vision. In fact, this whole matter
OF mans competence to marry
(Which seems to be about the only
thing the psychologists haven't
tackled) certainly needs looking into
There must be a moment in every
mans life when his ability to select
q partner is at it's highest, or, to put
it more accurately, when his incom-
petence is at minimum.
In this country there are no APP
parent restrictions upon getting
married until it is too late. THAT is
to say, the restrictions begin where
the chances of removing them end.
This is highly inconvenient, to say
the least. AS long as our welfare
societies and other paternal institu-
tions are increasing at such a rate,
why not have a commission on mat
rimony, that, for a simple fee, will
give us some idea when we can get
married with the least amount of
personal risk?

The "Mire" Committee

When the formation of a commit
tee to investigate conditions in New
York was first proposed in Albany
last spring not only did Tammany
object-which was to be expected
but certain Republicans seemed to
fear searching inquiry. Except
for the pressure of public opinion,
the investigation would not have
been ordered. Some Republican or
ganization leader damned the COM
mittee with faint praise, while
prominent Brooklyn leader damned
the committee with a full heart.
But public opinion triumphed, and
Chairman Meyer was heralded as
the torchbearer of good government
to illuminate the dark spots in the
city government. But this was two
months ago. And yet to-day the
public knows little more than it did
then. There is always a reason for
further delay. The effect of the sue
cessive postponements already is
seen. Last spring Hearst and Muir
ply were much alarmed. Now the
former has courage enough to speak
of the committee as the "mire" COM
mittee. Of course it is. Down in
the Hylan muck it is naturally in
the mire. The only surprise is that
Hearst is bold enough to admit by
his epithet that it is "mire" COM
mittee.
The "mire" committee thus has it's
business pointed out to it. Stopping
all foolishness and coming down
later than the Dongan charter, it
should get ready to drain the swamp
of Hylanism. Diligent work will
ouickly silence the injurious whisper
that it still is responsive to the in
fluences that wanted no investlga-
ton.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-07-20
The De Valera Dilemma

The Ulster delegation in explain
ing why it has withdrawn, at least
temporarily, from the Irish confer
cnce in London scarcely says any
thing new or unexpected. There is
merely a restatement of what has
been declared many times. Belfast
would have peace and does not die
tate to the British government it's
course toward southern Ireland, but
it has no idea of becoming subject
province. The Ulster Cabinet made
this quite clear when it recently de-
clined to send representatives to
Dublin.
De Valera being apparently I'M
willing or unable to concede listers
right to self-determination, the Ul-
ster men see no use in protracted
negotiations. De Valera has indi-
Gated that he will not insist on COM
plete separation from Great Britain,
provided he is conceded the mastery
of both Irelands. But Ulster has
no notion of being treated as trans
ferable merchandise and would be
lord of her own fate.
One phase of the general Irish
problem relates to the connec-
ton that is to be sustained to the
British Empire, and the other, quite
as vital, relates to the connection
between the twins, not always
heavenly in mutual conduct, that are
Ireland. To say that Lloyd George
and De Valera did not foresee that
nothing would be settled until the
Ulster question is disposed of
would be to belittle their intelli-
gence. Both knew that the confer
ence would necessarily be tripartite
and both knew that some sort of
partition in the island was essential
to successful meeting.
AS near as can be discerned from
this distance, De Valera has ventured
far out on a limb and it is not easy to
see how he can climb back without
some sort of spill. If he continues to
emphasize the Righteousness of ma
tlonal self-determination in his talks
with Lloyd George, he can't make
much Roadway with Craig by telling
him that self-determination is no abb
solute principle, but a matter of
common sense and judgment. The
dilemma has sharp horns. 1t will
take nimbleness to avoid implement
On one or the other branch.
But the London conference has al
ready done good. 1t has tended to
tring out the simplicities of prob
lem which has been made artificial
ly complex. The rights of Great
Britain, Of southern Ireland and Of
northern Ireland all have their just
claims and must all be considered.

Japan S Strongest Card

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Referring to the recent expose
relating to the origin of the lansing

to the fact that in letter to The
Tribune in 1919 or 1920, as 1 recall it.
| pointed out that the strongest card
which the Japanese held in their hand
IN Paris was this agreement; and that.
unless Wilson was disingenuous, it was
wormed out of him without his hayino

had preceded it, and, therefore. he was
palpably deceived as to the real import
Of the diplomatic trick played upon
him, which proves to have been

events leading UP to our own partici-
patton in the great war.

Kid-nabbing
To the Editor of The Tribune

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | cannot understand whv the
newspapers persist in spelling "kid-
mapping" and "kidnapper" with onlv
one "p," nor why some of the diction-
aries countenance and even prefer that
spelling. The word is derived, as ev-
erybody knows, from "kid," meaning
child, and "nab," meaning to seize or
grab, and was originally thus spelled ::
"kld-nabbing" and "kid-nabber." The
"b" has been softened into o." but
there is no reason nor excuse for not
continuing to double it, If we used
grab" instead of NAB" should we SPELL
it "kidgrabing"? The rule is practi-
cally universal to double the conso-
nant after short vowel; thus: Bid.
bidding and bidder; fib, fibbing and
hbber; rip, ripping and ripper. Why
should we make an exception and write
nab" "nabing" and "naber"?
