have discussed the conference with Mr..

that it cannot without disaster fail to

Our German Ambassador.

We shall need an Ambassador in
Germany who has eyes that see and
b brain that can understand that
country and a tongue that can speak
its language. Germany is setting a
pace industrially and in general
activity that has no counterpart in
the world to-day.
Her recovery from chaotic after
war conditions, the output of her
industries and the measure Of world
trade she has already regained have
no parallel.
The reason for these achieve
ments rests with her people. They
are workers. They know that

sal indemnity and reestablishes it.

among the nations of the world,
work alone can accomplish it; in

obstacles.
To this field of regeneration and
vast outreach for Industrial world
supremacy America would better
send no Ambassador at all than TO
send man incapable of understand
ing her economic strides and her
vibrant business activity in every
phase of her reawakened life.
Our Ambassador to Berlin should
be man OF sound business instincts
with the vision of the statesman and
the sensitiveness of temperament to
interpret all about him.
To send a college professor, a liter
ary man or a professional political
incubus to Germany at this time
would be wholly without excuse.
THE New YORK HERALD makes
these observations with a keen appre-
citation of the Importance Of the Ber-
lin post and without any knowledge
of the intentions of the President
concerning this post. Indeed, con-
sidered in respect of its opportu-
mites for service to America, It is a
question IL our Embassy in Berlin
will not be the most important OF all
our embassies.
\ Germany's rejuvenation, Germany's
looming position in world Industries
and in world trade, Germany's prog
ress in scientific knowledge and
development, Germany's genius for
organization and Germany's relation
with Russia-with all that this may
mean-make Berlin q prominently

Morocco, Land of Dreams.
Spain's Plan of Conquest Wrong
From Pierre Lofts Viewpoint.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Why
should Spain want to conquer Morocco?
What could she do with the country if
she conquered it? Who wants to live.
settle there. under the burning sun?
AS to treasure, there Is very little In
the country, hardly enough to pay for
the impending military expedition.
However this may be. 1t may be
asked: Has not Morocco the right to be
let alone? Is she not sufficiently indi-
vidualistic. sufficiently distinct, to be
entitled to self-determination, as we
say nowadays? Certainly that great
Frenchman and traveller Pierre Lott
thought so. Listen to the words In
which he concludes his brilliant work
"Au Moroo":
20 sombre Moghrcb, rest long. long
time, still immured, impenetrable to
new things; turn determinedly thy back
to Europe and realize thyself In the
things of the past; sleep a long. long
time. and continue thy old dream, in
order that at least there may be one last
country where men say their prayers"

In addition to these large weekly
wages each employee received free
bread and rolls for himself and his
family, an extra expense to the en-
ployer, according to his estimate, Of
from SIS to $40 week.
The baker had all the help he
needed and payroll which he re-
garded as very high. Along came
the walking delegate Of the union
and ordered ScHLEsINGER to put on
an extra baker at $40 week. The
proprietor refused; it would have
wiped out all his profit. he said. A
strike was called against him and
his men walked out on a Saturday,
the big baking night Of the East
Side, leaving ScHLEsINGER to lose
$500 on his week end business.
BY replacing the strikers with his
wife and children the baker was able
to supply his customers and to cut
the price of bread cents a loaf.
Then, he declares, the union picketed
his place and insulted his customers.
Nothing was left for ScHLEsINGER
but to apply for an injunction against
the picketing and sue the union for
the money he had lost.
When a union insists not only upon
the old inflated wage but upon sad
ding an expense Of $40 week on a
business which cannot stand it, is
there any wonder that some retail
prices are not coming down the way
they should?
And is there any wonder over the
admission made by SAMUEL GoMPERs
on Sundaysthat the membership OF
his Federation had recently fallen off
about 100000?
