Pay at a Free College

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me to call your atten-
tion to the present system at the eve
ming session, College of the City of
New York, which demands q certain
sum Of money for education. 1t is my
conception that this is a free college,
and l do not understand why one must
pay tuition in such college. Young
men and young women desiring to
secure an education are bound to paw
exorbitant sums for such education,
which the average young man and
woman cannot pay, and they are forced
to abandon their education due to this
autocratic system. Such a system is
detriment to the city and state at
large and eventually leads to rad-
calism.
There are young men and young
women paying from $50 to $40 tuition
for an education in this free college
at the evening sessions in the down
town branch. whereas pupils in the day
sessions are securing such education
free. NY.

Excess Profits and the Housing
Brooklyn, Sept. 10, 1920.


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Apparently there is a rnisun-
derstanding of my suggestion published
in this mornings Tribune.
It was not my intention that the
privilege should be limited to owners
of buildings. AS you say, that would
be of little service. 1t should be
granted to all taxpayers subject to the
excess profits tax.
1t is estimated that this tax for
1920 will be s1,7oo, 100000 1t is incon-
ceivable that any taxpayer would not
take advantage of the privilege, and II
to secure it the dwellings must be
completed not later than the year in
which the income accrued on which
the tax would have been assessed
there would be built in 1921 under the
proposed amendment approximately
100000 dwellings. N. A. D.

Rewriting Article Z
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Ninety per cent of the difficulty
and error in the famous "heart of the
covenant" Article x of the league
treaty, hangs on the single word "pre-
serve" 1t is necessary to reprint the
article to prove this.
Article X-"The members of the
league undertake to respect and pre-
serve as against external aggression
the territorial integrity and existing
political independence of all mem.
bers Of the league. In case of any
such aggression or in case of any
threat or danger Of such aggression
the council shall advise upon the
means by which the obligation shall
be fulfilled"
This one word "preserve'' makes the
obligation both morally and legally
binding upon all nations who ratify the
treaty. Omitting this one word and
rewriting the article as follows we ac-
complish all the desired objects and
the United States could constitution
ally ratify this article:
NEW ARTICLE X.

gity and existing political jndepend-

Kept Out of Peace

Complaining of Senator Harding,
The Times finds fault with his ideas
of consulting the Senate before nego-
tlating a new covenant. The public
is told that uniform practice and
opinion in this country have created
the belief that the Senate exercises
its function of treaty-making power
only after treaties have been nego-
tiated."
Our neighbor, of course, knows
better than this-is aware that it
has been the prevailing practice of
Presidents to consult the Senate.
Washington attended executive ses-
slons of the Senate when treaties
were under consideration. There is
even yet on its dais a special chair
for the use Of the President. And
the Senate rules still provide for his
reception.
In President Madison's time the
Senate passed a resolution request
ing the attendance of the President
to consult on foreign affairs. Later,
as the Senate grew in size and it be-
came inconvenient to consult the
Senate as whole, other machinery
Of consultation was devised. The
Secretary Of State, the Presidents
agent, conferred with the Foreign
Relations committees, including rep
resentatives OF both parties. On
commissions to negotiate treaties
prominent Senators were invariably
appointed. True, the President no
longer consulted the Senate inte-
orally, but effective consultation was
nevertheless achieved. President
Polk was the only predecessor Of
President Wilson clearly to hold that
the Senate was to know nothing Of
treaty until submitted for ratifca-
tion, and he was compelled to recede
from his position.
President Wilson, instead Of fol-
lowing uniform practice, ignored it.
He did this although warned against
an attempt to reduce the Senate's
treaty power to nullity, and though
aware that he greatly increased the
difficulty Of getting the treaty rati-
fied-never an easy task in view of
the two-thirds majority required.
But he stubbornly preferred uphold
ing his conception Of his proper au-
thority," as he called it, to getting
results. His course was not only
contrary to the Constitution and to
custom but to common sense.
1t took many acts by President
Wilgon to keep us out Of peace. His

The 7ime TO Fight Is Now
4 Call for Organisation 10 Oppose
Strikers Against Public
To the Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The inconvenience and trouble
to which thousands, if not millions, of
people have been put for the last two
weeks lead me to suggest that Ameri-
cans ought to wake up and once and for
ever crush out any association which
interferes with the general public.
"The Citizens Strike Association of
America" would be good name with
which to start an organization to free
US from our present as we'll as our future
nulsances, its principles to be to take
the initiative against any person or as
soclation which deprives or impairs s.
citizen Of his privileges of convenience.
There could be two classes of men,
bers, active and associate; active men,
bers to pledge themselves to take the
place of any striker for the duration of
the period, and associate members to use
their influence in every way to dis
courage and overthrow strikes. Of
course, such an association would act
only where the public is affected.
1t seems to me that every full red
blooded American ought to be glad to
join such an association (call it what
name you willy which will rid us of
such conditions as the present, where
you or have to either wait, walk or
pay an overcharge to 60 to work.
An individual or association which 80
annoys should be destroyed
The Bolshcvist utterances of the lead
ers of the present strike ought not to
go unpublished, and we as Americans
should arise and cry Halt! Surely ten
thousand or less men must not and
shall not control and prevent one million
or more people from travelling in peace
and safety.
Sometime and somewhere we must
organize and put down this curse not
only in the interest of the public but of
the principles of Americanism. Let that
time be now. One of the common
people, ALEXANDER M'NICHOLL.

Two Philanthropists
Editor Of The Tribune.

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The East Side has truly been the
chief beneficiary of Mr.. and Mrs. Nathan
Strauss generosity, and consequently
feel justified in adding our public
tribute of loving devotion and eternal
gratitude to these two noble and ardent
souls who have dedicated their lives
for the amelioration of the conditions
OF the poor and needy, the naked and
outcast, the prodigal and broken
hearted, especially in the direction Of
saving helpless babies from an un-
timely grave.
For a quarter Of century Mr.,
Straus' has labored with unaagging
zeal in the promotion of his milk pas
teurlzation plan, which constitutes the
most notable contribution to the pro-
gressive thought of mankind. Thouph
at times discounted and discouraged,
ne always returned to the charge, for
Ne reposed unbounded faith in human
lty and entertained the ultimate belief
IN the triumph of his cause.
The Straus plant, although under
municipal operation, will not, I am
sure, cease in any sense to receive
that wholehearted enthusiasm which
Mr.. sStraus has manifested in this
godly movement. The breadth and
profundity of his undertakings, his
generous nature and sunshiny disposi-
tion, his sturdy defense Of truth and
his eagerness to respond to the cry Of
suffering humanity, all Of these con-
spire to stamp him as the loftiest
philanthropist Of the twentieth GEN.

Clogged Drain Pipes

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your correspondent who signs
East Orange under the caption "The
Ingenious Plumber" may be easily
freed from a similar experience. Drain
pipes are clogged by grease hardening
in the pipes; also at times by vegetable
peeling or rags being allowed to enter
the pipe.
AS live four and one-half miles
from the nearest plumber, l have
learned q few things. There is a pipe
cleanser, obtainable in almost every
plumbers shop and sold at 81 per can,
with full directions that any person of
ordinary intelligence can follow and
clean drain pipes effectually. One of my
competent servants" to dispose of u
mop that she no longer priced, threw it
in the toilet--with results that were
most annoying. finally cleared the pipe
by the use of this acid, which will eat
all fabrics. Had I not known of it I
suppose the plumber would have taken
out all the drain. I never knew a
plumber to use this pipe cleanser.
