Soviet Union is a land of com
plants.
The bolshevik government in
vites them. 1t believes in self
criticism.
The public is taught from TO-
600 platforms that the govern
ment is theirs and it can win per-
lection only by learning its err
rors.
No press in the world airs so
many walls and woes. In edi-
torials, special articles and letters
to the editors, maladministratio
is denounced.
Communists and non-com-
munists alike join in the barrage.
Bouquets are far less numerous
than brickbats.
Life is hard in the Soviet Union.
Stain and his associates in CON
troll of the communist party admit
it in their speeches. Living
standards are too low. but the
public is told that the only way
to raise them is to join whole
heartedly in the plans of the pole
tartan government and hasten the
complete specialization of industry
and agriculture.
Transportation, industry, mar
keting and agriculture are all I'M
der fire. Failure to fulfill plans
is assaulted from Vladivostok to the
Baltic, from the White Sea to the
Black.
Great Faith In America
Critics have little to say about
the plans themselves. The soviet
system and the second five-year
plan generally are regarded as
above criticism. At least they are
not attacked in the press and in
public utterances.
The general faith in mechanical
ton attains the proportions of a

Jersey coast. That lesson had
been learned.
Another result of the Titanic's
loss was development of the coast
and geodetic surveys present sys-
TEN of charting daily movement
of ice in ship lanes. The Titanic
collided with an iceberg and sank
quickly.
When the Titanic went down
the S. S. Californian stood only 10
miles away-less than an hours
run-but her wireless operator
had gone to sleep. and the fran
tic appeal went unheeded.
Travelling Too Fast
Investigation of the sinking of
the Titanic resulted in the follow
ing statement:
"The Senate Investigating Com
mittee agrees that the Titanic was
travelling too fast through the ice
fields after having received at
least three warnings.
''The Senate Investigating Com
mittee agrees that the S. S. Cali
fornian violated all dictates. of hui
manity, International usage, and
the requirements of law by not
answering distress signals.
'"The Senate Investigating Com
mittee agrees that the ship I'll
tanic) was under-equipped.
"The Senate Investigating Com
mittee agrees that the wireless
operator of the S. S. Carpathia
was not duly vigilant in handling
messages after the accident.
Therefore. the Senate Investi-
eating Committee recommends:
81. That the buIkhead
system of ship-building be
improved.
~. That all ships carry
ing more than 100 passengers
carry two searchlights.
50. That every ship have
sufficient life-saving equip
ment.
~. And that every ship
have wireless operator con-
stantly on duty"
When the MORO Castle put to
sea. presumably she had complied
with these requirements to the let
ter. Yet. according to testimony
of survivors, some of the crew
showed ineptitude in the handling
of lifeboats.
One point, in particular, the
federal committee investigating
the loss of the MORO Castle is
seeking to determine is why the
distress signal was delayed so long
after fire was known to have
broken out. Perhaps new regula-
tions will pave the way to greater
safety.
And President Roosevelt has
suggested that congress enact
legislation to sweep wooden pas
senger ships from the seas. The
MORO Castle was not a wooden
liner, but much of her luxurious
furnishings were OfA wood and
other inflammable materials.

religion. The United States Is
idolized for its mastery of mass
production, which Russians hope
td achieve. American capitalism
is despised less than the capitalism
Of other lands because of the high
development of technique in the
industries of the United States.
Why-Why-Why And Why?
American technique, practiccd
by workers thoroughly schooled in
MARKHAM philosophy, is the ideal
of bolsheviSm. But the approach
to this ideal is rough.
Why do the railways fail to
achieve the construction and re-
pair work assigned to them?
Why do the machine tractor
stations fail to have all combines.
threshers and tractors in repair
for the harvest?
Why do the furniture trusts
use in their product green wood
which shrinks?
Why are dishes so expensive
and scarce?
Why are store managers and
clerks permitted to give short
weight, misrepresent shoddy
goods and overcharge in 10000
stores?
Why are building trusts SO
slow in providing workers with de-
cent quarters?
Why are bread prices 50 high?
Why are meat and fats so
scarce and so dear?
Why is the supply of goods for
women's dresses so limited, and
why are the patterns so ugly?
Why isn't wallpaper avail
able?

questions reach the Kremlin from

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Out OF
tragedy at sea have come more
efficient safeguards for passen.
gers and crew.
Nearly every time Davy Jones
opens his grim locker for another
human sacrifice, the science OF
navigation keeps pace, ever seek,
ing and finding new ways, new
devices, to cheat him of his prey
in the future.
That has been true in the past,
and already, on the heels of the
MORO Castle holocaust, in which
more than 100 are dead or miss
ing, efforts are under way to in
sure against a repetition. j,
Constant vigilance is the watch
word of the federal bureau of
navigation and steamboat inspec-
ton; at the very moment the
Moro Castle was burning con-
ference of its executive commit
tee under Dickerson N. Hoover,
chief of the bureau, was in pro-
gress in Washington to draft a
new boiler code for ships.
ReinsPection Regulation
1t was the General Slocum
disaster, in which 955 persons
most of them children, lost their
lives, that initiated the rigid ship
supervision in effect today. The
General Slocum, excursion steam
err. burned in New York's East
river, June Is. 1904. The board
of supervising inspectors there
upon developed the system Of re.
inspection of vessels subsequent
to the regular annual inspection,
and there are now three inter
mediary inspections of passenger
vessel each year.
Modern boiler inspection pro
cedure dates from the explosion
aboard the Observation, also in
the East river. in 1882, when II
lives were lost. The boiler never
was recovered, although the boiler
safety valve was found to be in
perfect working condition.
In the Titanic tragedy % years
ago, 1913 men, women and chill
dren paid the penalty of in
adequate safeguards. The veil
was lifted then by a senate com
mittee, and navigators found the
answers.
Titanic 'UnsinSsabIe'
The Titanic was believed to be
SO safe and "unsinkable" that
only 20 life boats and RATS were
carried for her 2,34O passengers
one life craft for about every
200 souls.
The MORO Castle, however.
carried enough life boats to meet
just such an emergency that be-

hours of September 8 off the New

TOURIST PENNIES
REPAIR TUMBLING
FRENCH CHATEAUX
HARD TIMES HIT PRINCE
AND MARQUIS AS HEAVILY
AS OTHERS; MANY HOMES
ARE GOING TO RUIN
By ALEXANDER H. UHL
(By Associated Pressl

PARIS, Sept. 17.-Tourists'
pennies are helping to keep the
wolf from the door of some of
Frances most magnificent cha
teaux.
Hard times have hit prince and
marquis just as heavily as every
one else and some of Frances
most famous country homes are
falling into ruin because their
owners can't afford to keep them
up.
Now an association of chateau
owners has been formed whereby
tourists may visit these private
dwellings at certain times on pay
ment of a slight fee. The money
goes toward keeping plumbing in
order and walls from tumbling
down.
British Follow Suit
1t has worked SO successfully
that a similar association may be
formed in England to help the
lordly owners of some of Britain's
stately houses.
Called the "most aristocratic
trade union in the world" the
French association was founded by
the owners of chateaux to defend
their own interest and to pre-
serve for France tourist asset
that was being threatened with
oblivion.
The chief qualification is to
own chateau. preferably with
historic interest. and to be ready
to throw it open to the public. In
return. the owner is supplied with
funds for upkeep of the place and
sometimes even gets tax advant-
ages and the right to keep his es-
tate intact for himself and his
heir.
Guard Coffee Hours
Funds are raised by subscrip-
tions and by the collection of 60
centimes (about three and a half
cents) from each visitor. Some of
the proceeds pay expenses of the
organization:
Naturally chateau owners have
no desire to have their coffee on
the terraces interrupted by visi-
tors, so definite times have been
assigned to sightseers.
There are more tina 60 chateaux
in the neighborhood of Paris which
now can be visited. Many of them
never have been open to the pub
lie.
