EDITORIALS
Physician, Heal Thyself

Secretary of State Henry l.. Slim
son is all wrought up over the fact
that slavery and forced labor exist
in Liberia, the black Republic on
the West Coast of Africa. 1t can
not be denied that these conditions
exist. An International Commits
sion, one member of which was an
American-Dr. Chas. S. Johnson OF
Fisk University-filed n report in
which the existence of domestic and
tribal slavery was established. This
is, of course. regretable.
Slavery and forced labor cannot
be Justified in any country which
claims to be civilized. Especially II
is an anarchronism in country
which was established for the free
dom of former slaves and their de-
cendants and which bears name
whose meaning is liberty"
Secretary Stimson warns Liberia
that international public opinion
will no longer tolerate these twin
scourges of slavery and forced
labor" and threatens the African
republic with the final" alienation
OF the friendly feelings which the
American government and people
have entertained for Liberia since
its establishment nearly "A century
ago." unless these untoward condi-
tions are corrected and reforms in
stituted.
On the other hand, we wonder
whether Secretary Stimson knows
that there are communities in the
United States where the conditions
against which he raises his hands in
holy horror are practised. While
two wrongs never make right.
Liberia and any other country where
forced labor and slavery exist may
juatly point an accusing finger at us
and demand that we, with our su-
perior civilization, remove the beam
from our eye before we attempt to
remove the mote from theirs. II
looks like another ease OF ''Physic-
ian, heal myself"

GrOuing Forests

The virgin forests in the United States have beeni
rapidly depleted by the growing demand for lumber
and wood The necessity for reforestration and the
scientific production Of trees is being impressed up-
on the American people more and more each year
else our country faces the permanent loss of great
source Of natural wealth
During 1890, 138970 acres were reforested
through the cooperation of the federal and state gov
ernraents and thousands of agencies and individuals
Planting in national forests totaled 21678 acres,
state forestry departments supervised the planting Of
4l,0S8 acres and municipalities planted 9214 acres,
for about half Of the demonstration last year
viewed from geographical angle reforestra-
ton IN three states accounted for more than half of
the total in this country Michigan led in acreage re-
forestraton with total of 302 acres threefourths
Of which was the result Of state activity New York
and Pennsylvania the two other states leading in
this activity, with "A 0 and 1908 acres respective
ly, replanted in trees during 1880
There are millions Of acres of idle land in this
country, which should be growing trees They are not
only idle but being left to the depreciation Of erosion
and other natural elements A considerable amount of
farming land could be more profitaby employed in
growing trees Yet because of the long time element
involved between the initiation and the gathering Of
the product reforestraton will probably remain age
ly matter of governmental activity

Presidential Aspirants

One rule only governs the behaviour Of presi-
Dental asprant; he must be coy. Newton D. Baker
refused to say whether not he candidate for
the Democratic nomination. Governor Roosevelt of
New York observes the etiquette Of pretending that
he doesn't even know he is the object of nation
wide presidential boom Owen D. Young has stated
'sfaty that he doesn't want the nomination, though
Fit is no secret that Mr. Young is not onehaf de-
tached as he seems Could any young lady hoping for
proposal of marriage dissenlble more obviously than
"a nan flirting with the electorate?
The same rule applies to President who would
continue in office. Recently, the Executive Director
Of the Republican National Committee, Robert H
Lucas, explained tnat Mr. Hoover would not address
the Republican youths assembled in Washington be-
cause such action would seem to involve the Pre-
sident in politics. Perhaps Mr.. Lucas over-estimated
the youthfulness Of the gathering. He apparently
would have the young G. 0. P believe that Presi-
dent elected by political machinery regarded as the
titular head Of his political party, and dependent up
political processes fer his reelection is not pol
itician If Mr.. Hoover addressed political group it
might look though he wants the presidential nom
inatlon when it should that the nomination is
forced upon him. ft
Incidentally, Mr.. Lucas statement imparts an U1l-
worthy neining to the word politics" which may
not be taken kindly by those eager young people who
go to Washington to assert their political faith inE
the G. 0. P. Might they not follow the example of|
their President and also refuse to be politicians But
perhaps they can find inspiration in Webster whol
has defined politician as zone versed in the science

Bettwy Applies
For Vast Tract

PHOENIX, Ariz., June IS (U.PD
The Arizona Land Commission
acting as an agent of the federal
government, has under advisement
petition by former Senator An
drew BettWy Of Noga1es for control
Of 10000 acres. Of land in north
ern Yuma county.
BettWy applied for the land under
the Carey Act OF Congress, a law
making possible colonization on a
large scale.
Under terms of the Carey Act, a
person petitioning for tract is re-
quired to prove that water is avail
able. Cultivation of the tract within
five years also is required. The per-
son gaining control Of a piece of
land under this act may retain on
ly 160 acres under his own name but
may dispose of the remainder to
anyone wishing to purchase it.
The land in question was part
of an area withdrawn from entry
after passage of the Swing john
son bill, authorizing construction of
Hoover Dam. Bettwy's original ap-
plication, however, was made in
February, 1929, before the Withdraw
al order became effective.
In Arizona the Land Commission
act for the government in such
cases. A final decision will be rem
dered at meeting of the Commits
sion in the near future.
The state engineer will investigate
and check data presented the Com.
mission by Bettwy. This data con-
slSts OF engineering reports show
ing that water may be reached by
drilling comparatively shallow
wells.
The tract is 40 miles long and II
miles vide and is said to be first
class agricultural land.
