Fiurne Arrives Home

The acceptance Of the Italian con-
tentions in the Fiume controversy
for the agreement reached at AK
les-Bains by Premiers Giolitti and
Millerand amounts to no less-is, Of
course, gratifying to those Ameri-
cans who have deplored President
Wilson's refusal to recognize the
right Of the people of Fiume to self
determination. The Presidents
strange course, his unaccountable
vendetta against Italy, has been the
source Of much inter-Allied diff
Guilty. 1t has not tended to make
Americans popular in Europe, which
assumes that'a nations Chief Exec
utive mirrors the views of the ma
tens majority.
Italy now realizes that Mr.. Will
sons personal views were not the
sentiments Of America at large, and
that our people recognize that Fiume
is, as it always has been, an Italian
city. 1t is true the Pact of London
did not include Fiume in the Italian
territory to be reunited to Italy, but
the complete collapse of Austro-
Hungary was not foreseen. But
neither was it foreseen that it would
be feasible to return Posen to Po-
land, nor that Turkey could be dis
membered, nor a dozen other things
that came to pass.
Italy will now deal directly with
Jugo-Slavia concerning the use of
the port. All intelligent Italians
will urge a policy of equity. The
special interests of Fiume, no less
than the broader interests of Italy,
demand this. No Italian who is sane
can want hostile ncighbor-no res
ident of Fiume can wish for grass
grown streets. Now that Italy's
just national claims are recognized,
the way is open to give the hinter-
land the freest possible access to the
sea. One may salute Fiume destined
to be the Antwerp Of the Adriatic,
receiving through her gates the COM
merce of Jugo-Slavia even as the
Belgian port does that of Rhenish
Germany.

(FrOn1 has address to the BrOcktOe
Chamber Of Commerce, April II,
1870
Men struggle for material success
because that is the path, the process,
to the development of character. We
ought to demand economic justice, but
most of all because it is justice. We
must forever realize that material re-
wards are limited and in a sense they
are only incidental, but the develop
ment of character is unlimited and is
the only essential. The measure Of
success is not the quantity of merchan-
disc, but the quality of manhood which
is produced.
These, then, are the justifying con-
ceptions of the spirit of our age; that
commerce is the foundation of human
progress and prosperity and the great
artisan of human character. Let us
dismiss the general indictment that has
all too long hung over business enter
prise. While we continue to condemn
unsparingly selfishness and greed and
all trafficking in the natural rights of
man, let US not forget to respect thrift
and industry and enterprise. Let US
look to the service rather than to the
reward. Then shall we see in our in
dustrial army, from the most exalted
captain to the humblest soldier in the
ranks, purpose worthy to minister to
the highest needs of man and to fulfil
the hope of fairer day

The Tammany Candidate
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: l wish to register protest
against the use of valuable space in
the New York papers for the purpose of
describing the self-inhicted sufferings
of few Irish fanatics while items of
real interest and problems which re-
quire the widest publicity as a help
toward their successful solution are
relegated to the back pages
l would also like to impress upon
some of our political candidates that
this country is not inhabited exclu-
sively by the Irish, although from a
perusal Of their speeches , one would
be led to think so. A number of women
friends and myself are looking for
ward to casting our first vote for
President this fall, and although we are
all firm believers in the League of Ma
tions, we don't propose to vote for 4
league with Mr.. Cox, the Tammany can
ddatc, attached. In the event of an
other Sim Fein election in Ireland, it
might be advisable for Mr.. Cox, Sec
retary Colby, Representative Mason
and few others to present them
selves as candidates for the Office of
president of the Irish Republic" ;"
They seem to be much more interested
in the affairs of that country than in
those of the United States of America.

British Policy

What is the British policy? 1t is
based on the assumption that by means
Of negotiation the Soviets can be per-
suaded first, to moderation, and second,
70 good faith. But what possible guar
antics could be given Of eithGr? Clear
ly, promises are of no value if the
record is one unbroken story of m-
moderate, extreme and aggressive action
and bad faith. The British public and
government were gradually won over to
the belief in TIE possibilities of nago-
liations, not by anything in the record
but by the very. continuation Of the
negotiations and the presence of the
negotiators in London. And here oc-
Cured the national psychosis that is
absolutely incomprehensblc to other
democratic nations, Having become
welded to the idea Of tanning the
anarchist Huns by compromise, Great
Britain began unconsciously the fabri-
cation of tictons to support the nego-
tiations.
Lloyd George took the position on
August 10 that "Poland was a defeated
nation" and must not refuse any terms
which "in the circumstances are as good
lis she has a right to expect" provided

Wilson record. He shows prudence

Lloyd George has declared that labor

is tendency in America to accept this
view, and so to wave aside and get

Ade Moreover, 1t means, according to
enc of the more conservative leaders
J. II. Thomas, "a fight against the con-
st1tution of our country j. G., against
British democracy. This fight is
not against "war," but against war

Russia admitted were an anti-demo-
cratic government. In war between

Polish regime, which British labo~

of the Socialists, it insists upon re-

sors, in spite of the fact that Bcr-
tyand Russell and most of the labor
delegation reported the Soviets as pcr.
manently aggressive in their foreign
policy and aiming to set up soviets in

So far British policy has been in
creasingly friendly to the Soviets--
with the exception of few days (Au-
gust % to 26). This friendliness has
obviously greatly encouraged and
strengthened the Bolsheviki as we'll as

1t was inevitable that Trotzky and the
Soviet press should boast that the con-
'inued presence of the Bolshevist dele

Sir: see in the papers where Mr..

HOME LOAN ACT
 AID TO FARMERS IN OKLAHOMA

Oklahoma City, Okla. July 23-Ap- proximately $1,OOO,O0O is available for the purchase of farms by citizens of Oklahoma under the provisions of the home loan act, passed by the 1919 legislature, which became effec- tive July 1. More than 5000 requests for blanks to apply for loans have been received, according to E. P. Bryan, assistant secretary to the com missioners of the land office.
 The act is limited to persons who have been residents of the state for two years or more and who are not the owners of more than 40 acres of land. From the home land fund ot $25O,000 appropriated by the legisla- ture, the maximum loan is 2,o0O. A loan not exceeding 50 per cent of the value of the farm to be purchased however, can be made from the "New College Fund" Supplementing the home loan fund is a fund to be paid by the state corporation commission consisting of refunds for overcharges by express companies escheated to the state.
 County committees will pass upor all requests for loans. Notes run fol 20 years, bearing per cent inter est, the act provides. The amount oi land to be purchased by a single per. son under the home loan act is linn. ited to 160 acres.

MEXICANS MAY

Mexico City, July 23-Upon the re- port of an Italian munitions expert will depend the decision of the ques- ton whether or not the Mexican gov ernment is to manufacture its own implements of war.
 In case his report causes the mili- tary chiefs of the nation to decide to purchase their munitions abroad, the practice of employing buyers in for eign countries will be discontinued and the purchases will be made through the Mexican governments regularly constituted commercial agents, according to the plans of Gen. Sra1 Plutarco Elias Gales, Secretary of War and Marine, as reported by Fl Universal. Furthermore, effort will be made to find, within the army itself, munitions experts who can be entrusted with the task of judiciously placing the governments orders abroad.

There Is already on record a case where the carefully conducted manu- facture (of war material) is resulting g in notable economy to the country; namely, in the construction of air plane propellers. This work could be extended successfully to the manufac- ture of all our war materials"
