market, and the point is made that of all the
prospective points of output the Phinpplnes
rate the first consideration.
There is no need to go into the question or
American rubber demand. This country is
the largest consumer of rubber In the world,
and the indications are that the total amount
of the product used here will grow considerably
during the next few years. The tire manu-
facturers going to an increased total
of rubber of that there can be little doubt; and
IL their needs can, in the future. receive atten-
tion from American rubber producers so much
the better all around.
1t must be borne in mind, of course, that
some years must necessarily elapse between
these active discussions of rubber planting and
receipt Of the product by manufacturers here
That the United States Government will do
all in its power to aid in the establishment
upbuilding and maintenance of an American
rubber growing industry seems certain. That
is, it will doubtless give to rubber planters the
benefit of expert knowledge, technical advice as
we'll as legislative protection. The lead in the
recent rubber case was taken by Secretary
Hoover; he has brought the attention of the
country to an unhealthy situation and 1t can
be expected that the Government will not
withdraw its benevolent attitude once actual
production gets under way.

Aside from direct saving of well into the

to time when the supply of rubber will not

in the hands of domestic producers. Or at least
a significant proportion of the supply, enough
perhaps to WELD a balance of power.

Few Drug Addicts
Are Actually Cured

While addiction to morphine and
heroin in Great Britain Is growing
rare, a complete cure, especially Of
the heroin addicts, Is difficult to OBJ
tain. This is the finding of an investi-
eating committee Of physicians which
has reported to parliament.
Since harmful use OF drugs has
often resulted from their use in med
ical treatment. the committee warned
practitioners to administer drugs with
caution, especially in the case of very
young patients. The most important
predisposing cause Of addiction was
found to be inherent mental or
nervous instability, although chronic
pain, insomnia, overwork and anxiety
are also prevalent causes. According
to one medical witness examined by
the committee, there Is, however,
danger in some cases Of administer
ing the drug too late. The worn-out
patient has such intense relief that
the possibility of the habit becoming
fixed is all the greater.
OF the three methods of treatment,
the abrupt. the rapid and the grad
ual withdrawal of the drug, the last
Is recommended by the committee as
the most suitable, rs 1t places less
strain upon the patient and is unat-
tended by collapse. Only Is to 20
per cent of the addicts treated achieve
a lasting cure. The experts declared
that more successful results could be
obtained If the United Kingdom pos
sessed more institutions where spe-
cial treatment was available which
could be made compulsory for all
addicts.

There are<some people here. as

That Is the one outstanding character
istic of the British people; they no
more think of repudiating their debt
than YOU think of resembling it. We
agree to pay the United States of
America the principal and interest on
our debt within a certain period, and
whatever the details that have been
arranged at Washington are. they will

not heard single Englishman or Eng
lishwoman say that he or she was not
anxious to pay the debt to the United

My countrymen at first did not re-

Germany's foreign policy is embodied
in one word-Locarno After the re-
turn of its delegates from Geneva the
Luther Stresemann cabinet secured an
approval Of that policy by great
majority, extending from the Peoples S
party to the Social Democratic party.
Il now seems to be destined for a long
life.
The word "Locarno" explains at the
same time the difficulties which met
the acceptance of Germany into the
League of Nations. The Locarno
agreement enjoins Germany's right to
powers that agreed to this pact with
Germany and guaranteed Germany a
seat in the Council of the League at

lands acquiescence. had to assure the
Polish foreign minister Of a place in
the council. The question of increas-
ing the size of the council, which had
been dormant for years, in this way
became acute Germanys entrance
finally was shipwrecked on the oppo-
sition of Brazil, who would not let
Germany into the council If she could
not come in.
BraziTs Position Not Clear.
1t may be questionable what the real
motives for Brazil's action were. But
the motives of Brazil's delegates to
the League Of Nations meeting stirred
up a problem important to the world
and also to Germany-the relation be-
tween the league for peace for all ma
tions and the peace pacts Of individual
nations, such as the Locarno pact. AT
Locarno Cunder English patronage and
with the cooperation of italy, peace
between Germany and France was
finally concluded. This laid the corner
stone for peace throughout western
and central Europe. All parties to
this agreement (that Is. all European
powers) considered no price too high
to win thfs goal. The contracting
statesmen believed that to secure this
high goal-to bring peace to an or
ganization Of the whole world that Is.
the League Of Nations(-would not be
involved In carrying out the promises
which Chamberlain and BRAND had
made. This was q mistake. Brazil
asked: Is the Locarno agreement a
little stone in the large building of the
League of Nations, or shall the Palace
Of Nations become q wing of the Cas-
tie Of Locarno? In other words: Shall
Europe become dictator over the coun-
tries of the world?

Critics who have stressed its difficulty and

touched upon something of its attractlveness.
1t will be pioneering work. so far as the
United States is concerned, and an industrial
project of the most glamourous variety.

things most difficult of accomplishment are

No country is better placed than TINS 10

American technical skill is well known and the

There need be no fear on the part of those

that their efforts will be devoted TO declining
industry; that sentiment will be the only point
