FOREIGN OPPOSITION. It is reported that foreign transportation owners arc planning some sort of counter-action to the proposal contained in the Jones-Greene snj subsidy bill which would insure the carriage by American vessels of 50 per cent of the immigration to this country. Just what this will be is not known but one suggestion is that American flag ships operated by an American company as a subsidiary of the established line will solve their difficulty. Intense interest is being ehown by these foreign lines in the president's message on the merchant marine and the ship bill which was introduced sono after the message was delivered, and on "which hearings, have already commenced. Extensive extracts of the message have been cabled abroad and there is a great demand on the other side for copies of the bill. It would not be surprising if an effort were staged by foreign ccmpcteing lines to kill the measure, and already, it is said, certain influences are being brought to bear in that direction. Mr. Gompers who is British born, recently went on record as condemning the measure. His report on the bill declares that the naval reserve section "provides for a body of men who are to be used in case of strikes or lockouts." However, there is not a line in the bill which, by the most strained construction, could fairly be interpreted in that manner. It is expected that the ship subsidy bill will be reported late in April, or very early in May and it would seerxj that the measure has a very good chance of success. If passed, it will be the realization of one of President Harding's greatest ambitions that of putting the American flag back on tie seas to stay.

TRADE BALANCE FADING.

Those Democratic leaders who recently asserted that the Republican party has no commission to revise the tariff will find a complete answer in the recently issued report of the bureau

of foreign and domestic commerce for th eight

months ended February 28. That report shows

that our monthly balance of trade has dropped

'from an average of $155,000,000 a month in 1921

to $34,000,000, and is so rapidly diminishing in volume that it will soon be wiped out entirely ,unles3 the protective tarff shall impose some

things of a check on imports.

The Republican platform adopted in 1920 discusse the tariff question in the following

language : "The uncertainty and unsettled condition of international balances, the: abnormal and economic trade situation of the world, and the impossibility of forecasting accurately event the near future, preclude the formulation of a definite program to meet conditions a year hence. But the Republican party reaffirms its belief in the protective' principle "and pledges itself to a revision of the tariff as soon as conditions shall make it necessary for the preservation of the home market for American labor, agriculture and industry."

It is readily apparent that conditions now make it necessary to revise the tariff and place upon the statute books an import tax fixed in

accordance with Republican principles. It is not at all impossible that by the time the tariff bill can be completed, enacted, and put into operation, our favorable monthly balance of trade may be wiped out entirely. This is not probable, but the rapidity with which some foreign nations are increasing their shipments to cs brings it within the range of possibility. In any event, the time will not be long, if tariff legislation be delayed, until we shall be buying more abroad than we shall be selling. It will not be surprising if some of those Democrats who have recently condemned the Republicans for propose tariff legislation will .be "as vehemently condemning the party for delay in putting that legislation on the statute books.

VICTORY FOR THE TURKS. Announcement of plans favored by the allied foreign ministers for establishing peace in the Near East will still further depress peoples keenly disappointed by the failure of the victorious powers to fulfill promises made while differences between the principal allies would be accomplished through modification of the treaty of Sevres In fashion to favor the Turk at the expense of the leaser allies. The proposed compromises which would -concede much to the Ottoman tfovernment are designed estensfoly to remove the danger of an immediate break between France and Great

uriiaui, out tfiey ieave unneaiea, even aggravate, the sore of Greece. And it may be safely predicted that the successful issue of Turkish resistance to the terms of the Sevres Treaty will make the Ottomans even less desirable neighbore than they have been. In the meantime the

Greeks' cannot be expected to 6ubmit calmly to tao decree that robs them of the fruits of their

victory and restores to the Turk territory once

awarded to them as a matter of justice, it having been theirs in ancient times. Great Biritain, France and Italy are terrorized by unrest throughout the Mohammedan world. The concessions to Turkey are dictated by fears that unless Islam is conciliated they will have a holy war on their hands. The situation is, indeed, serious. But the course proposed to purchase peace with Moslem fanatics appears certain to have an opposite effect to the one desired. Some degree of. compromise with Turkey may have been unavoidable, but the scheme devised in Paris goes little short of handing that country complete victory.

THE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. Ninety-nine in every 100 people would declare the impossiblity of finding three little children serving long sentences in a federal penitentiary. The average American would say, with some vehemence backing up his word3. that it could not happen in this country. The interposition of Mrs. Harding, first lady of the land and wife of a well-known American, in behalf of three boys, aged 7, 8 and 11 years, is proof to the contrary that it is possible to find children mixed in with criminals in penal institutions.

Probably it had been thought also that

there are no "desperadoes" in the infant divis

ion. The case of the same three children rises

to contradict this impression, for these boys were convicted as part of a gang of desperadoes that robbed a postoffice in West Virginia. They are serving five years, but through the efforts of Mrs. Harding will be pardoned.

THREE-MILE LIMIT AND BOOZE. A spiritual descendant of the late Col. Mulberry Sellers recently evolved a wonderful scheme, "with millions in it," for relieving the alcoholic thirst of the metropolis, or at least of those inhabitants who have plenty of spare coin. It is the anchoring of a huge vessel outside the "three-mile limit" and the maintaining of a regular luxurious ferry service between the floating

oasis and Manhattan. The ship would be stocked

with beverages that both cheer and inebriate when taken in sufficient quantity. The promoter announced that since there could be no possible legal obstacle to the success of his plan, he would be ready for customers just as soon as the

necessary funds were forthcoming for the pur chase of the big boat and the stock in trade.

The jaunty assumption of non-interference

by the law was just being questioned by the au

thorities at Washington when an incident occur

red that made it more than an academic matter.

A British booze boat, the Grace and Ruby, was seized by United States coast guards while operating four miles off shore. Now we are to have an elucidation of the whole question of the marine limit of governmental authority. There

are many points to be settled. Some experts on

international law say the commander of a vessel

who stays outside the traditional limit, but em

ploys small boats to break the law by entering the restricted zone, is just as guilty as if he brought his ship within a mile of shore. There

are precedents which apparently uphold this

view. It is said that Russians once seized

British ship six miles from their coast, which

was engaged in illegal sealng through the use of

small boats that approached nearer land- and ther action was sustained in the courts. The three-mile limit of territorial jurisdiction was established at a time when that was the range of gunnery. A nation was supposed to exercist control over the extent of sea that it was able to defend from the shore. According to this principle the limit might be extended to twenty or thirty miles. The New York promoter of the stationary booze ship may have to make arrangements to transport his customers farther than he had originally planned. But the question of chief concern to the authorities just now is curbing the activities of the rum runners of the Grace and Ruby type. How far out into the sea can the United States government extend its jurisdiction? Determination of this question will have an mportant" bearing on the enforcement of the prihibition law.

GEDDES ON "BEST MINDS.'' British Ambassador Geddes has a definition of the "best minds" that seems to differ from those that responded to Mr. Harding's call to Marion. He has been telling the University of California that "the vast majority of men in public life in mental capacity and knowledge are far behind the best minds. The best mind and the best thought are represented by the highly specialized university professor. That knowledge is not present n' our governments today." Yet it is not so long since it was and the world knows the result. In fact one of the strongest appeals made for Mr. Harding was that he made no pretention to highly specialized knowledge; that he was just the opposite, a plain, matter of fact citizen anxious to represent the average American. But perhaps Ambassador Geddes has a bias for the professional mind. Was he not formerly occupant of various chairs and finally principal of McGill University?
