Expert Cuessers Fail
To Hit Stock Market

From the ottawa Journal.
Financial experts, we are beginning
to suspect, are in the same class as
base ball and foot ball and election
prophets. When the war started, these
experts assured us that it couldn't last
over three months-the whole world
financial structure would crash. In the
language of the street, they were all
wet"
A few years ago the same experts
were assuring us that there we're TOO
many automobiles; that the saturat1on
point had been reached; that there was
going to be a crash. Each year since
then more automobiles have been made
and bought and sold than before. And
it is the same with the stock market.
For a year now the experts have been
telling us that stocks simply couldn't go
higher. If they did, said these money
sharps, everything would topple down
and there would be general disaster.
Yet what has happened? What mas
happened is that stocks, although SUI
fering on occasional setback, have kept
on soaring.
Where it is all going to end We do
not know. More than that. it looks
as though the financial experts don't
know, either. Some day something may
happen that will enable them to say
I'VE told you so''; but thus far they
have been consistently and hopelessly
and completely wrong. The whole
thing suggests that there are things
in modern economics and finance about
which financial experts can merely
guess, and that lot of the mysterious
'argon they use is merely cloak to
keep us from thinking they are guess

especially long time at places most
favorable to his own demise. Not hand

grievances of his partially transformed
subjects he has simply laughed, but
now things are little more serious and
no one can prophesy how it will all
come out
Amanullah understands perfectly the
singular advantages Afghanistan can
derive from its geographic position and
is applying himself to preparing his
country to reap them. He sees no
reason why the ancient route of migrat-
ing nations, soldiers, pilgrims and mer-
chants should not become once more
an important highway. the economic
artery connecting China with the
Mediterranean, Asia with Europe. He
is set, first of all, on building good
roads and plenty of them, and his
other reforms are explained and
Illuminated by this central jaea He
wants his a-conservative and stub
born people to "snap out of it." With
the example of Peter the Great before
him he may have gone just a little
too speedily, for the Russians of that

governs. The period of enforced seclu-
sion and safety may calm him down.

working toward its disintegration. Be-
fore any sound policy can be outlined
it is necessary to know the source and
nature of these forces. In this direc-
tion, it must he admitted, very little
progress has bcen made.
Several investigations are under way.
Perhaps the most notable is that be-
ing conducted by the Federal Council
of Churches. In addition, several
churches are studying the problem
within their own folds. An outstanding
example is the study being made by the
Episcopal Church, a preliminary report
on which was made at the general con-
vention in Washington two months ago.
But these studies, to date, have done
little more than reveal the extremely
complicated nature of the problem.
Plenty of persons have their own
theories as to the cause of divorce I'LL
crease. Some say it is due to decline
in personal religion. Some blame the
phenomenon on the growth of cities,
some on the political and economic
independence of women, some on an
alleged national nervousness following
the war, some on higher standards of
education, some on changing fashions
of dress, some on racial disintegration
in the American melting pot The list
Of reasons might be continued indef-
initely.
Sober investigation has not upheld
any of these explanations. Any one of
them, given the proper circumstances,
might be contributing factor.
The divorce figures constitute a warn
ing which cannot be disregarded They
are a challenge to the doctors of So
ciety to determine the cause. Some
thing is at work under the surface
powerful enough to overcome the
strong religious. social and civic taboos
and systems of discipline which have
been set up to guard the institution of
the family. 1t is at work in all classes
of society. 1t probably will continue
to work until it is discovered and a
remedy found.
There is nothing to be gained by
lamentation in the face of such a chal-
lenge. 1t calls for work and study.

Amanullah. Afghan King

Current dispatches from Delhi state
that the merry monarch, Amanullah I,
and his spouse. Queen Souriya, have
had to take refuge in fort because
the army has turned against them.
The disaffection has spread to Kabul,
the ancient capital, with a population
of some 100000 and seems largely, if
not entirely, due to the Kings drastic
westernization program, added to which
Is the Queens desire to abolish the
seclusion of women.
The Afghan legation at London de-
clares this is all nonsense; that the
Army is loyal; that the rebel attack
has failed and that the King and Queen
are residing in their palace as usual;
that Kabul is perfectly quiet. A British
plane flying over the capital is said to
have spied the traced words, I'VE are
we'll; do not attempt to land" Wire
less communications between Delhi and
Kabul have been at times completely
interrupted, while travellers arriving in
India announce the declaration of mar
tial law in the seat of Afghan govern
ment. The reader can pick out the
item which best suits him and believe
in 1t, but that something ominous is
going on seems to be beyond dispute.
There is a tinge of the fable of the
stork king in this drama far up in the
foothills of the Hindu Kush. Amanullah
raised himself to the kingly status not
two years since and in the meantime
what he has not done, or tried to do, is
nobody's business. He has toured Eu-
rope, bought himself Occidental clothing,
interviewed many rulers and the Pope
of Rome, unveiled his wife, established
a representative form of government
reorganized the laws, insisted on western
dress, issued edicts against graft
abolished polygamy and done many
other interesting, If possibly ill-advised
things. Now his more or less wild sub
jects, used for centuries to doing mostly

a little too rich for their blood
Religious, civic and military forces
have united in opposition to his drastic
program and just at present he is or

likely to happen.
No doubt exists as to this Kings
personal courage, however. When hi
officials declined to forego their tradi
tional perquisites, he punished then
severely, high and low alike. 1t wa

Disarmament Proposals.

Today's Geneva dispatches record
that League of Nations officials are
persuaded the United States will enter
no objections to the convoking Of the
preparatory disarmament commission
next April. The League is on safe
ground in indulging in such confidence.
Any and every thing conducive to re-
lieving an ar1ns-burdened world of the
cost of armament is assured of Amer
lean support. From the United States
standpoint-and, of course, from the
standpoint of other countries-all de-
pends upon what is necessary and un-
necessary armament.
It would be desirable if League of
Nations terminology, and peace advo-
Gates generally, were to discard dis
armament in favor of the more accu-
rate phrase, limitation of armament" !"
The United States is not in favor Of
disarmament. It heartily favors limita-
ton of armament. It took the initiative
in bringing about limitation of naval
armament seven years ago. It attempt
ed to secure extended limitation in 1927.
President Coolidge loses no opportunity
to assure the world of this Govern
ment's desire, even in the face of fail
ure at Geneva, to persist in the en-
deavor to arrest superfluousa naval ex-
pansion.
The world at large, including the
American people-and embracing in
particular at this moment the United
States Senate-should not ignore the
fact that in the same breath he espouses
further naval limitation the President
advocates adequate sea defense for
America. The Coolidge doctrine, so
vigorously laid down on Armistice day,
proclaimed preparation and limitation
as the twin planks in our national de-
fense platform. They do not collide or
cross purposes. They do not 'nuRify"
our readiness to renounce war as an
instrument of national policy. They
mean, in plain English, that the United
States is ready to limit her naval ar
mament at that point which guarantees
national security. Beyond that point
armament becomes unnecessary and
superfuous Below that point it be-
comes dangerous.
It is the Senate's duty to see that
the danger point in the United States
defensive establishment is not reached.
The Senate should approve the House
bill to build fifteen ten-thousand-ton
cruisers and another aircraft carrier.
Defeat of that program, which is an
irreducible minimum, would mean that
the United States is to be forced a step
nearer the point at which national Sc
curity is imperiled.

The Lutheran College.

The decision of the United Lutheran
Church of America to erect In nearby
Maryland a two-million- dollar national
college for women has once more
strengthened the belief that the Ma
tional Capital is destined to become
the educational and cultural center as
well as the governmental center of the
Nation.
The new college, according to its
sponsors, will be projected along the
lines of Holyoke, Wellesley and Bryn
Mawr. The site selected for its location
is an 189-acre tract in the Washington
Metropolitan Area near Wheaton and
Silver Spring. Md. With the exception
Of Trinity College in Brookland it will
be the only exclusive women's college in
Washington or it's environs.
The Lutheran Churches of the Dis
trict have agreed to purchase the site
and Embarrassing campaign for the
one hundred thousand dollars needed
is now underway. Nine of the Eastern
Synods of the Lutheran Church have
voted to cooperate in the founding OF
the institution and as soon as Washing
ton raises the one hundred thousand
dollars for the site they will launch
campaigns for the building and en-
dowment funds.
1t is hoped that the Washington cam
paign will not fail; leaders of the Lu-
theran Church are confident that ii
will not, if support is forthcoming from
the business men who have indorsed
the project.

A Guarantee of Character,

Fifty-Seven Washington agencies
some time next month will make q
common appeal to the public for finan-
cial support.
They are engaged in character build
ing, caring for the sick, shelterine
homeless. children, relieving family dis
tresS and numerous other lines of re-
lief work.
The fact that these fifty-seven agen-
cies have been admitted to the Com
munity Chest organization is a guar
antee that they have produced results
in the past and can produce them in
the future. 1t is a guarantee that there
is need for their work and that they
are doing 1t with reasonable degree OF
efficiency. They have no skeletons in
their closets. Before they were admitte6
to the Community Chest they were SUBJ
jected to searching scrutiny. This or
ganization stands in the position of a
trustee representing the public. It is
headed by trained sociologist with
professional knowledge, which enables
him to detect any subterfuges at
tempted in the name of charity.
The different organizations will con-
tinue to work in their own fields and
with the methods which have proved
effective in the past. The Community
Chest plan allows even more leeway fol-
individuality than was possible in the
past. BY removing financial worries
from the organizations themselves 1t
will enable them for the first time
freely to work out their programs.

Billionaires Split
On Thrift Problem
From the New York Times.

from tAe new YORK IlrneS.
One of Americas two billionaires,
Henry Ford, believes that the advice
to all boys to save their money regu-
larly is partly wrong. The other bill
lionaire, John D. Rockefeller, ST., be-
leves that the advice Is entirely right
Any advice is apt to be partly wrong
and partly right. But both Mr.. Ford
and Mr.. Rockefeller are billionaires.
and aspiring American youth may be
pardoned for wondering which one to
believe and follow
1t is an old discussion raised by what
Mr. Ford said to the newspaper men
at Washington. His thought is that
every boy, of whatever promise, should
be told that he will never get anywhere
without work but no sue
cessful boys ever saved money They
spent it as fast as they got it for things
to improve themselves"
While his statement is too wholesale
to be accurate-and Mr.. Rockefeller
confronts it with the facts of his own
youth and the practice of his age-lt
may we'll be true that the boy destined
to be great is rarely thrifty boy in the
savings bank sense. But 1t is equally
true that many boys who never will
amount to anything have the same in
thrift would help.
If there were some machine which
would accurately register whether boy
was the sort who ought to save. then
he could be notified that thrift maxims
were off so far as he was concerned.
The next hoy could be told that saving
his dimes was the only way to keep
himself free from crippling debt. But,
in the absence of such device, more
people will agree with the advice of the
oil Millionaire than with the counsel of
the motors Millionaire. For it is still
considered disciplinary for the young
to refrain from buying everything they
can
The subjects of wealth and thrift were
Turing to Francis Bacon, and he dis
coursed frequently upon them. He laid
down such rules as these: Certainly,
if a man will keep but of even hand,
his ordinary expenses ought to be but
to the half of his receipts; and IT he
think to wax rich, but to the third
part" The philosopher did not agree
even with the Ford reservation, Tor,
said he: "A man had need. if he be
plentiful in some kind of expense, to
be as saving again in some other" Yet
he had some inkling of what the De-
troit manufacturer was driving at when
he remarked that "it was truly observed
by one, that himself came hardly to a
little riches, and very easily to great
riches. The ways 10 enrich
are many, and most of them foul. Par
simony is one of the best yet
it withholdeth men from works of liber-
ality and charity"
The finest mind of the Elizabethan
age is seen from these extracts to agree
in part and in principle with both our
billionaires, leaning q bit to the Rocke-
feller side. With all this testimony to
choose from, the American youth must
do the best he can.

suggests the Hartford paper, ''if it is
logic to move the President out oi
Washington for the Summer, why not
have a permanent Summer capital in

The suggestion that it might not be
advisable to restrict the Presidents S
Summer to one place is made by the
Raleigh News and Observer, the Great

ever, sees no reason why the plan
would prevent long trips to distant

prediction: Nov we shall probably

the various States near Washington as
to whose hills are the best for the
