TELLSMEETING
Federal Trade Commissiorcr
at Coffeemen's Meeting,
Says, However, Public
Must Be Protected.
Atlantic City, N, J., Nov. 14. Or
ganization of groups of men for
mutual benefit are proptr and to be
encouraged up to the point where
inch organizations interfere with
the general welfare and public in
terests, William B. Colver of the
federal trade commission told the
National Coffee Roasters' associa
tion neeting; here today.
"Individual liberty is only to be
enjoyed up to the point where it en
croaches upon the liberty of others,"
the speaker said. "All rights yield to
the one dominant right that of the
general welfare."
Labor was encouraged to organize
by trades and crafts in the common
interests of the wage earner. As in
the case of organized capital, there
can be no objection to the mee size
of such combinations, unless the
general welfare, the public interest,
is threatened." , ,
Pointing out that dung the war
each citizen stood ready to con
tribute h;s all to the common cause,
Mr. Colver deprecated the present
day drift toward civil war between
employeri and employes. "Organ
ized labor; organized capital; organ
ized farmers; organized landlords;
organized tenants; organized every
thing an? everybody can and will be
useful in our national life so long as
they function in and for the public
interest. ' Organized selfishness?
Never! the speaker declared.
Mr. Colver concluded with an at
tack on .he business methods of the
"'big five" meat packers.vwarning his
audiences that there were indica
tions that some of the Chicago
packers intended to include the cof
fee business in the long list of their
subsidiary activities in the near fu
ture. Cold Weather Forces Big
Plane to Descend to Ground
New York, Nov. 14. The Hand-ley-Page
airplane, hich started Fri
day from Mineola n what was in
tended to be a nonstop flight to
Chicago, descended at Mount Jew
ett, Pa., in the afternoon, according
to a message received by Dr. Miller
R? Hutchinson. Intense cold in the,
upper levels of the air forced the
landing, the telegram said.
PUBLIC CONTROL
OF TIMBER LANDS
IS ADVOCATED
Such Regulation Necessary for
Paper anu Pulp Industry
Report to National Con
vention Declares.
New York, Nov. 4. Public
ownership of timber lands, national
or state with private cutting and
marketing was advocated by the
Paper and Pulp association com
mittee on forest conservation in a
report submitted to the association
conference here today. Such own
ership was said to be essential for
the growing of the older and larger
sizes of timber, its production-being
too long and hazardous an under
taking with too little earnings to
attract private capital in adequate
amounts.
In line with this opiftion, speedy
adoption and,-execution of national
and state forest policies, co-ordinated
and co-operative, was urged.
Forest survey of land classification
as first steps .were declared neces
sary. Public purchase of cutover lands
by the nation and the states should
be enlarged and extended to all
parts of the country, the report
said. It also advocated" more vig
orous and general extension of fire
prevention co-operation between
the nation "arid the states, state
adoption of uniformly fair forest
taxation laws, establishment of for
est nurseries and the preparation of
torest working plans.
A very large program of forest
planting on denuded lands which
show little promise of new natural
crops was urged as a needed depar
ture, which has not been undertaken
seriously in the United States,
The best obtainable estimates, ac
cording to the report, indicate an
ongmai iorest area in tne unnea
States of 850,000,000 acres. Based
on the same figures, the present
area is but 550,000,000 acres. Of this
200,000,000 acres are pracically
merchantable timber, 250.000,000
acres have been partly cut and
burned over with fair natural re
production, and 100,000,000 acres are
cut and burned so badly that exten
sive planting will be needed to re
store it to anything like a produc
tive basis.
Every housewife should be an ex
pert purchasing agent. She should
merchant knows how to sell. She
will if she reads Bee advertising.

DISAGREE OVER
DISPOSITION OF
EAST GALICIA
French CriticsDeclare Ques
tion Typifies Future Action
of Proposed League of
Nations; ,
By KENNETH LA TOUR.
fnlversnl Service Staff Correspondent,
Special Oble Dtopatch.
Paris, Nov. 14. The peace con
ference now is devoting much of
its time and effort to the question
of Poland's eastern and southeast
ern frontier.
The ''problem of what to do with
eastern Galicia remains unsolver.
The present status of the country
approximates that or a Polish pro
tectorate provisionally administered
under the "authority of the "big
five."
Contrary to the general impres
sion, no official promise has been
made that this territory will revert
to Poland if a plebescite so decides.
The fact is that no plebescite has
ever been agreed upon. While the
members of the peace conference
admit . that more that one-half of
the Galician population s related
by blood to the Polish nation, they
look for trouble in the event that
Poland takes over the country
without obtaining Russia's consent.
British opinion favors jl continu
ance of the present status for five
years and a plebescite thereafter.
The American delegates oppose this
view, fearing it will lead to trouble
with Russia wheir that country re
covers political stability. They
propose, instead, to give Poland
the mandate over Galicia until such
time as the league of nations is
able to settle the question between
Russia and Poland.
The Galician question 5s typical
of the multifarious problems still
confronting the peace conference, a
year after the armistice was signed.
State Prods Board
To Fit 46 Schools ,
With Fire Escapes
Members of the Board of Educa
tion are preparing plans for the in
stallation of fire escapes on 46
school buildings, this work having
been deferred an account of the
scarcity of steel during the period
of the war. It is estimated that the
work will cost $100,000.
E. E. Hayduck, state fire inspecr
tor, has brought the matter to the
attention of the board again in an
emphatic manner, referring to an act
of the state legislature on this sub
ject. The matter will be considered
in a formal manner at the regeular
meeting of the school board Mon
day night.
Mrs. Lloyd George
Upholds Lady Astor
Plymouth," England, Nov. 14.
Mrs. Lloyd George, wife of the pre
mier, spoke at two meetings here
Friday in the interest of Lady As
tor's candidacy for parliament.
One of the meetings addressed by
Mrs. Lloyd George is characterized
as having developed the worst at
tempt by hecklers to silence speak
ers in the whole campaign. Mrs.
Lloyd George, when she obtained a
hearing, warmly endorsed 'the can
didacy of Lady Astor, first, she said
because having a few women in
parliament nowadays was most ad
visable; and, second, because she
was convinced that nobody Vould
discharge such duties more thor
oughly than Lady Astor.
The Honorable Mrs. Alfred Lyt
telton, speaking at the same meet
ing, declared that she ventured to
say. the American senators might
alter their antagonism to the league
of nations when they saw an Amer
ican woman sitting in the British
parliament.
A. C. Smith Appeals to
Harvard Graduates
To Help University
Educational institutions of Amer
ica are in danger unless college en
dowments thrive, says A. C. Smith,
chairman of the Harvard Endow
menj committee for Nebraska, and
president of the M. E. Smith Whole
sale Dry Goods company. Mr.
Smith is a graduate of Harvard in
the class of 1887.
"The burden has been assumed,"
said Mr. Smith. "It, must not be
dropped until the goal is reached.
Failure to meet that goal is too
great a danger. It means failure for
Harvard which has not failed in
three- centuries. It means failure for
American institutions and educa
tion. Education is the light which
must illuminate the darkness into
which the supporters of all these
'isms' would throw us. We must
win. America's oldest university
must not succumb." '
