It is my belief that busi ness in general has reached the end of the lane of depression and is rounding the corner into the street of prosperity. l base these remarks on the situation in general, not only in mysown establishments but by the bank ing outlook.
 Everything points to better business. Orders are on the in crease and the money market seems to be loosened up. In almost every branch of the busi ness of Roy and TitcOmb, Inc. |, a steady increase is apparent and much merchandise is being sold.

New-York tribune., 1921-05-18

II has been repeatedly proved by
incontrovcrtible evidence from the
highest authorities in the British, Ger
man and American nayies that the SUD-
marine was depended upon in January,
1917, to win the war for Germany in
six months by starving England. and
that it came within an ace Of doing
so despite the navies of the civilized
world. Notwithstanding this fact the
United States blindly ignores the sub
marine in it's building policyl The sit
uation is truly astounding.
1t is easy to account for the infe~
riority of our submarines, for the fail
ure to correct their faults and for the
neglect to design and build the new
types that were developed by the Ger
mans, as well az by the English, in
the last months of the war and follow
ing the armistiee. There is no bureau
of submarines in the Navy Department.
There is no one officer with authority
and responsibility to give direction to
the development of this vitality impor-
tant element of the fighting feet. For
this reason the subject has either been
ignored or thrust into the background
during the discussion Of our naval
policy.
New-York tribune., 1921-05-18
Postal Delay

"Mail early and often" is the gist
of an appeal by the postmaster Of
New York, who deprecates the prac-
tice Of sending the bulk Of the days
correspondence to the postoffice late
in the afternoon. The result is that
the postoffice force is overworlled in
the evening and has great difficulty
in expediting the peak load.
BY a little readjustment Of office
routine on the part of the business
Offices it should be possible to finish
a large part of the days mail sooner
than is now the custom. Certain
letters, of course, will have to be
written late, but many can be dis
patched early. Says the postmas-
ter: "The mailing of a letter even
half an hour before the evening rush
begins may mean that it will arrive
at its destination twenty-four hours
earlier"
Compliance with the request prom
Uses benefit to all concerned. A lit
tie forethought alone is needed, espe-
cially concerning the mailing Of
masses of circulars.
New-York tribune., 1921-05-18
Now 1t Cam Be Told

With that Incompatible sim
plicity of diction and clarity of
thought which is the gift Of
those who use the German
tongue, the Sunday edition of
the Staats-Zeitung describes Ger
many's foreign policy from 1878
till 1914 in single sentence only
thirty-eight words long. By the
free use of British gold it has been
possible to obtain a translation,
which, although it fails to do justice
to the original, gives a pithy pic
ture Of this policy.
According to the article. it was
perhaps, after a strong, con-
sciously directed peace policy,
guided by master hand, vacillat-
ing, uncertain, often naive, some
times at the wrong moment saber-
rafting and apparently provoking,
but nevertheless fundamentally
entirely unwarlike and lacking
great aims, also unimperialistic. :"
Being interpreted, it apparently
signifies that t Germany didn't
start the war. This suspicion
is confirmed later when we learn
that as a matter of fact we all of
us got into the war "gestolpert,
gegleiten, geschlittert," whi C h
means Stumbled, slipped and slid" 4"
The nations, 1t appears, slipped
at once. Of course, that means
that Germany slipped last, but this
was not Germany's fault, but the
fault Of President Poincare of
France and the Russian Ambassa-
dor, Iswolsky, and not, as it used to
be, of Lord Grey. For the sake of
argument, however, the article ad-
mits that although Germany did
not start the war she was among
those present when the fighting
began.
individual responsibility" quer-
les the author. His answer, put into
the vernacular, is simply that
"there amt no such animal" By
way of proof he points out that
the air was charged with electricity
in 1914, and when the lightning
strikes, who knows whence it
comes? To seek to locate respon-
sibility for the war is like attempt
| ing to fix responsibility for the mi
grafton of the hordes of bar
barians. 1t was not German mill
tarism. but the militarism of the
world (including China and the
United States) that was respon-
sible for the war. Not German
capitalism but world capitalism
was to blame. And what commen-
tary on the credulity Of mankind

Aliens and Citizenship

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me to express my hearty
approval Of the letter of G. S. S. on
denying citizenship to aliens. "There
is no particular disadvantage in being
an alien" Certainly not. Our good
aliens would always be interested in
the welfare of their adopted country
for their children's sake. They would
lend their influence to better condi-
tions whether they voted or not.
This country no longer needs i'm
migrants to such an extent that we
must make concessions to aliens. All
the people who come to America expect
to better their condition. They do it.
Opportunities open to them on every
hand. They receive the benefits of our
many free institutions. Why should
not this suffice for them? Their chill
dren grow gradually and naturally into
the knowledge and love of American
ideals. They thus have the opportunity
to develop into worthy citizens.
Native born or twcnty-one years in
the country should be made the condi-
ton of full citizenship. We would
have better citizens and less political
intrigue. incidentally, the tide of i'm
migration would still flow toward our
shores. A. A. DE WINE.
