Gorgus. he remaining problem for the utili zation of this wealth, he says, has to do with its fair distribution after it has been produced. "We have successfully combatted every tropical disease," he says, "and have shown that the man from the temperate zone can live and work near the equator with a fair degree of comfort and entire safety, if he follows reasonable precautions. "Our success is certain to turn at tention to the tremendous agricul tural possibilities of certain regions that have heretofore had scanty de velopment, owing to the white man's fear of climatic diseases.

"While modern sanitation can solve the question of labor for the development of the tropics, I doubt if such enterprise would be worth while under prevailing systems of land ownership. The worker and the consumer would benefit little, if any, by abundant production. The land owner would get the lion's share. "Low wages in themselves create problems of sanitation. Feudal con ditions of land tenure in the tropics are quite as responsible for disease as is the climate. If I were to pre scribe the best sanitary measure for any locality, I would say to double wages. , A tax on land values big enough to prevent land speculation and stop individual? and corpora tions from getting rich out of ground rents, is the best means that I can suggest to increase the worker's share." peace sentiment of each belligerent country, and it results are satisfac tory "the king will send two Span ish statesmen to each warring capi tal to formulate peace plans. l'esuo Willi Victory.
