Law and Foreign Policy
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 MT. Henry Stimson's address to the Council or Foreign Relations at New York was that of a lawyer not diplomat It could be incorporated without deetion into any standard textbooks on interna- tonal law, and would improve the book. However it tells nearly nothing of the policy of the United States in Latin America.
 The Secretary of State discusses two questions recognition and traffic in Respecting recogni- tion he restates the historic policy of the United States up to Woodrow Wilson This calls for prompt recognition of new State or Government when CD it controls the administrative machinery, CD the population appears to acquiest and (3) it is willing and apparently able discharge it's inter- national obligations.
 Woodrow Wilson's theory and practice added another stipulation before recognition was granted A new government must not have come into power through violence or breach of the legal processes of the country. This principal, at variance with traditional international law, Smson rejects, except in the case of five Central American republics, where special treaty makes it applicable.
 This is a restatement of the law which Wash ington has applied in seven revolutions in Latin America since March, 1929 It puts into clear form the recognition practice of the post Wilson Admin istraton. Regarding traffic in arms the Secre- tary offers similar defense of his policy in plac- ing an embargo on arms shipments to Brazilians other than the Luis Government. Legally it is a foolproof defense
 All this, however knew already from an occasional glance at the newspapers Mir Stimson could have enlightened us much if he had explained the policy, not the legal doctrine, of the United States What defense would he offer for example in policy, not in law, for allowing revolution in Panama when its Government forbade it less than year earlier? And what explanation would he offer for surreptitious influence from Washington to prevent revolution in Cuba after allowing it in seven countries with word of protest?
 But it was good speech, by good lawyer as far as it went

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

History repeats itself" is as old as it is true The latest exenpifeation of its truth comes in story from Arkansas where the effects of last sum- mers drought are being felt more severely than in any other section of the country In Marion County of that State where bank closings and drought losses have reduced the cash supply to a negligible status, raccoon and opposum hides are being used for money. One man, regarded as poverty stricken under the new monetary system, is cassed among the wealthiest residents owing to possession by him of 40 coon skins and 325 possum hides
 This is not the first time in Arkansas history that furs were the medium of exchange It and many other now great commonwealths passed through a period when furs and hides were not only the cash crop, but cash in themselves The pioneer settlers used them-and whiskey, also--to buy the stores purveyed by the traders who circulated through the sparsely settled land bartering his stocks for the products indigenous to the forests and fields for which markets existed in more set tied communities. Indians often used skins and belts as cash to pay for firewater and for the bright-colored, ornamental beads which were dear to their aboriginal hearts St Louis once the great fur mart for the pioneer West, on occasion used shaved deer skins as medium for exchange each skin having value of about 18 cents
 This serves to illustrate that cash is after all not in itself nrinsically valuable Its worth lies in its availability and use in exchange for the com

More and More Gas Taxes.
Nations Business. ]


 It was a tax conscious motorist who observed that some of the levies gasoline were enough to take all the charity out of free air and free crankcase service The filling station operators have nothing to say about the imposts of course. Responsibility lies with the State Legislatures Taxes on gasoline have increased so much in the last few years that the total revenue from this source in 1930 is expected by the American Petrol cum Institute to amount to about $550000000
 The idea of sales tax gasoline has spread rapidly. In 1919, the first year it introduced four States adopting the tax but within two years the number of taxing States had trebled All States and the District of Columbia have now authorized this tax in some degree. Three States are levying six cents, nine States five cents and eighteen States four cents a gallon Including the estimated receipts for 1930 the gas taxes paid in the last five years have been reckoned at S1 75O- 00000O
 The gasoline tax no longer affects only priv lleged class as motorists regarded by reason Of the cost of ownership. Whether or not further levies motor fuel are approved it might be well to decide the status of the automobile as a luxury or as necessity If it can still be argued that not every can afford a car ii can be as conclsvey stated that under the present terms of sale almost every have one and one out of every 4.6 persons has

FINANCIAL CONFIDENCE GREATER
 THAN COMMERCIAL.

Very little develops from day to day to influence the general trend of business. Buying power is slowly improving confidence is gradually returning, and there is at least disposition to spend more normally. In other words America is in process of regaining it's equanimity
 The breadth of the bond market betokens the re-estabshment of investment equanimity It was only month ago that because of isolated bank failures several important to be in the East, but mostly small institutions in the interior secur- ties of all grades being thrown for what they would bring The subsequent developments in the banking field have been uglier than might have been expected, and yet the entire atmosphere of the financial district is entirely changed
 Of course, when it comes to translating that confidence into aggressive business programs it is another matter. Mere confidence and easy money cannot alone accomplish that. There burden some inventories to be absorbed there is incen- tive to add to commitments while commodity prices are working to still lower levels
 Eventually the wheels of industry will turn faster material problems will slowly solve them selves and real expansion will get under way Whether it will be before next fall, when the agr- cultural outlook is definitely settled remains to be seen.

 Tournament

The Crows are now perched along side the Woodpeckers for first place in the Elks' bowling tourna- ment by defeating the Owls three straight last evening The Robins took two out of three from the Bluebirds and are only one game behind the leaders. It's a tight race.

Colonel Wray's Pension.
(New York World )

Col. Alexander Henry Wray, who died in Pat chogue, l. l, in his eightyninth year a veteran of the Civil War. He joined the Grand Army of the Republic. Though entitled to a pension he never drew one until 1907. Thereafter for twenty three years he regularly sent the amount of his pension, each month it received to the Confederate Veterans Home in Atlanta. He stopped this practice only last year, upon learning that there was a plan on foot to put up a plaque in the home in memory of his gifts
 It seems to us that in his quiet and modest way Colonel Wray did a great deal to maintain and strengthen the bonds of friendship now hap piy reknit, between North and South. His grace ful gesture of generosity the kind of good deed that helps to make the two wings of the American eagle flap together

a favorable balance of trade of $l0.-
100000. according to figures made public
yesterday by the Department of Com
merce. The value of the September

exports and imports, the September ex-
ports totaling Sl8l 100000. For August
the figures were $164, 973 for exports
and $166, 1868, $50 for imports, while for

August Japan imported 1872 900 bales
and Germany 13l 900, with the remain

Officials estimated that with Chinese
and other Oriental purchases added to
those for Japan the Orient would be
found to have taken at least one-third
OF all the American cotton shipped
during September.
Orient Increases Purchases.
The Orient added heavily to its off,
cially recorded purchases in this coun-
try, buying 100000 of the 10000
bushels of wheat exported during the
month. The department was without
figures showing wheat values, but it
was estimated roughly at around so
cents a bushel, making the total ship
ments worth approximately $4,500,000.
Shipments of wheat and flour to the
Far East are expected to continue up
ward for the next month or two. De-
partment officials said they had been
advised by the Farm Board that wheat
shipments during September did not
include any sold by the Farm Board
