THE SCOTCH WAR"
Objection to Name for the American
War of Independence.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Your edt-
torial article on the first salute to the
American flag says: "A German dynasty
and a corrupt Parliament with Cabinet
advisers from the Land o. Cakes tried
to coerce the American colonies" But
"the heart of the British people was
never in what the critics in and out of
Parliament dubbed the Scotch War"
l have studied the history of the Amer
lean Revolution from original documents
and contemporaneous records. Wears
ago THE NEW YORK PRESS published fac
SMILES of some letters discovered by me,
which, it acknowledge, would necessi-
tate revision of historical details.
For years l was on the lookout for
authentic lights and sidelights on the
history of the Revolution and events
which led to it. ] was fortunate 1 col
lected a mass of excellent material
hundreds of thousands of words.
1 have therefore a right to speak on
the subject. If "critics in and out OF
Parliament" dubbed the War of the Rev.
olution THE Scotch War" I have never
heard of them before and naturally
would like to know their names.
l am aware that the first celebration
of George Washingtons birthday Of
which there is any record was held in
Scotland, and that Burns wrote the
Birthday Ode" have a file of an
Edinburgh newspaper which favored the
cause of the colonists. and gave great
deal of space to cores ondence from
America. DAVID G.. BAILLIE.

Lord Robert Cecii's Effort to Re-
suscitate Point One.

"Old school diplomats writes the
Geneva correspondent of the New
York Times rather sadly, took hold
of the Assembly of the League of Ma
tons and its meeting to-day and con-
structed curtain of silence about its
deliberations" These old school men
rushed through a block of rules i'm
Guiding one-called Rule (which
reads that unless the commission de-
eide otherwise, the meetings will be
private and no minutes will be kept"
Lord ROBERT CECIL, representing
South Africa--he lives in England
protested against secret meetings, eX-
cept in cases where there were good
reasons for privacy. He quoted 81
gnor TIrroNI as saying that the only
way for the League to endure was by
way Of publicity.
But Lord ROBERT was no more eff
caclous than Point One of the famous
Fourteen. That memorable Principle
Ndlitd ulOll an Tie NOIiu LOT open
covenants of peace openly arrived at"
President WILSON took il to Paris
with its thirteen sister Principles. Its
fate thereafter is briefly described In
III. G. WEISS Outline of History:
Into the secrecy of that council
went President WILSON, leaving Point
One at the door"
CECIL tried to revive the abandoned
Point, but the long exposure had been
too killing. But 1t is interesting,
after what has happened at Geneva,
to recall Point One and one of its
solemn phrases: Diplomacy shall
always proceed frankly and in the
public view"
Point One is dead, Rule Fifteen
reigns.

SUGGESTS NEW STATE
OF CITY AND ENVIRONS
Engineer Offers Solution for
Transit Problem.

The formation OF forty-ninth State
OF the Union by the consolidation of
New York city and the cities of the New
Jersey shore of the Hudson River MS a
solution TO the city's transit problem
was offered last night by Henry NJ.
Brinckerhoff. business associate OF Col
william Barclay Parsons builder OF the
marlborough subway system. Mr..
Brinckerhoff's remedy was offered be-
fore the American Society of Engineers
forum on the transit question.
Mr. Brinckerhoff declared that transit
lines already having been constructed or
projected radally eastward. New Jersey
offers the only now field OF relief for
New York's congestion. The creation or
n new state In the metropolitan area,
including the Jersey shore, was neces-
sary, ne said. to bring about the proper
unity of purpose and cooperation.
To many other speakers the Idea APP
peared attractive. ID. l.. Turner chief
engineer of the Transit Construction
Commission, however, declared that the
better idea was to go ahead with the
execution OF his twenty-five subways
programme. recently made public by
John III. Delaney. Transit Construction
Commissioner.

borough Rapid Transit Company, APP

ARE OUR EMBASSIES DRY?
Prohibition in the Case of American
Diplomats Abroad.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The point
was made recently that foreign Ambas-
sailors accredited TO this country could
here on account of their extraterrito-
rial privileges. Are our Ambassadors
representing this country in foreign cap
itals observing the spirit of prohibition
by excluding wines and liquors from our
embassies? If not, why should they be
exempt from the operation of the law
of their home country? The doctrine of
extraterritorial rights should bind them
to as strict an observance Of the home
country's law as though they were on
home soil If the law is good for the
rest OF the 105. 00o.0 900 inhabitants of the
United States, who will assert that 1t
is not good for our Ambassadors and
Ministers?
Again, when our Government gives
state dinners are wines and liquors ex-
cluded from the menus?
1t seems to me that the corruption
which has followed the enactment of the
Eighteenth Amendment is n far more
serious evil than the few isolated cases
of drunkenness that obtained before. and
l think that the public must realize by
this time that prohibition has been the
most effective agent for substituting
crime that has ever been incorporated
in our statutes.
Every person of candor must admit
that liquor can be obtained without diff
ficulty by those who want it. The an
swer is plain We are paying millions
of dollars to enforce the Volstead law
in the form of salaries. and our paid
agents are being corrupted through the
connivance of those who have no respect
for the law because the law infringes
personal liberty.
Besides the loss of 5000, 600. 900 in rev.
enue formerly derived from the licensed
traffic, we are paying additional millions
to enforcement agents, many of whom
play both ends against the middle.
Is it not time that the public took
some interest in the repeal of the Eight
eenth Amendment, obtained legitimate
revenue from the manufacture and sale
of liquor ended the corruption that is
apparent to every observer and retrieved
the right to live as ones conscience die
tates? RALPH LEYDEN BELLINGER

GAME LAWS DISREGARDED.
Farmers Need Better Protection
Against Poachers ON Their Land.

To THE New YORK HERALD: May I use
your columns to address those of your
readers who are interested in the conser-
walton of fish and game in New York
State? This category must include not
only all good sportsmen but all citizens
who believe in the protection and i'm
provement of what once was and can be
again one of our finest natural resources.
All hunters of upland game birds. for
instance, know the situation and It's
cause Every farmer who has game on
his lands is likewise confronted with the
results of our present game laws each
year when his signs are torn down and
his lands infested with irresponsible
poachers.
The present game conservation law is
inadequate by the very good test that it
does not conserve. The game is fast dis
appearing and cannot be saved unless
some workable measure is adopted by
our State Legislature. Such law should
aim not only to protect the game from
wanton and illegal slaughter but espe-
cially to encourage the farmers and land
owners to foster the breeding of their
own game.
Every true sportsman is interested in
bringing about better conditions. and all
citizens of the State who believe in fair
play to the game birds, the farmers and
the sportsman alike should support any
effort to this end. The only possible OPP
position to better laws must come from
the poaching element; and these gentle
men might even realize that at the rate
our game is vanishing 1t behooves them
too to take some thought for the very
existence of the game they steal.
Conservation in this state is handled
by a commission appointed by the Gov
ernor; therefore the Governor-elect is the
key to the situation. Every communica-
ton addressed to Judge Miller soliciting
his interest in better game laws is step
in the right direction.

friends are those whom he sees as they
visit other patients in his ward. Make
your own Thanksgiving brighter for the
sunshine you will bring into the life of
your wounded guest.

ored newspaper articles" is term
familiar to everybody who has studied
even casually the literature of denial,
evasion and belittlement which has
come from the lips and pens of in
competents In public Office. as well as
from the lips and pens Of scoundrels
brought to justice at the bar of pub
lie opinion.
No apple was ever hurt by having
rotten spot cut out of it. No gov
eminent ever lost the confidence of the
people because dishonest and corrupt
and lazy and stupid men employed by
it were shown up.
Government in the dark, govern
ment whose failures and shortcomings
are not exposed, would inevitably be-
come honeycombed with fraud and
rottenness, and would Justly forfeit
the confidence of the people. Govern
ment in the open is never in danger
of this.

While the bricklayer's pay, there
fore, measured merely by the wage
scale, has gone up from 50 cents to
S1.25 an hour, the cost to the con-
suming public of getting bricks Laid
on the eight hour day basis has gone
up from $40 for LOO bricks TO so
for 541 bricks. 1t has gone up, In
other words, from 81 thousand to
$3.50 a thousand. While wages.
. therefore, apparently have gone up
only one and quarter times the ac-
tual wage cost of laying bricks has
gone up more than four and half
times.
The same thing IS true In greater
or less degree of the other crafts in
the building trades. 1t Is true of
manufactures. Il is true Of coal min
ing 1t is true Of ordinary day labor
1t is true of pretty nearly everything
where labor enters largely into the
producing and distributing costs.
FRANK MoERrsoN, Secretary Of the
American Federation Of Labor, says
In reference to the conference with
Hoover that organized labor will in
sist that the present-standards OF liv-
ing. and working conditions be not

with due allowance made for the de-
creased purchasing power OF the

The Poorly Paid Preacher Who
Works at Trade.

The Rev. BENJAMIN A. SHERwrN
had wife and five children whom he
undertook to support on a Salary of
$93 Il month. Domestic concord did
not endure, and Mr.. SHERwIN brought
an action for divorce against Mrs.
SHERwIN. Judge PHILLIPS of the
Court Of Common Pleas in Cleveland.
Ohio, refused to grant the divorce,
gave the five children into Mrs. SHER-
WINS custody, ordered the Rev. Mr..
SHERwIN to pay her $50 a month,
and said:
Il consider 1t extreme cruelty for
man with a wife and five children
to remain at his job. even though it
be that of a minister, which pays
only 500 a month.
AN ablebodied man such as you
are should have taken up some other
profession"
The news report from which these
details of an unusual case are taken
concludes with the sentence "SHER-
WIN has Job as a machinist." APP
parently he has taken Judge PHIL
LIPs's rebuke to heart. If he has
done this he has shown good sense.
There is no reason why minister
unable to obtain n church sufficiently
well to do or liberal to pay him a
living wage should not work at
trade or profession. His message
to humanity will not be impaired rs
to quality because he rubs shoulders
with humanity in its daily toll in the
field. the shop or the Office.
On the contrary, informal associa-
ton with men and women ut their
customary tasks should be of the
greatest benefit to a preacher. 1t
should broaden his mental horizon,
correct his conception Of many grave
social problems, strengthen him In
charity and tolerance. Nor does
honest labor detract in any way from
the ministerial dignity; indeed, it
should add TO the respect in which the
preacher Is held. Many Of the great
est and best teachers of religion have
labored at trades.
Judge PHILLPs's definition of ex-
IRENE cruelty may not be Endorsed by
everybody, and his criticism of the
selection Of the ministerial profession
by an ablebodied man certainly will
be resented. We want ablebodied
ministers in all the churches; the
churches would not long amount to
much without ablebodied ministers.
Indeed, where n congregation does not
pay it's minister enough to live on
only an ablebodied man could do the
outside work necessary to make botn
ends meet and to avoid Judge PHIL
Lrps's censure rs one guilty of sex
treme cruelty"
