Why the Air Mail Filters Were
Burned TO Death.

The Post Office Department an
nounces that it has discovered thai
the mail airplanes which caught fire
and crashed, killing airmen and de-
stroying mail, were defective. The
gasolene feed system was wrong, the
drainage system was wrong and the
radiator was wrong.
But when this newspaper, begin
ming a year ago, called attention again
and again to the sacrifice Of life In the
air mail service Mr.. BURLEsoN could
not see that anything was wrong
except this newspaper.
In a news bulletin issued by Mr.
BuRLEsoN's Office these confessions
are now made:
1.-THE Investigation made by the
Post Office Department as a result Of
recent accidents to J. L. monoplanes
has shown that the fires which caused
the loss of the machines and the
death Of the occupants were the re-
suit principally Of detective gaso-
lene feed system.
"There was, also. no provision for
ventilating the fuselage or draining
the bottom of the fuselage so that
the leaking fuel could escape. 1t
ID,
and was ignited either by backfiring
from the starved motor or by flames
from the insufficently protected ex-
haust manifold.
at was found that the engine ran
at very high temperature owing to
the fact that the heavy vibration
caused leaks in the radiator which
quickly reduced the water supply,
causing preignition."
Then follows list of recommended
lions made by "our experts and "con'
Cured in by experts of the Army Ali
Service, after they had made an ex
animation of the machines"
But what were ''our experts doing
when the machines We're bought
What were they doing after the first
crashes q year ago? How many deaths
must occur before "our experts" are
asked to look at an airplane?
The Postmaster-General declared
when we suggested that he suspend
his air mail service until there should
be no such tragedies, that only "stupit
partisanship" prompted the sugges
ton. Not until two more brave mer
were killed did he make move!
But there are only five months more
of Burlesonism.

Present Potential

1t is no wonder English diplomacy
fostered the baby republics Of Estho-
MIA, Courland, Livonia, Lithuania,
Georgia and Azarbaijan in the hope
of encircling Russia with special door
ways to which only English finance
should have the password. 1t is no
wonder England could not warm up
TO the idea of keeping the Polish cor
ridor open when she could not get
control of it. The difference between
sol 900, 100000 and $4,000, 100000
represents huge margin of possible
profits, and England, sensibly enough,
wants to conserve as large share Of
these profits as possible for herself.

ARTICLE XIII.
Its Vague Wording Makes 1t Source
of Danger.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: I have
read with attention the two communion
tions, one from Raymond l.. Fosdick anc
the other from Mrs. ]. Borden Hartman
in which they attempt to show thai
Mrs. Arthur l.. Livermore was quite
unjustified In crlticslng the twenty-third
article of the League OF Nations cove
nant as she did in her address in Somer-
vile. N. j.. on September 29. and in
representing 1t as liable to foster the
international traffic in women and girls.
These statements do not at all decide
the duty of American voters in the
matter.
Article XXIII., paragraph 3. reads as
follows: Members of the League will
intrust the League with general super
vision over the execution of agreements
with regard to the traffic in women and
children and the traffic In opium ana
other dangerous drugs" This phrase
ology is evidently exceedingly vague and
ambiguous and may readily be used or
twisted to permit the managers OF the
League either to take measures toward
diminishing these two nefarious trades,
or, If for political or economic reasons
they wish to do so, to continue them or
wink at or even foster and encourage
them.
Suppose that the Governments of Tur-
key. Persia and Morocco. where women
are still held as slaves and imported
from foreign countries. were members
of the League, and that they and ava
ricious English merchants who wished
the opium trade to be legalized and en-
eouraged should apply to the League for
recognition of what they deem their
rights. what then? Is there single
word in this Article XIII. to prevent
such an Interpretation as would permit
the granting of these requests?
Just now the European League Is on
its good behavior, trying to win our
consent to submit our international ac-
tivities to it's supergovernment. But
suppose. as is quite possible. that in q
few years the economical or politica
advantages of legalizing and even fos-
tering these nefarious trades appealed tc
the directors OF the League of Nations
Do our voters wish to hand over to a
European council and supergovernmeni
the right to commit our Government tc
such subordinate position as would tie
our hands against any effort to suppress
these two trades? This is the vital ques'
ton for American voters
Possibly Mrs. Livermore may have
used too strong word when she accused
Article XIII. of legalizing or enforcing
the international trade in women But
1t is clear that the article as phrased is
so dangerous in its vagueness and am
biguity that 1t should be replaced ny =
newly worded article cmphatically con
demning and prohibiting such immora
Kinds of business among modern ma
tons.
President Wilson demanded that thu
League be adopted by the Senate with
out revision or reservations. but the dan
gerous wording of this single clause en-
tirely justifles the refusal Of the Senate
to agree to the covenant as 1t stands.

What England Sees In Russia.

London financial writer's may or
may not be barking up the wrong
. tree when. as recent cable advices indi-
cate, they associate American inter-
ests with huge schemes for selling
Russian trade. But they certainly
have caught the right idea in garnish-
ing their stories with the sauce OF
Imagination, for only in the imagina
tion is 1t possible to conjure up the
billions upon billions of profits that
nestle In the mountains, on he
steppes and In the fields Of Russia.
1t shows the English financial sense.
Of the fitness of things when Thread
needle Street attributes great Rus
sian trade offensive to n combination
of no less powerful interests than the
United States Steel Corporation, IT,
ternational Harvester. Baldwin Loco
motive and the Fall River textile com
panies. Here is combination which
satisfies the heart of the most ambi-
tious British financier. He could con-
ceive of nothing bigger or representing
more billions concentrated In one pot
than the resources of these concerns
Knowing as it does the opportunities
that lie In Russian exploitation. Lon
don finance has visuallzed the gigantic
spectacle of an immense Russian in
dustrial and agricultural machine
grinding out profits by the billion, and
all for this American group. In thus
allowing free rein to the magma
tion British finance has given credit
to the supposed American group in
stispecting them of exercising the same
astute business judgment which Lon
don itself would exercise were It in
the choice position of being able at
this moment to weld such combina-
tion and use its money and influence
In Russian development.
The delicate compliment paid to
American finance is no less signif-
icant even II II Is accompanied by the
less flatterlng intimation that Great
Britain does not relish the idea Of
this American aggression. But, though
there may be no combination like the
one referred to in the cable des-
patches and American financlers may
care nothing about delicate compl-
ments, these breath taking tales from
London illustrate how seriously Rus
sia Is taken by the money powers in
England. and how jealous they are OF
their own advantages in that rich
land Of promise.
English finance Is under no Illusions
az TO the latent capacity Of Russia to
produce English milllonalres and to
nav Off tSs English war debt If the
stubborn Sovieis only will give Eng
lish capital the chance to transmute
that latent capacity into a real, live
actuality.
Russia is not able to develop her
self. Money and materials are plentl.
ful. but financial genius Is missing.
Before the war English, French,
Dutch and German capital all had
their fingers in the Russian pie. But
they had only begun to nlbble. The
total value of Russian industrial es-
Establishments in 1914 was about $i5,-
100000, 900, with annual production
worth about S4,OO0,Ooo,000. out Of
the total population Of 175,ooo,OO0

New York City's Tax Burdens at
the Limit.

This Is great city, rich city and
a public spirited city. Mile for mile
of area and soul for soul of pOpula-
ton, 1t has q matchless wealth, a
surprising earning power and an In
comparable capacity to bear the bur-
den of taxes.
New York city always has taken the
biggest share of all public loads, ma
tlonal, State or municipal, and never
has flinched. It's courage and cheer
fitness under them are proverbial.
But there is limit to everything and
New York city's tax burdens have
reached the limit
More than half billion Of dollars
a year to pay the bills of our local
government is too preposterous
proposition for any municipal admin
istration to consider and expect to
survive.
Half a billion of dollars was SEN
sational annual expenditure for our
whole United States Government,
army and navy and everything else.
only little while before the war.
Half a billion of dollars a year is
more than the total productive income
of many important nations of the Old
World on a peace basis.
And New York city, on top of all
the direct and indirect imposts 1t car
ries, all the war taxes 1t yields up
to the Federal Treasur-, all the State
taxes 1t contributes, is asked to give
over for municipal spending a load
Of more than half billion of dol
lars which even the most careful
statisticians of the local government
fear cannot. be cut to anything like
100000.
But New York city must tear out
excessive estimates by the root and
sink deep knife into its spendings.
1t must not do this by denying liv-
Ing income to servants who give eff
cient and valuable service, like the
police and firemen and other faithful,
hard working men in the departments.
1t must do it by cutting off those who
don't work and don't earn their pay.
They must go, under whatever politi-
cal wing they have been sheltered and
to whatever political patron they are
essential. 1t must do 1t by getting all
city work done on the basis on which
private business has to be done to
live 1t must do It by getting NIL city
construction, all city purchasing, all
city estimating, all city spending done
on the basis on which private business
has to he done to live.
This city, big as It is, rich as 1t is,
public spirited MS 1t Is, cannot go on
eating up taxes in the quantities 1t
has been asked to eat them up with
out putting It's population to dire
financial straits; for the masses Of the
population have to pay the taxes in
the prices of the necessaries Of life.
