Beefsteak for MIR. Shaw

To that large and solemn public
which has taken the utterances of
6. B. S. seriously and sought to
live thereby will come perplexity
and dismay on reading the latest
beatitude quoted by Mr.. Haywood
Broun upon this page yesterday
mo man who has any real work in
the world has time or money for a
pursuit so long and expensive as
the pursuit of women" read the
words. To be sure, there are ele-
ments of facetiousness in the sur
roundings of the speech-Mr. Shaw
is writing his own biography in the
third person and from various other
remarks would obviously be not af-
fronted if the reader gained the i'm
preston that he was a devil of q
fellow. But the dictum stands, none
the less-with whatever discount for
Shavian humor ones idolatry will
permit.
And how square such words with
the masterful moral of MAN and
Superman," that man is the pursued
and woman the pursuer-that every
man is no more than marked down
quarry. a destined prey Of some
woman? Perhaps Mr.. Shaw meant
escape" instead Of pursuit. But

Cox S Newspaper Says

(from The Dayton Daily NeqUs
April g, 1917, four days before
the. United States declared qUay
against GeYnmny)
The best way to injure our enemy,
II Germany should become our enemy
through declaration of war or because
OF state of war, is to supply the de-
fciencles of the Allies. These deficien-
cies consist of food and clothing and
munitions of war. Instead of divertinp
our resources to raising an army of a
couple of million men, instead Of send
ing men abroad for sentimental pur-
poses, we ought to go to work to SUD-
ply the Allies with everything they
need, and they do not need men. We
can pest serve our own purposes by fur
nishlng other matter than men.

Coal Strike Repercussicns

British coal miners have voted to
go on strike, and unless there is an
eleventh hour settlement Great Brit
ain faces a calamity only less dis
| astrous than actual war, while other
countries dependent upon British
coal will find themselves in situa-
tlon of extreme gravity. The United
States is not dependent upon Brit
ish coal, yet the strikes repercus-
sion will be felt in practically every
American home and business con-
Germ unless the Federal government
at once takes measures to regulate
the exporting of our own limited
fuel supplies.
The emergency is of such grave
nature that the Washington Admin
istration can take no chances. With
tne existing scarcity of bituminous
and anthracite in American markets.
not an hour should be lost in getting
ready to safeguard this country.
European buyers will pay famine
prices, and higher than famine
prices, for every pound of American
coal they can lay their hands on.
To carry it abroad they will charter
cargo space in every available ship.
Already comes news Of a schooner
load of American coal purchased for
about $40 ton and Immediately re-
sold to an Amsterdam buyer for S35
ton. If the British strike occurs
and lasts only fortnight, European
buyers, frantically bidding against
one another, will pay anything
asked for American coal.
The people Of the United States
have proved their eagerness to aid
those of less fortunate lands. We
want to do all we can, as we have
done in the past, with food and
medicines and clothing and fuel.
But it would do no good to permit
coal to be sold at famine prices for
export. The severer the strain in
Europe the quicker a settlement is
likely
1t is not for newspaper to decide
how best to meet the crisis. Ex-
perienced men in the coal trade,
however, urge the immediate reap
pointment of Federal fuel admin
istrator, who would take charge of
the entire output from every coal
mine in the country, first of all as
suring sufficient supplies for our
own needs and distributing them
equally at fair prices to. consumers.
and then intelligently directing
whatever surplus remains for ex-
port to the most needy countries
abroad. The coal men do not want

A False Comparison

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: One of the favorite arguments
Oh Democratic campaign speakers when
urging the adoption of the League of
Nations is to draw parallel or assume
'hat there is an analogy between our
present situation and attitude toward
the league with our situation in 1888
with regard to the Constitution proposed
at that time.
1t Is my opinion as a student of his
tory that the analogy is false. There is
Practlcally no comparison between the
League Covenant and the Constitution
II there is any comparison between the
TWO documents, let those supporters Of
the league as it stands with no reserva
tons remember that the Constitution
itself was adopted with reservations
These reservations became the first fan
amendments. Massachusetts was one of
the states which refused to ratify until
its statesmen were promised that prin-
ciples later incorporated in the first ten
amendments would be made a part Of
the Constitution. None of these amend
ments broke the heart of America or
impaired the success of the governments

ever way the word be read, it does
not square at all with the lives Of
great men that have fallen under
our attention, from King Solomon
and David to Lord Nelson and Lord
Byron. Perhaps biographers ex-
aggerate these pursuits" or "es-
capes" by reason of what is techni-
cally known as the drawing power Of
heart interest" 1t has indeed oc-
Cured to us upon occasion to Won
der, modifying Mr.. Shaw's language,
how these men, with real work in
the world, found time for their
work. That they found the time,
however, seems incontrovertible.
We see only one explanation to
fall back upon, and that is the sac
rilegious theory that G.. B. S. is af-
fiicted with a phohia of women.
Dreading their advances, and even
more their retreats, he first accuses
''Nii VI pursuing men W IllclI
doom; and, second, finds that they
have made pursuit of their favors so
costly in time and money as to ex-
clude this interesting activity from
the lives of busy men. Mr.. Shaw
tells of the actress who shivered at
the thought of what he might do to
the women of London if he were fed
beefsteak instead of string beans.
Might not a psycho-analyst decide
that beefsteak was just what Mr..
Shaw needed to make him safe and
equable member Of society, neither
pursuing nor pursued?

A Quid Pro Quo
To the Editor of The Tr;huno

l
SIR: One thing is clearly shown bv
the text OF President Wilson's speech to
the Rumanian and Serbian de|epates as
published in connection with his con-
troversy with Senator Spencer, and that
IS the reason why the President 80 stuh-
bornly insisted on Article X of tho
league covenant 1t is quite ev;dant
from the Presidents own words as nub-
lshed by his secretary that the guar
anty contained in Article X was used sc
sort of quid pro quo in persuadinc
some of the smaller nations to accent
settlements unsatisfactory in other 70 .
spects to them.
II Article x is eliminated or weak
cred the President finds himself in the
position of failing to make good his own
implied promise after, apparently, talk
ing leading part in persuading the
representatives of these nations to ac-
ccpt otherwise unsatisfactory terms
How much Of the peace treaty is based
on similar understandings or guaran-
'les is not known. If the treaty is
ratified with Article x unchanged does
not America automatically pledge her
SELF to make them all good, and what
freedom of action is left for decision in
individual cases that may arise? How
can any one then say that the obligation
created under Article X is not abso-
lutely binding? A G.

Adequate VS.. Average

To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: viii you permit protest
against the method suggested in your
editorial this morning entitled "Ade-
quate Pay for Teachers? You quote
United States Commissioner Of Educa-
tion Claxton as suggesting "S2 90 as an
average salary for teachers in the ele-
mentary and secondary schools"
Among the best ways of preventing sde-
quate pay for teachers is such use Of
averages. To compare the New YORK
high school teachers salary that may
now go to $4.250 with rural teachers
salary in Alabama of s420 conceals the
lowness of the rural school salary.
1t is quite possible to raise the aver
age salary level to where it would seem
quite satisfactory. while utterly fainns
to increase salaries where they are
scandalously too low. American teach
crs and the American public have
right to more discriminating suggestions
from the Federal Bureau Of Education.

Acres for Immigrants
To the Editor of The Tribune.

o Cne EQlCOr OF The Tribune
Sir: One of your contemporaries
writes upon Housing and the Acre
Home" as follows: "Whether those who
are already Injured to tenement life can
be successfully transferred to acre homes
is question that caE only be answered
by experiment."
Owing to the work in connection with
my book, | have had extensive oppor
tunlty OF observation. and may be able
to throw some light upon this point.
The newly arrived immigrant is some
what shy of the country unless he has
some acquaintance there who can assure
him of steady and profitable employ
ment. If he has to take a chance. he
would rather take it in the city. The city
immigrant who comes here greatly pre-
fers the city, because the ways of
living of the poor are much what he has
been accustomed to-
The better class, however, who live in
what we call flats, whether American or
foreign, are easily induced to live in the
country. The colony of the Liberal
School at Stelton, the Fellowship Asso-
ciation opposite it, and the notable sue
cess Of Free Acres, N. j., shows this.

10 the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: I read a good deal in the

Greece as a Republic

Paris dispatches say that should
King Alexander die republic may
be set up in Greece, with Venizelos
as President. Such a move would
be almost a political necessity, for
Constantine is plotting to regain the
throne, and the younger members of
the royal family, including the for
mer Crown Prince, are Constantine
partisans.
For long time a king was a
political necessity to Greece-was
imposed on the Greeks as a matter
of expediency by the great powers
Great Britain, France and Russia
which aided Hellas to emerge from
Turkish slavery.
They guaranteed Greece a stable
constitutional government and con-
stituted themselves her political
guardians. Great Britain and France
elected Constantine in 1917 because
he had violated the constitution and
tried to make himself an absolutist,
pro-German ruler
The first choice of the powers was
Otho Of Bavaria, who reigned from
1882 till 1862, when he lost his
throne through an insurrecton. Then
the present Danish house was In
stalled. But the Greeks are demo-
cratic peoplc-heirs of the first demo-
cratic system set up in Europe. The
royal house is an exotic, cut off
from the nation. A century ago the
major European powers distrusted
democracy. Greece was also not ripe
then for sef-rule. Europe to-day is
full Of republics, and there could be
no serious political objection TO
allowing the new Greece to adopt a
republican form of government.
Under republic Venizelos would
be the undisputed choice for Presi-
dent. More than any other man he
is the maker Of the Greece of to-
day. A Cretan, he took leading
part in reuniting Crete to the
motherland. Under his leadership
Greece recovered through the Balkan
wars Southern Epirus and most of
Macedonia. In the great war he
tried to hold the government to It's
alliance with Serbia and to frustrate
Constantinc's pro-German, pro-Bul-
garian, anti-Entente policy. When
Constantine illegally dissolved the
Chamber and set up as a military
autocrat, Venizelos had the sagacity
to retire from Athens and establish
in the islands and in Macedonia a
provisional government, pledged to
support the Entente. He continued
to serve Greek interests, while Con-
stantine was betraying them.
The result was that Greece was
finally brought into the war on the
side of the Allies and profted largely
at the peace conference. She ac-
quired more of Epirus, nearly all of
Thrace and a foothold on the Asi-
atic continent in the region of
Smyrna.
Venizelos is the greatest states
man Of modern Greece 1t would be
natural for him to become the head
Of the new Greek nation, which owes
to him its enlarged area and re-
established prestige. Democratic
Hellas could hardly hesitate between
honoring him and saddling herself
again with Constantine or a prince
let of his selection.
