Japan's Naval Expansion.

Information In the hands Of the
Navy Department and secret agencies
of the United States Government as
to the feverish activity Of Japan In
building big warships and little war
ships in her efforts to double her navy
need not be taken as evidence of
undue hostility against the United
States or against any Power in par
ticular. For generation Japan has
been both ambitious and determined
to stand in the front military ranks
on both land and sea. 1t would not
be unnatural, after her expanded pos
sessions as the fruits of the war, for
Japan to wish to increase her naval
strength accordingly.
But whatever the explanation of
Japan's great building activity in re-
spect of war vessels, the American
duty is more than ever emphasized
along the lines expressed by THE New
York HERALD on December 16 Of last
year and January 20 of this year.
AS The New YORK HERALD said then,
the question is the proper balance OF
strength between our navy and that
Of Japan rather than in their actual
strength. This balance of strength
must be determined by the relative
vulnerability of the two countries
with their colonial dependencies and
by the extent of the commerce and
other prizes Of each.
In the measure Of the seabOdrdS
and harbors we have at stake, the
coast cities and Industrial centres we
must preserve, the population and
wealth we must defend, we must pro-
portionately have a sea power capa
BILE of safeguarding our incompara
BILE interests against any possible
attacks.
This was the safe doctrine before
Japan was reported to be extending
herself to the limit in building up
greater sea power. 1t is the safe doc
trine now and always will be. And
1t simply means that whatever Japan
does, under whatever circumstances.
we must do more-more In that true
sense of the proper balance, not as
to ship for ship but as to interest

Railroad Wages.
Leaders OF Union Labor Pursuing
a Mistaken Policy.

To THr NEW YORK HERALD. All right
minded people. business men and all
hands, desire that our workiTgmen shall
be paid good wages, for that brings
contentment and happiness in the home,
which is the genesis OF happiness and
prosperity In the nation. But there is a
misnomer about some of these working
men. I am not what you would call a
workingman in the sense that Is ac-
cepted by the public. but work harder
In a week than any workingman I know
does In a month.
According to the Federal Bureau of La
Dor statistics the fall In the wholesale
prices for living has been more than 30
per cent. The Federal Reserve Bank OF
New York makes the fall 3s per cent.
Bradstreet's Index puts It at about as
per cent Yet the proposition OF the rail-
roads to the Railroad Labor Board at
Chicago for reduction in wages at the
very highest calls for only a drop of 22
per cent, and this would leave. accord
ing to the official and best figures. an
| increase to the railroad workmen over
those OF pre-war times of from so to 100
per cent. in wages. This Is absolutely
the copper riveted fact.
viscount Bryce in his latest and val
liable work declares that public opinion
governs in tho United States. That Is
quite true With respect TO this let
me say that the labor leaders do not
seem to be actuated by wisdom, for
know positively repeat I know II to
be an absolute fact--that the majority
OF railroad union labor men with whom
talk desire and have desired for long
time a return to the individual adjust
mcnts OF their differences with their
Individual roads through their individual
lodges. They complain that under the
national adjustments system. which was
inaugurated during Federal control, the
settlement OF differences was prolonged
tediously. almost outrageously tediously.
The railroad men want their differ
ences settled with their Individual roads
as quickly as possible in the interest OF
all concerned. l know what am talk
ing about In this matter. Then too
know what am talking about IN the
demand Of the rank and file OF the rail-
road labor men for return to piece
work. Their leaders are ightlng that
demand and ineisting on the continu-
ance OF the present system. which is a
dead level system for all men In the
crafts. Take a skilled craftsman. He
wants TO get more money and he can
get more money by doing piecework,
Instead, under the present system, he IL
placed on n dead level with the medi-
ocre workman or lazy workman or In
different workman.
Some OF our labor leaders and some OF
their followers. as say, nre not actu.
ated by common sense. They forget that
the public can strike. Take my owr

Luck.
Three Instances Of Unexpected Good
Fortune.

| To THE NEW YORK HERALD: If 1t is
true that an individuals luck is what he
himself makes II how do you explain
the following incidents which have come
to my personal knowledge?
| Just prior to the four tracking of the
New York and New Haven Railroad a
physician to take his little family to the
country for reasons OF health. and he
bought farm near Mount Vernon for
| $4,000.
After paying $4,000 down the pur-
chaser, concluding he had made mis-
take, made earnest efforts to annul the
deal. even agreeing to forfeit the $4,000.
His offer declined. he was obliged to take
possession. Not many years later one
half OF this farm was sold for $150,0O0,
he still retaining one-half.
Incident No 9: In a certain street in
this city shop was leased by man In
small line OF business. In less than
year the essees of the building adjoin-
ing. wishing 10 enlarge their store. paid
the small shopkeeper $4,000 for his
lease--more than the little shop could
have gathered in during the entire life
of the lease.
Now third example, A couple OF
New York boys wandered out to Arizona
where they chanced upon an apparently
abandoned mine. The property was
owned by Boston men and several hum
dred thousand dollars had been sunk In
Its development with no results. The
boys bought 1t for $4,000. and seven or
eight months later were taking out
$4,000 a month.
Doubtless many Of your readers could
relate incidents OF like nature. Ger
tainly one must incline to the views OF
"Strinus," who believes In an occult in
fiuence in the affairs Of men or some
thing of the kind. +. M. ID.

Not foppish, mind you. or outre.

From stylish hat to perfect shoe.
And take the ladies' hearts by storm
Because l am SO fine to view.

The final performance OF Giordano's
Andrea Chenier" for the present sea-
son took place at the Metropolitan Opera
House last evening. Beniamino Gigli
who had recently been suffering from q
cold. was not sufficiently recovered tc
sing and his place had once more tc
be taken by Giulio Crimi. 1t Is to be
hoped that Mr.. Gigli win not prove tc
be one OF those singers who are unable
to endure the caprices of this climate.
The present spring has been especially
trying to delicate vocal organisms, and
perhaps next year the weather condi-
tions may not be so unfavorable. Mr..
Giglfs substitute last evening was also
in vocal difficulties and sometimes
seemed to be on the verge of disaster.
The cast, except in respect of the
title role, was the same as heretofore.
Nine. Muzio as Madeleine, Miss Dalossy
as Bessi, Nine Howard as the CoaItltess
and Mr. Danise as Gerard, were the
principal singers. But Mr. Bada's de-
lightful sketch of the "incroyable" spy
was again one of the salient irnper-
sonations OF the evening The audience
was one of the largest that have been
seen in the Metropolitan since the sea-
son began.

Gold Imports.
An Apparent Exception to the Usual
Course of Trade.

OOGTSe Oh lTducs
To THE NEW YORK HERALD: i: In re-
cent editorial article on the present influx
of gold you call attention to the curious
fact that this movement did not slim
business depression.
We'll. why didn't 1t do either of these
things? In 1919 when we exported
nearly S3o0, 1000 more gold than we
imported business in general was fairly
good. but when the tide turned In the
middle Of 1920 and we began to import
huge quantities of the metal then busi-
ness started downward. Since January
we have taken about $150,000,000 gold
from abroad. but business has not been
improving.
Is not this situation contrary to all
former precedents? Has 1t not always
been an axiom that any increase Of gold
meant an increase of business prosper
Wy? Has 1t not also been an axiom
hat any decrease in gold meant busi-
ness depression, with occasional panics?
What is the explanation of this para
ioxical situation?
Secretary Hoover has started In to
gather data and figures OF trade and
manufactures In foreign countries so that
our people may know what they have
to compete with. The plan is a good
one. But here Is a problem in the gold
movement and it's effect on business
which is of the highest importance and
deserves all the attention that Mr..
Hoover can give to II. w. II. ALLEN.

Baby Chicks and Ducklings.

Spring days are bringing delight to
the young Of the land who have a
chance to observe the ways of baby
chicks and ducklings. The antics of the
foster mother hen when her brood Of
ducklings take to the water always
bring flow Of questions which fur
nish an opportunity for first lesson
in natural history. Another mystery
Of which explanation Is demanded
is the method the Matching hen EN-
ploys in turning over the eggs en-
trusted to her care. Still another
characteristic that calls for enllght-
cnment is the ducklings use Of water
in washing down its food. which is
mixed with sand to aid the processes
Of digestion, for unlike other fowl the
duck has no glzzard.
There is nothing in the way Of food
in the early stages of their growth
that IS relished by duclllings and
chicks more than Z mixture composed
Of johnny cake-.hat good, old fash
ioned cornIeal product-hard boiled
eggs, pin head oatmeal and stale
bread crumbs. Later the poultry spe-
cialists of the Department of Agri-
culture favor for chicks which have
no free range supply of green feed,
such as lettuce leaves, together with
mash composed Of two parts Of
bran, two parts Of middlings, one part
OF cornmeal and small portion of
sifted meat scrap. Milk, either sweet
or sour, is beneficial and welcome
adjunct to the young chicks food sup
ply. There should always be hoppers
containing grit, oyster shells and
charcoal, and 1T is good thing occa-
sionally to supply thick sod of grass
IL the run is indoors, but the ideal
plan is to get the chicks outside as
soon as the weather permits.
The returns from poultry are not
measured In dollars and cents alone,
nor are they to be gauged by the
pleasures of the table. There are en-
thusiasts who say their eggs and
chickens often cost twice the price
In the open market and who find
themselves repaid through their chill
dren or grandchildren, to whom the
baby chicks are source of keen
amusement and instruction.
