Why Building Lays

If all building were done on the
same basis as Mr.. Richards wooden
bowl-the cost and profit paid in
day-there would be no housing
problem. But, unfortunately, the
sort of fights staged in apartments
and suburban homes do not draw a
gate; and the money which goes into
their construction is returned slowly
the investment amortized over
long period Of years. Furthermore,
if there is prospect of a fall in wages
and materials, building becomes
highly speculative adventure. The
dwelling of to-day may have to meet
the competition of the new one built
tomorrow with cheaper materials
and labor; and if it does, part of the
money used for it's construction must
be charged off as loss-the value
must be written down to meet the
new scales of prices and wages.
That is why obstinate material
men and obstinate labor have sue
ceeded in making the housing situa-
ton in this city nearly intolerable.
AS to the first, it need only be said
that the latest statistics compiled by
the government-those for May
showed that lumber and building
materials were, on the average, 102
per cent higher than the price level
which prevailed in 1913, whereas the
average of all commodities was only
81 per cent above the pre-war basis.
The material men insist on holding
to their old margins Of profit, al
though in almost every other branch
Ct industry there has been exceed
ingly drastic defation.
And as to the second, the current
news provides the illustration. When
employers in the New York building
trades propose that the workers ac-
cept voluntarily reduction of 81
day in wages Patrick Crowley, head
of the notorious Building Trades
Council, intimates that the workers
will meet the request with a counter
demand for an increase of 81 a day!
Perhaps Mr.. Crowley does not
know that in stubbornly sticking out
for war-boom wages he must of ne
cessity impose further unemploy-
ment on the members of his organi-
zation. Perhaps he does not know
that the occasions and issues of con-
fiict-if he thinks his men would
rather fight than work-are so de-
cidedly against him as to make VIC
tory for his organization hopeless.
Perhaps he does not care whether
or not housing conditions remain in
definitely in their present deplorable
condition.
But the people of this city do.
The obstinate tactics of labor and
material men cannot be tolerated
much longer. Their refusal to rec
ognize the fact that the fantastic
postwar imitation is past and that
no group or groups can escape their
share of the defation is responsible
for the continued acuteness of the
housing situation, and, what is more
important, is contributing to prolong
the depression now gripping this
country,
For the plain facts are that the
recovery of business cannot get un-
der full Roadway until construction
work is resumed and that there will
be no great revival in building until
deiation in that industry--in labor
as well as in materials--has pso-

In Debt to Wounded Soldier,

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: l am opposed to a soldiers
bonus under whatever disguise it may
appear. But there is nothing more irri-
tating to me than the constantly reiter-
ated counter argument: if you be sweet
and good we will pay what we owe to
the wounded soldiers. What the gov
ornment owes the wounded soldiers is
just as clearly due as an award under
the New York workingmen's compensa-
ton act.
l really know very little about this
so-called vocational training, but I am
inclined to believe it is bunk. i sec
that they are teaching our incapacitated
comrades to weave baskets. There seems
to be an affinity between amateur soci.
ology and basket-weaving. Possibly the
idea is that after the soldier has accu-
mulated good supply of baskets he can
go out in the woods somewhere and fill
them with huckleberries.

Here is an answer to "Curiosity's'
question from the ex-soldiers' maya
zine, The Home Sector:
"Who Was Sam Browne?
"The original Sam Browne was a
most gallant English officer and gentle
man who won the Victoria Cross fight
ing for merry England in India during
the autumn Of 1858.
Lord Roberts, Field Marshal and
advocate of preparedness in England,
who was a friend of the dashing cav.
airy officer, gives this account Of the
dead hero who received so much pub
licity in the late war because he was
careless enough to have his arm cut off
and therefore forced to devise some
means whereby he could be present at
parade without his trusty saber drag
ging on the ground:
"'This popular and gallant officer, well
known to every native in upper India
as "Sam Brun Sahib" and to the officers
of the whole of his majesty's army as
the inventor of the sword-beIt univer-
sally adopted on service, distinguished
himself greatly in the autumn of 1853.
With 230 sabers Of his own regiment
and $50 native infantry he attacked a
party Of rebels who had taken up po-
sition at Nuria, village at the edge
Of the Tarai, about ten miles from Phil
ibhit. Browne managed to get to the
rear of the enemy without being dis
covered.
GA hand-to-hand fight then ensued,
in which he got two severe wounds, one
on the knee, from which he nearly bled
to death, the other on the left shoulder,
cutting right through the arm. The enc
my were completely routed, and fled,
leaving their four guns and 800 dead on
the ground. Browne was deservedlv
rewarded with the Victoria Cross
"Sam Browne died at The Wood,
Ryde, Isle of Wight, on March IA, 1901.
A memorial tablet has been put up for
him in st. Paul's Cathedral in London. !"

ceeded to the point where investors
can make a venture without ASSUME

The sooner Mr.. Crowley and the
others come to see what long has
been obvious to every one else the
better it will be for themselves and

Why a Dual Alliance?

The Anglo-Japanese treaty, as
amended in 1911, contains a pre-
amble defining the purposes of the
alliance. These purposes are:
"a. The consolidation and main
tenance of the general peace in the
regions of eastern Asia and of India.
''B. The preservation of the COM
mon interests of all powers in China
by insuring the independence and in
tegrity of the Chinese Empire and
the principle of equal opportunities
for the commerce and industry of all
nations in China.
&C. The maintenance Of the terri
torial rights of the high contracting
parties in the regions of eastern Asia
and of India and the defense of their
special interests in said regions"
What are the Especial interests"
of Great Britain and Japan-espe-
cially Of Japan-in the Near East,
as contrasted with the common in
terests of all powers" in that region,
including China?
Some idea of the japanese point
Of view was conveyed in the famous
demands which Japan submitted to
the Chinese government in the latter
part of the world conflict.
Secretary Hughes wrote a letter
the other day to the Chinese Minis
ter in Washington, which said, in
part:
"The government of the United
States has never associated itself
with any arrangement which sought
to establish any special rights or
privileges in China which would
abridge the rights of the subjects or
citizens of other friendly states, and
l am happy to assure you that it is
the purpose of this government
neither to participate nor acquiesce
in any arrangement which might
purport to establish in favor of for
eign interests any superiority of
rights with respect to commercial or
economic development in designated
regions of the territory Of China, or
which might seek to create any such
monopoly or preference as would ex-
clude other nationals from undertake
ing any legitimate trade or industry,
or from participating with the Chi
nese government in any category of
public enterprise"
This is restatement of the Ameri-
can "open door" principle which
seems to leave no distinction between
the common interests" of the
powers and the Special interests"
mentioned in Clause G of the Anglo
Japanese treaty's preamble. If there
is, in fact, no distinction, so far as
China is concerned, an alliance of
two Pacific powers to maintain "spe-
cial interests" can hardly fail to jar
on the sensibilities of the other Pa
cific powers. Why shouldn't the
dual alliance be supplanted by a
wider concert, including the British
dominions, some of which object to
the present exclusive arrangement,
as well as the United States, France
and China?
Every Pacific power has stake
in maintaining peace in eastern Asia
and insuring the independence and
integrity of China. A concert of
nine nations for this purpose would
be more helpful than a concert of
two. ..ss,

THE PINE

IHE FINE
The axeman passed you by
And age has spared you still,
Pinnacled darkly against the sky
Upon your westward hill.
Athwart tho sunsets flare,
High and serene, you stand,
Topping your lonely summit there
Above the mcadow-land.
So might an ancient tower
Rise In It's lofty place,
A witness to the vanished power
OF some forgotten race.
Never may crawling greed
From out the valley climb
And on your living glory feed
Before your destined time;
But may vast wind smite
Your head, If fall you must,
And kindly seasons in their flight
Blend your great heart with dust
