For example, according to Dr.. Klein, American tourists in 1881 spent $11O,OO0,000 in France alone, a great deal more than France actually paid us on our war debts in 1881. Again Italian immigrants to America sent back home during the year $26,5O0,OOO in savings which is more than twice as much as Italy paid on the war debt. In tourist expenditures to all countries Americans spent abroad in 1881 the sum of s57O,0OO, 900. while foreign CTS travelling in the United States left only $112,000,000 so that the balance in favor of the rest of the world was $45S, 100000 in tourist trade alone. To all countries, inn migrants in the United States sent out $172,0O0,000 in savings, which was a gain to Europe because noth- ing came this way from American immigrants abroad.

To sum it all up, Dr. Klein's fig ures show that regardless of the purchases of American goods abroad. and of foreign goods in this country, Uncle Sam sent abroad a billion dollars more in 1881 than he got back from foreign countries in the way of these invisible ser vices noted above. In calling atten- tion to the importance of these in visible accounts in making up their balance of trade, Dr. Klein says:
 If we are to get a true and just comprehension of our position, we cannot confine our attention to the movements of materials that can be seen and touched, tangible merchandise and hard gold and concrete capital transfers. We must not make the mistake of we'll known politico-economic an- alyst who declared recently that our international obligations are settled by shipments of either gold or goods.
 He left the third item just as inn portant as the other two, but more elusive, more difficult to tabulate, namely, services. We must give due weight to these services as listed in the numerous classes of "in- visible payments" the many items which are not obvious and easily identified in international business.

Hawaii Trade Groups
Protest s'Cruise" Bills

HONOLULU, Hawaii.-Two bills In
troduced in the Lower House of Con-
gress, apparently at the behest of the
American Shipowners' Association, have
stirred vigorous opposition in Hawaii.
They are House bills 1874 and 8,s75,
and are designed to prohibit the So
called Cruises to nowhere" by foreign
vessels, as eyasions Of the coastwiss
shipping laws. But their terms are
such that the Honolulu agencies of the
Canadian-Pacifc and Canadian-Aus-
tralasian steamship companies say that
Honolulu, an American port, would
suffer from the legislation. It is held
that some Of the provisions would sc
restrict the travel Of Americans on
these Canadian ships that the ships
might omit Honolulu as port Of cali.
Both these lines are important factors
in the local shipping business. Hence
the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce,
Hawaii tourist bureau and other organ
izations are protesting the bills.

r TELSINGFORS.-S months ago
II the people Of Finland, by an
overwhelming majority in a
i / popular referendum in which
both men and women voted,
repealed their prohibition law. Three
months ago the 13-year period during
which Finland had vainly attempted
to enforce a dry regime legally came
to an end and the new liquor laws,
permitting the sale of alcoholic bev-
erages under strict government control,
came into force.
Although the length Of the expert
ment with temperance has covered
thus far only fraction Of the time de-
voted to the experiment. the visible re-
suits have been remarkable. Today
practically all the former influential and
uncompromising "drys," as well as the
vast majority Of the population, are
convinced of the fundamental error in
having attempted to enforce upon an
unsympathetic citizenry what proved to
be an unpopular reform, according to
the minister OF interior, Eric Won Born.
1t is admitted that some Of the evils
that came with prohibition are yet to
be eradicated. Bootlegging. on a small
scale, still continues and ships Of rum
Finnish territorial waters in the Cuffs
of Finland and Bothnia. The change,
however, in three short months, has
been so marked that officials freely pre-
dict that normalcy In regard to con-
sumption Of alcohol will be restored be-
fore the year is out.
Situation Has Improved.
1.-THE results Of the repeal of the dry
law and the coming into force Of the
new regulations, whereunder alcoholic
beverages can be legally bought from
government controlled dispensaries, al
though they have only had a compar-
attvely short time to manifest them
selves, are so evident that the wisdom
of giving up an unpopular and unen-
forceab.e law cannot be disputed from
any quarter" declared Won Born, who,
more than any other government Of
fetal, Is in position to study the prob
lem. The minister Of interior is max
ing close study, in all parts OF the
country, Of all aspects of the liquor
problem, in order to make the neces-
sary recommendations to the cabinet
and Parliament, and his deductions are
sweeping and unqualified In his inter-
view he said:
From practically every point of view
the internal situation as regards the
use of liquor has improved. There has
been marked decrease in crime of all
kinds, particularly crimes of violence, as
compared with the same period in pre-
vious years; arrests for drunkenness, even
counting the days which Immediately
followed the repeal Of the prohibition
law and the removal of restrictions on
the sale Of alcohol, have decreased
greatly; law-breaking is declining &C
ccrding to police and magistrate re-
ports; sobriety is becoming the rule
rather than the exception and boot
leggers are fast disappearing
The most remarkable thing, accord
ing to Minister Won Born, is the new
attitude of the people in regard to the
liquor laws. Where previously boot
logger was tolerated, If not welcome,
now he is regarded as a malsfactor and
outlaw. A new national morality is
appearing.
Bootlegger Seen as Menace.

goes on in spite of the new system, u

Justification Of Hopes.
In what measure can it be said that
the conference has justified the hopes
of the peoples? If the resolution which
it adopted were its last word. if that
were all that could be offered to the
nations as a disarmament plan, they
would indeed have ground for bitter
disappointment. The conference was
sitting for six months. and, true though
it Is that it had to face difficulties

Geneva Steps Toward Peace


when the conference meets again
France will put forward a detailed pro-
posal to this end.
Second-The conference decided to
prohibit all forms Of chemical war
fare and to abolish the preparation
that is to say, the instruments and the
training-for its use.
Third-The conference adopted q
paragraph in its resolution which clear
ly implies a decision to adopt some sys-
tenn of budgetary limitation.
Control and Supervision.
Fourth-The conference decided that
some system of international control
and supervision for the execution of the
disarmament treaty shall be set up and
that to this end permanent disarma-
men commission with adequate powers
shall be created.
Fifth-The conference decided to
create a subcommission to prepare a
plan for controlling the private and
public manufacture of arms and ma
terrell of war in order that the evils as
ISOLATED with the manufacture Of and
traffic in ornaments may be forever
ended NJ Herriot, like M. Paul Bon
cour before him, made it more than
plain that the French government is
resolved that this control shall be made
rigid and effective.
These decisions do not cover the
whole field of preparation for modern
war. The resolution contains no de-
cision of any material kind about naval
ornaments; it does little more than
outline system concerning land arma-
ments-that IS to say, land electives
and land materiel of war. A decision
that tanks be limited in size is not OF
great value until it Is known what the
size will be.
But it is perhaps not unsatisfactory
that progress has been made first about
the air. For without question it is
aerial attack by great numbers OF
powerful machines using poison gas and
incendiary bombs that constitutes the
greatest danger to our civilization and
the greatest temptation to sudden ag-
erosion. Moreover, it must be repeated
that this resolution marks the end OF
the first phase only. In its preamble
there is contained pledge that all the
governments will in the second stage
agree to make a general convention en-
bodying a substantial reduction in every
kind of armed forces. As Sir John
Simon repeatedly pointed out, no door
is closed. no proposal. however drastic
has been rejected. If the pledges OF
this resolution are to be fulfilled the
decisions now made must be rapidly
completed by like decisions covering
ornaments of every kind.
The conference, therefore, has by nc
means failed. Its work has been labori-
GUS and slow; it has borne some fruit.
If public opinion will continue to show
the governments what the peoples want
have no doubt that ultimate success
will be achieved.

BY ARTHUR HENDERSON,

President Of the Disarmament Conference.
~ ISARMAMENT is vital need
to every nation in the world
today. However complicated
- it may appear, a disarmament
treaty can easily be made as
soon as the governments want to make
it. This year or the next, at the pre-
sent conference. which will reconvene
in January, or at another, disarmament
will asSuredly come.
It will come because the people OF the
world want it, Whatever governments
may say; whatever difficulties general
STATS and technical experts may find;
however complicated international dis
putes may seem to statesmen and poll
ticians; there is nothing difficult, there
is nothing complicated in the question
of peace as the ordinary citizen sees IT,
For him it is a choice between the
methods of law and order which he
knows in his national government and
the methods of bloody violence with
which the pages OF international MS
tory have been stained.
And in that choice the ordinary citi-
zen's mind is made up. He wants to
end war; he wants to end hostility, sus-
picion and distrust between his own
and other peoples. He wants to end the
preparations for the next war" which
he would like never to have to fight. He
wants cooperation for the common
wellbeing of his own and other nations
in all the things which make life worth
living.
Striking Manifestation.
Never in history has there been so
striking a manifestation of this keen
will for peace as that which received
while the Disarmament Conference was
sitting. Day by day, from every quarter
CT the globe, from every kind of organ
ization, from individuals high and low,
there have come to me petitions. reso-
lutions, kilograms, letters and postcards
by the hundred thousands. The
churches, the women's organizations,
the trade unions, the Socialist parties,
the Liberal parties, the cooperative
guilds, the Free Masons, the teachers
all have sent me, by every post the de-
mands which their tens Of millions Of
members have put forward.
In the Disarmament Building there
are on view, for delegations and jour-
nalistS to see, cases which hold some
examples of these communications.
There is wonderfully Illuminated pc
tition beautifully mounted on leather
from the churches in Wales; there is
another like it from 100000 women
belonging to active organizations Of the
Catholic Church. There are seven
large blue volumes containing the sig
natures of citizens of Sweden to ma
tional petition. There Is table
showing how many signatures there
were from each of 40 countries to the

and obstacles such as have confronted
no other international conference of
modern times, it remains none the
less true that the practical results Of
its arduous labors are meager.
But it would be unjust and wrong
to regard these results as worthless
The resolution which was adopted en-
bodies some decisions of real impor-
lance. I will emphasize five points
which I think are cause for genuine
satisfaction.
First-The conference decided that
If certain conditions can be fulfilled
aerial bombardment shall be prohibited
and that to make this prohibition eff
fective bombing aircraft shall be abol-
ished. Both M. Herriot and Sir John
Simon made it plain beyond all ques-
ton that they so interpret the decision
that was made. The condition to be
fulfilled is that some scheme of inter-
naturalization shall remove the dan
ger that civil aircraf, may be abused
for purposes of war. No one doubts
that such scheme can be found and

4 SMALL spot on the map Of the
n Northern Hemisphere is labeled
~ Iceland. 1t Is so far from
1 \ everywhere that few of us ever
think Of it, though airmen some
times use it for landing place
to catch breath, in round-the-
world flight. Yet Iceland is a most
interesting country in the history of
exploration and the development of a
constitutional form of government
This small island has only some 40, 600
square miles of area, is located just
south of the Arctic circle and Is some
500 miles northwest of Scotland and
Norway, but in this out-of-the- way,
diminutive country We find the oldest
Parliament in the world. This Con-
gress or Parliament is known as the
"Althing."
The people OF Iceland celebrated the
1.000th anniversary of that form of
government July II, 1882. The United
States took part in the ceremonies by
presenting to Iceland statue of Lief

1000 AID. explored the northeastern
coast of this continent and called 1t
Vinland. So far as known he was the
first white man to visit what Is now
known as North America. He was sent
on this trip to visit Greenland and to
establish the Christian religion among
its natives, but adverse winds carried
him far south of Greenland and it Is
now believed that the point he touched
was the peninsula of Nova Scotia.
Little is known Of his father Eric
the Red. He was probably dubbed "the
Red" on account of the color of his
hair or peppery temper, rather than
for any fiery theories on politics and
the social structure that he might have
