pronosal To accent i, is to abandon the

proposal. To accept il is to abandon the
last pretence of defending internationa'
law or championing the rights OF neutrais'
If he accepts il. Mr.. Wilson simply taxes
from the German Government n perms-
sion for Americans to live on the high seas
and an assertion that Germany does not
cherish any murderous designs upon
Americans and regrets their deaths. when
thew perish as result Of her illegal acts.
The whole question Of international law
and neutral rights goes by the board. We
asked for justice and we are to get spe-
cial favor.
The Tribune does not believe that the
reople of this country will permanently
accent any such bargain. Ii does not be
leve that they will accept at the hards of
the murderers of the women and children
of the Lusitania permission to enjoy
rights which have been established by i'll
ternational agreements and. until Germany
adopted her submarine policy, were ques-
toned by no one.
The Tribune does not believe that the
people of this country will forgive or FOR
get a dishonoring agreement such as the
Germans have now proposed II does not
believe that the nation will permanently
endure the disgrace which such an ar
rangement will bring. and it believes that
if Mr.. Wilson closes his diplomatic discus
sion with Germany by such an ignomn-
jous surrender he will but open the new
discussion with the American people which
will make the Lusitania bargain the man
issue of the coming election.
1t is an intolerable thing that Germany
should be permitted to murder Americans
TO pursue the policy of murder as long as
it was profitable and then. as an act OF
grace. desist from the practice Of assassi-
nation but refuse TO disavow the crime and
place her empty concessions on the hlgh
ground of international friendship. But
this is what is now proposed.
II NAV take weeks. it may take months,
for the American people to understand the
fact as contrasted with the fiction of the
present arrangement. But understand 1t
they will. and when they understand l;
their indignation will be destructive. Mr..
Wilson undertook, in the name OF his ma
ton. the noble mission of defending hu-
mainly and upholding international law.
To abandon these high purposes and accept
at German hands scrap Of paper per-
hitting Americans to live on the seas,
subject to German pleasure and as proof
of German benevolence. will be to shame
and dishonor his country and destroy his
own political existence

Half a Loaf Acceptable.

For what il recommends in the way o.
financial relief for this city, the report OF
Senator Browns legislative committee is
gratifying. 1t might have gone further
and the city would have Jared better.
Nevertheless. there will be no disposition
here to quarrel with any feature of that
report save the stipulation that there be
referendum on the proposal to give the
city officials power to fix salaries OF all
employees other than judicial officers and
on the proposal to place county expenses
under the jurisdiction of the city officials
To this there is a practical objection. "A
referendum would delay the operation OF
these reforms at least year, or over the
period of one budget. That, according TO
the committees own estimates, would
mean needless expenditure by the city of
s.. 100000. Moreover, if it is Just and
desirable for these changes to be put into
effect. as the report of the committee indi-
Gates, the obtaining of the preliminary
approval of the voters seems like much
waste motion.
This report accepts much Of the pro
gramme outlined by Mayor Mtchel. II
recommends that the state divest itself OF
81 100000 a year in favor Of the city
and assume the cost of the Public Ser
vice Commissions regulative work and the
cost of normal schools here. estimated at
another 81 100000. It does not urge, as
il might very we'll have done in strict JUS
tice. that there be any allowance to the
city from the state highway funds; and il
does not urge any curtailment of the ut
terly indefensble habit of the Legislature
of making appropriations from the gen
eral funds for purely local Improvements,
AS a result of which New York City pays
about 90 per cent of the cost of cleaning
out upstate creeks, building upstate
bridges and constructing streets through
upstate communities.
In other words, the total Of these re
forms will constitute half a loaf for the
city. New York will obtain from the state
81. 100. 900 annually, to which it has just
claim. and the lawmakers will graciously
grant permission for it TO make changes
whereby it may save S10,500,OO0 more.
But there is no disposition on their part
to yield other points, which the city deemes
quite as clear, wherein justice to the
metropolis would enable it to save $l0,
900 900 or Sl5,0OO,OO0 more year.
New York, unfortunately, is in the posi-
ton of suppliant TO the Legislature. It
will take the half loaf. if it can get it, and
the taxpayers here will be duly thankful
Cor the consequent reduction in their bur
dens. But New York will be unable to
fcrget that further changes are its due,
and inevitably in the future will press for
