Salt Once Used by Many
as Medium IF Exchan

Salt as a standard in the history Of
commerce antedates the gold stand
ard. AS medium Of exchange salt
was widely used in many ancient coun-
tries. The Mogul conquerors of India
made DEGREES thousands Of years ago
regulating the standard Of salt that
was used for money. Up until COM
paratively recent times salt was used
as a medium of exchange In the Shan
markets in Indo-China.
Besides being used as money, salt
In days gone by was powerful de-
veloper Of commerce. Being essential
10 life and unavailable to tribes re-
mote from the sea from which the
substance was obtained by evapora-
ton, trade routes were early devel-
bped to provide the transportation of
salt.
For hundreds of years caravan
route was maintained between Pal
myra and Syrian ports. Even today
much of the caravan traffic In Sahara

Indeed, according to historians, the
worlds second largest city, London,
was first founded because of the salt
trade. During the earliest days OF
European history salt was sent from
England to the continent. Cheshire
and Worcestershire provided salt for
Britain and Gaul, and the route for
its transportation crossed the country
in a southeasterly direction, crossing
the Thames, then very shallow, at a
ford where Westminster now stands.
An inn was built to accommodate salt
haulers when the river was too swol-
len to ford. From this humble begin

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
BY FRANK P. LITSCHERT

One of the principal contentious of
the internationalists during the debate
on the resolution for American adj
herence to the World Court has been
that membership in the League Court
and the participation in the manufac-
ture of advisory opinions will not
mix the United States into the affairs
of Europe. A little examination of the
contention proves that it is illogical to
say the least. In the first place, the
rendering of an advisory opinion for
the League is intended to lay down a
course and conduct for the League. 1t
presupposes that the opinion will be
enforced by the parent political body.
If advisory opinions are not to be ac-
copied and enforced, then what is the
use of rendering advisory opinions?
And to go further, what is the use
of the United States joining in the
first place? The Court clearly intends
that it's opinions be accepted by the
League and the League must intend
to enforce them if they are accepted.
Now the real reason the Europeans
have for getting the United States to
take part in the Court is that this
vii. enhance the chance of the enforc-
ed acceptance by the contending ma
tons of the opinions handed down.
In other words, the United States is
rich and powerful and our resources
are counted on in the enforcement of
advisory opinions.
Now if there is recalcitrant ma
ton or group Of nations, as is more
likely, which refuses to accept the de-
cision Of the Court and League there
are two ways in which the claws" can
be enforced. The first is by so-called
economic sanctions and the other is
by war. Economic sanctions seem wise
and peaceful at first glance, but they
are not. Many authorities believe that
the application of economic sanctions,
if carried out effectively, means suf-
fering and starvation on the part of
innocent women and children in the
so-called misbehaving country. Now

What blues and WeakS are in
the Bay are only an advance guard
of the great schools that will run
in August, September and Octo-
Der.
Trolling in the Bay at this time
is nothing short of waste of time.
Only one boat out of 10 that will
troll all day will get fish, and then
be lucky. From Hampton Roads
to Point Lookout there are a few
scattered small schools of surface
fish not worth the expenditure of
time or money, so save your money
for next month, or, if impatient,
go and catch a mess of hardheads.
There are lots of them to be had.
Diogenes, you can put out your
lamp! Here is the report this
week of Capt. Floyd Rollins, Mes
sick, Va:
Fishing has been so bad here
that / could not send a report,

Capt. Peter j. Beal reports
from Scotland, Md, that his
parties are getting lots of fish,
mostly hardheads. Capt. j. T..

then I'll admit he's too good

Well, there it is boys, and this
is the greatest year for unofficial
boffing that your correspondent

came to a point where even news

On the mems side of the fence,
Joe Lyman and John Broaddus,
for several years the city's top
notch diving aces, figure as the
strongest threat among the pros
pective entries. Only the acct
dental presence of Buddy" Clam
pitt, the Spa (Florida) Swimming
Club star, kept Lyman from bow
ing himself out of Junior competi-
ton by winning last years crown.
Clampitt, in Washington on a
visit last year, decided to try his
luck when he heard that the ma
tional junior mems diving cham
pionships were scheduled at Glen
Echo Pool. He entered and barely
nosed out Lyman, with Broaddus
a few points in the rear.
Broaddus has held practically
all the Districts diving titles, and
on his work so far this year rates
ahead of Lyman as a champion
ship challenger.
Both must watch a third Wash
ingtonian, Bob Knight, who has
been improving steadily with each
appearance, and so far this sea-
son has made Broaddus do some
extra fancy work to beat him.
