To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir Every American citizen is filled with
horror and righteous indignation as he reads
the report of TIE Bryce comms>ion on Ger

This coming from such a reliable source.
confirms most fully the worst that has been
said, and. following so closely upon the Lust

This report and the recent terrible Lusi-
tania disaster have set Germany back 1000
years in barbarism and she cannot longer
be cassed among civilized nations of the
twentieth century
The civilized nations of the world should
combine IN supporting the Allies and crush
out forever the Kaiser and his militarism.
Let US all pray that this many soon be &C

The British Censorship.

Some amusing stories about the censorship
are contained in an article OF THE Pres
Bureau" in the 1915 edition OF "Seu's World
Press" one tells how the representative Co. "a
leading English news agency was hauled over
the Goals IN respect Of the message "Olycr
Goldstone Brothcrstone. Aboukir." which. Il
vas pointed out, Was clear case Of attempt
,ng TO send cipher dispatch. The Office o.

Questions.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Is the United States expected to pro-
tect her citizens, who in the face Of warnings
and examples deliberately take passage on an
English vessel?
Then, IS it patriotic for American citizens
under the existing conditions to take passage
on English vessels, thus cndangering the
peace Of this country!
Was it not morally wrong under tho exist
ing conditions for the Cunard company 10
carry passengers on a vessel laden with con
raband?
Vas & not base md cowardly for England
20 allow neutral passengers 20 sail or the
.amc vessel with this contraband withou,
giving any protection TO the vessel or pas
.clsers2
T. the answer to my first question he Yes
then would not half a dozen Americans pas
sonecrs be the cheapest and surest insur-
auce on English vessels carrying contrabard?
Can Il bc that another IS ruler OF tho
seas." and because of the development Of tho
submarine in German hands this formidable
weapon has made it unsafe for England to
patrol her coasts and defend her commerce
and innocent neu;rals?
And. if this last is correct. is it within the
bounds of reason 20 suppose tnat Germany is
Going to wait until this war is over to use
her weapon TO advantage?
Would England, France or the United
States do so under the existing circum-
stances?
The editors Of this country do not make the
international laws, and while they are broken
with !mpunity by every nation as circum-
.tarccs make it to the advantage Of the ma
ton TO break them, 1t behoovcs editors 70
take pattern after our President; and when
tho world knows hoT Germany CONSTITUTES
these laws it seems to me England Is partner
to dastaTdly act when She allows passen-
cor. osncciallv neutrals. 10 take pas sage with

ITALY'S POLICY
Cold Blooded and Selfish. Accord
ing to This Estimate.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In spite Of TIE sympathy OF the writer
with the Allies. one hnds 1t impossible TO
enthuse very much over The entering, orr
probable entering, of Italy into the war on
the Allies side; and in spite Of the hope that
Italy's assistance may shorten this terrible
conflict one still is inclined 10 wish that
Italy might remain neutral. This feeling IS
due to the apparent lack Of justification for
a declaration Of war by Italy upon Austria.
70 a large part Of the world. certainly 20
majority Of Americans. ltay's policy has
been a cold blooded and selfish policy, with
the added quality Of cowardice ami treachery
in declaring war upon her former ally a.
time when Austria, however much 10 blame
she may be-, is fighting for her life. | be-
lieve that my feeling about this matter fairly
represents the sentiment Of thc people Of tho
United States. regardless Of other issues IN
connection with the war. II would also
seem. 900. that Germany should take iu'o
account the tremendous difference, etnicsl.y.
between the American and TIE Italian spirit;
and that Germany should realize, notwlth-
standing our MISUNDERSTANDING on questions
Of international law. and despite the awful
tragedy of the Lusitania, that It is our dis
position and desire 20 play the game" with
perfect fairness Is it too late for President

Self-Control Needed.


70 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: r. seems to me that at the moment.
when eve,ything is so tense and critical, and
We have such need OF sct-control, and when
our President needs all the help that we can
possibly give him. It is the height OF
Jolly for our American citizens to delibcr-
ately take passage on boats Of the Allies that
carry conjfabaud. Why Will they thus en-
barras5 our government and court disaster
when there are American ships on which they
might sail? Last fall Mrs. Page, the wife OF
our ambassador. changed her passage from
IN English TO an American ship, that she
might spac our country any possible COM
rlicatlons. Why will not our people be more
prudent and considerate?

Bringing the Americas Together.

President Wilson struck the right note
Yesterday in his speech at tie opening of
the Pan-American Financial Conference.
After deploring the lack Of adequate
means of communication between the two
Americas. he said: Il am perfectly clear
in my judgment that if private capital
cannot soon enter upon the adventure Of
establishing these physical means Of com
munication the government must under
take to DO So
That is the only attitude an intelligent
and broad-minded American can take in
view of the impulses to closer trade rela-
lions now stirring both continents-im-
pulses which have made the first Pan
American Financial Conference possible
We must have better facilities OF inter
course with our Southern friends, and it
is the part Of craftsmanship to see that
these facilities are provided.
The Democratic party fought govern

found It's shipments Of cotton to Europe

Governor Whtman's defence Oh MS
financial policy, so far as the City Of New
York is concerned. rests on this dcclara-
ton:
feel that the ciuzcn7 Of my own wunici-
palitv should clear their minds OF the lm-
preston which seems 90 prevail that their
share of state expenses means n complete
loss 70 themselves. and realize that the eN-
rerdture of state APPROXIMATIONS Is re-
,urned 20 them practically 20 the extent OF
their share in their payment
That statement is as inaccurate as the
Governors other statement that che
maintenance Of the canal is Of benefit al
most exclusively to the cities Of New York
and Buffalo
New York City, obviously, benefits TO
some extent from whatever benefits the
state at large. New York City does not
benefit from the construction, at state ex-
pense, of a brick street through a village
upstate. New York City does not benefit
from the removal of stumps, at state eX-
pense, from an upstate river not com
merce carrier. New York City does not
bticlO-OI bclltllto NNlS iNi'i'lNiS "'ii
county fair subsidies and the maintenance
of state agricultural schools. OF such items
the appropriation bills for years are full.
If the taxpayers Of the metropolis get
back what they pay toward certain state
expenditures, they assuredly pay in more
than half the taxes for huge totals Of oX-
penditures from which they do not benefit.
New York City is unjustly taxed by the
Legislature, just as under the present con-
stitution it is unfairly Disseminated
against in legislative representation. The
two evils 90 hand in hand. All the Gov
errors arguments to show what the city
does get back will not soften the fact that
it will have, in its next budget. to make
provision for about $4,000, GOO Of the $19,-
100000 direct tax. What proportion Of
that the state government gives back
to the city will not remotely make up
for The -toppagc Of benevolent beneficial
local activities which its payment will
render necessary. None of the Governors
arguments will minimize the practical
confscation Of city property for the bene
fit of upstaters.
