Worse Than MEXICO
To the Editor of The Tribune.

Sir: have read with much pleasure your
editorial in o-day's Tribune entitled "Foo;-
ing the Filipinos" have been connected
in business way for some twelve years
with large plant on the Island Of Negros,
J., and have just returned from a four
months trip to the islands.
The matter of the independence" of the
Philippines could not be more clearly and
forcibly stated by the writer of this ed-
torial if he had spent years in the islands
| am especially pleased with your statement
that Independence" would leave the Fill
p:nos in the condition of Mexico, or worse,
inside of two years. They are less capable
OF self-government than the Mexicans and
not homogeneous people, the latter are,
nor have they nearly as large leaven Of
educated and able men.
A cable dispatch published in some of the
papers yesterday morning shows the pres
ent condition in the Philippine Islands, and
this is largely due to the feeling of discon
tent and unrest which has been aroused by
all this independence" talk 1t also shows
that the plan of giving them control Of the
various departments of the government at
Manila has been granteds very much too
fact and far ahead of the ability of the Fill
pinos for selfgovernmcnt.
Also, few people in this country realize
inst Japan is very serious menace, as
(due to their rapidly increasing population
ard the crowded conditions at home, 1hs
japanese are trying in every way to get new
possessions that are suitable for their
people.
You have brought out in your editorial
an extremely important point, viz, that
the Philippine Islands would be delicate
spot in our relations with Japen If the
Fiipinos are granted independence we
should almost surely, within few years.
have to prevent Japan from Selling the ISL
ards. Most men who have lived in the Far
East long enough to understand this situa
tion tell me that Japan is already planning
to get economic control of the Philippine
Islands as soon as they get independence.
This would make it extremely difficult for
the United States to interfere
1t therefore certainly behooves our roo-
eminent to look ahead and prevent this
situation before things have gone to the
point where we should have to step in by
force of arms. WILLARD WINSIOW

a Needed, Warning

Edward S. Walsh, State Superin-
tendent of Public Works, calls attention
to matter, much neglected, which
vitally affects the future of New York
and the country as whole. There is
still failure to provide adequate termi-
nails for the barge canal in Oswego and
New York City. We have spent $780,
100000 on a great waterway that lacks
outlets and inlets.
The war suspended Canada's work on
the new Welland Canal But it will now
go forward, and soon the largest YES
sells can pass through it; thence via
Lake Ontario and a canalized ST. Law
renee, to the sea. To give American
commerce equal facility a canal is not
enough--there must be a harbor and
harbor works. One has been voted for
Jamaica Bay, although little has been
done; but there must be another harbor
at Oswego.
The creation ofsa great waterway ef-
fectively linking the Great Lakes and the
sea should be national task. But the
burden has been assumed by New York
and must continue to be carried, in nll
probability, by the state. And there
mutt be haste if great trade is not to
be diverted in the early future. 1t is
time for all parts of the state to unite
to promote the terminal projects, and
thus to make usable the canal on which
a vast sum has been expended Super
intendent Walsh has issued needed
warning.

Language and Nationalisrs,

In seven American states the legis-
latures have passed laws forbiddng the
use Of German or other foreign Ian
guages in the elementary schools. Sim.
ilar legislation has been under considera
tion in seventeen other states The de-
sire to exclude instruction in alien
tongues is natural reaction from war
conditions. 1t represents an impulse
toward naturalization.
The current seems to be running the
other way in Paris. The treaty with
Austria which the conferrees are COM
pleting seeks to compel Rumania, for in
stance, co-equal In sovereignty with
the other Allied powers, to surrender the
right to say what language shall be
used In her schools. Similar restrictions
are to be imposed on Poland, Jugo-Slavia
and Czecho- -Slovakia. The league of ma
tions is to be the arbiter of disputes over
the use of competing languages.
Would the government Of the United
States submit to such an arbitrar,ent?
The claims Of nationality and interna-
tionalism are coming into sharp conflict
over this question. Which will prevail?
Or will there be one rule for some pow-
ers and different rule for others?

The Voracious "Big Five"

The Federal Trade Commission in a
special report shows to what extent tho,
big Five" Of the meat packing industry
are permeating the business of purvey-
ing all kinds Of food. The "Big Five"
jointly or separately, now control 574
companies, have minority in ninety-fvc
others, and have what is called an "un-
determined interest" in ninety-three
more. The packers now deal in such
various commodities as fresh tomatoes
and banjo strings, leather and cottonseed
oil, grape juice, curled hair, pepsin,
breakfast foods and washing powders.
Thus branch houses are not only stations
for the distribution of meat and poultry,
but are wholesale grocery houses, and
besides groceries they handle ice, salt,
fertilizers, butter, eggs, rice, grains and
countless other articles. The invasion
has arrived with inundating force. The
combined sales were above S3,OOO,COO
600 last year, and go up about billion a
year.
The Trade Commission is strong on
description Of conditions but weak on
prescription Of remedies. There is talk
of illegal combinations and rebates, but
this is old stuff, and experience has sadly
shown that the disease of bigness is not
removed when there are successful anti
trust suits or q cessation of special trans
portation privileges. The packers thrive
chiefly through the economies incident to
doing business on large scale and with
perfected means.
The packers are unpopular, but even
more unpopular are high prices of food.
1t the packers give more for less they
will get the customers, and railing at
unfair competition will not head them off.
If other food distributors would keen the
packers within bounds they must de-
velop ways of lessening the margin be-
tween what is paid to producers and what
is charged to consumers On this vital
problem the commission is practically
sllent-has apparently nothing con-
structive to offer-and this means that
its report, while interesting, is of little
practical value.

Hating Music

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Nearly every one gives his children
a few music lessons to see if they are musi-
cal or not The mistake that is usually
made by the parents is that Of saying
that they will begin the children with
cheap teacher and then later on give them
to better teacher if they show any talent.
The big point is to find out if the chill
dren are musical or not. Now, to prove
this the teacher must be thoroughly trained
in his worl. and have had considerable ex-
perlencc. He must know how to secure the
interest of the children from the first
lesson, and he must be familiar with the
best proven means of gaining the results
he Is working for without turning the chill
dren against music. Many grown up people
have confessed to me that they do not
care much for music because their first
and only teacher gave them "hate on
music" at their first lesson. Parents fnd
1t hard to realize that the first lessons are
far more important than the advanced
ones, and they cannot understand how
much thought and study it takes before
the teacher is prepared tosgive them.

The Process of Ratification

President Wilson was evidently sneak
ing In recondite sense when he said that
a two-thirds vote would be required to
qualify or alter the peace treaty. The
rules and practice Of the Senate admit
OF amendment, qualification and reserva-
ton by majority vote. A two-thirds .
vote is necessary at only two stages of
the consideration of treaty-on the
final resolution of ratification and ON a
motion for indefinite postponement.
What the President evidently had in
mind was that the ratification Of the
treaty, after it had been qualified or
altered, might be defeated by a minority
exceeding one-third of the members.
present. In that sense the modification
effected by bare majority must be
approved eventually by two thirds ma
Jorlty. But in order to annul the modi-
fcations made the minority opposing
them would be obliged to vote to reject
the treaty.
1t is not yet certain that the Admin
1stration wants to push it's programme
OF ratification, without additions or sub
fractions, ito the point OF killing the
treaty. Yet that is the logic of the con-
tention against alteration in case ma
Jority of the Senate decides to alter.
Mr.. Phelan suggested the predicament
OF the "sign here" Senators when he
said rather obviously:
II should think that the Senate should
be allowed to vote the treaty with or
without amendments. BY no rule could
the Senate be denied the right to vote
for the league in its purity; in other
words, the majority could not force the
Senate to vote for an amended treaty
and nothing else"
Yet it is clearly within the power of
q majority of the Senate to determine
whether the league covenant shall be
voted on "in it's purity" or as altered
and qualified with the purpose of better
protecting the interests Of the United
States. A majority can force the SEN
ate TO vote on an unamended treaty and
nothing else or to vote on an "amended"
treaty and nothing else.
In a letter published elsewhere on this
page Mr.. George W. Wickersham calls
attention to a reservation" supposed to
be attached by majority vote to tho
treaty with Spain ratified in 1899. This
was the famous McEnery resolution,
passed by the Senate in Difference to tho
wishes Of the senior Senator from Louisi-
ana. He had voted for the treaty, and If
he had voted against 1t it would have
failed. The resolution was, however, no
part OF the treaty. twas separate leg
1slative act-a mere declaration Of opin-
ion on the part Of Congress (for the House
Of Representatives also passed it). The
Supreme Court naturally held that it
was in no legal sense an Interpretation
or qualification Of the Treaty of Paris.
| TO attain such Astatus it would lave
had to be inserted in the ratification
resolution by majority action and then
consented to by two thirds.
This iynpltsAtiar that minority may
prevent ratification. with xeseryat tions In
New-York tribune., 1919-07-12

has taken peculiar turn. 1t Is denied
that the Monroe Doctrine Is impaired or
that we are committed to unwilling par
ticipation in wars, or that we guaran-
tee national boundaries, or that there is
any real limitation on the right Of free
withdrawal. The controversy is thus be-
tween those who hold certain things
should be made explicit and those who
hold they are already implied. AS a GER
tain animal is said to cut its own THROAT
when swimming, so the opponents Of
reservation seem to cut the throat of
their own argument when they assert
that the agreement comes to the same
thing whether or not reservations are
made.
The residue of the debate Is as to
whether other nations will so object to
our reservations as to withdraw or with
hold ratification, at cost Of prolonging
the period Of nominal war. Not shred
Of evidence is furnished that they will.
Even now arrangements are being made
to lift blockades and to resume trade
Our State Department, it is said, will
make a formal announcement within
forty-eight hours Of the resumption of
commercial relations with Germany.
If we say we shall construe the covenant
as outlined in q ratification resolution,
we may expect a tacit assent such as
met our reservations to the Hague and
Algeciras treaties. No formality Is re-
quired, as Henry W. Taft admitted in a
recent article. Reservations by us do
not require other countries to accept
them as the true ones-they are merely
binding on our courts and set forth the
way we understand the covenant.
No persuasive reason has yet been ad-
duced as to why any one should object
to the proposed reservations. What life
the league has it would still have. The
league would still be a going concern,
for no one would reserve" against NAM
ing representatives, or the assemblage
of the conferences, or the performance
of the administrative acts laid on the
leagues council. The league would
function under one kind of ratification
as freely as under the other. The only
difference would be that our people and
the world would know our attitude tow
ard attempts to interpret the covenant
as confding control of our DESTINY to
alien hands.
If this nation would lead the world, as
we are told it should and may, the best
course for it to pursue is the honest one
OF declaring our purposes openly and
lucidly.
New-York tribune., 1919-07-12

dicates swift change of programme on
the part Of the Administration. In the
Presidents absence the argument has
been made much Of that any delay in
ratification would prevent the resump
tion Of trading with Germany. On that
ground the Senate was urged to over
look imperfections in the draft of the
covenant and to approve it on sight
Now the President announces that
trade may be resumed before ratifica-
tion on our part occurs In that case
the appeal for urgency loses its force.

Well, just as we thought, the President
went to, Keith's Thursday night. When we
saw the President, at Keiths or at some
other theatre, where motley was the wear,
we marked how frequently he laughed, how
low his boiling point was. But it is hard
for so unversed psychologist as ourself to
determine whether he laughs because he
actually considers what he hears funny or
because he knows he is being watched, and
not to laugh would show the superiority,
having which, he does not want the people
to know he has. And so, we dope it,
he laughs, lest he seem to think the stuff
isn't funny, which, in most instances, it GER
tainy isn't.

news, but to us it seems important-were
