Art and the Machine
Why Hand Work Must Always SUI

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: May I add further comment Y
the letter recently published by A. E.E
in The Tribune relative to machine ere
duetion and its effect on art?
Machines and their output are ono
of the products of democrsey-m
should say causes? And sssisH
should be thankful to machines toy

needs Of the masses. Without MAJ
chimes the great majority would hsss

the present enormous population nisns
not even exist if it were not for me-
chine production. The worlds swifts
increasing population almost exhsasa
the products Of machinery, so grsss Y
the demand of the masses. Partly ~
cause of swift production maehlhs
products have usually failed to rehss
such art possibilities as the maehihe
might be capable Of. Doubtless ssess
improvements in the art value OF nR
chine-made products could neverthsie~
be obtained If manufacturers were "

However, the machine is incapash =

Turning Against Lenirae

The German Independent Social
lists who came back from the Moscow
meeting of the Third Internationale
saw what others have seen. Karl
Ballod, one Of the delegates, says:
"Whatever our attitude toward the
Russians may be, the fact remains
that they have not given proof that
they are able to establish socialism
in their country" He also advised
earnestly against recommending
German workmen to settle in Rus
STA.
Georg Ledebour, one Of the leaders
in the Spartacist revolt Of the win
ter Of 1918-'19-which revolt was
subsidized through Ambassador Joffe
by the Bolshevist government-has
turned against the Soviets. He de-
nounced Lenine for applying "dan-
gerous anti-Socialist policies" Frau
Louise Zeitz also advocated cutting
loose from the dictatorship which
Moscow is trying to assume over the
proletariats Of other European ma
tions.
These confessions Of disgust with
Lenine's leadership and achieve
rnents merely corroborate opinions
expressed after the German revolu-
tion by the more intelligent German
Majority Socialists. In Germany
After the Armistice" Lieutenant
Maurice Berger, of the Belgian
army, tells Of an interview he had in
1919 with Eduard Bernstein, one Of
the recognized pillars Of German
socialism. Bernstein was asked
why he opposed the spartacist
movement. II condemn their pro-
posals," he answered, (which would
carry US back to primitive social
ism, taking no account of the neces-
stiles Of national life. Boil
shevism is a madness which has
seized many minds. It Is one Of che
consequences of this terrible war,
which has arrested the evolution of
socialism, created hatreds among the
nations and dug chasms between
classes"

Not Concerned
TO the Editor of The Tribune

40 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The message cabled to Lloyd
George by Mayor Hylan, reported in
the evening papers, is q disgraceful
exhibition Of meddling in the affairs
OF another nation with which we are
on the most friendly terms. And fur
Their, the Mayors statement Is not the
truth when he says he speaks for all
the citizens of New York. He speaks
at the request Of few Irish politi-
clans.
The substantial citizens Of New York
are not interested in the case of a
man deliberately committing suicide in
q foreign country. We are more con-
cerned about the more than one hum
dred policemen and soldiers who have
been murdered in cold blood by those
ruffians known as the Sim Feiners.

Coxiisra1

The exhibit made by Edmund H.
Moore, who came before the Ken
yon committee as the conAdant Of
Candidate Cox, was pitiful. He had
no facts-did not pretend to have
any. And his principal had no bet
ter information, he said, than him
self.
The only new fact he brought out
was that the Cox charges were based
ON an article Mr.. Cox had read in o
Democratic newspaper. Did Mr..
Moore care to read the article to
the committee? No, he did not. It
was better to leave it in oblivion.
Yet on this tenuous foundation
Mr.. Cox built his superstructure Of
scandal.
No wonder decent Democrats feel
none too kindly toward their stand
ard bearer. They are going through
the motions Of supporting him. But
they perceive his quality. He has
revealed himself, and IL Is charitable
to assume that he really believes
that the way to reach the Presidency
is to travel path marked by the
footsteps Of other cheap politicians.
Our neighbor The World still
seems affected by what an F. p. A..
contributor calls Dementia Procox,
but The Times and The Evening
Post have apparently had enough,
and even Hearst's American finds
the dose not easy to swallow.
Yet though in this case falsehood
has not been able to travel leagues
while truth was getting its boots on
let US not minimize the harm Gov
ernor Cox has done. What is the
trouble with the country? One
thing is that certain groups, for
mean, selfish advantage, have too
long labored to manufacture sus-
picion against other groups. Gov
crnment Of, for and by SANDER is
being substituted for government Of,
for and by the people.
That fine concert Of spirit, that
realization that, however we may diff.
fer in opinion, we are Americans all
and would do the right and patriotic
thing has been steadily clawed and
hacked at. Those who indulge in
this vicious propaganda, whose Oh.
ject is to create distrust which can
be capitalized, are poor friends OF
the Republic. 1t Is serious when a
contender for the Presidency be-
comes SO mad to win as to base his
campaign on the premise that his
opponents are deliberate corruption
ists--declares they are seeking to
buy control Of the government and
intend to use its powers to thrust
bayonets at the threats Of labor.
To prosper, the country must have
a rebirth Of confidence. Profes.
sional arousers Of discomfort, hoping
to fatten when envy and hate become
dominant passions, will not give this
to us. It should be the pride Of
every honest partisan, If he really
has faith In his doctrines, TO be more
than fair to those who disagree with
him. When he assails their motives
ne is not SO much describing them as
furnishing picture Of what he
would do in their place.

Exceeded His Powers

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Mayor Hylan greatly exceeded
his powers when he cabled asking the
release Of MacSwiney "in the name of
all the people Of New York City" and
$50 that our war aims should not be
disgraced."
If Mayor Hylan better upheld and
understood principle instead of senti-
mentality he would command more
respect from the people of New York,
the majority Of whom by no means
acknowledge him as their spokesman.

ltaly's Dependence

Eduard Bernstein, the eminent
German Socialist, speaking Of the
attempts to introduce Bolshevism
into Germany, remarks that the sys-
tenn would be "more dangerous here
than it is in Russia, for Russia is
an agrarian country, while Germany
Is an industrial country"
Russia is economically self-suffi-
cient---is able to supply at least the
primitive needs Of her primitive peo-
pie. Russian Bolshevism has lasted
because the peasant, when driven to
it, can get along in a fashion without
trade. But trade is the life blood of
industry, and so the Bolshevist blight
has particularly withered Russian
cities, all depopulated except Mos
cow, where political autocracy
with an army seizes from the peas
ants food for limited ration.
The British Empire is likewise
economically self-suAicient -- could
endure if its scattered parts held TO-
gether and it's fleet prevented a
break in communications. Likewise
the United States is economically
self-sufticient, and so is Brazil, and
so during long centuries has been
China.
But Of the principal European
countries Italy is economically the
least independent. She lacks metals,
does not raise enough food to
meet the requirements Of her popu-
lation. About the only thing she has
in abundant store is labor. Recog-
nizing these facts, Italian states
manship has labored in two direc-
tions. First, Italian industries have
been built up which have converted
raw material brought in from other
countries. Second, the Italian gov
eminent, more than that of any
other modern nation, has counte-
nanced, even encouraged, emigra-
ton.
1t follows from all this that the
Bolshevist industrial system, should
it secure control, would have much
more severe immediate effects, and
hence last less long, than in Russia.
Trade rests on confdence-on a sell
er's belief that his buyer has both the
ability and the wish to pay. Would
France and Germany, Great Britain
and the United States be willing to
ship raw materials in large quanti-
ties to the committees in charge of
sovietized factories on open account?
They would not. No blockade would
need to be declared.
The Italian government, represent
ing all the people Of Italy, has put
forth herculean efforts to get credits
abroad, convertible into supplies on
which Italians could work. Much
has been secured, but not enough, as
the price Of the Ira attests. DESTROY
all confidence, and there would be
nothing.
Burke remarked that he knew no
way to draw an indictment against
a people. Similarly there is no
court competent to issue an injunc-
ton forbidding a people embarking
on suicide by starvation. A popula-
ton can declare hunger strike if it
will. Italy faces the questions of
whether her masses have q liking
for greater misery or whether they
prefer chance to be happy.

AS our beginnings in our endings fail,
One finds lost ventures in each olden

How men crown heroes for losing

And pity is the amaranth of fame.

Her crew have lived that drank until

Then scampered boisterous in the

Down to Che quay below Iolcos hill,
And bent unjaded to the cracking oars
Crowding the Argo on to magic shores,
Rowing as lads can row that leap
with glee
Straight from the revel to the reveille,
They won, but yet they failed, when
all is told;
That tabled fleece they took was found
FOOLS gold.
Their captain won, but could not learn
to wear
The black-eyed witch he brought from
over there.
What Of the Argo, was she left to rot,
Bleaching her bones upon the sand

Though poets have not bothered to
record,
No doubt the good 1olcos shipping
board
Conveyed this craft that Greece had
pinned her pride on
To certain canny huckster men of

Doubtless she made the semites nanv

But still her name I think that wa

with the manuscript of his prayer in

to gesticulate and address the au-
