The Port Treaty

Nature has given New York City the
finest harbor in the world. Crcum-
stances have brought here an enormous
commerce. Because these things have
come with so little effort we have DOS
slbly never had that keen appreciation of
the value of great ha1bor which has
been shown by other seaboard communi-
ties compelled to struggle to make
something out Of inferior port facilities
The Board Of Estimate and Appor-
tiohmont has taken critical view Of
the port treaty just submitted for It's ap-
proval. This treaty provides for concert
of action between New York and New
Jersey In developing the North River
shore lines. 1t seems TO meet opposition
on the ground that it may benefit the
Jersey side Of the river. An attitude of
this sort Is narrow. What benefits any
part of the port must eventually benefit
the whole of it, and particularly the
centre of it; for the commercial and
shipping interests both of the port it.
self and OF this great urban centre,
which now virtually includes Northern
New Jersey, are so intertwned that
progress anywhere must react favorably
everywhere.
in the development of the port we
have two state Jurisdictions to contend
with. The wise thing to do is to re-
move petty rivalries and frictions and
work for a common end If we create
something like unified control of the
port its expansion to meet the business
which ia pouring in can be intelligently
accelerated, instead Of being left, as it
has largely been in the past, to chance
or feebly co0rdinated action
The port, like the city, has outgrown
state lines. This fact might as we'll be
recognized in the plans for its develop
ment. The Chamber of Commerce and
the Merchants Association have indorsed
the port treaty as sound in policy. Whv
should the city authorities hesitate TO
accept the same modern and enlightened
view?

The Cosrt-Martial Scandal

The Indictment which Lieutenant Colo
mel Ansell draws against the cou1t-mar-
tial system is one which cannot be met
by vague assurances that it needs no
amendment. Secretary Baker is retreat
ing from that indefensible position. He
wrote to General Crowder on February
Ia: II have not been made to believe
by the perusal of these complaints that
justice is not done to-day under the mill
tary law or has not been done during the
war period" Now he has appointed a
committee Of lawyers to investigate the
abuses Of military justice.
Lieutenant Colonel Ansell puts the
trouble in nutshell "tack Of legal
CONTROL he says, "is the difficulty lack
OF legal control ut the top, lack Of legal
control Mt the bottom, lack Of legal con
trol throughout tho proceedings" Mill
'hry Justice Is speedy. But everything

Truck and dairy farmers are compul-
sorily affected, for they ship on early

Milking must be done an hour earlier.
and there Is testimony as to the difficulty
encountered in persuadng the cows to
meet their engagements at what seems
to them unreasonable times.
Besides the legitimate complaint as to
early train making, rural thought runs
to the idea that "city fellers" are so
ignorant that they do not know that
some kinds of work in the fields cam
not go on to advantage until the sun
dries the dew; that every fool ought to
be aware that the closing hours of the
day are the most valuable, when hay and
grain can be brought in dry. To
the retort as to why not go to the
fields as now-at 8 clock time instead
of o'clock-thus lengthening the work
ing period at the later end, the answer
is usually a snort. Sleep until the
clock strikes 81 Who ever heard of
such wicked nonsense?

servative, SO disposed to stick to custom,

The Worlds Teacher Shortage

The world seems to be facing Il short
apc of teachers. Both in the United
States and Europe thousands Of women
quit clnssroonis nnd entered munition
factories and government bureaus.
In England a general appeal has been
issued TO them TO return to their schools.
But experience has shown them that
other occupations are more lucrative
and pleasant. In London nm effort Is be-
ing made to got new teachers by offer
ing scholarships Of $3.50 year for two
years for training.
A similar situation confronts America
According to +. =. Cluxton, United
States Commissioner Of Education, there
Is little hope Of increasing the school
standards while the salaries Of tenchers
remain ~ now. Many teachers are leav-

reek with it,"
why should man, simply because he
becomes soldier, abdicate his primary
right to Il fair trial on any charge
brought against him? Under the court
martial system he has as counsel Junior
officer, unversed in the duties of a trial
lawyer, subject to unpeasantness if he
dsturbs the routine of a drumhead in
qulry. The defendant is unprotected by
strict rules of evidence or by the exercise
of that judicial discretion which tempers
the administration of the law in the civil
courts. And he is exposed to a sentence
absurdly incommensurate with the gray
ity of his offence.
Mr.. Baker announced not long ago:
mo member Of the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs is more anxious to mod
ernize and humanize military Justice
than I am" Why, then, is it not modern
lied and humanized? The administration
OF military justice hinges more on inter
pretatons of the law than it does on the
law itself The regulations of the law
bureau Of the army can easily be mod
ernlzed. The spirit in which military
transgressions are viewed can be human
lied by reforms within the courts martial
and the War Department. Nor is
any committee Of civilian lawyers needed
to suggest such reforms. They are as
patent as the abuses which make them
necessary.

Recognizing Outlaws

Correspondents in Paris, whether ac-
curatcly giving information no one
knows, intimate nothing having been
learned from the PrinlSipo fasco, that
the Lenine Trotzky government is about
to be recognized. In the Echo dc Paris
M. flutn, who has been known to dare
to publish facts. puts the matter mega
lively, saying "hc cannot say that Presi-
dent Wilson is disinclncd to give the
request honorable consideration"
The mind flows back to words used by
President Wilson when accepting his
second nomination. to wit:
"So long rs the power rests with mn
tho government Of the United States will
refuse TO extend the hand Of welcome 10
any ono who obtains power In a sister

Of nny republic by title based upon

this to be tho policy Of this ndmjnistra-
tlon within three weeks after assumed
tho Presidency. ] here again avow It,"
This principle was laid down concern
ing llucrta and his government, but it
is even more applicable to Lcninc and
his government. Lenne, more than
llucrta, rests his power upon treachcry.
violence, intrigue and assassination. If
the Mexican dictator dispersed Il con-
grcss. the Russian dictator dispersed 4
freely elected constituent assembly. If
lluelta had guilty knowledge of the
murder of Madero, Leninc would have
killed Kerensky az he has killed hun
dreds of others, if he could have capt
ured him. Nearly every conspicuous
Russian identified with efforts to create
free Russia is either dead or in exile.
Nine. Breshkovsky, grandmother of the
revolution, after thirty years in Siberia,
is refugee in this country. Tschai-
kovsky has been protected from Lenine's
savagery only by Ally troops at Arch
angel. Our State Department, speaking
for the President, is formally on record
as saying that the Lenine government is
one Of outlaws.
Not only is it an organization of out
laws, but it openly proclaims it's purpose
to march its mercenary armies against
all free peoples. Practically every charge
brought against the Kaiser can be
brought against Lenine and his co-work-
ers Both are apostles of force--thc
Russian being more brutal in it's use than
the Prussian. One no more than the
other recognizes that just government
rests on the consent of the governed.
And it is intimated that President Will
son is considering the possibility Of
claspng hands with the bloody monster
of Russia The report is not credible
Those forwarding it are guilty of gross
insult.

Failure of the
Parade Pageantry
10 the Editov Of The Tribune.

10 Wc Edtfor of 1Hc Tribune.
CSllt Artopos Of your editorial "1he Din
~ cultes of Decoration" March 27, per
nit me TO suggest TINT the generally felt
and acknowledged failure Of tho official
pnRenntry connected with Tuesdays cee-
bration wns primarily due to an entire mis-
conception of tho probem-a faIure TO
grasp the essentials Of this order Of design.
If, to the writer of your editorial, civic dec
oration appears tho most difficult Of all
arts, it shows that in this case nm easy
thing was made difficult that artificial diff
culties were created--tha the entire "at
tack" was wrong.
For it is a characteristic Of every
cessful work Of art that it seems unlabored,
easy and inevitable
Street pageantry and decoration, being
for occasion, are not architecture, which
is for continual and daily use and enjoy
mcnt. Therefore, such decoration should
not be made even remotely to resemble
architectural art, for if it does so it i'm
mcdatcly and inevitably enters into COM
petition with the surrounding architecture,
with which it cannot hope to compete, but
which it may nevertheless outrival by rea-
son of its gayety. its brlliance and by
beauty of an entirely different sort.
Instead of being treated to an exhibition
of pagcantry and decoration as an art in
itself we we're confronted with imi-
taton architecture of an ancient unin-
spired, cumbersome sort; false in fact. false
and end of it all, which was to enhance and
, adorn the spectacle of marching troops.
1t was false in fact because it was lath
and plaster made to initiate enduring stone
1t was false in taste because it echoed the
taste of imperial Rome by way of imperial
France. 1t was obstructive because it actu-
ally obstructed the movement of the troops
and the vision of the spectators.
The trump cards in the decorators pack
color and movement, played scarcely
at all--the color and movement Of green
swaying garlands, of great banners in the
wind. of gilded ropes supporting red and
blue and green sky-percing masts
Street pageantry and decoration is an
art in itself. governed by rational and logi-
cal laws like any other. If / were asked to
formulate these roughly and briefly should
do as follows:
L. Organic unity The pageantry should
cmanatc from one mind. should symbolic
one dominant idea, and this Jurisdiction
should extend over all private displays
whatsoever.
9 Continuity. The eye and mind should
be carried continuously onward to special
points Of accent and enrichment
g. color All other factors should be
subservient to :hc color scheme and tho
color scale, This should be rich and vnri-
Gus
4 Movement The sun and the wind
should be made collabofators by many art
full but simple devices which need not be
