Back to Methuselah:

exuberance of 1901 has aged into the
garrulity Of 1920; and the war has
been stern intimation that the mat
ter is not one to be trifled with. :.
1t Is my hope that hundred apter
and more elegant parallels by young

behind as the religious pictures of
the fifteenth century left behind the
frat attempts of the early Christians
at iconography."
We are thus plainly confronted by
a crisis. Brushing lightly aside the
turmoil of politics, the question of
war or peace, the trade of the world,
the high jinks of the Irish and the
solemn activities of the intellectuals,
everybody knows that the two great
branches of the Anglo-Saxon race
have secretly depended upon George
Bernard Shaw to pull them through.

lanes B. Ludlow

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The death of James B. Ludlow
ought not to be allowed to pass with
out some expression from his many
friends of their great sense of personal
loss and of the loss to this community.
Like so many Of our best and truest,
he had never figured in the public life of
his city and state, but as representa-
tive of old New York-in the best sense
of the phrase-there are not many now
living who deserve to be remembered
as much as he. His classmates at Har-
ward and his large circle of friends
everywhere knew we'll his devoted 10y
atty to all and everything that appealed
to him and came within the circle of
his influence. There have been few
who were so loyal to old friends, to
old traditions, and so unsparing of him
self in what he could do for them as
James Ludlow. His CHEEKY and hos
pitable greetings at his old home at
Ludlow-on-the-Hudson will long be re-
membered by those who knew him and
who now know we'll what they have
lost. LAWRENCE GODKIN.

Confirming the Admiral

IF you hadn't gone into the war
to help England we would be free
to-day" are the words attributed to
Mary MacSwiney by The New York
Call. sBlame for the present .situa
tion in Ireland" reports The Call,
"was placed by the speaker squarely
upon the shoulders Of the United
States"
Admiral Sims in his London
speech said that the members of the
Sim Fein "were not only openly dis
loyal; they were openly pro-German.
They were not even neutral; they
were working night and day for a
German victory"
If the United States was respon-
sible for the defeat of Germany, and
this defeat is the cause of the pres
ent situation in Ireland, it would
seem that the Admiral if put on de-
Tense may call Miss -MacSwiney to
prove the accuracy Of his descrip-
tion Of the Sim Fein attitude.
Either she misrepresents the Sim
Fein attitude or it was one neces-
sarily hostile to the success of the
arms OF the United States, and it
is not strange why our sailors were
attacked in Cork.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-18
The Naval Bill Deasliocked

The House conferees have with
drawn temporarily from the confer
ence on the naval appropriations
act. They found the Senate mem
bers unwilling to surrender amend
ments by which the upper branch
added about $100,0o0,000 to the total
carried in the House bill. The pend
ing appropriations are intended to
take effect on July / next. But by
the passage of resolution, custo-
mary in such cases, the aDpropria
tlons for the current year may be
continued pending action on a new
bill. A deadlock lasting into July
can do little harm. But the longer
it lasts the weaker the Senate's posi-
tion will be.
The act for 192o-'21 appropriated
$433, 100000. For 1922 the SEN
ate wants to vote $494, 100000, the
House about S10O,OOO,00 less. From
the Houses point Of view the present
law is better than the Senate bill.
From the Senate's point of view it
is much worse. since the Senate is
anxious to add one or two airplane
carriers to the list Of capital ships,
although it doesn't want to offset
their extra cost by dispensing with
other less necessary construction.
The House has the public behind
it on the issue of economy, although
the Senate's selection of building
types is better. Common sense points
to a compromise allowing at least
one airplane carrier and reductions
on other ships. This Congress was
elected as a retrenchment Congress,
and it will fail politically if it doesn't
maintain the resolute attitude to-
ward Wilson post-armistice extrava-
gance which it's predecessor took.
A naval appropriation act carry
ing not much more than $4O0,OO0,O0o
will establish beyond question the
will of Congress to deilate excessive
naval expenditure. For 1920-'21 Mr..
Daniels asked $5s2, 100000. Congress
granted him $433 900, ,OO0--a reduc-
tion of $149, 100000. For 1922 he
demanded S679, 100000. If Congress
appropriates 100000, 900 it will have
saved s279,Ooo,oo0 this year and
$428,000,000 in the last two years.
Those who complain most loudly
Of the size of army and navy appro-
priations forget the great work Con-
gress has been doing to protect the
taxpayers. If Mr.. Wilson and his
advisers had had their way the
army and the navy together would
have cost us this year and next year
about $1,375,00O,000 more than they
are probably going to cost us. Isn't
this service sufficient to stop the
mouths of those who are railing at
Congress for military extravaganza?
New-York tribune., 1921-06-18
Fire Insurance Figures
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Regarding fire insurance. let
this fact sink in: Fire insurance rates
are, and have been for the last couple
OF years, exactly what they were in
1914 on residence property of every
kind. Can the same be said Of any
other service or commodity?
The $120,o0o,000 increase in premi-
uns collected is for the greater part
reflection of the increased valuation set
upon the property insured by the own
crs themselves. For year or so prior
to the middle of 1920 there was vast
increase IN the amount of insurance
carried, solely on account of the great
ly increased value of merchandise
stocks, the high value of building ma
terials that went into property ana
the smaller value of the dollar gen.
orally.
Countless interviews have been given
out and articles written by experts on
the housing situation, and can't recall
one where the cost of fire insurance
was even considered worthy Of men'
ticn
The actual cost of insuring one or
two family house in the city is about
s cents per each 500 for year
(three-year policy. This amounts 70
80 cents for $1,000, So for $4,000 and
$50 for 100000 Of insurance. (For an
apartment house 100000 would coss
about S125 year.)
The taxes alone on such a properly
would be about $4,000, so the Insurance.
item is hardly a flea bite. Actually the
cost of brass polish or soap or rubbing
oil or any such incidental wouia
amount to as much or more in such an
apartment house. o. W. RING.

Help Russia Somehow
he Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Russia's return to stable gov
crnment depends almost wholly upon
America. The Russians not only have
believed in America but have admired
her as well. A signal Of llelp from
America will encourage Russia to
reach out toward democracy.
Now is not the time to talk about
concessions through which millions can
be made, nor about any other business
transactions which are based upon busi-
ness principles only. But it is the
time to do for Russia what the spirit
of American principles prompts US to
do for her.
1t will be wrong to recognize the
Soviet government in Russia, which
does not govern the people, but which
rules them in such a manner that even
the Cars yoke was never as heavy nor
as painful as the one which has been
adopted by these self-named liberals
and reformers, Lenine and Trotzky.
Some of our friends claim that Soviet
Russia needs cotton and great num-
Der of other commodities which we
have to offer, and because we are so
anxious to dispose of them it makes no
difference that the gold received in re-
turn has been soiled with human
blood.
The United States cannot help Russia
by arranging commercial relationship

The Champion of Lower Dues

If The Globes direct primary race
is indicative of popular sentiment it
is possible to distinguish new trend
in politics. Our own r. P. A. has re-
ceived more votes for Mayor than
Nicholas Murray Butler, George M.
Cohan, jeremiah O'Leary, William
M. Bennett and William Randolph
Hearst. Among others running be-
hind him are Senator Calder and
Henry Curran.
Mr.. Adams talked yesterday Of
demanding recount, but SO. far has
taken no definite action. Perhaps
there is truth in the rumor that
President Koenig has sent an ennis
'sary to Mr.. Adams to sound him out
and see if his views are acceptable to
the organization.
If elected Mr.. Adams promises to
reduce the summer membership fees
at country clubs. This issue, he
says, equals in Importance the trac-
ton problem and deserves the atten-
tion of Mr.. Untermyer and the Lock
wood committee.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-18
True, it was the Articles Of the Bar

True, it was the Articles of the Bar
ons, or, literally translated, "Capit-
ulations which the barons demand
and the Lord King comedies" But,
as J. r. Green says, "The rights
which the barons claimed for them
selves they claimed for the nation at
large" That fact was definitely ex-
pressed in the chief provisions, as
in that one which we have quoted,
and in so far as it was not thus ex-
pressed it was unmistakably and
inevitably implied. The inexorable
logic of it was that the rights Sc
cured by some were to be enjoyed by
all, and thus the Magma Charta of
the barons becomes a Bill of Rights
for all the sons of men.
