Our National Songs

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: What is the matter with "The
STAR pangled Banner as our national
air and song?
What more convincing and accept"
able approval can be had of its sufti-
cheney than that comprised In the ae-
ton of the committee in 1861 TO which
your correspondent, Mr.. Wakeman, re-
fersf No more representative body o.
men, typical of Americas highest citi'
zenshir, could have been selected.
Does not their action virtually plaes
the old song above competition?
We can very well carry through our
patriotic exercises at all times with
"The Star-Spangled Banner" my
Country, It's of Thee and "The Battle
Hymn" of Mrs. Howe.
Leave well enough alone. Simply
have these songs we'll taught in all our
schools, so that the rising generation
shall be able to sing them better than
the present. / once had the boys, near
ly 1000, of the Boys High School,
Brooklyn, sing THE Battle Hymn Of
the Republic" for Mr.. Beecher, who had
visited the school He told me he had
never been so thrilled by a song.

Columbia University is nothing If
not ambitious. At a summer session
that begins on July 8 a staff of edu-
Gators, authors and journalists, un-
der the auspices of Columbia, will
try to discover whether there is an
American literature, and If there is
one where it is situated and just
what can be done to keep it alive---if
anything.
American literature has now been
eluding its pursuers for number of
years. Just as somebody traces it to
it's lair and the hue and cry is raised
that it is discovered at last it disap~
pears. 1t was supposed to have had
it's birth in Massachusetts, where it
was weaned by Hawthorne and got
ten through its teething period by
Emerson, James Russell Lowell and
Thoreau, assisted by Whittier and
Longfellow. Others claim that it
was brought up by Walt Whitman
and Edgar Allan Poe. The nurses of
George Washington are as nothing
to the sponsors of American litera-
ture. From Boston it ia supposed to
have emigrated to Kansas, Bret
Harte carried it beyond the Rockies,
and since then it has been seen in
Indiana, Illinois, Philadelphia and

Disputing Lincoln's Logic

TO tho Editor Of The Tribune,
Sir: If Abraham Lincoln was right
in his contention that labor employed
in transporting articles made in ono
country to another is useless labor"
an alleged fact that you seem to think
justifies protective tariff system, the
same argument would apply to the
transportation of materials for manu-
facture from one section Of this coun-
try to the place where they are to be
used.
Steel for use in making agricultural
implements is shipped from Birming-
ham, Ala, to York, Pa. According to
Lincoln's logic this is useless waste
of labor. The implements should be
manufactured where the steel is pro-
duced, thus saving freight charges.
Leather tanned in Illinois is shipped
to Brockton, Mass. The boots and
shoes should be made where the tan
merry is located, if the protective theory
is correct.
Does The Tribune hold that an eco
nomic principle depends on the politi-
cal and geographical divisions of the
earth? We have in the United States
perfect freedom of trade for 100, 900 900
people. If the nation were divided
into four smaller nations, would it be
wise for each section to have protective
tariffs against the other sections?

Fairness in Mortgage Loans
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I think as matter of fairne SIS
something should be said in defense of
the savings banks that do not take any
unfair advantage Of their patrons.
During the last two years / have
placed, principally with one savings
bank. some dozen first mortgage loans.
In every case the amounts were fair;
the cost was only what the title COM
pany's charges are, or were, plus their
attorney fees, for drawing mortgages,
recording and mortgage tax.
Where we were the brokers, selling
the premises and getting our commits
sions on the sale, we made no charge
for commissions for obtaining the
loan, which involved a considerable
sum IN eho aggregate, want your
readers to know there are some honest
minded institutions and fair brokers

In Spite of Women's Suffrage

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: l was and still am a stancb
sutfragist, but am beginning to wonder
whether we won banner victory or
are too meek to follow it up. In this
mornings Tribune read of the arrest
OF woman for wearing a transparent
blouse which exposed her neck below
the collar line. A Congressman in
Washington who never smoked in his
life thinks that good and sufficient
reason to keep women from doing So
Our freedom as housewives is cur
tailed. No longer may we regale our
guests with the historic plum pudding
CT the mince pie, Mr.. Volstead object
ing to the use of brandy and sherry.
The vigorous woman of middle age
is up against the verboten rule. AL
though she would prefer day leisure
and night work, she Is denied that
privilege by the powers that be-on
account of the bad effect upon the fu-
ture generation. Do we really want
this sort of thing and can we keep on
boasting of our liberty in law-bur.

MIR. Vanderlip IL Home

The great Washington 3. Wander
lip, who still is not averse, if we un-
derstand him rightly, to being con-
fused with another VANDERBILT, has
come to town again after brief So
journ in Sovietdom. Unwilling to
disappoint the expectant public, he
has brought with him this time not
mere paltry empire Of 100000
square miles, nor even concessions
worth more than the combined debt
of Germany. France and England,
but the key to the dominion of the
world-.a naval base. In fact, he has
brought two, one Of which he intends
to present to a friend and the other
to hold for the benefit of the new or
der of mankind.
No. l, his token Of affection for
the American government, is some
where on the Pacifc-he declines to
state where other than to say that it
is not far from Vladivostok. Base
No. 2 he locates as twenty-four
hours from Alaska and forty-eight
hours from Japan. What he intends
to do with this is not known, but il
is presumed that any one having a
particular yearning for or need of a
naval base might be able to do bust
ness with Mr.. Vanderbilt.
The Soviet government very kindly
has given him title in perpetuity
to these bases. In so doing it has
followed the excellent example of the
former Kaiser, who always was
ready to promise territories which
would be his as soon as Germany
won the war. The methods used by
Messrs. Lenine and Vanderlip, as
described in the story the latter gave
to the newspapers, are also in the
most approved imperial German
style. AS adjunct, or perhaps
only as goat" Mr.. Vanderlip used
none other than the great H. G..
Wells, whom he had detained for five
days at the frontier by fabricated
passport difficulties" so that by the
time Wells got the news out Lenine
was able to have diplomatic denials
framed to satisfy England and
Japan. Perhaps it was during this
five-day stay at the border that Mr..
Wells conceived his particular dis
taste for MARKHAM whiskers which
formed such conspicuous item in
his impressions of Russia.

Small Towns Better Dry
General Sprucing Up Under the In
Auence of Prohibition

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: One effect of prohibition which
seems not to have been commented upon
previously Is noted in the letter Of Mr..
Hoare, of Australia, under your head
ing, "Looker-On in Dry America
He asks the question, "How is it
your cities differ from those of other
countries? Why are they freer from
drunkenness, vice and popprty7" Most
of us are in better position to compare
conditions in some small town with
which we were acquainted prior to the
advent of prohibition, and particularly
if the town was not local option.
Knowing it as we did before, it is
easily possible to perceive an indefina-
BILE change for the better. 1t would be
hard to analyze this change. 1t doubt
less is due to multitude of small in
fuences, all the effect of prohibition.
The street may be little better
swept, a store window here and there
more brightly polished, the display
within less dusty, here and there a
house freshly painted which would not
have been improved, the children in
the street, on the average, a little
cleaner, better fed and brighter, bet
ter average of clothing on them, their
air one Of more self-respect and their
voices less querulous-the result Of
an improved home influence.
The foregoing sounds almost fanci-
full, but doubtless there are many who
will agree that it states the fact. While
in itself it may seem of little impor-
lance, it testides to improved condi-
tions which add greatly to the sum of
human happiness.

do. It has forbidden recruiting of
volunteers to take part in the up
rising. 1t has closed the frontier."
Korfanty is an upper Silesian,
not Pole. He was for many years
Deputy in the German Reichstag.
General Hoeffer, on the other hand,
is an outsider, German agent,
whose connections with the Berlin
government are manifest. Ger
many is reported to have ordered
him to withdraw with his non-Sile-
sian troops from the plebiscite area.
Bus he has been kept there until
now in defiance of the theory that
Upper Silesia is neutral territory,
under the exclusive jurisdiction of
the Allied Supreme Council.
Lloyd George made the mistake of
representing Poland as the aggres-
sor in Upper Silesia, which she never
has been, and as claiming that Brit
ish and American opinion was unan-
imously with him in thinking that
Germany should be allowed to use
troops to defend the soil of an am
cient German province. But vari-
GUS British newspapers and peri
odicals, including The Morning
Post, The New Witness and The
National Review, have protested
against the Prime Minister'S anti
Polish policy, and here in the United
States the newspaper support given
him on this issue has consisted
largely of the publication of news
matter colored by coming from Ger
man sources.
Korfanty made no resistance to
the creation Of a buffer area be-
tween pro-Polish Upper Silesia and
pro-German Upper Silesia. Paci-
fication can be easily accomplished
if outside disturbers like Hoeffer are
elected. The Allied Council has the
means to restore it's own authority.
1t is responsible for a fair par
tition of the voting district-one in
harmony with the purposes of the
treaty, and not dictated by the ext
gencies of recent reparations bar
gaining with Germany.

parts Of Brooklyn. There were ru-
mors at one time that it had become
New Yorker, but these seem to
have been dispelled by Mr.. Mencken,
who thinks it has been located in
Chicago. Mr.. Theodore Dresser, Mr..
James Branch Cabcll, Mr.. George
Horace Lorimer, Mrs. Edith Whar-
ton and Mr.. Ring Lardner have all
been accused Of concealing it about
their persons.
The great question now arises:
If Columbia University, with the aid
of these distinguished sleuths, sue
ceeds in getting" American litera-
ture at last, what are we going to do
with it?

A Victory for Moderation

The Senate has wisely yielded to
the Houses view that army and
navy appropriations for 1929
ought to be smaller than those for
1920-'21. Every obstacle had been
put by the Wilson Administrative
in the way of such a reduction,
Secretary Baker submitted army
estimates for 1921-'22 totaling $685.
275,000. Congress had voted $685.
$4,000 for 1920-'21, although $685.
$4,000 had been demanded by Mr..
Baker. At the third session of the
last Congress an army appropria-
ton bill was passed carrying $780,
000,000--less than half the amount
estimated for. President Wilson
killed it with a pocket veto because
it offended Mr.. Bakers sensibilities
as a reckless after-the-war spender.
AT the present session the total has
been cut still further-to 1928, 000,-
000-a saving Of $370,000,000 on
the Wilson-Baker estimates.
The Navy Department asked
$3.50, 631 900 for 192O-'21 and $685.
$4,000 for 1921-'22. For the cur
rent observation-disclosures .al-
lowed $433,279, 000--a deduction Of
$149,351 900. At the last session
the House passed naval appropri-
alton bill for 1921-'22 carrying $780,
DOL, 000-a saving of $283,514, 900
on the estimates. The Senate failed
to act on the measure. In this Con-
gress the House again allowed $780,
100000 and the Senate tried to add
$98,000,000. According to The
Tribune's Washington dispatches
the conference committee has agreed
on bill carrying $414,ooO,oOo.
This is s19,oo0,OOO less than the
total voted for 1920-,21.
Congress is therefore likely to
make a saving Of $4,000 in the
cost of tho two military services for
1921-'22 as compared with their cost
for 1S20-'21. It will have appropri-
ated $636,000,000 less than the
Baker-Daniels estimates for the year
beginning July / next. Here is a
record Of retrenchment only family
appreciated by the public, which has
been misled by charges that Con-
gress has been increasing military
expenditure. The fact is thst Con-
gress alone has stood in the way of
enormous increases in such expend-
iture planned by the last Admin
istration. The two military serv-
ices will receive for 1922 only
100000 out Of total of appro-
priations Of S3,sO6,0oO,0 or Of
$3.50, 100000, emitting deficiencies.
We are still paying for past wars.
But the amount allotted to future
defense is now only about one-fifth
Of our expenditure "a moderate
ratio under existing circumstances.
