The Shah of Persia has an armchair

But the Rhode Island brook fisher
man sitting squat and cramped on a
projecting rock or overhanging bough,
these April days, would not exchange
seats with him.
Nor would the motorist, making his

Nor the father of any comfortably
clrcumstanced American family, at ease
at his breakfast table with cheerful
group of healthy youngsters about him

"After that" says The World. in it's
review of June Love-" Everybody
seemed abo to restrain himself, even
when one young woman sang love song
rhyming virtue with hurt you,' the
accent being on the 'chu.'" For one
thing, the accent was not on the "chu";
for another, If The Worlds critic will
point out what is wrong with the
rhyme, we'll print his exposition, and

Most Of the lyrics sung in musical
comedies are beneath critical con-
tempt; but most musical comedy re-
viewers haven't the prosodic knowledge
to dfferentiate between a good and a
bad lyric.

find no fault with the rhyme in that

Which Is Right?

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A discussion came up and
would deem it great favor if you
would settle it by defining a yellow
streak.
Has a man necessarily yellow
streak who is physical coward?
A maintains he has. B maintains
that the physical element does not en-
ter into the case, but only the moral
meaning an unprincipled fellow, one
that does not play fair.
Which is right?

Rewriting the Treaty

HeIHdny HHeO purpose since the
signing of the Versailles Treaty has
been to revise it downward. Every
move made in Berlin has looked to
that end. During 1920 lack of CO.
operation among the Allies was
cleverly taken advantage of to scale
down German obligations. The war
criminals were not surrendered. The
military forces were not reduced ac-
cording to treaty stipulation. Coal
deliveries were skimped and material
concessions on the allotments to the
Allies were obtained by German
bluffing at Spa. At London a couple
OF months ago Minister Simons in
sultingly waved aside the compro-
mise reparation total agreed upon by
the Allies. More recently the Ger
man government rejected the de-
mands of the Reparation Commis-
sion for payment of balances due on
May l. Now in the latest communi-
citation to Washington it suggests the
appointment of "an unbiased COM
mission to fix the total sum of her
(Germany's) war obligations"
German effrontery has increased
with every sign of yielding on the
part of her creditors. She lost the
war and by treaty accepted the con-
sequences of defeat. These were
fixed by the victors, as they should
have been. But Germany wants now
to cancel her pledges. She wants to
transform her status as beaten ma
ton which asked for an armistice
and signed terms amounting to un-
conditional surrender. She dreams
of posing as debtor discussing his
obligations on equal terms with his
creditors, disputing their claims and
calling in an outsider as arbitrator.
She will not accept the penalties of
defeat, even though her territory lies
open to Allied occupation.
There is touch of unreality and
colossal impudence in this which is
typically German. The latest terms
from Berlin disclose an absolute
contempt for the treaty which Ebert,
Fehrenbach, Simons and SHINES
have been trying to shoot to pieces.
They make an offer of 100000, ,OO0,-
900 gold marks as reparation
total; but they attach the condition
that Germany's other reparations
and obligations under the treaty
shall be annulled and all sequestered
German private property in foreign
countries shall be released. Why
don't they ask for the return of the
German colonies?
If the treaty is to be scrapped and
Germany is to draw up her own bill
what assurance would the Allies
have that she wouldn't revise it
again at the first convenient oppor-
tunity? She is ambitious to be comp
troller, auditor and paymaster, as
we'll as confessed debtor, and to be
freed of all restraints on her politi-
cal action and her trade and produc-
tion. And she still hopes to foment
sufficient difference of opinion among
the Allied powers to enable her to
maneuver them into deadlock and
surrender.
The new offer is only the London
offer in another guise. 1t is a
bungling attempt to wreck the treaty
and make Germany the real arbiter
in new settlement.

the supreme qualities of Conrad, whom
