Where General Wood Is Needed
New York, Feb. IS, 1921.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The report that General Wood
has been Disseminated against as "too
military" for the war post and has been
offered a resident governor general
side track" in the Philippines is what
we rather expected-a subterfuge to
escape the menace which Wood consti-
tutes in our malodorous field of pol
itics.
General Wood can best serve his
country by remaining where he can
make his customary good job of close
up study of the conditions and indi-
yidusls who are so anxious to avoid HIS
inspection.
Twenty years ago he exhausted the
Possibilities of development in places
like Cuba, which he invested with law
and order sanitation, illumination and
a magnificent system OF education.
There is but one field in which Wood
can grow-that is politics-and God
knows he is needed there to clean up
the worst mess in our history. Objec-
tion to Wood for Cabinet post has an
evil smell. Washington is the very
place for him. S,V.D.

Back Door Aid to Germany

= A treaty with Germany is treaty
enly in name, as the Allied govern
ments have many times discovered.
They may consider the Versailles
= compact binding on them and may
indulge the hope occasionally that
1t is binding on the Germans. But
from the Teuton point of view it has
no moral sanction, and is enforce
able physically only so far as the
Allies compel its enforcement.
=. = ; The Allied note to Argentina, just
made public, throws curious side
light on the faith attachable to Ger
:. many's signature and on the embar-
,rassments to which long haggling
over German defaults has led. The
note was a circular one, addressed
to all the neutral powers. Argentina
g. was requested to take measures to
prevent the importation of German
war material. The Allied govern
anents believe that Germany is max
ing secret consignments of arms to
Herman firms in neutral countries,
to be sold to nations still at war or
+, to be held until Germany is ready to
',fecall them.
80 Article ITO of the treaty forbids
the importation into Germany or the
expectation from Germany of arms,
munitions and war material of every
kind. The Allied signatories have
the right to apply this article and to
seall Germany to account for viola
items of it. But the German effort
To annul the treaty is so widespread
and so we'll organized that the treaty
commissions are hard put to cope
with it. So the Allies have had to
stretch a point by asking the friend
ly cooperation of neutrals in check
ing illicit exportation of German
.earms.
-@, The Argentine administration has
never been pro-Entente. 1t replied
9 ourtly to the Allied request, explain
ing that it was not properly con-
tcerned in the execution of treaty
agreements among other powers.
- Argentina may be within technical
international usage in declining to
said in the enforcement of Article
40 of the Versailles compact. But
from the broader point of view her
Indifference to Germany's disregard
of treaty obligations betrays too poor
8 memory of Germany's brutal de-
.f1ance of national and international
rights.
'."' The recollection of the "spurlos
yersenkt" cablegram is still fresh in
other capitals, if not in Buenos
. Ayres. Germany was ready to sink
y Argentine merchantmen without
warning, after having made prom

commerce on the high seas. Her
crimes were worldwide in scope.
Now she is trying to escape the pen
=" altles imposed on her by the peace
treaty which she has signed. Neu-
trails are at least morally concerned
p, with its enforcement, for Germany's
i f6le on the sea was that of a pirate.
e. If respect for international rights
and decencies is to be fortified Ger
many must be punished. 1t is short

chronic as it was during the war.

A Bid for Canada
Shall We Take Her, by Her Leave,
in Payment Of England's Debtp


To the Editor of The Tribune
SIR Much is being printed just now
about England hoping TO induce the
United States to remit the $4,000, ,00O,-
coo Of war indebtedness due her from
our allies. A fine thing for them. But
where would we come in? But might
it not be done for a quid pro quo ?
The United States has made in the past
numerous real estate deals with for
eign countries-Alaska with Russia,
the Philippines with Spain, the Canal
Zone with Panama and others. Eng
lands direct share of this $10,O00,-
100000 is about $4,O00,000 900. Eng
land has a bit of real estate to the
north of us separated from US chiefly
by an imaginary line, for which a mu-
tually acceptable deal might be made.
There has been some talk of Canada
seeking her independence. England de-
rives no direct benefit financially from
Canada. Canada is rather more init
mately associated with the United
SsdCcS tidH WIN JHe mOLner country.
Her railroads are extended through
our states and ours through her prov
inces. Her people come to US and ours
go to her both temporarily and perma-
rently Reciprocity between the two
countries has been much discussed in
the past and is certainly much to be
desired by the many travellers con-
stantly crossing the border, where the
annoyance of revenue inspection seems
as absurd as such inspection would be
in passing from one state to another.
Canadians are more at one with US
than with the English. In many ways
they honor US as an elder brother.
They initiate our laws and customs.
They are Americans and would assimi-
late with US.
Now, Issuggest that the sale Of Canada
to us for our $4,00O,O0O,O00 claim
against England would be fair deal
and that, automatically approached, it
would not be unacceptable to Cana
dians and would be entirely gratifying
to US, especially to that large class
that visits Canada for business OF
pleasure. C. /. N.

A Mysterious Mind
(From The Phsiedelphsa rsqxsrer)

From The Phaodetph.o rsq~srer)
If it is true that there is a move
ment on foot in Germany looking to-
ward the repatriation Of the Hohcn-
zollerns then more than ever does it
seem a hopeless task to attempt any
approximation of the German mental
attitude.

The Wiscst Street in the World

Sir: When the play "Three Live
Ghosts opened in New York the New
York papers spoke kindly of the play
and players, with the exception of one
player. Four New York dailes (names
on request) said that Percy ITelton,
who played one of the returned soldiers,
did not look enough like soldier. So
Percy got his notice and lost his Job.
Percy went home and took his dis
charge papers out of the old trunk. Six
months at Upton, thirteen in France,
six Of those thirteen at the front;
mounted scout in the 305th Field Artil-
lery; a horse killed under him on the
Marine; citation for bravery.
He was the only man in the cast who
did not look like soldier, and it just SO
happened he was the only man in the
cast who was.
But you can't fool Broadway.

By
Heywood Broun

Rutzebeck, the reader is impressed By
the fact that simple direct narration
without ornament of style or comment
may be one of the most interesting
things in the world. Then through the
last one hundred and twenty-five pages
he is apt to be struck by the fact that
by and by simple direct narration with
out frills or graces may become one of
the most tiresome things in the world.
Here, for instance, is a vivid snatch
from an early chapter of the book in
which the author sets down in his diary
his experiences when he attempted to
ride the rods on an electric car line:
Il got in under the last car. There
were some rods that were quite COM
Portable to lie on, and I thought that
was fixed for nights ride. The cars
started and l got the surprise of nv
life. AS soon as they got up speed

thick as my head, and 1 can hardly

my body and feel as if had gone

When G. X. Chesterton began the
attack on The Outline of History we
worried for Wells but little. Now it
seems to be all up with him, for Alfred
McCann has joined the onslaught with
as much vigor as if Mr.. Wells were
still another sort Of white -four.
lne most prldeful apologetlc line in
all the language Is that of the young
man who remarks "Of course, I'm no
saint"
"To talk of the Jews always as the
oppressed and never as the oppressors
is simply absurd" writes Chesterton in
The New Jerusalem. Yes, it would be
absurd if anybody did it.

In G. B. Stern's "Debatable Ground"
occur several passages beautifully ca
denced, such as we haven't seen since
some of the Sapphics in "Once Aboard
the Lugger"-- and other Hutchinson
books. Speaking of which, Daisy Bell
exhumes the\ following from Haw-
thorne's "The Birthmark":
The momentary circumstance was too
strong for him:
He failed to look beyond the shadowy
scope of time,

CHAPTER III

Dan Failing was really not badly
hurt. The quick, lashing blows had
not done more than severely brulse
the flesh of his face; and the mists Of
unconsciousness that had been falling
over him were more nearly the result
Of his own tremendous physical e1-
srtion. Now these mists were rising.
