The World and All
MUssOLINI CALLED HER rrp
By Charles z. Driseoll

The other day I had the pleasure Of speaking on the
same program with Anne OHare Mccormick, one Of the
most distinguished Of journalists. She is a very modest
woman, but the audience kept asking her about her ex-
tions that the audience missed, and so l learned
something of her adventures and impressions in two Of
the most important countries in the world.
What impressed ne most was the fact, which was
brought out indirectly in the questioning, that Mrs. Me
Cormick gets what she goes after. 1t is not mere luck
that she occupies a foremost place in her profession.
When Mrs. Mccormick went to interview Mussolini.
she was prepared to talk Italian, ard to talk about the
things that Mussohni had most at heart. But the
prime minister and big boss of italy was not in a talk
ing mood. The interview was flat, in spite Of all the
enterprising woman could do.
Mrs. Mccormick waited a few months, and went
back to Rome. She kept pulling wires until she got
to see Mussolini a second time. This time the dictator
was i'll and gruff. He would hardly talk at all. lie
was not to be drawn out. The second interview was
but little better than the first.
Months passed, but Mrs. Mccormick had not for
gotten that there was a job to be done in Italy. She
did not rest upon the accomplishment Of having seen
the big man twice and having made him talk a little.
She would specialize on Mussolini until she got the
interview she wanted, even if she had to spend a few
more years at it.
This time, when he knew Mrs. Mccormick was in
town, Mussohni called her up. she was out lie
called again and again. She saw him. He was cordial.
He had recovered his health, and he wanted to talk q
the American woman who persisted in demanding in
terviews.
The American journalist had studied for weeks the
laws that we're absorbing Mussolinis interest at the
time. She could talk intelligently upon the subjects
Mussolini was most interested in. The dictator talke 7.
explained the at length. getting out a chart and n
pointer for the purpose, and playing school teacher.
The interview lasted an hour and a half, and was an
unqualified success.
Now. there was no element of luck Of Mrs. McCor-
mick's accomplishment. She did a brilliant piece Of
work in her profession because she had prepared for
the Job, and because she never gave up until she had
done the thing right.
Usually. you'll find some such persistence and prep
aration behind the brilliant achievements, in all walks
of life. You may think that this or that person in the
public eye has had all the breaks" and has been the
freely chosen darling Of the gods. Examine into the
breaks" and you very probably will find that they arc
due to plugging and preparation.

Checking Rum Runners

Canada. by failing to take proper measures TO
check rum running. has not played fair with the United
States in its efforts to make a success Of prohibitlon'
"a. the assertion Of Rev. Henry Carter Of London.
British prohibition leader, in a recent address IN Que
bee. The British divine declared that Canada is show
ing a decidedly unfrisndly attitude toward the Ameri-
can prohibition law. and that the laxity Of Canadian
laws and officials constitutes a serious handicap.
At all border ports. the temperance leader asserted,
he had seen launches loaded with unconcealed liquor
waiting for darkness and an opportunity to run their
csreoes across. At other points he saw trucks. SINH
larly loaded, ready 70 dash across the border with
their contraband.
"The governments, the provincial governments,
should be told that the honor of Canada is deeply in
volved. and fair play to the United States is due Rev.
Carter said. "The United States is making a daring
moral experiment. If IL wins through IL will have
made a mark Of every other civilized nation will take
clear heed"
The efforts Of the London divine are commendable.
but the effect will be negligible. Canada cannot I'M
derstand the American prohibition problem. and unless
the public is interested in suppression Of the traffic
between Canada and the United States, it is obvious
that the provincial governments will not worry TO any
great extent over the situation.
The situation is very unfortunate. Bands Of boot
ierrers and liquor runners infest both the Canadian
and Mexican borders. Wherever American officers are
vigilant they have suppressed the traffic to some ex-
tent, but the long reaches of border country, sparsely
populated. would require thousands Of officers to pre-
vent smuggling OF liquor. Neither Canada nor Mexico
are interested in aiding the United States in solving
the problem. Both countries are deriving no inconsid-
cradle revenue from this source, and apparently. they
are more interested in cash returns than in a moral
experiment." as the British divine characterizes Ameri-
can prohibition.
When the United States presented the subject of
rum-running to Great Britain several years ago, the
British government conceded the right OF this country
70 search and seize British vessels carrying illicit car
goes within twelve miles Of the American coast. This
agreement was dictated by international good will
rather than as a moral protest on the part of the
British. Possibly, if the United States would approach
Mexico and Canada upon the same plane those coun-
tries might be willing to lend their aid in ~remedying
conditions upon their borders.

Farmers Using Cold Storage

american growers Of truck and fruit crops are utiI.
i1'hg cold storage to a greater extent than ever before
" 'he report on a recent survey conducted by the bu.
reau of agricultural economies of the U. S. department;
OF agriculture. The survey, completed octohsr !,
shows 6~67ys46,573 cubic feet Of cold storage spacs n
rne United States, an increase Of 4liTss34 cubic fee,
since 1925.
The total cubic feet Of refrigerated space Is made
up OF z4S,55s,s04 cubic feet in meat packing estab-
hshments; 2~4,so5,se7 cubic feet in private cold stor-
ages 2~73,sse,a21 cubic feet in public cold storsges;
o~7'2Io,ilo cubic feet in combined public and private
cold storages; and ~6e,3l4,371 cubic feet in packing es-
adjustments doing a cold storage business.
The survey shows that changes occur from year to
year in the number Of establishments and the amount
of space in the different temperature groups. New es-
Adjustments are usually of considerable size; those
that discontinue are often small, the latter consisting
of obsolete plants, which are usually replaced by mod
ern and more efficient plants.
The increase in warehouse capacity in recent years
has been chiefly in the Pacific coast section, accounted
for largely by the erection Of cold storage warehouses
in the Northwest for apple storage. There has also
been considerable conversion Of common storage to re-
frigeration in that section. Thee tital increase for
Alaska, California. Oregon and Washington is az con-
Germs. with a total acpaeity of 2~9.431.25s cubic feet.
Cold storage holdings Of vegetables, fruits, butter,
eggs, poultry, meats and practically all perishabie farm
products has increased rapidly the past three years,
II u Il EEoNtHE Nth VIVIAN
Of plants in all sections where such commodities are
produced in quantity.
The survey also shows that cold storage is becom-
ing one of the most important factors in connection
with agricultural economics, and that as a result OF
the increasing use Of the plants many economies are
effected for both the producer and consumers. a more
orderly distribution Of ~perishable products is made
possible. and this results in a more equitable price %
both grover and consumer. Many commodities which
have practically no market at the time production Is
heaviest, are now produced p~rofitably as a result OF the
cold storags system.
On the Pacific coast the apple industry owes Us
profits a. storage facilities which have been provided
assuring orderly marketing Of the crop. And the con-
Kumers are assured a reasonable retail price by TINS
ordely distribution. The same system Is being appheo
TO citrus fruits and other perishables with like results
Recent PROJECTIONS of refrigeration systems mas
greatly reduced the cost Of cold storage, especially IN
those sections where power is available at a moderate
cost. and the storage cost has been reduced TO 2 smah

more orderly distribution Of %perishable food products

vogue for over . hundred years, it is still . matter Of
record that the split has occurred many times.
In Wilson's twenty-five vote margin over Hughes In
1916. one was supplied by West Virginia. which cast
seven of the states eight for the republican nominee.
Since there is no legal obligation on the electors to
vote for the candidate of their party, 1t would not be
illogical to suppose that the splits can be accounted
for by the exercise Of electoral independence. But
ms a matter Of fact, the explanation is the entirely
illogical one that voters supposedly in full cognizsnce
OF the fact that they cast their ballots for men who
in turn are under the ethical obligation Of voting for
certain candidates have at times named one or more
electors from the opposite ticket. Absurd as IL might
seem that a Californian who wanted TO vote for Taft
or Roosevelt in 1912 would return a Wilson e~lector,
yet, 10 was done.
Not counting 1872, since 1927 Marylands vote has
been split four times. CALIFORNIA; three times, and the
vote Of eight other states once each.
In 1872 a peculiar condition was created by the
death of Horace Greeley between the election and the
meeting of the electoral college. Since his electors had
no party nomine for whom to ballot, they voted either
for Gratz Brown, the vice presidential nominee of the
ticket, or Grant. and three votes for Greeley himself
had 70 be disqualified. This situation could Of course
be duplicated by a similar unfortunate occurrence, Sut
under present conditions the death Of either nominee
would probably result in the entire party electoral
vote going to the vice presidential candidate.
In the meantime, the split remains a fact and al the
same time a mystery in so far as common sense is
supposed to apply to voting.

N has been n period or much

On such occasions FINS has been

John @. is a republican. Finis
Is n democrat. But they are two
stout old conservative war horses
who think a lot alike. just the

In fact. it has been a popular say
ing in Washington that there were
two republican leaders in the house
of representatives Congressman
Tilson of Connecticut and Congress
man Garrett Of Tennessee.
Is it any wonder that the G.. 0. P

Unluckily the democrats did not

The world il gradually lifting trade and commerce
to a higher plane. and now frankly discusses in inter-
national conferences many of its problems, but contin-
ues to deal with the most serious of al-density of
population in Europe-in a h~aphazard manner. Most
OF the economic troubles that exist today, even those
that might bring on war. would disappear III there was
a more equitable distribution Of population so that idle
people would become productive in countries where I'M
developed natural wealth is so abundant that many
times the present numbers of workers could be en-
ployed, to the benefit of the world as a whole. No
one can deny that the welfare of all nations would be
greatly enhanced if, for instance, twice the quantity Of
Canadian wheat, the best grown, could be produced. or
If the output Of Canadian minerals could be increased,
especially Of gold. for which fears are held Of a short
age in the worlds supply. The time has come, it is not
long overdue. to deal with the question of population
as one of international concern, and unless it can be
treated as such the standard of living in Europe, which
in recent years has not been as high as in North Amer
lea. will be lowered, with even greater distress than
exists at present.
Great Britain, for example. is said to have a million
more people employed than in pre-war days, yet it j.
now apparent that unemployment in that country. and
in several others, is stabilized at a high level. Sympa-
thetic and charitable relief schemes, and such systems
as unemployment insurance. entail a heavy and unpro-
ductive expenditure. The question arises whether the
large amounts expended BY the state for the mainte-
nance Of voorhees, people or for substituting struggling
industries would not be more wisely and humanely
spent in establishing the surplus population in one Of
the five great settlement belts that remain available,
Canada, Australia, Africa, South America and Siberia.
