Welles Makes Good.
Cincinnati Enquirer.D

Sumner Weles scarcely known to the public when he appointed Ambassador to Cuba few months ago. Today he is recognized one of the ablest men of our diplomatic establishment. At Al he not merely has achieved of the most re- sponsible posts in foreign service, but he has demonstrated his ability to handle a very intricate and very difficult situation with tact and frmness. Weles's record in Cuba is final answer to those who assert that the service turns out nice hammered rubber stamps without ability to act for themselves.
 assignment He was asked to reform the most autocratic government in the Western Hemisphere, and to restore constitutional where there existed only terrorism and bribery. coercion and tyranny. Welles did not accomplish this alone. On the contrary, his role secondary for the Cuban people and the Cuban army managed the revou- tion, as they should. But grave dangers to the United States urked in the Cuban situation, and Welles avoided duplicating his Government.
 The outstanding contributions of MT. Welles to the Cuban revolution were two. He made plain to Machado and his colleagues that the United States would not support him longer. And he brought together the opposition elements and did much to make possible their united effort which alone pre- vented sanguinary civil war.
 Revolution and overthrow of Machado cer- tain to come. Had the United States continued it's tacit support of Machado the final upshot would certainly have been extremist, anti American fac tion in power after long period of strife dangerous to American interests. Instead the forces of re- volt harnessed the danger of an extremist government avoided, the necessity for American intervention eliminated.
 MT. Welles has done good job. And he is young enough that we may expect him to do many more good jobs.

ITALIAN VESSEL SETS ATLANTIC
 RECORD.

Italians are jublant and properly so over the new speed record recently set by the liner Rex Ill crossing the Atlantic Ocean from Gibraltar to New York coming but few days after the brilliant feat of the great airplane squadron in a roundtrip crossing between Rome and Chicago. For the 3lSl sea miles from Gibraltar to the Ambrose nghtshp it required days, 13 hours and 48 minutes Her average speed was 2892 knots Her longest days run was 736 miles, for average speed of Z9oI knots The Rex thus set three new records-the fastest crossing ths highest average speed for the crossing and new days mark.
 The best previous record was held by the North German Lloyd liner Europa, attained last July when she crossed from Cherbourg to Ambrose lghtship in days, 16 hours and 48 minutes over course of 3l49 miles at an average speed of 2792 knots Previously the Bremen had crossed the Atlantic Tn days Is hours and 56 minutes, but the course followed was considerably shorter than that used by the Europa which considered the fastest ship
 Officers of the Rex believe her time can even be bettered under favorable weather conditions. Most of the trip from Gibraltar she was in rough seas that piled up before southwest wind. With fol- lowing wind or in calm weather the Rex probably could cut few hours off this time, the fastest ever travelled for the entire distance by any mer- chant vessel

CANADA TO TAX TRUCK TRANSPORTS

That Canada will attempt to solve the long discussed motor truck competition of rail lines be- fore the United States gets around to 1t was indicated recently in a statement made by Hon. R. J. Manion, Canadian Minister of Railways, to the effect that a nationwide tariff highway truck transportation will be drafted this Fall at a conference of Dominion and Provincial Government representatives This is designed to bring about a system of uniform regulation of trucking companies competing with railways throughout the Dominion. While the Ottawa conference will deal specifically with uniform taxes on trucks throughout all of the Provinces it is expected discussion will develop plans for Provincial public service commissions assuming jurisdiction freight rate charges by trucks similar to jurisdiction of the Federal board of railway commissioners over rail freight rates
 The Quebec Public Service Commission, for instance already has been granted legislative juris diction truck freight rates, although it has taken action pending uniform action by other Provinces in cooperation with Federal authorities.

REMINDERS.

The sorry pilgrimage that has been an after math of the war is over. The last group of Gold Star Mothers has knelt by the White Crosses in France and is now back at home.
 In all 6,669 have gone to stand above the bit of earth their made forever American, as Rupert Brooke made his corner of foreign field forever England" The money that it has cost has been justifiaby spent. For with them, of course the war is not yet over. The boy is still away.
 To have given them the opportunity to stand at the simple shrines which mark their sacrifice the least the country could do for them to have made possible for them those few moments of odd exaltation less than a duty
 Now coming back with their sorrow, they bring to mind their plight. They live on as reminders of the folly of gunfire the stupidity of the bayonet and the everlasting futility of war.

There was time back in the era before the Waldorf gitterng reality when men wore checks. It happy and naive time of paddock coats with mother f-pearl buttons larger than saucers. lavender spatterdashes and top hats with elegantly curly brims Center Hitchcock, Ned Center and Evander Berry Wall evolved morning coats, stocks, waistcoats and smoking jackets that would have blinded Soloman and on Fifth Avenue parade eyed one another jeaously cats to discover how many buttons their rival affecting on each cuff that season The elder MT Morgan was reputed to have had all the uniforms for the Corsairs sailors made at his tailors. and the business of being a well dressed man career in itself. And this was time when checks were king. Tattersai waist coats, spongebag trousers hound's-tooth pattern golf brooches, Glen Urquhart jackets and plaid greatcoats were all the rage for half generation.
 Now checks and plads are enjoying renaissance. The Prince of Wales and Douglas Fairbanks Noel Coward, Clark Gable and other popular arbtri elegantiarum bursting into checkerboard raiment lit to dazzle all behoders, and quieter- minded bus- ness men following their lead with finer pattern plaids and overchecks. Probably it is the masculine complement to the fashions of Victorian origin now Tn vogue for women. In any event, it is a change

CONSTRUCTION TO BE RUSHED
 ON BUILDINGS
Bureau Education Schools Be Built with MIRA Funds
 to Be Started at Once

Construction of schools from moneys recently allotted the Office of Indian Affairs from the emer- gency funs under the National Re- covery Act will begin as soon as possible and it is hoped that all seven of the authorized buildings will be completed this Fall or Win ter. it was announced today by Paul c. Gordon, Director of Edu- cation, of the Alaska Division.
 Buildings varying in cost from s7O0O to $i5,00O will be built at Diomodes, Buckland, Unalakleet Tetlin, Quigillinog and Douglas under the provisions of the MIRA With the exception of the school at Douglas, are all places where the plants have been destroyed by fire during the last two years and there are no buildings available at present. MT. Gordon said.
 Boxer To Sail
 Plans have been sent out and the Boxer will be dispatched from Seattle September Is transporting materials necessary for the var ious schols. Wherever possible To- cal materials and labor will be utilized in the construction" he declared.
 Wires have already been sent by MT. Gordon to Dionedes to begin excavation and preparation of a site for the new building so that construction can begin the moment materials arrive on the island, in order that the work can be done this year. Due to the fact that there is no lumber on Diomedes Island, actual construction must await the arrival there of mater ials, as is also the case in Unala- kleet, while logs are already being assembled for the log school house to be built at Buckland.
 DougLss School
 In Douglas the Bureau plans to build a structure large enough fol community house to be used py the Indian people for social pur- poses with shop facilities for the men, and stoves, looms and other materials to be used in hand work cooking and so forth, by the Wo- men, as we'll as class rooms for the children.
 Plans for the various Schoo buildings will be completed within Ia fe.g days and work will be start ed in Douglas within the next week or so, MT. Gordon said. The amount apportioned to Alaska fol these needed schools was $54,00O he declared.

Commissioner Bell Has Confidence of
 AlaSkanS.
Seattle Business Chronicle)

Frank T. Bell, new U. S. Commissioner of Fish cries, having returned to Washington, D. C., from Alaska where he spent several weeks investigating conditions and acquiring frst-hand information, says in a letter to the editor of Business Chronicle My trip to Alaska was quite revelation, and would not have missed it for anything. I am sure I am in better position now to do good work there, and to accomplish many useful things for the Bureau of Fisheries and the people of Alaska.
 Editorial expressions in Alaskan newspapers show Commissioner Bell handled several situations" with tact and ability that he the respect of the many diverse interests by the justness of his de- csons, rendered only after giving both sides oppor- tunty to be heard and in accordance with the facts las developed at public hearings. AS Governor John wv. Troy's paper, Daily Alaska Empire, published at the Terrietory capital at Juneau says: "Commis- soner Bell has demonstrated repeatedly since he has been at the head of the Bureau of Fisheries in the past few months that he is fairminded.
 As fishing is of such paramount economic i'm portance to Alaska, and it is so largely under control of the Commissioner, the people of Alaska levidently regard President Roosevelts appointment lof MT. Bell with approval.

plioation of the same rule
which it has laid down for the
relief of other cases Of invol-
untary want or deStitution.
In other words, if the indi-
vidual affected can afford to
pay for his own treatment, he
can not call on any form Of
government aid. If he has not
the wherewithal to take care Of
himself, it is first of all the
duty of his community to take
care of him and next the duty
of his State. Only If under
these circumstances his own
community and mis- own State
are unable, after reasonable
effort, to care for him, then,
and then only, should the Fed
eral government offer him hos
pitalization and care.
Role of Legion.
. The young men of this coun-
try in the event of war would
bear the first brunt of National
defense think of us Of the
American Legion as middle-aged
people. You and are not yet
ready to admit that we have
lone foot in the grave" We
think of ourselves and with
some justification, perhaps, as
people of some experience, OF
some maturity of judgment, OF
position in the community
which carries responsibilities.
We believe we have influence
as individuals and we believe
that as an organization the
American Legion has enormous
power for the good of the coun-
try for many years to come.
It is not enough that you have
helped to write the history OF
American. It is a fact that
much of the future history of
America will be history which
you will help to make.
Your future interests are in
separable from those of other
citizens, and granting that your
interest in the disabled and de-
pendent comrades is first upon
your program, ask in addition
your cooperation in the great
program of national rehabilita-
ton in which you and I are
equally engaged.

minated, and not connected
with that service.
1t does mean, however, that
those who were injured in or
as a result of their service, are
entitled to receive adequate and
generous compensation for their
disabilities. 1t does mean that
generous care shall be ex-
tended to the dependents of
those who died in or as a re.
suit Of service to their country.
Many Mistakes Made
To carry out these principles,
the people of this country can
and will pay in taxes the sums
which it is necessary to raise.
To carry out these principles
will not bankrupt your Govern.
ment nor throw its bookkeeping
into the red.
Every person who has made
honest study knows that mis-
takes, many Of them, have
been made during the course
Of fifteen years. I personally
know that mistakes in individual
cases and inequalities affect
ing various groups have occurred
during the past six months.
But at the same time, there
stands out the fact which you
know-that many of these mis-
takes have been rectified and
that we have the definite pur-
pose Of doing justice not only
to the mass, but, insofar as
possible, to every individual as
we'll.
Furthermore. it is my hope
that insofar as justice concerns
those whose disabilities are, as
matter Of fact, of war service
origin. the Government will be
able to extend even more gen.
erouS care than is now provided
under existing regulations. It
is to these men that our obli.
cation exists.
A Third Principle
To these two broad principles
the time has come, I believe,
for us to add a third. There
are many veterans of our wars
to whom disability and sickness
unconnected with war service
has come. To them the Fed
eral government owes the ap-

World War know that we repre-
sented united nation in time
of danger to world civilization.
But you and I know also that
national unity is as essential in
time of peace as in time of war.
Two Enemies Of Unity
If this country is worth liv-
ing in, If this flag of ours is
worth living under, if our so
cial order means anything to
us, then this country of ours
is worth defending every day
and every year of the life Of
every individual one of us.
It is because I am unwilling
to live myself, or to have my
children or grandchildren live,
under an alien flag or an alien
form of government that I be-
lieve in the fundamental obliga-
ton of citizenship to don the
uniform of our country, to carry
arms in its defense when our
country and the things it stands
for are attacked.
But there are two enemies Of
national unity, sectionalism
and class, and if the spirit of
sectionalism or the spirit of
class is allowed to grow strong,
or to prevail, it means the end
of national unity and the end
of patriotism.
Some people who visited us
from other lands still find it
difficult to credit the fact that
a nation sprung from many
sources. nation one hundred
and thirty million strong,
nation stretching three thou
sand miles from east to west
is, in all the great essentials
Of its civilization, a homo
geneous whole; for not only do
we speak one language, not
only are the customs and
habits Of our people similar in
every part of the continent.
but we have given repeated
proof on many occasions, and
especially in recent years, that
we are willing to forego Sec
tional advantage where such
advantage can be obtained only
by one part of the country at
the expense of another.
Class Distinction
The other enemy of ma
tional unity is class distinction,
and you and I are well aware
of the simple fact that as
every day passes, the people Of
this country are less and less
willing to tolerate benefits for
any one group of citizens which
must be paid for by others.
You have been willing to
fight for the benefits of Ameri-
can life. You have been will
ing to live for American unity.
You have understood that this
is the very foundation of the
Americanism for which you
stand, in which you believe.
and to which you and I swore
allegiance when we became
American LegionnaireS.
For several years past the
