ton" The same belief. is potent in
British and French circles. So far as
am able to judge, the propaganda in
Czecho-Slovakia is meeting with mich
greater success than had been believed
possible, and it is the belief Of the
Social Democrats, upon whose good will
and support the government must rely,
that only the adoption by the great
powers of policy Of friendship for
Russia, that will make it quite plain
that they are not seeking to destroy the
fruits Of the revolution, on the one
hand, or, on the other hand, to dismem-
Der and weaken Russia, will check the
progress Of militant Communism.
No greater disaster could overtake
the world than to have Poland encour-
aged to wage war against Russia in the
belief that by military force Bolshev
ism can be destroyed. One Of the first
fruits of such policy would be Boil
shevist uprising in Poland itself and the
consolidation of the two countries under
one regime. And there is only one other
way open, so far as anybody has been
able to discover-the way of frank and
courageous democratic craftsmanship de-
voted to constructive effort. So far as
it has been announced by Secretary
Colby up to the present, the policy of
the United States is along the right
lines; it is perhaps not yet completely
formulated, but so far as it goes it is
fundamentally sound and wise, more
hopeful and encouraging than anything
that has been announced by the states
men of any other country.

CURSED the puddle when found
Unseeing had walked therein.
Forgetting the uneven ground,
Because my eyes
Were on the skies,
To CLEAN their glory and to win
The sunsets trembling ecstasies.
And then marked the puddle's face,
When still and quiet grown again,
Was but concerned, as /, to trace
The wonder spread
Above it's head,
And mark and mirror and contain
The gold and purple, rose and red.
We seek our goals; we climb our ways
With hearts inspired by radiant thought,
And hate the luckless wight who stays
The upward stream

Nor guess that VIC have roughly wrought
A like hiatus in his dream.

Misplaced Criticism
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l read with no little interest
the attack by some Labor" on the
Rockefeller Foundation and its propo-
sition to repeal the foundations char
ter, yet the charter and the foundation
do not seem to do or propose to do
anything very awful, even to children
of the workers. The alleged quotation
from ex-Presider. Gates Of the foun-
dation sounds a little top-lofty-but
maybe he is misquoted.
Why should Labor" take offense,
as it seems to do, at the proposition
by the foundation to show people how
to do we'll what they now do i'll or by
Anticipated methods? Can there be
anything wrong in showing farmers
how to get a bigger crop by the same
labor or less than they have expended
in getting smaller crops? And the
same idea throughout all industry
What is wrong in combating hook
worm? What better use could the
Rockefellers put their money to? I
nope IL VIII not all DC spent III NHlHd
and other distant parts.
1t is obvious that the work Of coun-
try must and should be done by the
people of that countrywide else is there
to do it? And if boy has genius in some
line are we to suppose "the Rookie
fellers" could if they would (and of
this I see no evidence) condemn him
to be mute, inglorious Milton, or its
equivalent in any way?
But it is good idea OF Labor" to
make graduation from elementary
school less of a fnality. Some $4,000
pupils graduate twice year with all
the pomp that can be put into the proc
ess, yet DR.. Hanus, Of Harvard, in an
official report on New York schools a
few years ago, says, "Graduation from
8B grade is no proof that the pupil
knows any subject in the curriculum
accurately" This is quite true, as
others beside DR.. Hanus know.

A Rent Master Of Appeals

citizens that, through your paper,

of the courts.
My own case will illustrate my point

two-family house is not fair in his de-

My allegation covers one point: My

Passing It Along

The fruit districts send the sea-
sonal word that apple growers re-
fuse to pick their crop because prices
are too small to pay for picking and
handling. Yet when placed on sale
in city or town the retail prices are
not appreciably lower than in other
seasons. Obviously no improvement
in the machinery of distribution
has come. From producer to con-
sumer there is the same old geo.
metrical progression Of price,.
From a farmer in Vermont comes
another sidelight on the economic
situation. When the war came he
enlarged his flock Of sheep. He
knew that wool would be needed, all
the wool which could be produced.
Results proved his judgment cor
rect. For his clip in war time he
received the market price, about 75
cents a pound, he says. But this
season all that he is able to get is
IS cents, Notwithstanding the high
prices of wooden goods. The farmer
believes that the man who purchased
his clip this season sold it to Sec
ond dealer, who in turn sold it to a
third, and that probably four or five
spectators took as many profits be-
fore the actual clip found it's way to
mill. Such is one explanation
of reasons why the consumer pays
heavily for wooden clothing.
Another instance is reported in
the paper trade. A Philadelphia
merchant placed an order for paper
with a New York. firm, which had
the stock made in Wisconsin. Under
the customers instruction It was
shipped to a printing house in In
diana. The Wisconsin mill made an
overrun on the order, but shipped
surplus and all to Indiana. The
Indiana printer did not want the
extra paper, and shipped to the New
York paper dealer.
When the surplus arrived here the
paper dealer sold it to New York
printer, who he thought would use
it. Instead of doing SO the printer
sold it to a broker, who sold it to 9
second printer. This man in turr
sold it to another broker, who sold Il
TO a paper house, which tried to sell
it TO the Arm which originally or
dered tho paper made. At the time
of manufacture the price charged
was IL cents per pound. BY the
time the surplus or overrun on thu
order had been sold by two printers
| two brokers and rival paper dealer
the price had "risen" TO 22 cents
J . pound.

Enough One Man Rule!

If elected President Mr.. Cox will
model his administration exactly on
that of Mr.. Wilson. He says he will,
and there is no reason to doubt his
word.
Mr.. Wilson'S administration has
been one-man administration.
He has accepted no advice. He
has tolerated no suggestions.
Even in the perilous days Of the
war, when h, might have had the CO.
operation of the ablest men in the
country, he surrounded himself with
men who had no opinions of their
own, or, if they had, dared not ex-
press them.
The result of this policy has been
disastrous. 1t was bound to be.
The affairs of one hundred million
people cannot be directed success
fully by one man, even though that
man is the wisest man ever born into
the world.
The best brains Of the country are
required to conduct it's government.
Considered solely as a gigantic bust
: ness, it is far too great to be oper-
ated by a single-track mind.
Considered as nation whose
future policy will have a profound
influence on the whole w3ld, only
the combined intelligence of it's
wisest men can safely be trusted to
formulate the policy.
For President of the United States
the country needs a man who will
cooperate with the Congress, not
stubbornly antagonize it.
Yet Mr.. Cox declares that he will
Immediately take up the fight with
Congress where Mr.. Wilson leaves
it off.
Mr.. Cox, following his declared
policy, will continue the disorganiza-
ton that Mr.. Wilson has main
tanned.
Mr.. Harding, on the other hand,
in sympathy with Congress and re-
specting its rights under the Con-
stitution, can be trusted to cooperate
with it, acting as the executor of the
laws, not as the lawgiver.
He believes that the able men in
government should have a voice in
its direction.
He believes that the people should
ule not that the people should be
ruled.
And he knows that the only way
they can rule is through the men
they elect to represent them-not
one, but all of them.
Such policy will bring this coun-
Try to an end Of its distress and
eventually restore to the world the
peace that two years Of theorizing
and experiment have denied it.
Mr.. Cox refuses, if elected, to
adopt such a policy. He is COM
, mttted to Mr.. Wilson's plan of one
man government. And a suffering
people have had all the one-man gov
eminent they can endure.

Those who wanted deAation in a
hurry do not seem as happy as they
were. 1t is not easy to keep up your
own income while forcing the in
come Of others down. Dehation
doesn't work that way.
Defiation is in itself not neces-
sarily desirable thing. It depends
on the sort of deflation that occurs.
Def7ation with a deliberate design
to lower prices is dangerous kind.
ALI but small part Of the cost of
nearly every article goes for labor.
Thus, the price of wheat represents
chiefly wages paid in many branches
of human endeavor, not only to farm
hands, but to workers in steel, lum~
Der and cotton mills, leather fac
tories, clothing shops, shipbuilding,
railroading and so on indefinitely.
So the price Of wheat cannot go
down permanently unless the cost
of all these things-representing
mainly wages paid-goes down, too.
Only by debating labor costs per ar
ticle can commodities be made lower
in price, save, perhaps, in q few
cases where markets have been over
doomed.
There are two ways by which
labor costs can be defated-through
increase Of production per man or
through unemployment. The leaders
of labor unfortunately seem to favor
the second option. These leaders
have shown no interest in getting
out more goods an hour per man.
They ask for price reductions by
other means. But workers out of jobs
will hardly contemplate a reduction
in prices with satisfaction when they
haven't money to spend.
Mr.. Gompers sees in the unem-
ployment situation a plot of capital
to coerce labor-to make it vote the
right way. Instead of denouncing
capital he should be denouncing
labor for failure to produce and his
friends of the Wilson administra-
ton for economic ignorance.
There need never have been defla-
ton or unemployment. The price
level could have been stabilized and
the necessity for readjustment
eliminated if there had been suffi-
Gent production.
Lack of production made the sit
uation created by the Administra-
TONS policy Of initiation acute. Then,
alarmed by the results of ignoring
or tampering with economic law, the
Administration hadn't the sense to
let the situation correct itself. 1t is
proceeding to force dehation, with
all the attendant disruption Of bust
ness and unemployment of labor.

A Unique Incident
TO the Editor of The Tribune.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: To-day's news story about an
aged couple hit by horse reveals, l
believe, the first instance 1 have ever
known Of one paper according recog-
milton to the reporter Of another paper
for anything creditable. BY your state
ment, Robert Dawson, a reporter for
The New York Times. stopped the
horse"
1t sends my recollection back a quar-
ter Of a century. A murder had &C.
Cured in an institution in Lexington
Avenue. An eight-foot wall surrounded
the yard, and the professor in charge
declared that no one could have en-
tered. The police tried to incriminate
inmates. Another reporter and l
scaled the wall. climbed a fire escape
and gained the door Of the very room
where the crime had been committed
before being discovered by the profess
sor himself. He denied that we could
have entered as we had. To disprove
his statement We returned over tho wall
as we had entered.
OF course We met the other reporters
at the police station and told the story
They all used it. But each paper, ex-
cepting our own, credited the feat to
"a reporter" giving to the reader the
impression that the glory belonged to
les own staff.
Perhaps the millennium Is on the way
after all. GEORGE TAGGART.

clare that Lithuania and Czecho-Slo-
vakia could only exist as separate
states if they became Soviet repub-
lies in harmony with the purposes of
the Third International. Even the
presidents Of the Soviet republics of
Lithuania and Czecho- Slovakia were
named. How near the Bolsheviki came
to making Poland the "Red bridge" we
in America have not yet fully realized.
Such being the problem, in its broad
outlines, what ought to be done to
prevent the contamination Of the Boil
shevist ideal? That, I take it, is the
question Of immediate, fundamental
Importance. In reply to that question
l venture to suggest that these things
are imperative: CD Prevent, if posi-
BILE, and by whatever means possible,
the spread Of Bolshevism in Poland
itself; ca weaken the Lenine -Trotzky
regime, if possible, by detaching from
it as many elements of the Russian
population as can be so detached, and
by strengthening, in every way we can
find, the anti-B olshevist forces in Rus
STA; CD discourage in every possible
way the development of Bolshevist
sentiment elsewhere, especially in
Lithuanie and Czecho-Slovakia.
Polish Opinion Divided
Concerning the first Of these three
items in the program Of civilizations
defense against Bolshevism may sug-
gcst that the policy of the United
States, as expressed by the Secretary
of State, cuts at the very heart of the
evil? If I have not @een misinformed
(and my information has been derived
from sources which have found un-
usually reliable heretofore) the SOL
idarity Of the Polish Socialists with
the rest Of the nation, which, by the
way, has drawn upon them the savage
condemnation Of our American Social
list party, is a condition which applies
exclusively to the movement to defend
Polish independence within the ethno-
graphic boundaries agreed upon.
Daszynski, whom I know we'll, has made
it very plain that the Socialist party
of Poland will not support aggressive
military action beyond those bound
aries, in what they regard as Russian
territory. So this brilliant Polish So
cialist declared 20 the British indie
pendent Labor party and to the British
Labor party. In that sense also the
Polish Socialist party has declared
itself. For Poland to permit her de-
Tense to develop into an invasion of
Russia means, therefore, in reality
nothing less than an invitation to the
Socialists, the most powerful party in
Poland, to break away from the ma.
tional cause. Could LeniEe and his CO.
horts desire anything better than that
Would that not be tantamount to actu-
ally establishing the "Red bridge?
In this connection permit me to call
your attention to the fact that las,
spring when the Polish forces invad ed
Russian territory, expecting to find the
Soviet republics forces scattered and
demoralized, the Polish Socialist move
ment was badly split upon the issue
and the opponents Of the war policy i'm.
