lated to the policy which may be adopted in relation
to the Mediterranean fruit fly, says the initial re-
port of the committee.
The report states that 81 per cent of the land
of Florida is involved Eighty per cent of the citrus
fruit shipments originate in this area.
Annual income from the citrus crop and from
other host crops which may be affected by the fly is
upward of 100000 ,000," the report states.
A spread of the pest to the south and west would
endanger areas from which the annual income from
fruit production is $240000000, the report con-
tinueS.
1t adds, 1.-THE consumers of the United States like
wise are affected An infestation of the Medter-
fruit fly may effect the reduction of suscep-
tibe products by 25 or so per cent 1t is esti
mated that reduction in the production OF sus-
cepble fruit by 20 per cent will increase the cost
of fruit to the consumer by approximately "a per
cent"

Pest Is Costly Peril
BY DAVID DIETZ

a WAR has been declared, which, while receiving
N far less notice than the Chinese Russian situa-
ton, is likely to be of greater Importance to the
people of the United States.
An unfortunate outcome of the may cost the
people of the United States than $500000000 a
year.
The United States department of agriculture is
waging the against insect the Mediterranean
fruit fly.
Meanwhile other nations rallying to the aid of
the United States. Mario j. Hoyo chief of the plant
protection service of Mexico has offered to aid In
every possible way.
THE Mediterranean fruit fly is an international
problem and our hopes that every nation of
North America will join in the fight against it, ,"
he says
The fruit fly is now causing damage chiefly in
Florida, though 1t has also spread to some Of the
other south Atlantic states.
The department of agriculture believes that it was
introduced into Florida from Bermuda last winter.
1t might have been blown in by hurricane brought
in by in the wrappings around bottles,
brought in by tourists in their luggage.
The chief fear of the department is that the fly
may spread to California and the southwest.
Peru, fearing the pest may reach South America,
has just placed embargo upon the importation of
all fruits from Mexico Central America, Bermuda
and the United States with the exception of the
states of Washington, Oregon, and California.

To be sure it is not entirely fair
to blame the various captains of in

into the ED of philosophy, art and
theology. Let anybody make a bet
ter mousetrap and some reporter
will beat a pathway to his door to
ask what he thinks of the Einstein

Mr.. Edison, for instance, always
is being Intercepted by some in
quiring reporter on the subject OF

in this case it must be admitted Nat
the opinion of the electrical wizard
is just as good as that Of anybody
else-but no better.
It seems to me that Henry Ford
is somewhat more culpable than
many of the other talking million

Moreover, the man who proved
himself so gullible in swallowing the
ridiculous forgeries concerning the

little penance of complete silence
before again assuming the role OF

Inspection

The committee outlines program to eradicate the
fly. 1t is divided into six items.
First-Immediate enlargement of inspection forces
is urged at once to determine promptly the spread
of the fly in Florida and other states.
Second-Adequate provision is urged so that fruits
which may be infected will enter interstate COM
merce only after certhcation that they are not in
tested
Third-The destruction of all plants which might
harbor the fly, other than the economically valuable
fruits is urged at This is for the purpose of
starving the flies which otherwise thrive on minor
plants during ripening Of the principal citrus fruits
Fourth-It is recommended that citrus growers
be compelled by law to spray their groves stated
intervals and also to treat the soil to kill the larva
as well as the adult fly.
Fifth-The committee recommends that harvest
ing be done more rapidly and the fruits held in cold
storage until absorbed by the market.
Sixth-The committee recommends rapid clean
I'D of orchards after the harvesting

Second Thoughts on Censors

We have Joined in the cry against federal customs
authorities for their silly censorship policies.
Now we want to praise those officials. 1t takes
courage for officials to hold off crusaders demanding
censorship That courage some of the officials lacked.
But it takes more courage after making mistake, to
admit error and right the wrong.
That is the kind of courage displayed by federal
authorities in two recent cases.
They barred from this country book by Hindu
title Uncle Sham" The book is attack on Amer
lean institutions and is as unfair perhaps as Miss
Mavo's Mother India" to which it reply. The
official BAN on the ground of obscenity, about
to stimulate American curiosity in the forbidden book,
when the officials wisely changed their mind and
removed the ban. Since then Uncle Sham" appar-
emily has been ignored completely by the public.
The case of We'll of Loneliness somewhat
different. It was a serious novel by an English
woman on disagreeabe subject A London court
suppressed it: Canada excluded it. Here chance
for American authorities to show for once that they
we're somewhat more clean minded and intelligent
than foreign censors But apparently under pressure,
they missed that chance
Later the customs court overruled the American
ban. And now, instead of being stiff-necked about
the case, Commissioner of Customs Eble announces
that he will not appeal from the courts decision.
Customs officials have nasty job at best, being
under oath to enforce the senseess censorship pro-
visions of the tariff law in which many of them do
not believe. That some of them are of the sort to
make the law worse by reading pornography into ser-
Gus literature is perhaps to be expected But fortu-
nately Commissioner Eble and certain other of the
hgher-ups seem inclined to do little censoring
possible under the law.
It remains for the senate to defeat the censorship
provisions of the new tariff BILL which are more
Objectionable than the present law,

The Triumph of The Hague
ParLey Looks Like One of

Than of Partisanship.
SAYS

A FTER weeks Of haggling, The
"A Hague conference comes to an
end, with everybody smiling
England gets a $9,600, 900 increase
in her annual share of reparations,
Germany loses 2,0oO, 900 which she

Germany agrees to pay for moving

Much has been said as to who de-
serves the honor for bringing The
Hague conference to such happy
conclusion, but from this distance it
looks as though most every one pres

Certainly, the fact that the repa-

Avoiding Responsibility

Admitting that regulation of public utilities has
been failure in the states, Governor Clyde M Reed
of Kansas tries to place the blame interference
by the federal government.
Reed says federal courts and the United States
supreme court have nterfered with state regulatory
powers and that for the last twenty years regulation
of public utilities and carriers has not been
successful in the true sense.
While decisions of the federal courts and the
supreme court in utilities have been confusing
and disappointing, some of the states have assumed
meanings in them that can not be supported by the
rulings themselves.
For instance. the states, to a large degree, have
assumed that valuations must be based upon the
reproduction new theory, which is far more costly
to the people than that of prudent investment.
Yet the supreme court never has determined that
the reproduction new valuation is the only one that
can be used.

that bravery.

decision lies.

have been done. Germany, America and her women

Ending the War

y After ten wears at last the war is over That is
t,A general comment on The Hague reparations set
Element. It is natural comment, is somewhat exag-
gerated. This settlement clears away much OF the
war Wreckage in permitting financial Sterilization, eco
rornic reconstruction and military evacuation of the
Rhineand, that it would be perhaps ungracious to
remember in this moment of thankfuness, the re-
naming evils of the vicors peace such the Saar,
the msdrawn frontiers the oppressed minortes, the
misgoverned mandates the increasing armies and
ornaments of the victor nations
Doubtless those remaining disastrous consequences
of the war will be corrected in part time goes on
At least that is the great hope sprnging from The
Hague settlement For its significance is that reason
is suppanting hatred and suspicion in seeking solution
of international problems
Curiously, The Hague settlement, representing the
combined judgment and effort of the politicians and
bankers and now apparently acceptable to public
opinion in the allied countries approximate the set
t,sent demanded by small minority of liberals ten
years ago.
Ten years ago that small band of liberals in various
countries reasoned that it was not only morally I'M
lust but economically impossible, to make Germany
pay practically all the costs, and that military
occupation of defeated Germany would postpone
rather than hasten the state of European security
and peace necessary to the self-nerest of the allies
In those days this liberal minority view was ridi-
cued as theory, as senmentality, as nice ideal with
no relation to the hard facts So the Versailles set
Element was written instead by the nationalist and
militarists who called themselves realsts and prac
teal men.
After decade the so-caed practical and realistic
Versailles settlement has failed to work There had
to be another settlement at The Hague because the
hard-headed politicians and bankers of later day
demanded it.
So the Missionaries of 1919 turn out to be the real
SITS of 1929

venge and dependence on military force don't pay

TT is a curious phase of human
l. nature" Henry Ford has writ
ten for Forbes magazine, that
when men make a great deal of
money in some line of work they
want to get into something they
don't know anything about.
"It may be another line of business,
it may be banking, it may be sport,
or, as more often happens, it may be
society"
But Mr.. Ford has not quite
covered the ground. He might very
pertinently have added; cor it may
be an itch to give out idiotic state
ments in newspapers and maya
zines"
Henry Ford is not by any means
the sole offender, but he seems to
me one of the most conspicuous.
The fact that he has made millions
of dollars by manufacturing an ex-
cellent low-priced auto gives no i'm
portance whatever to his opinions
on jazz music, the effects of alcohol
on the human system or the neces-
sary hours of sleep for brain work.
erS.
Yet Mr.. Ford has not hesitated to
take the world into his confidence
on all these subjects.
It would be an excellent idea for
him to re-read-or perhaps to read
the current article which appears
under his name in Forbes, for there
the motor maker is quoted as say
ing, my particular job, this time
on earth, is to give the world the
very best car I can make at the
lowest possible price. If I knew
any better thing I could do, would
do it."

Editor Times-May the spirit of
justice and kindness be awakened
in all the interest which Congress-
man Louis Ludlow has mentioned
for the next appropriation bill to in
clude an Indiana Veterans hospital
for our afflicted worthy soldier boys.
While monuments bespeak Of no.
BILE service rendered and are beauti-
lul to look upon, a hospital truly
represents to those in whose mem
DRY it is erected a remembrance of
much sacrifice and suffering.
What would this country be or do
without hospitals to alleviate suf-
fering contracted whilst doing so
nobly their bit? The thing which in
spires the feeling of appreciation
and true gratitude is the true
service toward us for what we are
most in need Of. Will the presence
of the Riley hospital ever reflect
anything but the greatest honor to
our state, alternating suffering and
giving to many afflicted what seems
to make life worth while?
Now is the time TO let our afflicted
honored boys know that we are alive
in our interest for their true life
advantages and comfort which bring
to them assured happiness.
May the spirit of which they
gave SO grandly be the means of
awakening in us unfaltering inter-
est for soldiers hospital. Not alone
for their comfort, but to reflect a
place for them to look upon, where
their health was regained could
mean to them a living splendid
monument.

Jews Do Great Work

TN area, Palestine is about the size
l. of Vermont, but it's population is
much larger, being between 100000
and 100000, of which approximately
$4,000 are Christians, and 10000
are Jews.
Of the 10000 Jews, some 1000
are Americans, the rest being about
equally divided between natives and
recent immigrants from Europe.
Though constituting less than one
fourth of the population, the Jews
are to be credited with the bulk Of
what has been done since the war
to improve social and economical
conditions. 1t is only fair, however,
to recall that England has spent
vast sums of money to maintain
peace and order.
