chairmanships from North to South
have any kind of sectional meaning.
AS changes from Republican to DEM
ocratic they have all the meaning in
the world. but little if any because Of
the mere change from North to South.
The Ways and Means Committee is
one of the two or three most impor-
tant in the House; it is the committee
that writes the initial form of the tar
iff and of tax bills. It's present Re-
publican chairman is Willis c. Hawley
of Oregon, its future Democratic chair
man will be James W. Collier of Mis-
sissippi As a Democrat, Collier of
Mississippi will throw his influence to-
ward presumably the opposite kind of
q tariff from that favored by Repub-
lican Hawley of Oregon. AS States,
however. the economic interests of Ore
gon and Mississippi in the tariff are
by no means contrasting. Both States
have lumber industries. Though the
kinds of lumber are different, the de-
sire of Mississippi soft pine for pro-
lection is much the same as the de-
sire of Oregon cedar. Both Mississippi
and Oregon are farming States, but
here there is difference: Mississippi's
farm crop is cotton, which except as
to the long staple variety has never
had tariff, whereas many of Oregon's
farm crops insistently demand a tar
if. In short, the difference between
the old Republican and the new Dem
ocratic chairman OF Ways and Means
will be difference, Of party rather
than of section.
The other very important function of
the Ways and Means Committee is to
write the initial draft of the tax law.
On this the interests of the two States,
as States, do not greatly differ. Both
Mississippi and Oregon are relatively
small payers of income and corporation
| taxes, compared to New York and
| Pennsylvania. New and Democratic
Chairman Collier of Mississippi may be
disposed to write a different sort of tax
bill from the one written by former
| and Republican Chairman Hawley of
| Oregon. but so far as the new chair
man differs 1t will be as a Democrat
rather than as a MissisSippian.
A few of the important committee
chairmanships will remain in the North,
though of course they will pass from
Republicans to Democrats. The chair
manship of Post Offices will pass from
Republican Sanders of New York to
Democratic Mead of New York. Edu-
cation will pass from Republican DAN
lei A. Reed of New York to Demo-
cratic Loring NJ Black, jr.. of New
York. Indian Affairs will pass from
Republican Scott Leavitt of Montana
TO Democratic John M. Evans of Mon
tana.
immigration and Naturalization will
pass from Republican Albert w. john
son Of the State of Washington to
Democratic Samuel r. Dickstein Of
New York City.

Hero of the NOrthlands

conservative north was followed by the
victories of the White army that broke
the Red rule and drove the Bolshe-
visits from power. Once more the
building of the new nation was under
taken, and through the formation of
the state Svinhufvud acted as provi-
sionaI head of the government Re-
lieved of his post shortly before the
election of the first President, he re-
tired to private life, where he re-
manned until new Communist inroads
were threatened-then once more he
offered himself for leadership and once
more he was elected.
His achievements and power have
not turned him into storming ego
list nor has he dramatiZed his position
by poses of grandeur. He is modest
| and reluctant to admit himself de-
serving of the honors bestowed upon
him. His diversions, like all the other
| facets of his life, are bound up in the
cause of Finland's welfare. Shooting
is his favorite sport. His interest in
it grew out of his activities in the
white Guard" civil organization of
militia that played en- important part
in the defeat of the Reds.
To make himself a more proficient
White Guard, he took up shooting as
a sport. He built rifle range on his
farm His continued practice has
made him the champion of Finland
| in this sport.
A few years ago. after establishing
| himself as the best rifle shot in the
land. he took up the revolver. He
came to the meet in this sport He
went to the range, took aim with his
pistol at tiny target that was scored
| from / to 10. He fired and counted
80" on the first shot. 1T is a mis-
take" he laughed, and pulled the trig-
ger a second time. This shot hit the
bulls-eye. He won high score. To-day
he holds records In pistol shooting.

when it elects Democrats, does so spo-
radically except in New York City and
few other diStricts), and keeps turn
ing from Democratic to Republican and
vice versa.
The South in a Democratic House
does not have larger number of MEM
bers than the North. In total Demo-
cratic membership of 217, the two sec
tons, South and North, are not FAR
from evenly divided depending on
whether Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri
and Oklahoma be regarded as South
ern States. The difference is that
most OF the Southern Democratic mem
Ders are veterans, and are therefore
well up in seniority, while many OF
the Northern Democratic members are
very new, quite a number being lit
orally new members, coming in on the
recent wave as successors to Republic
ans. Some States that will have no
chairmanships at all are: Illinois, CAL
1fornia. Missouri, Oklahoma Oregon,
Kentucky. Pennsylvania. Iowa, Kansas,
Wisconsin, Washington, Michigan, Con-
nectlcut, Minnesota, Colorado and
Idaho.
Some, but not much, change of atti-
ude on legislation will accompany the
movement of these posts of power, the
committee chairmanships, from North
to South. Very great alteration of at
titude. of course, follows the change
from Republican to Democratic-on the
tariff, for example But the difference
between the North, as such, and the
South, as such, is not momentous
No doubt, when the chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations comes
from Tennessee instead of Indiana, the
South may get somewhat larger share
OF the appropriations No doubt, when
the Craftsmanship of Naval Affairs
moves from Illinois to Georgia, the
South Atlantic Coast and the Gulf
OF Mexico may receive some of the at
tention and appropriations that for
merly went to naval stations on the
Great Lakes. No doubt, when the
Craftsmanship of Rivers and Harbors
moves from New York to Texas, it may
be discovered that the River Brazos
and the Harbor of Galveston deserve
some OF the attention and money now
paid to the Hudson River and the
Harbor of New York. The same migra-
ton Of favor may attend the corre-
spending migrations of the chairman
ships of the Committee on Military
Affairs, and Roads and Merchant
Marine.
Some, but not great deal. Appro-
priations and all such matters have in
recent years come to be so much deter
mined by the budget and otherwise so
hedged about by rules and restrictions
that there Is not now so much room
for local favor as once there was.

became president of the Senate. the
chief executive officer of the land. In
this capacity he issued the declaration
of Finnish independence on December

he was rushing the formation of a

This was new Russia. with GRIM
son banners flying. Red revolution
crashed into Finland.
His ancient enemy marched into
the land. The Communist party in
Finland, aided by BolShevist troops
and supplied with ammunition from
Moscow, captured the most populous
part of Finland, along the seacoast,
took the capital and drove Svinhufvud
from power.
Upon him fell the burden of once
more freeing his country. There were
two chief tasks to be done Help in
the form of arms had to be secured
from foreign powers, and the conserva-
tive strongholds in the northern part
of the nation had to be organized to
drive out the Reds. Svinhufvud I'M
dertook these missions. To accom-

try-but there was a price upon his
head and the Bolshevists held all the
seaports. A friend of Svinhufvud who
had a part in the plot told me the
story of his escape from Helsingfors
| 1t was Winter, the harbor was ice
locked; the only way out was by ice
breaker. There were two of these
craft in the bay, but they belonged to
the Reds and were being used for car
/ rying workmen to the islands off the
coast One morning 20 workers re-
ported to the icebreaker for trans
portation to the islands. Presenting
their credentials, they were taken on
board and the ship crashed into the
ice.
When the boat had left many miles
of broken ice in its wake, the workers
suddenly attacked and overpowerec
the crew, took command of the shir
and steered over q frozen sea to Es.
thonia. For the workers were White
army officers. The papers used tC
board the ship were forgeries. Anc

Labor Costs Analysed.
A frequent inducement for plant
migration beyond our shores is the
supposedly lower cost of labor In some
cases this deduction is valid. But the
utmost care should be taken to estab-
lish its absolute veracity before any
substantial expenditures are made for
a new plant. 1t would seem almost
superf1uous to point out that there is
by no means an invariable rela onship
between low wages and low labor costs.
For instance. the German worker in
the machine tool industry earns about
one third the wages of his American
counterpart, but he turns out in actual
value only little more than third OF
the output -. the American workman
N the same field. OF course the obvt-
Gus determinant is the labor costs per
unit of output rather than the rate OF
daily or weekly wages.
This phase of the branch factory
situation is of paramount Importance
these days because of the gravity OF
the labor problems Of industry in gen.
eral throughout the world. So many
countries are seething with social and
political unrest, and industry abroad Is
burdened with such drastic assessments
almost confiscatory in many cases
for the payment of doles and disability
charges and pensions and countless
other costs, both direct and concealed
that the American industrialist who
contc..iplates a branch factory should
weigh with the greatest care every
possible aspect of his potential costs
Ind this phase of the question ha,
sttil another vital aspect. Most observ'
ers are agreed that discipline in Amer
lean factories is likely to be far more
strict, which accounts in part for eheil
r,uch higher efficiency. Perhaps TIT

She knows how to organize her life.
The best part of her waking hours now

wher the heavy black door of 80
Bloomsbury street closes behind her. it
closes also on the woman Of business
and affairs. She never works at night.
She doesn't dance, you never see her
in the cabaretS or in the glittering
setting of the smart set haunts. But
she is a bit of an epicure. She ap-
preciates good food, good wine, fine
tobacco.
In town she has no time for ex-
ercise. except an occasional visit to an
ice skating club. But she makes up
for it during week ends and on her
regular vacations. She walks, works
in the garden, COILS, swims, skates.
Sometimes she goes on a walking tour

Physically she is scarcely middle

Is resilient, restless, with a tempered
ambition and sense of being on the
