New-York tribune., 1921-04-23
The Yellow Streak

If, as his brother radicals plainly
fear, Bill Haywood has deserted his
cause for parts unknown his knell
as a leader is sounded. Human
nature is very much alike in every
group. Followers of a hero can
tolerate every sin in their idol ex-
cept yellowness. If Haywood has
been yellow enough to abandon his
co-defendants, jump his bail and
slide out just as Jail time drew
near his influence is gone. There
is not an I. w. w. but will see that
by fleeing "Big Bill" has made it
more difficult for his fellows to get
bond.
There has been something very
akin to yellowness on the part of
some Of the intellectuals who have
foregathered with the I. w. w. head
and patted him on the back and told
him what great man he was. This
sort of radical usually back-pedals
violently as the doors of jail swing
open ahead and is willing to swear to
almost anything to escape the con-
sequences of his filtration with
sedition.
The rougher radical, the genuine
leader of Reds, has more courage as
rule. The yellow streak is, per-
haps, no more frequent with him
than other human beings. Patrick
Quinlan gave himself up in Seattle
when the final decision went against
him, although he could easily have
fed the country. He said he would
not make the lot Of other men harder.
Debs never evaded or sought escape
has shown himself q man of cour-
age and honor; according to his con-
victions he has fought the fight and
he has taken the consequences.
AS regards the enforcement Of the
law, no treachery Of leader can
have any effect to tighten the SEN
tences that must be enforced against
his fellows. If anything, the su-
premacy of the law must be more
completely demonstrated. It is hard
luck that the lesser defendants
should go to Jail and the prime in.
stigator go free. But time rectifies
such inequalities. If Bill Haywood
has, indeed, jumped his bail he will
be an outcast and a wanderer. g
man without a country or a friend
to his dying day. No heavier punish
ment could be imagined.

America S Making
School Festival to Represent National
Unity-"E Pluribus Unum'

Onty- T. Flurlbus Onum
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The communication published
in your columns on April 18 signed
An American Teacher" apparently
misapprehends the whole spirit and
content of the festival and exhibit.
called "America's Making" which is to
be held in New York City next October
under the auspices of the state and
city departments of education.
The purpose Of this celebration Is
briefly stated in the following extract
from circular issued by Americas
Making, Inc:
ITO show in popular form, by means
of exhibits and pageantry, the most
important historical, economic and
cultural contributions that Ameri-
cans Of various racial descent, from
the original colonists down to the
present, have made to the American
nation, thereby to give each group
fuller sense of appreciation of its
own share in the nations upbuilding.
to promote still closer American union
and point the way by which we may
further enrich our national life. A
general structural and decorative plan
will bind all the exhibits together in
one unified and harmonious whole,
representing the unity of the Ameri-
can nation -'E pluribus unum' '-t to
which all those racial elements have
contributed"
In holding that this undertaking en-
courages racial divergence within the
American community the writer Of the
communication obviously reads into it
an emphasis quite contrary to that
which is actually given-namely, the
convergence of many racial elements
in new American civilization, which
is unique in the history of the world.
In referring to the racial elements
whose contributions are to be shown
the author of the communication uses
the words "among the nations given
prominence in the list" etc. Here lies
the misconception. Nothing whatever
having to do with any other nation
than the American nation will enter
into tho celebration. The various Sec
tions will not be designated as those
OF Poland OF Spain or Czecho-Slo
vakia, for instance, but as those Of
Americans" of Polish, Spanish or
Czecho-Slovakian birth or descent.
Equally contrary to fact is it that in
this celebration any one is to be "classi-
fed as an Italian or as Russian or
as an Englishman." All will come to-
gether in common American fellowship
and patriotism.

education are under the Interior;
the children's bureau is under
Labor. Vocational education, in
Guiding rehabilitation Of wounded
soldiers and sailors, is looked after
by an independent board. Hospital
ization is under the Army and Navy
departments.
These services belong together
and should be organized into a
single department. Their cost could
be thus reduced. Also, If response
bility for getting results had been
centralized, the governments fasco
in furnishing prompt relief to dis
abled veterans would probably have
been avoided.
Public welfare is ono Of tho pri-
mary aims Of government. Why
not recognize that fact, giving pub
lie welfare work standing equal
to that Of other governmental
activities?

A Striking Contrast

fFTorn The Los Angeles Times
Attention is renewed to the circuIn'
stance that the pay Of member Of the
British Parliament is less than $4,000
a year in American money. The mem
bers do not have secretaries at public
expense, neither do they travel on rail"
way passes. They do not distributa
garden seeds to their constituents
and they pay postage on their mail the
same as the average citizen. They have
no franking privilege enabling them to
send forth unlimited campaign litera-
ture At the cost of the government. The
member of Parliament is not nearly as
advantageously fixed as an American
Congressman. On the other hand, the
British diplomatic service is better
cared for and paid than is the like sew
ice in America. The American Corr
gresham was determined to care Tor
his own interests first. He may ges
around to the diplomats after swhile'
Give him time.
