Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police in Spokane a

" EFFICIENCY AT THE TOP
, i Mussolini, ' according to Edsel Ford, who has been in
Italy, and seen his workmanship, is a great success. Fas
cism, he finds, is as efficient as Fordism.
And that would be all licht if a nation .were a factory.
3ut" the highly efficient young Mr. Ford, along with many
Wither "practical" observer, happens to overlook the fact
'that a nation is made up of human beings, not machines.
People are blood, not iron; and sooner or later, when the
temporary stiffening wrought by a Mussolini is withdrawn,
Wood will have its way. : . :.--
I ; The Caesare were efficient, and the best of them ran
fhe poman empire like clockwork, and then left it a wreck.
Napoleon was efficient, and left , France so incapable of
effective1 political action that it took niore than half n cen
jtury after Waterloo to establish a genuine representative
povemnient. Diaz of Mexico was efficient, and after him
:ame a 'deluge from which Mexico is but now emerging,
.lovHy' and painfully, German autocracy under the llulien
olleins'was efficient, and look at Germimy now.
' Autocracy gives a false appearance of strength, like a
family ' regulated by a competent and dictatorial father,
making, decisions for all the rest. When such a tather
;tps out of the picture, what happens to the children, nev
rr trained to act for themselves?
.Democracy often seems incompetent, in companT'But
t is only in democracy that the people gain, experience,
wise and confidence which o.uilify them to function po
itically' and carry on the nation, no matter what happens
ht the top.
; ','! ' '' THE BRITISH IN PANAMA
A British company several weeks ago announced that
t had a large grant of land in Panama for mining purposes,
which it" proposed to develop with the aid of American
capital." Lately there has been talk of that land being used
'or growing rubber, and one obsei-ver has called it "the
west rubber land in the world." Some Americans regard
hat as- a new outrage of the "foreign rubber monopoly."
pthers see in British control of the area a military menace
to the United States, because it is adjacent to the Panama
(anal.
Gold .or rubber, it probably mutters not a great deal,
specially if American capital is admitted and doesn't got
j'Jost Gold is not particularly needed, but what is got in
janama'may do no harm. Rubber is needed. If the Brit
ish are going to start raising rubber in Panama, they are
jetting -Americans a mighty good example,
tj' We needn't envy our British brethren any little profit
,ftey may make there. We have the canal, worth infinitely
riore than anything they're likely to get out of Panama.
;V As for military peril from private British enterprise in
Panama, including a lease on a Pacific harbor, not many
tof us will lie awake worrying about that, with Britain at
'me. with America on disarmament and with Anglo-American
cooperation the cardinal principle of British foreign
Jolicy. "
J If the Monroe Doctrine is' really flouted in this deal,
must be taken seriously. But so far there seems to be
io cause for excitement.
