The Technique of Victory

After a heavy October frost the
fans Of Brooklyn thawed out suffi-
GENTLY to give a highly deserving
team the home cheering that it
amply earned. Crookcdness re-
mains to be finally driven out of
baseball and fittingly punished, but.
pending trial, there is no reason WHY
the fine start of the Robins-a tri
umph for the ablest kind of honest
and intelligent leadership-should
not be applauded on its merits.
Not only a baseball head, but any
business man, any army officer, any
teacher, anybody charged with the
responsibility of running a group or
gang OF human beings, has much to
learn from Wilbert Robinson and his
team of cast-offs. General Foch has
stated that morale is the decisive
factor in warfare-and that covers
the whole point, provided ALWAYS
that you understand, firstly, what
morale is, and, secondly, how to OBJ
tain it.
There is a too prevalent notion
that a sheer will to win is all that is
necessary to success-that never
giving up is all there is to the tech
nlQue of victory This point of view
Is right in so far as it stresses The
moral factor above sheer skill: but
1t omits the very essential factor
OF confidence, without which will
t" win is a blind and laundering
thing. 1t is exactly this element of
self-contidence that the born execu-
tive builds up in his subordinates
his team, his employees, his soldiers
his pupils.
how manufacture confidence7
NO formula exists for this cons,,n-
mate feat of creation despite all the
words that the efficiency experts
have strung together. Leadership is
an essential quality-in its broadest
sense the all-sufficient gift. But it
means something more than field
captaincy, gang leadership in ac-

ton; it includes wisdom and steadi-
ness and sureness to earn confidence
and genuine knowledge Of and
trust in human nature to give con-
fidencc. Not the man who enjoys
doing the whole stunt himself makes
the good executive, but the man
whose first interest is in perfecting
the fallible human machines about
him.
For the human machine, any hu-
man machine, is capable of amazing
achievements. That is it's charm, it's
greatest quality. There are practi-
cally no limits to what human be-
ing can do--when properly led
Uncle Wilbert's cast-offs play like
champions-under his omniscient
eye. They are champions and yet,
on paper, there is not a great ball
player on the team. Right there is
sketched the most interesting task
in the world--if you are born with
the gift of leadership and a zest for
solving the human equation.

No Scuttling

To a heckler at Des Moines who
asked, "How about the boys over in
Germany?" Senator Harding re-
plied
"They haven't any business there,
and just as soon as we declare formal
peace we can be sure they will be
coming home, as they ought to come"
The reply was to an interruption.
Senator Harding, according to the
report, did not at first catch the
meaning of the question and asked
for its repetition. His response was
thus hasty and little considered.
Had the Senator taken more time he
scarcely would have answered as he
did.
But if the statement is to be con-
strued as marking an intention to
abandon our allies and not to par
ticipate in compelling Germany, if
needs be, to respect the substantial
parts of the Versailles treaty, such
as disarmament and reparative pay
ments, The Tribune, for one, wishes
to enter most emphatic dissent.
Here is something which has moth
ing to do with the League of Ma
tions controversy. 1t relates wholly
to whether this country should help
see to it that Germany does not
welch on her agreements. 1t is our
business whether Germany is al
lowed to repudiate, for example,
her obligation to Belgium 1t is our
business that France shall not be
left alone to carry out the task of
preventing wriggling Germany from
once more arming herself for new
war of aggression. Not to recognize
this as our business is to make the
war colossal joke.
The offhand words of Senator
Harding, taken at their letter, per-
NIT differences inconsistent with his
prior and more matured declara-
tions. Even in his prepared speech
at Des Moines he reiterated that he
wished this country to meet her
righteous obligations. Surely no
obligations can be more righteous
than contributing to preventing Ger
many from again becoming a men-
ace to ourselves and the world. Sen
ator Harding may we'll seize an
early opportunity to correct wrong
impressions he has left.

(F'rom his speech accepting the Re

(f'rom his speech accepting the Re-
publican nomination for Vice
President, July 27, 192O)
No one in public life can be obivious
to the organized efforts to undermine
the faith of our people in their govern
ment, foment discord, aggravate indus
trial strife, stifle production and ulti-
mately stir up revolution. These efforts
are great public menace. not through
danger of success, but through the great
amount of harm they can do if ignored.
The first duty Of the government is to
ropress them, furnishing willful viola
tions Of law, turning the full light of
publicity on all abuses Of the right of
assembly and Of free speech, and it is
the first duty Of the public and press to
expose false doctrines and answer sedi-
tious arguments. American institutions
can stand discussion and criticism only
if those who know bear for them the
testimony Of the truth. Such repression
and such testimony should be forthcom-
ing, that the uniformed may come to
a full realization that these sedtious
efforts are not for their welfare, but for
their complete economic and political
destruction.
New-York tribune., 1920-10-09
Housing Relief in Danger

Danger exists that the end sought
by the tax exemption law, the only
constructive part of the housing
will be defeated by indi-
rection.
The Legislature authorized the
Board of Aldermen and the Board of
Estimate. acting together, to sus-
pend for ten years the local taxation
of housing improvements. The two
boards may act or not under this
authorization, as they see fit. But
the delegation being of the Legis-
lature's natural powers, the grant is
to be construed strictly. To attempt
to impose conditions other than those
prescribed is to run the risk of liti-
cation that may tie up the act.
The Collins resolution, now before
the Board Of Aldermen, provides
that exemptions shall be accorded
only when the Board of Estimate
Gives unGnimous consent to an appli-
cation. Nothing in the statute to
this effect is discoverable. 1t merely
says that the Board of Estimate
shall approve. Ordinarily the board
acts by majority vote TO require
unanimity may open the door to
those eager to enjoin the law.
The imported condition is as OBJ
Jectlcnable on practical as on legal
grounds. One landlord member of
the Board of Estimate can veto con-
struction. Alderman Collins is to be
assumed to be acting in good faith,
but he can scarcely be blind to the
fact that his resolution unneces-
sarly jeopardizes the hope of get
ting new houses, manifestly the only
way to relieve the increasing con-
gestion.
The course of Mayor Hylan does
not lessen apprehension. Chagrined
New-York tribune., 1920-10-09
MIR. Parsons's Departure

Regret will be general among the
Republicans Of New York that a
party member of the standing of
Herbert Parsons is SO confused by
the league discussion as to become
supporter of Governor Cox.
Mr.. Parsons is, of course, aware
that it was not Senator Harding,
who voted twice for entry into the
league who "scrapped" the covenant.
That office was performed by the
White House letter of January 8,
which said the White House had no
compromise in mind and instructed
it's Senators to vote against any
ratification that was not flat. Sena-
tor Harding, now holding an in
quest, reports as a fact that the
Wilson league is dead. But when
did coroner become responsible for
a killing he certified to?
Mingled with the regret over the
departure Of Mr.. Parsons will be
surprise chat his determination to
leave did not mature earlier, and
that he has hitherto given no sign
that such a determination on his
part was forming. He was dele
gate to the Chicago convention-an
influential member Of the pivotal
New York delegation. This delega-
ton, it will be recalled, quite as
much as any other, was influential
in bringing about the Harding nomi-
nation. 1t was not then reported
that Mr.. Parsons was dissatisfied
with a result which he notably
helped to achieve or that he has
made any effort since to modify the
views Of Senator Harding with which
he disagreed. He had full opportu-
nifty in June to work for another
choice, but it did not appeal to him.
1t is not easy to understand the
present zeal for bolting.
