That Peace Bell
To the Editor of The Tribune

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In The Tribune of August a con-
tributor asks for information Of the Coum-
bian or Peace Bell of 1898.
In answer to my inquiry concerning this
bell, in April of this year, 1 have the fol-
lowing reply from Mr. William Meneely, Of
the Meneely Bell Company, Of Troy, N. Y,
who were the founders Of this bell:
"The Columbian Liberty Bell was mado
for the Daughters Of the American Revolu-
ton in 1893 and was first exhibited at the
Worlds Fair, in Chicago, in that year. after
which it was shown in many cities through
out the United States. The Columbian Lib
erty Bell was duplicate in size Of the bell
we made for Independence Hall, in 1876"
l then wrote to Mr.. Wilfred Jordon.
curator of Old Independence Hall. Phila-
delphia, for information of the Columbian or
Peace Bell, who replied: ~ have absolutely
no knowledge of the history of a Columbian
Liberty Bell"
1t is now the duty of some of the
"Daughters" to rise up and let us know
where this Peace Bell is resting.
Mr.. Meneely further states of the his
tory of this bell:

then taken to the Worlds Fair, Chicago.
Although it came late (having been manu-
factured several weeks after the fair COM
menced), it was given a place of honor
directly in front Of the Administration Build
ing, and rang out in pleasing tones on all
patriotic anniversary days. The weight of
this bell is 10000 pounds, each thousand
pounds representing one of the original states

idea of peace and liberty, and its purpose
is to perpetuate peace the world over.

Poor Vox Pop!

70 the Editor of The Tribune
Sir; Mr. Garrison gracefully and unhesi-
tatlngly admits that he is all right. The
B. Il. T. employees use no innuendos in
suggesting that he may be all wrong.
Mayor Hyan attempts mediation. JUDGE
Mayer lndorses Mr.. Garrison's actions; and
all emphat'cally rave about wrongs and
rights. All except the evangelical public,
who perspire and are meek, but inherit
nothing but abuse. And not even an edi-
tor'al in The Tribune. Does the editor
own Ford, or does he live in The Bronx?

Initiation and Agrarianism

A reader of the Presidents speech to
Congress concerning high prices, particu-
larly those of food, looks vainly for refer
ence to two phases of the problem which
seem at it's heart.
One is the effect that imitation of money
and credit naturally has had on the price
level, and the other is the fact that the
agricultural interest has derived the
greatest benefit from the rise.
No reasons for these significant omis
sions are given. 1t is scarcely concciv-
able that the President is not familiar
with outstanding facts or that he does
not appreciate their bearing. On the
other hand, it is not agreeable to think.
or even to surmise, that he shrnks from
discussion of them for political rea-
sons. But whatever the reason that bids
the Chief Executive to ignore big mat
ters and to devote himself to smaller
ones it would seem proper for others
frankly to discuss them.
The difficulties of any deliberate con-
traction of credit are obvious. To force
a liquidation is perilous-has reactions
from which any one may we'll shrink.
1t is easier to float with the tide and
to hope for the best, though there is in
tellectual apprehension that expansion
has reached dangerous volume and that
ultimately contraction must somehow
come. We have had Presidents who cour-
ageously opposed initiation, but no one
can be recalled who has been bold enough
to urge defation.
1t is not easy for President Wilson to
do this, because Of his relation to the
much praised Federal Reserve system.
So far this has worked we'll, but it has
not existed through a complete business
cycle. 1t has furnished admirable
machinery for redscounting and thus
expanding credit Instruments, but it is
not yet established that it will prove
as effective in a contrary role. ."
On the whole perhaps, all that can be
done with respect to initiation, even
though it is prime cause of price en-
hancement, is to leave the problem to in
dlvldual prudence. But it would seem fit
ting to sound warnings in an educative
way against venturing too far from
shore.
The relation between prices and agri-
cultural profits is more direct and cogniz-
able, and if there is anything in the
nature Of limiting prices through p
board system or otherwise, it seems
scarcely feasible to leave the farmer ont.
Food prices have gone up something Like
100 per cent, a larger rise than has
occurred with respect to non agricultural
commodities.
An enormous increase in land values
has followed-in some states approx
mating to 500 an acre in little more
than year. With 1926 wheat as a
basis, all grains and the animals into
which they are converted are at price
levels never before known. The harvests
have been abundant, but no relief has
come to consumers
1t is against the facts to say that mid
dlemen and manufacturers have absorbed
the greater part of the cash gain The
producers, with rare exceptions, have
this time had the benefit There is no
evidence of any abnormal widening of the

DEFEAT

I HAVE seen him. and his hand
Has that slow gesture still
My tutored heart
That had gone quietly these many months
And happily, securely, beat its way
Glad to be free of the old instancy-
Ny heart betrayed me-
Cowardly it stopped;
And then it leaped,
And the old Panic hoofbeat. thundered b
my ears.
Oh. is there then no peace FOR ne
When old love will not die!
And shall / conquer all things,
Thrusting up, through the intoerable psin
of growth,
Until my soul
Leaps winged to the sunsets rim
And fall a-trembling like an aching girl
Because he has beautiful, slow hand!

Of your clean chiselled nostril, and the fine
Crisp curve your hair makes on your fore.
head? Men
Are plenty who are duh and dutiful.
l owe you thanks that you are beautiful.
And if your spirits vividness is such
That with the swiftness of fight Of birds
Rises the covey of your colored words,
Where is the song shall praise you over

I hold no brief for pous lividness;

PARTING AFTER A QUARREL

XOU looked at mo with eyes rom
l. bright with pain,
Like some trapped things. And then ycu
moved your head
Slowly from side to side, as though tie
strain
Ached in your throat with anger and with
dread.
Soon you had turned and left me, and I
stood
With queer sense Of deadness over me;
And only wondered duly that you could
Fasten your trench-coat up go carefully
Till you were gone. Then all the air was
thick
With my last words that seemed to lea,
and quiver.
And in my heart heard the little click
Of door that closes-quietly, forever.

DERL1N, July 21.-The moving picture
- show in Germany has now enjoyed
more than eight months of complete
freedom from censorship and the result has
been so bad that when the constitution
makers at Weimar last week adopted para
graph killing the censorship they felt COM
PEELED to add proviso to the effect that
exceptional legislation might be adopted in
regard to picture shows That proviso is
eloquent. 1t takes cognizance of a degrada-
ton of the film business that has reached
unbelievable limits. Since the censorship was
swept away by the revolution in the name
of liberty the tone Of the film has gone from
bad to worse; liberty has become license;
the degraded, sem-animalized taste of the
people has dragged the exhibitions of the
film stage from one low level of moral rot
tenness to still lower and lower depths.
1t started apparently with what is called
the Enlightenment film" (Aufklarungsfilm)
by which is to be understood film designed
to illustrate the evils and results of sexual
cialst in psychopathy who had film
made as propaganda against that paragraph
of the criminal code striking at namelcss
wees. lie wanted to show that the para
graph ought to be repealed because it can
be used with deadly effect by backmailers.
Film advertisements on the public bill
boards We'd with each other in their reckless
appeals to q degraded taste. At the
doors Of the film theatres pictures are dis
played quite in keeping with their titles, bed
room scenes with an exposure Of person that
leaves little to be imagined. And at these
shows, so I am told-regretfully told bv a
lady who saw some of the worst of these
films-girls and boys of ten or dozen
years sit and feed their young imaginations
on such perlous stuff.
Fortunately the film interests themselves
are beginning to call for reform This notice
appeared recently in one Of the Berlin
papers:
"The Erotic Film--Not only the dailv
press but also the special organs of the
him branch are condemning more and more
sharply the boundless excesses of the So
called enlightenment films The manu-
facturers are themselves demanding some
substitute for the censorship. AS
the case stands to-day the German film
IS simply unfit for export for the simple
reason that no theatre in a neutral or
hostile country would risk Offering to their
pubic such exaggerated erotic pieces"
One of the newspapers which STRONGLY
condemn this degrading tendency reproduces
the plot Of one of these popular films. Snf-
flee it to say that would not venture 70
lay It. before readers of The Tribune. Vet
German girls and boys sit and see sucb
pieces and get their views of life and morals
from them. And that is the wav that fres-
dom is being used by the Germans. II 10

into effect it will soon be followed bv tbo+
