back to the evil habits of Spanish mis-

which the island has not, up to this
moment, been wholly able to recover

administration and craftsmanship an
other. Cuba is not in need of laws. Mr..

profitably to them. And he launched
their baby republic clean, happy, con-
fident, his eternal friend. From Pinar

Bringing the Treaty Back

The treaty is spoken Of as dead.
Strictly this is not true. It is merely
returned to the President unratified.
He cal send 1t back to the Senate at
any time. Then it would become
alive again.
II the treaty were thus remessaged
to the Senate, with the President
saying or intimating that further re-
Election had persuaded him that the
reservations did not nullify the
treaty-that he realized he was in a
minority Of one on this matter and
bowed to the will Of the majority
then, beyond doubt, the treaty would
be promptly reported out and rati-
fed. Of the Democratic Senators
who voted on Friday against ratifica-
ton all but three would have voted
the other way except for White
House pressure.
So the responsibility Of the White
House for non-ratihcation continues.
The Presidents fingers are still on
the throat Of the treaty. Were he to
relax them breath and life would
come back.
Not only can the treaty be sent
again to the Senate, with an indica-
ton that ratification with the Lodge
reservations will be accepted, but the
President, If still unwilling to accept
the Lodge reservations, may set out
what reservations would be accept
able to him. Some time ago he de-
ciared he had no compromise to offer.
1t he now is willing to compromise,
and states explicitly his terms, and
the same are reasonable, Republican
Senators who voted for ratification
will not find it easy to oppose his
policy.
In his Jackson Day letter the
President spoke of having "a great
and solemn referendum" Such a
referendum seems impossible now,
for there is no clear-cut issue. Nor
is~it possible for the President to
raise the issue by openly appearing
as third-term Presidential candi-
date. The opposition to him within
and without his party largely relates
to non-treaty matters. Nor is it pos
sible to get clear public expression
concerning entry into the league of
nations. The debate is not over
entry, but over the conditions to at
tend entry.
1 But, the referendum aside, the
treaty is dead only if the President

course, M@cenas. And there were

an English poet, Kenneth Hare, re-

weeks ago. WHITTIER Should We

read thus:

The one consolation is that, de-
spite these hardships-or because of
them?-poetry is still very much
alive in England. In fact, if poets
wage was established sufficient to
keep the tribe alive without it's

The German Chvrnine

In January, 1919, Bolshevism, un-
der the name of Spartacism, came to
a tragic end in Berlin with tho
deaths Of Liebknecht and Rosa
Luxembourg, its leaders. The Con-
servatives, representing the old or
der, supported the moderate social
ism of Scheidemann and Ebert and
furnished the military support which
overawed the Spartacides.
But the Conservatives, irritated BY
the incapacity Of the Ebert govern
ment, broke with it. The hotheads
OF the reactionary element thought
their time had come and rang up the
curtain on their operetta, but the
soberer Conservatives refused to
give support, and Ebert, after fee
ing, came back. But as a defensive
measure he had called a general
strike, and the confusion engendered
by this, no less than the removal of
the mask from the face Of reaction.
gave the Spartacides an opportunity
they have, of course, not neglected.
Though the news is disturbing,
that Germany will go Bolshevist
may still be regarded as highly un-
likely. In the first place, nearly 100
per cent of adult Germans can read
and write, against 20 per cent in
Russia. In the second place, 80 per
cent of the Russians are peasants
and can get along in a fashion with
out trade, whereas only 20 per cent
OF the Germans are similarly eco-
nomically independents A month of
Bolshevism would starve Germany in
a real sense, and most, Germans of
all classes have sense enough to
know this.
1t is, Of course, likely there will
be changes in the political per-
sonnet. The Ebert government is
hated by Germany's extreme radi-
Gals and despised by the middle class.
Which is numerous and powerful in
Germany. But the "Reds" may be
rated as small minority. More
over, it happens that the great in
dustrial districts are close to the
western border, where are the SOL
diers Of the Allies ready to inter-
vene for the preservation of order.

Most Heroic Figure

Sir: | think I can say that 1, like
thousands Of others, richly enjoyed
your editorial this morning on Presi-
dent Wilson's thoughtless and unjust
criticism of France
I feel quite sure that If that great
lover of France and of his own country
were alive to-day he would perhaps
forget himelf and lambaste his prede-
cessor as he deserves. Roosevelt rare
ly became eloquent, but occasionally.
when his feelings were wrought up, his
utterances reached the highest flights
of eloquence. 1t is a pleasure now to
recall part of an address he made at
dinner to Ambassador Jusserand, in
New York City, some time before his
death. Truly, to find something sur
passing this tribute we have to look to
the Gettysburg speech, or portions Of
the second inaugural address of Lin
coin:
"In Ambassador Jusserand I greet an
old and valued friend. / greet a dis
tlngulshed diplomat and man of letters.

age of her daughters has matched the

Death for the Worker

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There is strike of freight
handlers at the docks. The Colonial
Navigation Line advised me to-day hat
they would accept goods for shipment
but upon sending my truck1nan with
several bales of merchandise, he was
told that he would have to put the
freight on the ship himself, which he
did not dare do for fear of being killed
by the strikers.
Here is a case of man who is ready
and willing to work, but prevented by
others not willing to work from so doing.

Moral Equivalent for Starvation

1t is always bad weather for poets
and true artists, and so far as the
present goes the skies are, if any,
thing, shade brighter than they
usually are. That is our guess, at
any rate, and we stick to it, despite
very gloomy portrait of present
day conditions by really able poet
of the new school, John Gould
Fletcher, in The London Nation
Mr.. Fletcher is an American by
birth, but he has settled in London,
we believe, and it is of the poets lot
in England that he writes. That un-
happy creature, he declares, is
ground to pieces between the "mon-
strous amalgamations of capital'
above and "the equally monstrous
Indifference of the laboring classes
to anything but the most gross
material enjoyments" below. The
writer who would succeed must pam
der either to the taste which de-
mands a Tarzam of tho Apes or
the taste which likes to be hum
bugged by 'inane eccentricities, like
cubism, vorticism, etc. Mr.. Fletcher
continues:
~ have reason to think that never
have there been so many writer's of
individual talent living in circum-
stances Of obscurity as there are to-
day. I know of a novelist who,
though past middle age, has only re-
Gently had his first book accepted
after dozen or more refusals. :.
And even Ito take but a small in
stance-have just had collection of
verse which cost me five years work
refused by the sixth publisher to whom
IL was submitted"
Certainly Mr.. Fletcher exagger-
ates his own obscurity, for his work
has appeared in periodicals Of the
highest distinction and discrimina-
tion in this country. But his own
tribulations aside, and whether he
overstates the present hardships of
the struggling author or not, he
seems to err grievously in az
guing that conditions are far worse
to-day than ever before. When he
says that "in the old days of patron
age an artist was occasionally per-
mitted to survive, whereas at pres
ent he has no such opportunity" he
ignores facts and the record.

plenty? Life in every bohemia we

Retrenchrnent First

Some Of the minor tax law modi-
fications which Secretary Houston
has suggested are helpful. They re-
late to details of administration.
For instance, it would be an ad-
vantage to consolidate the exemp-
tlons on Liberty bonds, noW vary
ing with almost every issue. It may
be advisable to do something to neu-
tralize the loss Of taxes on stock divi-
dends, which is now estimated at
$1o5,0O0,000. All but $25,000,o0O
of this will come back, the Secretary
thinks, when the stocks issued as
dividends are sold and the profits on
their sale become taxable.
The leaders in the House are not
inclined, however, to accept Mr.
Houston's main suggestion-that the
income and excess profits tax sys.
tenn be simplified at once by substi-
tuting fiat rate for the present
graduated rates. Mr.. Fordney esti-
mates that such a change would re.
suit in lowering the present average
rate Of income and excess profits tax
alton by s per cent. The Ways and
Means Committee would be loath to
make an experiment in sinplifca-
tion which, whatever its other ad
vantages, might reduce revenue or
1eadjust the tax burden 20 as to
shift the weight of its incidence
away from larger incomes ard
toward lower incomes.
The Secretary himself says that
the productivity of the income end
excess profits taxes ought not to be
lessened before 1923. That Is, after
all, the main thing to be kept in
mind. The Treasury, acting for the
Administration, transmitted to Con-
gress estimates Of appropriations for
192C-'21 far outrunning the national
income. Many Of the heads of de-
partments and bureaus seemed OBJ
livious to the fact that the war was
over. They are still trying to MAN.
tain expenditure on war or near
war basis. Struggle as it will, Con-
gress will hardly be able to shear
the estimates down to the level of
income. Demands for new expen-
ditures not considered in the esti.
mates are being made. Some of
them are equitable in themselves,
but all are sadly disregardful of the
present stringency in the Treasury.
Congress would antagonize public
opinion if it should levy more taxes
or issue more bonds. There is no
escape, therefore, from the continu-
ance for time of the present tax
rates. Moreover, these will produce
an insufficient revenue unless Con-
gress retrenches heroically. Having
imprudently swamped Congress with
estimates, the Administration is now
morally bound to use its influence to
prevent lowering of taxes, and
even to acquiesce in a slashing Of
its extravagant requirements. The
immediate and fundamental need at
Washington is to eliminate deficits
and balance the governments ac-
counts. 1t will be time thereafter
to simn1ifv and rod,,co +ovo+;or -.
to consider proper additions to our
normal peace expenditure.
