It is the belief of those advocating
the founding Of a world police bureau
that information of all kinds can be
more quickly distributed from some
designated depot than by applying to
the various cities. The trends Of crime
throughout the world, the migration of
criminals and such movements can be
observed. A uniform method of keep

ference at Chicago in any event throws
much light on the conditions which
have arisen from the doings of inter-
national criminals and the necessity for
concerted action.
The foreign police delegates, after a
brief sightseeing tour in New York,
went to Washington, where they passed
part of last Wednesday. They arrived
in Chicago on Thursday and are sched-
uled to leave that city tonight for Pitts
burgh. They are due back in New
York next Tuesday to remain several
days after their formal reception by
the mayor at the City Hall.

Departure From the Gold Standard
Adds Life to South African Mines

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
It is estimated that the life of the gold
mines of the Wirwatersrand, the largest
producing mines in the world, has been
increased by anything from 40 to go
years by South Africa's departure
frcm the gold standard.
This seeming paradox IS explained
by the fact that the mines now enjoy
a premium of more than So an ounce.
which will enable the very low grades
of ore to be worked at profit. In
other words, the way is now open to
the greatest development the indus
try has had since the discovery Of
the cyanide process Of extraction IN
1895, which caused the great kafar
boom Of that period.
Profits Greatly Increased.
The first returns under the new
value of South African currency show
that the monthly profits of some of
the mines have increased as much as
tenfold. Some mines that were pre-
viously working at q less are now
making q handsome profit, and In
many cases the annual profit under
the new basis, and In the present con-
ditions must amount to more than the
capital value Of the companies con-
cerned.
It was this rosy position that caused
the greatest kafir boom since 1895, but
subsequent announcements have tenn
pered the enthusiasm Of spectators, and
opened the way to the real investors.

two contrasting principles are mex
tricably and inevitably involved in this
xperiment-public, collective control of
industry as against private, Individual
iStic control.
General Individualist.
As between the two, Gen. johnson in
his personal capacity is pretty surely
an individualist. Habitually, in the off,
hand remarks with which a man re-
fleets his unconscious mind, the gen.
eral speaks of this as "self-government
by industry" Once. asked whether the
experiment might be adopted perma-
nently, he said, with no particular con-
centration Of thought, "Oh, it's just
possible the experiment may develop
some few things that we may all want to
keep" For him, all this about perma-
nence is settled in the law The law
says the whole mechanism must come
to an end in two years after enactment
The provision for licensing businesses,
and giving power to revoke the license
which is the teeth" of the measure,
the pistol in the Governments hip
pocket-that part of the law comes to
an end in one year.
AiIS lullLdIlOu Oh Time means that
the law intends the experiment to be
merely for the emergency. Therefore
as an emergency measure only will Gen.
johnson administer it. 1t Is like Gen.
Johnson's early experience in the
Great War He wrote the draft law
mainly and carried it out wholly. Ut
was his extraordinary success at that
that caused him to be chosen to help
coordinate industry through the war
Industries Board. And it was his ex-
perience with the War Industries Board
chiefly. that caused him to be selected
for his present job)
Sympathetic to Draft.
The draft in the war was conscrip-
ton for limited time, for an emer-
gency Gen. johnson administered It
so. He was sympathetic to it. Per-
manent conscription for a permanent
standing Army would have been diff
ferent. If that had been decreed. no
doubt he would have carried it out as
an Army man should But I doubt
much If he would have sympathized
with the notion of conscription for a
standing Army. In all the aspects of

Mining executives state quite plainly
that attention will now be directed not
to the highest grades of ore, which yield
a good profit at any time. but to the
development of the lowest grades,
which, without the present premium,
could only be worked at heavy loss.
The results of this policy will be
twofold. In the first place, the life
to the ultimate benefit Of the coun-
try and Of the industry itself. and in
the second place, it will greatly lower
immediate profits, on which extrava-
CANT hopes had been placed by feath-
er-brained speculators.
Two Major Factors.
Two major factors can now affect
these plans and profits. The first is
a substantial rise in sterling, to which
the South African pound is linked
(and which 1t seems the policy of the
Bank Of England to prevent, and the
other Is q considerable rise In working
costs, which might possibly be caused
by labor troubles.
The mines depend on an abundant
supply Of cheap native labor, but as
mining profits improve the outlook gets
brighter for farmers, and it becomes
more and more dificult to coax natives
from the farms to the mines. Another
ever present possibility Is demand by
the white miners for an adequate share
Of the increased profits in the form
Of higher wages.

Wales Is Prince of Scotland;
Little Known Title Is Discovered

IONDON.-The novel suggestion
made by some enthusiastic Scotsmen
that the Prince Of Wales should as
sumo once in while the title Of Prince
Of Scotland has revealed to Thousands
Of Britons the existence Of the least
known Of all his titles.
When, a few days ago, the Prince
visited Rothesay to accept the freedom
OF that burgh, attention was drawn to
hts title, Duke OF Rothesay, described
BY him as the oldest Of his Scottish
titles. It dates back to 1898.
It has been asserted that the title
Prince Of Scotland antedates that Of
the Duke Of Rothesay and even the
Prince Of Wales. The claim, however,
does not appear to be well founded. It
did not come into use until the early
fifteenth century, ana not much was
heard Of 1t after the reign Of Charles I.
The title Prince Of Wales dates back to
1902.

Hunt $50. 600 Statue.

Police of Naples, Italy, have come to
the conclusion that another stolen art
treasure has been shipped out Of the
country. It Is the ancient Roman bronze
statue of Hercules, valued at $50, 900,
which was stolen from the excavations
at Herculaneum, the city named after
Hercules, which was destroyed AID. 70
by lava from Vesuvius. The statue had
been unearthed In excavations now In
progress. It Is the practice to leave OBJ
jects Of value on the spot where they
arc found for visitors to see. The ruins,
therefore, are closely guarded and work
men watched, but in spite Of vigilance
the bronze disappeared.

his personality. he is extremely indi-
vidualist himself. and therefore sus-
pect sympathetic with the individual
istic ideal. Anyhow, that does not
arise here. The law says this Is an
emergency two-year measure. and for
Gen. johnson that settles it. Emer-
gency it is. Two years it is.
But the other thing. permanent COL
lectivism, permanent Government con-
troll and direction. as the established
rule for industry in the United States

sons door every minute OF every day
And also at night. 1t won't merely
knock It will raise the windows,
creep in the second story. rise through
the cracks of the floor. come down
the chimney.
1t is in the nature of the case
that this should be SO. Gen. Johnson
and the law. is making rules for in
dustry. Rules tend to crystalline. Bu-
reaus set up for emergency tend to
cling Industry itself will be modi-
fled inevitably toward the mold Of col
lectivism.
Will Require Aggression.
To prevent this experiment from be-
coming permanent collectiviSm in one
degree or another, to cut 1t OF in two
years, will require aggressive action on
the part of somebody-the President,
the country. the Democratic party
leaders Of thought-somebody or some
group or some party.
Tendency toward permanence Of this
experiment Is inherent in the nature
of it. Further than that, tendency to-
ward collectivism is abroad in the world
everywhere.
Moreover, several high in various
Washington departments wish for per-
manent collectivism. Some of the
brain trust" wish for it and the pro-
gressives or radicals who hold strategic
key places here and there in the Gov
ernment. They sincerely believe in COL
lectivism as desirable and also tnevita-
ble-as made necessary by the present
stage in the evolution of society. They
believe in it. and from day to day
will give this emergency experiment
a push here. shove there, that will
tend to make it permanent.
Sometime within the two years life
of the measure showdown between
collectivism and the older American
way is unavoidable.
