New-York tribune., 1921-12-03

ancy Is unwarranted, being based on
force. The territory is Chinese in
fact and in right, and American
opinion is heartily behind the Chi
nese claim that, having got rid Of
one foreign intruder in Shantung,
China ought not to be compelled to
tolerate another. Germany's rights
were terminated automatically when
China declared war against her in
1917, and only military compulsion
had led the latter prior to that date to
permit Japan to expel Germany and
then to promise to let Japan bargain
with Germany for an assignment of
the German leasehoids and economic
privileges.
The Versailles settlement has
never been acquiesced in by Ameri-
can sentiment. 1t was one of the
wrongs against China which
prompted the United States to bring
the Far Eastern problem before the
world for equitable adjustment. A
friendly, uncoerced agreement be-
tween Japan and China would be
one OF the happiest auguries for the
conferences complete success.
New-York tribune., 1921-12-03
The Irish Deadlock

The Irish question, in it's theoretical
aspects at least, is now practically
where it was when the London con-
ferences began. BY going to confer
ence on the terms Lloyd George ex-
plicitly announced the Sim Fein
delegates clearly indicated that they
would not insist on independence
we're willing to accept status under
which political relations with the
British commonwealth would con-
tinue.
But there remained the question
of whether southern Ireland would
consent to applying to northeastern
Ireland the principle of self-determi-
nation. or whether northeastern Ire
land would consent to placing her
destiny under the control of south
ern Ireland. There is double mega
tive. De Valern will not consent to
home rule for northeastern Ireland
and Craig will not consent to surren-
der home rule. The deadlock created
has been unlockable by any key Of
compromise.
1t seems impossible for any liberal
minded person to deny the strength
of the case of northeastern Ireland.
Great pressure has been brought to
bear on Belfast to yield, Lloyd
George going so far in this respect
as to make himself hated by Belfast
but in the nature Of the case coercion
cannot be employed-an attempt to
apply it would wreck any British
ministry and could not be defended
anywhere.
On practical grounds it Is not easy
to understand why the Sim Fein
leaders have seen fit to prevent an
Irish settlement ON so narrow a
point. AS General SHUTS pointed
out, If the government Of southern
Ireland worked we'll and reasons for
Ulsterite apprehensions were re-
moved it is probable that at an early
date there would be an all-Ireland
union. To shut herself off from
political relations with a large part
of her commercial hintcrland would
be obviously to the economic disad-
vantage Of Belfast. Why is De
Valera unwilling to trust the future ?
Why is he SO determined to be over
lord Of northeastern Ireland now?

Practical Aviation

The series of meetings which the
Society Of Automotive Engineers is
holding this month in various parts
of the country-it will be in this city
on December 15-is an apt reminder
that aviation has been seriously
added to the worlds practical
methods of travel and transporta-
tion, and that it is time for us to
recognize the fact and to take the
necessary steps for its proper regu-
lation. The society has 5000 men,
bers, and in the last year our air
mail service involved 7,081 trips,
covering an aggregate Of about
100000 miles and carrying 45,O0O,-
900 letters.
A part of the proceedings at these
meetings is so technical in tone as
to be of little interest to the public.
But they are of direct popular in

ways, and landing grounds and the
attitudes at which aircraft are to
tiy. "Free as air" is familiar
phrase, but it is not to be inter-
preted as meaning that aircraft are
to be free to fly where they will and
as they will. Thus, while they may
fly at proper height over private
property without being regarded as
trespassers, it would obviously be in
tolerable to have them skimming
just above the roofs Of houses and
~the tops Of trees in lawns and
gardens, and it would be gross
menace to public safety, as some
tragic incidents have shown, to have
them thus cruise over grounds where
there were large assemblages of
people.

A Referendum That Worked

The full state returns on the seven
constitutional amendments demol-
ish the theory that the voting
public is referendum shy. 1t used
to be argued that the average voter
didn't care to be bothered with legis-
lative proposals and constitution
tinkering, and that when he passed
en- such matters he did it capricious-
ly and uninte l'gensly New York
City's vote On the seven amendments
didn't harmsnize with this reasoning.
The emp ete st'te totals emphasize
the conclusion that the public is not
only Interested in expressing it's
opinion on such proposals but is
capable of expressing it with ad-
mirable discrimination.
The vote for judge Of the Court
Of Appeals last month ran up to
100000. The total vote on the
second amendment was 100000, on
the first 1.545,00o, on the third L.
$4,000 and on the fifth 1,433,0o0.
The fifth, dealing with chiidren's
courts, affected the cities only. nS

Shantslng

The Chinese and Japanese dele
gates to tho conference are to try to
work out settlement in Shantung.
If they fail the conference itself will
have to take notice Of the situation
there, aggravated because of the
manner in which this particular for
eign lodgment on Chinese soil was
effected and has been perpetuated.
In 1898 Germany acquired lease
hold on the Shantung coast and eco-
nomic concessions in the interior of
the province. Two German mission
aries had been murdered by the ma
tives, and Berlin, anxious to enter
the group Of nations with land leases
and naval bases in China, exploited
the possibilities of this incident to
the limit. In addition to the custom
ary reparations Germany demanded
and obtained the foothold which she
long had coveted.
Japan entered the war against
Germany in August, 1914. Her first
move was to expel the Germans from
Shantung. China asked to be al
lowed to participate in this enter
prise, with a view to reclaiming
her leases and concessions. Japan
wouldn't permit this. After the
Tsingtau garrison surrenderedJapan
served the famous T yenty-one De-
mands on China, the first of which
required China to promise that she
would accept any BARGAIN for a
transfer of German rights in Shan
lung which Japan might be able to
make with Germany at the end Of
the war. An ultimatum accom-
panied the Twenty-one Demands.
China yielded to them under duress.
Japan shrewdly had her clairxs
for succession to Germany's rights
and interests indorsed by Great Brit
ain, France, Russia and Italy before
the United States went into the war.
She was made Germany's legatee in
the Versailles treaty, which this
country declined to ratify. In the

New Income Tax Wrinkle

10 the Editor Of The Tribune,
Sir: The new income tax law con-
tains rather interesting change as
to establishing losses on stocks or
securities in that the individual cam
not repurchase the Identical securities
within thirty days if the loss Is to be
allowed. This is a very arbitrary use
OF power, and the power is of very
doubtful constitutionality.
There can be no dispute that if the
profits of an individual are subject
to an income tax then the losses are
deductible from the gross income.
The right to sell is nothing more than
taking legal inventory of the security
assets; the loss might be taken with
out selling, on December 81, as of the
market valae of that date.
If the stock is repurchased or the
inventory price fixes a lower value
and hence loss, the government will,
in the event Of a rise from that price,
be able to tax the profits based on
such new valuation. Therefore, as a
matter of fact, the government in the
long run will obtain all that is due
on the taxable profits.
The Objectionable feature of this new
theory is that Congress iattempts to

the remaining three amendments,
Of relatively minor Importance, one
applying exclusively to the two
counties of Nassau and Westchester,
each drew out vote Of more than
100000.
This is an unusual record. More
over, no freakishness in Judgment
was exhibited. The amendment rails
ing the salaries Of Senators and
Assemblymen from S1,500 to $4,000
was buried under an adverse ma
jority Of 461,S44. The soldiers
civil service preference project was
beaten by 402,532. These two were
opposed by The Tribune and by the
press generally. All the other
amendments won. That imposing a
titeracy voting test had majority
of 264,54S, of which this city, with
its large foreign-born population,
furnished $1,000. The children's
and domestic relations court amend
nent was carried by majority OF
S79,689, of which this city con-
tributed $4,000. Only the West
chester~Nassau change of govern
ment proposal was closely contested.
1t received a majority Of 1884 and
would have been defeated but for a
favorable margin in this city of
$1,000. The two counties concerned
voted for it by narrow majorities.
The voters of the state are to be
congratulated on the result. They
registered their views on all these
legislative questions in a thoroughly
competent and businesslike manner.

The Starving Patent Office

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial in Thursdays
Tribune should convince any intelligent,
thinking man of the necessity for i'm
mediate action to put the Patent Office
staff on a better basis than exists at
present. 1t is little short Of a disgrace
to country Of the industrial impor-
tance Of the United States to have such
important officials Of government de-
partment placed in the position whore
they are unable to earn a livelihood
that would justify them in retaining
their positions, and to have specially
trained men with proper qualifications
constantly leaving the Office because of
inadequate salaries. cannot but lead to
state Of affairs in regard to the pro-
lection of inventions that will seri-
ously handicap this nation industrially
as compared with other nations,
Ten years ago the examiners and
deputy examiners in the British Patent
Office were paid salaries nearly double
the amount now paid to the examiners
in the United States Patent Office, and
the salaries Of all foreign government
employees abroad have been very sub
stantially increased in the last five
years, so that at the present time
British examiners are paid salaries
which are strong inducement to the
men to remain in the Office where their
training, experience and knowledge of
the art is available in connection with
the searches that they are called upon
to make. If the Importance of the
grant Of patents for new inventions
could be fully appreciated by Congress
the passage of the Lampert bill to in
crease the number of examiners and
the salaries paid to these valuable men
should be assured.

Aircraft Regulation
Support for Senator Wadsworth'
Bill--Canadian Method

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your issue of November 2s
notice letter by Harry J.. Marx on
Commercial Aviation" in which he
calls attention to the backward condi-
tion of aeronautics in this country as
compared with the development that is
taking place in some European coun-
tries. The comments of Mr.. Marx are
we'll founded, and it is quite evident to
all who have devoted any thought to
the subject Of aviation that our pri-
mary need in this country is rcgula-
tion and control by governmental au-
thorities. This is the purport of the
bill introduced in the United States
Senate by Senator Wadsworth and
sponsored in the House by Representa-
tive Hicks. 1t cannot be doubted that
national supervision of flying along
the lines contemplated ~ this legisla-
tion will do much to er-suragc Amcri
can enterprise in the Industry.
Mr.. Marx asks what is the status Of
American pilots and planes in Canada.
1t may not be generally known that the
Canadian Air Board has granted flying
privileges in Canada to pilots approved
by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc, and
flying ships which are duly registered
by Underwriters Laboratories. Under
writer's Laboratories have for many
years acted as an adviser to the in
surance companies in an engineering
capacity.
The companies have felt the neces-
sity of securing expert advice concern
ing ships and pilots, in view Of the fact
that no governmental regulation exists
in this country, and Underwriters
Laboratories have, therefore, under
taken to classify and register ships
and pilots. 1t Is encouraging to note
that the Canadian Air Board has recog-
nized their work to the extent that it
will permit properly certifcated Ameri-
can ships and pilots to fly in Canadian
territory.
1t is opportune to comment on the
intelligent and timely articles that have
appeared In The Tribune from time to
time relating to aviation, both from a
defense and commercial standpoint.
Whatever can be done to stimulate in
terest in this comparatively new mode
Of transportation is work of the most
constructive character, which cannot
fail to prove immensely beneficial to
the country at large.

lations became necessary, a fact
which was not recognized and acted
upon as promptly as it should have
been. In consequence deadly grade
crossings and other evils have been
entailed upon us. The general in
PRODUCTION Of motor cars urgently
called for another and a more radical
revision not only Of road control
but also of road construction, our
failure to make which promptly and
radically has been the fruitful cause
Of many casualties.
We shall be wise and prudent if
we recognize that aviation similarly
calls for regulatory action, both for
it's own promotion and for the sake
Of the public safety, and take the
necessary steps without waiting for
nuisances and disasters further to
emphasize their need.
