Sound and Potent Basic Principle

0VuAu 6Au Z USVAb 0ooAV L AAANAt0Ss
Postmaster General Hays has added
a third to the fundamental principles
upon which. he declares, his admirtis-
tration will be based. His first slogan
was: Human sympathy in dealing
with employees" His second was: No
partisan spoils system in distributing;
patronage" His third is: Freedom Of
the press to be resumed in peace tirn,
as the dominant principle in dealing
with newspaper applications for SEQ
ond-class rates.
The third slogan is announced in
granting the second.class rate privilege
to certain publications which on ac-
count Of their character and tend
encies were in effect denied this
privilege during the war. though they
were accepted as mailable at the third
class rate Of postage.
The Postmaster General says:
The war is over. We must return
to the ordered freedom. Our method
of safeguarding the public welfare.
while at the same time maintaining
freedom of the press. has been found
through a long period Of stable civil
liberty better for the public welfare
and personal security of citizens than
to establish a bureaucratic censorship
which In its nature becomes a matter
of individual opinion, prejudice or
caprice There is a certain cost in
FREQ institutions in which the institu-
ton OF freedom of the press shares.
but we in this country have preferred
to pay such costs from time to time
rather than to seek protection through
the historically discredited devices of
bureaucratic governments. Either
these publications should be entirely
suppressed and their publishers prose-
cuted or they should be given equal
mailing rights in common with the
other periodicals Of the country"
Human sympathy" appointments
on Merit" and Freedom Of the Press"
combine in an exalted and potent
trinity Of sound principles.

Reds in Mexico.

The reds are showing an armed front
in Mexico. Thursday they captured a
village. killed the chief Of police, and
wounded the mayor. At another point,
not far distant, they made q demon
stration. Their flag was in evidence,
and was raised above buildings.
They were dispersed. but their bare
appearance in militant mood should
spur the authorities throughout the
country to investigation and action.
Conditions in Mexico are inviting for
men possessed Of the red spirit and in
red pay. The country has been in
turmoil for ten years. Several gov
erpments have been established and
upset. Revolution has become 9 aort
Of pasttme.
The rank and dle Of the people hsve
been fed on discomfort. They have
been aroused against tho leaders Of
their own country. and warned against
the leaders Of this country. A yarn
has been in circulation for several
years that the United States has In
purpose the annexation OF Mexico.
The reds could not ask for a better
field Of operation. The ground seems
prepared for them. Expert agitators
are at homo where the grade Of popu.
lar intelligence is not high. and dis.
order Is familiar.
That such agitators-men Of foreign
birth and training-have been busy in
Mexico has been repeatedly charged.
and the charge is very persuasive.
Such men have been busy in this
country, where the situation is Tar less
inviting than that in Mexico.
It is plain enough that q red upris.
ing in Mexico on a largo scale-the
demonstrations we'll scattered-would
add a very grave feature to q situa-
tion already grave.

Getting Back to Work.

Despite continued stagnation IN
some lines Of industry and positive
recession in q very limited number Of
others, the country as a whole Is
gradually getting back to work This
is evidenced by government employ.
nent figures for April. covering four.
teen principal industries. The reports
show that while in every case the
total pay roll was less last month than
for April. 1920. in half tho industries
it was larger than for March Of this
year. When It Is taken into account
that in a number Of tho industries
making the improved showing wage
reductions have been put into effect,
1t Is apparent that many men who
were idle in March were back on the
tob.dn April

ployers have given evidence Of fair
intent wage reductions have been &C.
cepted without serious protest.
That this has been true in so many
instances gives ground for belief that
the process Of readjustment may be
accomplished without serious indus
trial strife. If employers have the
wisdom not to attempt to enforce wage
reductions which would require the
workers to accept lower standards Of
living there Is good promise that all
will be we'll with American industry.
Organized labor lost a lot Of public
sympathy because Of belief that it
sought to take unfair advantage of'the
situation created by the war. If now,
when the tables are turned. employers
seek to take unfair advantage Of labor,
public opinion will be as quick to con-
denim and punish them.

Decrease in Prices.

The national industrial conference
board makes a report that living costs
decreased about one per cent during
April. OF course, the costs with which
we are directly concerned are the costs
in May. and especially the last week
|in May. Perhaps some of us will find
consolation that living costs decreased
)one per cent in April, and some men
with a skeptical attitude toward fig
Hres and figurers may challenge the
statement that living costs decreased
st all.
1t would be helpful if men could be
furnished with bill of particulars or
AN itemized statement showing what
things decreased in price. SO that
we could buy those things - even
though the result were to put those
prices up again. The report says that
during April food recorded the great
esd decrease of all commodities, drop
ping 81 per cent" 1t might make
things clearer if the report stated in
what part Of the country this drop
is supposed to have taken place. The
report also says that average rents
andt the cost Of sundries did not
change" If by average rents" is
meant house rent, fiat rent and store
renttthe report looks as though it were
correct. The report also partly agrees
withs the observation of Washington
people when it says that decreases in
the COST of clothing and Of fuel and
light swere very small" 1t might be
possible to prepare a long list Of other
things that would show "a very small

The National Victory Memorial.

Announcement Of the decision reach
ed to start work on the proposed ma
tional victory memorial building in
Washington next fall, carried in yes
terday's news columns Of The Star,
will be received with qualification by
millions Of Americans who have evnced
genuine interest in the plan thus to
honor the valiant sons and daughters
Of the republic who have risked their
all that the nation might live. No edi-
flee ever erected will surpass in archi-
tectural grandeur or in facilities for
patriotic service this tribute Of the
American people to their own flesh
and blood. Tennessee's prompt action
in appropriating 100000 for the gold
stars that will be set in the dome OF
the building as an everlasting me
mortal to her sons who died that
liberty might prevail assures support
for the project from the nation at
large, as no commonwealth will be
found wanting in paying a just tribute
to its martyred dead. The memorial
seems assured as a national expression
Of the gratitude Of more than one hun
dred million people for the heroic sac
rifices Of the soldiers Of the republic
from the time Of Washington down.
To Washington the memorial an
nouncement is of particular interest
not only because the edifice Is to be
erected here, but because it will go
far toward developing national pride
in the capital as the city Of every
, American. The structure will include
a room for each state in the Union and
mammoth auditorium for the hold
ing Of inaugural ceremonies and pub
lie gatherings dedicated to patriotic
purposes. Thus, the memorial Will
provide the facilities for the long
projected states permanent exhibition
in Washington, expected to stimulate
development of national resources, and
will solve Washington's auditorium
problem. in addition to standing su-
preme among the worlds memorials
to patriotic sacrifice.
Citizens of Washington win rejoice
in the memorial announcement al q
personal victory for Mrs. Henry F.
Dimock, who has given unstndngiy
Of her time and private fortune in the
effort to arouse nationwide interest
in the plan. For several years Mrs.
Dimock has labored steadfastly in be-
half Of the project. never doubling
that success eventually would be the
reward. Before the war there was
only lukewarm support for the sug.
gestion Of a memorial here to COM
memorate the achievements of the con-
tinental soldiers. But after four mil.
lion Americans in Europe had linked
American valor Of 1917 with that of
1875 the memorial project was en-
larged to perpetuate the glory Of those
who had saved the Union as we'll as
those who had founded it In this
form the project went before the coun-
try and its reception has been such as
to leave little doubt Of its receiving the
full stamp Of approval Of the patriotic
citizens Of every state.
