New York. Aug. 24.-The federal
inquiry into the higher cost OF food

developed that the increases were un-
warranted. according To Roger q.

An Extravagant and Risky Venture

There are serious objections TO the passage by
Congress Of an act giving the United States gov
eminent S25OOOOOO with which to go into the deep
sea transportation business. In the first place,
ship owners selling 10 the government will expect
excessive prices for the ships offered Nobody ever
sells to the government at fair price if he can
help it. After the emergency is over the admins
tration will find it impossible 70 get rid of its pur
chases except at 30 to - per cent discount
The present blockade in shipping has been
brought on in part by the eXorbtant demands Of
ship owners According to the Washington dis
patches Of "The Evening Post" the American Red
Cross has been unable charter relief ship to 20
to Europe under the absolute protection Of the Red
Cross flag All charter prices are prohibitive.
Although the war is only three weeks old the
seas are already practically cleared again for traf

marines can join the neutral marines in offering
freight service Their competition and the open
ing Of our foreign trade 10 ships registered under
other flags ought to relieve the congestion here ma
terialy.
As for violations Of the regulations Of traffic laid
down bv the belligerents, it would be much easier
TO deal with them dpomatically if the government
is not itself the ship owner. Belligerents have tn,

Phckina the Naval Plucking Board.

The preposterous decision of the naval piucAlu-
board in the case of Captain John II. Gibbons Is
shown in its true light by the report of the House
Committee on Naval Affairs. The board hau
ample opportunity before the committee to support
the retirement of Captain Gibbons with some ap-
proach TO reason and the record 1t did nothing oil
the kind. for the simple reason, apparently, Tat
there was nothing whatever in the record to ac-
count for its findings The absurd criticisms Of
fered that Captain Gibbons had seen insufficient
sea duty and had mot contributed to the progress
Of the navy" are effectualy disposed Of by the
committee report
The first duty of Congress Is to restore Captain
Gibbons to the active list Its next duty will he
to replace the pluckng boar by some institution
at least capable Of logical thought and not wholly
devoid Of a sense Of justice.

LESS TALK AND MORE WORK
Duties Of Americans in Present Situs-
ton Are Outlined.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: After reading hundreds Of the
editorials and letters from the people,
hitting both sides of the present war.
Is it not about time that we conine our
attentions q little more to our own
country and make our own business
go?
All Americans are more or less Of
foreign descent, many German or Eng
lish, and naturally take the side Of
their ancestors A great majority Of
these Americans never have been m
Europe, and 20 ore having lived and
done business i'm Europe for several
years the average talk is joke.
Let us all mind our own business
and make new business for ourselves
out of the loss Of our foreign cousins,
for such they are. Instead of crying
because we cannot get material from
Europe, surely we should not be un-
patriotic enough 10 lie down. Rather,
we should get very busy and invent,
with our great American ingenuity,
means for putting the United States
of America in a way 20 be entirely in
dependent Do such crises as the pres

FRANCE AND IMMORTALITY
More Of the Latter To Be Found in
Berlin than in Paris.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Any unprecedented person can
see that The Tribune is trying hard 10
maintain an attitude of justice to all
nations involved in the war. Doubt
less that was the reason for printing
the asiniue communication signed
Harrington i'm to-day's issue, IN
which France was attacked because Of
the Moulin Rouge. racy French come
dies. and indecent feminine attire.
Any one who knows anything of con-
oitions in European capitals is aware
that night life in Berlin has long been
more dissOlute than Partisan night life;
that Germans no less than Frenchmen
write racy plays; that the Moulin
Rouge is a music hall no more indecent
than the New York Winter Garden,
and that no woman who does not wish
10 dress indecently is obliged TO do 80
iu order TO be fashionable. As for
calling France "the harlot of nations"
such q statement can be made only by
o. person ignorant of France. 1t is no
more fair to Judge France by Paris
than TO Judge this country by New
York. The French people are not hypo-
critics or self-deceivers as many Ameri-
cans are; their franhness is often mis-
taken by stupid Anglo-SaXons for i'm
morality. IL is, however, fact that
the French as a race are not immoral,
and that they possess many humble
virtues which are notably lacking
among us. For one thing they are not
spendthrifts. j. S.
