Feeding AZ Per Cent
itor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir; A letter in to-day's Tribune written
by Mr.. William c. Fox says, in speaking of
the freedom of the seas: at means that if
cry should come to US across the seas that
the men and women of Germany are starv-
ing on account of the illegal acts of Great
Britain, the United States will demand the
right to feed them, and will maintain that
right, at all hazards, just as she did and
is doing in Belgium"
II Mr. Fox wrote in good faith and was
rot indulging in sarcasm, beg to refer him
to "The Literary Digest" of January 20,
which states that of the 5000, 100000 con-
tributed TO Belgium during the past two
years and half the United States has con-
tiibuted the munifcent sum of 100000
| therefore suggest to Mr.. Fox that he
amend his letter to read: "The United States
will demand the right, and will maintain
that right at all hazards, to feed Az per cent
of them" A. ID. B.

IL is obviously against the best interests OF
The city to tolerate them longer than the
time Il takes to put remedies into effect.
The topography Of Manhattan Island can
not DO changed, but great many Of the
streets can be so changed MS to do more
work than they are now doing. Commits
sioner Woods made several specific suggos-
tons which are worthy Of study. But the
sensible thing to do Is not to attempt, hit
or miss, to do things; 1t IL to form a COM

Why the Interference?
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: presume the fragrant laundering
and gross disregard of the eternal fitness Of
things on the part of so many high officials
in Washington have become so common dur
ing the last three or four years that the pub
lie has grown callous. This is doubtless the
reason why the recent activities of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury and the Postmaster
General in relation TO the leak" investiga-
ton now being conducted by the House have
excited little or no comment in the press Il
seems TO me- however, that the action of two
members of the Cabinet in attempting 70 die
tate the selection of counsel for the investi-
eating committee is not only such an unwar-
ranted interference with legislation but also
such a shameless breach Of propriety that
public attention ought 70 be specially di-
rected toward it.
II may he land for the honor OF the coun-
try let us devoutly hope sol that no member
of the Presidents official family is in any
way responsible for or concerned in the
leak. But it would seem that the merest ele-
mentary sense of fitness and deeeney would
withhold any man in such position from even
appearing TO interfere in the smallest de-
gree In the case Of Messrs. McAdoo and
Burleson, however. some more urgent and
conflicting motive appears 20 have Influenced
their conduct. Whist vast? Why were they
so exigently and DANGEROUSLY insistent upon
the appointment Of Mr.. Samuel Untermyer

Bayonne Needs a Modern School

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Now that the seventh day wonder
sprung by the Rockefeller Pundit has as
sumed its normal shape and the public at
last realizes that there is nothing extraor-
binary about it to make it differ from the
various efforts being made throughout the
country in an endeavor TO coordinate our
schools with everyday American needs, let
me urge the Rockefeller Pundit TO devote
his sudden activity to a sphere where 1t Is
most needed-n Bsyonne. Surely, the
Standard Oil colonists in Bayonne are more
in need of an education that is modern, even
though they still exist under medieval con-
ditions, than any such community as Will
benefit at Columbia.
In Bayonne the Rockefeller Pundit would
be giving the Rockefeller Foundation its
moneys worth if he investigated school con-
ditions there and tried TO make the chaotic,
foreign elements through the younger gen
Grafton fuse into good potential American
citizens Conditions are so medieval there
that even with the inclusion of Latin and
Greek the Bayonne children would be de-
irving greater benefits than they now enjoy.
But doubtless the Rockefeller Foundation,
as in Colorado, keeps clear of the left
handed Rockefeller interests, and the under
lying fear that such a community as Bayonne
might possibly become too intelligent
through the modern school" has driven its
pundit into the whittier light of publicity by
establishing his luxury on Morningside
Heights, which calls 70 mind the Sanskrit
proverb: 81 am crying for you and you're
crying for some other" CLASSlCIST
