FEDERAL AIRCRAFT NEEDED.

Additional instances of the efficacy of the air plane in the North were given this week by flights to bring the ailing captain of a trading schooner from Cape Serdze to Nome for medical treatment and to carry antitoxn from Nome to Dillingham; to combat threatened diphthera epidemic In both cases no other of transportation was practicable.
 For the mission to Cape Serdze, which is above the Circle on the Siberian coast, dog sleds could not be considered for the winter season is not sufficiently advanced for the formation of large ice packs in the Arctic Sea. Ships cannot keep to a desired course now because of the multitude of small floes in those waters Even if conditions favored either animals vessels neither could offer the quick relief that demanded.
 The air distance between Nome and Cape Serdze is about 250 miles making a total of approximately 500 miles for the round trip. Water route or ice trail would be much longer What constitutes a flight of few hours for plane is journey Of days or of more than week for sled boat
 From Nome to Dillingham;, which is at the head of Nushagak Bay Boring Sea, the air course is close to 450 miles, any other way great deal longer Only a plane capable of affording timely assistance
 At considerable expense Coast Guard and other vessels are maintained by the Government for var ious sorts of patrol duty and for aiding shipping in time of peril Such craft are essential More rather than fewer of them needed in Northern waters. which wash island and mainland shores ot more than 5000 miles in extent But these boats should be supplemented with arplanes.
 Often Federal bureau vessels lie in port because they cannot be operated in some tasks as cheaply effective chartered airplanes.
 In the North, elsewhere, aircraft can serve as the eyes for water craft. The Nome plane that succored the captain of the trading schooner sur rounded by sush ice off Cape Serdze informed the vessels crew of water leads that could be followed to the open sea, thus enabling the ship to free herself from the grasp of an Arctic winter.
 By of planes, many Federal agencies can often function elss expensively and yet more eff cently than they do Aircraft introduction by the Government is urgent.

MAKING PROGRESS.

The progress made in the fight against the un-
 American Prohibition law and the attempt to force
 it upon the people with pistol and club is made clear when realize that very short time ago Proh agents bragged about the practice of shooting to kill suspects the orders to kill first and explain afterward etc Now people shudder with horror when it is brought out in a court trial that MT. Whitney gave orders of that nature Americans are returning to normalcy. They are learning that it requires more than the will of someone bearing arms to make people refrain from doing what they believe they have natural right to do Prohibition

lomatic service. 1t does not imply false
hood In any sense. 1t simply means
that nations In their official commune
cations must adhere to the canonS Of
an exaggerated courtesy lest they in
advertently give offense. National sem
sibilities are still far too volatile to per-
init official spokesman to speak with
anything like the frankness which Or
dinarily characterizes discussions be-
tween unofficial spokesman. Thus it
happens that unofficial diplomats can
frequently clear away the emotional
debris surrounding an issue in two or
three hours, where 1t would take the
official machinery as many years.
One of the first men to appreciate the
possibilities of such unofficial contacts
in the postwar era was President Harry
A. Garfield of Williams College. PreSi-
dent Garfield is the dean of our unoffi-
cial diplomats. He founded the Insti-
tute of Politics at Williamstown. which
this year will hold its tenth annual ses-
sion. In setting of great natural
beauty and of such historic traditions
as are possible in this country, the in

HaWaiians to Use
Sugar Cane Residue

Some Of the largest corporations in
Hawaii are interested In the formation
of company to make wallboard and
other fiber products from "bagasse, 4"
the residue after the sucrose content is
extracted from sugar cane.
This is the outgrowth of experiments
extending over several years with the
use of bagasse for some purpose other
than fuel IN the plantations. Each
sugar mill turns out very large
amount of bagasse In proportion to
other products of cane. and for years
sugar men have talked of using this
for wallboard and other building mate
rial.
A group of young men two years ago
launched a company which holds val
liable patents and has plans we'll ma
tured, but has not been hitherto
backed by large capital. Now 1t Is pro-
posed to form a $1,500000 corporation,
build $4,000 plant and 60 into fiber
board manufacture on an extensive
scale.

DR.. James r. Shotwell, director of the
division Of economics and history OF
the Carnegie Endowment for 1nterna-
tional Peace, in his annual report to
the trustees made public recently,
stated that one important project OF
research now under way Is an effort to
discover If there is any scientific foun-
dalton for the theory that economic
competition under the conditions OF
mass production Is bound to bring with
it international conflict. DR.. Shotwell
said:
This has an especial bearing upon
the foreign relations of the United
States. Recently books have appeared
attempting to prove that the economic
conquest of the world by the United
States Is destined to bring disaster to
other civilized competitors. In collabo-
ration with the director of the division
Of economics and history, committee
of economists has been engaged In spe-
cific studies which bear upon this
fundamental problem, and publication
Of some of these researches will take
place within the next few months"
To Complete History This Year.
In connection with the work of his
division, DR.. Shotwell during the last
year delivered so addresses, 81 in the
United States and 10 in the Orient
while on visit to China and Japan
last Autumn.
DIR. Shotwell, in reporting on the
progress of the Economic and Social
History of the World War, upon which
his division has been at work for IL
years, stated that 1913 volumes have
been completed: volumes are in
the press and 8 in the editors
hands, and the remaining IA volumes
are well on the way to completion.
Two hundred and twenty-one separate
monographs are included In the volumes
published. He announces that by the
end of the year the entire history will
be completed.
Social Displacement Wicked.
In his report DR.. Shotwell said:
Until the history is actually COM
pleted it does not seem expedient to
comment upon the contribution which
it offers to the understanding of the
problems of international peace. As
ports, the synthetic volumes in the diff
ferent national series are naturally
those which come at the close, sum-
ming up as they do, country by coun-
try, the total economic and social dis
placement which the war has caused.
Studies of this kind have either been
completed or are well on the way to-
ward completion In all the larger series
with the exception of the German and
the British.
"It had originally been planned that
these would all be finished by the end
of 1929, and the hope was entertained
that on the basis of, these synthetic
surveys some general picture might be

diplomatic machinery. These extra
legal operations are likely to arouse the
scorn of the official bureaucracy and to
provoke solemn headwaggings, accom-
panied by expressions of misgivings as
to the harm they may do. Thus far,
however, it would be difficult to point
out any specific issue in which the In
terests of the United States have been
injured or in which harm has been done
to anything but official self
On the contrary, 1t is possible to point
out a number of instances IN which the
work of this unofficial diplomacy has
materially assisted the officials at WASH
ington in arriving at more or less
happy solution of international prob
lens.
New Diplomacy Outlined.
The essence of this new diplomacy
we must call it that in the absence OF
any more appropriate words direct
contact and unrestricted discussion be-
tween leaders of opinion In the different
countries. Diplomats, in their ofiicial
capacity, find 1t extremely difficult to
speak the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth. This is due to
no inherent propensity for falsehood on
the part Of the men who enter the Dip

Spring Comes Before
Winter, Chinese Says

If Winter comes, can Spring be far
behind? The question has found an
unusual answer in Shanghai by Chi
nese student in local newspaper, who
states and proves his point that in 1929
Spring actually came on the calendar
before New Year day.
The old Chinese calendar, which was
the lunar calendar of 1929, announced
the festival of Li-chun, or Springs
commencement day, on the twenty-flfth
day of the twelfth moon, which was
equivalent to February on the solar
calendar; whereas Chinese New Year
did not come until February 10.
Since New Year day is generally
considered the commencement of the
cold weather, it can safely be said that
in China in 1929 Spring came before
Winter. 1t is not likely to happen
again. though, for the Marking govern
ment has decreed that in future the
lunar calendar is to be abolished, the
foreign style calendar taking its place.

MONEY TROUBLES HARASS
GOVERNMENT OF GERMANY
Present Budget Menaced by Huge Def
icit of Billion Marks Developed
i'm Month.

admit that the new budget Is menaced
again by a deficit of a billion marks
(about $24O, ,000).
What has happened? The estimates
of expenditures and receipts were in
correct. Tax returns are lower than was
expected. It is no wonder, for the con-
tinuing economic crisis weakens the tax
strained to the uttermost. In the first
four months of the current year tax re-
ceipts have been roundly 50,000,0 900
marks behind those of the same period
Of 1929, although important increase In
taxes had meanwhile been made.
Missed Calculation.
The mistake in estimating expendi-
lures was still worse. When the gov
heaven knows why!-that there would
be for the year an average of l,100, 900
unemployed In Germany. It Is now evil
dent that the figure should be increased
by at least SOC, 900, for the usual Spring
decrease in unemployment did not de-
velop this year. Germany today has a.
100000 unemployed, full million more
than last year, and there is no longer
any hope of such improvement this year
that the normal average will again be
reached.
Production Is declining in all lines.
The production of steel has reached the
lowest point since 1925. The coal
mines are discharging thousands of
workmen daily and in the building
trades at present over As per cent of
the organized workers are without jobs.
This means a severe menace to public
finances. Every unemployed person
costs the state an average of thousand
marks annually. Hence, the fact that
the government must reckon with
100000 more unemployed burdens the
budget with an extra 500, 000, 900 marks.
The government does not know at
the moment what it will do. The I'm
employment Insurance Institute has
made proposals for drastic reforms,
which save only 100,000,000 marks. The
government Is considering increasing
the insurance premium from 3E2 to Az
per cent, but 1t Is recalled that the
Mueller cabinet was overthrown because
1t was unable to get the Reichstag to
approve an increase Of " per cent.
The question now is how the Bruening
through the Reichstag. Even then
there would be a gap of several hundred
million marks, which must be stopped
up.
Taxes Raised Twice.
Now that taxes have been increased
twice since December, the demand that
the Reichstag approve third increase
is intolerable, especially since the peo-
pie had been promised that the appli-
cation of the Young plan would mean
an easing up on the taxpayers.
The situation is exceedingly grave
and the only hope still cherished by the
government Is that business will be
stimulated by big foreign loans. 1t is
hoped that when the Young plan loan
is placed the way will be opened to
the foreign capital market. Germany.
it will be remembered, gets 500, 600, 900
from the. PREPARATIONS loan. But that is
nothing compared with her require
ments. The German financial problem
can be solved only If it becomes pos
sible for German industry to enjoy half
way normal business.

German Woman Remains Chattel Today
Despite Self-Support and Right to Vote

Asked II she would favor prohibition
20 remedy such conditions as these, Frau
von Kardorn entered an emphatic mega
tive.
Prohibition would be an utterly false
solution" she said, but when a nation
spends nine billion marks of its annual
earnings on liquor, the matter takes on
an economic and social significance
which greatly overbalances its moral
side. Moderation becomes the dictate
of common sense, and the German
women heartily voice It,"
Reiterating that the real solution of
the German women'S difficulties lay in
their own hands, Frau Won Kardorff is
lecturing in Germany to that effect and
plans to go to the United States next
year to ask the cooperation CT Amer
lean womanhood In her work. If de-
velopments should prove 1t desirable to
one political party, Frau Won Kardorff
said she would exert every effort toward
forming such party.
After the first great stride made in
gaining political suffrage for women the
interest which they took in the progress
OF their cause seems to have diminished
considerably Woman members of the
Reichstag numbering formerly some so,
have in the present House decreased
to 80.
Double Standard Upheld.
Between the provision of the federal
constitution that men and women are
equal and the practical application of
this ideal gapes a wide abyss. The
Prussian supreme court has only lately
upheld the decision of superior court
granting an annulment of marriage to
husband on the ground that his wife
had been guilty of improper relations
with another man before her marriage.
The wife had appealed the case on the
basis that her husband had been guilty
of similar misconduct before marriage
The supreme court ruled none the less
that a man, according to prevailing
moral standards, might have such rela-
tons before marriage without losing
caste, but that woman under the
same circumstances revealed grave
moral defect

~ URING the postwar decade the
world has been evolving new
diplomacy in very real sense.
~ It has developed the technique
of the conference method
until almost every major issue now pre-
supposes an international conference for
its decision.
While the United States has attempt
ed to preserve some measure OF its ira
ditional isolation, we have been unable
to ignore wholly the interlocking char
acter of world politics. And the rapid
extension of our own international In
terests, commercial, financial and politi-
cal. has forced us willy-nilly to take
part in much of this new diplomacy.
Nevertheless there Is an official reluct-
ance about our proceedings which has
made us q follower rather than leader
in these new international relations.
In another field, however, Americans
have taken the lead in wholly new
development. We have discovered that
there are various methods of handling
and even Of solving, international dlfh-
culties quite aside from the ordinary
