Liberty Motor Against the Field

The great transcontinental air race
which starts to-day over a 5,400-mile
course offers for the first time in this
worlds leading aeronautical motors.
The two engines that will be watched
with greatest interest are the Ameri-
can Liberty and the British Rolls
Royce. Of the seventy machines en-
tered in the race, fifty are powered
with Liberty engines. The majority of
the remaining entries are equipped with
the Hispano-Suiza motor of varying
horsepowers. All the Liberty motors
are rated at 400 horsepower. There
is one Italian S. P. A. motor of 220
horsepower

entries in Bristol Fighter equipped
with a Rolls-Royce "Falcon" motor,
rated at 264 horsepower.
Although there is but one British en-
gine entered in the race, it's perform
ance over the 4,500-mile course can be
reasonably compared with the aver
age performance of the fifty Libertys
The results are bound to have q pow
erful reaction on the development of
aircraft engineering. This also holds
for the Hispano-Suizas and Italian
motor.
Another interesting phase of the CRU
elling race will be the comparative per-
formances Of the various types Of air
planes. Most of them are in process
of transformation into commercial ma
chimes, and the experience gained in
this contest will be of the greatest i'm
portance.
OF the machines entered, one type
only is purely American in design, con-
struction and power. 1t is the twin
engined Martin bomber.

Let Be

All agitation for unonizing the New
York police force comes from outside the
department. Several weeks ago an Off
cial of the Central Federated Union de-
clared that the patrolmen were organiz-
ing. The announcement created vio-
lent disturbance inside the department.
A periodical which deals exclusively with
civil service matters is now threatened
with libel suit, growing out of state
ment which seemed to involve officials of
tie Fatrolmen's Benevolent Association
in the scheme for unionization
Then and since officers Of the Patrol
mems Benevolent Association have en-
phatically denied any intention of Great
ing police union in New York. Never
theless, assertions to the contrary con-
t.nue to be made on every occasion by
the agents of organized labor.
Their activities are obviously embar-
RAISING to the New York police force and
tend to place the American Federation
o. Labor in an unfavorabIe light with
the public. The police don't want to be
un:onized. The people don't want them
to be. Therefore, why can't they be let
alone?

Hitchcock as Treaty Killer

The Senate majority has been in
formed, it appears, that if amendments
or reservations not approved are at
tached to the peace treaty, Administra-
tion Senator'S will unite to defeat adop-
tion. The message, informally trans
mitted by Senator Hitchcock, is said to
be backed by forty Democratic Senators,
enough to block ratification.
The notice whose filing is thus chron-
cled was not unexpected. Indeed it's
coming has been practical certainty
ever since it became plain that major
lty Of the Senators were firmly COM
mitted to reservations. The defeated. in
their desperation, were sure to make
this threat
Beaten in the field Of argument, hu-
inflated by seeing the demand for reser-
vatlons grow stronger, having failed to
browbeat men Of independent minds by
epithets and Misrepresentation, little
seems left to those who thought to secure
meek subservience to the Sign here"
command but to explode into a menace
which is silly if bluff and a confession
if sincere.
Senators Borah and Reed, accused Of
manouvring to scrap the whole peace
league project, may we'll grin To learn
that forty Democratic Senators had or
ganzed to join them on rollcall naturally
thrilled them with pleasure In their
most hopeful moments they scarcely
counted on convincing their White House
colleagues that the covenant is not worth
ratifylng--is so bad that it is better to
have no formal peace than to accent it.
The implications of the Hitchcock
message speak loudly. They say it is not
true that formal peace is so essential
that any sort Of covenant should be
swallowed to get it; that it is not true
that the world will expire Of broken
heart II machinery for peace is not SET
up that it is not true that the high
cost Of living and industrial chaos are
due to failure TO ratify that it is not
true that the United States would be a
gutter, scuttler, a betraycr of the hopes
Of mankind or apostate 70 all it's ideals il
not represented at Geneva.
The Hitchcock threat thus is adver.
| isement that the whole case sought to

"King of All the Brita;ns"

The Nea0 Europe, the excellent British
organ of international politics, makes
the suggestion that King George V
should assume the title king of All the
Britains," in order to express the world
wide character Of his dominions. The
innovation would not be altogether novel,
inasmuch as since the accession of the
present Kings father, Edward VII,
every coin of the British realm ha:
borne the device "Brit. Omn. Rex" an
abbreviation standing for "Britanni-
arum Omnium Rex" of which the title
now proposed would be merely the Eng
lish translation.
1t is suggested that the visit Of the
Prince of Wales to the overseas domin-
ions would furnish fitting occasion for
the change. The argument is that the
designation King of England is, in
spite of its proud associations, both in
adequate and inaccurate. 1t gives rise to
implications not altogether pleasing to the
political sensibility of the overseas Brit
isher, who, although intensely proud of
being member of the British Empire,
hardly cherishes nomenclature con-
veylng the impression that he is being
! ruled from Westminster. Ian Hay has
called attention in his book "Getting
Together" to the Misunderstanding
arising from the unjustifed, though par
donable, substitution of the term English
j not only for British, but even for Scotch,
Australian and Canadian.
The New Enrope's suggestion recalls
another proposal, made in several in
stances during the last two decades.
notably at the accession of both Edward
VII and George V, to the effect that by
way of symbolizing the greatness and
unity of the British Empire the title Of
the sovereign should be changed to En-
peror-"Emperor Of Britain" or EN-
peror of the Britons." The idea aroused
vehement opposition, chiefly on the
ground that historically the title and
Office of Emperor carries, in Europe at
least, "reminiscences Of miltarism and
usurpation, Of supreme power seized and
held by violent means, whereby that OF
the King embodies, in England, at anv
rate, the continuity of law and constitu-
tional development.

established? There is no authorization
for medical survey, such as army regu-
lations provide for officers. One is
driven to the conclusion that the fact
must be so notorious as to warrant
judge who administers the oath to a
Vice-P President in taking judicial notice
of it. When a President dies in Office
there is no formal attestation of the fact
the Vice-President acts from his own
initiative. Similarly it would seem there
must be unchallenged evidence of a
Presidents mental incapacity to war
rant the assumption of a succession.

. One Ring, Not Three

After making the admirable selection
of Franklin K. Lane to preside over lts
deliberations the industrial conference
Yesterday became snagged over pro-
cedure and was impclled to adjourn.
rule was proposed which provided, first,
that all conclusions reached by the con-
ference should be by the unanimous vote
of the three groups Qabor, capital and
the public and second, that how each
group was to record itself should be de-
cided by a majority vote within it. Pro-
test was naturally promptly made to con-
verting the conference into such three
ringed affair.
The conference will scarcely get on II
too labored an effort is made to sys-
tematize it. After all, it is merely p
gathering to promote the spirit of con-
citation. 1t has no power to decide any
thing, and necessarily must devote itself
chiefly to talking. Its recommendations
must be merely generalized advice. If
there are three bodies instead OF one,
each deepening it's division by warm dis
cussion and perhaps by bolts, it is not
easy to see what good can be done.
The industrial problem has reached
condition Of gravity where men of all
classes are asking how they will be per-
sonally affected if reasonable harmony is
not reestablshed The sober labor ele-
ments Of the country realize what will
happen to the masses if production is
diminished by general quitting Of
work. Business men are under no lilu-
sion as to what they may expect if there
is no basis for confidence The public at
last is becoming artculate in it's own be-
half. The Washington gathering has
been welcomed as promising to promote
{ get-together spirit.
This objective will not be brought
nearer by the conference attempting to
reach particular decisions which it has
10 power to enforce even though able to
arrive at them. 1t must leave the appli-
cation of the principles it may declare
for to other agencies. To try to bring
all matters to a vote under cast-iron
rules and a tri-cornered organization
may develop heat instead Of allay it.
Mass meeting methods, it would seem,
may be wisely adopted by the confer
cnce, with all groups and elements sit
ting together in one body.
New-York tribune., 1919-10-08
The "lnability" Of a President
The Constitution says:

"In case Of the removal of the Pres'-
dent from Office. or Of his death, resig-
nation or inability to discharge the
powers and duties of the said Office, the
same shall devolve on the Vice-Pres-
dent, and the Congress may by law pro-
vide for the case-of removal, death, resig-
nation inability, both of the President
and Vice President. declaringswhat officer
shall then act as President, and such
officer shall act accordingly until the
disability be removed or q President
shall be elected"
The clause so far as it relates to in
ability is one Of the unused parts Of the
Constitution. There has been no action
under it. From July to September in
1881 President Garfield lay on bed Of
pain from Guiteau's bullet, manifestly
incapable Of physically performing the
duties Of his Office, but Vice-President
Arthur did not succeed until death came.
There was much discussion, participated
n by eminent lawyers, but Congress
vas not in session and the Cabinet made
no request or recommendation, and the
Supreme Court was unwilling to pass on
a moot question. But it is now known
that shortly before death released the
Presidential sufferer the Cabinet had
reached the conclusion TO request the
Vice President to act dd interim.
When President Wilson went to Eu-
rope in December last some held
President Marshall should in strict
law become acting President, but the
question was never brought to issue.
The Presidential Office, except for brief
interval, was vacant for substantially six
months, saving such occupancy as was
possible by cable
SO it may be said, in view Of the two
serni-precedents, that it is not the prac-
tice 10 regard either the physical ability
or the physical presence Of President
az essential to continuous legal occu-
pancy Of his office.
1t will be noted that the constitutional
clause lacks clearness. 1t is not said how
or by whom the fact Of inability" or
"disabi!ity" (the two words are used as
synonymes) is TO be determined or certi-
fled 10. Secondly, there is no provision
"a question much talked Of in 1881, as
TO how it may be ascertaincd when the
inability ceases.
But though the force Of the word "in-
ability" has been lesaened TO below its
natural Significance, it has not bees
prived Of all potency. 1t seems admitted
that neral incapacty creates constitu
tional In. ,ility. But how is this TO bs

Foolish Contracts
To the Editor Of The Tribune,


Sir: If, instead of abusing their EMPLOYERS
and capital in general, the leaders Of the
various unions throughout the United States
we're to take an retrospective view of the sit
aation and furnish the public with list of
the various strikes that occurred in tho
United States within the last twelve months
which were absolutely not only unauthorized
but prohibited by the leaders of the unions,
the men going out of their own volition. it
might not appear so strange to them that
employers and capital cannot place much re-
lance upon any contracts made with unions
Probably the most striking illustration of
the total unrciability of contracts made and
entered into by unions is exemplifcd in tho
existing conditions to-day with reference to
the printing and publishing trade This view
OF the situation seems to be entirely ignored
by the press and the.pubc in general.
Reducing 1t to common sense PROPOSE
tion no one man could want to make a con-
tract with another man unless there was
some binding clause in it whereby each
party was to assume certain responsibilitie
and forfeit certain rights in the event that
either of them lapsed in his contract, and
unless each of the parties to such an agree
ment has confidence in the other it would
be foolish to enter into an agreement OF
this character
Doe this not apply to unions as we'll an
to individuals, and if so, where is the
remedy?
We would very much like to have an ex-
precision of opinion from either Mr.. Gompers,
Mr.. Fitzgerald Mr.. Foster on this subj
ject l.. r.
