Lack of teamwork at Washington
IS disclosed in the announcement
that the War Department has sue
cceded in taking away from the
Shipping Board five of the former
German-owned piers in Hoboken.
The Shipping Board needs these
piers as terminals for South Amer

wants some Of them for its trans

over others to the government-own

Collapsed

Leon Bourgeois, who happens to
be president of the Council of the
League of Nations, says in mes
sage to the American people that he
does not regard Article X as inn
portant to the leaguc-that at could
be eliminated without in any way
modifying the effectiveness of the
league"
Instead of being heart, Article
X is scarcely leg, an arm, a hand
or even finger. President Wilson
has been mislnformed. When Sena-
tor Harding asks for the elision of
the article he is not stopping the
league idea, CT even the covenant
scheme.
Is NJ. Bourgeois one of the "spokes-
men" for France recently denounced
as intensely wicked? Is he one of
those guilty Of a breach of faith
Is the proper place for him a pill
lory? Can it be that Senator Har-
ding was not falsifier, but had in
formation which had not reached
official Washington?
NJ. Bourgeois does not mince his
words. AS representative of France,
he wishes the American people to
understand that what they have been
told is not true. What will be done
to this eminent friend Of peace?
Will it be urged that he be at once
boiled in oil?
And what punishment is to be ad-
ministered to the renegade Demo-
Gratis of Georgia who have had the
temerity to Instruct their Senators
to vote against the ratification of the
Wilson league And what is to be
done to DR.. Paul Reinsch, Demo-
cratic candidate for Senator in Wis
consin, who resigned his post as AM
bassador to China because he would
not countenance the Shantung trans
action, and declares he will not vote
for ratification except with reser-
vatons?
Has there ever been such a polit-
ical collapse as has come to the
Wilson-CoX program?

The Succession in Greece

Venizelos is reported to have said
when young King Alexander was
seated on the throne in succession to
Constantine that this would be
Greece's last experiment with roy
atty. Alexander proved to be en-
tirely docile, caring little or nothing
about the royal prerogatives. He
violated the first canon of monarchi-
cal theory by marrying commoner.
Venizelos now seems to have mod
flied his original opinion about the
Inconvenience of a reigning Greek
house. 1t is officially announced in
Athens that the crown will be offered
to Prince Paul, Constantine's third
son. This son sympathizes with his
fathers views, as, in fact, Alexander
did when he first mounted the throne.
But Paul will not be allowed to in
herit in his own right. He and his
family must first give guarantees,
two Of them being that Constantine,
who claims that he never really alb
dicated, will make cast iron abdica-
ton, and that George, former heir
apparent and strong PROF. German
during the war, will similarly re-
nounce all claims to the succession.
A regent will be installed while
negotiations with the royal family
are taking place. If these fail the
Danish line may end. Venizelos
holds club over Constantine, be-
cause the latter would like to draw a
pension in retirement and is said to
be financially embarrassed He was
headstrong and dangerous ruler,
and ruthlessly sacrificed Greek in
terests to his family relations and
personal prepossessions. 1t is essen
TALLY to Greece's welfare to get rid
of him for good, even if his descend
ants are allowed to tarry in Athens
a little while longer.
Venizelos is prudent, perhaps, in
wishing to allow the passions of the
war period to subside before Greece
turns to democratic form of gov
ernment. The Greeks are demo-
cratic people, and the monarchy has
no deep roots in the national life
But if Venizelos were to proclaim a
republic and take over it's presi-
dency, as he was compelled to do in
1916, when he established a pro-
Vlslonal government at Salonica in
order to defeat Constantinc's pro-
German plots, he would doubtless
reawaken old partisan enmities. He
may try to go ahead with the sub
stance Of democracy instead OF the
form. Greece will look to him, how
ever, not 70 any figurehead king, to
direct the enlarged Greek state which
his wisdom and energy have created
New-York tribune., 1920-10-27

There is evidence that Mr. Daniels
and the Administration will seek to
place the esponsibility for the Hay
tian frightfulness upon the shoul-
ders of few marines.
But Congress and the people will!
demand the truth and the whole
truth. Mr.. Daniels has already ex-
pressed his horror, denied knowledge
Of the facts, and stated that certain
reports should have been brought to
his attention long ago. AS a fact he
was informed, both verbally and by
official reports, in January, 1920
that conditions were bad. But Mr..
Daniels has way Of ignoring, los
ing or forgetting vitality important
documents and reports when it is to
his personal or political advantage
to shrk responsibility 1t will be
proved, in this case, that he was
warned many months ago. He
should have the manliness to admit
it, instead of side-stepping and
Blaming others.
If the Naval Court, under Dan
iels's orders, is restricted to an IN
uesti9atjon OF milito1y @cts, Con-
gNess will sec to it that this Admin
istration, Mr.. Daniels and Franklin
Roosevelt are brought to book for
the same autocratic rule in Hayti
which has existed, of late, in the
United States.
The days Of autocracy are num-
bered everywhere If Franklin
Roosevelt wrote the constitution of
Hayti, if the Navy Department con-
trolled the election Of a Haytian
President, withheld his salary in
order to force his submission, and
prevented the JIaytian Congress or
its civil government from assuming
their pro0cr functions, the response
bility for Havtian horrors rests
squarely upon the shoulders Of this
Administration. The marines are
not to blame.

Calvin Coolidge SAYS
From his address de1;reye1 Mt Cb1,

(from his address deliuered at Char
lottc, N. c., October o1, 19s0.)
The war has advanced women indus
trlally. 1t was unjust that she, when
contributing the same intelligence,
ability and energy, should have been
denied the rights, the pay and the
conditions Of work that were accorded
to man in the same employment and
the same quality and quantity output.
Discrimination is tyranny enfogced.
Woman is coming into her own. Jus
tice requires that her rights industri
ally be identical with those of man,
and that her reward for the same kind
of work shall be equal to what he re-
ceives. In no other way can justice
prevail. To fail IN this is un-American,
uneconomical and unwise; to do less,
repugnant to every sense Of fair play.

Real Democracy Under Harding

Sir: After consideration have de.

supporting the Administration policies.

Where Are the Democrats?

Where Are the Democrats?
To the Editor of The Tribune,
Sir: The writer has noticed that sew
eral travelling men have signfied their
intention of voting the Republican
ticket instead Of the Democratic one
they have always voted, and one trav-
eler in Connecticut asks, "Wherc arc
the Democrats ?"
AS travelling man and Democrat
who has had vote for thirty years
and who journeyed some 800 miles to
get home to vote for a man named Will
son back in 1912, I would like to saw
that the reason there are so few Demo-
cratic travelling men is because they are
so dlsgusted with what the sectional
crowd they helped to put into Office
has done in the name Of the Democratic
party that thcy hate to have any one
know they are Democrats, but watch
EN- vote on November 2, and believe
nc the votes will not be counted for
"Jim' either.
The writer believes that he is the
most disgustcd Democrat alive. cycsnt-
ing perhaps Colonel George Harvey and
Colonel Marsc Watterson, who really
ought to be so utterly disguised that
they would never no more vote as
Democrats. HENRY ALLEN.

Sir; | find 4 few otherwise sensible
men and women who say they are going
to vote for Cox because they want a

everything on this one point.

The Measure of Cox


Next to Wisconsin, whether it is
to continue, the most important issue
of the campaign, at least on its mega
tive side, relates to the matter of
what sort is Mr.. Cox.
Some thirty million pairs Of eyes
have been watching hinl-as many
minds have been shrewdly assessing
his character A dark horse when
nominated, he was little known to
the public. Most Of the information
about him was not to his discredit.
But there was curiosity to have a
more complete picture.
Mr.. Cox has been conspicuously
gyrating for four months. He has
made long tours, been gazed upon
and listened to, and has delivered
himself of a million words. From
these data the electorate has def
nitely made up it's mind-has taken
Mr.. CoX's number.
The judgment is not compliments
ary. 1t is that he is a fluent and
superficial politician who is not both
cred by convictions, and has not the
desire, or perhaps the ability, to
understand or be devoted to any spe-
cial set Of principles. His idea of
politics is apparently that it is a
game wherein the proficient do any
thing or say anything to be elected.
Henry Clay held he would rather be
right than President. Mr.. Cox, pro-
vided he can but be elected, is not
disposed to worry over being right.
He secured his nomination as a
wet and as more dissociated from
the Wilson Administratio than any
or his rivals. But, the prize won, the
French Lick group was given the
laugh and Mr.. Cox journeycd to
Washington to make his peace with
the President.
He plunged into the campaign as
a super-moralist. His heart palpi-
tated for the woes of the world, and
nothing would do but to accept the
covenant exactly as it had come
from Heaven.
Growing tired of chanting in this
way, Mr.. Cox next tried scandal.
He shouted that the wicked Repub-
licans were seeking to buy the cleo
tion. Bryan had seen d crown of
thorns about the brow of labor; out
doing him, Mr.. Cox saw a bayonet
of gold pressed into its heart
Scandal falling fiat, he went back
to morals once again, but without
the first iounce Something told
him that his affairs were not going
well, and he Topped to and fro be-
tween hatred of reservations and
tolerance Of them. With final
whlrl, after abusing Senator Lodge
in his best manner and making faces
at Harding, he finally landed as
practically Lodge rcscrvationist.
During his carly journeys, when
he could think Of nothing else to say,
Mr.. Cox occupied himself with de.
nounciug the hyphenatos. Thc> uar-
ding candidacy represented a foul
coalition of Germans, italians, Poles,
Serbs, Greeks. etc The public was
invited TO distrust every citizen Of
foreign birth A fierce Know-noth-
ING was Cox i'm this phase.
Now Mr. Cox, as recent issues Of
his newspaper attest. is on his
lnces to the so-called German Amer
leans. Won't they please vote fo,
hm9 Tie is their frIend-not Har
dire or Root, or Ioage. or Knox or

"he must know that it has been the
policy of that magazine to refuse casual
advertising growing out of the excess

studied the advertising columns of The
Dayton News he may have guessed that
the apparent policy of that newspaper
is to reject no advertising, no matter
what the patent medicine may be.
