/ administrative employees will enjoy all
the rights of our liberal and democratic
system. We can give the population of
South Tyrol the assurance that they
will never be subjected to a police re-
gin1e or be exposed to prosecutions and
caprice, as were Austria's subjects in
Istria and in the Trentino for so many
years"
King Victor Emmanuel also made q
binding declaration to Parliament on
December /, 1920, the Germans recall
"Tlle newly annexed districts confront
us with certain problems" he declared.
"Our liberal tradition will show us the
way to solve them with the fullest con-
sideration for local autonomous institu-
tons and usages."
Breaking Pledges Admitted.
All of these declarations have been
ignored since the advent of Fascism,
the Germans charge, and their charges,
1t must be added, are admitted freely
by Fascists. The Fascist attitude Is q
typically nationalistic and practical one,
which cannot comprehend that any
part of Italys population should owe
allegiance, either politically or cuitu-
rally, to another country.
Bolzano itself, lying in a shelter Of
the Dolomites, is as German as even

Most of its inhabitants still bear Ger

have been forced to adopt Italian
names by the government. Passing

upon the municipal square the follow

In the Piazza Victor Emmanuel III,

great volume Of unnecessary regula-
tions which confuse justice. Our judges
are intelligent men and generally of a
high type. but the fact that they get
their position through election influ-
ences them somewhat. In England a
Judge receives big salary and is APP
pointed for life. It seems to be the
better plan, for it is working out better
than our elective method.
The fundamental difference between
our courts and the courts of England
is this: When one commits crime in
England 1t is considered crime against
the government. The entire govern
ment is against the criminal, whether
the man against whom the crime Is
committed be rich or poor, and whether
the criminal himself be rich or poor
makes no difference. The criminal has
to fight the entire power of the govern
ment, and he usually loses out, as ne
should.
Trials Made Show Here.
Now here in the United States we
stage a battle. We furnish the ring,
the judge, the timekeeper. the lights
and the ringside seats. We allow
moving pictures to be taken, reporters
to be present, statements to be made
by the contestants. We sit on either
side and allow the criminal and the
one against whom the crime is COM
mitted Tor his relatives) to fight 1t out
together. In other words, we stage a
show. We even take sides and the
game Is discussed at clubs and at
bridge parties
The difference is fundamental. In
England the entire nation Is interested,
but Is against the criminal. In this
country the Nation sits and watches the

Shortage of Schools in Philippines
Creates Crisis as Students ScOrn Trades

shortly after the Prosser report was
completed, but instead of taking up
these recommendations they shelved
the entire report on the ground that
ut was too long for the superintend-
ents TO read within short time
Astute American observers in the
Philippines agree that the eventual
hope for the development of the coun-
try lies in the value which is placed
upon education. The enthusiasm for
schooling has made possible the uni
language throughout the islands and
has given the Filipinos in English what
they lacked previously-a common
tongue. But before the fruits of en-
lightenment can be reaped, 1t is de-
clared, there must be an adjustment
of the economic state to the educa-
tional program, whereby even the edu-
Gated contribute to the neld of pro-
duction. At the present time this con-
dition does not obtain.
Bureaus OverstaHfed.
All the FilipinoS who get through
high school want white collar" jobs,
and there are not enough of them TO
go around in spite of the overStaffing
of every government bureau in the
islands.
The printing trade in Manila, which
is very well paid, is obliged TO recruit
its members from soldiers who have
been trained in the Army print shops,
since no civilian high school or college
graduate will take it up. An American
newspaper in Manila is using an ex-
school teacher an American girl and
an old journeyman printer as proof
readers because 1t cannot obtain a
single Filipino student for the position

great wealth, attracts some, and as
soon as they arrive here they become
unsettled as the rest and are swept
into the moving stream of our popu-
lation.
1 do not mean that European people
do not travel They travel long dis
tances, but they always seem to return
TO their homes, and, furthermore, their
goings and comings are known to the
police-in fact, to all their neighbors.
This is not so in America. The goings
and comings of people here are not
even noticed and it is difficult to locate
them when wanted.
We also have a great foreign-born
population, but it Is not the foreign
born who are our most frequent crimi-
mails. While superintendent of the New
York State police 1 was surprised to
find the lowest form of crime in our
rural districts was committed generally
by the Smiths, the Browns. the Joneses,
very few foreign names falling into the
criminal category.
I followed this very carefully and I
am convinced that it is not our foreign
born population that is the main cause
of our crimes, although this is the pop
ular belief.
Let me repeat, then, that the first
reason is the instability of our resi-
dents, which makes it easy for criminals
TO lose themselves in this floating mass
of humanity.
Politics Influence judiciary.
The second reason is the slowness of
the judiciary The majority of our
legislators are lawyers and they make
the laws. Thousands of laws result,
which lawyers are prone to advocate.

now is widely followed all the way
from the lowest local committees of
parties to the topmost national ones,
from a certain point of view is wholly
unreasonable. If we were considering
political merit and skill entirely in and
for themselves, we surely would not say
that at the national conventions Of
our parties each State delegation must
elect one man and one woman to the
party's national committee, irrespective
of the fact that the party's two most
expert party politicians in the State
might be both male-or, for that mat
ter both female. Nevertheless, the
general equal division of party COM
mittees today between male and female,
and the arbitrary transformation of
them thus into so many political Noah's
arks for the saving and diffusing of
American political life, is practically
soundly conceived and is beyond all
doubt the most important feature of
American woman suffrage in actual

sidered, was INSCRIPTIONS flattery of the

Gus that letting women play on the
piano has not yet produced a woman
Beethoven, and that letting them go
into business has not yet produced a
woman Ford and that letting them
read and write has not yet produced
a woman Shakespeare. Those facts
would not justify the lunacy of con-
Guiding that women who are proficient
in music and women who can support
themselves and women who can read a
letter and write one back have worked
no change in the amenities and in the
SATELLITES of life. Similarly, the fact
that letting women vote has not yet
produced a Disraeli or a Roosevelt pro-
vides no ground whatsoever for the idea
that the consequences of woman suf-
frage are either nil or negligible.

For the search for most of the In
fluence of women must still continue,
In politics as even in home building, to
go beneath the surface. The over
whelming bulk of the designing and of
the constructing of homes is done by
men. The literate, accomplished, ex-

New Belgian Canal
Indicates Progress

King Albert of Belgium recently dug
out the first spadeful of earth for the
new canal which will unite Liege ana
Antwerp A canal is already there, but
it is too small for industrious Belgium
Of today. One hundred years ago the
450-ton barges, for which the canal was
constructed. were considered huge. To-
day they are not large enough to carry
Belgium's raw materials and products.
The new canal will be named the
King Albert Water Highway. 1t viii be
% miles long, including the distance
covered in nine locks, and will be deep
and broad enough to bear 1.350-ton
oarges. The distance between Liege and
Antwerp will be shortened by about 10
miles. 1t will connect the industrial and
mining area of Iiege with the seaport
of Antwerp. following a slightly differ
ent route than the present waterway.
The King Albert Canal will be entirely
within Belgium territory. and will con-
meet the Mouse and Moselle Rivers with
the sea, through Belgian waterways.

MANTLA-With the opening Of the
autumn" school term in the Philip
pines insular education faces a new
crisis. There is an oversupply of teach
ers, an oversupply of students and an
acute shortage of school facilities. Ten
thousand students, chiefly in primary
grades, have been turned away from
the schools this year, while 1000 teach
ers are asking yainly for appointments.
The precipitation of the crisis in
Midsummer is due to the seasonal vari-
alton In the Philippines. The Sum
ner" holidays take place from March
to June, during the hot season, while
the Fall term" opens with the be-
ginning Of the rainy season in Mid
summer.
Various types Of expenditure, many
OF them purely political in character,
have limited the amount of money
which can be spent upon the expansion
of educational facilities, while the nor
NAL schools have been turning out
prospective teachers at an excessive
rate. The mayor of Manila recently
refused to authorize the expenditure
OF 10000 pesos ordered by the city
superintendent Of schools for primary
construction on the ground that no
funds were available.
AhPAhoc SCEh NtdSS EEeStlHe.
The rush for the teaching profess
sion on the part of normal school and
college graduates Is the result of class
consciousness. The largest part of the
masculine student body turns to law
since 1t is the stepping stone to poll
tics: while practically all the woman
graduates elect teaching, because of its
prestige in the small communities. AS
a result skilled labor in various fields
is being imported from Japan. China
controls the Philippine retail trade
and the F1lipinos are joining the ranks
OF the trained unemployed in law and
teaching
The Philippines are education con-
scious" to a remarkably nigh degree.
The power and wealth of the Ameri-
cans are attributed universally to their
educational system, and the Filipinos
have set about the assiduous imitation.
The quality Of work done in the schools
and colleges is not uniformly high, as
judged by American standards. but its
quantity Is prodigious. The University
OF the Philippines this year has 1000
students. Other colleges have reported
record enrollments, while the district
schools are all overcrowded.
Trade Schools Recommended.
DR. Charles Prosser, American voca-
tional expert, has just completed a
survey of educational conditions in the
Philippines, and his first recommended
ton was the immediate limitation OF
enrolment In normal schols and "col-
leges of education" coupled with the
establishment Of trade and agricul-
tural schools to swing the emphasis OF
education into productive fields. The
1ssular school superintendent met

nevertheless, with the architects and
the engineers before they embark on
their endeavors. In the superiority of
the American average residence to the
average residence elsewhere in the
world there is as much the demand
by the women as the execution by the
men, and the intelligence of that de-
mand could not exist except through
the willingness of American society to
concede to the American woman every
amplitude of individual, independent
personality.
To put it at its extreme and with no
allowance for multitudinous exceptional
instances, woman basically is demand
and man basically is supply. That
eternal and irrepealable rule is as oper-
alive in politics as in any other branch
of human activity.
An Example Cited.

familiar to me I attended a meeting
of the county committee of a major
national political party. BY common
contemporary custom the membership
of the committee was half of men and

German to seek justice in courts where
their own language is not allowed.
