A Blessing in Dis
guise
(From Tho american Luthcro.)

q CTATE after state is barring the Ger
y man language the medium of in
structon In the schools and as the
vehicle of Gospel proclamation. 1t is in
evitable that injustice is being done to
many loyal citizens of our country by i'll
considered, passion-inspired legislation
and that great number Of good people
are in deep distress through inability to
receive spiritual ministration in the lam
guage they best understand and which has
struction. However, We cannot refrain
from observing that these real and severe
hardships under which parts of the Church
at present laboring are not unmixed
with blessings. Divine Providence moves
in mysterious ways, and it seems that the
Almighty is for the general welfare of His
holy cause by compulsion driving portions
Of our beloved Church to adopt methods
and assume paths against the dire need Of
which they had been blinded by training,
sentiment and custom. Tho abrupt and
compulsory REIMBURSEMENT of traditional
methods is painful, but it may be beneh-
cial. We are optimistic enough to believe
that the accelerated transition from the
to the language Of the country is pro-
nounced blessing and will open up to our
Church a splendid vista of tremendous mis-
eionary opportunity. 1t is bound to revo-

School Lunches
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: / was much interested in the state
ment appearing in the newspapers last
week that President Somers of the Board
of Education had expressed his approval
of the luncheon served at Public School
40, and had ascertained that the nomi-
nal charge Of cents removed the objec-
tionable feature Of charity. This state
ment raises the question whether it is not
timely for the Board of Education to take
early action regarding the Inauguration of
q school lunch system in all the schools in
the city.
1t is apparent that there is a distinct
desire for the establishment and inaugu-
ration of such luncheons. On March 7,
1913, the board superintendent recon-
mended to the Board of Education the es-
tablishment Of Bureau Of School Lunch
cons. The school board gave considera-
tion to the matter and referred it to
special committee. On July 10 1918,
special hearing was held before the school
board on the subject. President So
mers reported at that time that no action
had as yet been taken by the Board of
Education, as no report had been received
by the committee. 1t is of interest to note
in this connection that on May 2, 1918, the
Chamber of Commerce of New York City
recommended the establishment of Bu-
reau of School Luncheons.
1t has been stated that in an investiga-
tion made in schools in the neighborhood
of Public School 40 38 per cent of the
boys and 33 per cent of the girls were
found suffering from malnutrition. 1t is
quite possible. In view Of existing abnor-
nal conditions, this ratio may be even
higher next year. To my mind, the oues-
tion Of malnutrition should not be the i'm
pelling motive In determining the course
Of action Of the Board of Education. There
are many who contend that the problem Of
malnutrtion should he solved in the home
and not in the school.

before the war. BY an excess profits tax
we mean a tax upon profits in excess Of
given return upon capital. The theory
OF war profits tax is to tax profits due
to the war. The theory Of an excess
profits tax is to tax profits over and above
given return on capital"
Everybody can see that, even the
Ways and Means Committee; and no.
body objects to a fiat war profits tax of
80 per cent, as Mr. McAdoo desires. It
is where he speaks of the excess profits
tax on its merits that the row begins.
He says-the Secretary of the Treasury
says:
"The excess profits tax exempts capital
and burdens brains, ability and energy"
He does not propose to abolish the
excess profits tax. He only wants it left
at the present maximum of 60 per cent.
obliged to look at the Secretary of the
Treasury askance. After all, did he
come through Wall Street quite un-
spoiled? Is he, perhaps, secretly COM
mitted to the anti-social doctrine that
there is economic use in profits? Has
the task of financing the war fallen, in
deed, into the hands of a conservative?
These are grave misgivings, and Mr..
Kitchin does not wholly conceal them.
He says:
"The Ways and Means Committee
wishes to write revenue bill that will
get those who profted before the war as
we'll as those who are still profiteering.
But the Treasury wants to get only
present profteers and let those who
profteered before the war escape"
AS for profits, even high profits, Mr..
McAdoo believes they cannot be helped,
and says:
"The one sure way is to tax away the
excessive profits when they have been
realized"
That is practical and convincing, and
acceptable even to the Ways and Means
Committee, so far as it goes. But it
does not strike at the institution of
profit, and that, apparently, is what Mr..
Kitchin wants to do.
New-York tribune., 1918-08-17
The Horrid Suspicion

AS we have said, the Ways and Means
Committee has feud with profits, as
such, and regards the war as an oppor-
tunity to level them off.
The Secretary of the Treasury wants
revenue to run the war and isn't inter-
ested 30 much in making the economic
system over.
That is the true explanation of the
bewildering controversy over the merits,
respectively, Of war profits tax and an
excess profits tax. For the clear distinc-
ton between them we can do no better
than to quote Mr.. McAdoo, who says
"By war profits tax we mean tax
upon profits In excess Of those realized

In his report on the new draft bill
Senator Chamberlain has also met this
plea for exceptional consideration with
perfect logic and candor He says:
The provision does not pretend to In

so, but simply says to him that If he
does cease he shall, under such regula-
tions as the President may prescribe,
subject himself to the draft as though he

The Use of Abating Luxuries

This country is not alone in it's deep
reluctance to get down to stern war
basis. 1t is only now, after four years OF
tremendous struggle, that England will
take up seriously the proposal virtually
to suppress many luxuries by means OF
heavy taxation. The special committee
to make recommendations for new taxes
proposes rate of twopence in the
shilling, or 16 per cent, for example, on
all cigars costing over eighteen cents,
tobacco retailing for more than twenty
five cents an ounce, mems suits costing
more than $40, restaurant dinners ex-
ceeding $1.25 person and hotel accom-
modations beyond certain price. This
will also be levied on all kinds of jew
elry, silks, perfumes, yachts, motor cars,
pictures, pianos, billiard tables and all
their like. Mems shoes shall not cost
more than $40 or women's shoes more
than $8.75.
The proposed tax is wide one, en-
bracing all such luxuries as rent paid for
fishing and shooting preserves, or the
to be made on works of art, purchases
for museums, on the first sale of pictures
by artists, except for portraits exceeding
a fee of 5000.
We cordially commend the report of
this committee to the attention Of Mr..
Kitchin and his committee at Washing
ton. Mr.. Schwab says that we cannot
build concrete ships because we cannot
get such odds and ends for ships as ship
valves and petcocks and binnacles and
binoculars. He says that in a single dis
trict on the Pacific Coast the shipping
work is $1,000 men short. We cannot
have an army Of 100000 men in
France by dreaming of it. 1t must be
sent in ships and sustained by ships.
Yet committees go to Washington day
after day, from this trade or that, to
bespeak tenderness for the luxury-mak-
Ing industries. Some way or other we
must have the ships and the supplies for
them, and with labor 101 per cent en-
ployed and shortage of coal, a shortage
of men, shortage of steel and much
else, steep restriction of the making of
vanities is imperatively called for. We
think none will seriously protest, pro-
vided the government, in abating the
non-essentials, is ready in every case to
utilize the facilities, the energies and the
labor thereby released. Just to shut
them up emotionally would confound
confusion and do more harm than good
New-York tribune., 1918-08-17
The Case of Hearst

As he met the storm Of public fury
that broke upon him after the assasslna-
ton of President Mckinley by shrieking
that The Sun had attacked him out of
envy or at the instigation of "the inter-
ests," so now Hearst employs all of his
noisy resources to make believe that
there is no case between himself and the
American people, but that what is taking
place is a newspaper fight between The
Tribune alone on one side and his ten
newspapers and seven magazines on the
other.
That was perhaps the best defensive
line he had. 1t worked seventeen years
ago. The name of his New York paper
was changed from The Journal to The
American, it's grief over the martyrdom
of the President was louder, more colored
and more consuming of news print than
that of any other newspaper; Arthur
Brisbane's outrageous Bolshevism was
canned for a time, and The Sun, for ex-
posing all this sickly camouf1age, was de-
nounced as an organ Of predatory capi-
talism.
This is the first time we have men
toned the interesting parallelism. We
were resolved, so far as possible, to con-
fine ourselves to the issue of Hearst's
sedition and to let his journalism alone.
He has attacked The Tribune's circula-
tion, editorially and through his sabotag-
ing agents in the field. We have never
until this instant made any editorial use
Of the fact that in greater New York the
daily circulation Of The American has
fallen more than 100000 copies a day
since last October. We have refrained
from doing many things which, although
very effective in newspaper feud, might
have weakened The Tribune's real fight
against Hearst by giving it an infection
of commercial rivalry.
Now, in spite Of anything we can do,
newspaper fight is about to take place.
1t is not upon our seeking, but indirectly
upon his. The Tribune can not and will
not by any set Of circumstances be put In
the position of supporting the Hearst
newspapers in struggle with the news

Hearst papers, as they have voted to do.
and if for that reason the other publish
ers then refuse to sell their papers to the
newsdealers, The Tribune will act alone.
1t will supply all newsdealers alike, with
out any distinctions whatever.
All of this is incidenta! and unexpect-
ed. But nevertheless, if it happens, it
will be easier than before for Hearst to
say that our interest in him and his
works was commercial and rivalrous
from the beginning. Therefore, we deem
it proper to say for the first time that
The Tribune's campaign against disloy-
atty in which Hearst finds himself in

cific and urgent request of that depart

Thc Carranza government has a tai
ent for dodging behind the strict letter
of international law. Its argument that
1T has right to tax oil produced in Mex
leo is good as far as it goes But the
size of the domestic tax imposed is not
the real question at issue. Suppose that
Carranza should claim that he may
properly convert the oil industry into
government monopoly and then forbid
the export of oil as an "unneutral" act.
That might be called an exercise of SOW
ereignty in the domestic field. But it
would go far beyond an ordinary OBJ
servance of neutrality. 1t would involve
a discrimination against the Allies and
a service to Germany. 1t would subject
Mexico to reprisals. Does Mexico want
the world to understand that, like Fin
land, she aspires to the proud status of
German yassal state?
