Italian Courts Rule
On Art Dealers Rights

An art connoisseur who Is smart
enough to spot an old master under a
coating of dust or a second layer of
paint and to buy the picture for a
song" is yindicated by his own su-
perior knowledge and may not be ac-
cused of double dealing either by the
person from whom he bought the pic
ture or by any one to whom he may
sell 1t at tremendous profit, it has
been decided by the Italian courts,
case in point is that of Prof.
Lionello Ventura, an expert who in 1918
bought what purported to be painting
by Ferdinando Boil from the Marchese
Marino Piscicelli. The professor, 1t was
brought out in court, lost no time in
cleaning the canvas and discovering,
hidden beneath the Boil picture, a
Rembrandt of which a copy hangs in
the Museum Of Gotha. Later he sold
cardo Gualino, a rich business man.
The case came into court when q
brother of the original owner claimed
ownership of the painting following It's
display in the Borghese galleries. He
accused Ventura of duping Marchese
Marino Piscicelli into selling him the
picture without disclosing its true value
and of making an enormous number OF
lire when he passed it on to the present
owner. The court listened interestedly
and when all of the evidence had been
introduced refused TO do anything to
repair the injuries to the plaintiff S
feelings and pocketbook.

Rice BOrer Problem
Is Solved in Hawaii

Hawaii is writing the climactic chap
ters to another romance of science" :"
in which the intelligence of man has
been pitted against the invasion OF an
insect enemy. In 1927 strange all
ment was reported in the rice fleldS OF
Oahu, few miles from Honolulu. APP
parently healthy rice began to wither.
die and dry up. The Chinese planters
couldn't understand why.
But territorial entomologists, making
investigation, found the dreaded rice
borer at work. Then began relentless
two-year battle by the Territory's best
scientists. Two of them, David T. Full
away of the Territorial Board OF Agri-
culture and Foresty and r. G. Hadden
OF the Hawaiian Sugar Planters AsSo-
citation, went respectively, to Japan and
China, seeking natural enemy for the
borer. Parasites were found, propa-
gated, transferred to Hawaii, and turned
loose in the rice fields. Meanwhile by
cutting and burning, by plant quaran-
tine methods, the insect had been
fought and kept from spreading to all
the islands.
Two out Of the eight species of para
sites seem to have been most effective
| in combating the borer. These are
trichogramma, an egg parasite, and
amyosoma, a larval parasite, and raised
and distributed in wholesale quantities
from the laboratories in Hawaii, they
are giving the rice-borer successful bat
tie. Reports on the 1929 rice crop are
that 1t is better than for two years past,
and may even equal that previous TO the
| appearance Of the boror.

society. natural providence I venture
to believe that no Senator or Repre-
sentative reading that inscription on
his way from his constituents to the
performance of the duties to which he
has been assigned would disapprove of
the profound truth which it expresses.
This is the nature of the problem with
which we are dealing, about which we
are legislating. 1t is in some
respects as grave a problem as a Con-
gress could ever be called upon to con-
sider."
That quotation from Borah is suf-
ficient proof that he visualizes his fight
as battle for the farmer. Elsewhere
he was more specific in saying. or i'm
plying, that the protective tariff, as op-
Grated in the past. has been destructive
to the farmer At one point he spoke
of "the Unsuitable appetite of the man
ufacturers," and again:
Some of us, a great many Of us, be-
lieve that the agricultural interests. un-
der the protective system, have reached
time when they must take a stand.
We cannot longer postpone doing
so. I do not for a moment
contend that we can restore the farmer
to complete equality. The time when
We might have done that is past"
Facing Desperate Combat.
To show that the leaders of the coali-
ton regard their fight as a desperate
last stand in behalf of the farmer Is
all that this article attempts A multi
tude of problems arise, none of which
is treated in this article, each of which
would justify an article of itself.
Whether the position OF Borah and
the coalition is sound economically.
whether the means he proposes will
achieve the end he hopes for, whether
all the members Of the coalition have
the same kind of earnest zeal as Borah
or whether some OF them have the ordi-
nary political motive Of wishing to take
fall out of the Republicans, whether
the coalition will last. what will be the
outcome as respects this present tariff

the fight are not here discussed. All

against a fate which, as they visualize
it. will, unless they save him, subordi-
nate him to other industries. They
think of themselves as fighting on the
side of the country in a struggle against
the cities.
BOrah CIassed as Leader.
The outstanding leader of the coali-
ton is Senator Borah of Idaho. The
struggle in its present phase may be
said to have begun with a speech made
by Senator Borah on September 16,
soon after the Senate took up the tariff
bill. The speech was an impressive
one. James M. Beck OF Pennsylvania,
who Is himself an orator, and who has
extraordinary knowledge of the litera-
ture of oratory, says that this and one
other of Borah's speeches in this session
were comparable to the best of Daniel
WebSter's.
Borah knew he was making a great
effort. His speech was a distillation of
work he had been doing all Summer,
when he was studying the tariff, the
history of previous tariffs, the litera-
ture of tariffs, the probable effects of
the present tariff as originally planned
by the regular Republicans.
That Borah regards this as a fight
Of the farmer against other industries
is clear from passages in his speech,
one of which had feeling and an elo-
quence justifying the comparison to
Webster.
"Mr. President" Borah said, 'in the
restoration of agriculture to its right

Nation, every phase of national strength

any partisan consideration. To his sim
pie, soldierly mind the problem was to
save Germany, not to wreck the repub-
lie. Thus, in an odd fashion, his rela-
ton with StreSemann came to have
something of his old association with
Ludendorff in the war days. His char
acter and prestige covered the labors of
the foreign secretary as they had for
so long protected the quartermaster
general.
Folly Killed Stresemann.
Now, with Stresemann just dead
and dead as the result of the terrific
strain put upon his failing physical re-
sources by Nationalist folly and worse
Hindenburg saw the extreme National
lists seeking to nullify the tremendous
results which the late foreign secretary
had achieved, literally at the cost of
his life-and that was for the sturdy
old man too much to bear silently. To
such a crime he was not prepared 10
be an accessory
This indignant repudiation of an ig-
noble role, coming at the moment when
all Germany was suddenly and I'M
expectedly moved by Stresemann's
death, has served to bring swift and
heavy disaster to the Nationalists. AS
l write it is even uncertain whether

will obtain the necessary 1000 900 sig
natures. Moreover, there is placed upon
them the awkward necessity of assaiiing
the man they made President, the SOL
dier as beloved in Germany as was Gen
Lee in the South after the Civil War:
the man, too. who was the symbol of
loyalty, the man who stood by his EN-.
peror to the last and by his country
thereafter
Thus. If Stresemann's death inevi-
tably awakened anxiety as to the future
alike of the republic and of the Young
plan, Nationalist folly has at once done
much to restore the balance. Years ago
when, obedient to the same Nationalist
mentality, the German embassy AT
Washington failed to lower its flag on
the death of Woodrow Wilson. the late
Marshal Foch said to me: st see the
Germans have made another blunder.
Oh. those German blunders! owe
everything to them. Where would /
be now If it were not for them?" Ap-
plying the same phrase to the National
lists, German republicans can draw a
similar conclusion.

with its release of the Ruhr, its accept
ance of German mortgages and bonds

Bible"
Not since the war had the cards been
laid so openly upon the table as when
Stresemann insisted upon the economic
bases of permanent accord. Economics
had been seen to rule the world and to
lead the armies.
Time for Working Pact.
1t was time for economic principles
to dictate some form of working agree
ment toward a real peace. Germany
under Stresemann'S inspiration. mod
eled herself upon England and America,
those nations Of shopkeepers" which
best exemplified the idea, of big busi-
ness" Stresemann was accused by GER
the agent of a Central Bureau OF
World Capital in Wall Street. He
spoke of facts, of economics and OF
world necessities only. Yet he succeeded
with so untraditional program in get
ting what he set out after.
StreSemann came into Office at the
moment when Cuno's policy of passive
resistance In the Ruhr had collapsed
before the superior resources and te-
nacity of France The franc was slowly
falling under the disapproval in which
English and American economists held
the Ruhr offensive, while the mark was
touching absolute zero. 1t was i'm
possible, with such deprecated cur
rency. to continue paying the unem-
ployment relief, which really amounted
to a passive resistance subsidy in the
invaded regions. Stresemann, admitting
economic fact, surrendered. Then he
changed over from being imperial
chancellor to take up his post in the
foreign office, the post at which ne
died.
A Spectacular Revival.
There have been few revivals more
spectacular in modern history than
that of Germany since Stresemann be-
Cdme lOIelSn HIlISteT, oCHaCuI' III tne

the rentenmark. and 1t was Strese-
mann's foreign policy which encourag-

express their confidence in the new
medium of exchange. Although Strese-
mann had been as belligerent as any
during the war, he now saw that re-
sistance and opposition were useless. He
began a new policy Of economic CO.

These other problems not here dis
cusSed are, of course, close to the heart
of the situation. Will it, of certainty

manufactures? Would the farmer be
wiser to accept the high rates for him.
self which everybody comedies, and let
the manufacturer have high rates also?
Was the present low condition of the
American farmer brought about by the
tariff wholly or mainly? To what ex-
tent did other influences contribute?
Are these coalition leaders sound econ
omists? Their sentimental zeal for the
farmer no one can question, but do they
possess the particular talent which can
estimate the economic consequences OF
what they do? When Senator La Fol-
lette of Wisconsin, for example, pours
out masses of statistics about the
American chemical industry, can we be
certain that he really grasps all the
bearings of that industry as fully as an
experienced business man might? Is
Senator La Toilette or any other Of the
coalition leaders as capable of knowing
what will work good for the farmer as
for example, Alexander Legge, former
head of the International Harvester Co
and now head of the Governments
Farm Board? Il do not mean to imply
necessarily or at all that Mr.. Legge
would differ from Senator La Toilette;
use his name merely as an example.)
Durability Of Pact Questioned.
Also. can this coalition hold together?
Can the Democratic party, as national
organization, whose following is large
in Eastern cities, afford to follow per-
manently a leader who in the Senate
represents the rural State of Idaho2 /:
the debentllre ulan which the coalition
voted in the tariff bill, consistent with
the Democratic doctrine of low tarif1
and no Government subsidies?
Whatever may be the varying an
swers to those and other questions,
there can be no doubt whatever about
the sentimental and political grounds
on which the fight is staged. The
leaders see it as a fight of the farmer
against the manufacturer, the country
against the city. In that conception,

tened more perhaps to party theory
than to conscience. In the days of the
treaty no German statesman could have

Ruhr, Cuno's policy was proved fall

when the reactionaries were saying,

Europe and even fashioning a policy of
rehabilitation for his ostracized country,
betrays real personality.
