on the beaches, but on the streets and even in the stores of almost every city in the land.
 In only one place, hospital in Lewistown, Mont, has there been an actual ban against pajamas, and that's for visitors only. Patients can wear what they please. The hospital Is operated by the Daugh- ters of Jesus, q Catholic order.
 Almost everywhere else the fad has been accepted without protest
 In Des Moines, Ia, and Atlanta Ga, not only have pajamas been accepted as n proper and modest attire but the wearing of them in public places actually has been en- cOuraged by police "because they are more modest than formal clothes or the dresses women us- ually wear"
 In Chicago, one can stand or any Loop corner on any hot cVcn- Ing and count in an hour almost Us many pajamas as he can bobbcd heads. That doesn't include pa jamas In display windows.
 During the recent heat wave. one Loop restaurant adopted pajamas as "costumcs' for it's Waitrcsses.
 Down in the twin towns of Tex arkana, Tex, and TcXarkana, Ark. a controversy developed recently over the wearing of pajama8 on the streets. The chief of police of tlc Arkansas town said it was immodcst and that he'd put any woman in jail who tried it. Next day the police chief in TcXarkana Tex. issued an invitation to all TcXarkana. Ark. girls to come across tho street and "wcar their pa iamaS wherever they wanted to-"
 In the middIcwcst. the pajama has become such a common sight in the daytime that they don't even attract attention anymore.

RHODE ISLAND STRIKES ARE NOT
 YET SETTLED

Central Falls. R. l., July l5.-- Burlak, energetic organizer for the Workers Union, was a matter of considerable speculation in the Central Falls and Pawtucket silk strike area to-day.
 For the first time since rioting broke out at the plant of the Gem cral Fabrics Corporation here last week Miss Burlak was absent yes terday. 1t was reported unofficial ly that Y. $. immigration author ities had begun an investigation of her status aY regards citizenship.
 Meanwhile Anna M. Weinstock. Y. $. department of labor arbltra- tor, continued her efforts to settle the strike. involving some 700 Op- erativcs here and nearly twice as many at the plant of the Royal Weaving company in Pawtucket.
 She urged q citizens committee and a strikers committee to meet with her at Central hall yesterday. Two meetings were held but the strikers committee was not rep rescn,cd. Miss Weinstock planned another conference for to-day.
 The strikers committee, formed by Miss Burlak. proposed 10 Man ager George Manton of the Gen. cral Fabrics Mills that he meet them Friday for a discussion of differences.
 It was believed he might agree to the conference provided no "aCitatOrs" attended
 The blcachcry department of the Royal Weaving company was re- opened yesterday. and it was be- licved several other departments might resume operations to-day.

HARRY HORN ENJOYING
 TRIP TO TELEGRAPH CREEK

Harry Horn. genial postmaster at Takeen, has been a Wrangell visitor the past week. He was a round trip passenger on the Hazel B No. 2 which left Tuesday noon for Tele- graph Creek. Harry said he had lived in this country about quar- ter of a century and had always intended to make the Stikine river trip, but had never found a con venient time for it. He finally de- cided to make the trip while still a young man, able to enjoy his travel to a foreign land He also added, philosophically. that the sooner he went, the more years he would have to remember the pleasures of the trip.

COOPERATING WITH EUROPE

Whatever ones opinions may be on the subject of armament limita- tion or reduction, as to the measure Of it's practicability or the pace at which we may reasonably hope to move in that direction, the Presi- dent has done well to place the problem and emphatically before the conference of the international Chamber of Commerce. As was foretold the other day by MT. Hen ming, we are to have a good deal of advice from our distinguished visitors as to how the world de- pression is to be relieved, and the outstanding proposals are all for relief at our expense.
 We are to cancel our war loans, we are to put our gold reserve at the command of some international committee in which we have one vote, we are to reduce our tariff so as to permit a more easy compet1- tion in our home market with our own industries, we are to invest where it will do the most good to Europe according to the opinion of some international agency, and we are to open our gates again so as to permit the unemployed of other countries to join our own.
 We have been told frequently in recent years that we are chiefly re- sponsible for conditions in Europe and for the restoration of world property. We have heard little of the responsibility of the European governments and peoples for their own misfortunes. The persistent bellicosity of the wrangling Eure- pean household, the. perpetual war talk, the building up of armies and navies, the erection of trade bar riers across economic lines of nat ural cooperation, the complication of financial and commercial policies with political and military consid- eration, the fostering of ancient rivalaries and rancors-for all

DOESN'T THIS SURPRISE YOug

Congressman Ramseyer made a statement that doubtless was in the nature of news to a great many people when he said:
 France levies a duty on 80 per cent of the goods we send to France while we levy a duty on 2S per cent of the goods they send us; England levies a duty on 55 per cent of our merchandise while We tax 40 per cent of theirs; Belgium levies a duty on "A per cent of U. S. prod ucts while We collect duty on 62 per cent of Belgian products; Ger many collects on II per cent of our goods while we tax only 34 per cent of theirs.
 From what the enemies of the American tariff, domestic and for eign, say one would be led to be- lieye that this country is the only one that has a tariff Tn point of fact we admit a greater percentage of imports free than any other com mercial nation.

TARIFF IN OTHER COUNTRIES

From the bitter attacks upon the American policy of protection that are made both by domestic and foreign critics. one would be led to believe that the United States is the only country in the world that maintains a tariff. Of course the truth is that every commercial country raises a large proportion of it's revenues from duties on imports. Here are some Illuminating facts:
 In 1929 France collected ill GUS toms revenues sum estimated at 1.5 per cent of the estimated per capita income of it's people; Ger many collected Is per cent; Italy, 2.o per cent, and Great Britain, 8 per cent; while during the same year the United States collected rom customs seven-tenths of one per cent of the estimated per capita income of our people. In other words, assuming that the tariff is q tax which sometimes it is and -ometimes it is not) the United 1Cates leVies upon it's people only d small part of the burden that is .aId upon the people of the so-called free trade" countries of Europe.
 It will help to keep our thinking straight in the presence of preva- lent discussion of the tariff, if we fgmember these simple facts.

these we find no signs of peni- tenee. Uncle Sam Is the stubborn malefactor and he must reform-of course for his own good.
 In the presence of this admoni- tion the President has done well to invite our monitors to look to their own household. Et will have no appreciable effect upon them, but at least it may do something to- ward checking the tendency of so many of our supposedly practical captains of finance and industry who are impressed with the super iority of European judgment over our own. We hope it will brace up their American self-respect. There is nothing more mischievous in our international situation than the fact that the control of our inter national activities is largely under the influence if not completely in the control of men in New York and the East who suffer from snob bism and a social inferiority com plex with respect to Europe.
 Constructive cooperation with other nations is desirable and even essential to our own greatest pros perity. But it should be founded on a clear headed regard for the rights and interests of the Ameri- can people. Too many of our rep resentatives at international con ferences seem to feel that in com plaeently accepting a status infe- rior to the European members they acquire one superior to her Ameri- Chicago Tribune.

MT. Traylor of the First National Bank of Chicago told the Interna- tional Chamber of Commerce that governments cannot effectively or efficiently suspend the operation of economic laws, as witness the almost complete breakdown of eco homie conditions in Australia and New Zealand, where government ownership and operation have had their most universal application. We must not travel that path, he says. Government cooperation is imperative, but economic leadership must come from business.

The Saturday Evening Post, in a recent well-worded, calm and delib- crate editorial, points out real danger from communist activities in the United States today It shows that there is no reason for hysteria but that there is definite reason for curbing this menace within our own boundaries.
 It believes in neither fools par adise type of indulgence on the one hand, nor violent suppression and reaction on the other. In conclud- ing it's comment, it says "It takes effort, even for a nation as great as this, to remain sound and whole. !"
