Constantine the Pariah

Constantine has been back on the
Greek throne only q few weeks, but
already the first restoration Cab
met has fallen, and Greeks who are
at liberty to speak their minds are
demanding second abdication. The
Greeks Of Boston passed resolutions
last Sunday urging Tino's speedy re-
tirement as the only means of pre-
venting a revision Of the Sevres
treaty.
Constantine expects to be repre-
sented at the London conference Of
February 21 next 20 discuss treaty
notifications. But the Rhallis Cab
met recklessly insulted the Allied
powers by appointing Gounaris as
the chief delegate. Gounaris is bit
terly anti-Entente and was one Of
the chief agents Of the court at
Athens in the struggle to bind Greece
to German interests. He was ex-
lied by the Allies when Constantine
was deposed and is charged by them
with having broken the conditions of
his parole. Nevertheless, the new
ministry has reappointed him, ignor-
ing the presumption that France and
Great Britain will exclude him from
the conference.
Venizelos, putting aside his per-
sonal grievances, has come forward
In London with a plea for tho en-
fcrcement Of the Sevres treaty as IL
stands. Greece turned away from
him with shameful ingratitude. He
enlarged her boundaries and relieved
hundreds Of thousands of Greeks
from the Turkish or Bulgarian yoke.

Another Mooney Confession

John Mcdonald, the star witness
against Mooney, has confessed that
his testimony was perjured and has
told Of the circumstances under
which he was coached by the prose
cution. He confirms the revelations
recently made by Policeman Hand,
another witness against Mooney, who
recovered his conscience.
Since the conviction Of Mooney on
evidence that convinced few series
of recantations has occurred, all
pointing In the direction of his inno-
cence. They had weight enough to
make Governor Stephens Of Cali
fornia unwilling to take responsible
ity for MONEYS death. But so far
they have not induced the Governor
"a formal trial being impossible) to
issue pardon which will make it
possible to try Mooney on one Of the
companion indictments, based on the
same facts, returned against him,
and thus secure new trial in fact.
The case of Mooney is important
because it involves the honor of our
judicial system. Never must there
be given even plausibility to the rad
ical charge that our courts are re-
spectors of persons and amenable
to improper influences. This is true
conservatism. Because there is
doubt of the integrity of the case
against Mooney the country has in
truded on California's business to
urge clearing away Of the doubt.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: NJ. 6. A. seems to have missed
the whole point in Main Street
think Sinclair Lewis meant to picture
us humans as we really are the world
over, fallible, funny and futilel
Every town has it's Main Street;
every human on that street has pesky
little faults and funny little virtues.
Every street in every town might we'll
be called Main Street in that sense.
The book shows clear insight and a
wonderful understanding. To the other
fellow each of US is susceptible of
Improvement. Reformers are general
ly mere fault-fnders-good critics, but
poor creators! Every character in the
book fell short of perfection. That is
as it should be. That is why we can
laugh at ourselves and them!

Accident Rather Than Suicide

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I read the very sad news re-
garding Wilson Dexter, of Woodstock,
N. Y.
To one, knowing Mr.. Dexter and his
family, and his successful career as
an artist and business man, it would
seem almost impossible that he would
take his life by jumping before train.
It seems to me more possible that
through some accident Mr.. Dexter was
pushed off the platform, thing that
could happen to anybody during the
crowded hours, and which almost hap
pened to me at II o'clock Sunday night
at the Times Square station. 1t would
be the most natural thing in the world
to try to save ones self by jumping to
clear the track. Personally, believe
this is what happened to Mr.. Dexter.

Arm Ships Against Airplanes
Our Navy Much Behind the Times
in nti-Aircraft Defense

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Having followed with interest
the progress of naval development for
b great many years, and noting the at
t1tude of Secretary Daniels with regard
to the advisability of continuing the
construction of capital ships, there is
me point in connection with the arna-
ment of our present and proposed ves-
sells that seems to me to be entirely
out of keeping with the times. In the
old battleships of the Indiana class,
when torpedo boats were being devel-
oped, and even to this day, when their
development has progressed to a high
degree, it Is very unusual that an at
tack by them against capital ship is
made in groups of more than two or
three destroyers or torpedo boats, and
more often than not the attack has
been an individual affair between one
torpedo boat Or destroyer and one cap-
ltal ship. Nevertheless, the torpedo de
Tense batteries on our battleships, from
the time of the Indiana to the present
Gay, have consisted of an almost over
whelming number of the small-caliber
rapidfre guns.
To-day we have a much more serious
additional element to contend with
namely, the bombing aeroplane attacks
in squadrons of six to ten or more ma
chimes. Notwithstanding the fact that
we have there q swift enemy, capable
g maneuvering in all directions with
the utmost rapidity, we find that our
capital ships are now being armed
against this new foe with merely four
to six anti-aircraft guns, which would
be Of almost infnitesimal consequence
against q feet attack.
The same proposition applies to the
anti-aircraft defense of our seacoast
fcrtifications. Evidently both our War
and Navy departments are very short
on what we might call practical imagi-
nation and anticipation Of the future,
to say nothing of proper recognition
Of the actual accomplishments and
practices.
You will find very great many stu
dents Of naval and coast defense sys-
tens ready to support the views above
expressed, and believe that their pub
lication In The Tribune may result
ultimately In the adoption of the de-
sired increase in anti-aircraft arma-
ments throughout our feet and fortfi-
cations. CARLOS DE ZAFRA.

Modest MIR. Enright

There really ought to be two Rich
ard E. Enrights. 1t is confusing
and embarrassing for Police Com
missioner Richard E. Enright to in
terview Police Commissioner Richard
E. Enright and prove from the manly
utterances of the latter that New
York is blessed with q great Police
Commissioner, and that there is no
crime wave in New York City and
that the Police Department is a per-
feet and corruptionless thing. Even
when the accomplished pen of Mr..
George Creel and the lavish dollars
of the New York taxpayers are
dragged into the scene-the former
to supply Mr.. Enright with the
fighting jaw and the pair of clear,
unwavering eyes" without which no
interview is complete, and the latter
to pay for the printing and paper
and stamps, and thus free Mr. En-
right from the unpleasant predica-
ment Of circulating propaganda in
his own behalf at his own expense
even thus supported, we say, Mr..
Commissioner Enright praising Mr..
commissioner Enright is not a
happy sight.
Suppose, too, that the present out
burst of popular enthusiasm for Mr..
Enright should not be satisfied with
this mere printed pamphlet in his
praise. Suppose there should be an
irresistible movement to pin medal
on Mr.. Enright's chest for distin-
guished services. Mr.. Enright could
make the speech of presentation
very beautifully and the speech of
acceptance as we'll and pin the
medal on his own chest with suitable
depreciation. But he could not seal
the ceremony with a kiss on either
cheek or otherwise salute himself.
No, there evidently must be two
Enrights---or none.
New-York tribune., 1921-02-09
Sooner Aspirations

The eagerness Of the McAdoo fol-
lowing to hasten George Whites
resignation as chairman Of the
Democratic National Committee is
in curious contrast with the leisure
ly detachment which characterized
Mr.. McAdoo's candidacy at San
Francisco. The ex-Secretary Of the
Treasury's chief preoccupation in
the months before the convention
met was refusing the kingly crown.
He declined TO run in the primary
states. He advised that no instruct
ed delegates be elected anywhere. He
denied to the end that he was a can
didate or had authorized any one to
present his name TO the convention.
If, under these circumstances, he
led on many ballots and might have
been nominated with little shrewd-
er generalship on the part Of his self
appointed managers, why should
there be SO keen a drive now to Sc
cure a national chairman favorable
to him three years before delegates
to the next Presidential convention
will begin to be chosen? The sonly
business the national committee has
in hand is raising money to pay off
Cox campaign debts. Can that be
particularly inspiring to candidate
who gave so many signs last spring
Of not even knowing whether he
wanted a nomination?
Champ Clark once came nearer
getting q Democratic Presidential
nomination than Mr.. McAdoo did.
He belongs to the older school, which
thinks that honors in national con-
ventions should go to leaders who in
the years leading up to a Presiden-
tial campaign have actually shaped
the party's policies. The Demo
cratic party's position in 1922 and
1924 will be determined largely by
what the Democrats in Congress do.
1t can be only slightly affected by
the work of the national committee.
To exert much power the Demo-
cratic National Committee would
have to be in touch with Demo-
cratic Administration and Federal
patronage. That will not be the
case from 1921 to 1925.
Mr.. Clark therefore intimates
that if the effort to rush Mr.. White
out of office represents a McAdoo
candidacy it is "sooner" candi-
dacy. Most persons competent to
pass on the teapot tempests Of par
tisan strategy are likely to accept
that cynical view.
