Queries as to Anderson
Institution for Women
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
In the magazine section of a recent
Sunday issue of your paper appeared an
article written by Mr.. Edward j. CAL
houn with respect to the Federal In
stitution for Women at Anderson, w.
Va. He went into details as to how the
institution is managed. and the impress
sion one gets from the article is that
this Is sort Of rehabilitation institu-
ton and that the woman inmates re-
turn to civil life better fitted to fulfill
the duties Of citizenship than they were
before they entered. One who has
visited this institution wonders how
much truth there is in this.
Inmates of this institution are not
treated as they are at most Federal
prisons. but they are nevertheless re-
quired to observe rigid system Of rules.
Most OF the inmates are sentenced for
relatively short terms and, therefore,
do not generally remain at the inStitu-
ton for great lengths Of time. Some
Of the women are rather young, others
rather old. It is hard to believe that
these inmates would generally, in the
short periods which they serve. be re-
habiltated to the extent indicated In
the article
There seems to be good deal Of

superintendent and the rest of the per-
sonnet. The discipline which the in
mates are required to observe seems to
extend in certain degree to the, staff
members, and one hears a considerable
amout Of murmuring that they are
under the supervision Of dictator.
With the exception Of the superin-
tendent. who has been with the insti-
tuition since its inception, members Of
the staff do not generally remain there.
as they do elsewhere, for any great
lengths Of time, Notwithstanding that
they are selected under civil service ex-
aminations and are presumably quail
fed women. The turnover in staff
membership would seem to be due to
inability Of the superintendent to CO.
operate with other members of the stan.
As indicated in the article, inmates and
stan members are women, but one gets
the impression that the same degree Of
cooperation does not prevail as would
be expected In an institution managed
by lien.
This Is Q relatively recent institution.
where . considerable amount of Fed
eral money Is being spent, and it seems
that 1t might be well for the organi-
zation to be investigated to see If the
results accomplished there justify the
investment and large amount of money
that Is expended. F. WILSON.

Further Undermining Confidence.

The section of the imitation amend
ment permitting the President to re-
duce-by as much as one-haH-tne
rold content of the dollar has been the
most severely criticized part OF the in
fation scheme. If any Of the amend
ments to the imitation amendment are
voted down, it is believed that this one
is most likely to fail. There are ar
rayed against it not only the handful
of Senators who are specifically and
on general principles opposed to infia-
ton in any form, but also those Sena-
tors who are in favor Of controlled
imitation but rebel against this par
ticular method of imitation.
Reduction of the gold content OF the
dollar probably represents the Oldest
form of imitation known to man. 1t
was the customary resort, In days gone
past, of sovereigns who found their
debts piling too high and too fast to
reduce those debts by the relatively
simple expedient of debasing the value
of gold money by lowering the amount
of the gold that was in it-making two
coins grow where only one grew before
In the Senate debate the section has
been opposed on three grounds. First,
there Is the matter OF its constitu-
tionaIty, and no Senator has been
able, apparently, to convince even him
self that there are not grave doubts
as to the power Of Congress, under
the Constitution, to delegate such
powers to the President as this sec
ton confers Secondly. there Is the
matter of common honesty; the moral
tty of an act on the part Of the Gov
eminent by which it might arbitrarily
repudiate its obligations to citizens.
As Senator Glass succinctly stated the
point yesterday: When a citizen
buys a bond OF the United States the
primary basis of the transaction Is
the good faith OF the Nation, which
he respects. Does the Senator think
that citizen could any longer entertain
any good faith in his Nation If 1t
should repudiate one half Of its textual
obligation? And does the Senator
think it Is a moral Transaction"
But the third objection to this section,
entered yesterday by Senator Borah, Is
that it IS contradictory to the alleged
principle ON which the whole imitation
movement is based. This section might
serve to destroy at once whatever bene-
ats might lie in other parts Of the in
nation plan. This Is because Of the I'M
certainty that would exist In the bust
ness world as to whether the gold dollar
was to be devalued. Senator Borah re-
ferred to this uncertainty as distinctly
dehationary in its effect. He said: This
provision of the bill will be calculated to
sterilize any improvement of prices
which might flow from the other proN-
Gons Of the bill"
Undoubtedly, it would. 1t has been
said over and over again that until there
Is confidence there can be no improve
ment. Confidence is the element that
stimulates commercial enterprise more
than any other thing. And If there Is
added to the uncertainty already mani
fest over the ability of nation to con-
troll imitation once it undertakes inf1a-
ton the additional uncertainty as to
possible steps arbitrarily reducing the
value Of money expressed in gold, it is
difficult to see any other logical conse-
uuence than further def1ation.

~ Tho Interesting scheme

GtGON OAALI NEWS, SoloAu-
bo.-The interesting scheme
drafted at Handy with the OBJ
~ ject of extending long term
credit facilities to the small
holder deserves to be success. The
prime cause of the emasculation OF the
peasantry all over the country for many
decades has undoubtedly been the alb
sence Of machinery to place funds Tor
capital expenditure at the disposal OF
the small holder.
Large land owners have seen the
State Mortgage Bank come into ex-
istence for the avowed purpose OF AZ
fording them long-term credit. But
the small land owner has never en-
joyed this boon because, excellent as
Is the work being performed by the
cooperative central banks, their activ-
tiles are of necessity restricted to &C
commodation for short terms.
The small holders have accordingly
no alternative under existing circum-
stances but to put themselves at the
mercy Of the rapacious money lender
by borrowing from him what they re-
ouire for capital expenditure. The
almost invariable consequence Is that
sooner or later the small holder finds
himself In the clutches Of the usurer
and either loses his land altogether or
ekes out a miserable existence earning
barely sufficient to pay the interest
charged at ruinous rates. Naturally
he loses all interest in his occupation
and the downfall of him and his de-
pendents Is complete.

Chinese Boycott
Foreign Made Goods.

North China Daily News, Shanghai
This last week or so, the Hangchow
lords of commerce have been busy
sweeping the floors of their marts with
the broom of prejudice. In fact they
have put out a declaration OF war
against foreign goods OF every descr1p-
ton. The war of commerce Is waxing
fierce, and amidst a loud din of propa-
ganda, the populace are being urged to
cultivate taste for buying Chinese.
In the area Of the city known as
the Three Senior Wranglers" an ex-
hibition of native products is being con-
tinued and crowds Of people flock to
the stalls daily to take advantage OF
the cheap bargains The approach to
the fair Is emblazoned by ornamental
arches, draped in bright colors, and fes-
TONED with roses. Innumerable Scrolls
bear patriotic slogans in keeping with
the spirit of the times, such as:
American and European goods are
sweeping over our land like wind and
rain; put stop to this dumping on our
shores" Look out for the cracks, and
stop the leakage Of our money to foreign
lands" 1.-THE more we favor our own
products the greater our power OF re-
deeming loss of face and territory
There is no doubt the business lead
ers are endeavoring to hammer out that
selfish policy Of protectionism, to which
the countries of the West gave lead.
and now find, to their cost, that almost
every branch Of trade Is being gradually
throttled.

There's a joyous satisfaction
That resounds throughout the earth
Mighty minds have been in action,
And we cheer for all we're worth
Which is not so much at present
But we know we're going right
When we get the news so pleasant
That there wasn't any fight.
There were no voices troubled,
All was placid as could be.
Not an angry fist was doubled
'Mongst the hands across the sea.
The greetings were so hearty
That our spirits cannot fall
After so polite a party,
Which was much enjoyed by all.

Before the House COmmlttee on

of the Black 30-hour work week are
presenting their arguments. The idea
of the Black bill Is to take the work.
the employment, Of today and spread
1t out to more workers. It does not
contemplate a greater volume Of work
or q greater volume of production. It
merely seeks to spread the butter q
little more thinly on the bread 30 that
more people may have butter. It
seems to presuppose the fact that the
days of great production are gone.
surely this is a ridiculous and GER
tainly a hopeless way of looking at
the problems of the country. It would
anchor the country on smaller meas
ure Of production, when the great crying
need of the country today is more pro-
duction, more distribution and more
consumption. With the exception OF
the rich, all the millions Of Americans
could consume far more goods and COM
modities today than they are able to
get. The failure is in distribution of
products and profits Of labor. It II
stupid to try to curtau production under
these circumstances.
