After swearing for moro than
four months that it would never,
never, never sign that ubiquitous
rag" the Trsa&y Of Neuilly, the
Hungarian government last Friday
signed On ths dotted Limo. a. ordered
by tho Alies. In spite Of tho Allied
announcement that no negotiations
over the terms a. originally SUBJ
mitted would be entered into, the
squabble since February resulted in
a slight modification Of the condi-
tions tn Hunsary's favor, though
even the amended treaty is sewers
enough to warrant the general
mourning with which the signing
was celebrated at Budapest. Hun
gary loses over half Of her popula-
ton and two-thirds Of her territory,
and the economic clauses are crush
ing.
The ceremony at ths Grand Tria-
non Palace clears cut Of the way the
last Of tho treatiss in which the
United States Is directly concerned
However, only invsterate optimists
would assume that the signing
means that Tho paciAcAtion Of Cen
trail Europe has hssn accomplished.
The Hungarian government protests
that IL viii loyalty adhere to it's
pledge, but the value that can be at
tached to these protestations ia
doubtful. The fact 10 that the pres
ent Hungarian regime stands and
falls with ths policy Of monarchist
restoration and nationalist revenge
preached by tho jingoes Of the So
called Christian National party.
Moreover. the imonyi-Semadam
Cabinet is mere shadow. The coun-
try Is really rulsd by the malta Of
reactionary ofiicors, whose will is law
and who not only defy the civilian
authorities but dictate even to their
own commander IN chief, Dictator

BUDGET Reform Blocked

Responsibility for tho failure Of
the budget bill rests clearly with
President Wilson. This important
measure-one Of the most important
administrative measures ever passed
by Congress-came 70 him with what
he considered . constitutional defect.
It deprived the President Of the
power 70 remove the Comptroller
General and Assistant Comptroller
General, vestins that power in Con-
gress. The President held that the
right to remove should go with the
right 70 appoint, which vss conceded
to him. On that ground he returned
The bill 70 Congress less than twenty
four hours before the date set for
adtournment.
The defect in ehe measure was i'm
material, st lssst from the practical
point Of view. It could have been
cured at the next session by the
passage Of . joint resolution. At
the worst, . test case could have
been carried to the Supreme Court in
the improbable contingency that the
President, after appointing, should
desire to remove one Of these officers.
No great harm could have resulted
from . postponement Of this purely
technical issue.
Real harm, however. has been done
by the Veto The House repassed the
bill after eliminating the objection
able provision. But two Democratic
Senators prevented action in the
upper branch by starting a filibus-
ter. The amended measure cannot
Be passed until Congress meets again
next winter. The new budget ma
chinery cannot, therefore, be put into
operation in time to affect the prep
aration Of the 1922 estimates.
The old slipshod methods which pro-
duced this year government esti-
mates totalling $4,000, ,oo0, 900 viii
remain in force. Congress will again
have to struggle to reduce inflated
demands for appropriations coming
from spendthrift department chiefs
and bureau heads.
In his message to the railroad broth
erhoods the President reproached
Congress for putting political ex-
pediency'' above "the lofty purpose
to servo the public welfare" His de-
termination to veto the budget bill
on the eve Of adjournment because
Of slight infringement on the Ex-
scutive's prerogatives, thus bringing
about it, failure in the Senate, 10 in
strange contrast with his accusation.
He has preferred to stand for his ex-
treme privileges In . matter Of
trifling consequences, instead Of max.
ing the small sacrifice necessary "a

"Staroing" Germany

o the Editor of The Tribune.

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The letter of Arthur r. Rich
mond in to-day's Tribune in regard to
the collections now being taken up for
alleged starving German children meets
with my approval. On several occasions
I have been solicited for funds for
Starving children" The women who
pass the box in the subways and res
taurants are rather loath to admit that
these funds are for Germans, and when
pressed for credentials they usually
run away. There is entirely too much
anonymous begging for war relief of
this kind going on. Who is on this
German committee, Bernstorff and Won
Papen?

only in the American area. but in all

starving children. All my inquiries
failed to find these alleged innocent
victims Of the "inhuman Allied block

cities, shortage of certain foods, but
there was no starvation.
l will admit that the former typical
rotundty Of German men and women
had been superseded by slightly more
harmonious ensemble, and the process
sion of stately voluminousness and emf
nent protuberances formerly so charac-
teristic of this gentle folk no longer
obtruded itself upon my aesthetic sensi-
bilities. The shopkeepers had little
demand for the perfect 80 corset" for
merly the classical and standard con-
ception Of the Germans ideal of fem
inine charm and loveliness.
That other distinguishing accent,
the ponderous, overhanging neck Of
Heinie, the folds and layers of fat
which in the good old days over
whelmed his little celluloid collar (size
2S), had. alack and alas! shrunk and
wilted away, and I can certify that

dition indicated steady growth to-

Nsv, York's Growth

The New YORK CaSy census nG-
ures ars not surprfing. Many peo-
pie had been mislsd by the Census
Bureau's estimates Of population,
based on mathematical progressions,
into believing thst New York would
reach or pass the 6,ooo, 900 mark in
1920. Instead, the tctal Is 5,621, ,151.
The gain In the decade WAS 854 4,268.
Cities don't grow according to d
prior; calculations. Growth is SUBJ
ject to changing material conditions.
It was self-evident that the halting
Of alien immigration, due TO the war,
would slow down New York's rate Of
gain. The percentage Of increase
between 1900 anA 1s1e-sS.7-was
above normal. The percentage Of
gain between 1910 and 1920 is only
17.9, which 10 below normal. The
reason for this revsrssi 10 plain. In
addition to the cheek in alien immi-
grafton there has heen . consider
able alien emigration, also caused by
the war. These losses were not
neutralized By An artificial develop
ment Of war industries.
The accuracy Of the state census
Of 1915 was challenged. because it
failed to support tho Federal Census
Bureau's srbitrAry estimates. The
World attacked it as sn undercount,
so far a. this city was concerned.
The Tribune disagreed with that
conclusion. The Federal census now
largely vindieates the state count.
The state enumerators fixed the
population here in June, 1915, at g.
066, ,222-an increase Of 299, 1899 since
1910. The gain in the following five
years, according to the Federal fig
ures, was 554,o2o. The rate of
growth in the Afst half decade was
lowered by the big slump between
August, 1914, and June, 1915. In
the second half IL was undoubtedly
accelerated by the general CONNER
cial and industrial activity caused by
the war. Probably tho percentage Of
17.0 is only q little below New
York's natural growth, excluding the
factors Of foreign immigration and
emigration.
Other cities in the metropolitan
district have shown q similar slow
ing up-Newsrk, Jersey City and
Paterson being conspicuous examples.
Boom conditions didn't prevail in
this area from 1910 to 1920, as they
did bstwesn 1900 and 1916. And
this is true Of most Of the big Amer
lean cities, the exceptions being those
in which war industries produced a
mushroom growth.
New York IL rapidly rising to pri-
macy among the cities Of the world.
Our metropolitan area appears to
have larger population than Lon
don's, although comparisons are diff
ficult becanse Of confusion in terri
torial and political limits. But New
York's supremacy in population is
clearly assured. Tho city is growing
fast enough. The halving OF the per-
centase Of growth In the last decade
Is not reRrettable from many points
Of view. With tho housing situation
what It II Q duplication Of the In.
crease Of the 1oo0.1e10 period would
have had deplorable results.

The Garden Of Alcinous

(Odyssey VII, 11s-1ss)
Beyond the palace gates garden
grew,
Within wall encompassed, large and
fair,
Where lofty trees their gsudy fruits
renew
With apple, pomegranate, fg. and pear:
Nor comes decay upon their blossoms
rare,
For ever softly on them Zephyr blows
And brings to rirensss every fruit
that grows.
So grape on grape and psas on pear
succeeds,
And apple follows apple all tho year.
Near by, deep-rooted, rich, the vine
yard feeds
Its vines; one part che SUMS WARM
glances sere;
Here harvest they the grapes, and
tread them here,
Here, clusters green that late their
blossoms shed;
There, rounded grapes that glimmer
family red.
Thu ordered garden beds beyond the
outer row
Produce profusion, trim and always
gay.
Two springs there are; from ono tho
waters go
Through all the fruitful plot and never

Beneath the courtyard gate the other

And all the townsmsn draw from it
