person may get drink on another's card.

drink on a borrowed license. Any bar
tender selling drinks without seeing the
card will be subjected TO extreme Ien-

Jail if a drink is obtained by any person
lacking card. No drink must be sold to
any person showing signs of intoxication.
ANY person arrested for drunkenness or
treated by a physician for that condition

Our Humiliating Position.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In this mornings Tribune there was a
letter signed Benjamin Apthorp Gould which
discussed the present humiliating position
occupied by the American people. This is the
finest and most manly letter have ever read
in a newspaper. The only opinion expressed
which | critcise in any way IS where he states
that if, in his opinion, the American people
were not nobler than the administration he
would seek self-respect under an alien flag.
In my opinion. as long as the American peo-
pie consent to be held in their present hu-
initiating position by one moral coward they
are no nobler than he is; and if they consent
10 remain in this position until the end of
the war. or year from March, when the
President will be changed, any American will
be justified in seeking self-respect under an
ellen flag, as by so doing he will be proving
his desire for self-respect. A. +. CORTlS.

pered severity. This was an austere DIR.
Wilson who would have justice done al
though the heavens fell. Quite another Mr..
Wilson confronts a different group OF men
engaged in attempts TO destroy business and
property and to take human lives by meth
DDS that are unqualfedly Infamous. Toward
this avowedly awless body Mr.. Wilson has
shown a temperatures and self-contlnence
that are remarkable. With the exception OF
the recall of an oyerzealous ambassador
and few deprecatory admonitions, TO break
IS discernible in the undisturbed serenity OF
the White House.
There was the Mr.. Wilson who had the
interests of American shipping close to heart
who did not hesitate to plead personally
for a measure whose economic nonsense and
wholly undesirable character had been barred
by expert opinions. A very different Mr.. VIII
son brought himself TO sign another bill
which promises to sweep the American flag
from the seas with rather more complete
ness than could be done by all commits
stoned submarines acting in concert.
Then we have the Mr., Wilson who pro-
nounced the national defence idea matter
Of merely academic interest mt for ami
able people TO play with. Another Mr.. wilson
becomes it's champion and takes 1t so seri-
ously that for the first time he commits MS
advocacy to writing. That it has obviously
grown in popularity might lead 70 an unfat.
.ering distinction between the Mr.. Wilson OF
Yesterday and the Mr.. Wilson OF to-day.
Finally we have the ethical Mr.. wilson 70
whom it was given TO see visions and dream
dreams. who held that fidelity 20 the plighted
word outweighed all material profit or per-
sonal ambition. He invited us-by exhorta-
ton, perhaps, rather than by example-to
mount 20 a higher moral plane, even though
some should starve in the ascent. A2d there
is the practical Mr.. Wilson, who appears TO
be engaged in seeking denomination, with
an almost humorous disregard of certain
plank in the platform on which ne stood
when he asked for the votes OF the Amerl-
can people.
The practical deduction would appear to
be that vote for Mr.. Wilson could have
no assurance of attaining its desired end IN
the event Of his succeeding himself, because
the votes might easily become confused amid
the shifting lights and shades upon wnlch
have touched. HOWARD COuhlbD'

Panama Bonds and the Pay-as- You
Go Policy.

The pay-as-you-go argument made by
President Wilson in his Preparedness
message contains glaring non-sequ't'r.
The President is anxious, apparently, to
make the taxpayers of the country feel
the full weight Of the cost Of military
preparation, trusting to find in reluct-
ance to pay some justification for his own
attempts to limit the scope of preparation.
He therefore opposes either the authori-
cation of new bonds to meet the cost Of
real military reorganization or the sale Of
bonds already authorized for the purpose
of repaying the Treasury the money
which it has advanced out of the General
Fund for Panama Canal construction
To excuse this refusal to collect a debt
owed TO the Treasury, and through it to
the present generation of taxpayers, Mr..
Wilson made this argument:
Borrowing money is short-sighted finance.
II can be justified only when permanent
things are to be accomplished, which many
generations will certainly benefit by and
which il is hardly fair that a single genera
tion should pay for. The objects we are now
proposing TO spend money for cannot be so
classified. except in the sense that everything
wisely dore may be said TO be done in the
interest of posterity as we'll as in our own.
This line of reasoning absolutely defeats
itself. Whatever may be thought of mill
tary preparation at this time as an in
vestment for the benefit of future genera
tons, no one can deny that the Panama
Canal is such an investment. Congress
never intended that the taxpayers of a
single decade should pay the greater part
of the cost of the Panama waterway. The
canal act provided for the issue OF bondS
to the amount of $375,O0O,0O0. Proceeds
from the sale Of bonds SO far have
amounted to S134,63l $50, and there is
still due to the Treasury for cash advances
1921. 531, 7l9. Moreover, the Treasury has
spent on the canal S30,000,000 not REIN
bursable from bond issues, and if the ad'
ministration has its way S25,OO0,OOO more
not reimbursable from bond sales, will be
paid TO the Republic Of Colombia in salts
faction of claims arising out OF the ac'
auisition Of the Canal Zone.
1t would be gross injustice TO leave the
vast sum of S25l 600, 900, possibly 1916
900 900, saddled on the present generation
while presenting TO succeeding generations
a canal with bonded debt Of only $780,
O0O. 900, able to pay its way and, with
proper management, TO return operating
dividends.
The principle which Mr.. Wilson cites OF
balancing the obligations of the genera.
tons which are TO benefit from perma-
nent public work applies fully to the cana
debt. The Treasury should be reimbursed
through bond sales up TO $4,000, 600
the amount fixed by Congress. That sum
represents a part Of the surplus taxation
of the last decade. 1t is cash put aside
apd IL may be legitimately employed now
b the government to meet expenditures

for military preparedness. Ii we spend 1t
we should not be borrowing from the fut-
ure. We should be applying strictly the
pay-as-you-go programme which Mr.. Will
son favors, and this generation would be
enabled thereby to avoid an unfair double
taxation-frst for the canal and then Tor
Il better army and navy.
What the President said does not JUS
tify refusal to indemnify the Treasury
for canal advances. On the contrary, 1t
makes such an naturalization matter
both of equity and expedency.

Not All Hyphenates.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Does it not seem somewhat hysterical
to speak Of 100000 Germans in this coun.
try, as one of your correspondents did?
Is it not equally hysterical to speak OF all
the Germans in tbs country as hyphenates
On most OF the Germans of my own &C
quaintance there is not the sign Of hyphen
Some OF them are professed republicans
and came to this country because of that
faith.
The press reports have it that many Ge--
mans are preparing to return TO Germany
after the war Perhaps they are. But I'D
like to bet that they don't.
