WELSH COAL

Arrival Of a steamship at New Haven loaded with Welsh coal is reminder that there Is no coal strike in the Welsh anthracite fields and that the thrifty overseas brokers in the product are willing 10 sell to all corners, be they near at hand or 5000 miles away. In- deed. reports are 10 the effect that many steamers heading westward across the Atlantic are loaded with the Welsh product and that 1t will be burned in many American homes. The supply of Welsh coal Of course, Is scarcely likely to go very far towards alleviating the de- mand for anthracite during the strike, but in important seaboard cities where the situation is most acute, 1t may be able to serve a good purpose. f
 The Welsh coal brought to New Haven Is said 10 be headed for Hartford and vicinity.
 Americans usually are not overly keen 10 purchase an imported article if they can get the same thing made in America at a req sonable figure; but in the case of imported coal it is different. Every ton of it imported means that much more coal in a sadly depleted mar kct and is welcome.

A teacher who is a very good friend of mine told me that recently she found a little Italian girl in her class who was very dull in Cram mar.
 So my friend finally sent for Rosics mother and the following conversation took place:

ALrOMOEILE PRoDUCTION

Althouch the production of au- tomobilrs In the United States and Canada incroayol during 1925 - and there arc expectations of still further increase during 1926 tho number of automobile manu- facturors radically decreased, ac- cording to figures provided by the T.. s. commerce department. There were 2l6 manufacturers Of auto mobiles at tho beginning of 1924, while ut the finish there were only I79. This high mortality within a prosperous industry indicates the nature Of the competition.
 Mergers may have accounted for some of the casualties in the in dustry; but there can be little doubt that most of tho plants which gave up the ghost wore m- able 10 lrcp ID the pac" in com petition with the better known makes, l',w people, in fret, realize that there are still 179 different concerns manufacturing automo- piles and trucks.
 From is infancy the automobile business has hocn one of strenuous ! competition and almost everyone can remember makes of machines which now arc no more, "Orph2n'' cars have been driven in every city ycors after they have ceased 10 be manufactured.
 One of ,hc prime requisites in tho autonohiD. business is an elf
 cirnt sales organization. It is noi enough 10 manufacture a good cal

AIRCRAFT ITEMS
 SLASHED BY HOUSE
Butler Leads Fight Against Navy
 Supply Bill

Washington, Jan. 2S Pl-The na- " department appropriation bill en- countored a choopy sea in the House yesterday, and was stripped by points of order of sections carrying approximately s90O0,O0o for now aircraft construction during tho next fiscal year.
 Those steering its legislative course were unable 10 guide the measure to port before adjourn ment, and tomorrow face q vote on an amendment 10 eliminate an- other section 10 provide $S00o,000 for the navy to contract with the Aircraft Development Corporation, backed by Ford interests, for an all metal airship.
 The legislative sea was churned up by an open breach between the two House committees charged with the handling of naval affairs, Chair man Butler of the naval committee charging the appropriations naval sub committee with infringing on the authority of his group.
 Butler Leads Fight
 Mr. Butler led the fight against the appropriations for new aircraft on the ground that tho expenditure had not been authorized by his com mittee. which. under house rules, has original Jurisdiction in such matters.
 The chair sustained him on points of order against provisions in the bill to appropriate S4.962,000 for "new construction and procure mcnt of aircraft and equipment" " and 10 authorize the secretary of the navy to make contracts up to $4,100,000 for other new equipment.
 Mr. French, republican, Idaho, who headed the appropriations na- val sub committee, opposed MT. But ler's contentious, holding that au- thority for the expenditures had been authorized under previous laws but was overruled in his position by MT. Lehlbach, republican, New Jer- sey, presiding.
 Mir. Lehlbach. however, sustain led Mir. French on the s300,O0O item ruling that authority existed for the appropriation and rejecting MT Buffers point of order against the proposal. The house. by vote oi 95 to 66, sustained this ruling when MT. Butler appealed from the de- cision of the chair.
 MT. Butler then offered an amend ment to eliminate the SS00,O00 sec tion, but the house adjourned be fore a vote was taken. ].
 Although it is not expected an ef' fort will be made to restore the air craft appropriations before fina passage of the bill, it appears prob able that Mir. Buffers committee will authorize appropriations ap' proximating the amount eliminated His opposition was based solely or the ground of the right of an ap propriations committee to recon< mend such expenditures, and he did not question the advisability of these proposals.
 Ford Plans Opposed
 He did, however, question of thu advisability of the $300,000 item Although not mentioning eithel Ford or the corporation by name he asserted his committee now wal holding hrarings to determine a pol icy for lighter-than-air development and that the all-metal project wa move 10 have the government bea a pert of the expense of experiment ing with new type of aircraft.

BINGHAM ON THE COURT

The pastors Of New Britain who wrote to Senator Hiram Bingham urging him 10 do his utmost 10 facilitate passage Of the resolution having as Its aim American ad- herence 10 the World Court ought to be satisfied at the result. sena- tor Bingham has pledged his word 10 them that he will do his full share in bringing about American entry and at the same time as- sured the pastors that in his opin- ion there was little doubt of tho ultimate result.
 In this particular instance we are inclined to agree with the senator The irreconcilablcs headed by Sem ators Borah and Reed of Missouri nave sprung their best bolts and it is not exaggerated to say that they have left the nation cold. The claim hat it is some species of money power that is seeking 10 entanglc he United States in the World Court, that We would lose our sov- ereignty, and that we would find tho Monroe Doctrine and Japanese eX- clusion decided against us by the court, have failed to be the scare crows they were designed to be. The fact is that nothing can be weighed in the court without the consent of one of the participants'in the discus son. and at any event 1t is the in ention of the Senate proponents of ,ho court 10 enter with specific re- .'oryations on this point.
 The reservations that the handful { irrcconcilables want attached to our entry, if that should come bout. are Of q piece with their statements generally and would not only vitiate the benefits of Amori- can entry but would in all probabiIi- ,ty be unacceptable to the other na- lions in the court.
 Then there is the claim that thc World Court is the creature of tn, League of Nations, and that by en- iering the former we will be enter ing the latter. This argument is brought forth by the irrcccncilablrs in order to scar" those who in al sincerity still oppose the League }hcre may hc many such--hoN many no one can toll. as thoro ar, good reasons for believing that th' ,lcction in l@2o vas not entirely de cdcd upon this issu". as som' would claim.
 The facts are 'rr reverse. Th' lmin;slralion has mol y"t arrived q tho point where it would favor en try info inc court @s a b0cEloor [, entry into thc League. When W inter tac court wr will not h" il tl,a l.cigu,

NA'yl aN lNNsNI HHt III dll 'AAAbS' nv gets nearly as much of 1t as the president of the United States, but that is not altogether his fault, and 1t is not altogether because he is rich man, There are plenty Of rich men and many of them are such humdrum affairs that even tho most ingenious reporter would bo hard put to drape them with a flrst-page story,
 Mir Ford, in a rather dry man ner manages 10 do eolortul things at least occasionally, He may have capitalized the public mind when he launched his cheap car, but at first it was not always as cheap as it is now and there was some com petition al tho time, The Ford con. corn survived and grew which some of the competitors sank to oblivion. and scarcely anyone remembers the names Of the cars which tried to capitalize the public mind at tho same time Henry started.
 His second success, as noted by the Republican, was the launching of his old-time dance and music propaganda. If this has been a suc- cess -- and the claim may be pre- mature - 1t is not entirely due 10 Mir. Ford. It was the newspapers who yanked the scheme into the 1 spotlight: about a dozen venerable fddlers had been called to the Ford mansion before the papers hooked up with Nellie Durham from Maine and gave the story such a ride that Nellie landed fin vaudeville, The fivver magnato's adventures in the purchase of an- cient New England landmarks and furniture were given much pub licity without extreme attempts by the motor magnate to land the space; indeed, the stories some times were hard to obtain. They yielded d unique side in his nature and the repercussion in the public mind was favorable.
