While this conversation with Wash

shortage in the Yarmouth's cargo,
which developed between her sailing
from and returning to New York.
Judge Knox ordered Marcus Garvey,

Shortly after her arrival here again
workmen were discovered trying to
steal away from the Yarmouth with

boat. A guard was placed aboard
and later the cargo was formally
seized.

Commission to Solve
Mexican Problem Urged

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is very evident that the ad-
justment and solution of pan-Ameri-
can problems must be made on basis
OF mutual consideration, with a little
more yielding to be expected on our
part than on theirs. as BELTS our greater
maturity. A permanent and powerful
pan-American commission to consider
pan-American problems is therefore
highly desirable. Such commission
could place our commerce on better
basis. 1t would help the southern
countries to sell to US and buy from
US. The Latin-Americans have re-
sources; we have machinery. Let the
mark, Made in America" stand foT
pan Americanism.
The immediate problem for such q
commission would, of course, be that
OF our relations with Mexico. We must
by all means protect ourselves from
attack, open, or concealed, by any fac
ton OF the Mexican political mass. But
our policies have failed to assist that
country to come to peace. We might
do much worse than to allow ourselves
TO be guided by men whose race and
training permit them to understand
the Mexican point OF view. 1t is GER
tain that only continued distrust and
suspicion will be the result of our sin
gle intervention, if we should ever be
rash enough to attempt it.

To the. Editor of The Tribune.

They constitute obstacles TO the com

people. To take care Of such men com
pulsory voting has been proposed. An
Indifferent vote, obtained by compul-
sion, would be worse than no vote at
all. 1t is better that indifferent citi-
zens do not vote. We should strive to
cure the Indifference.
A worse phase of the voting problem
IS that many men who are in every
way good citizens are unable to vote
Important business matters take them
from home on Election Day or they
have recently changed their residence

not every citizen be entitled to vote

Sir: A referendum of the peace treaty
through the medium of the Presidential
campaign has been suggested by Pres
ident Wilson, but how this is to be &C
complished he has I'D to now failed to

1t sounds more like third-ter,n

an issue he would find himself in such
hole that exrrication would be i'm
possible. In the first place he would
find the Democratic party a house
divided against itself
Doubtless all Of the Democratic can
didates, excluding the President, have
known from the start that the treaty
without reservations was impossible.
Al airy rate. twenty-one Democratic
Senators recently voted in favor of
the Lodge reservations, others might
have voted for them if Wilson had
permitted it and two OF them were
paired. Certainly for their own party
to make the original treaty. with the
complete league text. an issue, would
be to repudiate them.

tn the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The desirability of Federal

Cabinet. has been discussed in pre-
vious letter. Il was pointed out that
such a department would render pos
s;ble 8 minimum standard of education
for all the schools throughout the
country Let Us now consider some
other aspects Of this problem.
When attention is brought to bear
mon the fact that there are in the
Union about 900 universities, colleges
and schools OF technology, of which
number more than one-third are located
in the North Central states, it seems
obvious that our institutions of higher
learning are not distrib as eff

ought 20 be-
Needless TO say many Of these col
leges are small and afford only an
institutions would be glad to accom-
nodate the students of these poorer
schools. Consequently such colleges
are a positive menace, because they
lower the standard OF higher learning
in the United States
How could a national department OF
education remedy this situation? 1t
could abolish unnecessary schools and
could prevent the endowment Of new
ones, ,diver-ing such endowments to the
!mprov ement Of already established IN
stituts ons. In the second place, it
could provide for the creation of new
universities. 1t could prevent q situa-
ton such as we now have, where New
York With its 10000 900 inhabitants
has only thirty-four institutions Of
higher education, whereas Pennsyl-
vanis. wA4h less than 100000 people,
has forty Two. 1t could effect dis
.ribution of our educational institu-
tons in proportion to population.
By increa sing or reducing the num-

the number Of students that it could
handle most economically and eff
