In short, unless the ad- ministration insists upon the policy of promptly making sales which in the judgment of the shipping board' are financially sound, this ''whiteele- phant" will be on the hands of the; American people for some years to come. THE AUTOMOBILE, A ROMANCE Four billion dollars is the invest-1 ment Americans make annually in motor cars. However, computed in another way, this investment is even greater. It means fortunes in pleas- ure, recreation, anda richer .life,-to those who use it'properly. The growth of the motor industry is easily one of the romances of American business. Beginning in 1895, when there were perhaps nol more than 300 motor cars in the United States, the industry reached its ascendancy in 1925, when about 21,000,000 cars were licensed; this year, more than likely, even this fig- ure will be eclipsed. The four bil-I lion dollar annual investment has come about with the development of large scale production methods, high powered advertising, and standard- ized parts, which, in turn, have made. fairly low prices the rule rather than the exeepti'on. Mil ions of ,men are mployed in meeting the nation's demand for mo- tor cars, but even greater numbers a're busied in allied trades which make possible an annual motor bill of billions. Just how tremendous this is, is indicated by the fact that 84 per cent of the nation's rubber supply goes to the automobile trade. Eight and a half per cent of the country's steel product, 50 per cent of the plate glass output, and 10 per cent of all the employed labor in the country likewise aid in the making of the American automobile. On the other side of the ledger is tragedy, vice, licentiousness, wrecked lives, and maimed motorists. For some the automobile is responsible; the rest may be charged to human stupidity, to its carelessness and ig- norance. "Members Give N. Y. Chamber Mel- lon Picture"-headline.

In nine days, England virtually set- tled a strike involving 5,000,000 men, as opposed to the 164 day strikeE of 158,000 men in the United States. The English laborers were' ready enough to agree on a program of ar- bitration, the Americans specified that the difficulties "may" be arbi- trated. Perhaps there is good foundation for the assertion that the 'British laboring classes are superior to our own. Surely in this instance they proved themselves more susceptible to good sense and reason. Or perhaps t is that they exercise mnore discre- tion in their choice of leaders. The British laborers have, in nine1 short days, shown their power; the same may be said for the govern-1 ment. The government has given in to the extent of renewing the coal subsidy "for such reas'on'able time as may be 'reqnired." The govern-, ment has also agreed to establish, r+ certain boards of revision and arbi- tration. But the government granted nothing until the workers agreed to resume operations and to trust all disputes to these arbitration boards. The British strike is over. And because they exercised good sense, the workers have really won. Ameri- ca can afford to study this object lesson. T HE Ea " SiTE E FPAN9 T"X* MVES I EDITORIAL COMMENT ( ) ( ) (X) (.)

The list of divas includes some of the most famous and interesting Ladies of the Opera. For instance we have: HOMER, who has been a figure prominent in the American Opera since her debut with the Metropolitan in 1900, and on the continent since her premiere at Vichy, France. She is the wife of Sidney Homer, the maestro, and is certainly one of the greatest contraltos of all time. LENSKA, who is a mezzo and has a range that thrilled at the May Festi- val last season when she played Laura in Poncielli's "La Giaconda." Madame is famous in Wagnerianroles as well as for her Azucena, her Madelon, her Prika and her omindus Otrud which she will do in the Wagner "Lohen- grin." AUSTRAL, an Australian-British dramatic soprano, who has made a reputation for herself without the aid of a fortune spent in publicity, like Talley, or a press agent like Frankie La Forge. She will play Elsa to Crook's Lohengrin. LAVA"L, who is a contralto, an oratlo sinaer and who will do the Mendelssohn. Elijah" with Theodore Harrison, brtone, and finally SUNDELIUN, who is another Swed- ish nightingale, a second Jenny Lind, a Christine Nilsson, or what you will, but in any event is one of the most interesting characters in modern opera. Her Marguerite set New York by its ears, and as Micala in "Car- men" and Inez in "L'Africana" she swept the critics into panegyrics by the beauty of her voice, her poise and her vivid performance.

Particularly is the outlook dark for the Haugen bill, which calls for an initial appropriation of $375,000,- 000. That would at once mean a Treasury deficit, with new taxes or else new borrowings. In addition, the operation of the Haugen bill would be directly to increase the cost of living. This was frankly admitted, in an- swer to a question, by Representative i-Haugen himself. ,A deficit, higher taxes and a rise in the prices of food form a combination which scarcely can be called attractive from the point of view of the majority of the people. The proposed legislation is con- fessedly in the interest of a class. It is, to be sure, a class which feels that it has been discriminated against by existing law. The farmers, or their spokesmen in Congress, assert that they suffer under the protective tariff. Its benefits are distributed to favored interests. The farmers say that it is time the lawmakers handed to them their share of benefits. These they cannot get through protective duties on imports, and so they are demand- ing them in the form of special legis- lation. It would, seem that if they do not obtain this according to their desire, they would be bound to turn and rend the high tariff. Some of them, in fact, threaten to do this and to make their fight on political grounds rather than on economic. So far as Congress is concerned, the effort to "do something for the farm- ers" is almost purely political. This is the main reason why the Senate protests that it cannot adjourn before the middle of June. Even Senatars who acknowledge that no farm legis-1 lation can be enacted at this session, especially if the House remains in its present mood, announce that they in- G BTHEAHA S 00TE SOR I AT BOTH.

The campus Sunday looked like 1915 instead of 1926. * * * It seems they caught the gentle- man who was breaking up all the spooning at Ferry field. Some other car happened to be passing, and phoned the police, who apparently caught the boy just as he was about to lie down for a few hours rest. It just goes to prove that no crooked work is as easy as it sounds. * * * NOTICE There was surprisingly little cam- paigning around the polls. No bribes. were in evidence and no guns or other weapons were used to argue students into voting for the right can- didate. The only methods used were to have four to ten men approach each voter and pester him into voting for their candidate. A near riot was caused when a freshman sat upon the library steps to read a letter from home, which was mistaken by campaigners for a ballot, and was nearly killed by the rush of GRU Panamas and Straws Cleaned :-id Blocked with all i .'trimmings.

' a: i- Through its various committees and the publicity given to their findings, the Senate has brought to light many conditions which are harmful to democratic government. However, in the present investigation of the proposed dale of five government-, owned ships to the Robert Dollar in- I terests, the commerce committee of that august body seems to have shown too much inquisitiveness. The ship- ping board,' which is authorized to, dispose of this vast fleet constructed during the war at any price "consis- tent with good business methods," has proceeded with all reasonable caution.
