BY HENRY w. BUM.

The following is brief summary OF
the most important news OF the world
for the seven days ended october D:
The British Commonwealth OF Ma
lions: On Friday morning, october 4,
j. Ramsay Macdonald. prime minister
of Great Britain, landed at New York
City. After receiving the freedom of
the metropolis, he proceeded by train
to Washington for those conversations
with President Hoover which con-
ceivably will prove epochal. 1t Is under
stood that the more important part OF
the conversations will take place at Mr..
Hoover's camp on the Rapidan in Vir-
ginia Our gallant country will be for
given for finding an interest In Miss
Ishbel Macdonald, who accompanies her
father, scarcely inferior to that reused
by the redoubtable Scotchman himself.
The population of England and
Wales at the end of 1928 was about
SO. 500, 900, the females outnumbering
the males by about 100000. The popu-
lation tends to become stationary, both
the birth and the death rate decreasing.
The world awaits with eager curiosity
the trial flights. soon to take place. OF
the great British airship. R-10l. Her
gas bags have a capacity Of 100000
cubic feet, as against 100000 for the
Graf Zeppelin. She has accommodations
for a crew of so and 100 passengers.
Sir Francis Humphreys has been APP
pointed British high commissioner for
Iraq in succession to Sir Gilbert Clay
ton, lately deceased. Sir Francis re-
Gently won great kudoS as British
minister to Afghanistan in the trou-
bleous days connected with the change
of dynasty in that country. He super
intended the transportation from Kabul
to India by British airplanes of all
foreign residents in Kabul who wished
to go, himself leaving with the last
load.

Germany StreSemann, for
eign minister of Germany since No
vember, 1928, is dead of apoplexy at So.
He was incomparably the greatest
statesman of republican Germany, and
perhaps 1t is not too much to say that
his services to Europe since the early
part of 1924, by way of persuading his
country to adopt policy Of rapproche-
ment with its former. enemies, surpassed
in Importance those rendered by any
other statesman since the war. This
| is the more remarkable, since during
the war he was VIGOROUSLY a champion
| of ruthlessneSs, and thereafter, until
/ he assumed the foreign portfolio, he
appeared as monarchist, reactionary,
an enemy of Cancellation.
Apparently it was during his brief

chancellorship, from August to Novem-
Der, 1928, at the height of the Ruhr
occupation, that he saw q light. He
OWNED that the salvation OF Germany
lay in a policy of Cancellation, and ap-
parently what was at first pure motive
of policy, became an ideal One may
scarcely doubt that from Locarno on
he imprisoned himself as genuinely as
BRAND for Franco-German amity and
for general pacif1cation. He created the
German Peoples party out of the wreck
of the old National Liberal party, plant
ed it in the middle way. dominated It,

clined) the set OF his own new republic
can convictions. He piloted German in
tereStS at the London conference which
framed the Dawes plan, and (perhaps
his greatest victory persuaded the re-
luctant Nationalist to accept that plan;
he procured German admittance to the
League on terms suitable to German
dignity, and in the League council and
from his Office on the WilhelmStrasse
he gradually restored the essential Ger
man prestige we'll nigh to the pre-war
altitude; gradually and with recent culs
mination at The Hague he procured
the removal of the postwar disabilities
and haraSSmentS.
We are told that on the day Of his
death he had been engaged in a bitter,
but successful struggle to obtain agree
ment of the party leaders Of the pres
ent German coalition to postpone a
showdown on domestic questions until
the Young plan should be consum-
mated and instituted. It is devoutly
to be wished that, now that he is gone,
the agreement will hold. Stresemann
was the embodiment of common sense,
but (if Milton will allow us) common
sense with trembling ears" Moreover,
he had a pretty humor, rarest and most
desirable of gifts in a statesman. And
he was a man of considerable literary
culture. Probably he has no more sin

Closed Cars Increase
On English Highways

Almost as remarkable as the tremen-
dous increase in the number Of cars
upon the English roads has been the
complete victory of the closed car over
the open type. According to the
ministry of transport among the
new cars licensed during March, April
and May there was noted a four-t
one unfavorable ratio for the open car.
Since at that time of the year the ap-
proach of the fine weather might stirnu-
late the buying of open cars, these
figures are significant. In the Winter
months the touring cars are bound to
be even more in the minority. Yet
less than or 10 years ago most able
bodied persons were inclined to think
of shut car as only suitable for the
elderly or for evening work in towns,
and nearly all young men and women
had open cars.
The reason is probably not entirely
due to greater love of comfort; the
secondhand value of open cars has
gradually fallen. Many people who
really prefer an open car buy a sedan
nowadays because they know that while
it may cost little more originally they
will lose far less in proportion II they
want to sell it agan.

Yelping Beggar Tries
Trick Too Many Times

He just lay in the corridor of an
Office building in Shanghai and yelled
his lungs out. This was his profession,
his means of livelihood. Industriously
plying his trade, this particular man
made as much as SIS a day, most Of
his clients being foreigners.
Finally business men took to COM
pairing notes, and it was discovered that
the same beggar had been doing the
same tricks in a number of ONCE
buildings. His usual method was to lie
on the floor and Shrek.
When questioned he declared he had
no money, no relatives to support cAEi,
and since he had not eaten for a few
days he had only one desire-he wanted
to die Rather than let him do that
the dollars poured in. The man left
the premises, and tried the next build
ing with a like effect.
But there is limit, and this came
in the fourth building. Here he was
kicked out and given the chance either
to try some other form of begging or
else to change his venire to some other
and more credulous end Of town.

HSneT OF many FdTW FeTIou1cuS.
Muscle Shoals is the only remaining major
feature of the farmers legislative program
initiated eight years ago. The solution of the
Muscle Shoals problem Is duty Congress
cannot escape.
Time and again during the last decade Con-
greSs had grappled with the problem, and on
several occasions 1t seemed that solution was
near, yet this huge $l00,000000 Government
investment on the Tennessee River, in Northern
Alabama, still stands virtually idle. Worse than
idle, since at least 100000 potential horsepower
of electricity is flowing to waste each year.
Muscle Shoals has become a challenge to the
Government even a taunt and reproach. To
let this matter rest much longer in its present
status is inconCeivable, particularly now that
we have an engineer In the White House.
Nitrate Plant Idle.
During the last year while all this valuable
power at Muscle Shoals running to waste
and while the huge nitrogen f1xation plant ca
pable of fixing $4,000 tons of nitrogen year
was lying idle we imported from Chile 1,0lS,l83
long tons Of nitrate of soda. We paid out for
this at wholesale prices $36,26l 1894. BY the
time the farmer got 1t in the form Of the fer
tilizers which he actually used on his crops
1t cost him probably twice that rate a ton.
Even the export duty on this nitrate OF soda
"a plain bounty Of the Chilean government
amounted to $l2,757,833 last year, which brings

Italian Museum Fees
Abolished by Decree

For centuries italy has been profit
ing from its tourist trade and has come
to rely upon 1t for q considerable
portion of its national income. For
that reason any little decrease in the
number of tourists visiting the country
due to inclement weather or high prices
is viewed with alarm by the authorities.
In their latest effort to maintain the
influx of visitors on level with that
in the past the government now has
ordered all museums and galleries
under its supervision to abolish en-
trance fees.
This innovation will prove very costly
to many institutions, but whatever they
lose, 1t is thought, will be returned ten
fold to shopkeepers and hotel owners.
1t Is to be expected that the govern
ment will be forced to increase the SUBJ
sides which it provides for these in.
stitutions as the result Of its sudden
decision.

into high-grade fertilizers, much of the output
being shipped to distant points in Japan. the
Philippine Islands and Java, where 1t meets the
competition offered by German synthetic nitro
gen and Chilean nitrate Of soda.
The mere fact however, that experts disagree
as to the best plan for utilization Of the re-
sources available at Muscle Shoals does not abb
solve Congress from the duty of acting definitely
and quickly. Neither does the fact that Presi-
dent Coolidge failed to sign the Norris bill for
use of the Muscle Shoals resources release Con-
grsss from dealing with the subject again.
Because there are strongly conflicting views
as to whether private or government develop
ment and operation will be best there has been
proonged-and. in my opinion, inexcusable-
delay in putting at the service of agriculture
and industry the great natural resources of
Muscle Shoals.
Cite Commission Report.
Those who advocate private development and
operation contend that fertilizers suitable for
by the average farmer can be produced at
and distributed from Muscle Shoals at prices
much below the present levels-and without any
government subsidy. They point to the report
of President Coolidge's Muscle Shoals Inquiry
Commission, submitted in November, 1925, as
indicating that concentrated fertilizers could be
manufactured at the Muscle Shoals plant and
shipped to the central point in each of the
twenty-three large fertilizer using states at an
average saving Of 43.4 per cent compared with
prices paid by farmers at that time. Fertilizer
