Ireland's silesia

The Ulster question, at first one
of eight counties, sank to one Of six
counties. Now the question relates
to only two counties--Tyrone and
Fremanagh.
In these two counties, if Lloyd
George has his way, a plebiscite will
be held, with the resident population
declaring what districts prefer to
adhere to the Belfast government
and what to the Dublin government
If established. 1t is to be taken for
granted that the British Prime Min
lister would not deem it worth while
to publish this proposal if he did not
have satisfactory assurances from
the South Ireland leaders that they
are willing to abide by the plebiscite !;
that to the other four Ulster coun-
ties they concede~ the right to be
separated.
listers case has been based on
the principle Of self~determination,
and Sim Feiners who demanded
self determination for themselves
could make little headway when de-
nying it to others. Now, it is not
easy to>see how theyUlster majority
will be able to command support If

Premier Hara

Premier Hara of Japan, assassi-
mated yesterday, was the first COM
moner to head a Cabinet in his coun-
try. He had been long in public life,
as newspaper editor, as a func-
tionary in the Foreign Office and
later as party leader and minister.
Hara was personally, however,
more of liberal than either of them
was, and his own ministry, dating
from 1918, has been regarded as
marking reaction from the brusoue
imperialism which served the twen-
ty-one demands on China and
brought about the Chinese boycott. 1t
would be more accurate, perhaps, to
describe Hara as a moderate. He
saw that Japan must make conces-
sions to the demand for more de-
mocracy within which grew out of
the war and its social and economic
ferments, and also must soften the
distrust abroad which Japan's ag-
gressiveness in Asia had aroused.
But he wanted to make political
progress at home slowly and eau
tiously, and in foreign relations his
government has been obliged to
maintain firm front against alien
criticism, which Japanese of all
classes are prompt to resent. He
could not, of course, retain Office un-
less he remained acceptable to the
small inner circle of statesmen who
are still the masters of Japan.
Premiers change, but this inner
circle doesn't change. To many
friendly observers of Japanese life
and politics the Far Eastern ques
ton is in it's essence a domestic
Japanese question. They see it's
solution only in the gradual democ-
ratization of the japanese people,
who, in their view, have more to gain

Mastery Economy

President Harding's accomplish
ments in the way of reducing gov
ernment expenditure are beginning
to take a shape in which the figures
speak for themselves. Critics of the
Administration have been saying
that much Of the reduction for which
credit has been given to Congress
was a reduction on paper only
meaning that cuts in the appropria-
tion bills would be Offset later by
deficiency allowances. They would
have had to be Offset this year to a
considerable extent, undoubtedly, but
for the Presidents determination to
restrain the spenders.
The estimates for 1921-'22 were
prepared by the Wilson Administra-
ton. There was no budget law in
effect then, and spendthrifts like Mr..
Baker and Mr.. Daniels still had a
free hand. Secretary Houston asked
Congress for appropriations totaling
$5,259,00o,000 Congress granted
much less, the appropriations made
amounting to little more than
$4,000, 100000.
But many hold-over obligations
had to be assumed by the Treasury
along with a few new obligations
notably a charge Of $120,0oO, 900 for
the better care Of the disabled vet
erans. Secretary Mellon reported on
August last that the expenditures
for 1921-'22 would run as high as
$4,554,ooo,0oo.
At this point Mr.. Harding and
General Dawes stepped in. They
told the department and bureau
chiefs that operating costs must be
scaled down. On August 10 it was
announced that the government
would find way to save $3.50, ,00O,-
GOO, bringing the outlay for the year
down to $4,O34,ooo,oo0. Sending in
the deficiency estimates for 1912
last Thursday the President an
nounced that a further saving of
$94, 100000 would be made, reducing
the l921-'22 total to $3,940,000, 900.
Since Congress appropriated $780,
100000 and is now asked to grant
deficiencies Of $1s7,ooo,00O, expendi-
ture for the year will be within the
appropriations.
This is an extraordinary record in
retrenchment. For 1922 the gov
ernment will spend $1,319,000 900
less than Secretary Houston thought
1t would be possible for it to get
along on.

Divided and Beaten

The vote in the Senate against the
Snloot amendment to the tax revi-
sion bill, an amendment which pro-
vided for ] per cent levy on the
sales of manufacturers, ends sales
tax discussion for the present. But
the sales tax idea is not killed. 1t
has made remarkable progress. Sen
ator Smoot is not far wrong when
he estimates that three-fourths of
the country now favors the sales tax
principle, whereas year ago few
had knowledge of it.
That which brought about the de-
feat of the Smoot amendment was
the inability of sales tax advocates
to agree on the form OF the sales
tax. 1t suffered from the same
weakness that so long prevented the
creation Of an elastic currency sys-
TEN, though the desirability Of cur
rency elasticity was conceded.
Three differing forms have divided
the allegiance of sales tax advocates.
Many insisted on general turn
over tax on the French model, with
every sale subject to levy. This was
attacked as favoring large business
concerns, which through many proc
esses convert raw materials into
salable products, ana as disfavoring
single-process converters. Moreover,
it was said the turnover tax opened
the way to pyramiding taxes. Others
said the tax should be merely on re-
tail sales and be but once imposed.
But what is. a retail sale? The third
form was along the lines of the
Canadian inlpast on manufactured
output, with the tax concealed in the
price. The last form was the one
selected by Senator Smoot to push.
When next they approach Con-
gress sales takers should be together
in behalf of single proposal. Then
this proposal is likely to be adopted.

A Word for Fox Hills
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: We have read most of the
criticisms of Fox Hills, and in Justice
to DR.. Cobb and his staff wish to give
our favorable testimony after nine
months of weekly observation.
we have noted a steady improveme mt
in the buildings, grounds and general
atmosphere of the hospital at Fox
Hills. The food is of the best; that is
the opinion of the patients of the sew
eral wards in which it is our. privilege
to work. We have been in at odd times,
and can testify that patients receive
good treatment; indeed, the men in our
wards say so themselves.
Fox Hills, as we understand it. is 3
government institution, and cannot be
discarded by DR.. Cobb and his staff at
their pleasure. 1t is the hope of all
of us that our government will supply
an up-to-date and we'll equipped
modern hospital; in the mean time it
would be we'll to discontinue destruc-
tive criticism and recognize the efforts
OF the administration at Fox Hills in
making fairly good hospital out of
the material at hand.

A Span, Not a Tandem

The teasing question of whether
the Far Eastern problem should
take precedence over armament
limitation has strange fascination
for some mnds--a fascination
cqualing that excited by the ques-
tion of which hen is the true mother
of a chicken.
The two matters being intcrde-
pendent, consideration of one with
out consideration of the other Is nee
essary. The two are a span, not a
tandem. And while it is true that
the removal of causes of interna-
tional misunderstanding is essential
to the lessening Of armaments yet
there is nothing to prevent the con-
ference from considering the two
classes of problems in whatever or
der is the more expedient
The Japanese apprehensions that,
unless armament limitation is dis
cussed before the Far Eastern prob
lens, the conference may strike a
snag are surely uncalled for. That
the japanese express this view is
not in itself surprising. But public
sentiment in America does not
share Japanese misgivings. Political
conditions determine the size of
armaments, and ornaments, in
turn, depend upon policy.
In the end the conference itself
will adopt its own agenda. America
and Japan are both free to suggest
any order they please. But it will
be difficult for the conference to
escape the familiar method of con-
sidering various questions practical
ly contemporaneously. The tandem
fashion has advantages in looks, but
in practice a span pulls more
strongly.
New-York tribune., 1921-11-05
His Word

1t seems but yesterday, and yet it
is just year ago this month, that
the Hearst Tanmany manikin, who
is begging the people of this great
city to return him as Mayor on Tues
day next, was caught with the goods
in the building scandal from which
John Hettrick emerged in suit of
convict's stripes.
1t is not intended to enter here
upon discussion of all the circum-
stances Of the association Of Hylan
and Hettrick which led the manikin
to direct the resembling of $15,000,-
600 worth Of terra Gotta school con-
tracts, so that contracts for 16,00O,-
600 worth Of limestone could be sub
stituted. 1t is sufficient to recall
that Hettrick at the time represent
ed the Brindell building ring and
the limestone interests. Now let us
turn to che record of the Lockwood
Committee and measure the worth
of Hylan's word in the light of the
fact that he had known Hettrick for
twenty years and. that Hettrick, as
late as September ID, 1918, had Of
fered the Hearst manikin the polit-
ical support Of the building trades
unions if he would sign a limestone
contract Of $2,372,ooo for the court
house, which has yet to be built.
Thus stands the Mayors testimony
as adduced by Mr.. Samuel Inter
myer:
"When did you meet Hettrick ?"
II have never met him. Some one
who might have been Hettrick came
to my Office on February 9. 1919,
and talked to me about terra Gotta
and labor matters"
you never heard of Hettrick
prior to February 8, 1912"
II don't remember having heard
of him until after that letter dated
September IA, 1920"
That was the resembling" letter
written by Hettrick for the Mayor,
signed by the manikin on the dotted
line and sent by him to the members
of the Board of Education.
"You took the statement of man
(Hettrick) whose name you don't
know and you wrote it over your
own name and sent it to the Board
of Education and they acted on it
and changed from terra Gotta to
linz estone?"
81 don't know that they acted
on it."
"You mean you cannot tell US to-
day whether they changed?"
~ don't know whether it was
changed or not"

endeavor to wiring from him the

Cooling OF

The two new planks of the Hylan
platform are dearer milk and free
riot privileges against any one pre-
suning to buy milk at present prices.
But they are not making hit.
The public's conduct shows it has
increasing comprehension Of what
the strike of the milk wagon drivers
is about; that it does not care for
higher prices-thinks prices are
high enough and that consumers
may not fairly be asked to guarantee
to the drivers minimum of $46.25
q week, plus commission on all
sales.
AS to the free riot part of the
Mayors program. and non-interfer-
ence with the stoning of those who
dare to visit milk stations, the rank
and file Of the police failed to under
stand what was expected. They have
persisted in giving police protection,
especially when they found them
selves attacked.
So there is a notable cooling Of
the allegiance Of His Honor to his
new principles. He is not so sure
that he will make net gain by
serving violent minority to the in
jury of the great majority.
The public is weary Of selfish minor
ity rule. 1t is not in mood to have
it's health attacked, its comfort de-
stroyed and it's pockets rified to ad-
vance the political fortunes Of the
Mayor.

the privilege of saying in whose

difference of opinion as to what the
two counties prefer. The truth cam

Another long step toward all Irish

be made to provide fo,s the enforce.
ment of this section.
Amendment No. 2 increases the
salaries of members of the Legislature
from $500 to $4,000.
Amendment No. 3 establishes a

that after January /, 1922, "no person

tanning majority, by naturalization or
otherwise unless such person is also
able, except for physical disability, to

and dependent minors, and for the
punishment of adults responsible in

At present the children's courts are
not permitted to appoint guardians

Ambassador Harvey's Latest

Ambassador Harvey, not dlscour-
aged by the Administrators indi-
rect Reputation of his speech of six
months ago, again takes himself out
Of the company Of the tongue-tied.
In burst of declamatory candor ho
announces not only what the foreign
policy Of this country is but what it
is to be.
1t is his sad business, he says with
great melancholy, to be an illusion
dispeller. But fate has assigned
the role to him. Prominent English
men and Frenchmen having VEN
tured to suggest that a closer
union of France and Great Britain
would be in the interest of peace,
and to say that perhaps the United
States may eventually join the COM
bination, Mr.. Harvey solemnly lee
lures those who entertain this hope.
At a London dinner, hurling. quota
tions from the Farewell Address at
his hearers, he rebuked their pre-.
sumption.
1t is not of great consequence what
Mr.. Harvey thinks or says on the
topic he discussed. Not long ago he
did not construe the words of Wash
ington as he now construes them.
He saw great merit in cooperation
with the nations whose ideas are
largely the same as our own. Having
changed his mind once, he may
change it again.
But it is Of consequence to have
knowledge of who, if anybody, au-
thorized the ambassador to define
and declare the attitude Of America.
President Harding and Secretary
Hughes may be acquitted of confer
ring authority on him. The throwing
of such a large monkey wrench into
the machinery Of the Washington
conference is not suggestive OF their
methods. Even though they wished
to cool British and French enthusi-
asm for an alliance, such Hotspur
Of discourse as Mr.. Harvey would
hardly be chosen to make the COM
munication. The speech Of the am
bassador may be regarded as an en-
terprise of his own.
Between the word "alliance" and
the word association" lexicogra-
piers find large area Of difference.
But statesmen do not. The mild
term "entente" was as strong link
as the most detailed pledges. Indeed,
an indefinite and reserved commit
ment is ordinarily more durable
than one that is explicit. Permanent
alliances by this country? OF course
not. A general understanding? To
great extent it already exists.
