"White Wings" or Vacuum

The suggestion Of the Woman's Mu-
nicipal League that vacuum clean.
ers be used on the streets Of the city
IN place Of the present flushing sys-
tenn is we'll worth considering. In
deed, we should go further than that
and substitute the vacuum cleaner
not only for the flushing method, but
for the sweeping machine itself, and
especially for the hordes Of "white
wings" with their little pans and
brushes, than which the old woman
OF nursery fame sweeping the cob-
webs from the sky with her broom
Is not more absurd.
1t is out Of keeping with our highly
developed civilization that we should
permit the air to be filed with dust
laden germs stirred up by sweeping
machines when suction methods arc
waiting to be used, and that thou
sands OF men should be doing with
their hands a gigantic task that
could be done more cheaply and
hygienically by machinery. The men
released in this way would soon be
absorbed by productive industry,
which Is crying out az much for un-
skilled labor as for skilled.
Economic reasoning has always
overcome our senge OF humor and
we have looked on without amuse-
nient at the puny f-ethods Of the
Street Cleaning Department, even

Hungary Again a Kingdom

The Hungarian restoration, for
months the expectation of all who
have followed the developments in
that country since the overthrow of
Bolshevism, is to-day a reality. On
March rs the Hungarian National
Assembly passed resolution rein
PRODUCING the epithet "royal" into
the names of governmental institu-
tions, according to pre-revolutionary
usage. The Cabinet formed by the
Clerical politician Mr.. Alexander
Simonyi Semadam styles itself
"royal Hungarian government"
The courts of law are again called
royal courts, and sentences are pro-
nounced Gin the name Of His
Majesty the King" Apparently
Admiral Horthy, Regent Of Hun
gary, is making good in the COM
bined capacity Of stepping-stone
and accelerator (by way of firing
squads) Of public opinion.
To be sure, Hungary seems for
the moment to be kingdom without
a king. But appearances deceive,
and as an English specialist in
Austro-Hungarian affairs remarked
once, they deceive nowhere more
thoroughly than in the Danubian
lands. For it develops that the
whole world, believing all the time
that King Charles w was deposed
on October 81, 1918. and that he
afterward acquiesced ir the fact by
announcing his formal abdication,
was laboring under a deluaion.
Hungarian constitutional lawyers
proclaim now the view that under
the Hungarian constitution the
King cannot abdicate; that, once he
was crowned with the crown Of St.
Stephen he remains ruler until his
death. So we are told that Charles
~, at present denizen Of Prangin
Castle, Switzerland, is still legally
King Of Hungary, and his sixteen
months Of exile must be regarded
r erely as a prolonged weekend trip.
The outside world would have
little reason to quarrel with the
Magyar doctrine "once a king, al.
ways a king" but for it's unfortu-,
nate implication, "oncc a Hapsburg,
always a Hapsburg." The Hun
garians are entitled to choose tho
form of government under which
they want to live, though it is doubt
full whether Admiral Horthy's picked
assembly is the proper instrument
to make the choice. But the peoples
OF Czecho-Slovakia and Rumania,
faithful and gallant allies Of the En-
tentc, arc equally entitled to have
their safety guaranteed by those
western nations for whom they are
performing outpost duty.

A Misguided View

ne DOarO OIL ESClIIldCO AuQ 4p"
portionment's brief against the port
treaty and bills is based on a narrow
and suspicious view of the situation.
New York City is represented as in
danger of being victimized by an
agreement with New Jersey to de-
velop a unified port. "The treaty" :"
the brief says, "is merely an attempt
to finance private enterprise with
public funds and to escape constitu-
tional limitations upon public debt. I"
The board seems to think that the
New Jersey section Of the port would
be developed to the detriment Of the
New York side, and can be 80 de-
veloped only through an execution Of
the port treaty. Unfortunately, the
q latter assumption has no basis. The
natural terminal advantages on the
Jersey side are superior to those on
the New York side. And from the
New York point Of view the primary
advantage Of unifcation will be an
association Of interests which will
prevent New Jersey from setting up
q rival port which would eventually
overshadow our own portion of the
common harbor.
The board is looking backward, not
forward. Manhattan Island and
Long Island, with their river bar
riers, are not as favorably situated
as the Newark Bay section for an
ocean freight terminal. It is paro-
chial to think that they are and to
persist in a policy which may excite
a dangerous competition. United,
New York and New Jersey may be-
q come compliments in sound scheme
Of port expansion. Divided, they
will injure each other, and the
greater injury will fall on the nat
urally handicapped competitor.
The port bills do not eliminate
. New York City from control Of her
own port policy. Two Of the three
New York members OF the Port Au-
thority Board are to be chosen by
the city. Any action taken by the
board must be authorized by at least
two representatives of each state.
So the city would retain control of
its own property and investment. 1t
could not be exploited by hostile out
side influences.
The opposition to the port project
is inspired largely by false local
pride and distrust Of change. The
port of New York has grown with.
out much effort. Things have come
our way. We haven't been put *

A New Allied Concert

! Inc San. Reno conference will
have to discuss many Of the un-
finished peace settlements. It will
have to try to define a policy toward
Turkey and one toward Russia. But
the main problem on it's hands is to
reestablish an Allied concert for the
purpose of enforcing the German
peace treaty. If the German treaty
doesn't hold the other treaties will
not hold. A Germany which has
successfully annulled the Versailles
compact-and annulled it because Of
Allied dissensions-would soon be
in a position to start another con-
flagration in Europe.
"a German army will enter Paris
within five years." was the confident
prediction made to a Paris corre-
spondent Of The New York Times
who recently visited the occupied
portions Of western Germany. This
sounds fantastic. Yet it already
embodies the hope Of many power
full elements in the German state.
1t may become the set purpose of
all Germans if the Allies weaken
or quarrel among themselves every
time Berlin demands modification
of the treaty on the ground that
one clause or another of it is un-
reasonable and cannot be executed.
The Allies cannot enforce the
treaty If each of them sets up the
theory that it is free to Judge in a
particular case whether the pro-
vision involved is worth enforcing.
Eack ratifying power has vested
rights under the treaty which can
not equitably be denied by a refusal
; on the part of other powers to
. cooperate in compelling German
, compliance. There Is an agitation
afoot in Great Britain and else
where for revision" Of the treaty
J by the easy method of letting the
Germans denounce in detail those
/ provisions which they find least ac-
ceptable.
Such revision by acquiescence
involves bad faith. The only legiti-
, mate way to modify the peace terms
Is to obtain the consent Of all the
powers affected. France and Bel
gium have the largest stake in a
strict execution Of the treaty, for
they look to Germany for large
material reparations. They are
justified in resenting policy by
which they would have to shoulder
unaided the burden Of resisting Ger
man annulments.
The excuse offered By those who
favor revision" by sufferance is
that the treaty contains many "im-
possible conditions" intended to be
modified later. 1t is true that GER
tain questions were passed over to
the league Of nations for settlement.
The Reparations Commission also
has large powers In the way Of de-
termining the extent of German
contributions and the methods Of
payment. These are official bodies
IN which each major Allied belliger
ent Is represented and can protect
itself by an Individual veto. But
neither the council Of the league of
nations nor the Reparations Com
mission can dictate to Germany
unless the major Allied powers rep
resented on them act in unity, and
unless they also contribute the mill
tary power to enforce decisions
unanimously arrived at.
Moreover, treaty violations like
the expedition into the Ruhr district
and Germany's failure to disarm
cannot be dealt with by any COM
mission or league created un1er the
treaty. To defeat tpem the Allied
powers must bring trset pressure
