TINE pow-wow OF the chiefs OF the
British imperial tribe, gathered
for their imperial conference in
i the capital of the old home
country, is this time charged
with large significance for the rest of
the trading communities of the world.
England, the old man of the tribe,
has a new noStrum which he thinks
should cure the economic ills from
which all the members of the family
are suffering (the epidemic is, indeed,
world wide). But it depends for its
efficacy upon the cooperation of all
and the early stages of the cure may
be painful. The nostrum is known, in
its most potent state, as empire free
trade. But 1t can be had in diluted
forms.
If the younger members decisively re-
ject the nostrum there seems nothing
to prevent America, with her gold power,
her energy, her youth, her enormous
plants, her branch production units
and sales organizations planted right in
the heart of the European continent
and the British Empire lands, from
continuing her progress toward undis-
puted predominance in the trade of the
whole earth.
But if the younger members decide
to line up as a family and crink deep
of the magic potion new orientation
must soon be given to world trade, and
detached students of human affairs Will
be able to note with interest, for the
information of future generations, the

Rail Experts Study
Methods In Germany

At least 755 rail experts from diff
ferent countries have visited Germany
during the first six months of this
year for the purpose Of studying Ger
man railway operating methods, ac-
cording to Deutsche Verkehrblatter.
Nine countries were represented, Eng
land alone sending 125. There were
81 from Hungary, n from Russia, II
from France and 81 from Switzerland.
Other countries who sent representa-
tiVeS were Japan and Persia. At pres
ent there are two Chinese and one ST.
amese who are being trained in operat-
ing methods by the German Railroad
Co. Electrical operation, switching
methods, the So-called "pSychotechni-
cal" stations for the purpose of testing
the ntness OF employees, were among
the different phases of railroad work
studied by the foreign experts, besides
studying the new types or models Of
German locomotives.

''MussOlini Is Right
And Press Must Obev

our fourth edition of yesterday has
been sequestrated by order of the pre-
feet" This little item, printed on page
one OF a leading Fascist daily in Rome,
apparently is designed to let the whole
reading public know that the publica-
ton IN question has been guilty Of a
misdemeanor, although the exact ma
ture of the article objected to by the
authorities naturally is not described.
This Is something new in the annals of
modern Italian journalism and has ap-
parently been imposed by the authori-
Ties as an added punishment to those
EDITORS who don't toe the mark. The
f1rst instance of this "self -abaSement"
before the discipline of the Fascist
press was noted in a recent edition Of
Impero d'Italia, one of the most fiery
ana outSpoken of the Fascist sheets.
Above the confession that the paper
had been consigned to the wastepaper
basket on the preceding day was the
regular slogan of the paper, "Musso-
lini Is always right" Before any news
paper in Italy may be put on sale, one
copy must be given to the project for
his approval. If some item Is objected
to, it must be changed before the paper
may go to press. If the paper has gone
to press before the Objectionable mat
ter is nailed, the whole paper is natu-
rally held up. To spare editors the
sometimes touchy task of commenting
upon government measures, the press
Office, directly supervised by Mussolini
and his press chief. Lando Ferretti,
generally sends out communicates which
every paper is obliged to print. "You

tor" Mussolini said to a gathering Of

Political Aspects Chief Concern.
The last time they foregathered-the
British leaders, the premiers of the self
governing dominionS, the representa-
tives of India and the home directorate
of the on-self-governing tropical col
onies and protectorates-the political
aspect of interimperial relations alb
Sorbed their minds and dominated dis
cuSSion.
They talked earnestly of the position
of governors general, the title of the
King, the procedure for signing treaties
President Cosgrave, from the Free State,
consented to drop Gaelic and talk Eng
lish, but joined the Canadian premier,
Mackenzie King, in insisting upon
separate diplomatic representation at
Washington. Gen. Hertzog, the South
African Nationalist deeply burned,
spare, eyes sharp behind metal-rimmed
spectacleS, legs bowed from the saddle,
put on knee breeches to dine with the
King at Buckingham Palace, but held
out for the right of a dominion to Sc
cede from the empire If it wishes, and
secured the admission of that right.
The high light of the whole confer
ence that time was the decision OF the
family that it had entered upon its third
phase, and that thenceforward 1t would
drop the term empire" since it had re-
cast itself as a new political entity to
be known as the British Commonwealth

HORSE WINNER
In RUM CHASE
u. S. Customs Officials Have
Lively Time Running
Down Man

Even In this modern day and
time, a horse Is sometimes better
than an automobile, customs officers
aver.
Although a smuggler was finally
apprehended Saturday night with
four and one half cases Of mescal,
1t took a horse TO turn the trick.
Customs officials <. Fergus Groves
A. A. Champion. z. r. McNair and
r. G. Campbell were ~patrolling
the Los FresnoS highway between
Brownsville and Los Fresnos, and
following their regular procedure,
stretched a banner across the road
in front Of a rapidly approaching
car. The banner read "Stop-U. S
Customs Officers"
The driver OF the car. instead OF
stopping, speeded up and avoided
the officers by taking to q Shallow
ditch and continuing at a high
speed. Shooting into the air a few
times failed to impress the driver,
and the officials jumped into their
car and entered pursuit.
The race was on. the smuggler
swerving from side to side OF the
highway to keep the officers from
catching up with him.
Finally, seeing that he would be
oyertaken. the man abandoned his
car and took to the open prairie,
lodging behind clumps Of brush.
Being fleet Of foot the smuggler
could not be caught by the law Of
ficers - until Fergus Groves saw a
horse and confiscated 1t.
The man was quickly caught with
the aid OF the horse and brought to
