Although It appears from Lieut..
SIMPsoN's letter to the Mayor that
the Mayor wrote to him on the sub

ter does not appear textually in the
whole affair. Modest retirement by
Mr.. HYLAN In favor Of his secretary
results In bringing forward two letter
writer's who might otherwise have
scrubbed unseen. At least one of these,
Justice CALI.AaHAN. is now seen by a
discriminating public as a master Of
terse and direct writing.
These letters may also be valued by
future historians, shedding as thay do
strong light upon the minutie of
that which Mr.. wHALxN termed "a
sacred and glorious occasion" OF the
three phrases at issue. Justice GALA
CHAN and Lieut.. SIMPSON agree ex-
actly on two: "Oh, how hate to get
up In the morning." and 'Back to
Palm Beach; you are four hours late"
As to the third Of the remarks which
Yolleyed through the megaphone, JUS
tice CALLAaHAN says It was, "Has the
Mayor his silk bathing suit this morn

who ought to know, quotes himself as
having inquired, Have you your silk
bathing suit with you this morningi"

Destruction OF an Industry Has
Widely Felt Results.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Su: It
Is pleasant TO note that though liquor Is
not yet down and out an anti-tobacco
crusade is about to take the field. and
1t Is possible that statistics are being
prepared and plans laid by other high
brow humanItarians for further anti
crusades OF one sort or another.
ours is q wonderful country, but OF
late years we have contracted the habit
OF decentralization and criticism. and
this is leading TO changes OF very
problematical result and benefit.
Narrowing down to prohibition. and
assuming the absolute conquest OF drink,
the fact remains that an immense in
dustry will have been sffaced thereby,
and that thousands connected Herewith
will be injured. many financially ruined.
The tobacco industry Is very large.
and its elimination will create u similar
personal disaster.
Further anti movements seem capable
OF the same results. II Is clear that
one but one cannot see any possible
benefits through destruction.
The stone thrown into pond causes
widening ripple; and II ia already
seen that the destruction OF the liquor
industry IS going TO hurt many another
The destruction OF the tobacco In
iust1y rculd also do this, so that one
can predict that through anti movements
We can very thoroughly destroy the en-
tire business OF the country.
Prohibition and other anti move
ments are dangerous amputations they
should be avoided.

vinced that 1t is, and he has given

vinced that 1t Is, and he has given
deep study to the problem.
If the Government had no ships to
start with, Mr.. HUMEY's plan for an
American mercantile marine would
doubtless have small backing in Con-
gress. But with n mercantile marine
already on Its hands the Government
approaches the problem with an argu.
ment that certainly has some appeal
both to the business mind Of the ma
ton and to its sporting blood. Try.
Ing out the Hurley plan would give us
measurement Of our capacity as
world competitors in shipping. Try
ing It out is the only way we shall
ever absolutely know. An ounce of
experience Is worth a ton Of theory.
Any venture is q theory until It is
tried out
The question, then, is this--circum-
stanced as the Government Is, with
the ships on its hands, shall we put to
the test the American mercantile ma
rine? II so, now Is the time to do 1t,
and the Hurley plan may well be the
one on which to make the plunge. 1t
shows both vision and ingenuity. and,
tested. might vindicate itself.
An emphatically commendable fact
about Mr.. HuRLxr's position Is his
clear opposition to Government own
ership of an American mercantile ma
rine and his clear opposition to q
Government operated mercantile ma.
rine. While this Is true as concerns
European and Far Eastern competi-
ton, It is the understanding Of THE
Sun that Mr.. HUXLEY would not
stand 30 rigidly against subsidies or
some kind Of governmental aid in the
matter Of South American commerce,
provided the lines running to Central
ana South America offer promise Of
bringing these countries and our own
closer together.
And the way to bring them closer
together Is for our Government to
eliminate the space between No by
means & fast, fine passenger ships
as fine ships as there are in the
world. The cost-no matter what the
cost II we get the result. In such a
service. brilliantly and soundly car.
ried out, America can pay any price
and wisely pay It. On the other hand,
a half way good service would be q
waste Of money. and, worse even than
that a waste Of opportunity, a ma,
tional crime.

Tho Lid Hard Down on Open
Diplomacy.

The very first of President VII
SONS Fourteen Points Of January 8,
1918, was thus conceived and ex-
pressed by its illustrious author:
IL. Open covenants OF peace,
openly arrived at, after which there
shall be no private international I'M
derstand!ngs Of any kind. but dipio-
macy shall proceed always frankly
and in the public View"
If we may use without disrespect
a once favorite figure Of colloquial
speech, Point or Principle One Of the
Wilson Greed has gone where the
woodbine twineth.. 1t has dIsap-
peared alike from the theory and
practice Of the President In the MAX
ing Of Peoples Peace to terminate
the Peoples War. Since diplomacy
began Its career in the remotest ages
Of history there has been no diplo-
macy less open than his, less frank
in its proceedings, less accessible and
visible to the public view.
We note the circumstance not as a
novelty of news, for the unsurpa ssed
secrecy Of the process by which the
"open covenants OF peace" ore being
arrived at under his auspices in Paris
Is now fact of world notoriety. In
stead of openly arriving at open cove
nants Of peace by proceedings always
frank and always in the public view,
the negotiations to that end could not
be further from the fundamental prin-
ciple enunciated in Point One, could
not be more sedulously and systemat.
ically withheld from the sight and
knowledge even of those who have
the best right to see and know. II they
were conducted by President WILSON
and the two or three foreign diplo-
mats to whom he presumably commu-
nicates his real intentions in the dim
privacy of the inmost chamber of the
great pyramid Of KHUFU.

has been so readily sent to the scrap

the Fourteen together?

POEMS WORTH READING.
MY Cargo

The negro stevedores that tho steamer
took on at Jamaica are unloading
part Of the cargo at Cartagena,
Colombia
Some OF tho blacks wear shirts reduced
beyond tho stage of rags to
fine shredded fringe, while their
fragmsntary shoes cohere without
apparent reason.
Those operating the steam winches for
hoisting the heavy loads from the
hold start ana stop them with
handles like the controls OF auto
mobile gears;
But no velvet treaded touring cars or
purring limousines do these tat
tered chaufreurs drive.
Their clankinS. stamping engines ruth
lessly shatter the peace of this
sun stepped. lazy, South Ameri-
can port
Now they are discharsing a consign-
ment Of barbed wire wound on
wooden reels.
Tho stevedores below in tho hold push
the ugly gray rolls out into the
hoisting nets with bars OF wood,
to avoid wounonis lnefr hands.
Whenever one Of the fanged spools
lurches too near q workers legs,
he leaps nimbly out OF the way
as though evadins an angry
l. rattlesnake or ciawing cstamount
The men are clearly relieved to get the
last reel removed, and 60 to
handling plump sacks Of cocoa
and bales of print cloth as II
glad to hug their friendly. conf
Portable buiks.
And turn away wondering how much
OF tho barbed wire Of my own
cargo has yet to be removed.
For I know I carry an even more
varied ana strangely assorted
freight of character than the
ship:
The hurtful, hostile motive, impulse and
desire lurking there In the inner
places Of life. scarcely sxtricable
from the nobler elements.
Still nscsssitatlns wariness on the part
of those who approach. lest they
tear themselves against my barbs.
o quickly. then, may my souls cargo be
searched for tho last strand OF
the cruel wire OF selfishness and
ennity!
That henceforth may voyage with only
the invieoratinB. magnetic, glad
dening elements to be encoun-
tered.
So that those venturing into my hearts
hold may come unafraid. and re-
ceive no wound.
