WHAT EUROPE DESIRES UK IS
"The money which American tourists spend In Europe," complains
Miss Edna Ferber. "doe# not go Into the proper channels to aid Europe."
It Miss Ferber's first-hand noting of this situation is to be accepted as
worthy of connection that little other money which goes from the Unittd
States to Europe seems to reach actual need, either. Funds for purchases.
Funds for loans, funds for contributions—how little they seem to affect
economic conditions in the old world! Yet these various expenditures of
America in Europe total billions of dollars—enough to make over the coun
t: ies receiving the *ast sums if «nly business foresight, true wisdom, mark
ed the use of the wealth by the recipients.
"People there do not want ut for ourselves," declares Miss Ferber,
"but only for what they can get out of us."
Here is the secret of America's inability to work good In the old ^orld\
Europe does not want that kind of good to result which the statesmanship
and the philanthropy of the United States might make possible. "All
your nations which continually exhibit their beggars' sores to us make de
mand upon our sympathy. There must be no end to our willingness to
pour gold Into their hands—and no questioning from us as to where the
money goes afterward.
Pleasure, political cunning, war plans—these are the things America is
financing across the sea. No wonder the people will not submit to this
nation's gaze, the results of profiteering from us! Europe dares not nicke
the truth known, so seeks to silence questions by increasedly stentorian
cries for larger gifts.
"If." Miss Ferber concludes, "the grumbling American could be foried
to spend six months in Europe, he would return a happy and loyal citizen."
It is a pity the investment in patriotism and contentment cannot be gener
ally made. This country has much need of such thorough reformation of
its complalners. Its knockers and its un-American political schemers.—Cor
dova Daily Times.
GETTING Ol'T OF EIHOPE
After months of painstaking in
vestigation of European economic
prospects the three biggest life in
surance companies In this country,
the New York Life, the Mutual aud
the Equitable, have determined to
retire from that Held of business.
For many years they ii*ve been ds
velcping the continental field until
ticy have built up a business esti
mated at $1,000,01)0,000 at the stirt
cf the world war. All that is now be
ing turned ever to native concerns
and the American companies will
leave Europe with the exception of
the British Isles. The reasons for
this reversal of policy are the de
preciation of money, excessive taxes,
constantly mounting salaries and
wages, unfavorable legislation, un
fair court decisions, and inability to
forecast what is likely to happen in
the countries of Contentlnental Eu
rope.
Some of ;he best business tnindt
in the country direct the affairs of
those great Insuranse companies, and
their judgment of Old World con
ditions must be accepted as sound.
That is the situation into which
some of our prominent citizens,
more gifted w.'th enthusiasm than
with intelligence, have sought to in
volve the United States. What is
regarded as a menace to the treas
uries of insurance companies would
be even more of a danger to the
L'nited States Treasury. Certain lose
to us in money and men would fol
low such an entanglement, and we
would gain no friendship but pro
voke many jealousies.
HELP FOR THE PROSPECTOR
The mining Industry Is debating
the question. "What ha* become of
the prospector?" Some say that
the engineers and the big companies
are willfully driving htm out of bis
field; others coatend that he has
served his purpose and that chang
ed conditions make it impossible for
the "old-time" prospector to discov
er now mines. However, according
to t .» Engineering and Milling Jour
nal-Tress of New York, an associa
tion known as the International'As-'
sociation for Mineral Development
has recently been organized In Spok
ane. Wash. The purpose of the or
ganization is to promote interest In
the mineral resources of the north
wester! l'nited States and western
Canada and o act as a clearing
house between the prospectors and
mining capital seeking Investments.
Worthy prospects and mines for sale
are to be listed by the association
and provision is made in the by-laws
to employ competent technical ad
vice in assembling authentic data in
detail on all properties proposed (or
sale. The organization may also
grubstake prospectors to develop
I prospects, and to prospect likely
areas, and representatives are ap
pointed in many cities to present
listings of the association. Since its
receut organization over 200 names
have been put on the rolls of the as
sociation.—Juneau Umpire.

Secretary Mellon Unique Man In
Public Life; Is Devoted Mostly
To His Daughter
2' I I *r ( : ■
Washington, OrB, 9.—Ail m o s t1
dally there cun bo seen In Washing
ton, at the close of Government bus
iness for the day, the frail figure of
an old ntan. neftring seventy, emerg
ing from the Treasury Department
and beginning a long trudge, home
ward—twenty long blocks away.
Sometimes the flappers and the
young clerks that volley out of tho
great Government departments at
quitting time almost trample hint
underfoot in their haste to grab
seats in street cars and buses.
If you looked carefully at this frail
old gentleman you would notice that
he was neatly, but certainly not ex
pensively dressed. You would notice
the face somewhat thin and a little
peaked—as of one who has wilted a
bit in the cruicibl<s of the world's
grind. The thought might strike you
that there was a typical cog In the
groat wheel of Government—an
aged and bent clerk who has given
the beat years of his life to an un
appreclative Government.
You would be wrong. The man is
Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of the
Treasury, with one-third of tho
world's wealth In his keeping. He
is worth himself some $200,000,000
or $300,000,000, perhaps $500,000,•
000. He doesn't know exactly how
much he is worth. It probably
I would take a corps cf accountants a
full year to find out for him. Suf
ficient it is to say that statisticians
dlspule about who is the wealthiest
man In the United Stales and coj
sequently in the world—Rockefel
ler or Mellon. < un ;i
He has limousines at his call. Al
so stables of horses. He seldom usas
cither, unless he Is in a great hurry,
which Is seldom. His quiet trudge
homeward after work Is his prin
cipal recreation ■ and his principal
public appeararco.
Andrew W. Mellon Is by long odds
the strajigest Cabinet figure Wash
ington has seen in many years. He is
quiet to the point of being absolute
ly taciturn; he Is shy to the point of
seldom appearing in public. Gold has
no attraction for him; politics he
abhors; cards he never plays; he is
no recontenr-—and he doesn't like
Washington.
What does he do? He works,
trudges homeward In the evening.
[ tends strictly to his own busiuess—
j and escapes from Washington at
[every opportunity. He Is devoted to
his daughter and seldom does a
week-end find them apart.
The Secretary of the Treasury
has few if any intimates in the cap
ital. He goes to Cabinet meetings at
the White House by slipping across

passage from the jnanaioa fo the

are held. He doesn't like newspaper

He takes little part la; political

Periodically there are reports {hat

which has led to several political as

How lnfluenclal Mr. Mellon Is

he should veto a bill passed by a
