Dancing was on the wide verendahs
which simulated a charming woodland

effectively arranged. The lights were
softly shaded in pink. Southern green
cry and Magnolia blooms added to the

Traffic Bufoonery

AS in almost everything that the
present city administration achieves,
the indictment lodged against the
Third Deputy Police Commissioner
combines farce with tragedy in equal
proportions. Was ever stranger
neglect of official duty" charged
against a public official, we wonder!
The whole incident suggests deca.
dence Of the police force for which
memory must needs hark back to the
days Of the Lexow committee and
District Attorney Jerome to par
allel.
The tragedy for the people of New
York is that so fine a body Of men
as the police force, brought to such
a high state Of discipline and morale
under Commissioner Woods, should
have been thus speedily undermined.
The episode Of the Police Commits
sioner accused by his own men has
it's comic side for the unconcerned
onlooker; it can mean only danger
and disgrace to the city. How far
such an example can corrupt, how
far corruption has already gone, is
yet to be ascertained. The signifi-
cance Of the indictment, however,
cannot be- escaped. A long, uphill
fight for clean police force has
been jeopardized.
No account Of the buffoonery of
the Hylan administration, from it's
head down, can blind New Workers
to the fact that corruption has again
lifted it's head and that civic deg
radiation, threatening the progress
of a generation, is upon us.

The Optimistic Circu.

The calendar and the solar system
are certainly the acme Of optimism
In this particular winter Of discon-
tent. They are racing along and
around as per timetable exactly as
If glorious summer were Just about
to be made around the corner. And
look out the window! Apparently
the weather has forgotten all it
ever learned Of vernal equinoxes or
summer solstices.
Only the circus, among human Gre
ations, seems to share this sidereal
optimism. 1t is cntraining for these
parts on schedule exactly as if it
were crocus or an equinox, or
some other equally fundamental cog
of the cosmos. Camels, elephants,
clowns, trapezes, popcorn it has as
sembled and marches forward with
out a misstep or a thought Of hesi-
tation. Rain, snow, ice, blizzards,
goloshes, the influenza, blues are
nothing in its young life. 1t steps
out to victory as if victory we're be-
yond debate, were a predestined at
tribute of circuses and spring, let
March winds rave as they would.
We own to finding much consola-
ton in this fact. Each last fall of
snow has been one too many for our
dispositions, our snow shovel, our
hope of spring or of any decently
warm thing ever again reappearing
anywhere. The noise Of the arriving
circus is the most heartening thing
we have met with. We are inclined
to believe in it. We cannot see the
vernal equinox approaching, and, for
all we know, it may have been blown
cut of existence by the big guns.
But the circus is visible, tangible,
audible, inescapable, true stuff, be-
yond doubling. We bow to it's
cosmic foresight, we toss a hat in
the air, and gladly, gratefully fall
in behind it's beating drums. Allons,
enfants!

The Navy Department cabled Ad-
miral Sims on July 10, 1917, that
while successful termination of
the present war must always be the
first Allied aim, and will probably
result in diminished tension through
out the world, the future position Of
the United States must in no way
be jeopardized by any disintegra-
ton of our main fighting feet"
This dispatch sharply differenti-
ates the United States from our
allies. 1t boldly indicates that, i'm
stead Of cooperating wholeheartedly
for the prompt defeat Of q common
enemy, we were to conserve our
main fighting fleet intact for post
bellum conditions. What were the
conditions SO impelling that we took
the risk Of withholding support from
our Associates" took the risk of a
German victory, for reasons reach

Legalized Price Fixing Collision

Albany reports the return, under
another name, of the sinister Foley
Martin bill Of year ago. This bill
was believed to be thoroughly killed.
But the cat is back and needs
another and more emphatic smash
from a bootjaek. The bill, amend
ing the general business !~-v, pro-
poses to permit labor organizations
to establish price fixing by employ
ers. In the photo engraving indus
try, for example, the union could
enter into conspiracy with employ
ers touching prices employers must
charge customers. The employers,
thus coerced into rif1ing the pockets
Of their customers as the union die
tated, would, Of course, be expected
to divide with their employees.
There would be no antitrust prose
cution, for the antitrust laws would
no longer apply to the unions.
1t is scarcely necessary to point
out the consequences if collision
were thus legalized. Whenever a
combination of concerns deemed they
needed more money they would in
cite their men to put price-fxing
stipulations into their labor con-
tracts, and the fruits Of the raid on
the public would be split.
The scheme would be capable Of
indefinite extension. Brickmakers,
steelmakers, manufacturers and pro-
ducers Of all kinds could price-com-
bine as they pleased by putting the
schedule they wished for in wage
contracts. What is proposed, there
fore, is nothing less than authority
to prey on the public according as
appetite exists.
An attempt to camouAage this
bill is made by presenting it as one
to provide that labor shall not be
deemed a commodity as to which
there is reasonable basis for differ
ences of opinion. But price fixing is
the object Of the bill, not the writing
of legal definition Of labor. 1t
represents the high water mark Of
attempts to get other peoples prop
erty without working for it.
If the bill is considered at all Il
must be amended so as to prohibit
price fixing; not wages, it is to be
borne in mind, but prices of the
articles sold to or the services Der
formed for the public.

Sir: Why should your correspondent

mournful all his cohorts grew. The

these shores they must depart or in
some lawful business start within one
year.
Now that it's rolled around the
profiteers who sold and bought wet
wares and piled up coin with more or

The Wilson-Rorah Collaboration

A glance at the roll call by which
the so-called Irish reservation was
put through the Senate sufficiently
attests the motives of those who
voted in the affirmative.
The reservation was supported by
a combination of Administration
Democrats and Republican incorrigi-
bles. These Democrats voted in No.
vember for unconditional ratifca-
ton. They have steadily advertised
a willingness to vote for ratification
again if all reservations we're
stripped away. The Irish reserva-
ton thus made no difference to them.
On the other hand, the Republican
incorrigibles have made no secret of
their purpose to vote against rati-
fication, no matter what reservations
were added. The Irish reservation
thus raede no more difference to
them than to their Administration
partners.
Not to serve Ireland, therefore,
not to create machinery by which
rights Of self determination can
be vindicated, did Hitchcock and
Borah vote together. The bond of
their union was a common desire to
defeat ratification. Both of these
thought this would be easier if the
Irish reservation were attached.
And as to treaty matters, Senator
Hitchcock is but an automaton for
the President. So the President fur
ther reveals himself through his
agent as a cold and implacable par
ricide.
But knowledge of the facts by the
great body of Americans does not
remove disagrceabls thoughts. To

Pulling Hen eeth
Or Why Teachers Turn From School
Boards to ALBANY

To the Editor of Tho Tribune.
Sir: I read in this mornings Trib-
uns that there Is a strong sentiment
among Legislators in favor Of leaving
increases In teachers salaries to local
authorities. Now, every one knows
that, as a rule, it is like pulling hen
teeth to get an increase of salary out
of any local school board, whether
rural or urban.
What about the Board Of Education
and the Board of Estimate Of the
City OF New York? "By their fruits
ye shall know them" This teacher
shortage is nothing new. 1t is simply
an old matter grown worse. In this
school, for instance, there were but
four days from September, 1913, until
May, 1919, when there were not classes
without either teachers or substitutes,
and the total number of such classes
during the year was 658, with regis
ter aggregating $4,000. What did the
local authorities" do! The simple
sum OF nothing. For over a year they
let the pay Of substitutes stand at the
pitiful sum of SO a day, though
washerwoman's wage had risen to $40,
with two meals. In November, 1919.
the pay was advanced to 81 a day, but
washerwomcn were then demanding
$4.10
Why do we teachers turn to Albany
Tor help? Because, judging from the
past, we see over the portals of the
board of Education and the Board of
Estimate the inscription, "All hope
abandon, ye who enter here"

her life at Verdun. attempted b ssab
the Allies in the back by revolutisa b
Ireland?
2. My second protest is agsinsi r.
rades on Fifth Avenue, and the way tAu
are conducted. Why should the IEih
or any group of people blockade one
of the principal thoroughfares Of the
metropolis, upset traffic, keep people
from going about their business and
disturb business concerns on Fifth Ave.

The treaty's defeat is tragedy

The treaty's defeat is a tragedy
whose poignancy is intensified by
the sordidness of the final scene,
The country beholds the President
wrecking a great undertaking for
no better reason than because he
was not allowed to ignore the Consti-
tuition. The country beholds him
assisted by group of Senators who
became infected with his narrowness
and thus were unable to lift them
selves to levels of craftsmanship.
The covenant, an ill-omened and
a stilted word that savors of hypoc-
risy, was not a great document. But
it related to q noble ideal, and at
least was gesture in favor Of peace
and a better ordered world. Amer
leans will not be proud of the fact
that for the first time in our national
history we have not Joined in an un-
dertaking which pointed to better
days.
But from the beginning there was
little chance. The inefficiency and
self-suff1ciency Of our only negotia-
tor created a bedevilment whose
waves never could be quieted. In
the final hour, completing his dis
service, he was able to command
enough Senators to drive a knife
into the heart Of his own work.
The result must not be read as
meaning that this country with
draws from the world in selfish iso-
lation. Aloofness is impossible.
This is more true now than when
Mckinley and Roosevelt first said it.
POsSlbly-nO one can foresee the
future-the influence Of this coun-
try for good will not be less because
informally applied. But the wiser
course seems to be to seize the first
opportunity, likely to be offered in
q little more than a year, to adhere
to the league.

First Aid to Hamburg

The Marine Journal protests
strongly against the scheme of using
former German passenger liners and
American cargo steamers for re-
suscitating the Hamburg-American
Company's lost overseas service.
Under this scheme, It Is represented,
American vessels would restore and
maintain the Hamburg trade routes
to the West Indies, Central and
South America, Africa and the
Orient until Germany builds ships
and resumes her ocean-carrying ac
tivities.
The Hamburger American Company
was an aggressive and powerful
propagandist in the cause of German
world domination. 1t was a political
as we'll as a commercial agency. It
interfered in American legislation
and politics, and it's organization
here was one of the principal centers
OF the German campaign of intimi-
datlon and terrorism conducted
from 1914 to 1917 by Won Bernstorff,
Won Papen, Boy-Ed and Albert. It's
officers violated our neutrality laws
and conspired to disable the German
merchant ships interned in our ports.
Its hold on American trade has been
broken. 1t has lost its immensely
valuable port facilities here. But il
IS now proposed that American
owned carriers lend themselves tenn
porarliy to the work Of putting Ham
nurg into connection with the United
States. and Of reopening it's com.
munications with the rest Of tho
world. S
There is no objection to establish
ing an American service between
New York and Hamburg, operated
for mutual benefit. But it ;s an
other thing to assign American ships
to restore Hamburg's former trade
with Latin America or with the Far
East. We need first Of all to estab-
lish our own lines to South America
and to develop our own commerce
there. Such lines, once in opera
ton, would have a chance to be-
come permanent, while we should
undoubtedly be displaced as a car
rier for Germany as soon as the
Germans made good their merchant
marine losses. For = temporary

Light at Lastl
To the Editor of The Tr;hnra


Sir: May I call the attention oY
servantless housekeepers to the fact
recorded in The Tribune of March 16
that the Acting Commissioner of I'm.
migration, Byron H. Uhl, says that the
contract labor law affecting isnmiera-
ton lays no embargo on "professiona,
actors, artists, lecturers, singers nurses
ministers Of religious denominations
professors for colleges or seminaries
persons belonging to any recognized
learned profession, or per.sns emploved
as domestic servants'?"
Many families in Europe who onco an,
ployed staff of servants can no Longer
do so, and there are plenty of servants
to spare. The question is now how to
make the connection between the serv-
antless American housekeeper and the
job|ess European servant.
