Vanished With the Sun

That heavy dew upon which the
Cox boom was foated at San Fran
CISCO, IN spite of all that weeping
MI. Bryan and throbbing Mr. Cum
mlngs and all the righteous cohorts
of Administration job holders could
do, has just about vanished. A few
secret sparkles may lie concealed
, about Trailsend. For the ordinary
citizen. voter and consumer of damp
ness there is not enough left to flavor
a cocktail, much less assuage the
honest thirst of Old Soak, Mr.. Don
Marquiss client and hero.
That cocksure young man, Mr..
George White, chairman of the Dem
ocratic National Committee, has
given the finishing touch to this IL
descent dream, whispered so hope
fully, soto uoce, by Mr.. Cox's faith
fuls at San Francisco and dissent
mated underground from barroom to
barroonl, via the brass-ral circuit.
Said he of prohibition in that mem
orable interview which so grieved
our neighbor The Times: Il do not
regard it as an issue. 1t is only a
question of law enforcement Of the
Eighteenth Amendment And, fur
Their, when asked whether Governor
CoX's record would not show wet ten
denotes, he answered bluntly, II do
not think So" Showing plainly, we
gather, that while they do not hear
very much of the League of Nations
out in Ohio they hear enough Of
prohibition to know that even light
dew is no sort of Presidential sail
ing ground.
1t is possible to understand why
"The Times" slaps Mr.. White quite
sharply on the wrist for his candor,
but we do not find its argument
equally comprehensive. There is no
call "for volunteer interpreters of
the views of two men with such
notable gifts of expression" as Presi-
dent Wilson and Governor Cox, it
declares. But granting these gifts
Of expression, it is the sad fact that
since the convention. both men,
touching the league and touching
liquor, have uttered nothing but 81
lence, and Mr. Whites little inter
view was the first ray of light tend
ing to reveal where these two so
notably expressive men stood.
Perhaps we shall know more after
Mr.. Cox's speech of acceptance. And
again we may know less. In either
event, we doubt if ever the Dayton
dew is restored to that pristine
freshness with which it rested upon
the hills of San Francisco what
time the nomination of a Democratic
candidate for the Presidency still
hung in the balance.

facile phrase that it will contrve IF
possible" to compose differences Of
this nature" The Republican plank
on this question is more straightfor-
ward and clear.
STRIKES AGAINST GOVERNMENT
Both parties are happily in accord in
opposing the right to strike against the
government. 1--WE deny" says the Re-
publican platform, "the right to strike
against the government, but the rights
and interests of all government en-
ployees must be safeguarded by i'm
partial laws and tribunals"
The Democratic platform declares:
with respect to government serv-
ice, we hold distinctly that the rights
Of the people are paramount to the
right to strike"
While the language of the two planks
varies it is of supreme satisfaction to
all citizens to realize that the two
great parties are united on this funda-
mental principle of public order and
security.

Reventlow and Russia

The possibility Of Russian inva-
SION of eastern Germany, conjured
up BY the success of Soviet arms in
Poland, is discussed by Count Ernest
ReyentloW. To say that he is happy
over the prospect would be, perhaps,
going too far; but he makes it clear
that there are advantages to Ger
many in direct contact with the
Soviet republic and urges negotia-
tl9ns with Moscow be started at
once.
Reventlow does not believe that the
Soviet troops would actually overrun
Germany, even if they reached the
frontier. The Russian leaders, he
argues, are likely to discern more
profit in q close economic and mill
tary cooperation with Germany as
she IS than in setting up in that
country a Bolshevik regime, with
all the contingent chaos and unccr-
tdhty In other words, Russia can
get much more out Of "bourgeois
Germany than from a Germany
forcibly .Bolshevized. And as Ger
many needs Russia, too, the logical
thing for the German government is
to anticipate events and take the
initiative in the direction of Russo
German alliance.
Reventlow suggests what the first
undertaking of this alliance should
be. The Soviet government has a
large army, which must be kept busy.
Nothing isAcasier. Attack Rumania.
"A great Balkan campaign would
open up a splendid perspective and
would throw the Entente into

hopeless embarrassment, while Rus
sia could derive increasing benefit
from the alliance with Germanv
or course, intimate contact with
Russia would strengthen Bolshevil
agitation at home-but that dam
ger is present, anyway, argues the
count, and must be taken into the
bargain. The advantages of the
Russian alliance make the increased
risk worth while.
Europe resounds with the German
official plea that only a large Ger
man army can save the West from
the spread of Bolshevism. And along
comes the hell-roarin' count to give
away the game; to urge quite frank
~ that Germany should allv herself
with this same Bolshevism. Skinninp
a fox twice is great art, but it's
practice is not helped by too much
publicity.

Downtrodden Ireland
tor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your spondent W. T. Dun
can asks that | explain to him how Ire
land is downtrodden
Ireland is downtrodden, first, be-
cause it has no political freedom.
Eighty per cent of the voting popula-
ton of Ireland voted for republican
form of government. England refuses
to recognize their choice and uses force
to suppress any attempt to form an
Irish republic This in itself is an act
of Northumberland
Ireland is downtrodden because it is
without personal freedom. Men and
women are being continually thrown
into Jail and even executed without the
semblance of trial by jury. Ireland
is overrun by an army of occupation.
Soldiers break into houses on the least
pects.' The cannon and machine gun
are conspicuous throughout Ireland
Ireland is downtrodden because it
is taxed without representation.
ElSnty per cent OF ireland Is without
representatives. in the British Parlia-
ment; still, that so per cent must needs
pay taxes. Shades Of rs, has the world
SO changed that oppression is unrec-
ognizable? Is Mr.. Duncan satisfied?
There are in America three or four
times as many Irish as there are in Ire
land. Why did these men leave their
homes in such numbers? Is it because
Ireland is the land of such great per
sonal freedom as Mr. Duncan claims?
When nation is bled white of its man
hood in such alarming proportions
something must be rotten in that
country. FRANCIS XAVIER HERR.

Just Documents

The letters of Senator Lodge
which George R. Bishop has given
to the public through The Tribune
expose the baselessness of charge
which not few have been deceived
into accepting.
On February % last. just after he
had called up the treaty to make d
second effort for ratification, Senator
Lodge wrote to Mr.. Bishop:
The treaty can be ratified when
ever the minority are willing to &C
cept the reservations which a ma or-
ity Of the Senate feel are absolutely
necessary to safeguard the United
States. and you know, OF course, that
il was on my motion that the treaty
was again brought up for considera-
ton. There may be some changes of
wording to meet certain objections
which have been made. but there can
be no change Of principle in any of
the reservations adopted by the Sen
ate last November The decision
rests with the minority. and what
tie final outcome VIII be no one can
predict at this time"
On July l last, after the nomina-
ton al Chicago. Senator Lodge wrote
again to Mr.. Bishop:
The passage You quote from my
letter represented my position then
and represents my position now.
have never ehaneed it, The proof
shat / was ready to ratify the treaty
is that voted twice to ratify it with
reservations. As for meeting all the
charges the Democrats make, Of
course that is perfectly useless. One
can only trust to the facts, which Is
vha. do. OF course the reserva-
ton declaration about the league
in our platform does not repudiate
what We have done before. Ii sus-
tars the Senate in its attitude. 1t
makes no promises for the future"
No comment is necessary, except,
perhaps. to remark that thirty-four
Republican Senators, including
Lodge and Harding, voted to ratify,
and with them voted twenty-three
Democratic Senators, including Sen
ator Underwood, the Senates Demo-
cratic leader, but twenty-nine
Democratic Senators, obeying White
House orders, voted against ratifca-
ton, and these, with the Republican
recalcitrants that Senator Lodge was
unable to shepherd into agreement
with the main body of the party,
made up more than the one-third
able to defeat ratification.
Who defeated the treaty? The
President plus the Republican tree
oncilables. There was a voting ALI
ance to defeat between the President
And This, in spite of all Senator
Lodge could do, controlled more than
one-third of the Senate.

The Case Against Suffrage
Old Charges and Counter Charges
Discussed BY the Ants

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In one of your news items of
Sunday, the 25th, we are very unjust
ly accused of circulating garbled quo
tations to prove certain suffrage lead
ers are opposed to the marriage tie.
Most of the damaging quotations
from suffrage leaders are from signed
articles in suffrage organs. We know
the instances referred to as cases of
"garbling." One was the circulation
OF an interview of a certain suffrage
leader in a suffrage newspaper. Six
months later the interview was denied
altogether, and then the woman re
lerred to wrote to the reporter that
she did not object at all to quoting
the interview. but only to the "garbled
extracts when, as matter of fact
the whole thing was given as we had
found it.
Another interview was not denied
until after six months. as we have
proved by examination of contempo-
Fary suffrage organs-although the al
legged statement was commented upon
otherwise by suffragists. 1t was still
circulated as sample of what suffra
gist leaders were approaching in their
atavistlc march, because the precise
language attributed to her by this we'll
known spondent was later heard
from her lips in a Congressional hear
ing.
We trust that you will also print
our reply to the statement of suffra-
glst that the majority of women in
New York were found to be for double
suffrage.
The majority Of women referred to
was deduced from the results of
gigantic card distribution; and al
though nearly every woman received
more than one card, her name was
counted every time as a suffragist. We
know Of one who received thirty, and
faithfully signed each one
In Connecticut petitions were circu-
lated under guise of securing money
to aid philanthropic enterprises. and
signers were not told Gin a consider
BILE proportion of instances) that the
petition was merely plea for the vote.
Some of the names found on the list
we're those of women long since in
their graves. In West Virginia the
petitions were circulated under the
pretence of securing the release of
prisoners in German war camps Gas
shown by oath in THE Charleston
Daily Mail"), and the local Western
Union declared that the avalanche of
kilograms received by the legislators
were not genuine, but were forged on
a machine manufactured for the pur-
pose. In addition to this, many lists
of names alleged to urge woman suf-
frage have been found to include wom-
en- who were active members of anti
suffrage associations.
We believe that the poll of women
of Ohio, revealing nine to one against
suffrage throughout the state; in Mary
land, showing twenty to one. and in
Wilmington, Del. with eighteen to one
in the city itself. are far better ndi-
cations Of the sentiment of the average
woman specially since New York
contains an enormous proportion of
single women from other states

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING

I'VE recognize the justice of col
lective bargaining as a means of
promoting good Will, establishing
closer and moro harmonious rela-
lions between employers and en-

Of industrial justice
The Democratic announcement is:
Labor, as well as capital, is en-
titled to adequate compensation.

resentatives Of their own selection.
Neither class, however, should at
any time nor in any circumstances

STRIKES AND LOCK-OUTS

Both parties deplore the occurrence
and recurrence of strikes and lock-
outs, the language of the Republican
plank being as follows:
"The strike or the lock out, as a
means of settling industrial disputes,
inhicts such loss and suffering on the
community as to justify government
initiative to reduce its frequency and
limit its consequences"
The Democratic plank states:
Resort to strikes and lock outs,
which endanger the health or lives of
the people, is an unsatisfactory de-
vice for determining disputes, and the
Democratic party pledges itself to
contrive, if possible, and put into
effective operation fair and COM

gaining. The other platform merely
announces the right of collective bar
gaining and expresses a limitation on
such right when it will put in jeop-
srdy the public welfare" The latter
also proclaims that both labor and
capital, operating through collective
bargaining, has the indefeasible right
"of speaking through representatives
OF their own selection" This latter
clause is adroitly drawn and obvious
y designed to attract the attention of
organized labor.
In the report of the second indus
trial conference called by the Presi-
dent the following statement is made.
(P. 300:
"The term collective bargaining
IS herein used means negotiation be-
tween an employer or an associ-
alton of employers on the one side
and the employees, acting as group,
on the other. There are two types of
collective bargaining as thus defined
one IN which the employers act as a
group through the trade or labor
union; the other in which they act as
group through some other plan of
employee representation.
An analysis of the heated contro-
verslcs that are current with refer
ence to collective bargaining ind-
Gates that the employees place the
emphasis on the right of wage earn
ers to bargain collectively, and that
the employers place the emphasis on
the right of employers to bargain or
refuse to bargain collectively at their
discretion.'
1t is clear that the Democratic plat
form handled this particular phase of
collective bargaining as though it were
an extremely hot baked potato. If they
admitted the right Of employees to select
their representatives they would have
denied the entire principle of collective
bargaining. But they did not dare to
assert that capital had a right to re-
fuse to bargain collectively at their
discretion. The Republican declara-
ton, therefore, on this question is more
sincere and consistent.

PUBLIC UTILITIES

In the field of public utilities the
Republican platform favors the estab-
lishment of an impartial tribunal ito
make an investigation Of the facts and
to render decision, to the end that
there may be no organized interruption
OF service necessary to the lives, health
and welfare of the people" Decisions
from such established tribunals are
morally, not legally, binding, and the
Republican party makes it perfectly
clear that such tribunals will not take
jurisdiction of any subject matter so
long as the public service is inter
rupted. On this vital industrial ques-
ton the Democratic platform is silent.

NO COMPULSORY ARBITRATION

IL
In private industry the Republican
platform states:
I'VE do not advocate the principle
of compulsory arbitration, but we
favor impartial commissions and bet
ter facilities for voluntary media
ton, cancellation and arbitration,
supplemented by that full publicity
which will enlist the influence of an
aroused public opinion. The govern
ment should take the initiative in in
viting the establishment of tribunals
or commissions for the purpose Of
voluntary arbitration and of investi-
CATION of disputed issues"
Against this clear and unmistakable
language the Democratic platform
merely alleges:
1--WE are opposed to compulsory
arbitration as method plausible in
theory but a failure in fact"
But here again both parties are in
accord as unitedly disappearing of the
principle of compulsory arbitrat ton in
private industrial disputes. The sound
ness of these particular concurring pro-
posals cannot, think, be seriously
questioned.
