Burning the Last Barrier

The news that Senator Freling-
huysen, of New Jersey, has intro
duced bill into the Senate in which
1t IS proposed to furnish the public
with accurate information about the
coal industry must naturally be
viewed with alarm by every patri-
otic American citizen.
We have become fairly accustomed
TO disclosure. Business privacy is
almost altogether thing of the
past. The one thing that we have
reiled upon never to be known is
the inside of the coal industry.
III we are now to be informed why
we pay dollar ton more for coal
one month than we do in another
why it costs six or seven times as
much as a ton of coal is worth at the
mines to get it anywhere at all, why
poor person who can buy it only
by the bucketfnl and pay cash has
to pay about twice as much as the
rich who get it by the ton and paw
when they feel like it, why miners
appear to be working only when
there is plenty Of coal and to be laid

The Unamericanized

With restricted immigration to
permit US to assimilate the alien
population already awaiting politico-
chemical alteration into Americans,
we have need to consider many
things that hinder newcomers from
acquiring our manner of thinking
and, what's worse, the factors that
continue them in practices that are
peculiar to no land, but come direct
to US from Beelzebub himself.
Tipping is no mean barrier to the
development of good Americans, par
ticularly that form of tipping now
prevailing, representing exaction,
not largess graciously given and ac-
cepted. Most checkers of hats, coats
and umbrellas are apparently re-
quired to blockade the entrances and
compel the patrons to check their
property and later to pay nickels and
dimes or be jeered at, if not cursed.
Many places of resort are COM
pletely under foreign direction, and
it seems believed that frank, open
piracy is the American way. The
young alien is stimulated into fever
ish get-rich-quick ambitions, and,
seeing that Americans like to appear
opulent, is dazed and copies the care
less affluence of our men and women.
He is quickly educated to scowl at
the exceptional man who neglects an
excessive pourboire (pourquoi, these
daysO and plans career of legal
lied highwaymanship.
Do we want a citizenship of slick
coin-snatchers among our tradesmen
in the future? Then it is best to-day
to quit patronizing institutions too
grossly addicted to enforced tipping
sidelines. A boy may go to school
and learn the vernacular and the
words of the national anthem, and
still be not much of an American If
he is so mean of soul as to be greedy
for tips.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-11
Army Retrenchment

The army appropriation act as it
passed the Senate carried 1884,
100000. AS it passed the House
of Representative it had carried
$500, 100000. This measure went
through both branches at the last
session, but President Wilson killed
it by pocket veto. Secretary Baker
felt highly aggrieved because Con-
gress had had the audacity to cut
his estimates for 1921-'22 more
than so per cent. He demanded ap-
preparations of $699,275, 900. The
act which Mr.. Wilson vetoed pro-
vided only $346,703,O0
The Presidents veto was pro-
test against army retrenchment. 1t
had an effect different from that
intended. 1t gave the new Con-
gress an opportunity to make
small additional saving. The total
of last sessions act was $12,0OO,-
600 larger than the total of the act
as it repassed the Senate. 1t was
$26,000,000 larger than the total
of the act as it repassed the House.
If the conference splits the differ
ence between the two branches the
army bill will carry S327,OOO,0 O,0O0-
SS72, 100000 less than the depart
ment estimates. This is fact
worth noting by critics who are
trying to make out a case of ex-
travagance against Congress.
Mr.. Bakers obstructive policy
and his defiance of Congress have
reacted injuriously on the army.
Congress didn't want to reduce the
enlisted strength below 175, 900.
But after the Secretary ignored all
restrictions put on him by the ap-
preparation bill of 1920-'21, started
in to, recruit up to 250,000 and
created huge deficiency in the
army pay account there was nAh-
ing left for Congress to do but to
cut the personnel temporarily be-
low the original minimum. Since
the strength is now above 100000,
it will have to fall below 10000
before the end of the next fiscal
year in order to even up the pay
allowance.
This is regrettable from the
point of view of the army's eff
cheney. 1t will retard reorganiza-
tion on the new peace basis and in
terfere with training. During the
war Mr.. Baker didn't want to have
large enough army. He fought
extensions of the draft. But after
the arn1istice he was equally set on
having coo large an army. For a
year or two the service will con-
tinue to suffer from his perversities
of Judgment.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-11
Obregon's Reply

The World blames Mr.. Hughes for
asking Mexico to interpret that arti-
Gle of the Mexican Constitution
which if applied retroactively would
amount to a policy of confscation
and would be fragrant violation of
international law. By portraying
meek and spotless President Obre-
gon as a prey to the ferocious Mr..
Hughes, tool of the oil interests, an
attempt seems made to divert atten-
tion from the facts in the case.
The case is simple. Article XXVII
of the Mexican Constitution permits
the Mexican authorities to confscate
the property of foreigners in Mexico,
be it oil lands, ranches, farms or
mines. Such power of confiscation
is direct violation of international
law. Why should Mexico, if it is not
her purpose to exercise her power,
not say so?
The government of the United
States has on various occasions de-
clared that nation must recognize
international law as a binding sys-
tenn before it can be admitted to full
and equal participation in the inter-
course of civilized states. 1t will not
be contended that Article XVII of
the Mexican Constitution is in &C.
cord with international law, if inter-
preted as seemingly it must be.
We're the case at issue merely a
question of recognition, the United
States on these grounds alone would
be justified in refusing to grant it.
But recognition is only incidental
or coincidental--to the making of a
treaty of commerce and amity be-
tween the two nations, disposing Of
the many disputed points that have
arisen between the two countries in
the last few years. 1t is grossly in
accurate to say America wishes to
impose conditions" on Mexico. To
ask that Mexico shall agree to do no
more confiscating is not to coerce a
weaker nation.
What better way of doing this
than by treaty of commerce and
amity? 1t is nothing unusual to set
tie disputed points by treaty. Nor is
1t unusual for one nation to question
the conformity to international law
of certain statutes of another nation
and to endeavor to adjust them.
When President Wilson recognized
the Carranza government he did so
conditionally, and only after Car
ranza had made specific pledges. So
President Hayes recognized Diaz
conditionally.
Too much emphasis seems to be
laid ON personalities and too little on
the principles at issue. If Mexico
does not intend to apply the disputed
article retroactively as a measure of
confiscation what possible objection
can there be to so stating?
Is Mexico's President chiefly in

Study Your Grammar
A Crusade for Correct Speech
Specialists language Deprecated.

Specialists Language Deprecated.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Let me thank you for your
editorial appraising grammar at its
true worth. My commentator is In
the nature of thanks because this is
the only crusade have ever engaged
in, though in a small way, to impress
the value of the thorough study Of
grammar upon young and old among
my acquaintances.
1t is not an illimitabie subject, such
as many other studies that engage
people in leisure moments. And, as
you have so well said, it is the founds-
tion of our education. Only by
thoroughly mastering it-by no means
fearful task-can any one hope to
understand any other subject clearly
or to transmit his thoughts clearly
and universally. Adults should fire.
quently refresh their remembrance
Of the unchanging rules of grammar
A book of English grammar is the
bible of every American processing
to be educated.
But l disagree with you that "the
picturizing, the diagramming Of SEN
fences, has doubtless been overdone
IN grammar teaching in the past" |
owe most of my interest in grammar
to the diagrammatic method as taught
me twenty years ago in Kansas City.
No question in technical grammar ever
Gus about my spoken and written SEN
tences. | never need an authority to
whom to submit a syntax perpleyity.
All have to do is quickly to picturizc
the complicated sentence into dia-
gram of subject, predicate. the COM
rlements, and the modifying adjee-
tives, adverbs, phrases and clauses. /
should say that diagramming is the
basis of a sound study of grammar
by children.
You had another editorial that sp-
realed to me strongly few days ago,
on Specialists Language" From the
wisdom in that editorial | am EN-
boldened to say to educators that We
know they are erudite folk, or that we
believe they are when our school
boards accept them, and that, there
tore, they need not use the technical
language of erudition in textbooks
for elementary schools. In grammar
why not clearly and plainly call the
imperative the command mood. the in.
dicative the simple or normal mood,
the subjunetive the contrary-to-fsct
mood. the accusative the objective
case, the dative the receiver case, etc.f
Hlghfalutin terminology makes an un-
necessary puzzle of education and
causes every student to lose interest
