was higi, lighted by the annual
presentation OF awards to the city's
street cleaners and ash, Trash and
garbage collectors. The awards,
which were made by william Al.
xanten, superintendent Of the City
Refuse Division, marked the codlclu-
sion of the clubs annual clean
city campaign. .ss53s5
Gen. Young praised the efficient
JOB the Refuse Department Is do
ing, and stressed the Importance of
its work to the city. x city that
is not clean is ugly, depressing and
|unsanitaTy," he declared. \
As the housewives" of the city,
the refuse collectors have the mean
est job of all. cleaning up after
the family" he said. Because il
is a hard job, they need an en-
couraging hand, which this annual
presentation of awards gives them,
he concluded.
Mr.. 5xanten also praised the clubs
action in presenting awards, q prof.
.ect started in 1921. The clubs record
for cooperating with city oficials
in a general city clean-up campaign
dates back to 1904. however, when q
Clean City Committee was organ
lied.
Mrs. Geoffrey Creyke, club presi-
dent, described the annual inspec-
ton tour of the city's refuse plants
and factories which she and three
carloads of civic section members
made last Tuesday. The tour was
under the leadership of Mrs. Ray.
mond A. Powell and was directed by
Mr.. Xanten
Mr.. xanten said he appreciated
the sympathetic attitude of club
members, and added that the gen.
eral public little realizes the results
of careless litter of city streets and
backyardS. IF we had to ship out
what we collect every day, we would
need 165 railroad cars" he said.
The superintendent said the dis
posal space is becoming the depart
ment's largest problem. Wherever
possible, garbage is reduced to-
grease or sold to hog farmers and
metal is sorted from trash fills with
the help of a large electromagnet.
An average of 100000 pounds of
metal is thus extracted each week,
he added.

Wants u. S. Settlers

Australia is looking for a million resi-
dents of the United States willing to
settle in that country. MI. Arthur A.
Caldwell, Australian Minister of I'M
migration, is in New York looking for
recruits. He would like to have the
present population of $500, 900 persons
grow quickly to 10000, 900.
Mr. Caldwell gives two reasons. The
country has the resources, room and
industry to absorb this population ex-
pansion, and needs the increase in order
to portect itself in case of another wal
in the Pacific.
So anxious is Australia to get ahead
that the government is offering former
service men or women $40 toward
travel expenses, and more for Ameri-
a veterans for transporting their
wives and dependent children.
Australia's bid is much more allur-
ing than that of oGr own government
for settlers along the Alaskan highway
which vas discussed in these columns
a few days ago.

sky's warning to the United States.
Writing in "Plain Talk, after Russia
had come under complete control OF
the Reds, Kerensky said: To-day com
munists everywhere are trying to seize
power by posing as defenders of dem
ocracy,' organizing their blows against
liberty under the banners of liberty ="
The Russian people, he continued,
cannot be blamed for falling into the
bolshevik trap. "for the world had no
experience with modern totalitarian
techniques. But there is no such excuse
for the millions of workers, farmers
and ~intellectuals in the democratic
West who are offered the bait today"
Having been in the little cabinet Of
the first bolsheviks, Kerensky knew the
detectives of communism. 1t is not yet
too late tc heed his warning.

Above Marshall Plan Plain

The qualifications of the inter-Ameri-
can conference just opened in Rio de
Janeiro r too broad to envision at the
start. There is I've any telling where
such meetings may lead or what their
agendas may be expanded to include.
But there is one project we may ex-
pect Secretary of State Marshall to
throttle promptly, if it should be ad-
vanced by any delegate. He is conf
IDENTIFY expected to notify the assem-
blage, if occasion arises, that the SO
called Marshall plan will not extend to
any Latin-American country.
The reason is obvious. Latin
America as a whole is far better situat-
ed to provide for it's economic needs
than any country swept by World Wa
II. None of the Latin-American coun-
tries face a major reconstruction or re
!labilitation program, as do the Jesse
European countries. Certainly they

Going Up

Rep. Jesse P. Wolcott of Michigan,
chairman of the House Banking Com
mittee, is so sure a general decline in
price levels is just around the corner
that he vigorously opposed reinstate-
ment of prive controls. There are three
factors in the economic equation which
he must have overlooked when he
Preached this conclusion.
In the first place $1,800,O00, 900 will
be released into general circulation on
lSeptember 2, when terminal leave bonds
may be cashed. Not all of these bonds
will be turned in, of course, but it is
la safe bet that the majority of them
will be, and the money thus placed in
private hands inevitably will exert a
definite pressure on prices.
Secondly, controls over instalfment
buying, which will disappear On Novem-
Der 1, obviously will serve as a stimulant
to credit buying which, during the last
year, reached a total of close to>$11,-
900, 000, 900.
Thirdly, when the Marshall plan
comes into being, United States exports
will mount and the volume is liable to
be so great that, demand exceeding
supply, the general price level will 90
even higher.
If these three factors exert the eff
feet upon prices the economists expect,
initiation will reach the runaway stage,
and the depression which Russia is
counting on to give her the upper hand
in world affairs will arrive soon after
ward.
Certainly no American wants a re-
turn to the conditions that prevailed
when the OPA was running wild, but
it seems that some form of regulation
is necessary if this tragic situation is
to be avoided. But the regulation. to
be equitable, must be jointly establish
ed by business and government, not by
government alone, as during the way
when business and the people were at

have no such problems as have Britain,
France and Germany.
Instead of benefiting by United
States aid they can more properly
help Europe and, as needs be, Asia.
Mr.. Marshall has taken the sound
view of the situation, we believe.
On the other hand, if mutual de-
tense should progress from academic
discussion to actual fact at any time,
the Latin-American countries will find
the United States ready to do it's full
part with money, arms and whatever
materials might be needed.
