A Plea From Greeks
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The League of Friends of
Greece in America, on the occasion of
the recent unanimous vote Of the
United States Senate on a resolution
expressing its sense that northern
Epirus, including Korytsa, should be
awarded by the peace conference to
Greece and be incorporated into the
free Kingdom of Greece, wishes to ex-
press It's profound gratitude to YOUR
publication for the assistaMtN, YOU have
rendered to the cause of Hellenism.
The League of Friends of Greece
1eels that to large degree the sympa
thetic attitude of the United States
Senate and the American people in gem
eral toward the problems of Greece is
due to your generous publication of
the facts.
The league now feels that one more
duty remains, and that duty is to use
Its influence to have the European
powexs permit the Greek army to oc-
cupy northern Epirus immediately and
safeguard the imperled lives of the
Christian Greek Epirotes from the in
roads Of Moslem Albanian bands.
May we bespeak your generous as
sistance N this final effort of the
league? w. S. FELTON,
President of the League of Friends
of Greece in America

ately felt. What counts with re-
spect to defation is not the annual
production but the total existent gold
supply of the world available for
money use. This has been about
400,000,00O ounces. So fall off in
production Of 100000 ounces is
relatively small.
But, on the other hand, there is a
regular normal increase in the de-
mand for gold through an expansion
Of business. There are also the gold
requirements Of the arts, in recent
years very heavy. Likewise, pri-
vate boarding of gold, such as now
marks Europe, makes gold dead. But
boarding is offset by such dissipa.
tions as have occurred in Russia and
the Central nations. The treasures
of the Gar and the two kaisers are
coming into circulation. Taking
these factors together, it is probable
the money gold stock of the world is
about What it was, but will soon tend
to diminish.
1t is urged on the Ways and
Means. Committee to grant a bonus
to the gold miners, or (Which would
be the same thing) to count their
product as worth $40 an ounce.
This would obviously prolong and in
tensify imitation. A stronger argu-
ment can be made for the contrary
proposal-to lay a tax on gold min
ing further to reduce the gold out
put, and thus to achieve defation
gradually. The world now sees the
evil of money too cheap, and it was
most fortunate that this country did
not accept Bryan's advice. If a So
cent dollar is uncomfortable, 25-
cent one would be more so.

Natural Dehation

The postwar period has steadily
vindicated the principles of old-fash-
ioned political economy-those So
called natural laws Of production
and industry for some time derided
as archaic and not applicable in
society which is master OF it's own
destiny. But events are in accord
with the predictions of professors of
the Dismal Science.
The latest information concerns
what has happened to the gold sup,
ply. There is a rapid diminution,
due to the closing of mines from the
rise in the wage rate. The price of
gold ($20.67 per ounce) does not
huctuate, but with the wages of
miners and the cost of mine sup
plies doubled, low grade ore is not
lifted and reduced. In 1914 the
worlds production exceeded 22,OOO.-
600 ounces. In 1919 it was approx.
mately 16,000,000 ounces, and this
year it will probably not exceed a.
100000 ounces.
Thus there is automatic dehation.
for shrinking of the base contracts
the credit structure it carries. A
violent rise in wages shuts down
mines, which operate under con-
dltlons where gold making is a
manufacturing industry, and under
the quantitative theory of money the
price pendulum should slow down
and then swing the other way. The
number of days or hours consumed
in merger workings to produce an
ounce Of gold furnishes a measure of |
othsr time compensation or wages.
The effect of decrease in gold |
production is, of course, not immedi

A Preferred Partner
What the Employee Must
Come to Understand

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: l enter protest against cartoon
by Ding" in your issue of the Gath.
We are in times of readjustment, and
every effort should be made to assist in
right thinking and true action.
Ding" shows labor being scolded for
asking more wages while the owners of
a manufacturing concern are eating q
pie of 400 per cent profits. This is not
in accord with the facts, but if ding"
thinks he has a basis for the state
ment, he should be honest enough to
show that 80 per cent of the alleged
profits were being coniiscated by the
national government by the excess
profits tax law, so that the owners of
the corporation whose long years of
labor and savings had created the plant
which provided the wages and tax mad
left for themselves only a small burnt
crust of the pie, and with that small
portion the condemnation Of the
"Dlngs' and writer's who never them
Selves furnished brick for a factory
or a spike for railroad.
There are but two sides to the indus
trial and social queston-the right side
and the wrong side. The right one is
the experience of the ages, which is.
that man must work for his sustenance
and for the sustenance of those who are
his dependents. To work and save is the
duty OF every one, and as savings are
only stored up labor, the right to them
IS just as sacred as is the undisputed
right of every man to his labor of to-
day. The wrong side of the question is
that of those who would destroy and
disrupt all property under the false
claim Of assisting those who have but
little. Ther> can be no such assistance,
because the tNs;t effect Of the attempt
would be to break down society, which
would mean that all would fall together,
and the first to suffer would be those
who now work with their hands.
The employee is entitled to have the
knowledge that he is a preferred part
ner in his line of industry and receives
the largest share of the income of the
company Of which he is a part, and
that the success of his concern is his
success and his advantage, and it is only
his enemy who teaches by picture or pen
the economic fallacy that the interests
of the employed and employer are an
tagonistic. The great fact is that both
New-York tribune., 1920-05-27

were untouched is mentioned by
Obregon, who insinuates that they
were parties to the plot, for they
were unassailed and did not use their
weapons to protect their chief.
Mexican history is full of records
of betrayals and cruelties. Men who
pretend to be civilized and whose
good manners often impose on for
eigners- relapse into savagery. No
wonder is it that Mexico plunges
from one tyranny iryo another and
her leaders are able to command no
trust. A dark land is Mexico. Obre-
gon seems doing the best he can to
reestablish civilization, but his task
is heavy one.
New-York tribune., 1920-05-27
Speedy Action

Fairness to Armenia and to our
late allies requires a speedy response
to the request transmitted from San
Reno for this country to accept a
mandate over Armenia.
What the answer will be is al
ready known and there is no reason
for prolonged debate. Armenia,
whose independence our State De-
partment has recognized, is gravely
injured by uncertainty as to her
fate, and Great Britain, France and
Italy have many things to attend to.
Distance does not lend cnchant-
ment to the Armenian project. 1t is
no secret that the Turks and Kurds
have no intention of leaving Ar
menia alone, and the Bolshevist
armies are pressing forward from
the Caucasus. Acceptance of the
mandate would plunge US into one
war, and perhaps into two. More
over, in the region assigned to Ar
menia are many Turks and others
who are in possession of lands the
Armenians claim to be theirs. We
would be expected to carry on great
dlspossess proceedings or become at
once unpopular with our wards.
Few American mothers have any
desire to send their boys to partici-
pate IN the venture Of occupying the
Asiatic Balkans, and what American
mothers do not want American
fathers are little likely to want.

Carranza's Death

Mexican explanations, even though

ical opponents arc always to be ac-
cepted with reserve. KILLED while
trying to escape" is the common
formula. 1t takes time for the truth
to come out, and often it never does.
General Obregon, in his cable to
The Tribune, speaks of the survivors
as agreeing there was a treacherous
assassination by Rodolfo Herrera, a
bandit leader recent y on Carranza's
side, but suddenly changing his pro-
fessed allegiance. The fact that the

A Platform or a Ditch?

The Republican leaders have in
their hands the opportunity to pre-
sent to the Chicago convention a
more carefully drafted and more
representative platform than has
ever been achieved before by any
party. In the reports of the advi-
sorry platform committee now in the
hands of the national committee is a
wealth of material-the views of
representative Republicans the coun-
try over and the conclusions of re-
search and debate ~ committees
which, properly utilized, cannot fail
to initiate a new era in platform
building.
The Tribune hopes greatly that
the fullest advantage will be taken
of this material. The summaries of
the committee reports should be pub
lished at the earliest practicable
date. The full reports should be
placed in the hands of the members
of the convention forthwith. The
leaders Of the party should urge
upon the members of the resolutions
committee the desirability of con-
sulting and carefully considering at
every step the recommendation Of
these reports.
1t is already plain that some of
the reactionary leaders of the party
are unsympathetic toward this new
method Of platform making. Their
attitude is easily to be understood.
The change makes for publicity, for
debate by the rank and file, for the
drafting of downright statement
of progressive principles and prof.
ects rather than safety first, bomb.
proof shelter, constructed for cam
palgn purposes only. There are the
best of reasons why the progressive
elements of the party should have
placed themselves behind the plan
and the stand-patters should view
its workings with distrust.
Much has been said of the prerog-
atives Of the convention and the
resolutions committee. But how
much respect do the old-time meth
DDS of writing a platform-frst, in
secret, by carefullf culled drafts
man, and, second, by a resolutions
committee unaided by preliminary
Investigations and compelled to pass
upon the fate of the party in a few
jammed hours-how much respect
do such time-honored tactics show to
any one, least of all the voters of the
nation?
For such private preliminaries
and hasty rescrambling there can
now be substituted draft that Is
the result of months of investigation
by the leaders Of the party. The
final decision must, of course, rest,
as always, with the resolutions COM
mittee and the convention. The plan
relates only to preliminaries. But in
our conception it is a change which
looks to the permanent bettering of
party government and convention
methods.
Upon the attitude Of the Republi-
can leaders now toward this reform
may we'll depend the character of
the platform to be adopted at Chi
ago-whether it is to be a clear and
courageous program Of progress
sive party or only defensive ditch
planned for safety and leading no.

Guard to die in, but about the las,
