ating SlownesS and waste, nevertheless
the thing did function and conditions
were tolarable.
Today all is changed. Big countries
and little countries face appalling
problems. But in this crisis the old
evils assume a different Importance.
The inability of parliamentary mem
bers and groups to agree over pre-
war issues did not bring paralysis. be-
cause the machine was funCtioning:
nothing new was required. But today
the existence of millions of people, the
prosperity of countries and the sound
ness of national finance depend upon
the ability of parliaments. not alone
to adopt new and far-reaching
projects, but to put them through.
And SO far, from one end of the
continent to the other, from Brussels
to Athens, from Madrid to Warsaw.
the parliamentary machine has been
unable to function and the masses of
people are becoming more and more
impatient, angry, willing to under
take what must seem to Americans a
dangerous experiment. No crisis. no
danger. no evil seems sufficiently
great to coerce members of different
small political groups into any form
OF combination.
The international situation has inn
proved and seems destined to con-
tinue to improve because on this ques-
ton it is possible to enlist maiorities
in all countries. The French Chamber
and the German Refchstag, no matter
what the divisions between groups,
can always muster the votes to put
through things like the Locarno pacts;
because there is here an agreement
which runs through most ranks of life
in all nations and exercises its inf1u-
ence upon all groups. We are then
escaping from the appalling mess of
the postwar period despite the limita-
tions of parliamentary methods.
But as the international situation
clears up, the national, the domestic,
grows worse and worse in many coun-
tries. 1t is relatively simple to come
to an agreement with Germany by
which the status quo is assured-I
say relatively simple, for, of course
for France it is never simple-but
when it is a question of domestic tax
alton, when every group is resolved

combination of constituencies, to re-

Shortage of Crude Rubber
By 1880 Is Forecast by u. S. Expert

The worlds demand for crude rub
ber will exceed the supply by $4,000
tons in 1880 unless some plan of relief
is adopted. This future shortage,
which is actual, is troubling Congress
almost as much now as the artificial
shortage brought on by English re
Striction of rubber expectation, which
makes the price so high at present.
In hearings now being conducted by
the foreign and interstate commerce
committee of Congress to investigate
the high price of rubber, Paul L. Pal
merton, chief of the Rubber Division
of the Department of Commerce,
brought out that there We're -four
methods by which Americans might
combat the high prices caused by the
present artificial shortage. One was a
campaign for more conservative use
of what we have, making 1t last
longer.
Substitutes were another possibility.
Reclaimed rubber. although lacking
some of the qualities of fresh natural
rubber, could be mixed with new rub
Der in certain proportions for the
manufacture of some articles wherein
natural rubber had been used almost
exclusively in the past.
In certain places. such is in the
treads of tires, the use Of reclaimed rub
ber decreases tno QurdD IeStS OH
tire treads have shown that up to a
certain point the durability is de-
creased regularly as the percentage
of reclaimed rubber is increased.
Synthetic rubber has been unsuc-
cessful commercially so far, although
Germany, during the latter part of
the war, was producing 10000 kilo-
grams of synthetic rubber per month.
1t is costly to produce and lacks elias
ticity, but it serves quite well in the
manufacture Of hard-rubber products.
The stimulation of production of
wild rubber in the Amazon Valley was
another suggestion made by Mr.. Pal
merton, and the fourth was co-opera-
tive buying.
In view of the actual shortage which
is prospective for us, he estimated
that a million to a million and q half
more acres of rubber need to be plant

By ROBT UNDERWOOD JOHNSON,

Former Ambassador TO Italy and Secretary of
the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
1t is odd that Italy, the home and
fountain head of academies, should
never have had one comprehensive
body including its most distinguished
men OF science. literature and the
arts. 1t is a significant comment on
the vigor and vitality of her intel
lectual life in the Renaissance and
In the two succeeding centuries that
at one time more than 700 local
academies We're in existence within
her borders. Italian unity, conceived
by Dante, had rot yet taken po-
litical or intellectual form. Lorenzo
de Medici had established in Florence
almost the earliest of these bodies,
peripatetc group on the model of
that Of Plato, and today in the parlor
of the monastery of Camaldoli on the
Upper ArnO there is an inscription
recording that it met in that room
In that serene and secluded mountain
forest was found the still air of de-
lightful studies The famous Della
Cruscans followed, and in 1903 was
organized the Academia del Lincei
(of the lynXesl. Of which Galileo was
a member and which now IS perha ps
the foremost scientific academy of
Italy. These are but a few Of it's re
nowned institutions. which in the
various cities gather into influential
groups the learning and the genius
of the peninsula.
Will Represent Nation.
II has been left to Mr.. Mussolini
and his cabinet to establish a Royal
Academy which shall represent Italy
as a whole, as France is represented
by the Academic F'rancaise, or. shall
we say, by the Institut de France,
composed of five academies. In the
new body, instead of the 40 members
of France. or the 80. OF the American
Academy of Arts and Letters (science
being left TO our National Academy
of ScienceSl, there are to be 60 mem =
bers equally drawn from science,
literatu and the arts, and it is to
be the peak of co-ordinated local
academies all over Italy. 1t is un-
doubtedly an important step in the
purpose Of unifying and stimulating
the national purpose. The Royal
Academy is to have the full financial
and moral support of the state and
amounts TO a new department Of the
government.
