Private ownership in industry is ex-
tinguished, but to get production
there is resort to what Trotzky,
pleading necessity as his excuse,
calls the militarization Of industry.
Herbert Spencer should be alive to
behold his predictions verified.
One must go far back to find the
prototype Of the present Soviet gov
ernment of Russia. The despots Of
Europe have usually been satisfied
to have \ monopoly Of military and
political power and have tolerated
freedom In industry. But ancient
Egypt furnishes a parallel. Lenins
is said to be a Czar; it would be
more accurate to say he is Pharaoh.
Russia's urban proletarians are in a
state Of slavery akin to that Of the
swart civilians Of Rameses.

The Primary Test

Chairman Stokes of New JERSEYS
Republican State Committee says he
will do what he can to induce all
candidates for delegates to the Re-
publican convention to announce
their choices for President when
filing their petitions.
The Presidential preference pri-
mary is needed this year. There
are many candidates, but so far no
distinct line of cleavage exists in the
party. There is hardly a flutter of
machine or anti-machine feeling.
The rivalry among the various as
pirants is not factional.
But it is highly desirable that
party sentiment should be crystal
lized more or less definitely before
the national convention meets. What
candidate is foremost in the minds
OF the rank and file? That fact
cannot be clearly determined at off,
cial or unofficial state conventions
In the primary states all delegates
receive their credentials from the
voters. Let 1he voters express their
wishes. What they do will greatly
enlighten the delegates from nom
primary states.
Until recently many of the candi-
dates have seemed disinclined to
seek for instructed delegations
through the primaries. But that
feeling of hesitation is wearing off
A candidate who has confidence in
himself ought not to shrink from as
broad test as possible of his nopu-
larity and availability. The more
primary contests the better.
The Republican National Conven-
tion this year will probably be a
truly deliberative body, since the le-
publican party has been eight years
out of power an cannot be SUBJ

The reasons for this decision seem

This Is not the time to locate the

The Noble Turk
he Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Like other nations that could
be named, the Turks may not be per-
feet in every way, but In one way, at
least, they represent the highest type
Of a civilized people. For more than
a thousand years they have prohibited
tho use Of intoxicating liquors. In
this land we are only Just seeing the
first beams Of the blazing sun Of ad-
vancement that has shone upon and
blessed the Turks for all these hun
dreds Of years. 1t has aided the growth
Of the deeply religious mind which dis
tinguishes the Turk.
1t would seem to fair-minded man
that the press of America and Europe
is controlled by the liquor interest.
They lie about the Turk because they
cannot sell him their vile concoctions.
Because he stands for the Koran, pro-
hibition and Mahomet as the equal
causes Of his glory and success, he Is
reviled and ridiculed. E. P. I.

Put All Women to Work

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Why Is 1t, in all our discussions
regarding Increased production, we
never make mention of the women
whose only "work" is In connection with
charity, which would not exist if we
had just social system? Are the little
children to increase their production and
these able-bodied women live in idleness ?
Those of us who have very small sal
aries are being so heavily taxed that
we are paying out money that ought to
go to the dentist, ETC., while we have to
drudge to keep in luxury people, mostly
women, who do nothing.
Instead of wearing out 80 per cent
OF the population to keep 10 per cent
in unnecessary luxury, let US make it
a disgrace for any adult to do no work.

Gunholders and Bondholders

Letters to The Tribune from ex-
service men express emphatic con-
demnation of the proposed war
eonus. The letters are, of course,
highly creditable to their writers
and indicate how fine is their spirit.
Men who put on khaki instinctively
Fecoll from agitating in their own
behalf with respect to money mat
tiers. They want no repetition Of
the scandals connected with the Civil
War pension legislation.
But, leaving sentiment aside and
considering only the claims of JUS
tice and the square deal, it is not
easy for civilian to make an argu-
ment satisfactory to himself against
the bonus. Try it and see. If YOU
are honest with yourself, and ac-
knowledge that in a republic there
hould be equality Of sacrifice bv
lzens, you will find it difficult to
1stify refusal to allot to service
men compensation that will only
partially MAKE them whole.

Recapturing the Subways

In the discussion at the City Hall
concerning the purchase Of the In
terborough's property by the city no
one deemed it worth while to refer
to the parts Of the operating con-
tract which provide for recapture.
On giving years notice the city
may, after ten years Of operation,
terminate the contract by paying 115
per cent Of the cost Of construction
and equipment, less depreciation
charges, etc., contributed by the COM
pany. At the end Of eleven years
the stipulated payment is 38-39ths
of 115 per cent; at the end of twelve
years S7-S9ths, and SO on down to
zero in forty-nine years. AS to the
elevated there are similar provisions
for lease cancellation and recapture.
Much near-info1mation of a mis-
leading nature has been published
concerning the company's great
profits. Such profits under the
Mitchel-McAneny contract are not
possible if the city exercises it's pur-
chase power. Speaking broadly, the
Interborough in the last contract
gave up the chance of large profits
for the certainty Of a smaller fixed
return.
One understands why the. Mayor,
who is. Interested in the subway
question to make political capital
out of it, wells the facts; but why
do the company's officers aid him
by a similar vagueness? Why, more
over, are the Comptroller and the
corporation unwilling to be fair and
open with the public?
New-York tribune., 1920-03-05
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In view Of tho general storm
Of protest against the Turk remaining
In Constantinople, would 1t not be
timely TO ask ourselves why, when de-
claring war on Germany, we did not
then declare war on Turkey also ?
Failing this, why did not our country
at least sever diplomatic relations with
the unspsakable Turk? And above all,
why did wa refuse to take q mandate
for Armenia when requested to do so
by the Allies7
Had our country taken Armenia un-
der her protection it would have mat
tered little IL tho Sultan had remained
in Constantinople or not. He would
then have been powerless to infiict his
tyrannies on the Christians and, with
our abundance of manpower and the
immense wealth that has been pouring
into our Golfers during the whole OF
the war period, this should have been
an easy undertaking for us.
Until now our nation has shown no
eagerness to fight the Turks. Be ii
said to their everlasting credit, the
French and British have done their ut
most. When one recalls the bleeding
shambles Of Gallipoli one can but feel
that we are taking a soft and easy
part in holding meetings over three
thousand miles from the danger zone
to send protest to the other war-worn
and financially exhausted powers. Hav-
ing refrained from exercising any
pressure on tho Turk ourselves, yet we
decide that it must be done.

In "Education During Adolescence"
by Ransom A. Mackie, we find shrewd
comment on the question Of required
reading. The author quotes DR.. G.
Stanley Hall, who writes:
"School pressure should not suppress
the instinct Of omnivorous reading,
which at this age sometimes prompts
the resolve to read encyclopedias, and
even libraries, or to sample everything
to be found in books at homo. Along
with but never suppressing it there
should be some stated reading, but this
should lay down only kinds Of reading
OK offer goodly number Of alternative
groups Of books and authors and per-
NIT wide liberty Of choice to both
teacher and pupil. Few triumphs of
the uniformitarians, who sacrifice in
dividual needs to mechanical conven-
icnce in dealing with youth in masses,
have been so sad as marking off and
standardizing a definite quantum Of
knowledge in this great field. The
wide acceptance of requirement books
and authors marks a pedagogic deca-
dence as one of the most disastrous
triumphs of mechanism and conven-
iencs over mental needs"
The news columns are common car
riers," writes Walter Lippmann in
Liberty and the News" (Harcourt.
Brace & Howe). "When those who
control them arrogats to themselves
the right to determine by their own
conscience what shall be reported and
for what purpose, democracy is un-
workable. Public opinion 10 blockaded.
For when people can no longer re-
pair to the best fountains for their
information,' then any ones guess and
any ones rumor, each mans hope and
each mans whim become the basis of
government. All that the sharpest
critics of democracy have alleged is
true, If there is no steady supply Of
trustworthy and relevant news. In

and disloyalty, panic and ultimate dis

selves What civilian will dare say
it was fair and keep out Of his

to pay taxes?
In war it has been the practice
to be more confederate of bond
holders than Of gunholders, but
there is no adequate reason why the

New-York tribune., 1920-03-05
Suffrage Delay

There is no possible doubt thaC tne
suffrage amendment will be ratified
It is certain of ratification by the
suffrage State of Washington, ane
will then have been approved BY
thirty-four states out of necessary
thirty-six states. 1t is inconceivable
that the other two states will not be
forthcoming. But will they ratify in
time to permit women to vote in the
Presidential primaries and the Pres
idential election Of this year? That
is the question of especial interest to
the women of America.
The states now considered avail
able possibilities (since West Vir-
ginia failed) are Vermont, Connecti-
cut and Delaware in the North and
North Carolina, Florida, Louisiana
and Tennessee in the South. The
suffrage workers have good hopes of
ultimate ratification in several Of
these Southern states, we under
stand. But the logical sources of
speedy ratification are obviously the
Republican states of the North. The
Republican party was foremost in
the vote upon the resolution of rati-
fcation in House and Senate. It is
only the solid Democratic South
which offers any real obstacle to
unanimous ratification by the forty
eight states.
There are obvious immediate polit-
ical reasons why Republican leaders
should unite in securing a ratihca-
ton of the suffrage amendment by
every Republican state. But the
larger reasons Of history and tradi-
tion are far stronger. The Republi-
can party has a record of liberalism
Of which every member Of it can be
justly proud. 1t was conceived in
liberty and dedicated to freedom
from it's birth. The enfranchising
Of women is long and significant
step in the development Of personal
freedom and a completion Of that
government by the people which our
first Republican President defined in
immortal words.
1t is fitting and proper that Re-
publican states should furnish as
they have the vast majority of rati-
fications of the suffrage amendment.
1t will be disappointment to the
party at large and opposed to every
tradition of the party if any Repub-
lican states delay the grant of the
ballot to women. The eyes of Re-
publicans are upon the Governors
and legislatures Of Vermont, Con-
necticut and Delaware. These states
should not only furnish the two
states necessary to ratification. They
should all ratify, and without delay.
The decisions of these men now as
sumo national importance. We can
not believe that they will consent to
stand as obstructionists to great
and wise reform upon which their
party and their country are unmis-
takably and overwhelmingly, after
prolonged debate, resolved.
