Veterans Disagree

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The veterans who have writ
ten such eloquent letters to your pa
per opposing the soldiers adjusted
compensation bill are evidently lack
ing in the solGierly quality of regard
for the other fellow. Because they
are we'll off does not justify them in
aiding a propaganda directed against
their less fortunate comrades.
The conditions after the Spanish
War form no basis for argument. We
were discharged penniless then, it is
true, but there was no difficulty in
earning living. This time we were
proftecring.
In addition, we were loaded with taxes
TO pay for anti-saloon activities, Co.
lombian concessions, Liberian loans,
railroad relief, shipping subsidies and
bureaucratic blunders. The govern
ment has acknowledged it's response
bility for all these conditions to every
body except the men who defended it.
The state bonus was different 1t was
not a debt, but mark of appreciation
from certain states which were crate
full to their own citize1fs.
The disabled are being cared for, or
should be, for we paid their pensions
with our insurance premiums. The
average condition may be illustrated d
by the case Of an acquaintance who
came home with durable disease and
the loss of several teeth. He has a
/ sob and family, but cannot pay the
prevailing prices for medical and
dental attention. He cannot obtain gov
ernment assistance unless out of en-
ployment and at least partially dis
sbled, and the so-called bonus is his
only chance of physical restoration.
The soldiers will be paid eventually,
but the opposition to them will prob
ably result in replacing the present
innocuous organizations by veterans'
organization with teeth. And the
aforesaid teeth will cost the nation
much more than would have been re-
quired to deal fairly with the service

From William H. Anderson
Anti-Saloon Leagues Attitude Re-
garding Judge Haskell

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The failure Of the Anti-Saloon
League to answer Judge Reuben l.
Haskell's attacks during the recent
campaign was not due to either fear or
inability, but pursuant to a campaign
mapped out long in advance.
The Anti-Saloon League two years
ago, us proved by the published record
first disclosed that Judge Haskell's
race for county judge in 1919 was the
warming-up heat of his real race for
Mayor two years later on wet plat
form. The league engaged in open
contest with him then for the double
purpose of helping him imprint an in
delible wet brand upon himself fol-
future reference and of educating
Brooklyn so he couldn't make second
trip in safety on the same ticket.
A year ago, in anticipation of what
finally developed, the Anti-Saloor
League undertook to make clear, cul-
minating in formal declaration to that
effect by union meeting Of the minis
ters of New York City and vicinity last
January, that prohibition per Sc could
have no proper place in a mayoralty
campaign because the Mayor could not
change the law.
With this preparation, instead of en-
gaging in a hippodrome with Judge
Haskell this time, theaeby afording
him an excuse for his absurd claims
the league stepped aside and allowed
him to defeat himself with intelligent
voters, losing even Brooklyn.
Judge Haskell's defeat was not a
prohibition victory, for the simple rea-
son that prohibition was not an issue
The Anti-Saloon League is satisfied
with the showing that the people of
Brooklyn and New York City cannot
be deceived by the same fake twice
and that, whatever the feeling of the
electorate of New York City respecting
prohibition per Sc, there is a growing
regard, reflected especially by the WON
Ell, in favor of upholding the law.

Retail Prices Down
Department Of Commerce and BanI
Figures Cited to Prove 1t

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I am sorry to note in your issue
of September IL the "Ding" cartoon
bearing the title "Seems as Though
They Might Come Down at Least as
Far as the Dog" indicating that the
prices Of retail merchants have not
dropped the least bit.
In this connection I would like to cali
your attention to the figures Of the
Department of Commerce for July-the
August report has not been issued IS
yet-proving that retail prices ha,s
dropped from a peak point of s4 ia
the middle Of last year to sl.75 in JULY
1921. This, of course, is an averare,
using the prices of 1913 as basis fcr
figuring, and it refers only to the prices
of commodities sold through retail out
let's and does not include such items Is
coal, rent, light, ETC., which are dis-
pensed elsewhere.
Moreover, striking an average for
prices during the ten years from 1910
to the end of 1920-which includes both
lean and fat years and is the only
proper method of arriving at an idea
of what normal prices" are-it will be
seen that the figure of $1.75 is below
the line Of normality, which is around
$1.S5.
Mr.. Darling, however, would not have
to be familiar with government reports
and statistical charts in order to see
the error in his cartoon. He must know
by experience that clothing, shoes, hats,
foodstuffs, furniture and the like have
declined in price materially since May,
1920. His pocketbook will prove this,
even if his memory is faulty, and If hs
desire more authoritative evidence OF
the price-drop all along the line would
like to refer him to the report issued
by the Federal Reserve Bank in your
own district in May of this year, be-
fore the additional decline of the suni-
mer months was noticeable. This report
stated that during the year from May,
1920. to May, 1921:
Women's suits dropped "a per cent;
mems suits dropped 80 per cent; gro
ceries went down 40 per cent; mems
shoes declined 3S per cent; womcn's
shoes dropped 43 per cent; furniture
showed decrease of 4s per cent; china
siumped % per cent, and pianos-in the
luxury class-dropped 1s per cent.
There can certainly be no question
that prices have declined even moro
than this since May of this year.

To the Editor Of The Tribunes
Sir: The editorial headed Mutual
Peace Insurance" prompts me to recall
to your memory plank headed by you
Foreign Alliances Favored" published
in your plank contest section April
Is, 1920.
1t reads: "The Republican party ad
vocates the negotiation of treaty
with France, England and Italy, guar
anteeing our aid, military, naval and
financial, in the event of any attack
on the home territory of those ma
tions, unless such attack be provoked d
by unjust action of the nation at
tacked'
Washington's often-quoted advice to
beware of entangling alliances is coun-
tered by his action in welcoming aid
from France in waging what he re-
garded as war of defense against en-
croachmcnt on our rights and liberties
Would the Germans have dared to at
tack if such an alliance had existed?

New-York tribune., 1921-09-19

Vice-Admiral Kerr Of the British
navy has published an article in
"The London Outlook" in which he
says that feet attacking the Phil
ippines could be destroyed by air
craft. He argues that America could
defend the Philippines without send
ing battle feet to the Far East.
This is not a new view, either in
England or America. Rear Admiral
Bradley A. Fiske expressed it in an
article, "The Defense of the Philip
pines," which appeared in "The
North American Review" last June.
He wrote:
"a force of, say, one hundred first
class airplanes, properly equipped
and manned, if distributed at differ
ent points In Luzon (the northern
most island), would be able to con-
centrate at any threatened point on
tho coast before the invading troops
could start from the transports to
the shore. The only defense against
our airplanes would be greater air
force possessed by the enemy. But
it must be clear that no country in
the world could compete with US in
building airplancs. The cost to US Of
force of airplanes able to protect
the islands would probably be less
than per cent of the cost of any en-
deavor to recapture them"
Vice-Admiral Kerr and Rear Ad-
miral Fiske agree that the strategi-
cal situation in the Far East, so far
as the United States is concerned,
has been materially affected by the
development of the bombing airplane.
Defense has become easier and i'm
mensely less costly. The threat of
oversea invasions of any sort has
been minimized. We do not have to
think any longer of the protection of
the Philippines in terms Of super
dreadnoughts.
If this view is pressed at the
Washington conference it ought to
be much less difficult to secure recog-
milton of the feasibility of a general
reduction of capital shipbuilding
programs.

Twilight Of the Intellectuals

In much the same way that the
word "tyrant" reversed itself in its
meaning and from describing a
benefcent ruler came at last to
stand for an oppressor, so the word
"intellectuar' has come to mean
something quite different from what
it implies. Henri Barbusse, in his lat.
est book, is trying to restore it tc
it's original meaning. He says:
s'Intellectuals-I mean those who
think, and not the entertainers and
clowns and parasites and profteers
of the intellect--are the men who
seek and point out the thread OF
reason and meaning which runs
through the chaos OF life"
M. Barbusse will barely succeed
in restoring this word to it's rightfu
inheritance; its doom seems already
sealed. The intelligentsia have
brought it into hopeless disrepute
