To THE EDIron OF THE SyN-Sir: OF

steps be taken to urge the Allied Powers

This date falls upon period when
harvests are practically all garnered.

Thanksgiving as the time honored last

serve future generations Enthusiastically

THE THIRD PROPOSITION.
German Tricks and q Future French
Tariff.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: We
intended scope of the third Of the four
teen propositions-no discrimination by
any nation in any future tariff.
Let US assume that the war has
been over for three years: that France
has been rebuilding an industry of the
occupied departments, which Germany
had wholly wrecked To help the process
she had laid a fiat tariff on similar
goods made abroad; uniform but not
high. German manufacturers under
take to break down the reviving in
dustry by putting so low a price on
their products that, despite the duty,
they will flood the French market. They
are able to sell thus low because the
German Government stands behind them
and by devious and hidden channels
makes good their losses out of the
treasury. II is not difficult to devise a
method whereby this may be done
and yet not leave a trace which a for
eigner can lay hold of-spurlos versenkt.
II this third proposition means that
under such circumstances France is to
be left powerless to meet the compete
tion OF these German made goods by
lacking up the tariff on them one might
reasonably suppose that she would be
rather slow in accepting such a propo-
sition.
Moreover, when analysed is this
proposition logically one OF the terms
Of peace" at all7 That is Of peace"
as we generally understand It, the peace
that interests US now. the peace that
Is to end this war. 1t does not deal
with any OF the controversies which
ushered in this war: II docs not seek
to right any OF the wrongs or correct
any OF the inJustices which this war
has produced. Is II not rather a pro-
posed regulation or rule of national
conduct for some happy future. when
all the warning nations, refined and
purified. shall be living together In har-
mony like our old friends the lion, the

1t Is reported that President VII

dress to delegates nearly all Of whom,
presumably, speak French, but many
Of whom have no English.
There will be no trouble about the
TRANSACTIONS. American students of
French say that the Presidents adj
dresses as they have been printed In
Paris journals reflect every shade of
his English expressed meaning. But
1t is one task to translate at leisure
with all necessary literary tools at

he has done in addresses to the

Had the Germans been successful the
blockade Of their coast would have

Of the fleets the neutral world waited

We do not know whether Rear
Admiral REGINALD TYRwHITr of the
British navy goes In for poetry or
not, but we hope he does. For as he
stood on the bridge of his flagship In
the North Sea at sunrise yesterday
and watched twenty German subma-
rines crawl up to him to surrender,
one poem in particular must have been
recalled to him. The poem in partlc-
ular Is from the pen of ERNEST LIS
sAUER and Its last lines read:
Come. let US stand at the Judgment
place,
An oath to swear TO, face 10 face:
An oath OF bronze mo wind can shake,
An oath for our sons and their sons to
take.
We have all but single hate.

THE CHRISTMAS SHIP.
A Santa Claus Of the Sea for AmerI.
can Soldiers Abroad.

To THE EDIToR OF THE SuN-Sir;
Would It not be a splendid idea for
the United STATES Government TO donate
Mt least one ship TO be used exclusively
for the sending OF Christmas gifts to
our American soldiers?
Now that the armistIce is effective
and hostilities have been suspended, 1t
would seem that one or two ships should
be available for the purpose or sending
gifts to those OF our soldier boys whose
pride and sensltiveness restrained them
from sending to relatives and friends
the paraphernalla- for the transmission
Of Christmas gifts to them.
l have n brother and two nephevs
over there TO whom want to send gifts,
but cannot do so because of the nom
receipt from them of the necessary tags,
&C.. which 1 know their pride has pre-
vented them from sending, and there
must be thousands of others similarly
situated.
Another advantage OF the Christmas
gift ship would be that restrictions as
to size, weight. &C.. of the packages
would be overcome.

Government Ownership Of Voters,

The Administration did not take
over the ocean cables when war was
actually being waged, although It had
authority from the Congress to do so.
Evidently the Government had salts
factory cable service in the really
crucial hours of the war.
The Administration did not merge
the Western Union and Postal tele-
graph companies in the months be-
fore the armistice, although 1t had
the power to merge them. We must
assume that these competing COM
panies provided service adequate to
the severe demands of the most i'm
portant time in Americas history.
Why now have the cables been
taken over and the telegraph COM
panies merged by Postmaster General
BURIEsoN? A resolution adopted by
the National Civil Service Reform
League suggests the unhappy posi-
bilities Of the future and the general
suspicious of the present. 1t says,
relative to the Government admins
tration of railways, express COM
panies, telegraphs, telephones and
other industries:
I'VE are not questioning the neces-
sity for Government control OF these in
dustries during the war, nor the pur-
No ha Col

call attention to the fact that the spoils
system, which has now been in the main
so happily eliminated from tho Federal
civil service, was due to the same con-
ditions as now prevail In these indus
tries; to wit, discretionary appointments
ceases and places in the service become
highly desirable. It is inevitable that
they will be sought and granted by po-
litical methods. unless this service 10
now protected by a system which will
render patronage impossible SO long as
these industries remain under Govern
ment control. Otherwise there will be
created a vast political machine, en-
bracing nearly 100000 subordinates
and used for the purpose of controlling
elections and probably for influencing
the future status OF these industries.
This will be pregnant with disaster to
free institutions"
1t is true that the possibility Of
an effort to bring about Government
ownership of public utilities has been
shifted by keen noses, but those who
smelled the attempt believed that any
one who borrowed WILLIAM JEN-
NINGs BRYAN's great idea would also
borrow BRYAN's straightforward pur-
pose of going about the business
openly. BILL did not wear rubbers,
and there Is q soft padding of gum
shoes in the mir just now.
Perhaps the reason for the unex-
planned postwar seizures is not
merely Government ownership of
utilities, but Government ownership
of voters. the tragedy Of which the
National Civil Service Reform League
expresses its fear.

CHANGE THANKSGIVING DAY
TO NOVEMBER r13
The Possible Effect on the Christmas
Shopping Rush.

To THE EprroR OF THE SuN-Str: A
despatch from Washington says that a
resolution was introduced in Congress
to set apart November IL as a national
holiday to be known as Victory Day.
I suggest that instead Of adding a
new national holiday in November law
be passed making November ii Thanks
giving Day; this to supersede the pres
ent Thanksgiving Day, which the Presi-
dent has always fixed by proclamation
for the last Thursday in the month Of
November.
It Is known to every business man
that the real Christmas business Of the
country begins with a rush the day
following Thanksgiving. forcing an enor-
nous volume of business into four weeks
II Thanksgiving Day is established by
law for November IL It will add three
additional weeks in which to take care
of the enormous Christmas shopping
This will do away in part with the ter
rife strain now imposed on all working
people to meet the demands of the pub
lie in the short period now existing.
A sane law like this will be In the
direction of improving the working con-
ditlons OF everybody and also fostering
the commercial growth Of the country.
Will you not use your great influence
to propagate this idea to set apart No
vember IL as a real thanksgiving Day,
which. according to Webster's diction-
AIRY, means:
"A public acknowledgment or celebra-
ton of divine goodness; also a day set
apart for religious services. specially to
acknowledge the goodness Of God, either
in any remarkable deliverance from
calamities, or danger. or in the ordinary
dispensation of His bounties."

MERCENARY BULGARIA.
PanaretOff's Candid Admission o
Bargaining Recalled.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir: Mr..
Panaretofrs defence OF Bulgaria would
not be worthy OF comment were 1t not
Tor the backing given by fanatical sec
tarianism In this country to this MUIR
derous robber. The moral status OF Mr..
Panaretor and OF his countrymen was
made sufficiently clear in the extraor-
binary interview given by him to THE
SUN in 1917. He there quoted with ap-
prevail the explanation OF the Bulgarian
Prime Minister OF the choice made by
his country OF the role It should play
in the life and death struggle between
the ideals OF Christian civilization and
those of Wotan and Thor
AS our Prime Minister put it at the
time" no said, I'VE we're ready to fight
for either side that would enable us to
restore our national unity by recover
ing Serbian Macedonia. But Serbia
refused and blocked the plan. !.
Then 1t was that Germany and Austria
guaranteed us what the Entente Allies
had been prevented by Serbia from guar
anteeing US, and We entered the war on
the side OF the Central Powers"
There was no question in Mr.. Panare-
tons mind that the bid made by Wotan
and Thor for his country's sword and
his country's soul was one that no Bull
garian could or should refuse.
For the rest let any who doubt hear
