Bread Lines and Victory Medals

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The victory medals seem K
have caused considerable confusion il
the minds of some people However
they were intended, there appears tx
be no question that they are regarded
with indifference by many of those
entitled t. receive them. This is due
in part to the method of distribution
In this connection wish to reply te
Mr.. H. r. Holbrook, whose letter an.
pears In The Tribune of January 20
He takes exception to some remarks
OF mine. On January Is you printed 6
letter in which I attempted to convey
the idea that there are veterans OF
the World War to whom the victory
medal means nothing, and that in con.
sequence Of their indifference these
same veterans would not care to stand
in bread lines waiting for the medals
These who are eligible to receive them
are numbered by the million. One
can picture for himself what would
happen If these people were in any
hurry to get the medals.
Mr.. Holbrook implied that I am un-
able to distinguish between truth and
fiction. In support of that view. he
mentioned a certain occasion when II
took an hour and quarter to dis
tribute seventy-five medals. Presuma-
bly, that proves whatever it was in
tended to prove. admit that, but
what OF it? II those seventy-fve men
came struggling in during the entire
hour and quarter, it is conceivable
that nobody would have to wait in line.
If that were the case, it would ind;
cate that there was no mad stampede
to get the medals. On the other hand
If many men arrived together some
must nave had to wait am quite
willing to leave it to Mr.. Holbrook to
decide whether they did so in a tri-
umphal procession, funeral march, a
bread line or otherwise. In either
event, there is nothing to conflict with
what l wrote.
Mr.. Holbrook has made a statement
for which there is no justification. If
the truth is of any consequence to him
he will read again the letter to which
he objects. If he will do SO with a
good understanding Of the English
language and logical mind he will
be forced to admit that neither stated
nor implied anything which does not
fit the facts. If he has a sense OF
humor he may even decide that the
Joke is on himself

The New Tariff

In his address before the South
ern Tariff Congress, at Atlanta, Cal
vim Coolidge, with his usual felicity,
directed his hearers attention to
historic fact, too often overlooked.
1t is that tariff protection, instead
of beginning as local or party idea,
was first national and was one of
the prime influences in bringing the
states together, and that as men of
Southern birth were the foremost
advocates of nationalism so they
were the original protectionists.
In the critical period following
the Yorktown victory it was demon
strated that political independence
was of doubtful value unless supple
mented by economic independence,
and that economic independence was
impossible unless there was one CEN
trail authority to stimulate inner de-
velopment of industry. So the en-
couragen1ent Of domestic manufac-
lures was the first business of the
first Congress. Not until the slavery
issue weakened nationalism did pro-
tectionism become partisan or Sec
tional, and men of the South return
to their ancient faith when they
champion it now.
The war, though it has altered
many conditions, has not changed
essentials. 1t is still necessary to
guard our life. Owe subscribe" says
Mr.. Coolidge, "to the creed of world.
brotherhood, but we recognize that
we can serve the world best by serv-
ing America first. We cannot raise
a bankrupt world to solvency if we
permit America to become bank
rupt." And, again: "The problem
with which we are confronted is to
prevent industrial isolation on the
one hand and industrial submer-
gence on the other"
There is little danger of the for
nler in view of the fact that Ameri
can imports are now four times
larger than before the war and in
view of the further fact that the out
side world owes us $4,000, 900 900,
interest on which will constitute q
draft for goods.
The danger is rather Of industrial
submergence. The particular tariff
problem Of the hour is how to avert
tand at the same time even balances.
The best present answer to the
paradox of keeping :yoods out and
getting interest IN is chat Americans
must habituate themselves to the
idea of reinvesting income accruing
abroad. Great Britain long did this,
yearly increasing her investments
beyond her borders, and thus found
herself possessed of enormous over
sea resources when strain came on
her. In similar way this country
will doubtless add to it's capital
abroad, and not always insist on
actual shipments of either goods or
gold. The reinvesting may be
counted on to become as natural and
unnoticed as other investings.
those now afflicted with great
dread Of flood Of foreign goods will
doubtless discover that new set of
conditions will furnish a sufficient
deterrent, and hence remove the
need OF mutually harmful EMBARGO
barriers.

Ever since, trees planted from the
seed Of the Norwich orchard have re.

The second game went to Kemper
after a gguelling battle. Although
there were several things that con-
tributed to the defeat, perhaps Went
worth's inability to throw free throws
was the chief cause. X. M. S. fouled
fifteen times, and w. M. A. made
only two of these fifteen chances.
But in justice to Kemper it must be
said that they displayed a much bet
ter brand of basket ball than they did
on the previous night. Their guard
ing was much closer and they fought
unusually well.
Kemper started off in the lead, an
nexing three points before Wentworth
began. And it soon became apparent
that it would not be a walkaway for
either side. The visiting guards
slashed into Wentworth's plays and
broke many Of them up. On the other
hand Rice of Kemper got away from
Hand and started the ball towards
the baskets and several times count
ed. Both teams fought with little
regard to system. When the shot
ended the first half X. M. S. was lead
ing 8 to 6.
At the beginning of the second half
w. M. A.. started a drive that electri-
fled the crowd and they sprang into
the lead IA to 10. Kemper began to
foul consistently and Cleland and
Peddycord were both removed on
personals. But ". M. A. could not
make these fouls count. Walter
Hand, and Bradfeld all appeared ner-
vous and the free throws went wild.
Kemper took courage and hooped a
long shot from the free throw ring,
Two minutes to go and they forged
ahead two points. From then on they
stalled for time and when the game
closed they had won 16 to IA.
Walter was again Wentworth's
chief scorer, making five baskets
But the team did not show up at It's
best. Something was wrong. w. M,
A. knows and believes that their quin-
tet can and will play better basket
ball.
Rice played best for Kemper. He
was the king-pin in their game. The
whole team showed great improve
ment and put up a very scrappy ex-
hibition.
