The Heart Of Article X

Tie World processes not to under
stand the reservation to Article X, which
President Wilson denounced at Salt Lake
City as "cutting out the heart Of the
covenant" Nevertheless it has under
taken to explain how the heart cutting is
accomplished.
The explanation is finc-spun. Our
neighbor says:
"Articlc X subscribcs to the principle of
territorial integrity and politca! indc-
pendence against external aggression and
agrees to enforce it up to the we'll known
limitations imposed on us by our Consti-
tuition, which, it is true, are Left implied.
article X amended as above refuses to
subscribe to such a principle, even in
theory, and leaves it wholly to successive
Congresses whether we shall in each case
disapprove, ignore or actually approve Of
violations of territorial integrity and
political independence by external aggres-
sion"
The World also argues that under
Article X tie representative of the
United States on the league council could
''join with the other members Of that
body in admonition, protest Or condcm-
nation or other pressure short OF boycott
or war, with regard to any nation which
threatened to violate the territorial in
tegrity or political independence of any
other country" But, it says, under Arti-
Gle X as qualified, the representative of
the United States on the council "would
have - refrain from sharing in any
action whatever, no matter hoa mod
crate, until and unless he could secure
an act OF Joint resolution OF Congress" :"
This subtle distinction is based On a
msconception of the functions of the
the council. He is not an agent clothed
with unlimited powers, as he would be
If the league were what some of it's sup
portcrs still think it is--a super nation
}lc is only an ambassador in an inter
national council. He is free 10 attach
his rame TO amy threat, remonstrance OF
recommendation of the council, without
awaiting instructions from Congress-
without consulting the Executive, even,
if he feels like doing so. But his action
cannot commit the government of tho
United States to anything to which it
doesn't want to be committed He merely
takes part in a diplomatic initiative.
His decisions remain subject to disap-
proval and reversal
President Wilson made this point
absolutely clear in hs discussion of the
meaning Of Article Il with thc members
Of the Senate Foreign Rciationa Com
snittcc. He told the committee that he,
as President, WAS free to exercise his
judgment as TO whether the American
representative in the council had prop
crly carried out instructions from
New-York tribune., 1919-10-01

Washington. 1t was optional with him
10 approve or disapprove the decision in
which an agent of the United States had
concurred. If he approved and sub
mitted the recommendation to Congress,
Congress was also free "to exercise its
judgment as to whether the instructions
of the Executive to our member of the
council were we'll founded or not"
The President thus admits the exist
cnce of a Coube check on all commit
ments entered into by the representa-
tive Of the United States in the council.
What the advocates of a reservation to
Article X have in mind is to serve no.
tice on the other members Of the league
that this government does not intrust
any attributes of sovereignty either to
the council or to our member of it. They
want to destroy the theory Of automatic
and final authority residing in any con-
clusion reached by the council.

drafts would compel our agent in the
council to submit Hypothetical cases to

ident and Congress to review his votes.
All would leave the United States unfet-
tered by any moral obligation to defer

When a Bargains Not Bargain

The case which Mayor Hylan makes
against any increase Of rapid transit
fares is that bargains a bargain. The
contracts of the companies provided for
a five-cent fare. and . iivc-cent fare they
must be satisfied with, let ruin cove rs
1t must
But now comes the =. r. 7. with z
bargain in a new aspect. Pursuant TO
court order it is to be split into its twen-
ty-siX component parts as a result Of It's
failure to pay rentals ard charges under
n tive-cent fare. The consequence Of this
is that it's single five-cent fare legally
becomes twenty-siX tlve-cent fares, each
constituent company under the letter Of
its bargain regaining the right to charge
a separate fare.
How does Mr.. Hylan react to this OBJ
vious illustration of the sacredness of a
bargain? BY directing his Corporation
Counsel to bring mandamus proceedings
to compel the B. r. T.. companies to
charge but single fare.
Apparently Mr.. Hylan has novel and
convenient theory of bargain. 1t is 4
sacred and immltable covenant when it
pays ecu. When it pays the other fell
low 1t is a scrap Of paper.

The way was lost, then. in April, il was

ginning on March 21 and April 10, and act
uaily, when the resistance OF Bvnps Thira
Army broke the German plan. The success
TO tho south, the rout Of Coughs Fifth
Army, gave the German offensive the SEM
blance OF success, which deceived the world
But on April 4, Marshal Foch received the
press correspondents and told them that
the German food had been damned: that
is, on the day Ludendorff now announces
that he gave up hope Of decisive victory and
turned north.
The thing that stands out above all else
is the way that the two great German efforts
IN the west, for Verdun was only small
affair by comparison, resulted in stra-
tegic failure. Both called for swift and de-
clslvo victory, for the elimination of an
army, the French in 1914 and the British
IN 1918. In both, the opening phases were
favorable to the German; in both he won
great battlefield successes; but in both he
found himself, at the end, in bad hole.
In 1914 ho had to turn east and face Rus
sia; in 1918 he had an American menace
even greater.

American Troops in Armenia

Senator Williams introduced some
time ago a joint resolution authorizing
the President to send American troops
into Armenia and the Caue;ssus. These
troops would replace British troops,
which are shortly to be withdrawn Mr.
Williams has so far failed to explain
why an authorization by Congress for
such an expedition is needed. Part Of
the territory described as Armenia was
formerly included in the Russian En-
pire. Part of it belonged to Turkey We
already have some troops in Siberia, and
have had others in the Archangel dis
trict, although we have not been at war
with any existing Russian government
OF ary government controlling what was
formerly Russian territory. We are aiso
not at war with Turkey. Yet our peace
delegates at Paris have been instructed
TO assume state Of war to the extent Of
participating in the dictation of peace
terms to the Turks. Why cannot chat
assumption Of belligcrcncy be stretched
far enough to justify an American mill
tary occupation Of Turkish Armenia?
The Observation-Disclosures who ap-
reared before the Foreign Re&tions Com
lHttec to support the Williams rcsolu-
ti5n discussed intervention only on its
practical side. The apparently accepted
without question tuc Williams theory
that d Congressional authorization is
necessary, or at least desirable. They

and $50,0O0,000 would be needed to es-
tablish an American occupation and to
prepare the way for an American
mandate.
The Crane-King mission, recently dis
patched from Paris, has reported that
$4,000 would be the minimum force need
ed to police Armenia, and that far
larger force would be required if the
United States undertook to exercise
mandatory powers over Turkish Anato-
liza and the internationalized district OF
Constantinople. Probably 100000 men
would be necessary to the discharge Of
that broader responsibility.
If the Foreign Relations Committee is
taking Mr.. Williams's resolution seri-
oUsly it ought to ascertain the scope of
the Administration present Armenian
and Turkish policy. What demands on
the American army will it make? For
unless these demands are known Con-
gress will be acting in the dark in re-
organizing the army on a peace basis.
The advocates Of the Baker March re-
organization bill have produced no rea-
sons to justify fixing the strength of the
regular army at from 500 900 to $50 900.
The rational limit seems to be 250O00

Another Marne

All of which means just one thinc-that
the German General Staff and German mil
ltarisEn failed in its great undertakings at
both of the supreme tests. Ludendorff's mar
rative confesses the later failure with O
frankness that it is difficult TO exaggerate
Indeed, he told the press, in April, 1919, in
one of his rare conferences, that, although
q great battle had been won, no one could
tell the consequences.
He could have told the consequences:
Foch did tell them to all who questioned
him. There was no more chance of gather
ing up an army such as began the campaign
OF 1918. Officers and men, storm troops
and picked divisions had disappeared Lu-
dendorf thinks that his government-tho
diplomatic end-might have capitalized the
moral effects Of ground gained, prisoners
taken, etc, to some end. He complains
that it did not, but this does not change
the fact, the military fact. He blames
the German navy for permitting the
Americans to arrive, as Napoleon blamed
dc Grouchy for the coming Of Butcher, but
this does not change anything. Tho truth
stands that the Battle of Picardy, the "Kais-
er Battle" was failure in all but local
circumstances; another Marne, and thus the
second decisive battle of the war.

America to Blame

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The Tribune yesterday heavily
scored the foreign employees in the steel
strike. The facts given may be true, but
is tho implication fair?
The unskilled workmen Of the steel in
dustry went on strike. Most of the un-
skilled workmen arc foreigner But does
this make it fair to blame "the imm grant?
Investigation VIII show that most of their
leaders are Americans.
Immigrants do not understand our lam
guage or our ways. They are emotional and
easily worked upon-easly led. The men
who como to them, understanding them,
working upon their ideas and prejudices.
who take the trouble to offer sympathetic
advice, the agtators who. either de-
liberatey or through a false conception OF
the means of attaining ideals they cherish,
give these newcomers distorted view OF
American democracy and industry.
This is no judgment for or against
strikes. 1t is merely an attempt TO empha-
SIZE the fact that labor troubles cannct be
the fault of the foreign born. The fault
lies partly with the leaders, who are often
unscrupulous in the means they use to in
fuence these people. But chiefly does it
lie with the American people, who do not
welcome the foreigner and go to him, as
these men do, with sympathy and under
standing making things clear to him, teach
ing our language, explaining our customs
and life. and making friends with him. II
they did he would haze sufficient knowl-
edge Of his surroundings to make him
Independent of agtators who judge for
him whether or not he is being oppressed.
The widespread "Americanization" move
ment all over the country is not the solu-
ton, because, in too many cases, those
engaged in it do not understand the pco-
pie they are to help. And often they are
not really anxious to help. but attack them
like a hostile host, who simply must be
crushed, dragged away from their life
habits and "Americanized." Help our immi-
grants! Teach them! But don't "American-
ize' them, in the current sense Of the word.
Let them cherish what is fno and noble
and characteristic in their own ideals and
traditions. though they may seem strange
and queer to US, who are foreigners to
them. But lead them with friendly hand
to knowledge Of our life and customs.

Daisy, the Sph,i11,;

1t is bad enough to have the world
series unsettled and debated at any
given moment; TO throw Daisy Ashford
into the cauldron Of conversational dis
pute cotemporaneously is to attack the
human brain on all fronts. 1t is prac-
tically impossible to find room for secure
footing in such slippery, argumentative
hours. The most you can hope for is to
avoid being bowled over in the melee by
placing yourself with one or the other
rushing, wrangling phalanx. 1t is no
time to be an innocent bystander.
OF course, a woman can refuse to
understand what world series is re-
ferred to---"Wont the league of nations
settle all that sort of thing?" etc. But
Daisy cannot be thus cvaded No mere
man-and Daisy has given fresh sting
to that somewhat vague adjectivc-can
plead lack Of time, "for, my dear, you
can read it at a sitting." And you
really can. The best answer is to read
the slender, harmless looking volume, as
we did, and make up your mind, as we
did, thus taking your position one way
or the other and giving yourself a bona
tide standing spot let the conversational
barrage fall where it will.
Fortunately, Daisy is one Of those
problems that leave few neutrals. We
have yet to meet a person who had
any doubt Oh the question. You are
either for her or against her, instantly,
instinctively. Whether you like her pict-
ure or not, whether you think Barrie
delectably witty Scot or an old mush,
on this particular issue decision comes
with the slap of the book as you close it,
"Of course, Barrie wrote it," you de-
claim scornfully; or f'it's unqucstionably
child's job" is your warm and rather
excited fiat
For example, from the first suspicious
hint in the preface clear through the
whole blatantly Barresque matter of
nine-year-old Daisy's brain, we felt no
possible shadow of doubt. Or, if YOU
must have trace of doubt in such
disputed question, we gladly state it
thus: Which is more likely, that Sir
James Matthew Barrie has written down
another whimsical joke, rich in mellow
satire, or that a nine-year- girl has
written a tale that reads so exactly like
Sir James Matthew Barrie writing a
nlne-year-old's book that, shutting your
eyes, you can see him smile and hear
his voice? Putting the matter in an
other way, if there is real Daisy, and
she did this book, we see another Bacon
Shakespeare controversy arising, for she
might equally have written "Peter Pan"
and "a Kiss for Cinderella"
IN snort, we can see little more chance
Tor the possibility Of Daisy's matera.iz-
ing In the flesh than we can of the Reds
winning tie world series, to make our
position perfectly plain

The Right to Work
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In to-day's Issue you quote Mr..
Samuel Gompers as saying: "The American
workman Will not surrender his right to
quit work"
Certainly, no ono wants him to; but we
want to Mr.. Gompers also adding to
his statement these words: THE American
workman Will not surrender his right 10
work"
That is The whole question in nutshell,
and seemingly hard one to crack If
man is willing to work at his job he
should be fully protected, ana no organiza-
tion or set Of men should be allowed to
prevent him from doing SO.
Make it penal offence TO interfere with
any man or woman in the pursuit of his
work, either by intimidation or force, and
a long step will have been taken toward
the settling of the so-called labor troubles.
