the ha bits and customs and mode Oh
life of people. But in this case the
proDosition is TO effect not so much
change as a reversion. It is not TO trans
form the Jews from what they have al
ways been. but to restore them TO what
they originally and long We're and 10 the
state from which they were changed. not
through their own volition. bur through
such compulsion as is not paraiieied
elsewhere in the history of human op-
pression. It has taken centuries OF force
to make the Jews what they are to-day
Perhaps 1t will not take nearly so long
To return them TO their earlier and better
estate.
For there are at least three potent rea-
sons TO impel the Jews back 10 lhe
land" One is that of tradition ana re-
gard for ancient precedent and divine
direction. more influential with fhem
perhaps than with any other people Oh

let rs realize fully that we are deciding
on monopoly az Il policy and do 1t ad-
visedly. Furthermore. ii practically COM
mits the city supplying all the funds
for future subway building. 1t has never
been committed TO that before. The
managers of the present subway have
held out the hope of subway building
with private capital, and so have others
but this contract calls for the operation
of additions built by the city. If an ex-
tension is wanted. the Interborough will
be in position to say that the CONTRACT
calls for the city's building it. and the
requirement that any extension built D!
the city shall be operated will result III
the city being subjected to greater
pressure than ever before from various
sections for rapid transit facilities 10
use d slang phrase. the contract VIII
have the effect Of putting it up to the
city to supply funds for subway build
ing. With competition such as exists
now. we have private capital ready fo
supplv more than half the cost OF SUD
way building.
Then. again. there is another novelty
implied in the contr~ct. The city Is not
committed 70 it, at least not to the eX-
tent that it is 70 monopoly and TO the
use of the city's credit in all future
subway building. but its practical effect
deserves consideration. The city has
never vet taken the position that II
should or would build subways upon the
operation OF which there would be g
deficit. But by contracting to make III
anv deficit on the Fourth avenue line
and on any future extensions ii would
admit the propriety, or at least the pos
sibiiity. of building lines that would moi
pay. Will not that make the pressure
! for such lines harder to resist especl
ally as If will be urced-as If is already
urged in regard TO the Fourth avenue
line-that the city will make up for Its
! losses on the Improbable parts by It's
share of the profits on the paying sec
! tions:
We do not urge these as necessarily
grave objections We merely design IL
this time to say that the step the city IS
now enabled TO take is not so simple rs
at first it seems. but involves variety
! OF important consequences which deserve
most careful consideration.

New-York tribune., 1910-12-07

The annual meeting of the American
Ped Cross at Washington may truly be
said to have marked an epoch IN the
history of that benef1cent institution. II
not indeed in the history of organized
philanthropy in this country. We have
more than once called attention to the
project for securing for the society a
considerable endowment fund. compar-
able with the funds which are at its dis
pnsaI in other countries. and have point
ed out the immense advantages which
il would receive therefrom and the prac-
teal necessity of it If the society is
tc be enabled to attain the highest de
gree of efficiency in its work. 1eSter-
day's reports, we are happy 70 say,
assured the realization of that plan. and
in that achievement. it is peculiarly
pleasant to observe. this city of New
York has taken the leading part. We
called attention not long ago to the fact
that of the proposed fund of S2,000,O00
one-fourth. or SJ00,O00. had been ap
portioned to the metropolis. That sum
has now been fully contributed by public
spirited citizens of this city, and a
splendid chapter has thus been added to
the fine record for generosity which New
York has long enjoyed OF course the
rest of the country will have no diff
Guilty in providing the rest of the en-
dCwment and on the often-realized prin-
ciple that ''to him that hath shall be
given" we shall expect TO see coming
years add largely to the fund, until the
American Red Cross shall be as richly
endowed as the corresponding organiza-
ton in any other country. The achieve
ment is honorable to all concerned. and
reflects special credit upon the officers
and committees to whose judicious plan
ming and untiring labors it is primarily
due.
