Jacob III. Schin

Jacob H. Schiff was a power in
finance, leader in philanthropy
and perhaps the most influential
member of the Jewish community
in the United States. His activi-
ties as a banker brought him great
wealth and commanding position.
But his real character was better
expressed in his work for others
and his intense interest in the ad-
vancement Of Jewish culture and
the Jewish race.
Mr.. Schiff had n passionate de-
votion for his own people. But
there was no narrowness or exclu-
siveness in his attitude toward the
rest Of the world. He was stanch
American and lived up to the full
demands of American citizenship.
He was a promoter of good causes
and munihcent giver to education
and to all undertakings for the re-
lief Of suffering. He was highly
honored in Wall Street. But he was
also highly honored in the humble
homes Of the poor and oppressed Of
many races.
Though born and educated abroad,
he quickly absorbed the American
spirit and accepted the American
idea Of the responsibilities attach
ing to a large fortune. He never
worked for himself alone, but made
countless others sharers in his pros
perity. He had a fine balance of
character and the unselfsh impulse
which springs from a truly demo-
cratic consideration for ones fellow
men. He gave without ostentation,
because giving was a part of his
nature. lie will be deeply mourned
by those who knew him and by mill
ions to whom he was only a blessed
name.

waters Of Lake Chusendji and dried
according to special and ancient rec
ipe; handsome steamer trunks with
brass and rawhide knobs; trunks to
the right and trunks to the left; and
bellhops and Wallets scurrying hither
and yon. The bright reporters rushed
to the Bourse and the news was flashed
all over the world that the Japanese
delegation was packing up; that Mr..
1juin, the Japanese Ambassador at
Rome, had called upon Baron Sonnino,
the Italian Foreign Minister, and
pledged Japan's support to the Italian
Adriatic position; that the conference
was collapsing, because Wilson would
chau, or. acknowledge the racial and
national equality Of the japanese.
Within the same hour, Mr.. Odagiri
the famous japanese banker, men,
toned casually to Thomas W. Lamont
that there was more than one side to
the Chinese consortium plans being
pushed by The American government
and that it would be difficult for the
Japanese 70 come in if the Japanese
should leave the peace conference de-
feated on all points. Upon the same
day Lord Robert Cecil told Colonel
House that. while Baron Maxine was
Loyalty eager to aid q league Of ma
tions, it was becoming increasingly diff
ficult to assure Japarese support on
account Of the general attitude Of the
conference toward Japan. A few min
utes later Colonel House learned about
the trunks and the boxes and the ex-
pected exodus Of the Japanese delega-
tion from Paris. He got in touch with
the President at once. Some body con-
firmed the wild rumors. The Presi-
dent Immediately reversed himself in
the matter Of Kiaochau, shut himself
away from his Far Eastern advisers
and the Chinese and assented to Baron
Makino's solution. I am in q position
to know that the japanese conceded
nothing, nor did they bargain their
racial amendment for the Shantung
articles. Thev won upon their own
terms and upon facts. Mr.. Wilson lost
all the tricks, upon silly gossip.
The trunks and boxes at the Hotel
Bristol and the Hotel Meurice were
piled one upon the other in preparation
for transfer to the magnificent villa
at so Rue de Bassano, that had just
been leased for the Marquis Saonji.

to secure assent to the Chinese claims.
That night Mr.. Wilson's fame and his
power climbed higher than those of
any other man in the worlds history.
He was the Paris conference.
Now it is curious upon what droll

that l have been very serious, very
dreary, in trying to urravel IT, tangled

US all laugh, as the Japanese laughed
on the night Of April 80.
On the forenoon Of April "a, young
japanese newspaper man of no i'm
portance (and with less knowledge of
what was actually happening at Jap
anese headquarters, the Hotel Bristol,
than some of his American conferees)
typhooned into 4, Place de la Con-
corde, and whispered the news to one
oe the most admittedly brilliant Amer

The Case Of Bessarabia

The bitter controversies arising
from Old World frontier settlements
come, most often, from a clash Of
the principle of self-determiratlon
with considerations Of historic right
and economic-geographic necessity.
The Teschen district, for example,
is ethnically largely Polish, but the
Czechs claimed it on historic and
economic grounds.
No such complications exist in the
case of Bessarabia. That fertile
land between the Dniester and the
Danube delta is Rumanian by his
toric right, by nationality and by
economic interest. From the earliest
times up to 1872 Bessarabia formed
part Of the principality of Moldavia,
since 1859 united with Wallachia
into the modern Rumanian kingdom.
The separate position of Bessara ,ia
was recognized by the czars, who
left Rumanian civil law in force.
Even czaristic statistics, notorious
for their bias, admitted the Ru-
manians formed almost one-half
(47.6 per cent. to be exact) of the
population, while the number of
Great Russians was put at modest
80 per cent.
AS a matter of fact the Ruma-
mans number close to 70 per cent
After the Russian revolution the
people Of Bessarabia have declared
no less than three times their over
whelming will to adhere to the Ru-
manian r1otherland. Thus in the
elections Of November, 1919, out of
the ninety representatives chosen
seventy-eight were Rumanans and
twelve Of other nationalities. Of
the diverse racial minorities, the
most advanced, the German colonists
whose ancestors settled there over
one hundred years ago, choose to
throw in their lot with the Ruma-
| mans.
In face Of these facts the appre.
hension aroused in Rumania by Sec.
retary Colby's note Of August 10 is
natural and appreciable. Indeed
Mr.. Colby's dogmatic insistence on
a territorially reunited Russian EN-.
pire is reduced ad absurduns in the
instance Of Bessarabia-a province
annexed by Russia just hundred
years ago, one whose Rumaniar
character was never denied even by
Russian authorities and which re.

the use Of machinery as we needed
We have just now reached the point
of balance after thirty years Of re-
adjustment.
The reason we have no better mar
keting system is because q large
amount of highly organized capital in
vested in the distributing business has
succeeded in convincing the government
and most of the newspapers G am not
alluding to The Tribune) to consider
the safety Of their capital to be worth
more than the safety of a much larger
amount of highly disorganized capital
invested in farming. The farmer de-
mands that the government and the
public hear his request for better mar
keting conditions. He wants to obtain
better marketing facilities with as lit
tie friction as possible He believes
this government the best on earth
when piloted by able men, But in Da-
kota he virtually has had to take over
the state government to obtain better
marketing. The Z acmer still believes
his government is flexible enough to
help him solve his problems. He is
wiling to wait peaceably. But he is
looking forward to the coming cleo
tlon with hope-and apprehension.

4 Cheer for Henry Ford
As q Manufacturer He Is Hailed as
a Mighty Good Sport


To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The editorial on Henry Ford
this morning (Scptember 24) strikes
me as unjust to Mr. Ford and more or
less ridiculous in its far-fetched i'm
plications anent the Administration.
Disregarding the lattar, hc cwever,
which are wor'aier of c,d-fashioned
country journalism than OF a metro.
polltan paper ] enjoy and respect, it
seems to ne ths. Mr., Ford deserves
cheer ard net saeer for his action
in cuttinr prizes.
Whatever political and diplomatic
blunoers have been committed by MIR,
Ford, his course as a manufacturer his
beer that of a mighty good sport.
believe the profit per car on Ford's out
put is and has been less than that on
almost any ether. I believe his per-
centage Of profit Pr car is smaller than
the average. The enormous money
making power of the Ford plant has
been due to quantity production and
high efficiency. A survey of his record
will show always that he has abs bed
his shHro of increased costs rathe :
than load them all-and an extra proft
ON the consumer, which has Leen the
course of action OF nearly every other
manufacturer. He has played fair with
the public and with his men, and has
exhibited what I regard as the highest
business sportsman ship. 1t has paid,
Of coNrse; it always pays in the long
selfish men are too blind to see; fact
which males Henry Ford tho super
manufacturer he is.
Lay his action in slashing prices to
whar you Whichever adverti tising
vision recognition of economic facts
or just plain business sense---it sta ds
out as an Indictment of the ruthless
profiteering to which we have all been
subject. l believe Ford Is the last
man who needed to make this move,
either for the sake of orders or for his
own conscience, because his great little
car has, at its highest, never been
priced exorbitantly.
That he was one of the first to strike
at the whole structure of high prices
seems to be laudable, and The Trb-
une's imputations are unfair and un-
worthy Of itself.
AS to all thi- atuf about closed fac
tories, etc, The Tribune knows per-
fectly we'll, as Mr.. Wood, of the Amer
lean Woolen Company found out, that
when factories are willing to fix prices
on a basis of moderate profit, instead
Of consumer exploitation, they get the
orders. The country needs goods and
will pay for them, but it has grown
weary of paying through the nose.
Profteering prosperity is a dead duck,
but solid prosperity, based on fair
dealing, is very much alive. Mr. Ford
is working for that kind of prosperity.
Why try to belittle his vision?

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is grl roLsly unfortunate that
the Indian Information Bureau, under
DR.. Hardikar's direction. should be al
lowed, without contradiction, to dole out
garbled and exaggerated reports about
Indian conditions.
NOBODY with particle of imagination
would believe for moment that the two
hundred and fifty millions of British
India had marked their protest against
the welcome to the Prince of Wales.
Ihe opposition to his royal hiehness's g
reception is confined to a small number
OF the fanatical Muslims of India in
large towns and cities, of which there
are very few in the country, egged on.
as they are, by the microscopic minor
lty of educated Indians who comnose
the extremist party of Indian politics.
"A very strong repugnance to their un-
holy tactics has already been expressed
throughout the country. Sober men and
women of India are beginning to realize
that the extremists are PLAYING with
lire, which may end in disaster.
l have no doubt that the whole move
ment Of non-co0peration will fizzle out,
just as the Indian Muslin migration
into Afghanistan has ended in fiasco.
We love our King Emperor and his
heir apparent, and the whole of India
will give the Prince of Wales a welcome
the like Of which be has not received in
any other part Of the British Empire.

Prolonging q Calamity?

In the spring of 1912 Colonel
Henry Watterson said Of Woodrow
Wilson:
l.. "I3is nomination would be catas-
.trophe and his election q calamity"
:. The catastrophe happened, and
TIE calamity continues. For eight
years the general management Of
the United States has been dis
.astrously incompetent.
y. The Administration has been
Democratic from top 10 bottom. Mr..
:Wilson alone could not have accom-
ssplished the decentralization that has
rrheen accomplished. To bring the
country to its present pass he
needed the whole-hearted co0pera-
lion. Of his patty, and his party
never failed him.
~, Mr.. Cox's campaign for the Presi-
3deney is plea to be permitted to
seor1tinGe the calamity that Colonel
-,Watterson foresaw. Mr.. Cox asks
for permission to take up the work
Of disc rSanization when Mr.. Wilson

Calvin Coolidge Says
(From his address to the Somer-
Uille Republican, City Committee,
Au0ust y 1919

uiUe Republican City Committee,
august Z, 191S.)
America must furnish more than
armies and navies for the future. If
armies and navies were to be supreme,
Germany would be right. There are
other and greater forces in the world
than march to the roll of the drum.
AS we are turning the scale with our
sword now, so hereafter we must turn
the scale with The moral power of
America. 1t must be our disinterested
plans that are to restore Europe to a
place through justice when We have
secured victory through the sword.
And into new world we are to take
not only the people Of oppressed Eu-
rope but the people Of America. Out
of our sacrifice and suffering, out Of
our blood and tears, America shall have
new awakening, a rcdedication to the
cause of Washington and Lincoln, a
frmcr conviction for the right.

End Wisconsin, Enter League

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: To my mind the two most i'm
portant issues CT the Presidential cam
paign prohibition being regarded as a
settled matter) are:
First-Getting rid of Wisconsin, in
order that our country and the world
may recover health
Second-Our entrance into the Cor a
League of Nations
Do these two issues conflict?
The Republican party, it seems to
me, doesn't emphasize sufficiently the
issue of foreign relations. If the Re-
publican party leaned in this matter
more decidedly toward the attitude Of
men like George Wickcrsham, George
Haven Putnam and Elihu Root and less
toward that Of johnson and Borah I
could vote their ticket in November
with a clearer conscience and more
mental satisfaction.

ldeaIistic Starvation
g Editnr OF The Trihnna

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The League of Nations seems
to be built on the theory that if you
make your threats savage enough no.
body will ever dare defy them, snd
then you will never have to do any.
thing savage. At !cas. it is largely de.
fended on that theory. The threat
against recalcitrant state is what
President Wilson III his Indianapolis
speech so impressively described as
the deadly" and terrible" squeeze Of
the universal economic boycott (though
the President failed to specify wherein
it was most deadly and terrible, for he
did not remind US that, as we all know
by this time, it means the starvation
Of the babies Of the boycorte1 nation,
if that is food importing nstion), and
The defenders Of the league everywhere
assume that so long as we do not
pledge ourselves to sem soldiers it is
quite right and gentle that we pledge
ourselves invariably to join in. applying
this boycott with all stric.ness.
Now, this idea, shat we bind our
selves to make war by starvation
whether we make war with guns OF
not, would not be upheld as praise
worthy plan by so many high-minded
idealists if they did not think that tas
savageness of the threat would make 1t
unnecessary ever to carry it out Thls
is a very common idea among begin
ners in penology. such as inexperienced
parents and inexperienced teachers
Experience, believe, shows it false;
experience shows that the seveFest
threats are not the most certain OF
effect. Experience bids US believe thss
if we threaten to starve the babies the
time will come when we snail be caiiee
on to starve them or else back cown'
Another objection to the boycott plan
is that it's pressure is so unequal Oh
different nations. The boycott woulo
mean starvation to France or Hoilsna'
to Russia or Mexico it would not.
Governor Cox is not discussing sn
this, is he?
