese finally put
implicit confidence in his medical
ability and it was not long before he
was held In the highest esteem. Then
he was attacked by a native disease
somewhat similar to dissentary and
was forced to return to America. He
took over the medical management of
the Takoma Park Hospital which at
that time was almost insolvent, built
up large patronage for it and finally,
toward the closing years Of his super
intendency, turned in a surplus of
$4,000 annually for the foreign mis-
sion board. 1t is said of him that he
was the only man to make the insti-
tuition pay.
Cognizant of the sore need the
Chinese were in for medical attention,
DIR. Miller went back to the Orient
for a four months inspection trip
about three years ago. He returned
to this country, announced his inten-
ton of resigning from the hospital
and after much difficulty. finally had
it accepted. DIR. G. K. Abbott of
California was appointed to succeed
him.
DIR. Miller has four children, Ethel,
Maude, Willis and Clarence. All ex-
cept Ethel are in Shanghai with their
mother and DR.. Miller is taking Ethel
back with him. She was graduated
in June from the academic course of
the Washington Missionary College.
Mr.. Wood has devoted the last six
teen years of his life to building work
for the denomination. He erected
several buildings in the West Indies,
the new dormitories at the Missionary
College here and the large additions
to the sanitorium. His son, Wilton,
20 years of age, has specialized in
electricity and will assist in the con-
struction of the Shanghai Hospital,
which, exclusive of quarters for doc
tors, nurses, laboratories and opera
ton, will have about 80 rooms. The
hospital is to be operated at nominal
rates, although those patients unable
to pay anything will be treated free.

PO|NCARE VEER|NG
TO OEARLY DEBT OK.
Action Before Adjournment
Indicated, But Safeguarding
Clause Desired.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.


BY Cable TO The Star and Chicago Daily News.
PARIS, August 3-The French
government is hesitating between two
policies regarding the Washington
debt agreement. 1t would be possible
to get the London agreement through
Parliament, but not the washington
settlement. But the government dls-
likes to have one ratified without the
other and therefore apparently IN
tends to delay ratification of the Lon
don settlement until decision Is
reached regarding the washington
agreement.
4 The washington agreement has no
chance of ratification unless 1t Is ac-
companied by safeguard and trans
fer clauses. One proposal Is that
new negotiations toward this end
should be entered into with the
United States. The objection to that
course Is that with the American elec.
tions approaching, 1t is doubtful
whether anything could be accom-
plished before next January.
The other proposal Is that the
agreement should be ratified with
reservations concerning safeguards
and transfers. 1t is realized that
such ratification would be binding
only when and If the United states
accepted the French reservations, but
1t is felt that this would be useful
as indicating Frances sincere desire
to reach a settlement.
1t is hoped, however, that such ac-
ton by France might persuade the
American Government to allow
American banks to grant France
oradits for the stabiliZatiOn of the
franc. Otherwise, France Will be
obliged to seek short term credits
from Switzerland and Holland.

WILL RUN
IN LEGION CONTEST
Department Commander to
Change Plan if Costello
Post Backs Him.

Reversing his stand made known in
a telegram earlier today, Capt. julius
!. Peyser, commander of the District
of Columbia Department of the Amer
lean Legion, announced this after
noon that he would stand for re-
election if Vincent B. Costello Post,
of which he is a member, will back
him.
The telegram this afternoon was
sent to Thomas L. Walsh. com
mander of Costello Post, and in it
Capt. Peyser said: "Since sending
wire, have been persuaded to stand
for reelection if Costello Post will in
dorse me-" 1t came from Poland. Me,
where the comma nder is passing his
vacation.
The first telegram this morning
was sent to William F. Franklin,
Adjutant of Costello Post, and in 1t,
Capt. Peyser said he had notified
Walsh he would not seek reelection.
This first wire was followed by state
ments from members Of the Legion
that a factional fight had thereby
been avoided, as the action of Peyser's
friends last week in starting a boom
for a second term-thereby establish
ing a precedent-had precipitated a
controversy.
TO indorse a candidate, it has been
said will not indorse Peyser, but will
get behind Harlan F. Wood, chair
man of the veterans joint commit
tee, who, while not announcing his
candidacy, is said to be receptive.
Others i'm Field.
The election will take place during
the legion convention August 1928.
Other candidates are Howard S. Fisk,
Charles l.. Reimer and Brig. Gen.
Amos A. Fries, chief of the Chemical
Warfare Service of the Army.
Another development in the legion
today was the announcement Of Jo-
seph j. Idler, department adjutant,
that he would resign his post after
four years service, in August.
Idler was the center of a brief furry
earlier in the week when it became
known that he had sought to solicit
the support of other legion posts in
the country for the candidacy of Capt
Peyser for District Commissioner.
Criticized by Franklin for his move,
he charged the latter with playing
politics in an effort to block the re-
election of Peyser as department com
mander.
George Washington Post, No. l.,
will meet at its clubhouse on I street
tonight and is understood to be pre-
pared to indorse the candidacy of
Fisk, who has already been ap-
preached by groups from other
posts to run for legion commander.
George Washington Post is also ready
to back Gen. John ]. Pershing, COM
mander of the A. f. F., for national
commander of the legion at the ma
tional convention at Philadelphia, in
October.
While many friends of Fries, Fisk
and Reimer are behind them for COM
mander, adherents of Wood claim he
will be elected on the first ballot
Franklin was informed today that
the support of Tank Corps Post, Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing Post
and Past Commander Peckham have
been promised to Wood.

Will Complete Task.
Takoma Superintendent
Has Made Notable Rec

Dr. Harry W. Miller, who until last
year was superintendent of the Ia
koma Park Hospital, Is en- route to
China to begin construction of AZ
100000 hospital in Shanghai, the first
unit of a large medical building pro-

ventists have undertaken. DIR. Miller
is accompanied by f. G.. Wood, an
architect for the Adventists and well
known in Washington, and Wilton
Wood. the latter's son, an electrician
who will assist in the task.
The story behind this announce
ment from the headquarters here of
the Seventh Day AdventistS denom-
ination is another example of the
work Of science and religion among
heather. Not only has DIR. Miller
converted thousands with the sur
geop's knife and his religious teach

number of the wealthy Chinese to as

A prominent Chinese woman in
possession of a fortune suffered from
large goitre on her throat. She
consulted several American physicians
in Shanghai and they refused to oper-
ate. They called in DIR. Miller, and
when asked to perform the operation,
he did. The woman completely re-
covered and to show her gratitude.
she went among her friends singing
the praise of DIR. Miller and his small
hospital, which resulted in such a
food of patients that the building
could not accommodate them.
DIR. Miller was forced to obtain
larger quarters. He returned to
America a short time ago secured an
appropriation of 100000 from the
foreign mission board of his denom-
ination, and now is en- route to en-
large the medical work. He is di-
rector of all medical activities in the
Far East and his program calls for
the erection of institutions in China
and Japan.
DIR. Miller has received from his
wealthy Chinese friends promise of
financial assistance in his undertak-

have been made and when the $1,000

are canvassed it is expected few If any
