Despite war losses, the world's merchant tonnage Is larger now than at any other time in history, tne report said, the total tonnage being 50,919.000 gross compared with 49.(189,000 in 1914. The present average efficiency of the .world's merchant tonnage, however. Is below that of 1914. "because of Inherent reasons In construction and for ex- - traneous reasons such as port congestion, labor troubles and management." - Net gain in steam tonnage for the world was placed at 2.500,000 gross tons, while that of the United States jwas 7,600,000 gross tons. Merchant tonnage now under construction, is - more than double the prewar output. .Steel steam , tonnage for the United States at the close of the past fiscal year was over 6.000,000 gross-Uons, four times greater than 1914 and is Increasing at the rate of 350,000 tons monthly. - "The annual output of our shipyards," the report said, "exceed the greatest annual output of the world's Shipyards before 1914.

' The need for a unified commercial organization to help promote the nation's commerce was urged in the report It was pointed out that while tinder the law it was the duty of the 'Department of Commerce to "foster, .promote and develop the foreign and domestic commerce" of the country, half a dozen government agencies performed functions of vital necessity to 'this commerce. The department, it Was argued, should have representatives in these agencies so that the whole work could be coordinated, v The secretary also said that lack of funds necessary to retain competent, men was handicapping the department la promoting foreign trade. Additional appropriations were asked for various bureaus. Declaring that the commercial attacho service had' amply proved its value, tfte report said the kind ot men who were useful for this work could obtaiv larger salaries in the employ of companies engaged In the export business.

Mrs. Mildred Harris Chaplin,

When Mrs: Elisabeth Fnllerton recently rave birth to triolets in s Los Angeles county institution, Mildred Hams Chaplin, wife of the famous movie comedian, and herself a screen star, offered to adopt one of the triplets, take him into her palatial home, and rive him a first class education.

Freedom Lies Outside Law, Says Bernard Show (G. Bernard Shaw In the Irish Statesman) 1 The question whether a man Is free or not turns, not on the number ot laws, positive or negative, which he has to obey, but on his sphere ot action outside these laws. It he may not do' anything except what the law expressly authorizes or enjoins, then he is a slave, no matter how generous the code may be. If he may do everything except what the law expressy forbids him to do, he Is free no matter how Draconian the code may be. His residual rights, not his legal obligations or disabilities, are the test. The children who have to run to their parents for leave when they want to do anything are not free. "Mother, may we go outr "What do you want to go out for?" "Only to see the lord lieutenant, mother." "Certainly not Stay at home and learn your lessons." "Well, may Tim and Con go out mother?" "What do they want to go out , for?" "To throw stones at the police barrack, mother." "They may, darling; and you may go with tbem" "Oh, thank you, dear mother. , Come on, Tim. Con, don't forget your catapult" That is a slave dialogue. The free child ' goes out without asking leave, and cheers Lord French or throws stones at the police barrack jUBt as it pleases. Usually it does both. If the definition ot freedom is now quite clear, it will be seen that it is easier to enslave a nation politically than to enslave am Individual personally. It is virtually impossible to prevent a living person from doing anything without a permit; even the child and the henpecked husband of whom the neighbors say that they hardly dare to breathe and cannot call their souls their own, could not survive if they never acted without orders. But it is quite easy to enslave a egislative body, and through it the nation for which it legislates.
