tracts" he said briefly. I'VE believe the
engineer and contractor is profess
sional man and as such is entitled to a
fee as in the case of a doctor or
lawyer. We work at cost and receive a
stated fee for our services"
In the case of the Athens-P iraeus
water works project, the Polish cities
improvements and other similar under
takings, Mr.. Bournell explained that
financing was made easy for the foreign
interests through the fiotation of bonds
which were accepted by the company as
work progressed. In many cases these
bonds were accepted when there was no
other market for them. The improve
nnents resulted in additional revenue for
the cities and areas concerned, enabling
the payment of bond interest and the
creation of a market for the securities.
I'm this way" Mr.. Bournell said,
"our own and other companies operat-
ing similarly are aiding in the recon-
struction and improvement of foreign
countries, in particular those suffering
from the after effects of the recent
war"

SAN FRANCISCO, July 27.-Anita
Whitney, noted radical, and nine other
persons we're arrested today after a
demonstration before the Chinese con-
sulate here. Police said some SO men,
bers of the Communist party were the
demonstrators.
Banners denouncing China for seek
ing with imperalistic help" to force
Soviet Russia into war" were seized.
Miss Whitney, who Is 81 years old, was
arrested previously and convicted on o
charge of being member of "a crimi-
nal syndicalism organization" She
waged a seven-year fight against the
constitutionality of the California
criminal Syndicalism law and lost. She
was saved from serving term of from
l to IA years in San Quintin prison
only because, in 1927, Gov. C. C. Young
interviewed and pardoned her. Because
of her prominence as a club woman,
lecturer and author, the case attracted
nationwide attention.
The 10 alleged demonstrators ar
rested today were charged with a
felony and misdemeanor, the purported
felony was violation of the California
penal code which forbids use of red
flag or other propaganda "of a sedi-
tious nature" The rnisdemeanor was
alleged violation of the statute against
disturbing the peace. Bail was fixed at
$1,000 on the felon charge and $40 on
the misdemeanor count. Miss Whitney
gave bond.

whole nation economically. They will
do it. They always succeed. In this
matter success Is doubly assured, be-
cause all classes and all parties will

fully studying conditions of prosperity
in this country. They have never
studied us so carefully as they are now
doing. Some things they don't like
about us because they don't yet under
stand them. Some things they wonder
about, especially how it will affect the
old tenor of their life
Europe Ready to Try Plan.
wei, of one thing every one is sure
decent amount of prosperity never
destroys any good thing. Europe does
not believe American prosperity Is the
result Of the war. even If statesmen
have so explained us. Europe is finding
out for herself what makes for the
peoples economic security, and is ready
to try 1t.
Il think 1t Is becoming clear to them
that If there had been no war this
country would have gone ahead much
better. We lost by the war; We were
retarded. I don't mean that we can
compare our war wounds with those Of
Europe, but We can certainly show that
the war far from being a benefit to us,
was a blow. Every European Of sense
knows that. They know the real secret
OF our prosperity.
1T is this: InduStrv-all kinds of in
dustry in which the flumblest workman
makes enough to meet his necessities,
and enough more substantially to i'm
prove himself and his conditions of life.
That puts much of the wage money
back into circulation, besides bringing
new and useful elements into the life
of the workman. He feels himself on an
entirely new basis. Opportunity is
given him that matches whatever per-
sonal ambitions he may foster. It Is up
TO him, then, to become better citi-
zen, more capable workman, himself a
leader in industry.
And there is crying need through
out the world for leaders in industry.
With money saved the workman can
certainly improve his condition If he is
anything more than dullard or a Gull.
The people of Europe understand
that this is sound basis for general
prosperity. I am certain that q new
economic era Is dawning for Europe

Unable to have the charges against
him in Chicago brought to an early
trial, as twice requested by his at
torneys, though the judge before
whom he is to appear has been
chosen, Oscar DePriest, colored Con-
gresham from Illinois,, has decided

of Congress next month, but to wait
until the regular session in De-
cember.
DePriest is reported to have
praised Washington for its kind
reception and readiness to aid him
to understand the customs and con-
ditions of office holding. He has
selected a committee to pass upon
applicants for cadets to West Point
and Annapolis, for which he pro-
poses to nominate Colored boys and
alternates who meet entrance re-
quirements.
According to advices from the
States attorneys office. the crowded
docket in Illinois prevents hearing
on the DePriest case until late in
