IN Bethlehem won't miss a little piece
of icing, and I gave it to the child and
ne stopped crying. But when he fin
ished he began to cry again. I Just
sort of squeezed another little piece of
icing Off, and that was all right, for a
little while; but then I had to give him
another piece, and things went on that
way, and all Of a sudden I found that
there wasn't any cake left After that
nc looked as if he might cry again, and
didn't have any more cake and so I
showed him the duck and he said Ia
ta.' | just meant to lend him the duck
for minute, but he wouldn't give 1t up.
coaxed him a good while, but he
wouldn't let 60. And then a woman
came out of that little house and she
began to scold him for staying out so
late, and so I told her it was my fault
and | gave her the holly wreath Just
so she wouldn't be mad at the child.
And after that, you see, l didn't have
anything to take to Bethlehem, and so
came back here"
Deborah had begun to cry long be-
fore Simon finished his story, but when
he had done she lifted up her head
and said, "How could you do it,
Simon? Those presents were meant
for the King of the World, and you
gave them to the first crying child you
met on the road"
Then she began to cry again, and
Simon didn't know what to say or do
and it grew darker and darker in the
room and the fire on the hearth faded
to few embers. And that little red
glow was all there was in the room
Now, Simon could not even see Deborah
across the room, but he could still hear
her sobbing. But suddenly the room
was flooded with light and Deborahs $
sobbing broke into a great gulp and
she rushed to the window and looked
out. The stars danced in the skv and
from high above the house came the
voice of angels saying, GLORY to God
in the highest, and on earth peace. good

Deborah dropped to her knees in a
panic of JOY and fear, Simon knelt
beside her, but first ne said, 81 THOUGHT

New York Goes C. o. P.

Complete enrolment figures show
that this city has not only become
Republican, but almost as strongly
Republican as it used to be Demo
cratic. On the 1919 returns the
Democratic margin was 1924. On
the 1920 returns the Republican
margin is 112,463.
Enrolment figures are more stable
than election figures. Major La
Guardia, the Republican candidate
for President Of the Board Of Alder
men, carried the city in 1919 in
spite of the huge Democratic enroll
ment majority. Last month Senator
Harding's plurality was about 430,-
900, while the Republican enrolment
ma jority was only about a fourth as
great. Many voters mark their
tickets as they please, whatever dec
larations they have made; but their
natural year-in and year-out affili-
ations are made clear by their dec
larations.
New York's Experimentation is
due largely to the women voters. On
the male enrolment the Republican
excess in the city is only 30,632. On
the female enrolment it is 1881.
Republican women are in a majority
in all the boroughs except Richmond,
and are only 454 behind there. The
Bronx, Queens and Richmond are all
Democratic 50 far as the masculine
vote is concerned, the margins being
$3.50 in the first, 1858 in the second
and 4,095 in the third.
These facts have an important
bearing on the city campaign. The
Republican party's opportunity lies
in retaining it's new-found sources
of strength. The new voters have
come to it in large masses because
they believe that it is better instru-
ment Of government than the Demo-
cratic party. The most significant
thing disclosed by the enrolment is
the woman voters distrust Of Tam
many. Tammany stands for crooked
government, and the women know it.
Good government, an exercising of
the Tammany spirit, non-partisan
union for community ends, If neoes-
sary-these are what the new Re-
publican majority is bent on, after
its nightmare experiences with Hy-
lanism.

Quality immigration
he Editor of The Tribune

10 the Editor Of The Tribune,
Sir: The National Security Leayue
wishes to point out serious defect In
practically all the many suggested So
lutions for the immigration problem.
While containing many excellent
points, they seem inspired solely by
economic considya tions.
The National Security League re-
CARDS the whole subject of immigration
to be based upon two fundamental
principles.
The first is quality immigration
That is to say, immigrants should be
chosen by Uncle Sam in the same way
that an employer examines the quality
and fitness of an employee-as to his
or her honesty, sobriety, Industry, OBJ
servance of law and order, cleanliness
of mind and body, freedom from OBJ
noxious political activity, absence of
criminal record, etc.
The second point is the adaptability
to American principles and ideals of
government and of life. Most Of the
yates the vital defect Of the past
namely, too much emphasis on economic
adaptability and usefulness. This is
Important, but only secondary to the
burning question of whether we are
going to assimilate our foreign elc-
ments or whether they are going to de-
naturalize US. Investigation can easily
demonstrate what class or group of
immigrants have been most readily
Americanized, in principles, in language
and in other ways, and those groups
should be given reasoned preference
as against an automatic and unrea-
soned numerical method of selection.
Our Tower of Babel must a. be con-
verted into Temple of Americanism.

LEAGUE,

Naval Rivalry Again

There seems an overwhelming
sentiment against another race for
naval armament The press and
people Of the United States, while
favorable to an adequate navy, are
strongly opposed to entering an
armament race at this time.
Great Britain and Japan appear
bewildered by the attitude of the
United States, and no wonder. The
most peaceful nation on earth in the
past and recently preaching to the
world the horrors of war, we are
now leading in naval armament!
The London Globe expresses
view that prevails in England:
"What it amounts to is that the
nations Of the world in general and
Great Britain in particular have
been 'doped' into the belief that the
burden Of armaments is to be re-
moved, while Americans have care
fully avoided swallowing any Of the
narcotic them selves. No one
threatens the United States; against
whom, then, is this vast new feet
being bult?"
Another English writer exclaims:
"This projected competition is, to
put it plainly, an insanity for both
peoples. We simply cannot afford
it, and, if we could we should be
fools to embark on it, What we and
the Americans need to do is to put
out of our minds fighting issues and
sit down together to find a peaceful
solution of the problems in which we
are mutually concerned"
Similarly Japan is mystihed at
our attitude. Baron Hayashi ex-
claims: "It is funny that no one
wants war, not a single nation has
an aggressive policy, and yet the
hour Of disarmament has not come!"
1t is perfectly possible for the
United States, while providing an
efficient three-plane navy, to avoid
the charge of imposing new burdens
upon the world in leading another
race for naval ascendancy.
New-York tribune., 1920-12-24
The Farm Tariff Bill

Forty-one Democratic Representa-
tives supported Mr.. Fordney's bill
imposing emergency tariff duties on
agricultural products, sheep and cat
tie. Ancient party disputes didn't
figure in the debate. The Fordney
measure, like the johnson immigra-
tlon measure, was accepted by the
House as a temporary expedient,
contravening no party's theories.
The case for higher tariff duties
on farm products is simple. The
American farmer did his part in
the war. He received government
regulated prices for his chief prod
ucts, unless he was a cotton planter.
The recent sharp decline in wholesale
foodstuffs prices has hit him harder
than any other large producer
harder, perhaps, than anybody else.
Since November, 1919, there has
been an average decrease of 10 per
cent in wholesale commodity prices.
But farm products have shown a de-
crease Of 81 per cent. Even clothing
prices declined only % per cent.
Agriculture thus has suffered dis
proportionately in the process Of
price readjustment. Too rapid con-
traction in such a basic industry
must have an injurious effect on
trade and industry generally. The
government is justified in extending
relief to the agriculturalist, espe-
cially relief which will result from
checking foreign competition. The
farmer is entitled to breathing
spell, at least until the price reduc-
tions on the things he buys have a
chance to catch up with those on the
things he sells.
A tariff duty on an article like
wheat, of which we usually have a
surplus for export, is not fiat addi-
tion clapped on the domestic price.
World market conditions interfere
with such q process. But it will
help to offset the exchange advan-
tage which the Canadian seller now
enjoys. He has every inducement,
as the Argentine seller also has, to
market his wheat in this country
because the dollar he receives here
is worth more than his own dollar
or its peso equivalent.
In the case Of wool and woolen
goods tariff duty goes, roughly
speaking, into the domestic price.
With other commodities named in
the Fordney bill a part Of the dutv
goes in. But with farm products as
low as they are, the increment. what
ever it may be, will not put a serious
added burden on consumption. For
some time to come it will help the
farmer, and if it relieves his pinch
1t will also help to steady the gen
eral decline in prices, which isn't
one of those things which, if thew
are well to be accomplished, are well
to be accomplished quickly.

No Housing Relief

left has not new dwelling in it.
The emergency statutes, suspend
ing for two years, with respect to
old tenancias, the raising of rents
except with the courts consent, have
naturally caused investors and
builders to be averse to erecting new
tenements. They realize the likeli-
hood, when the rent laws expire by
self-llmitation, that they will be re-
newed and perhaps enlarged in
scope.
So the embafgo on new building
indefinitely continues. There is no
sign Of a lifting. The would-bc new

benefit of the Allied diplomatists.
The cipher kilograms exchanged be-
tween Berlin and Athens show that
even before the war Constantine had
come to a clear understanding with
the Kaiser. He agreed with his
wife that the Greek dynasty's natu-
raj alliance was with tile House of
Hohenzollern. He was pro-Teuton
from the ground up. He telegra phed
IN August, 1914, to his minister in
Berlin: "The Emperor knows that
my personal sympathies and politi-
cal opinions draw me toward him."
That was the unvarnished truth,
but for three years Constantine kept
1t secret from the Allied foreign
offices. He had staked his patri-
mony on German success. He did
everything he could to make German
success possible. His heart was with
his august brother-in-law. Even in
the dark days of December, 1916,
when the Allies were beginning to
suspect his duplicity and to take
harsh counter-measures against him.
he was greatly concerned about get
ting through an anniversary mes
sage to the German division of which
he was once honorary commander.
The returning exile now promises
to take notice Of the fact that he bet
on the wrong horses and to shape his
policy to conform with Allied vic
tory. But what Allied ministry will
be rash enough to trust him? He
remains vindictive. He is proscrib-
ing the elements which brought
Greece into the war on the Allied
side. In the JOY of his escape from
Elba will he be able, finished Thes-
plan though he is, to avoid the dis
CLOSURE Of inidelities and antago-
nisms, crippling to Greece, which
might sour the restoration and land
him on another St. Helena?
