The labor history of the B. R. T. is

IN the most arbitrary fashion, denied to
its employees any right to organize. The
war changed this and the company be-
came open shop with no discrimina-
ton either for or against unionists. Re-
celver Garrison continued this policy in
good faith, and something like 40 per
cent of the employees, it is said, have
elected to become unionists.
Then occurred what usually happens
with new unionists. 1t seemed to large
percentage of them that the union would
fail to function properly unless there
was walkout. Radicals, as usual more
vocal, assumed leadership, and it looked
as If the public was to suffer the horrors

The situation has been saved bv the

Zionists at Paris
} the Editor Of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The suggestion contained in the
statement by Isaac Landman, editor OF
he American Hebrew and published in
Your issue Of this date, to the effect that
the activity of the Zionists somehow con
spired toward the failure of the peace con
ference TO include Jewish rights in the
covenant of the league of nations, finds It's
inspiration in the general and thorough
going opposition on the part Of Mr Land
man to Zlonism and to the Zonists, and
his aptness therefore to use whatever pre-
text may present itself in order to discredit
both the movement and its advocates.
While this suggestion is sinister In
what it attempts to accomplish, il Is also
humorous in so far as the facts arc con-
cerned, because the Zionist delegations.

Perhaps a League

Inc TeparatlOn article OF the peace
treaty, as published in dispatch to The
World, declares that the Called and as
soclated' governments, through joint
commission, shall ascertain and declare,
on or before May 81, 1921, the amount
due from Germany. Then the article
goes on to say:
The commission shall concurrenty
draw up schedule of payments, pre-
scribing the time and manner for secur-
ing and discharging the entire obligation
within period of thirty years from May
l, 1921. In the event, however, that with
in the period mentioned Germany (the
enemy states) shall have failed to dis
charge her obligation, then the balance
remaining unpaid may within the discre-
ton of the mmssion be postponed for
settlement in subsequent years may be
handled otherwise in such manner as the
Allied and associated governments, act
ing through the commission, shall deter
mine"
Thus the international posse which
has rounded up Germany is not wholly
to dissolve. 1t is to be maintained for
thirty years, perhaps longer, as collec-
tion agency One kind of alliance will
thus continue.
If collection is to be assured, the COL
lecting agency must be equipped with
power. There is but one kind of inter
national power-that which inheres in
armies and fleets. Germany will seek to
wriggle out Of payment. She will re-
pudiate the obligation if she can To
provide against default the "Alicd and
associated" governments must be able
and willing to coerce, and an agreement
to concert together and to make common
cause in a specified or implied contin-
gency-what is this if not an alliance?
The reparation article is in some de-
gree akin to a real league of peace as
distinguished from bogus league. The
Allied and associated" nations" dealing
with practical matters, do not trust to
the bulls of the council createl bv the
Smuts-Wilson covenant. They safeguard
their interests in the old-fashioned way.
The reparation commission may become
the arm Of the worlds desire for en-
forced order.
The principle of preponderant power
is seemingly assumed. This preponderant
power consists of the five great nations
which have made common cause and
have joint interest in an orderly Ger
many Should Germany break out again
or engineer coalition foreshadowing
reputation, then the debt collectors NAV
colaborate against impairment of the
property which secures the debt or
against any scheme which ieopardizcs
the sum still due
1t has seemed to many that tho only
practical way to have league of peace
worth anything is to pcrpctuate the all
lance which now exists. If the repara-
ton article goes through as now written
there is perpetuation of the alliance
tor at least one purpose; and this one
purpose may so ramify as to include
practically all purposes. Maybe the
world will yet have league to enforce
peace--a natural and common sense
league which will not lose it's headwav in
sea of words.
