VivisectiOn Limited

Fortunately enough for italy, her
Duce continues to find enough stamina
to be omnipresent on any vexing occa-
sion. Now is the turn of vivisection.
A decree was presented by Mussolini In
q cabinet meeting regulating the prac-
tice of vivisection, and consequently, ac-
cording to law shortly to be passed by
Parliament, vivisection will be Limited
to strictly indispensable cases."
Mr.. Hawksley, an Englishman, some
30 years ago founded in Rome the
Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Animals, and ever since its inception a
campaign against the indiscriminate
practice Of vivisection has been staged
with t1nconvincing results. Recently the
society was taken over by Italians, and
their first action consisted in asking for
the total abolition of vivisection. The
process is to be controlled by local gov
eminent Offices empowered to give IL
censes and anesthetics for animals
whether local or general, according to
the needs Of the case. Moreover, the
present law, If it functions well, should

Japan Proposes Doles
For the Unemployed

A system Of doles for workingmen has
been put before the Imperial japanese
Diet, and If passed in the next general
session viii inaugurate a means of
alleviating the unemployment problem
in q manner similar to that used In
England. According to the provisions
of the bill as drawn up for Japan, every
man out of work viii receive so cents Q
day so long as he continues unsuccess-
fully to seek employment The money
will be paid out Of the imperial treasury.
AS a means of helping the govern
ment defray this expense, each working
man in the country will be assessed the
sum of so cents q month. The paying
of the dole will be under the home min
istry, which would have charge Of reg
istering all those in the country eligi-
BILE for assistance. The bill places age
limits Of is to IS years on those who
could benefit from the dole, and fur
ther stipulates that those receiving

not refuse work offered them, unless
such work Is In the nature of strike

Among careful students of the

illusory, for even If the terms imposed

fused by dispensing them through
colonies that exact reckoning is i'm
possible.
Real Peace First Need.
This school of thought, therefore,
urges that the way to get real disarma-
ment is by establishing a real peace.
The League of Nations was founded on
the ideas Of the old American League
to enforce peace-namely, that all
should make common cause against a
pact breaker. This idea has since
grown weaker and weaker owing to the
fact that neither Russia nor the United
States Is q League member and that
Great Britain, fearing complications
with the United States, tends more and
more to interpret its obligations under
the League in the vaguest possible
manner.
The Kellogg pact as a substitute for
the League covenant is unacceptable to
most nations as the basis for disarma-
ment because it is said to be too in
definite. The United States, for ex-
ample, refuses to say what it will do
in case any signatory breaks the Kel-
logg pact and refuses even to agree to
consult with other signatories in this
event.
Reduction of ornaments might even
then be possible If all the nations were
satisfied with the present status, but
this Is so far from being the case that
half Of Europe is now clamoring for
revision of frontiers, which the other
half are determined to maintain.
In these circumstances, 1t is difficult
to see how any country can be forced
against its will to accept less armament
than 1t thinks necessary. Not a few
experts, therefore, believe that the gen.
eral disarmament conference should
content itself with fixing the maximum
ornaments of all nations at figures
they themselves agree to, leaving re-
auctions to follow gradually as political
conditions improve or as countries in
certain geographical regions reach an
agreement between themselves.

such as our tariff legislation provides
against all other countries whose tariffs
are discriminating. For any tariff sys-
tenn Of the Soviet is meaningless, since
II any duties are charged on foreign
goods the Soviet would pay any such
duties to the Soviet ITSELF
Our prohibition in existing tariff leg
islation Of dumped" goods cannot apply
though that country may practice the
worst form of dumping" Dumping"
as at present defined, is the selling Of
goods here at lower prices than those
fixed for the sale of the same goods in
the markets of origin. But in Russia
there Is no market, and all prices are
fixed arbitrarily by the government.
For example, the Soviet state monop-
oily has taken OF the tariff on coal,
which in any event 1t would have paid
only to itself. and thereby it has Sc
cured the privilege Of dumping its
own coal into the United States free
since that time there has been q rap
idly gaining import movement Of Soviet
coal into this country.
This remedy will be effective in linn
iting our reciprocity of tariff favors to
such countries as they were framed to
reach and in prohibiting the importa-
ton of the products Of forced labor.
But the Soviet competition is far more
formidable than appears in its persistent
attempts to Invade our home market.
Sooner or later Soviet goods will be
competing with ours in the foreign
markets and in every corner Of the
globe. They will continue to be grossly
inferior in quality and more costly than
ours to produce. They would not con-
stitute any danger whatever to us on
a basis Of fair competition. But in

THE PERIL OF THE
SOVIET TREADMILL
BY MATTHEW WOLL,

Labor, President Union Labor Life
Insurance Co.
~ ERIOUS consideration has been
given the question of how far 1t
is possible for our country to have
normal economic relations with
the Soviet government of Russia.
The HarrimanS and many other OF our
business men have found that they
could not conduct any industry inside
that country. The experiences OF our
exporters have convinced them that
they cannot sell there except under
short-term credits or credits renewed
from year to year under long-term
contract--Such arrangements being err
roneously advertised throughout the
world by the Soviet government as
"long-term credits" and as proving its
high financial status in this country!
The new question now arises as to
how far we can afford to buy from the
Soviets 4
Under our American system imported
goods either pay tariff fixed on their
market value or such goods are i'm
ported free of tariff provided that SIM
liar favors are offered our goods or for
other reasons Again, they may have
to pay special tariff If there is tariff
discrimination against us or if they are
being dumped" here to be sold below
the cost of their production abroad.
But neither cost of production nor mar
ket value can be determined in Soviet
Russia, where there is no free exchange
of goods and where all industry and
trade are consolidated into a monopoly
of the government. And. finally, any
reciprocal tariff favors offered by the
Soviet regime may be made utterly
valuelesS at the will of its dictators, who
are the only possible purchasers Of our
goods in Russia.

~ NE hot afternoon In the Sum-
mer Of 1905 a lad OF IL years
I trudged barefooted along
~ dusty Long Island road near
oyster Bay. AS he reached
the gate of Sycamore Hill he ran into
no less a person than the President OF
the United States. CARRIED in riding
toys and a SLOUGH hat, Theodore Roose-
welt was out for vigorous walk to give
free rein to his exultation.
Hello, Nick" he cried. The RUS
slams and the Japs have signed the
treaty."
II the youngster did not reply with
equal enthusiasm 1t was not because he
had never heard of the matter before.
His father and Theodore were first
cousins and although West RooSevelt's
life was devoted to the practice Of med
icine, he had the keenest interest in the
public affairs which absorbed the major
part of T. RS overfiowing vitality
When West died Nicholas was but 3
years old, but during all of his youth
he had the same access TO Cousin
Theodore" as the latter's own children.
Thus his formative years were passed
in an atmosphere saturated with public
affairs and world politics. And in that
atmosphere he met literally hundreds
of the men whose lives furnished the
raw material of the history Of the time.
Name Proves Responsibility.
BY the time Nicholas Roosevelt grad
uated from Harvard in 1914, however,
he had become fully aware that great
name was not an unmixed blessing. 1t
might open the door to opportunity, but
all too frequently it brought doubt to
accomplishment. The new bachelor OF
arts was conscious of growing deter
minatlon to achieve whatever he was
TO achieve in spite of rather than be-
cause of the fact that he was Roose-
velt
The background of Washington and
Harvard turned him naturally to the
diplomatic service as a field OF en-
deavor. He became an attache OF the
American Embassy in Paris Just as che
great war broke over the world to end
one period Of history and usher in an
other. During its four tortured years
and the no less tortured months of the
peacemaking Nicholas Roosevelt was
close TO the heart of historical events.
BY an interesting coincidence his inn
mediate chief, John w. Garrett
Is now his neighbor, being the Amer
lean Ambassador in Rome.

sonnet during the months when Paris
was within sound of the front was sufii-

Artificial Silk Trade
Running French Weavee

It appears that the industry Of arti-
fetal silk is running that Of natural silk
in France. Several weaving factories
in the south have already closed theis
doors, and as for "magnaneries" or
silkworm nurseries, they can hardly
keep alive. The pretty Province girls
who used to gather the silkworms on
the mulberry trees, reared them and
unwound the soft cocoons In boiling
water when the time was ripe, VIII do
no more of that simple country work:

 Charles Kingsford Smith landed his
 blaine "Southern Cross Jr.' here at 4:05 D, m., today, 450 miles from the sid, of his fiancee, Miss Mary Pow ell, who lies i'll at Sydney.
 News of her indisposition, which has confined her to her bed, was communicated to the airman, who has flown here from England in 12 days, breaking existing records. He seemed worried, but was relieved by
 assurances that her condition was not serious and that she hoped to greet him at the landing field to-
 morrow.
 Kingsford Smith came here today in cn Sr mile flight from Cloncurry,
 also in Queensland, where he stop
 ped after his departure Monday at
 dawn from Port Darwin, northern
 territory. He landed at Port Oar win Sunday to complete a record
 breaking flight of nine days 23 hours
 from England to Australia. He will take off here at dawn to-
 morrow for Sydney and expects to arrive there in about five hours.
 At Cloncurry he was handed a
 telegram from King Geoge to Lord
 Somers, acting Governor of Aus tralia, which said: "Please convey to
 Wing Commander Kingsford Smith
 my heartiest congratulations on his wonderful flight. Lord Somers
 himself added: Australia is proud to own you."

 Awful waste to give such heap of good looks to a man, wasn't it?" He laughed.
 She drew away from him. At first she had been amused at such frank acceptar ce of a handsome face but lately the joke had begun to pail.
 Shes jealous!" he exclaimed And then he laughed again. "Oh. Hallie, what's it matter if lot of dumb flappers make fools of them selves over me? You know it's only you I'm keen about. Hallie, your eyes are dark as night, and yet they're not really black. And one or your eyebrows is arched a little higher than the other-I like to try to make them match" But she evaded his touch. His spell was upon her, but it was not So strong tonight.
 You've never told me anything about my voice." she said.
 "Why, it's wonderful voice. It's"

 She stood still and stared. "The man I was talking to-" she said "was called SaXely Grannock. '

 Lester, let me go! You're hurt ing me-"
 Maybe I am a little. But you like it when I hurt you-you said once that you liked it. Hallie- Hallie-"
 She ceased to struggle. His spell was upon her, it clutched her fast. His kisses were on her eyes and her lips, his god-like, radiant fair ness was alight with the flame that she of all women could kindle in him.
 But underneath her languorous content there hid the knowledge that it was not his embrace that was hurting her tonight. It was the edge of something delicate. yet sharp, that she had slipped into her dress for safe keeping. The ivory rose, warm between her breasts, had drawn her blood. Copyright, 1880, by Roy Vickers)

 You didn't tell me he was in danger of going blind!"
 Her voice was shaking.
 Do you mean to tell me- cried Lester do you mean to tell me that you didn't know that for the last three hours you've been enduring the well-known Socks?"
 No. I didn't know. So that's why you thought I'd been clever"
 Broom was laughing immoderate- ly.

 "A trick? My dear girl. it was plain common sense. I've told ycu, Hallie, how mother left things. She had such profound faith in Socks judgment about everything that she left all her money in trust for me. I get it when and if ! marry girl he approves of. Until then-well, I get an allowance"

 'The Broons have always been gentlemen he explained magnifi- gently. And that-if you don't mind my saying so. Hallle-that's s just the difficulty. Supposing we had gone to Socks and asked his blessing right off the bat? He'd have. wanted to know all about you. naturally, and you'd have told him.
 That I'm earning my living as 0 nurse. That my namo is Har- rietta Ellesmore-the name of my dear aunt who was mother and father to me and who told me that my father had abandoned me-" The color was high in her cheeks "She offered, before she died, to tell me all about him. I refused even to hear his name. He'd abandoned me. I was glad to abandon him."
