In His Brothers. Keeping.

An insane Filipino confined in a
New York State hospital was discov-
cred to be leper and it was decided
to remove him to q lazaretto in the
Philippines.
1t was necessary to get permit
from the United States Government
and from each State through which
the leper had to pass on his way to
San Francisco. Permits had to be
asked from each railroad used in the
mans transportation. 1t took four
months to cover this routine. Then
the leper and his orderly were placed
in the sealed compartment of a, special
car and were not allowed TO leave 1t
until the end of the transcontinental
journey. What with the preparations,
the railroad fares and other expenses,
the cost Of sending the insane leper
to the distant isles must have run into
the thousands.
But nobody begrudges money neces.
sarily spent in worthy act of mercy.
A case like this merely calls atten-
ton to the advance humanity has
made since CAMS time. Man is his
brothers keeper whenever the brother
needs atteption. Some political theo-
rsts, however, proceed on the assump-
ton that most of the human race Is
as helpless as the insane Filipino.

SHOCKED BY THE RIOT.
Unhyphenated Americans Deplore the
Attack on the Union Club.

To THE NEW YoRK HERALD: A native
and resident of New York city. I cannot
but be shocked by the attack upon the
Union Club on Thanksgiving Day. a day
which Americans set apart for returning
thanks for the blessings poured upon our
country and not for mourning the wrongs
of another country. The affair moves me
to make these inquiries:
If the Irish flag may be carried by
those who engaged In this riot on Thanks
giving Day why may not other American
citizens without endangering their lives
and property, display the British flag on
private building in honor of the three
hundredth anniversary of the landing of
the Pilgrim Fathers, even though the
Pilgrim Fathers were Englishmen and
not Irishmen?
Are we to understand that the Ameri-
can people may celebrate the landing of
the founders of this nation only in such
ways as shall be approved by those
whom Thursdays rioters represent?
Is New York part of ireland or a
part of the United States?
Is it governed from Washington and
Albany or from Dublin and Cork?
In other words, is this the United
States of America or merely Greater Ire
land. as your report says Monsignor
Lavelle called it in his sermon to these
rioters?
Finally, how much more of this sort
of thing do you think unhyphenated
Americans will stand for?

Moving the Dead Line Down Town

When Inspector BYRNEs in the day
Of his highest repute as a policeman
in New York told thieves and conf
dence men he had drawn q dead line
would be subject to arrest on sight
he pitched on Fulton street as con-
veA mt boundary for the intensively
protected district.
Granted that one part of town Is
entitled to better protection from
criminals than another, the limitation
set by BYRNEs was logical. South of
Fulton street were the financial mar
kets, the greatest banks, the offices
of respectable brokers of nationwide
reputation with messengers carrying
millions in negotiable securities
through the streets every business day,
the headquarters of the gem and pre-
.cious metals trades. Below the dead
line the opportunities for swindles and
thefts were greater than above it, al
though inevitably such a division of
the town must be arbitrary.
For good many years BYBNEs's
dead line has been little more than an
expression only, and now new one
has been established. Strangely
enough, in setting up the LATEST boun-
Diary against criminals the police have
reduced the size of the area in which
they will exercise particular vigilance.
Instead of going north of Fulton
street they have gone south. Maiden
Lane is the southern limit of free
circulation for crooks.
The abandonment of Fulton street
as the uptown outpost Of the police Is
strange. because the buildings on this
street and in the area between 1t and
Maiden Lane shelter some of the
greatest jewelry houses in the coun-
try, which. because of the value and
easy portability of their wares, have
always been regarded as especially In
need of safeguarding. AS matter of
fact. the owners and managers of
these shops do not depend exclusively
on the police for protection. They
have their own guards, and any crook
who acts on the theory that moving
the dead line down town leaves him
free from observation In the district
north Of Maiden Lane is going to
learn something TO his discomfort.
1t will be a fine thing to make
Manhattan south of Maiden Lane safe
for honest men. When that has been
accomplished by the police they may
be In a position to extend their actlvi-
ties to other quarters.

Columbia, a Mighty University.

President BUFFERS annual report of
the activities of Columbia University,
which is published to-day, serves to
remind New York once more of the
huge size Of the great educational in
stitution on Morningside Heights.
It's physical plant occupies fifty-one
and two-thirds acres of land in the
city of New York, while Camp Co
lumbia, at Morris, Connecticut, in
cludes $50 acres.
The teaching staff, from professors
to clinical assistants, numbers 1,066
persons in 1920.
At the same time there are fifty
seven administrative officers not car
ried on the rolls as teachers, while
the names of twenty-seven emeritus
and retired officers appear on the uni
yersity records.
The student enrolment was: For
the winter and spring sessions, under
graduate students, Columbia and Bar
nard colleges, 1855; graduate and pro-
fessional students, 6,54S; summer SEES
sion, $3.50; extension courses, 1898.
This gives total of enrolled students
of all classes of 1896, which includes
1882 double registrations. From this
1t appears that the number of indi-
viduals receiving instruction from the
university is 2s,314.
In the academic year 1919-192O the
university conferred 2.10S degrees and
543 certificates and diplomas.
This brief and necessarily incom'
plete statistical survey of Columbia
University gives a comprehensive idea
of the stupendous size of the great
educational institution which has
played so fine a part in the history
of New York city and State, and
which to-day is exercising power
unexampled in its useful and hon
orable history.

paid to the excellence of its quality.
There is still one relic of the old
slave days left at the furnace, an old
negro, doc" HOLLOWAY, and of him
Mr.. MAcFARLANE writes:
HE is now far along in the SOS

Doc now and then, with pardon
able pride. brings out and exhibits to
the other negroes the document which
constitutes him freeholder of Stew

that:
"In consideration of long and
faithful service, Dover Iron Company
grants bargains and sells to Doc
HOLLOWAY, his heirs and assigns,
forever, a certain piece and parcel
of land in the Sixth Civil Dis
trict' sc.
Long and faithful! That's what
1t says.

Long and faithful!"
Mr.. MACFARLANE says that the old
stack, Doc HOLLOWAY and himself go
out of commission at the same time,
and that in considering his duty to
his county, community and fellow
workers he would be proud if he felt
he had as good right to say he had
rendered 'long and faithful service
as that old negro has.
Modern conditions require that the
old Dover furnace be abandoned and
that a new furnace be built in diff
ferent situation, with better trade fa-
cilities and new environment. The
iron may be the same, but Mr.. MAC
FARLANE adds, with as close an ap-
proach to an expression of regret as
cold type can convey, "the operation
will have lost its antique and unique
flavor

France Monifes Her Attitude Tow
ard Russia.

News that France would no longer
press the blockade against Russia
was to be expected as a sequel to the
defeat Of General WRANGEL and the
SCATTERING of the last hope that the
Soviet Government could he over
thrown by force from without. But
this can hardly be given as the rea-
son for Premier LEYGUEs's statement
that France will encourage her
tfadesmen to bend every effort In
competing with Britain and America
for Russian markets and concessions.
Apparently the French have been
badly fooled by the reported success
Of w. -. VANDERBILT in corralling the
PENINSULA of Kamchatka to the great
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of California. The
French Premier seems worried lest
the whole of Russia may be parcelled
out before France arrives on the
scene. Comrade LENINE does not en-
hearten Frenchmen by tactfully con.
firming VANDERLIP's enterprise and mt
the same time announcing new
"law" promising liberal rights to for
eign capitalists and eXempting their
investments from confscntion
Besides thisy recent dispatches have
reported that gold from the Soviets
originally consigned to the United
States Is being diverted to London.
There is no telling but that England
may contend that gold is gold, and If

so the collateral behind some 10000
600. 900 francs of FreT ch investments
in Russia would be in danger of dissi-
patton. The Vanderlip adventure may
be dismissed as nothing more than an
iridescent possibility, but there is no
element of doubt in the shipment of
Russian gold through Sweden. Some
of it has already arrived in. this
country.
France has made prodigious efforts
to stem the tide of Bolshevism, but
they have not effected the overthrow
of the Russian Soviet Government.
Yet there is no doubt that the efforts
of France have compelled the modi-
fication of Bolshevism even In its own
stronghold. 1t may be that France,
with her usual shrewd foresight, dis
Germs a turn for the better in Russian
affairs and Is getting ready for 1t.
This in fact Is the only plausible
theory for the sudden change in the
French attitude, for 1t would be be-
lifting the intelligence of Premier
LRYGUEs to infer that he has become
frightened by promises made to Amer
lean or English adventures by a
Soviet Government whose creed inn
putes no more harm to breaking a
promise to capitalistic outsiders than a
cannibal sees in eating his enemy.

A Sad Spectacle for an American
Thanksgiving Day.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: On our
way to family dinner on Thursday we,
like many other law abiding citizens. were
caught in the mob on Fifth avenue and
saw a sad spectacle for an American
Thanksgiving Day.
1t is time the best of the Irish cleaned
house. In this work all good citizens
who witnessed Thursdays mob violence
will be especially glad to lend their best
efforts. to unite for cleaner, saner
America. To those of us who have
America at heart it is evident this thing
must stop here. 1t is a time to protest,
and protest loudly. at such behavior
and wanton destruction of the property
of others.
My thanks to the Union Club officers
who refused to surrender the great
American principle of tolerance and the
right OF all to live in peace. We have
hope so long as men like these men live
among us.
Let the British flag blow, the French
flag also. Old Glory ever, but let these
Irish pull down their flag, which stands
for no republic let these Irish stop SELL
ing their bonds for a country that by
Thursdays sample knows no true repub-
lican spirit. When the Irish qualify
truly. let their true flag fly with the real
flags.
for one want to be among those who
protest and join to end the spirit mani
tested in this riot Let every decent
man, woman and child join to stop this
kind of violence. which will injure our
dear country sooner or later. Let us
make our highways open and safe for
one and all who behave. SUBSCRIBER.

Trade Trend Shift Due to Latin
American Depression.

September foreign trade figures
showing an increase in our exports
at time when the overseas markets
were badly demorallzed left the COM
mercial world at loss for an eXplana-
ton. The Department Of Commerce
statistics for October reveal a similar
situation with an increase of S147,-
100000 In exports, which reached
1852, 900, 600, compared with s605 ,000,-
600 in September and $579, 100000 in
August.
But, with the complete returns at
hand for September, classified by
countries, this sudden upward swing
In our exports and the sheer decline
In our imports from $513,000O0O in
August to 1868, 100000 in September
and 1852 100000 in October are clear
" disclosed as direct consequences Of
the depression In Central America and
South America.
Particularly in Latin America
credit has been stringent, and the in
ability to finance exports has concen-
trated European buying In our mar
kets and reduced our imports from
the States south Of us. September
was the first month since May in
which we had favorable balance In
our trade with Central America and
North America, including the West
Indies. The balance in May was
favorable by $36,000,OO0. In June 1t
shifted to a balance against us of
$40. 100000, which diminished to S27.-
600 700 in July, $S000,000 in August,
and again turned in our favor for the
month Of September by S63,00O0O0.
The foregoing changes were due al
most wholly to fluctuations In imports
from Latin America, September re-
cording drop of $60,OOO,00O in our
imports from that territory. $4,000
600 of the decrease being in purchases
from Cuba. Our trade with Canada
has been practically unchanged.
The chief articles furnished by
South America and Central America
and the West Indies are food and raw
materials, and In these our imports
declined S12S0O0,000 in September
alone. That Europe has been forced
to reduce her purchases in Latin
America and draw on our markets Is
shown by the increase Of $30.0OO.0O0
m our September exports of food and
raw materials at the same time that
our exports Of manufactures declined
by s11. 100000.
In these figures is TO be found not
only an explanation of the unexpected
change in our foreign trade but also
the reason for the heavy decline in

prices, amounting to per cent. in
October and @ per cent. in September,
a total of ID per cent, or more than
half the price slump of "a per cent.
since the high point of last February.
Our large crops provided an ample
supply for home consumption, obviat-
ing high priced food imports from
Central America and South America
and leaving a margin sufficient to fill
demands from foreign buyers usually
supplied by the countries now unable
to sell their stocks on credit.
