Doctors for Miller

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Much space has been given, in
discussing the gubernatorial election in
this state, to the large vote given by
Republicans to Governor Smith. No
mention, however, has been made Of
the support given to Judge Miller b.
Democratic voters who normally would
have voted for Governor Smith. For
the first time in the history of New
ork. politics the medical profession
took an active interest in a state cleo
ton, to the extent of advising q course
Of activity by doctors, not as a politi-
cal matter, but as a matter of profess
sional concern to every physician in
New York state, as well as to many Of
their patients
This step was due to the Governors
determination to put over the scheme
for compulsory health insurance in
connection with the political labor
leaders, a 3 we'll as his advocacy Of
health centers, which was recognized
az an entering wedge for the socializa-
ton Of medicine in this state. Another
cause was dissatisfaction with the Gov
ernor's appointments to the Narcotic
Drug Commission OF lay and legal
otficials, who, by their ruling, put into
effect IN this city n system Of registra-
ton OF drug addicts, which the Legis-
lature had consistently refused to in
corporate into its drug laws.
BY this ruling every one to whom
morphine had to be administered for
thirty days was adjudeed to be drug
addict" and as such had to be regis
tered with the second deputy narcotic
drug commissioner in this city. This
ruling affected every family which
might contain & member suffering from
mortal or an incurable disease. II
was properly resented by them as we'll
as by the $4,000 physicians of this

Iarly injured those whose income is
in wages.
Lloyd George dcplores the fact
that the public has been prone to
ignore those actually working to re-
store the devastated regions and to
listen to those whose concern is to
repair devastated regulations. He
might have added that there is too
marked a determination on the part
of those shown by events to have
been wrong to try to prove they were
right. There has been too much
self-justifcation and too little peni-
tence.
AS to Russia, Lloyd George has no
apprehension Of the long continu-
ance Of the Soviet regime-it is too
absurd and too directly leads to self
extinction-but he does fear a state
Of chronic anarchy, a condition SIM
liar to that which obtains in Mexico,
and which would mean that Russia
"will be a fostering thing that will
poison the atmosphere of the world"
AS to the Irish problem, the atti-
tude of the British Prime Minister is
similar. He offers, not subjection,
but equality - not servitude, but
partnership. But in the mean time
organized murder must cease-men
must be free to offer and to discuss
conciliation, and the real Ireland,
which has no sympathy with terror
ism, must be allowed a chance to
sneak.

The Unknown Soldier

America is without a ceremony
beftting Armistice Day. This is
perhaps natural; we are not ma
ton that turns readily to formalities.
Yet it will be hoped that another
year may witness a growing sense Of
the solemnity of this day when guns
ceased firing after four long years,
and that the right services Will grad
ually be developed to be shared
by all.
Meantime, all eyes turn this morn
ing to those moving ceremonies in
Paris and in London. The body of
an unknown poilu is to be entombed
beneath that arch Of victory, the
most celebrated Of the modern world.
And in Westminster Abbey. toward
which so many American feet have
trod in pilgrimage, the body of an
unknown British soldier is to be laid
at rest with every military honor.
There is high fitness in these
burials. There is eternal justice in
the tribute paid. The acts express
well what every thoughtful Ameri-
can feels. There never was greater
hero than the fighting man Of the
Allies However far short the lead
ership Of this country and that may
have fallen, the soldier, the unknown
soldier, whose name is cherished in
few hearts or none, never failed To
the last hour OF those drums and
trampings. the most terrible the hui
man world has ever recorded, he
held true.
Such are the emotions of this day.
Upon such emotions we must as a
nation base our course for the fu-
ture. The soldier held nothing in
reserve. He gave all lavishly He
would have fought on as long as the
fight demanded his soul and body.
If victory was not complete, if such
victory as there was has not been
turned to the full service Of the gen
erations to come, the fault was never
his. SO must we fight. This Is am
occasion for fresh resolves, Tor set
ting our faces toward new day. In
the spirit Of the unknown soldiers we
must put behind us every petty or
partisan or selfish end and seek,
with all the will and wisdom we pos
sess, to build upon their sacrifice the
utmost of enduring service to the
cause Of justice and right.
New-York tribune., 1920-11-11
The Shipping Exposures

That gross abuses in the Shipping
Board management have been un-
covered is not surprising. They are
consistent with the demonstrated in
capacity Of the present Administra-
ton to do any difficult work we'll.
They show again that the silent but
undivorceable partners Of public own
ership experiments in this country
are graft and costly inetficiency.
The emergency merchant marine
fleet was built to meet war necessi-
ties. When hostilties ceased the OBJ
vious thing to do was to liquidate the
enterprise. But the Administration
was unwilling to face the fact that
it had paid $3.50 q ton for shipping
whose post-bellum value was S1OO
or less. Instead Of writing off the
loss it struggled to conceal it and
would not sell at the market price.
Moreover, the idea found accent
ance at Washington that it was not
safe to trust private owners to have
full control Of rates and routings.
SO the a administration retained con-
matured partnership schemes
under which the public treasury was
to assume risks of operation in re-
turn for acceptance Of it's dictation.
Of course, private operators were
willing to go in on these terms, and
they have seen to it that the supply
concerns with which they dealt gave
them secret and profitable discounts.
The plan was bound to smash. To
have things go well it is indispensa-
bic to let operators control their
business, making money if they are
skillful and of good judgment, and
losing it if they lack these qualities.
Besides refusing to sell at market
prices, the administration would not
allow the outright renting of the
government ships. Shipping men
begged for chance to charter ton
mage, but were shown the door as
suspicious characters.
No one accuses Admiral Benson
OF corruption, or so much as hints
that he knew what was going on.
But. though an officer and a gentle
man, he was wanting in the special
knowledge and training needed to
carry on gigantic business. More
over, he was tethered by the public
ownership ideas of those above him
and in vital matters was denied
free hand. 1t is doubtful if any one
could have succeeded under the con-
ditions prescribed for him.
To crown all, the Administration
showed at the maximum its inepti-
tude for administration. Doctors.
veterinary surgeons, BARRIERS, dry
goods clerks and others of non
marine callings were appointed as
inspectors of both ships and plants.
1t was not difficult for the cunning
to befuddle such. What happened
was inevitable. With theorizing at
the top, with subserviency among
the managers and inexperience and
seltishness at the bottom, but one re-
suit was possible.
New-York tribune., 1920-11-11
The Medal Muddle

War medals are now being dis
tributed in the navy. The absurdity
Of many Of the awards is we'll
known. The whole trouble was
caused by Mr.. Daniels. With no
knowledge of naval warfare, without
a military fiber in his makeup, he
was totally incompetent to decide
such a matter.
His first blunder was in naming
the board Of awards. All of them
were retired officers, and the major
ity belonged to the non-combatant
corps Of the navy. There was a
chaplain, civil engineer, doctor, a
paymaster and naval constructor.
Some of these gentlemen had never
been to sea! They knew little or
nothing Of naval warfare and were
not well qualified to Judge of such
matter.
1t is manifest that these medals
should have been sparingly awarded
and only to those who served in
the war zone. The Victory Medal
was a sufficient reward for officers
and men who served elsewhere. Had
the board been composed of the three
admlrals who had commanded fleets,
and who were qualified for such
duty, an undignified and ridiculous
situation would have been avoided
But Mr.. Daniels muddled this mat
ter as he has everything else. The
navy is helpless.

which they trade for will be re-
spectcd when legitimately coming
into their hands. Nor without
profits is there a fund provided for
repairs and improvements.
Nevertheless, it is significant that
the Socialist organ acknowledges,
whatever the cause, that the Rus
sian experiment is a demonstrated
failure. If it is at last led to con-
fess, who will continue to deny?

One Vote for Debs
le Editor Of The Tribune

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; l wish to take exceptions to
your editorial in to-days issue entitled
"Voting for Debs," in which YOU at
tempt to explain why the Socialist
vote reached such proportions.
| wish to say that am one who cast
vote for Debs and am not Social
ist and never cast vote for that
party before and have voted for twenty
years. am an Independent Repub-
hcan when it comes to politics and I
cast my vote for Eugene V Debs SIM
ply to register my protest against the
cowardly and unhu,ran treatment that
he has received at the hands of bunch
of self-styled patriots who happened
to hold the reins of once free gov
eminent
Throwing conscientious man into
prison SIMPLY because he dares to
speak his convictions in a countrv
whose Constitution guarantees free
speech and political and religious
liberty IS crime as black as any Rus
sian Car or German Emperor ever at
tempted, and if persisted in will even
tually result in just such an upheaval
as those nations have experienced. I
know there are thousands Of others
throughout the country who gave a
vote TO Debs for the same reason.
| hope and believe that our Presi-
dent-elect will lose no time in setting
at liberty this political martyr and
thus erase the stain upon Americas
once fair name, and there will be less
Socialist votes four years hence.

An Acknowledged Failure

The New York Call, hardshell
Socialist publication, which is con-
Quoted on the theory that thought
and progress ceased when Marx and
Engels wrote their manifesto, asks
the question, "ls the experiment in
Russia a failure?' and answers the
Interrogation by saying Eyes"
The explanation of the failure
given by The Call is scarcely worth
discussing. 1t consists of the
familiar excuses that Russia has
had six years of war and that the
Communist machine inherited a bad
estate from the czars. The alibi is,
of course, childish. Except on its
borders, Central Russia has seen no
hostile soldier As to the inheri
tancc from the old regime, evil as it
was in many respects, sovietism has
so far lived on it-on its gold its
jewels, its railways, its factories, its
accumulated goods. Except for the
partially going concern that Lenine
and Trotzky seized, their experiment
long ago would have come to a dead
stop. They have added nothing to
Russia's stock of disable property;
have worn out and destroyed what
there was, without replacements, not
to speak Of additions.
Why the experiment has failed is
no mystery. Men will not create or
Grade unless they know that which
they create will be theirs and that

movement is an excellent beginning.
The more individuals and organi-
cations that lend their aid the quick
er results will show. The reckless
automobile driver should be one of
the first to be reached. More
stringent law enforcement is one
method Of curbing him. But a
realization of the foolish and wan
ton risks Of such driving, to others
and to ones self, should be taught

And some prints I've torn from In
