Why is its possession important to us? H. J.

Yap, Uap or Guap is one of the six or seven hundred tiny Pacific Ocean islands known as the Carolines, which Spain sold to Germany in 1899. It lies in latitude 9 tg. 25' Ion. 138 deg. 1' E.

Roughly speaking, it is about half the size of Philadelphia, and was, until the war, the seat of the German administrator of the Western Carolines. The Treaty of Versailles turned over the overseas possessions of Germany to the five principal allied and associated nations; and, as this particular island is one of the bases and centres of cable and radio comnrunication in the Pacific, the United States is naturally desirous that it should be internationalized rather than that it should be placed under the control of any one nation even as a mandate.

Not much doubt is felt as to the response which these inquiries will elicit. That it will be of an affirmative character, that most if not all the governments approached wil0signify their readiness, or even their eagerness, to engage in the discussion to which they are to be invited, is with a good deal of confidence expected, and in that case appropriate diplomatic negotiations will forthwith be instituted by the Department of State at Washington for the purpose of arriving at some international agreement on this momentous matter.

Whether a unanimity of sentiment must be reached before the Administration at Washington will feel justified in proceeding further, does not clearly appear. It naturally attaches a particular interest and importance to the attitude in the premises which Great Britain and Japan shall assume, but it is said to incline to the opinion that its object can only be attained in a definitive and entirely satisfactory way through the co-operation of all the nations with which it is intending to communicate. This is a readily intelligible view with which it is easy to sympathize. it is in a great degree desirable that the whole civilized world should be included in the contemplated compact, and there is no apparent reason for supposing that this result will not be realized. It is obvious, hew-ever, that its attainment will involve considerable delay, and it is a question whether the advantage to be gained from unanimity will be a sufficient compensation for the loss of time by which its attainment must be attended.

There is in every country a pressing need and an urgent demand for a reduction in the excessive expenditures which the war has engendered, and for a lightening in the intolerable burden of taxation of which those expenditures are inevitably the occasion. Even the United States, with its incomparable resources, is suffering from the strain which these disbursements entail and the prevailing depression, by which millions have been temporarily deprived of their means of livelihood, is in large part attributable to the unprecedented absorption by the Federal tax collectors of capital which ought, and under normal conditions would, be invested in reproductive and employment-giving enterprises. Too much, far too much, of the national income is being appropriated by the United States Government and is being spent for purposes, which, however- legitimate and even praiseworthy, are not of a kind to promote the general prosperity. Let it be recalled that Congress is preparing to appropriate we're afraid of taking a nose dive. "Nature Lovers" on the Rampage This is the time of year when protests against wanton vandalism in the countryside are loudest.

There is ample justification for them. Many who call themselves lovers of nature have no real respect for natural beauty. They deface the most charming spots. Who can number the crimes of careless picnickers, who tie-file with rubbish the woodlands that have sheltered them? Who can relate the full tale of the destroyers of blossoming shrubs and wild flowers? One sees such lovers of nature in every direction laden with the spoil of their barbarian forays. It may be that city parks suffer mctet because ox the vast multitudes that visit them.

Yet they are protected by laws and officers of the law. The measure of this protection is much more adequate in some cities than in others. The complaints about the defacement of Central Park which come from New York could hardly be repeated in Philadelphia. Here the main trouble is not with the pilferers of flowers, but with the distributors of scraps of paper, peanut shells, banana skins and other recklessly discarded impedimenta. But the country roads are unprotected, and "No Tres Nowadays it seems a dress is some terday tables gay with flowers and in wide circles around the tables, comfortable wicker chairs.

Thi? engineers have been cautioned not to talk about their plans until they have duly reported them to the commission. It is highly important they should not, because of speculative conditions anj the possible juggling of property interests. New Y'ork has just had something of a sensation on that line in connection with the tunnel commission, and it should be avoided here.

The engineers have gone so far 'as to say that if they get approval of the plans, they can complete the bridge by th time the Sesqui-Centennial opens in 1926. This would be a wonderful achievement for Philadelphia. There is some talk that the new commissioners may vote to overthrow a job schedule for employees which was tentatively approved at the last session, but has to be indorsed all over again because the last meeting lacked a quorum.

Severe Punishment for Income Tax Dodgers There will be little sympathy for the two junk dealers who have been sentenced to a year in the Federal penitentiary for conspiracy to cheat the Government of income and excess profits taxes. The incident proves that you cannot trifle with your Uncle Samuel with impunity. There is a great deal of loose talk concerning the ways in which taxes may be the number of those who ttempt that sort of thing represent only a small port of the total, arid it! is a sat-isf action, to know that most of them are caught. In the present instance the defendants made a fortune during the war, and instead of cheerfully; rendering to the Government that which was due they paid a few hundred dollars when they owed tens of thousands. This is not the first' case of this kind by any manner of means, and the fact that similar, convictions have been made in other cities indicates the intention of the Government make tax-dodging a dangerous The mrrA significant part of these convictions is that they have so often been followed by prison sentences.

No more effective could be devised for compelling a strict observano if the law. The principle of the income tax has be'ci. pretty generally accepted by the people, but the same cannot be said for the burden-seme and- faulty excess profits tax. Yet while these laws are on the statute hooks they should be impartially enforced, and in order to do this successfully it is necessary to impose a severe penalty for attempted evasion. To permit merely the payment of fine would encourage tax-dodging.

Hence when there is clear and positive proof of fraudulent intent it is proper and just to impose the jail sentence. It serves a double purpose. It punishes the offender and it is a warning to others not to try and cheat the United States Government. victorious, and had become the threatening advance of the Greek armies in the direction of Angora.
