No Remission of War Debt.

To the Editor. Tie washinEtou HeraIi:
The proposal to remit the 10000
5000 war debt due to the United
States is essentially to say 70 our
people that they must pay 10000
0o0, 900 additional TO our protected
manufacturers for goods needed by
our consumers. who number ten 10
one of our protected manufactur-
ers. and that they (the consumersD
shall not be permitted to buy Euro
pean goods at cheaper prices than
our protected plutocrats will sell
them.
Europeans can pay only in goods
The proper course to pursue is to
throw open the gates of the Chinese
wall of protection to such an ex-
tent as will permit our debtors 70
sell to our people, and permit our
people to get the benefit Of their
cheaper prices, thus accompanying
the double benefit of cheap goods
for consumers and the payment OF
the $4,000, zoo, 900 Of indebtedness, a
certain percentage OF the amount of
goods thus bought should apply on
the debts to our government Kill

Regrets Delay of Bonus.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
l have no desire to go on record
as a chronic Crouch" but the
trend of affairs, as recorded in the
papers. has forced me over the
traces. During the stirring days of
the world war America went wild
when her stalwart sons sprang to
the colors at the call to arms
against a foreign foe. Farewell
feasts were prepared to give the
boys n jo~ous send-off, promising
to them that upon their return
that the lucrative positions sacri-
feed by them should be restored,
and in many cases. with an advance.
That was the joy of 1t. Now for
the sadness Of it.
Many thousands failed to return.
They drenched the soil Of France
with their blood. Now for those
who came back. Their condition:
Some no arms, no legs; some one
arm. one leg: some blind, others
their bodies perforated with bull
lets: shell shocked and manned in
every conceivable manner. Where
are lutN NOW some IN nOSplIalSs
some in asylums; some in poor
houses, and not a few in prisons
Many have committed suicide to
escape death from privation and
miseries attendant upon injuries
received in service abroad.
Not one in a hundred had his
former position restored to him
upon his return. according to
promise in patriotic spirit in times
now gone.
Upon his return the triumphant
soldier was promised cash
bonus" to tide him over a brief time.
during which to secure a means for
his future existence. In some I'M
accountable manner that fervent
ardor seemed to have been stricken
with a sudden dampness and hung
fire. Practically all the men re-
turning from overseas were in
Strengthened circumstances. They
hoped and waited for the bonus"
that never came.
Our heroes disappointed at home
have accepted service with a for

well as salary, too; think IL bettcl

woods where he has still.
Moreover, if the Fourth amendment covers all
that its now ardent supporters claim, no law Is
necessary repeal it. The courts are fully qual-
fed to define and apply it. Congress does not need
to do 1t is not such constitutional provision
as requires statute to make il fully effective,
Also. no law of Congress State can override it,
lessen its nclusiveness take away any part Of the
protection it gives. The Volstead law cannot do
this nor any amendment to it. The proposed
amendment to the so-caled beer bill does not need
a provision confirming this any other constitl-
tional amendment. The Stanley amendment is not
aimed to reaffirm what needs no reaffirmation but
to amplify and extend the Fourth amendment I'M
reasonably. .-
This whole agitation to the sacredness of this
amendment is simply proiquor, probootegging,
antiprohbition. Under whatever cloak it comes,
it is meant to nullify the Voistead act, to make
bootlegging safe and prohibition sufficiently un-
popular, because of this, make easier its repeal
She only possible question as to the Fourth amend
-nent beyond the definition of the word "unreason-
able" is whether not it be used an agency
for law violation and criminal immunity, and
whether not the Eighteenth, to its enforcement
cannot override the Fourth. We do not believe it
will be so held But that, too, is for the
courts to say.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
read your leading editorial en-
titled The Fourth Amendment" in
The Herald of this date
AS you have absolutely misstated
the law governing searches and
seizures in this editorial, and as
many people accep- statements in
the newspaper. especially editorial
statements, as being undoubted
facts, and as ! do not believe that
The Herald intends to misstate or
misrepresent the matter 1t deals
with in the editorial, wish to call
your attention to the case of Gouled
VS.. United States, decided on Feb
ruary 26. 1921, which was not a
liquor case, in which no bootlegging
was involved, but in which the mat
ter of definition of what is meant
by reasonable and wfat by an I'M
reasonable search is very plainly
and fully set out. The Supreme
C."rt ses the following Language
speaking of the Fourth amend
ment:
Searches and seizures are as
constitutional under the amendment
when made under valid search war
rants as they are unconstitutional
because unreasonable when ma lie
without them"
1t is absolutely beyond contro-
versy that a search of a mans home
or his office made without a search
warrant is unreasonable, and your
statement in the editorial that the

pare this with the proposed treaty of Berlin

referred the reparations provisions accepted
Another referred to the property rights of American
citizens and is covered by the Knox resolution,
made a part OF the treaty. A third excepted part
Is. referring to labor, and this entire part is
rejected. The fourth referred to Shantung and
this provision is included in a part of the treaty
which also is entirely eliminated.

or any reservation except as to the league of ma

frmed by the German government.
As it will go to the Senate the treaty
eliminates the covenant of the league of nations,
and amy provisions OF that (Versaillcs) treaty, in
Guiding those mentioned in paragraph I OF this
article which relate to the of the league

science. acts for a constituency. and
rot in the stead of it. There is a
very broad distinction between the
two Offices. As an illustration,
notice the relation between client
and lawyer. A Client may know his
case precisely. He may even be
able to present il as ably as his
lawyer but court procedure has
been so built up that he is forbidden
to do so. Thus, we have the lawyer
who is, in fact. a representative.
Through the demagoguery OF men
seeking office, this true meaning of
the office Of representative has been
submerged by the people assuming
the right to control the actions of
their representatives. 1t has reached
the point where representatives
have boldly declared that they have
supported their constituents de-
sires against their own Judgment
It is heretical to question the wis
dom of any of the words of Abra-
ham Lincoln, nevertheless. I dare
to say that this is a government OF
the people. for the people. by the
people; and that such a government
leads to what you call "paternal-
ism just as surely as that when
we sow what We shall reap wheat.
There are other evils. worse evils.
beside ''paternalism" that as surely
result from that kind of govern
ment. But without further delay
let me come to the point of my let
ter-the reason why I write il. II
does not require a political prophet
to see that there must be a re-
modelling of our governmental ma
chinery IL we are to escape a catas-
trophe. And there is but one agency
to which We can turn for assistance.
In the earlier days of our history
the people could and did rely on
eloquent, silver-tongued orators n
lead them. Gut that day has passed
and with ii has passed, IL not the
eloquence and oratory. at least, its
influence. People now depend not
on the spoken word, but the printed
one.
Journalism must blaze the trail

King of Irak.

7 UST in the nick of time Prince Emil Feisal
- becomes King of Irak, or Mesopotamia.
Feisal is the Oldest of King Hussein of Hejaz,
who recently proclaimed holy in support of
the Turks. He and his father fought with and for
the British against the Turks. Feisal gains his
kingdom through grace of the British after being
expelled from Syria by the French. He had been
promised Syria his reward.
Naturally he hates the French and is friendly to
the British. Quite naturally, his father may be
elassed of the same mind. But the French favor
the Turks and the British favor the Greeks. If the
holy war docs not develop to serious proportions,
If at all, no one need be surprised. If Mohammedan
dispeasure at the British because of their favor Of
the Greeks is greatly notified there need be
prise. A bird in the hand is better than a flock
in the air.
Yet this whole affair again shows the wisdom
OF the British and the unwisdom OF the French in
dealing with foreign peoples. France would have
lost nothing worth while and would have gained
much, if she had turned Syria to Fcsal, whom
the Syrians elected as their ruler She now has to
rule as an unwclcome mistress among a hostile
people, while Great Britain has checkmated what
might have developed a serious menace to the
Greeks, and a saving force for Frances friends
the Turks.

ADVERTISING CLUBS SAY
DYE INDUSTRY Is MENACEn

The Associated Advertising Clubs
OF the World. through its national
vigilance committee, has issued a
statement declaring that suspicion
and Misunderstanding menace the
life Of the organic chemical indus
try Of this country, and that the
Industry must be protected by an
embargo.
This organization has received in
'quiries concerning the fast quality
OF dyes used in the coloring OF
women's apparel and other ner-
chandise, and an investigation made
reveals that there is a widespread
belief that the lack of resistance OF
dyes TO water. light, perspiration
and other clements is due TO the
fact that American dyes were used.
We are convinced from our in
lvestigation that dyes made by
American manufacturers are a.
good in quality or better than the
same kind Of dyes made by foreign
firms, though there is a limited
class Of dyes which American manu-
factUrers do not attempt TO make, &"
says the statement.
We have found that most dive
troubles are due to the wrong ap-
( pliCation OF dyes or to misleading
/ information which reaches the pub
lie as to the fastness Of Colors
This misleading information has
appeared not only in advertising.
but largely also in word-of-mouth
selling.
The truth is. that few IL any
dyes, whether made in Germany or
made in America, can be Euaran-
teed for fastness under all Condi-
tions OF use. 4 dye may be fast to
water and not Yet fast TO perspira-
ton. 1t may be fast to fresh water
and not fast TO salt water. II may
be fast TO the water which q house.

Naughty Naughty.

THE HOUSE has soemnly resolved that Sena-
tor Reed was naughty, naughty, when he
ragged Mr.. Volstead. He certainly was unparlia-
mentary but there is strong head wind when he
is not. He enjoys it, gories in it, and his hearers,
also, enjoy his rare gift of invective and verbal
caricature, OF roasting in boiling oil, and his rich
vocabulary OF sarcasm, ridcule and personal attack
They listen with full sense of humor, if hearing
a verbal "Katzenjammer Kids" "Hairbreadth
Harry" other Illuminating bit of artistry.
What the House needs is like sense of humor.
They should not take the Senator seriously; he
does not take himself so, but as thoroughly en-
joys his flights of fancy, any other sort of artist
does his own productions. When he leaves the
Senate, he will be sadly missed There is no
other who fill the hiatus and Tighten the
drudgery Of routine with the joys of the dssectng

contribution to American statecraft and legislative
wisdom. There is another member of this Senate,
old in service and wise in his philosophy of poll
tics, who once said: "The most unhappy gift poll
tcian have, and the most fatal is the gift of
roasting. This is true. The political highway is
strewn with whose brilance of intellect and
gift OF language has been exemplifed most largely
in personal "roasts." 1t is to be hoped Mr. Reed
will not join this collection. He is needed to give
