Chinese Will Discard
Old Weighing System

SHANGHAI. China.-China's present
intricate system Of weights and meas
ures is to 60 into official discard on
February 1, according to government
ruling. Supplanting it viii be the more
normal and more easily understood
metric system. In partial use since 1929
by the customs and other government
departments.
In 1914 a standard weights and meas
ures system was drafted, but was not
put into effect until Is years later. It
established q double system, partly
metric and partly "old style" It Is now
considered that the country has had
enough time to familiarize itself with
the metric system, and the "oid style"
Is to be abolished.
Going into discard are such measures
Of weight as the catty, the picul, the
candareen and the mace, and such
measures Of area as the NOW and the
ching. and the measures Of distance,
such as the II. Since all Of these were
subject to different and local interpre-
tations, the new ruling can only serve
to bring order out Of chaos.

Gently claimed more than SOC, 900 acres
Of the Zuyder Zee, Great Britain is still
losing much valuable agricultural land
through coastal erosion.
In some quarters it Is demanded that
the protection Of the coastline against
the seas should be national RESPONSE
bdlity and that the prevention Of the
shrinkage Of these isles would be q de-
cidedly remunerative type Of public
works. At present local authorities have
to foot the bill. It Is estimated that
1000 900 tons Of cliffs are carried away
BY the sea every year and that the
average cost Of protective measures
along the whole tortuous coastline
would be $4,000 mile.
One Of the latest links In Britain's
line Of coastal defenses Is q new sea wall

Of $3.50. 900, which was recently opened
BY the former premier, David Lloyd

are now In camps, restrained only by
their own sense Of honor.
A secondary deterrent to progress in
prison reform is the public attitude.
Every one of us is swayed by his emo
tions. We read of sensational kid
naping or brutal killing, and In our
anger declare the perpetrators must be
captured and given the "hot squat"
Our justifiable resentment against the
onslaughts on established order carries
US, however, to the further extreme OF
classifying ell convicts as dangerous
criminals. Instead, the majority OF
them have transgressed against society
to much lesser degree.
We forget the many laws We hAye to
govern us. We forget that whtle some
Of them are popular and generally
obeyed, others are unpopular and con-
sequently are violated. In fact, there
are literally thousands ofzprisoners IN
Federal penitentiaries today who would
not be there at all under the laws Of .
few decades ago.
But be the convict first offender or

opinion that the greatest single service
which the prison can render the COM

In its inmates. This. however, Is Q task

TINE CRIME wave, with its in
discriminate kidnapings and
killings, Jail deliveries and peni-
i tentiary riots-and its resultant
reaction of mob violence as
exemplif1ed by the recent lynchings IN
California, Missouri and Maryland-is
causing Government penologists to
strive anew for perfection of our prison
system.
Mob violence, such as has occurred In
the last two weeks on the Eastern Shore
of Maryland, at San Jose, Calf, and
at st. Joseph, Mo-, is the cause Of great
concern among these prison officials
who are seeking to improve conditions.
It holds a more serious threat to county
jails and small institutions than to
State and Federal penitentiaries; it is
more likely to occur at the former, and
more easily controlled at the latter.
But, whatever the setting, 1t is magni-
fed when condoned by responsible State
officials, as in the case Of Gov. Rolph
Of California.
Federal authorities are one in de-
claring that orderly procedure can be
had and justice done only by the firm
suppression of all unruly demonstra-
tions, accomplished, If possible, by jail
and penitentiary guards, but whenever
necessary, by the emergency assistance
Of State or Federal troops. Mob rule,
1t Is insisted, is certain to offset the
earnest efforts to improve prison con-
ditions and cannot but result In dis
satisfaction and disturbance within as
we'll as without our prisons.
In these efforts q prison system Is
sought which will at once protect So
ciety against the criminally inclined
and still comprehend program OF
sound humanitarian rehabilitation. With
a minimum of political interference and
public clamor, Government penologists
are seeking to inaugurate new era in
the conduct Of our places OF correction.
Impression Too Deep.
The contemplated action will not
present the ultimate that reformers
have been seeking throughout the last
century-for bad heredity, faulty en-
vironment, lack of opportunity and
warped personality which characterize
the inmates of our prisons, have made
impressions that sometimes are too deep
to be eradicated. Neither will it popu-
larize the institutions; however prisons
may be perfected, inmates win be ready
to leave them whenever the door Is
opened-and sometimes when 1t Is not.

Policy of British Toward Egypt
May Change With New Commissioner

Sir Miles best chances of success would
lie in another attempt to build up a
leader who could command enough
popular support to justify signing a

likely to succeed where Sidky failed.

CAIRO, Egypt.-Sir Miles Lampson,
who has made distinguished record
as British Minister to China, will be-
come British high commissioner here
soon, with instructions, it is understood,
to try new policy aimed to make
possible the signature Of treaty here

Egyptian independence still rest on a
unilateral declaration by the English

foreign interests and minorities, de-
tense against external aggression and
the administration Of the Sudan.
Hoped for Treaty.
Sir Percy Lorraine, the outgoing COM
missioner, has followed policy OF sup
porting Sidky Pasha in the hope that
he would develop strong enough popular
support to warrant signing a treaty
with his cabinet Sidky was clearly
discredited even before his health broke
down, however, and the British foreign
oface is now expected to try new
policy.
Sir Miles appointment is oficially
described as q purely routine change
involving no new policy, but his out
standing position in the British foreign
service. his conspicuous success In con-
ciliating Chinese opinion-which was
rabidly Anglophobe when he went to
China-and the clear failure of the last
British treaty policy combine to tn-
dicate that he will try new methods.
what these methods will be 1t is too
