What is to be done with Bolivia7
She was signatory Of the Yer
sailles treaty and is entitled to mem
bership in the league. Will the Ad-
ministration try to blacklist her new
provisional government and to in
duce the European powers to follow
suit? Not long ago there was a
revolution in Peru--apparently a
justifiable one. The State Depart
ment recognized the new govern
ment, but didn't withdraw the anti
revolutionary edict. Possibly it will
be, equally complaisant with Bolivia,
not letting the right hand know what
the left hand is doing. But two in
advertences of this sort constitute a
habit. 1t would be more sensible to
allow or withhold recognition on it's
merits and openly annul State De-
partment bylaw which has never
had any sound basis in international
law or in American practice.

The Shamrock's Victory

Flashes of lightning and rain
squall after rain squall gave an
ominous start to yesterdays Cup con-
test, and the sudden collapse of the
Resolute after having worked out a
commanding lead. ended one of the
most unsatisfactory of yacht races.
The Shamrock stood the strain of
wet canvas and thrashing sea and
the Resolute did not. Therefore, the
Shamrock deserved to win and
hearty congratulations go to Sir
Thomas Upton, Skipper Burton and
Designer Nicholson. 1t is the first
test of yacht to stand up under
weather and carry through race
to the finish. The Shamrock is
stanchly built, it would seem, with an
ample factor of safety in rigging
and hull-and this. despite her tow
ering rig.
Leaving the question of stanch-
ness to one side, there is every rea-
son to rate the Resolute the faster
boat in any ordinary weather. There
were tricky shifts of wind yesterday.
The Resolute had the advantage of
much better start and smarter
handling throughout-or, at least,
up to the time Of the unfortunate
accident. With any allowance for
these factors, however, the boat for
boat superiority of the Herreshoff
craft stands out; at any rate, it
seems most unlikely that the Sham
rock can ever succeed in beating her
by the time allowance of seven min
utes and one second.
There remains for Americans the
unpleasant query whether the Reso-
lutte can hold together for the races.
There was not even a stiff breeze
yesterday; for the most part the
race was sailed in typical Sandy
Hook weather, lumpy sea and Stat
ting sails. What will happen in a
real blow? That is the serious oues-
ton left to be decided.

Coiled in the Flag

Those who engineered and COM
passed the discharge Of John L..
Tildsley, associate superintendent in
charge of the city high schools, have
declined to give reasons for their
extraordinary action.
But nothing is concealed by the
lack of an explanation. Every one
knows why DR.. Tildsley is dismissed.
1t is because he fronted and smote
the snake of reasonable sedition in
the teaching force under his charge.
Hearst has little liking for those
who were, zealously patriotic a couple
of years ago, and Hearst has influ-
ence with Hylan and Hylan with
the Board of Education.
The charge that DR.. Tildsley sup
pressed the legitimate exercise of
free speech in the schools is, of
course, a SANDER. His only quarrel
was with those who abused the priv
lege of their public positions to in
culcate Bolshevism and to preach in
favor Of a forcible overthrow of our
democratic institutions. AS trustee
for the parents, who were justly
alarmed by what their children told
them was taught in the schools, he
acted as he was bound to act.
The public, of course, expected
that the teachers who were sepa-
rated from their positions because
contumacious of the fundamentals
Of Americanism would come sneak
ing and snivelling back. 1t also was
expected that pro-Germans and SYM
pathizers with Leninism would rail
at DR.. Tildsley as a Torquemada.
But it is a surprise that in less than
two years from the time when
American boys were dying to defend
American ideals the enemies Of these
ideals would have the power in this
city to strike down one Of their most
conspicuous champions.

The Irish Republic
TO the Editor of The Tribune

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l should like, if I may, to ease
the mind of your correspondent. Leila
F. Bailey, who views with such alarm
the so-called Irish propaganda.
To begin with, she seems to be I'M
acquainted with the fact that It is not
alone the Irish who advocate an Irish
republic. Such un-Irish bodies as the
American Federation of Labor and the
Socialist party, and (wonder of won
ders!) certain elements in British labor
are as vociferous in their protestations
as the most rabid Sim Feiner.
The point she misses altogether is that
the people in this country, of whatever
nationality, who favor an Irish repub-
lie. do so as 100 per cent Americans.
Surely it is typically American to be-
friend downtrodden people struggling
for freedom, especially when the OPP
pressor is the same from whom we won
our freedom. 1t is hardly the American
way to sit idly by and view the spectacle
of republic supported by 80 per cent
of its constituents disbarred from func-
tioning solely through the unyielding
arrogance of selfish nation and the
childish intractabilty of a pampered
minority. This, too, in face of the fact
that the Irish republic is giving ample
proof Gas evidenced in it's handling
Of civil actions) of its ability to settle
forever the Irish question

So
Bolivia's Revolution

.. The Bolivian revolution compli-
1cates.a already strained situation in
South America. The deposed Guerra
government was friendly to Chile
and somewhat unfriendly to Peru.
r Guerra had come to an understand
ing with Chile to ask for sea out
let through africa, port taken from
Peru after the nitrate war. The
r new revolutionary government, ac-
cording to DR.. Jose Maria Escalier,
the chief of the revolving Repub-
licanl party, will annul the africa
negotiations and ask for sea exit
through Antofagasta, port lost to
Chile by Bolivia. The change in
policy at La Paz promises to bring
Bolivia and Peru much closer to-
gether. Chile has responded by
calling 10000 northern district
5 troops. to the colors. The long un-
settled Tacna-Arica dispute may now
enter a new and critical phase.
Another issue - concerning the
United States aloue-is raised by
the Bolivian upset. Our State De-
partment made an arbitrary ruling
three or four years ago to the effect
that the United States would refuse
to recognize any Latin-American
government coming into power
through revolution. This was an
attempt to apply an article in an
aborted Pan-American treaty favored
by President Wilson and Mr.. Lam
sing. The article in questionable
progenitor of Article x of the
League Of Nations covenant-guar-
santeed all existing Pan~American
governments against revolutionary

nary canvas Of them all--there is the
loyalty to mine, not at all as a
wealth producer, but as symbol Of
civilizations struggle against re-
fractory nature and primitive, hos
tile man allied with nature.
In all this writing Of Conrad is the
hand of nature felt, whether the
force be fire or typhoon or those
treacheries Of human nature which
man must defy equally with tempest
and decay. Nature bestirs all the
combative nobility and beauty of
man, and at the same time holds him
humble and simple, true to those 10y
alties without which he must perish,
and wasting neither time nor energy
on that life of phantasy and mirage
to which the detached thinker in his
protected tower can give his being.
There is no hint Of right or wrong
or choice in all this. The question
is of deep, unconscious instincts
which make friends and families
and nations loyal and by which alone
the human race has thus far sur
vived. All romance is in the facts.
And all realism. What better coun-
sellor than Joseph Conrad could we
choose for these days of taking
sights, now that the storm is blown
away and we can once more attempt
to plot our course?
