A Pig in a Bag

1t is impossible not to feel a great, al
most an overwhelming, sympathy for the
West Side Taxpayers Association. Con-
fronted in the last election with the
choice between Mayor Mitchell, "whose
administration we believe had been more
or less socialistic, the yearly appropria-
tion for purely social service having in
creased $3O,000,000 in the nine years in
which he and his associates were in con-
troll" and Judge Hylan, its members un-
hesitatingly supported the latter. To be
sure, they tell His Honor, 1--WE did not
know you, we had no opportunity to
form a correct opinion of you, but we be-
lieved that the organization which nomi-
mated you had been, since its inception,
the friend of the business man and the
property owner
Now these unfortunate individuals find
that, instead of being a conservative,
you have advocated the most extreme
radicalism." Indeed, 1--WE believe you
have strongly and openly supported the
Boshevik theory that the community
owes everything to the individual and
that government should be paternalistic
and control every action of the individ-
ual." Moreover, they declare his econ
omy promises have not been carried out;
instead, that he has filled city jobs
whether they are needed or not. Also
they hold him responsible for delay in
subway building. The net result is that
they answer the Mayors recent query
whether the taxpayers are satisfied with
his administration, briefly and en-
phatically eve are not"
The man who buys pig in bag and
on opening the bag finds its contents
anything but what he expected is sor-
rowful figure. And sorrow naturally be-
gets sympathy. Yet in this case the SYM
pathy must be directed to the members Of
this august organization because of their
blindness rather than because of the bad
selection they made. Taking any candi-
date on trust invites disappointment, but
taking a candidate from Tammany on
trust invites disaster.

A Hard
Hitting. One

He is a compact man, closely knit, without
room for waste strength or energy. His
face might be described contradictorily as
an Irish face built ON the Greek system.
1t is rounding face, but seems gathered
everywhere for economy of power. The
nose takes every advantage OF being nose,
but refuses to go any further than that.
His eyes are not too deeply set, placed
just at the proper depth to inspire con-
fidence. Little lines Of humor radiate from
them. More energetic lines run down from
the tip of the firm nostris to the side of
the mouth. And the mouth is firm and full,
opening sometimes in conversation, which
is vigorous, to disclose unostentatious rows
of strong, regular teeth. The total i'm
preston is of man built for hard hitting.
He has done lots of it. He could have
been Democratic Governor Of Missouri,
but preferred to stay outside of regularity
and speak his mind. He began as mes
senger boy, was railroad clerk, became a
stenographer, studied law, developed large
corporation practice, which he later dis
carded, and took part in some of the most
interesting legal fights in Missouri.
He is emotional and has the rare gift of
feeling intensely and thinning straight at
the same time. When he talks he looks
as If he meant every word of it.
If war has any effect on US it will be
to disclose and develop others like him.
Walsh is one Of the signs Of the time.

And they who lust for rule shall find too

The Soldiers Morals

Everybody feels competent to lay down
a moral code for the soldier, especially
the stay-at-home who has no real notion
OF what war is like. To such minds the
problem is not problem at all; repres-
sion is the whole answer. Tell the soldier
what ne must not do and see that he
doesn't do it is the programme.
1t is refreshing to find Professor Hook
ing, in "The Yale Review taking a
broader and saner view. Repression is
possible and natural when the soldier is
hard at work drilling or in the trenches.
dissipation is an impossibility at such
times. But the soldier on leave is an
other matter. He is in no mood for the
apparatus of introductions and the
other proprieties which hedge women
about:
HIS mind is fatigued with obligations;
his relief consists largely in being ire
sponslble. He is in frame of mind for
what William James has called mora,

us feel the need for an occasional moral

The Slavic Legion

The Slavic Legion is happy solution
of many problems. 1t enables the United
States to avoid the impropriety Of draft
ing enemy aliens for service against their
own governments. We should put no
alien enemy into uniform by compulsior.
But there are hundreds of thousands
of Austro-H Hungarian subjects here who
are Austro-Hungarian subjects only in
name They have every reason to hate
the political system under which they
have been ground down by the German
and the Magyar. They have everything
to gain and nothing to lose from the de-
struction of the Dual Monarchy
In all but technical allegiance they are
already allies and not enemies It is
most desirable therefore to give them an
opportunity to fight for the liberation of
the Slav peoples from the Austrian and
Hungarian yoke. In our interest and
their own they ought to be encouraged to
volunteer to fight their own battle.
whether under our colors or under the
colors of France or Italy There is al
ready South Slavic and Czech Legion
in the Italian army. There is also a
Polish Legion in France.
The South Slavs, -Slovenes and
Austrian Poles in the United States can.
under the Hitchcock amendment, qualify
legitimately for military service against
the Hapsburg monarchy. They are to
offer their services, declare their renun-
citation of Austro-Hungarian sovereignty
and be incorporated into special units
and special military body The United
States is to equip, train and support
them. But they are to remain a sepa-
rate organization, with racial and ma
tlonallstic character of it's own, though
protected under the laws of war by an
association with the army of the United
States
1t is estimated that from 100000 to
100000 Slavs can be recruited for this
seml-autonomous army. Here is a well
come addition to our man power. If we
were to join in military intervention in
Siberia, where a Czech -Slovak army Of
former prisoners of war is now doing ex-
cellent service for the Allies, our Slavs
would be especially available for such an
expedition.
The battle for Slavic liberation in Aus
trla-Hungary is one that can be fought
on any front. Liberation will come onlv
when the Central Alliance is crushed,
The struggle is the same and for the
same purposes-whether it is conducted
Ill France, in Italy, in the Balkans, in
Siberia, in Palestine or in Mesopotamia.
We were long time getting to the
point of declaring war on AUSTRIA Hun
gary. But the days of hesitation passed.
We are now in fight to the death
against Hapsburg tyranny as we'll as
against Prussian absolutism. The crea-
ton here of an Austro-Hungarian Slavic
Legion would be final notice to Vienna
that we have adopted Slav liberation as
one of our essential war aims.

Speeding Up the Credit Dollar

Speaking before convention of credit
men at Chicago, Mr.. Paul NJ. Warburg,
Of the Federal Reserve Board, chronicles
with interest the ever widening use of
trade acceptances and the increasingly
liquid character Of book accounts result
ing therefrom. The trade acceptance has
met with the same conservative spirit
that the use of bankers acceptances en-
countered but very few years ago. But
this is giving way almost everywhere,
and the use Of the trade acceptance
promises to become as general as, for ex
ample, it is in England.
Mr.. Paul Warburg touches upon a new
and interesting point when he discusses
the increasing speed of the credit dollar
Which is one of the results of this wider
use, and the effect of this speed upon the
general level of prices-that is, if you
please, on the daily cost Of living, The
modern view Of money is kinetic. That is
to say, it deals with money in motion.
passing from hand to hand. The old
quantity view of the earlier economists
was an almost purely static conception.
But it was obvious that thousand dol
lars changing hands fifty times a wear
would do just as much work, j. e., effect
the exchange of just as much goods and
services, as fifty thousand dollars chang
ing hands but once year.
1t follows from this conception that in
creased speed, or velocity, as the econo
mists prefer, has just the same effect on
prices as increased quantity If you could
abruptly double the rate of turnover of
every kind of money in country you
could double the average of prices, Just
exactly as if you had doubled the GUAM
tity of money instead.
The trade acceptance, therefore, mean
ing an increased velocity of credit, tends
likewise toward increased prices. All the
more reason, then, why all unnecessary
credit should be cut off, Mr.. Warburg
luminously says:
"The great speed with which new dollar
values are being created at this time and
the enormous demand of governments for
goods render it imperative that we coun-
setting the brakes upon every unneces-
sary use of credit or material Normally
those brakes would be applied by enforc-
ing higher interest rates In view, how
ever, of the necessity of keeping the
money market in a condition Of sufficient
case to enable the government success
fully to carry through it's vast financial
operations, it would be to the greatest
public advantage If contraction of credit
could be brought about by voluntary dis
elimination rather than by the compul
sion OF higher rates.
There is an additional reason for this,
which Mr.. Warburg carefully states:
THE rapid increase of deposits and
loans Of the banks of the country. which
we must look forward to as incidental to
the unparalleled scope of war cxpcndi-
lures, viii create constantly growing
demand for means with which to maintain

Walsh ofhe War Labor Board
By Ralph Block

WV ASHINGTON, June 21.-The times
" have changed; Walsh hasn't In
1915 it was contrast that made him
appear strident, contrast between the life
he was scrutinizing and the attitude he bore
toward it. AS chairman Of the Presidents
Industrial Relations Commission he came
down on the modern mechanism with a
heavy hand tore at it unsparingly to dis
cover its intention and it's objective. But
if Walsh's voice was rough. the country's
was plaintive and offended. They were
quits that score. Even liberals-who
must be differentiated from radicals, it
seems-found Walsh too strong medicine
When the commission automatically ceased
to exist Walsh retired from the prints for
time.
He is back now, unchanged. But diff
ferent world greets him. Democracy has
come to be something more than phrase.

At a Long
Table

He sat in his Office on the eighth floor Of
the Labor Department Office building, in
Washington, few days ago, sat on one
side Of long board table, and explained
what the War Labor Board wanted to do.
AS one of the joint chairmen Of the board
his explanation has the quality of au-
thority.
Walsh talks concisely, definitely, but not
with the thin allowance Of imagination that
betrays so many Concise" men. Instead,
his speech has pleasant amplitude about
it, though failing nowhere to hug the line
toward his point.
"The theory that generally prevailed be-
fore the war;" he began. twas that the
wages for labor were fixed by supply and
demand. AS an explanation Of economic
processes that theory is sham and de-
lusion. Many other influences creep in to
set aside any possible authority that eco
nomic principle might have. In the large
industrial centres. where most of the
workers are gathered, the wage is fixed by
the great employers. For instance, in Chi
cago it is fixed by the great packing in
terests, by the International Harvester
Company and by the Link-Belt Company
