The outstanding feature of 1930. :o: We have just been informed that there will be another total eclipse of the sun in forty years, but it is all right with us. We saw an eclipse a long time ago and the astronomers tell us that they all look alike. :o: Ten years ago the Anti-Saloon League said the oncoming generation would rot know what liquor tastes like. And that is Just about right. Most of the stuff nowadays tastes like almost anything but liquor. Bishop Cannon has been freed of charges of market speculation by his follow churchmen. There is no evi dence that the bishop's flier in this line wrecked Wall Street anyway. A father of twenty-four children has been accused of murder. We are not familiar with the details of the case, but his victim may have been a bachelor who was bragging about his happy life. . :o: Maybe one reason King Solomon had so many wives was that he could be sure one of them would stay at home from a bridge party and have his supper ready when he got home from the office. -:o:- A Missouri woman was told that if she would plant onions around her apple trees the apple borers would disappear, but she refused to do it because of the fear that the apples might have a bad flavor. -:o:- Thomas A. Edison is quoted that the United States government is "the most inefficient big business organ ization in operation today." Wheth er this observation was inspired by the new tariff law is not stated. :o: SOUTH AMERICA'S AWAKENING The nations of Central and South America are achieving developments which bring them capacity for self- government is more clearly demon strated year by year and their con stant improvement in domestic and international relationships extend their reputation and influence, while stabilization of their money and banking systems increases their pres tige in international commerce. Only a few years ago the Latin- American republics were considered of no great commercial importance, but now they spend in 12 months more than a billion dollars in the United States and two billions more in Europe and Asia. Today the world is in keen competition for the busi ness of Central and South America. In the not far distant future it will be possible to motor from Canada to Buenos Aires over improved high ways, and to go by air from the Unit ed States to any country south of the Rio Grande. An inevitable result of this inter-communication must be the binding together of the American continents in a close union of friend ship and commerce. Recognizing those facts, it is read ily understood why President Hoover went to South America, and why President Coolidge and the state de partment leaped at the opportunity to send him there as a messenger of good will. Mr. Hoover went south instead of east or west because the United States has more at stake in Latin-America than in Asia or Eu rope. The next president will need all the knowledge of Latin-American affairs he can accumulate, and if he can bring all the American nations into closer understanding and sym pathy he will have materially light ened his own job. - :o: THE UPSWING IS NEAR The monthly business bulletin is sued by the Cleveland Trust Com pany is one of the most sober, annaly- tical business and industrial charts now available; and the current is sue brings the cheering prediction that the return of prosperity cannot be far distant. Pointing out that production has declined more rapidly than consump tion, so that shortages are in the making in many important lines, the bulletin Eays: "The combined forces of under production and of abundant credit at low rates are operating to remedy conditions, and to bring about busi ness recovery, as they always do in times these. Ease of credit facilities, business recovery, and underproduc tion compels it. We have both in com bination, and confidence that they will be effective in the not distant future is fully justified. All the his tory of past periods of slow business indicates that the end of this one is approaching." :o: WOOD THRUSH I know not what I ever did In this lofe or before That God should send a singing thrush To call about my door. Or have long-dead musicians come To sorrow or rejoice? How do I know it is a bird Who only hear a voice? At pale moth-hours of dawn and dusk All flute notes that have ceased. All love songs that have silent grown, Are from that throat released. Hark, where famed Orpheus, love bereft, From Hades realm set free. Touches again his starry lyre And calls "Eurydice!" Edith Willis Linn Forbes in the the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. EVACUATION OP THE RHINELANB After almost years of military occupation, the last French troops have marched out of the Rhineland. and the German colors were hoisted again. This is the evacuation of the third and last occupied zone provided by the treaty of Versailles. It takes place almost four and a half years before the date set in the pact. This advancement of the date is in happy contrast with the evacuation of the first or northern zone in January, 1926, after a year's delay due to the Initerallied Military Control's dis satisfaction with the progress of German disarmament. The second area was abandoned last November, 40 days ahead of time, in return for German financial concessions in France. The early action in the final zone shows the marked acceleration in clearing up the debris of the World War. The long stay of French troops in the Rhineland was no happier than any other military seizure. The scheduled 15-year occupation, count ing from Jan. 10, 1920, when the Versailles pact came into force, was one of the treaty's many compro mises. Clemenceau had held out for the Rhine as a permanent French boundary. Lloyd George viewed pro tracted occupation as "useless, un just, shameful and dangerous." His view was borne out when occupying forces clamped down over a populace of 6,000,000 persons a 6trict press censorship, issued an index of 180 .forbidden books, prohibited certain films, plays and lectures, and for bade display of the German flag and singing of German patriotic songs. Fostering of separtist movements by the French added to the unrest. There were numerous bloody clashes between citizens and troops. Under the Dawes plan, conditions in the Rhineland improved appre ciably. The Rhineland army of oc cupation, which had reached a maxi mum of 150,000 in 1922, was con siderably reduced. With Germany's admittance to the League of Nations, Allied statesmen began to view con tinuance of the occupation as un necessary. The French plea for re maining was to insure reparations collections. When the Young plan took the indemnity problem from the field of politics, immediate aband onment became possible. Just as the evacuation of the Ruhr, in 1925, was followed by the Franco- German commercial treaty, so the present action in the Rhineland may be expected to have similar results making for stabilization. Only the Saar problem remains to disturb the quiet of the western front. Conver sations toward its settlement are now being carried on, and it is likely the region will be returned to Germany without the formality of the plebis cite set for 1935. Popular opinion in the Saar clearly favors Germany, and the French seemingly prefer to settle the matter beforehand, after obtaining what concessions they can. Evacuation of the Rhineland is a great step forward in placing Ger many again on an equal footing among the nations of Europe. It fol lows closely upon return to Germany of control over the Reichsbank and the German railroads, of disband- ment of the Reparations Commission and fixing of indemnities on a Bound basis by the Young plan. With bud getary reform, it is hoped the Reich will be able to meet its payments regularly. Efforts for a solid under standing between France and Ger many now have a good chance of success, and Europe is that much nearer a state of peaceful stability. :o: KEEPING THE RECORD STRAIGHT Not so many years ago the Safe and Sane Fourth of July campaign was carried on by newspapers and child welfare bodies. Its result, with in a few seasons, was to reduce the annual toll of fatal, maiming and blinding accidents due to careless use of powder and fireworks. This Jone in part by legislation, but more through home and school training in safety, and in better ways of ex pressing patriotic spirit. Since this danger to childhood has been in large part removed, it is dis couraging and irritating to read year after year, a long compilation of so called "Fourth of July Fatalities." Canadian papers, on July 5 last year, carried a dispatch from Chicago con taining such a compilation, which the Winnipeg Tribune printed un der an eight-column banner line, "159 Lose Lives in U. S. Celebra tions." On reading the story, it ap peared that 70 deaths were due to automobile accidents, 81 to drown ings, one to heat prostration and only seven to fireworks. Highway accidents and drowning occur on every summer holiday, and the Fourth of July naturally ha? many of these. Safety warnings for such days are always in order, but the fatalities which occur belong in the year's casuality total, and not in special Independence day celebration records. BALANCING PROSPERITY The excellent uses to which the properly timed planning and control of public spending may be put in balancing employment and business trends are indicated in the new re port of the President Committee on Recent Economic Changes. The note struck by the report is a conserva tive one, in realization that while the proper timing of public works reasonably may be expected to re duce the severity of economic fluc tuations, it is only one of many fac tors. Business should be able to look to governmental divisions for aid in smoothing out the hills and val leys of the economic curve but busi ness must look within itself for the main causes and cures. Approximately 900,000 men are employed and $3,500,000,000 expend ed each year in public building pro jects of Federal, state and local gov ernments. These figures, represent ing permanent improvements, and not including maintenance and re pairs, amount to 35 to 40 per cent of the total annual volume of all pri vate and public construction. The percentage gradually has been in creasing. The principal governmen tal spending agencies, however, are still behind in their programs for permanent improvements and the fu ture will see large advances in em ployment of men and money on pub lic works. That a combined acceleration of these huge programs not after depres sion has arrived, but when it is threatened, would do much to check its severity is obvious. The commit tee points out that it is not neces sary or desirable on a large scale to withhold public expenditure in per iods of prosperity. The skillful tim ing in the use of a comparatively small margin of public construction is more important, and offers the real opportunity for stabilizing the economic balance. Programs for pub lic works never have been highly sensitive to business cycles, and in normal times often have had a de pressing rather than a stimulating influence. This tendency can be avoided by deliberate planning of capital expenditures on a nation wide scale. The Federal Government alone can help, and has been help ing, to steady the balance. If the method is to be fully effective state and local governments, informed through a central source of facts and prompt predictions, must accept Joint responsibility. :o: "The rights of Pedestrians" is the subject of an article in a current law revue. Our advice to the citizen is not to be guided by it unless he de sires to figure as the principal fig ure in some funeral rites. :o: Phone your news to the Journal.
