New-York tribune., 1919-12-11

Hague newspaper has twofold sig
nificance. First, it is a striking
proof that international propaganda,
with its value and possibilities first
recognized and it's methods scientifi-
cally developed during the war, has
come to stay; and 1t should be re-
membered that propaganda is not
synonymous with mind poisoning,
but that there are cases where it is
simply another name for education.
Secondly, the adoption by the
Hague newspaper Of English as the
best medium for it's international
campaign is a new evidence of the
world supremacy Of English. Had a
similar plan been conceived by a
Dutch or Scandinavian editor five
years ago there is an even chance
that the column would have been
conducted in German, that idiom
being the "lingua franca" of practi-
cally the whole European Cont
nent outside of France and aspiring
to expansion overseas. Such an ex-
pedient is simply unthinkable now,
and in this fact Germans may rec
ognize one Of the most deplorable
losses Of the war.

A Call for Memorial Ideas

We are exceedingly glad that Mr..
Rodman Wanamaker and his COM
mittee have reached the decision to
hold general contest of ideas for
a war memorial. They have shown
their wisdom and their practical
good sense. The conditions proposed
open the field to every one with
imagination and creative intelli-
gence. The resolution plainly says
"suggestions or plans; thus, not
only architects and sculptors may
submit designs, but artists, poets,
the plainest patriots, can contribute
their suggestions.
The contest closes February l
next, and an exhibition is planned
in the City Hall from February 16
to 2S. The whole process is we'll
calculated not only to bring forward
every possible form of monument
and every possible site, but as we'll
to stimulate discussion, invite crit
icism and secure that popular re-
action which should be an essential
contribution to the wisdom of the
problem. It is a vast undertaking
that is in mind, of permanent effect
for the making Or marring of the
city's beauty and dignity; there can
not be too much care taken that the
best mind Of the city is consulted as
a preliminary.
All suggestions, ideas, plans should
be sent to Mr.. Rodman Wanamaker,
chairman, the Mayors Office, City
Hall, New York City, and must be
presented not later than February
next.

'Being Done Good To"

A racent English visitor to this
country, we'll versed in labor condi-
|tiors, tells how a group of English
factory girls explained theil resent
ment at the kindly efforts of their
employers to improve their sur
roundings. Nobody likes to be
done good to, do they?" they asked.
Their views may be no better than
their grammar, and merely the per-
versity Of human nature makes
social welfare an irritating phrase
and the uplift unpopular.
Yet it is not difficult to understand
| their attitude. Though the develop
ment of civilization in many of its
aspects has been achieved by the
surrender of individual rights, new
ertheless the intensifcation of indi-
vidualism remains it's supreme OBJ
jectiye. Man still prizes the freedom
of choice between good and evil; TO
prevent him from choosing at all
means the destruction of moral re-
sponsibility. "No man can redeem
his brother"
The uplift, regarded as so modern,
is merely more scientific applica-
tion of the old idea of supplying flan-
nels to grateful villagers-a per-
petuation of the charitable spirit of
the squire's lady and the parsons
wife. The endeavor to bestow both
material and spiritual comforts
snever relaxed. What the objects Of
I this benevolent dispensing thought
! is recorded in many instances of
revolt. Nobody, as the factory
tirls observed, really likes being
yione good to-" 1t profoundly Of
ztends self-love.
The new uplift differs from the old
An that it seeks legal compulsion
4.ather than moral suasion. One of
3he delusions of the time is to dis
a.erard the distinction between vice
and crime, something which ulti-
makes crime no more serious

Anti-Wa Wadsworth
Whv One Voter Refuses 10 Bury th<
Hatchct
a Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Some politicians show an anus
ing Misunderstanding of the grounds
of the opposition to Senator Wads-
worth. They regard women as merely
holding a grudge against him because
of his opposition to woman suffrage.
If that were all, recommendations to
bury the hatchet might be appropriate.
The great trouble with him is that
he is consistently a misrepresentation
Of all who desire progress, justice and
the abolition of special privilege.
Roosevelt saw that when property
rights and personal rights conflict,
personal rights must be made para
mount. Wadsworth can be counted on
by the reactionaries to oppose not only
the rights of women, but the rights of
the poor and the oppressed whenever
they come into opposition with the
traditional rights of the privileged.
For instance, he voted against the bill
restricting child labor in the District
of Columbia, as could easily have been
predicted by any one familiar with his
attitude Of mind. Of course, he opposed
prohibition and has shown himself one
of the most uncompromising opponents
of any effective league of nations.
Naturally, he prefers the state con-
vention to the direct primary. Natu-
rally, he opposes welfare legislation,
however wisely and carefully drawn.
Now the men and women voters who
wish injustice removed and a fair
chance given to all, whether rich or
poor, whether prominent or obscure
propose to replace him by a Senator
with their ideals. The new women
voters care little for party regularity
or for the approval Of politicians. If
the Republican machine succeeds in
nominating Wadsworth, while the Dem
ocrats nominate Governor Smith or
somebody equally acceptable to lovers
of justice, it is almost a foregone con-
clusion that Wadsworth will be de-
feated at the polls.
1T is easier to pose as a leader than
to induce thoughtful people to follow
where they do not desire to go, and
probably machine politicians will find
their hands more than full if they
attempt to coerce women voters. All
honor to Miss Mary Hay!

The Public's Victory

he first point to be emphasized
4 the coal settlement is that the
P 'lic won great victory.
Tot injunction$ nor negotiations
In uced the arrogant officers of the
=, ion to change. They saw the
Ptrike about to be beaten and they
yielded.
The public has shown its power.
it has demonstrated that no
minority, whether miners or oper-
Rtors, and no matter how entrenched,

people are intelligent enough to see
chat the wheels Of industry must
revolve if any one is to have an
endurable life, and wee bstide any
group that runs counter to their just
and righteous will.
Here is the significant thing in
|the victory. 1t is valuable for edifi-
cation. Let not any private interest
deem itself powerful enough to do
As it's selishnoss dictates. The
public prefers peace and quiet and
| is willing to surrender much to
avoid a row, but if a contest is
forced on it it is capable of Defend
ling itself. Let all the fomenters
and practitioners of wrangling take
This lesson to heart.
It is unfortunate that for political
reasons the coal administrator is
led to indulge in talk about pro-
tecting the public from any increase
in coal prices as result of tne wage
increase he has conceded. Tenn
porarily he may impose such a
policy, but not for long. DR.. Gar
field is intelligent enough to know
that the only way to get cheap coal
is to mine coal cheaply, and he is
aware that in the end the wage in
crease will be saddled on the bur
derei public. How long will public
servants be controlled by the notion

SILLY Is not to perceive the necessary
conset .ence of higher wage scales?
But let US not dwell too much on
The fly in the ointment. The public
has won striking triumph over the
advocates of minority rule. Its
nature is such that its indirect good
effects will exceed in value it's direct
good effects. America is too keen
Of mind to have any delusion of
what it means if this or that bunch

the throat and squeeze it into life
lessness while its pockets are rihed.

The Bilingual Newspaper

An interesting departure in the
field of international relations is
made by the Hague daily Huogsche
Post. In it's edition of November
20 this newspaper, leading organ
of Dutch liberalism, starts column
in the English language, entitled
Letters from Holland" The first
article deals with the financial stu
alton of the country, and is signed
with the initials of the papers editor
in chief, Mr.. van Oss, prominent
Dutch publicist and economist. The
purpose of the new department is
explained by the following editorial
note:
"The limited field Of the Dutch
language naturally causes limited
interest of the outside world in Dutch
affairs and Dutch opinion. To widen
this interest we have decided to print
these letters in English. They will ap-
pear whenever there is anything of
interest to say, and copies of the
issues containing them will be mailed
to the editors of about one hundred
leading newspapers all over the
world. Their contents are in no way
inspired, and merely reflect the
writer's personal views"
Here in America the bilingual
newspaper is not altogether nov
city. A great many Of the so-called
foreign language" newspapers have
adopted, mostly as a result Of the
Americanization campaign of recent
years, articles in English as a
regular feature. Certain dailies of
Havana and Mexico City are follow
ing similar practice. In Europe,
however, the idea of a metropolitan
newspaper regularly printing edi-
torial matter in a language other
than it's own is entirely novel. To be
sure, isolated instances exist; thus.
La Presse de Paris, the composite
daily issued by the non-Socialist
newspapers of the French capital
during last months typographical
strike, accommodated the two Eng
lish contemporaries, The Herald and
The Mail, with an English column.
This, however, must be regarded as
a mere emergency measure. The
same can be said Of the printing by
Copenhagen newspapers of welcome
addresses in English during a recent
visit of party of British journal
lists.

Sir: Concerning radicals" the
chief quarrel l have with those now

have bestowed it on lot of politico-
economic quacks unworthy of the
noble epithet. Properly used, "radi-

the root of our economic ills and ex-
tirpate the cause, and the people on
whom the word is so freely bestowed
know no more Of the causes of these
ills than they do of the other side of
the moon.
A competent physician diagnoses an

cause. His radical remedy may be

drastic nostrums without in any way
touching the causes of the malady.
