To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: An item in The Tribune Of
July II states that British officials
at Bermuda have expressed regret
for the insult offered the American
flag by British sailors July A. The
message adds that the sailors who
took part in trampling upon the nag
have been heavily fined and sentenced
to terms of Imprisonment.
Apropos of the above, l should ike
to inquire of the readers OF The
Tribune their opinion Of the penalty
given the women who recently burned
the British flag publicly, in the city
of Washington, within stones throw
Of the White House. The same or
similar group of ladies" paraded WIN
banners bearing insolent inscriptions
in front of the British Embassy. ms
was done in the name Of American
women. Just plain American woman
would like to know how other Amer
lean women and men feel about the
insult offered the British flag and tne
British people. I should like TO navs
the guilty women heavily fined anu
sentenced to terms of Imprisonment"
What do you think?

Tar and Pitch
To the Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir The first, broadest and evidently
the most important plank in the Demo-
cratic platform is so full of knots as
to display slight skill in the selection
of timber from the Democratic lumber
yard. Attention was at once directed to
one of these disfguring knots, !. e..
that falsely accusing Senator Lodge of
double dealing; and We are informed
that the revised platform will have that
knot tarred and pitched. But the plat
form is built; that knotty plank is in it
and must remain. Tar it and pitch it
as the revisers may, that knot cannot be
obliterated
Both tar and pitch are unsavorv
materials; they are usually as black as
the Gle that is half TRUTH" as that
knot is. "a lie that is half truth is
ever the blacklist of lies. A lie which is
all lie may be met and fought with
outright. But a lie which is part a
truth is harder thing to fight" .

we are sure that, in her heart, she

sible.

The sporting writer's, those monu-
ments Of erudition who amaze US
with the mass Of their knowledge,
seem generally to agree that Reso.
lute's good showing is because Of the
superiority of her crew in team
work. Shamrock is new, and in
genuity exhausted itself in develop
ing her new speed devices. But
Resolute was more skillfully handled;
her canvas was spread or slowed
more nimbly; and so, though an
ancient hulk, she did that which
naval mathematicians demonstrated
she couldn't.
A lesson turks in the story.
What ails Russia? What is the
matter with other countries? What
is the cause of the restiveness
of America? Lack of teamwork.
Men and women, yielding to their
suspicious and MISLEADING superficial
veneers for real substances, have
said to themselves that perhaps,
after all, there was something in the
theory that an employer was neces-
sarily an enemy.
If computation could be made it
would doubtless appear that the
central dogma of Marx and its re-
flexes have done more material dam
age to the world than all the Ger
man shells. Men lost the habit of
keeping step. They were exhorted
SO to do, and listened.
Teamwork! This is what makes
production large even as it makes
yachts fast. 1t quadruples power
while diminishing individual ex-
penditure of effort. Do you want
real wages higher? Then display
teamwork Do you want prices
lower? Develop teamwork
Excessive profits, refusals to divide
fairly the products Of industry, a
buccaneering spirit that leads to the
capture Of galleons freighted with
the wealth other men create-these
things are regrettably present. All
except few Bourbons agree that
every method wit can devise should
be employed to counterpoise them.
But, after all, the little flched
through gimlet holes bored by self
ishness is noAling compared to the
waste that comes when hoops are
loosened and slaves smashed in. The
profteer fourishes in all kinds of
business weather, but the more,
rather, when it is stormy. The
average man cannot prosper except
when conditions are settled. So it's
teamwork that must be had-more
and more teamwork, and suppfes-
sion of all who oppose It's multiply
ing harmony.

Praise for Kenia Colony
4 MONKS Testimony Transmitted
via the Argonne Forest
70 the Editor of 1se Tribune.

To the Editor of Ese Tribune.
Sir: In regard to the statement Il
your editorial on "Kenia Colony" That
"only small part, about the sizs Of
Wales, is fit for settlement by whites
l would like to give you some informa4
ton, which, curiously enough, picked
up at Chatel Chehery. Argonne Forest,
in October. 1918. One day ran into
an interpreter belonging to the French
army and attached to the 18th Division,
operating on our left. This gentleman
was before the war (and ! hope is
again now. though life was uncertain
those days) monk missionary from
a French monastery in British East
Africa.
In the course of conversation he In.
formed me that there was an area big
ger than France of the best farming,
maize growing and cattle-raising las4
in the world in the colony; that the
climate was excellent and that it was
the best place in the world for young
white man with little capital and
taste for outdoor life The best proof
he offered was that his monastery had
experimental in growing coffee and had
been most successful. The reason cof-
fee grew so we'll there was the country
mostly consisted Of high uplands which,
needless to add, are also excellent for
white colonization. He also said that
the colonial government was most just
and ready to help coffee growers and
all planters to find market and trans
portation for their produce. We met
only for an hour. under most trying
circumstances.
l don't even remember his name. but
l have no reason to doubt his enthusi-
astic boost of Kenia Colony as one OF
the best virgin spots in the world,
capable of being colonized By millions
of white settlers.

"in many ways contrary to in
stinct." If the Bolsheviks fall, Pro-
fessor Russell declares, it will be for
the same reason for which the Puri-
tans fell--because there comes a
point at which men feel that amuse-
ment and ease are worth more than
all other goods put together.
OF the Pickwickian sense in which
high-sounding words of democracy
are used in Bolshevist Russia there
are other illustrations. Bo!shevism
is internally aristocratic and exter-
nally militant" Shades Of "The
Liberator,' "The New Republic" and
Emma Goldman The Communists
have "all the good and bad traits of
an aristocracy which is young and
vital" Is this the proletarian idyl
of which our young radicals write
SO emotionally and toward which
they would drive poor, prosaic CAPT
talistic America? The Communists,
little brothers of all the world in
their patter, are "dictatorial, lack
ing in ordinary consideration of the
plebs, such as their servants, whom
they overwork, or the people in the
streets, whose lives they endanger
by extraordinarily reckless motor
ing" They have better food, alone
have motor cars and telephones, and
possess the inside track to such
emoluments as railway tickets, per-
mits for purchases at the Soviet
stores (where prices are about one
fifth of what they are in the mar
ket), theater tickets and so on.
Exactly what does Bertrand Rus
sell conclude from these facts,
which plain, common-sense observers
have been reporting for months but
which the super-intellect of a philos-
opher was unable to credit until he
saw them face to face? We do not
wish to do any injustice to Professor
RusselPs conversion. Here are his
exact words touching the Lenine
theory that only bloody revolution
can advance the world:
"For my part, after weighing this
theory carefully and after admitting
the whole Of its indictment of
bourgeois capitalism, | find myself
definitely and strongly opposed to it,
The Third International is an or
ganization which exists to promote
the class war and to hasten the ad-
vent of revolution everywhere. My
objection is not that capitalism is
less bad than the Bolsheviks be-
lieve, but that socialism is less
good-at any rate, in the form which
can be brought about by war"
Having felt the fire of socialism,
Professor Russell realizes that even
the frying pan of capitalism has,
after all, it's good points.

Bertrand Russell Goes to Russia

1t is only few months ago that
Bertrand Russell, the British philos-
opher and radical, was completely
converted to Bolshevism. He depre-
Gated violence and hoped England
would achieve communism without
it. But such were the gains he fore
saw that he was willing to use any
means necessary to bring this Uto-
pia to England.
But, alas for theories, Bertrand
Russell has now been to Russia. He
accompanied the recent British labor
party mission to Soviet Russia. He
spent five days in Petrograd, eleven
in Moscow, Travelled down the Volga,
stopping among the peasants; had an
hours talk with Lenine, spent a
night in the country with Kamener,
and saw Trotzky in action at the
Moscow opera, calling for "three
cheers for our brave fellows at the
'front.'" like any other imperalist
leader.
And the facts have converted Pro-
fessor Russell, if not from commu-
nism at least from the revolution.
He is convinced that unlimited gore
is not safe road to the brotherhood
Of man. In an article in "The Lon
don Nation" he presents picture Of
Bolshevism that confirms all that the
most unfriendly critics have assert
ed of it. One of the first things he
discovered was the profound differ
ence" between the theories of actual
Bolsheviks and "the version Of those
theories current amorq advanced
Socialists in this country'-mcaning
England. Let the admirable prose
of Professor Russell speak for itself
Friends of Russia here think of
the dictatorship Of the proletariat as
merely new form Of representative
government, in which only working
men and women have votes and the
constituencies are partly occupation
al, not geographical. They think
that 'proletariat' means 'proletariat,'
but dictatorship does not quite
mean dictatorship This is the op-
posite Of the truth. When Russian
Communist speaks Of dictatorship he
means the word literally, but when
he speaks of the proletariat he
II
sense. He means the 'class-con-
scous' part of the proletariat-i. e.,
the Communist party. He includes
people by no means proletarian
(such as Lenine and Tchitcherin) who
have the right opinions. and he ex-
cludes such wage earners as have
not the right opinions, whom he
classifies as lackeys of the bourgeoi-
sic"
Interesting parallels are suggest
ed. The baser side of Bolshevism Is
declared to resemble most the Direc
toire Of the French Revolution. The
sincere Communists are lkened to
the Puritan soldiers under Crom-
we'll Cromwell's dealings with Par
Lament are compared to those of
Lenine with the Constituent Assem-
bly,. Both tried to make their coun-
tries live at "a higher level of moral
ity and effort than the population
found tolerable." Life in modern
Russia, as in Puritan England, Is

What Senator Sage Has Done

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: AS a Republican and because
| do not believe that the Democratic
party in New York State, with its
New York City affiliations and obliga-
tions, can give the state as whole as
economical, efficient and business-like
an administration as the Republican
party, | resent the implications con-
tanned in your editorial of Saturday
morning
The fact that Senator Sage happens
to come from Albany County and that
William Barnes jr. happens to have
some influence in the political affairs
of Albany County is merely a coinci-
dence. To attempt to say that these
two facts which are of no significance,
should bar Senator Sage from being
considered as the Republican candidate
for Governor of the State of New York
is not only farfetched but unfair
Senator Sage may not be as loud
mouthed as some alleged progressives,
who presumably will receive your sup
port for the nomination, judging by
the opening gun fred Saturday morn
ing. However, he is considered by all
who have intimate knowledge of the
affairs of the state to be the one man
who has stood head and shoulders
above all others in trying to see that
the state pot a dollars worth for ooon
dollar expended. and that so far as
possible two dollars worth in taxes be
not collected where only one dollar In
expenditure was necessary.
