The Price OF april Mix

10 the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: My attention has been called to
news item. appearing in your publication
of March %, 1915 in which it was stated
that the retail selling price of bottled milk
IN this city would be reduced one cent
quart monthly beginning in April and end
ing with July and that this information
was based on my testimony in the John Doe
milk inquiry conducted by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Dooling before Chief Magis-
trate McAdoo
feel that the public has been nisin-
formed, and no doubt will be greatly dis
appointed IN case the big drop in milk
prices, as forecast by your publication,
does not come about, unless some steps
are now taken to correct the misstate-
ment so published
IN my testimony before Chief Magistra.s
McAdoo I outlined the new milk buying
plan Tor this territory which was agreed
70 by the Dairymen's League. representing
the milk producers, and the New York Milk
conference Board, representing the milk
dlstrlputers and manufacturers. and ap-
proved by the Governors milk commission,
Oh which Robert L. Bowling is chair
man. This buying plan, which goes into
effect April /, provides that the monthly
price for milk sold by producers Dairy
mems League) shall be based on the whole
sale price of butter and cheese in the New
orh market, and that a differential shall
be added TO this price to cover the addi-
uonal cost of producing milk for New
York City. That under this plan the Bor-
den Company would be able to buy milk
IN April at a price which would enable it
TO make reduction in selling prices of one
cent quart for the month of April
lhe above Is a synopsis Of my testimony,
and nothing was said about reducing SELF
ing prices in any month other than the
month of April. AS the plan is based on
butter and cheese prices, neither nor any
one else Is in a position to forecast whs.
Wholesale prices for those products would
be next month three or four months
hence, consequently no one can determine
Just now what the selling price of milk
Will be in those months

Going Bolshevist

Conspicuous among the novelties OF
present day doctrine is the threat to go
Bolshevist.
If Germany is asked to pay for a
fraction of the damage she has done
she responds, "Well, then, I'll go Boil
shevist." If her food supply, through
her own fault, is scant, and it is said
pity and moral obligation require those
hungry not through their own fault to
be fed first, she retorts: "Then, III go
Bolshevist'' If curb on her murderous
proclivities is proposed her response is:
"I'll go Bolshevist."
A curious manifestation of the human
mind. Here is the mood of the small boy
who threatens to kick and scream if
taken to the woodshed; or, to use more
accurate SMILES, it is as if a man on the
edge of an icy stream, or on the lip of a
precipice, should declare purpose to
precipitate himself.
Suppose Germany, despite the shrek
ing of this bugaboo menace, were al
lowed to go Bolshevist? Sometimes the
best way to end blutfing is to call bluff.
Bolshevism, as it has presented itself, is
a scheme under which the cure for fail
ing to have all objects of desire is lack
of everything. To remedy faulty dis
tribution it proposes to stop production.
Not satisfied with quotent, it urges no
quotient at all.
Living conditions are not good in
Germany. Many factories are closed.
The consequences of further shortening
the supply of raw materials and of ex-
tinguishing the remaining fires are not
open to doubt. If the fields remain un-
titled while workers chase after red ban
ners the results are certain. The lar
ders of the German bourgeose are
empty. A week of riot means that the
little store there is would be wasted or
hidden, and then--famne.
Russia has demonstrated that a rich
agricultural country can be brought in
few months to general starvation. And
If hunger fevers are raging in agricult-
ural Russia, one may readily see what
resolution not to work would mean in
industrial Germany, which normally pro-
duces but 80 per cent of it's food. The
Spartacan has been defined as Bolshe-
visit who can read and write, and any
one able to read and wife should have
intelligence enough to see that going
Bolshevist" would give to Germany a
hundred blows to one given to any one
else.
Yet pseudo-intellectuals, whose malef-
icent influence reacts on public men
none too we'll grounded in principle,
seem greatly impressed by the German
threat--say the Germans must be cod
died. No one, of course, has any desire
for Germans to commit suicide But if
their purpose is fixed there is no way
to enjoin them. When German threats
to jump off the dock are heard, perhaps
the best way to end the foolishness is to
say: "Well, why don't you?" The sacred
right of self-determination. Possibly the
doctrine includes the privilege of self
immolation.

Via London
By Chester M. Wright

ONDON, March 20.-George D. Antippa,
32 University Street, Athens, Greece,
breezed along through London on his
way to America to buy some steamships
steamships three for the service of Greece.
There are other things, too, that this man
from Athens intends to buy in the land of
Uncle Sam But steamships are his prncj
pal hearts desire"
When Antippa, coming from one of the
Oldest cities in the world, talks about goino
to America his eyes shine even as child's
when indulgent uncle holds aloft much
choice candy. America-it's a magic land
where there is never any end to ANYTHING
where all manner of things are made with
amazing speed and where there are unbe
lievably tall buildings.

But that is not the most importany thing.
Mr.. Antippa has other designs on America
which are indicative of much. Greece is
far from the Statue of Liberty, and in COM
parison with our own eXpanse Of territory
it isn't much more than poe but
there are ways in which it is a siz-
able proposition, and it isn't near as far
away it before the Kaiser let the
world know he was crazy
"Greece is the gateway through which
goods go to most of the Balkan countries
said Mr.. Antippa. Il know that Athens
isn't much more than what you would call
a village, but we import much for ourselves,
and as merchants we import much for
others. Before the war Germany had everv
thing her way. German trade was cstab-
lished. Germany knew how to do business
with us and with the other peoples in our
part of the world
Then the war came. That stopped Ger
man trade. Germany can never regain
that trade 1t is lost to her forever Even
if she should recover her ability to deliver
goods, who among US would buy? Mo-
body. During the war imported largely
from Spain. We had never imported from
Spain before. But during the war we had
to. Now the war is over, we seek the best
place to buy. We want to buy from Amer
lea. We want to buy everything much
machinery. great deal of clothing, all
kinds of foodstuffs
There is great curiosity about America

Hon. 4. Mitchell Palmer:
Hon A. Mitchell Palmer
Attorney General of the United States,
Washington, D. c.
Dear Sir As American loyal to the
Administration, it is my duty to call your
attention to glaringly anomalous condi-
tion which exists in the policy Of the
United States government, and to ask you
to take the steps that are necessary to
correct it.
The newspapers of April set forth the
news of hard battle fought about 100
miles south of Archangel, Russia, between.
American troops and the Boshevik troops
of Lenine and Trotzky 1t is stated in the
headlines that "American French, British
and Russians hold their position intact in
the face of repeated assaults" 1t was an
nounced in London that British reinforce
ments will follow Immediately the Ameri-
can troops now on the way to North Rus
sa"
While American blood was being shed on
the soil of Russia to uphold the policy of
this government in regard to Bolshevism
and to support the high principles uttered
by the President of the United States on
that subject, an official emissary of the
Bolshevik government was enthusiastically
received at public meeting in New York
City and listened to with delight while he
preached Bolshevsm! At Hunts Point
Palace, on the night of Wednesday, April
2, L. A. c. K. Martens, official representa-
tive from Soviet Russia, preached Boshev-
ism to an audience Of 5000 people that
packed the auditorium referred to- while
more than 1900 and women we're re-
ported unable to gain admittance'
Martens was introduced by Socialist
Alderman Braunstein, who appealed for
American workingmen to follow the cx-
ample of Russian workers. When Martens
rose to speak the audience rose and checred
Justify, and then sang the "Internationale
Ludwig Lore one Of the speakers. said:
Revolution may be impossible here now,
but revolution may be possible tomorrow"
Thus do | call your attention to the
presence in the United States of an enemv
alien, with whose government the Ameri-
can people are at war, and who is not onlv
free in all his movements but is actually
so brazen that he is attending public meet
lngs and preaching Bolshevism. Surely this
CHASTITY travesty orderly government has
escaped your attention. Surely you will not
permit this intolerable situation to con-
tinue.
In order that the matter may formally
come to the attention of the United States.

the Kaiser and his relations with the

business man spoke to me thus:
Il am interested in seeing American bust
ness facilities improved on this side of the
water. One of the things that makes for
bulk of business is rapid mail service
Quick, cheap communication always helps
business. We must make every possible use
of the mails, because cables are high priced
and not always serviceable. One cannot
send a long letter by cable.
Just now it takes two weeks sometimes
more-to get letters from America The
round trip is about month at best Ameri-
can firms doing business in Greece must
wait twelve weeks for return letter-six
weeks each way. That is too long. Deals
get cold in that length of time
Now, why cannot America put her war
ships on the job of carrying mail? Why
cannot fast vessels, not now needed for war.
be put into regular and rapid mail ser
vice? France has carried mail in warshins
Why not America?
u suggest this not only because want ia
see Americans get business, but because 7
want to see Europe get supplies. We have
got to buy in America in large quantities
We need rapid communication. There upst
be fast warships perhaps destroyers that
America can put into the mail service II

Early in the period Of the first arnist,cc
when the tide OF optimism and idealism was
running higher in some quarters than If ;s
now, some OF the statesmen representing
a group of small nations decided it would
be fine thing if they could get together
ana settle IN advance some of their own
problems. They thought that if the, could
do this in spirit of brotherlv affection
it would also set an example Of hicb-
mindedness for the peace conference.
These statesmen met in a neutral cono-
try They called upon an American to pre-
side over their deliberations. They began
10 lay out their problems and to find out
what could be done toward settlement.
IN the beginning all was well. There was
spirit OF give and takc--a magnanimity
that was inspiring and wonderful to
behold.
But 1t didn't last long. The proceedings
