OUR SEVEN VOTES.
Raymond B. Fosdick, whose pub
lished title is “Ex-Under-Secretary
General of the League of Nations,”
recently delivered an address at
Montclair, N. J., in favor of the
league. Mr. Fosdick said, in reply
to a question as to the basis for
according the British empire six
votes in the assembly of the league
as compared with one for the Unit
ed States: “As far as the six votes
to one go, there isn’t much to worry
about from that source. As a mat
ter of fact, we control seven votes
to England’s six, for we have Hayti,
Nicaragua, Liberia, Cuba, Panama,
and Guatemala. How do we control
these votes, you ask? We’ve got
our marines there."
If that was intended as a serious
answer to the inquiry, comments
The National Republican, it consti
tutes an interesting commentary up-'
on the sincerity of those who talk {
about the League of Nations as a!
means of controlling international >
relationships. According to Mr. Fos- J
dick, we are in command of the!
situation in six “republics” of this |
hemisphere by force of arms. It is j
rather interesting to note that it !
has remained for the present na-j
tional administration, with all the
big talk about eliminating force as'
a method of regulating internation
al relations, to use so freely the
garrison method of enforcing Am
erican interests in six of the neigh
boring nations of this hemisphere.
This very’ situation, indeed, as well
as that in Mexico, seems to sho.vj
that probably no other > method'
would be effective in the case of!
this and other “republics” where |
force alone is the basis of govern-1
ment, and seems to be the only sort;
of government the population un- j
derstands.
But under the reorganization of
world affairs contemplated by the
League of Nations, would great
powers be permitted longer to main
tain garrisons abroad to compel
weaker nations to perform their ob
ligations? Unless this would be
permissible, what becomes of Mr.
Fosdick’s argument that we would
control the votes of the Latin-Amer
ican republics? Those who under
stand their attitude toward the Unit
ed States, as compared with that
maintained in the minds of their
people toward certain European
powers, cannot believe that the ar
gument of the union of this hemi
sphere in the councils of the League
of Nations is sincerely offered. The
trutjh is, despite the fact that we
have been the protectors of the sov
ereignty of the Western republics
against European invasion, that they
would be arrayed against us. This
is because of resentment even of
friendly interference ■ in their af
fairs, as the Monroe Doctrine is as
sumed to be. The same feeling
would become world-wide in case we
should become the world’s Meddle
some Mattie as an active member
of the League of Nations under the
merging of sovereignty contemplat
ed in the covenant as brought from
Paris. There is no surer method of
arousing international antagonism
and conflict than for nations to
cease to mind their own business.
OIL SITUATION.
The United States Shipping board
has been letting out a howl in
Washington because of its inability
to get bids on more than 1,500,000
barrels out of 24,000,000 barrels cf
fuel oil needed for the year begin
ning April 1 next, says the Balti
more Sun. Oil trade men say the
Government is largely to blame for
not taking a stronger stand with re
gard to Mexico’s recent interference
with American oil-drilling operations
in that country. It was pointed
out that had American companies
not been stopped in their drilling
a few months ago, new production
would have been available in suffi
cient volume to meet the current
market demands for fuel oil. While
temporary permits were given the
American companies a month ago
to drill new wells, it will require
several months, it is stated, to get
new production on to the market.
Meanwhile fuel oil prices have risen
in striking fashion.
BUSINESS FLYING.
About one hundred business men
scattered throughout the United
States more or less regularly fly
in airplanes between their homes in
the country, at the mountains or
the shore to their city offices, ac
cording to an estimate of the Manu
facturers Aircraft association. The
number of itinerant aerial “taxi
drivers” who carry passengers on
short but remunerative flights is
placed at some 300.
“There is a steadily increasing
demand for aircraft of the com
mercial type,” says a report made
to the association, “but, contrary
to some published reports, the de
mand does not equal the supply.
Factories now in operation in the
United States could construct ten
times the number of aircraft which
optimists estimate would be required
^this year.”
A trip throughout the country
taken by representatives of the as
sociation revealed some interesting
uses to which aircraft are being put.
“In Seattle, during the tourist sea
son,” the investigators reported, “a
'passenger airplane makes daily runs
over and around Mount Rainier, fly
ing at 20,000 feet, some 5,000 feet
above the mountain.
“At the Santa Barbara seaside re
sort a flying boat is in daily oper
ation over the channel, two of its
(most interesting passengers during
Jthe early part of this year having
i been the king and queen of Bel
'gium. Regular flights are being
| conducted over Southern California
with a baby blimp.
“There is considerable agitation
for an extension of the aerial forest
patrol of California, which has been
instrumental in protecting life and
property from fire loss. The Cali
fornia Rice Growers’ association,
which last year established a service
patterned after the forest patrol
over 16,000 acres of rice lands, has
enlarged this service to guard dou
ble that acreage.
“Two flying boats are being used

Editor News—Sir: Will you kind
ly state through the columns of
your valued paper what conditions
| the Shamrock IV and other yachts
coming from the British side have
to comply with? Do they have to
sail over here or are they towed
over. Some of the boys here are
betting and would like to know the
conditions, also the length of the
race. A SUBSCRIBER.
The race, as you probably have
observed, is over a course thirty
j miles in length, for some of the
| heats triangular and for some fif
teen miles to windward and back.
I
jThe News is unable to answer the
] other question, but is under the im
jpression that the challenging yacht
!must cross the ocean unassisted,
j Perhaps some reader of The News,
! who knows positively, will be kind
j enough to furnish the desired in
j formation.—Ed.
