from the winters styles. There is

and more u la Russo. Helmets are

Red promises to be the favorite
propaganda color, but often subdued,
however, to what may be called

ence to counteract the horrible new
plans for the injury to Centra! Park
almost, If not quite, the worst yet. The
piece of water one man proposes ia
attack is un itself very beautiful and
useful as scenery, if for nothing else
That is, perhaps, enough, but if need
be it could be added as greenery to the
rest OF the park, for walks, drives,
etc. Ihls man seems to think a park
is building, and so proposes to make
over the reservoir into huge, active

while nominally they may write as
they please, the chance Of getting
anything out disagreeable to the.au-

The technique Of modern propa-

easier than for master Of the wires
and the wireless to fool the outside
world as to the true conditions with
in his country. Where the press is
strong and independent the censor
has his way only for a time. But
where, asTn Russia to-day, no press
freedom is allowed, a journalist, no
matter how honest his intentions, is
practically helpless. He has no op-
portunity to test the truth Of what
he is told by the government, and
tends to become merely megaphone.

if also other non productive industries

the fundamental principles of reason

The First Census Returns

One of the most interesting things
which the 1920 census figures will
show is the extent to which the
growth of the country's population
has been affected by the great slack
ening in immigration since 1914.
The New York State census Of 1915
indicated a marked decline in the
percentage of increase in this CITY.
How far has this reaction affected
other big cities?
The first two cities to report throw
little light on this question. Gin
cinnati's new total.4O1 ,15S-gives
an increase of 1913 per cent. But
Cincinnati has been growing very
slowly. Its rate of increase from
1890 to 1900 was 9.8 and from 1900
to 1910 11.8. The rate of increase
in the last ten years was normal.
Washington's population increased
from 331 ,069 to 4,248-a gain of
32.1 per cent. The capitals per-
ccntage of increase in the two pre-
ceding decades was 81 and 1873.
But Washington has had a forced
expansion during the war. 1t alb
serbs practically no foreign immi-
grafton. But it's war activities drew
heavily on all parts of the country.
Its accelerated ratio of growth is
due to political conditions, not to
industrial or commercial stimula-
ton. Its increase probably isn't any
more fair measure of the general
urban gain in the last decade than
Cincinnati's is,

Nith's Difficult Role

In the deadlock over Fiume one
European statesman has played a
part which entities him to great con-
sideration and sympathy. This states
man is the Italian Prime Minister,
Signor Nitti.
Nitti inherited the Fiume dispute
1t wasn't of his making. He is not a
chauvinist or imperialst. His politi-
cal prepossessions run the other way
He is an economist, and, like most
economists, he minimizes the value
of mere territorial expansion as such.
He prizes the economic development
of 1taly-a development far more
essential to Italy's future than un-
disputed political control of the east
shore of the Adriatic or the extension
of Italian sovereignty in Asia Minor.
Premier Nitti, seeing the need of
harmonizing Italian interests With
those of the other Western democra-
cies, has gone out of his way to show
desire for an Adriatic settlement
which will not antagonize French
prejudices in favor of Jugo-Slavia
or ruff1e President Wilson.
But in the Fiume dispute he has
to face the intensified nationalistic
sentiment of his countrymen. To
Italy Fiume has become a symbol.
The support given to D'Annunzio
cannot be argued away. The Italian
public regards abandonment of the
Italians Of Fiume to Jugo-Slav con-
troll as basely immoral.
Nitti, therefore, has been obliged
to ask for better terms than were
conceded to him in the Allied agree
ment of December 8, 1919. He does
SO as means Of preventing the
transfer of power to a ministry per-
haps aggressively anneXationist.
Italy went to the aid of the En-
tente when it needed aid sorely But
in the peace settlement her claims
haven't had very sympathetic hear
ing. To Americans generally it has
seemed unfair to withhold Fiume
from Italy. Serbia has been COM
pensated territorially far more
literally than Italy has been. The
American view is that if France and
Great Britain offer Italy a settle
ment which she can accept the
United States is not justified in
standing out against it.
1t is Nitti's misfortune that his
reasonable craftsmanship and con-
ciliatory attitude have not been ap-
preciated by our willful President.
Nitti has shown moderation under
very trying circumstances, yet the
Administration still denies him con-
sideration, and there are more or
less open threats that if he does not
bend the knee in a manner that
would convict him almost of treason
then Italy is to be choked economi-
cally by an arbitrary exercise of
Presidential power.
New-York tribune., 1920-02-24
The Best Hope of the Future

One sure cure for the uplift blues
is to attend Washington's Birth
day school session and watch the
next wave Of young Americans
making ready to sweep over us old
fogies (of twenty and upward) and
take up the job of running the uni
verse where we leave off.
Such a trip should be prescribed
for all uplifters at stated intervals.
1t is wholesome and invigorating
treatment for us all. After such an
hour ones responsibility for re-
molding the cosmos in the few
years allotted to US is distinctly
abated. Perspective corrects the
distortion of haste and anxiety. One
rerceives that even if ones own pet,
patent plan for readjusting society
is not adopted forthwith there is an
excellent chance that this fresh wave
of youth and enthusiasm - and the
endless waves thereafter-will COM
plete the labor we have just begun.
Or do a better labor, all it's own.
From such a chain of thought
there comes, too, a wholesome shift
of interest. Why try to reform the
world? - since it never can be re-
formed, anyway, in one generation
Should we not rather attend to the
real business of life, which is to run
the world as best we can, holding
fast to all that is best in it, and to
devote a large share Of our effort to
giving the oncoming generation a
flying start in it?
We are glad to see that the Public
Education Association has brought
to the front new project that looks
sensibly in this direction. It has
had introduced at Albany a bill
which would establish kindergarten
in any district upon the petition of
the parents OF twenty-five or more
children. In this city out of 125,OO0
children Of kindergarten age more
than Is per cent are not enrolled in
kindergartens. A large educational
factor is thus being neglected. The
important years from four to six are
getting neither Americanization nor
school influence. Is this too young
to begin to instill the basic ideas of
American life? To the contrary, they
are among the most valuable forma-
tive years. And, in addition, through
the children parents can be reached.
We are beginning to realize that
every day is of Importance in speed
ing up the processes of Americaniza-
ton, and we can conceive of few
things more effective upon alien
families than this early absorption
Of their children into our public
school system-still after all these
years the best hope of the perpetual
ton of our country in it's ancient
faith and vigor. We hope this in
teresting bill will receive the favor
able consideration it deserves.

ITS ADVANTAGE

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; May I offer the following to
the teacher salary investigation?
Do you know that since the Albany
Legislature, with wide publicity, granted
us more money to meet the high cost
of living our own Board of Education
has counteracted it by cutting down
our yearly increase? Can you muster
bit of sympathy if we "see red"?
For five years | received my increase

brought me up to $1,45O. | had had
four years of college, an A. NJ degree
from Columbia and year of substi-
tute teaching to make me worth it to
the city. I meet, in Individual classes,

Last year, when we were voted $500
to meet living costs, the payment was
deferred over three years, beginning IN
1920, to ease the city's financial strain.
The $500 was changed to $166 a year
for the next three years Most of us.
through our own financial strain. hav-
ing mother or wife to support, had
spent the $500 in 1919. But that is not

into my yearly increase of $15o, re-

In receiving the emergency increase
of $l66 | have lost 500 of my natural
increase, leaving me $66, hardly enough
to pay the difference in my school

Blood, Iron and Wine

Any county rejoicing in the name
Of Iron might be expected to present
a firm front against the invading
tyrant When the tyrant in ques-
ton is a hated "revenoor" and the
oppressed victim none other than
eleven barrels of real red wine as
saying not less than IA per cent of
alcohol the worst can be foreseen.
Rebellion" and revolution" seem
tame words for the necessary conse-
quences.
Nevertheless, the Prosecuting At
torney now denies that the county
is in "open revolt" and if present
signs come true the armed forces of
constabulary now marching to the
reseizure of the rescued eleven bar
rels will not face Minute Men at
every crossroads and an embattled
line of farmers or miners or any,
body. The great red wine rebellion
of Iron County seems destined to
go down into history as a smaller
item than it's famous ancestor, the
whisky insurrection of 1894, when
all western Pennsylvania upros
against the whisky imposts of the
new Federal government and put
President Washington and the
militia Of four neighboring states to
all kinds of bother-but very little
bloodshed.
AS matter of fact, while a great
many drinking men may feel like re-
voting in the present hour of their
detection, not many are likely to
commit what the law terms overt
acts. One may talk of spilling
blood for red wine, or even whisky.
A few reckless souls may actually
DO so. But the bulk of us prefer to
night for other causes. The prohibi-
tlon law is not popular in many
spots. 1t is especially unpopular in
regions where foreigners are in the
majority, and where neither the law

Pacihsm Still Oueer

1t is not surprising to learn that
MISS Jane Adams thinks the "Reds"
are beng prosecuted. Miss Adams,
noble worker for the practicalities
or humanltarianism that she is, has
3 mind that functions this way.
N the early days OF the war, when
the Belgians were being killed and
tortured, she was sure it was wicked
for them to resist-saw no difference
between war of otfense and de-
Tense. Yet one may be sure that if
Miss Addams saw a child being bru-
tally beaten by man she would f1y
to the assistance of the child and
interpose her body,
