One destroyer has been designated

and attack, opening fre at a range
of not less than 5000 yards. An al

La Prensa Editorial Tells
President.

La Prensa Of San Antonio, Tex,
one of the leading Mexican news
papers of the United States, has
opened an attack upon General
Obregon's policy of retaining the
Constitution of 1917, which con-
tains the obnoxious Article 27, and
predicts that unless the Mexican
executive discards it entirely some
one will arise in his place who will.
Copies of an editorial printed in
La Prensa received here today have
been brought to the attention of
State Department officials.
FREE TO EXPRESS BELIEFS.
Being located outside the borders
of Mexico, La Prensa is able to
give free expression to it's opinions.
and as 1t has a considerable circu-
lation on the Mexican side of the
boundary. It is believed to exert a
great deal of influence.

While the public opinion of Mex
leo was clamoring against the con-
stitution, the editorial says, the gov

the resultant humiliation of being
placed in a position where IL must

In the Name of Sport
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune,
Sir: / wish to express my hearty
approval of Ding's cartoon in The
Tribune of Sunday. The shooting of
defenseless animals in the name
of sport seems like the veriest
of ironies. Excuse is often made
that they are shot for food. but
who is fooled by such an argument :?
We know the hunters kill all they can.
and the cost of shooting ones food
in that way far outweighs what the
necessary food supplies could be
bought for in the butcher shop.
To see these long strings Of ducks,
their beautiful feathers and poor
little bodies all limp, carried along in
triumph by men with guns and shoot
ing suits. accoutered as warriors.
makes one wonder if some giant, pro-
portionately larger and better equipped
than they, as they are to the ducks.
came along and put them on q string.
il it would not be another story.
Where would the sport be then?

ing for socfalistic success there
rather than the contrary.
The great majority Of Russians
can get along after fashion under
socialistic regime. 1t is urban
populations which are most hit by
it, as the depopulated cities Of
Russia attest. When there is
division Of labor, and the comfort
of one man depends on what is done
by another man a thousand miles
distant, arbitrary rules touching
production and attempts to order
all things through bureaucratic de-
crees seem certain to destroy the
organization which is indispensable
in complicated social organ
ism. Should this country try Boil
shevism, the wreck, translating itself
into personal starvation, would come
more quickly than it has come in
Russia.
The historical development argu-
ment is one that intelligent Social
lists are likely to be less and less
inclined to emphasize. 1t is part
Of the Marx formula for which the
least can be said. Except in the
public ownership Of special things
and in voluntary cooperation his
tory is against rather than with the
Socialist theorists.
New-York tribune., 1921-11-09
The Proletariat's Enemv

The local Socialist organ, "The
Call" which recently acknowledged
that it was impossible longer to de-
fend Bolshevism and the Bolsheviki,
apparently has heard from the Com
munists and the Communist So
cialists among it's readers.
1t recants it's confession, or at
least modifies it. 1t says what it
meant was that the development of
capitalist production to a fairly
high degree is essential before So
cialism is possible in any country;
chat Russia did not have such ante
cedent development, and hence the
Russian revolution was premature,
as it were-failed not through
fault of its principle. but because
Russia had not gone through an
indispensable phase of social evolu-
ton. This implies that Socialism
would succeed in this country or
Great Britain, France or Germany.
This, of course, cannot be dis
proved, for it relates to prophecy,
and a prophet cannot be refuted
until events put his prediction to
test. Doctrinaires, whether they
deal in religious or economic dogma,
are agile Of mind and quick to point
out that if some condition had been
other than it was their contention
would have been validated. This is
a trick steadily used since man be-
gan to argue.
But what has been the general
trend of historical development?
Speaking generally, primitive times
were socialistic in their wealth
creation. Savage tribes to-day, in
which. you see practices Of the past,
are commonly socialistic. Private
ownership of land--land being for
centuries the chief form of wealth.
came late. The Russian mir or vii
lage community, with common own
ership and assigned possession, still
exists. The very backwardness of
Russia was . factor probably max

"a Parade of Protest"

There is going to be another parade
In Fifth Avenue. 1t is described by
the ladies who are responsible for it
as "a parade Of protest" These
ladies, members Of the Women's
Peace Society and the Women's
Peace Union, are alarmed by the
gathering of the Allied war chief
tains for the Washington conference.
And they exclaim:
What chance on earth will the par
ley have to effect disarmament when
the masters of the art Of war hold the
leading strings? We are for COM
plete universal disarmament, and mean
to put it's cause forward by this pa
rade. We estimate that it will hs
larger than any suffrage parade that

it be repeated again that the Wash

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Tho action of the American
Legion convention in demanding = sol-
diers' bonus appears to me to be enc
Of the most dangerous and un-Ameri-
can moves which have been made for
long time.
The bulk Of our army was made up
Of drafted men. The minority Of our
soldiers and sailors who entered the
army and navy voluntarily have so
small vote in the Legion that their
stand on the bonus cannot be deter
mined. But I cannot easily believe
that men who went into either branch
Of the service Of their own volition
would demand a bonus now for ths
privilege of fighting or otherwise serv-
ing in their country's uniform during
so great struggle for democracy q

Americans who went TO war because IL

Had their service in the army or

there might possibly be some justif-
