The Cross of Gold.

There is an impulse everywhere, and a
very natural one, to rejoice over the
fabulous size Of Uncle Sans trade bal
ance. 1t arises from the common mistake
of considering the nation in the light Of
an individual. A man whose income so
far exceeds his expenditures as to permit
him to put half of it in the bank is con-
sdered a wise and fortunate person in
deed. But is the nation able to do so in
as happy q POSITION? The author Of the
July letter of the National City Bank
thinks not, and his reasoning accords with
the very best economic thought. A very
dismal science" economics!
In normal times, when the currents Of
foreign trade are flowing freely, 1t is i'm
possible for any nation to sell abroad so
much more than it buys abroad, so much
more az the United States has done in the
last fiscal year. A favorable balance Of
trade Of small proportions invites imports
Of gold which raise prices, which in turn
invite imports Of commodities to over
come the balance A nation cannot say
with the individual: az will continue to
sell and not buy" for the simple reason
that the individuals who make up a ma
ton act independently of It and of each
other and will invariably buy abroad
when things become too dear at home.
But the war has set everything at skies
and sevens in the economic world. Europe
is organized for war, not for commerce.
We can buy precious little from her the
while we are impelled to sell to her in
ever increasing quantities at ever increas-
ing prices computed over long term
foodstufrs, clothing, weapons, ammuni-
ton, supplies of all sorts. And not
only do the fighting nations on the other
side find it next to impossible to spare US
the goods to white down the balance, but
they find it almost as difficult 10 send us
gold in payment.
1t happens, however, that in spite of
ubiquitous submarines and other OBJ
staclcs the United States has imported
S31 100000 more gold in the last fiscal
year than it has exported. Thanks to a
long period Of retrenchment, it had an ex-
cellent supply of the metal before the war
started. Even greater retrenchment
since the first of last August has added
to the fund, and the change to the Fed
eral Reserve Banking system has released
some S3OO,OOO,OOO more for general pur-
poses. In short, as Sir George Paish

Italy's "Treachery."
Washington, June 80, 1915.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: AS a reader of your valued paper l
note letter from B. Viola, and while have
to congratulate your courtesy in having given
room to my letter in your issue Of June 7, l
will be very much obliged II you can afford
space also to this letter, in reply to that of
b. Viola.
Mr. Viola, after arguing at length exactly
the same propaganda as that Of the Kaiser,
Francis Joseph, Won Jagow, Reventlow.
Bueow, Dernburg, Berchtold, Burian, Tisza,
Giolitti Bryan and others, goes on TO say:
"But to satisfy Italy's unrighteous wishes in
this unfortunate situation Austria-Hungary
was willing in her trouble to give con-
cessions And, after the final concessions.
the Italian Ambassador at Vienna handed
the IMPERIAL government declaration OF
war"
From Mr.. Viola's views it would seem that
he thinks that II Italy had fully considered
the concessions spoken Of (even assuming
that said confessional pledges would not meet
the same fate as that promissory note 10
Serbia. the treaty of Belgium neutrality in
ternational treaties, etc. the Italian people
could rest the remainder Of their lives with
out feeling remorse that they had profted,
accepted and drank the very blood Of the
women, children and babies who persisted by
the treachery and savagery perpetrated by
the Hungarians, Austrians, Germans and
Turks wherever they had set foot on foreign
soil. In addition to these cold-blooded bar
barites, they have also looted, pillaged, ran
sacked and chased out Of their homes all
the peasants and starved them out in the
cold. Where would the Serbian, Belgian and
Polish peasants be to-day if no clothing and
food from America had reached them, while
even this is being taken away by the tiger
to feed its own mouth?
To quote an old Italian saying: "a mad
man and drunkard always understand each
other" Common sense can see that Italys
perfdy and treachery are due to this, that
she has not as yet reached the stage Of
either But how treacherous it is that Italy
or any one else to-day does not agree with
the plans OF the wolf and the leopard

Irish Emigration Extenuated

To the Editor of The Tribune.
SIR Replying to Mr.. Armstrong; question
as to why Irishmen do not lately seem anx-
ious to aid the Allies and to volunteer with
enthusiasm, it is very simple, though remark
able in such an indomitable race. In the
meantime Mr. Armstrong should ask why
don't the war authorities send into action the
Irish Carsonites the already enrolled Ulster
ties of Ireland These are Irishmen, If Eng
land is short of men. All counties of Ireland
have already sent a generous quota to aid
the Allies. Ireland is equal to England in
men already sent Why reserve the Carson
ties? Send these as well as the Royal Union
men into the struggle. England has no right
to expect volunteers 20 go into the thick Of
the battle till she shows no Partially. This
is one reason, but .ot the greatest reason.
To understand the great reason, be it
known: The Carsonites have always blocked
self-government and a united Ireland They
blocked it even unto acts Of treason. For
centuries this has been the aim and dream
Of -self-government. They worked
for it and suffered for it, Like America, they
would govern themselves, but still Loyalty in
union with the United Kingdom, since in
union is strength. They had almost
succeeded when the war broke out. Let Mr..
Armstrong ask why if England is sincere in
her protesting willingness to grant self
government to Ireland, why does she propose
traitor and q rebel TO her government as
Governor General of Ireland; and when he
is rejected, why does she propose this mans
chief lieutenant instead? And then have the
gall 10 ask Ireland to send volunteer. II
she needs men let her send the rebe nd
traitor Carsontes into the thick Of the hat
tie But maybe England fears that they may
also turn traitor in the fight, since treachery
and rebellion are in their makeup. Wall,
prove them. And then ask for Irish volun-
teers. JUSTITIA HIBERNIA

Curtail School Vacations.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: From the point Of view Of the parents,
the proposal to curtail the school vacations
will be welcomed as most important With
the beginning of July we have an army Of
100000 children flung suddenly upon the
streets of New York and left for ten or eleven
weeks with their superabundant energy
wholly without aim or direction. 1t is true
that the schools offer some optional recrea-
tional facilities during the summer, but for
the most part the children remain on the
streets, a prey TO every mischief that unre-
strcted idleness suggests.
IT, as has been demonstrated time and
again. such a condition Of idleness Is de-
moralizing in the case of adult, It is
doubly so for yOungster still in his fo "a
tive years. Doubtless there should be some
let-up in the child's application 70 study
during the hot weather, but there Is no
reason why bis playing activities should not
be developed into helpful activities, and this
surely is the function of the schools.
1t has been pointed out that the boy who
smashes a street lamp or helps raid a fruit
stand is an embryo gangster. Mischievous-
ness of this character fourishes in summer
because the juvenile has nothing better to do.
II is an easy transition from this sort Of
thing to the habits of the petty criminal.
BY all means let the schools supervise the
activities of the children during the summer
months. REUBEN J. WITTSTEIN.

Arbitration for the Garment Makers.

1t was highly unfortunate that the pro-
tocol. or peace agreement, between the
garment makers and their workmen, which
existed for five years, was broken. That
having been done, it would be still more
unfortunate if the offer of mediation In
the present trouble between them made by
the committee headed by Mr.. Schiff should
be rejected.
No worse time for a strike could be
imagined. The $4,000 employees in the
unions involved could doubtless do wide
spread harm to the employers-night, con-
ceivably, ruin some of them. But this
could not be accomplished without untold
suffering and misery brought on the union
members by lack Of employment-unem-
ployment at q time when the city Is flll
of men, women and children hunting jobs
and public and private resources are
strained almost to breaking point in relief
work. Under the circumstances, can either
party consider strike worth while?
Memories Of the bitterness, the hard
ships and the misery Of 1910 cannot yet
have grown dim. Out of that great strike
came the now discarded protocol, q peace
agreement Of indefinite duration. That
agreement was not precisely what either
side wanted, but it produced betterment
for both. For the employers there was
assurance Of stability in business condi-
tons. For the workers there came about
better, healthier working conditions and
better hours and wages. For both there
was assured the opportunity to discuss
differences and to arbitrate them under
circumstances tending to produce concilia-
ton and agreement rather than defiance
and discord.
After experiencing the benefits Of five
years of protocol operation-and neither
EMPLOYERS nor workers will deny that it
had its advantages-theys surely ought to
agree with Mr.. Schiff's committee that it
is impossible to believe matters have come
to such a pass that serious strife and its
distressing consequences are the only way
out"
Whatever differences there are between
the unions and the employers on details Of
wages, hours and the like, and whatever
bitterness there may be over union tactics
and leadership, the contestants are not
very far apart on the question Of arbitra-
ton instead Of fight. 1t is to be hoped
they will have the good sense to make
mutual concessions enough to put strike
out Of the question.
No strike ever brought either party to it
victory on all of the demands which figured
in the original ultimatum. Both parties to
the present trouble have been in enough
strikes TO have learned this lesson thor
oughly. If they try again to disprove its
truth they will only incur loss of money
and bring suffering on themselves and
hardship on the community. A little give
Iand-take now will be better and easier than
the same concessions yielded after great
damage in a strike.

Will War Divide the church,

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: One result of the great war is likely
to be a schism in the Roman Catholic Church,
new separation of West from East, with its
head in the United States.
The Austrian and German Catholics, in
ruthless pursuit of their political schemes,
have for many years diverted in their direc-
ton all the powers of the Church, and in the
process have sacrificed the welfare of their
in Belgium, France, England
and Italy.
The idea Of a new all-powerful Roman
Catholic empire co-extensive with that un-
der Charlemagne, or even greater, under
Austro- German domination, with Won Fur
stenberg as a Chsrlemagne redivivus, in
volyed the downfall OF the Hohenzollern and
Hapsburg dynasties, the subsection and ulti-
mate reconverson of Prussia and Hanover,
the destruction of Professionalism and Social
ism and ultimate control as the one great
world power.
A large order, but possible with vast
mlitarism and a preliminary political cam
paign. with the object of setting Protestants
and Socialists at the pleasant task OF killing
each other off. Hence Furstenberg, forever
at the Kaser's elbow, squirting on counter
ambition to self-destruction.

Why a Watch Goes Wrong.

from The Dundee AdVerttser)
People who wonder why their watches oc-
casionally exhibit vagaries may be interested
in the paper which J. ]. Shaw, who assisted
the late Professor Milne in his seismographic
work, has communicated to the Royal As
Economical Society Tests have shown that
n watch which normally varies only to the
extent Of second day may gain or lose a
quarter Of minute IN the twenty-four hours
If it is hung up on a stand or a bedpost The
angle at which It hangs is also a factor.
Mr. Shaw also suggested that the well known
fact Of a watch keeping bad time when worn
by some one else than the owner is not due
to bodily temperature or animal magnetism,
as is generally believed, but to the different
rhythm of motion. 1t is a fascinating sub
ject, which seems to deserve further scien-
tifc inquiry.

A Matter Of Conscience.
From The Manohester Guardlan)


War Is applying its searching test of char
acter to every one who is in the firing line
and many men have discovered that the
greatest surprises Of la whole business
were in themselves and their own conduct
A very curious instance Ct this was told me
by an officer in a Scottish regiment who was
home on leave Ho as & serious and brill
liant student who had no idea Of soldering
till the war began. His story was something
like this: 1t was at the time of the big
show at Ypres, in October, when the Prus-
sian Guards almost broke through our lines.
When at last they were brought up and be-
gan to retreat my friend was IN the counter
charge. lie found his revolver empty and
snatched up a rife with bayonet and rushed
on with his men. Re remembered clearly
charging a big Pruss,an, who put up his
hands. The Scotsman swerved, but as he
passed he saw with the corner of his eye
one Of the Prussian's hands coming down
to his pocket, so he swung around and ran
him through, and then rushed on. AS he
ran he found himself thinking that he had
done wrong; perhaps the man meant moth
ing. perhaps his hand was hit by a bullet
there might be scores Of explanations. He
described the thought running round and
round in his head, 81 shouldn't have done
that; shouldn't have done that. 1t was a
sin" And all this time he was killing other
Prussians, and fighting all he knew. He was
very unhappy. When the charge pulled up
he could not do anything but go back and
search for the big Prussian and end his tor
ment of mind. He found him at last with
his hand in his pocket, in which was the re-
volver Then he felt at peace and his Scots
con science was silenced.

has remarked, New York and the country

And moro seems bound TO come by hook

from South Africa-by whatever route 1t
may escape the Kaiser's submarines.
This hoard Of gold is menace. II used

age misrepresentation, put our whole eco
nomic fabric on a fictitious basis, with no
other support than the continuation OF
the war. II We could buy back our for
eign held securities with it, well and good
But foreign investors don't want TO part
with them. The next best scheme is TO
lend it abroad And just now there ap-
pears to be maturing an opportunity OF
the sort. Negotiations are on foot 70
float here a British bond issue Of from
500 100000 to $3OO,OOO,OOO mot subject
to the British income taxi, to run from
three to ten years and TO pay interest at
5 per cent. The establishment of some
big credit like this seems as urgent for
Uncle Sam in the embarrassment Of his
indigestible riches as for Great Britain,
with exchange running ruinously against
her.
OF course such an issue will not dispose
Of the problem. AS the war continues
many more of the same size will be need
ed safely to employ our accommodating
credit and to keep exchange within
bounds. The National City Banks letter
mentions a billion as the amount we
might conveniently lend tomorrow. And
in advising such a loan (secured, prefer
ably, by a deposit of "Americans') the
writer has in mind that not improbable
day Of reckoning when, with the war
over and the natural laws again in play,
with prices and wages on fictitious
basis, the best country In the world to sell
in and the poorest to sell from, with pro
ductive capacity over-developed and the
export business gone" the sudden reac-
ton could not fail to be intensely painful
to the business world.
Uncle Sam is in very truth In some
danger of crucifxion upon a cross Of gold.
