At last Central Park seems to be q
popular theatre neighborhood. AL
ready two playhouses face its
stretches. The Century Theatre has
dominated the lower blocks of Cen.
tral Park West for more than a dec
ade. Now there is the Jolson The
atre at Seventh avenue. Separated
from it only by Columbus Circle, the
Park Theatre overlooks the Broad
way entrance to the park. Thus New
York has advanced northward so far
as to make the Central Park an
amusement region.
The Garrick Theatre now marks
the southern end Of the Punch and
Judy zone. A few blocks further
north is the Knickerbocker, which
seemed only short time ago In the
heart of the amusement belt. The
Metropolitan Opera House will con.
tinue for long time to impart to
this region its present character. In
the region south of Forty-second
street there are playhouses on every
side: But larger proportion of New
York's sixty producing theatres clus
ter in the side streets to the north.
1t means nothing to say that
northward the cart Of Thespis takes
its course. Everything moves north.
ward on Manhattan Island. II the
course of amusements swerves at all
It is to the west. With the excep.
tion of the Garden Theatre. which
now serves only various exotic pur,
poses, the East Side theatre Of the
best class remains unknown. There
the original Lyceum Theatre existed
near Madison Square prosperously
and artistically for some years
When the neighborhood gave up art
however, and went into trade the ex
pertinent of a playhouse on that side
of the town was not repeated.
Lexington avenue was not without
its theatrical experiment. The career
of the Murray Hill Theatre, however
has not been distinguished. The
vaudeville theatres that have flour
ished on the East Side may be ex
planned, as the appeal Of vaudeville is
local. 1t is in almost every case O
neighborhood enterprise. 1t seems t.
be decreed that amusements in this
city, however far north they may
move, will never look to the east.

Vas the New York Baseball Fans
Price Limit Been Passed!

To THE New YORK HERALD: I note
IN your paper a paragraph in regard to
ne surprisingly small attendance at the
world series opening game which ends
ny saying, Let somebody else explain
It."
The answer is obvious. There is a
limit even for New Yorks real base
ball fans; $3.50 is past the limit, 400
per cent. increase over grand stand seats
for regular games, and I predict that
before the end of the series this fact
will be more and more impressed upon
the thigh price advocates.

War Time Spenders Cannot Buy and
Others Will Not.

To THE New York HERALD: There
seems to be a fog around what many
believe to be one Of the principal causes
for unemployment. II. indeed. 1t Is not
the keystone OF the situation.
Organized labor received good wages
before the war. During the war labor
went on strike time and again, getting
higher wages and shorter hours until
the house OF cards tumbled. After the
armistice and the war emergency had
ceased labor still went on strike ana 10
continuing to strike to this day. The
cost Of materials has come down con-
s.derably and the cost of money, or the
interest rate. has come down to the low
est In about two years.
The great mass Of the common people,
wage earners all. clerks and small mer-
chants. are patiently waiting for retail
prices to come down to point where
they will compare favorably with the
cost of materials and money. But re-
tail prices are out of proportion to ma
teriai prices ana are the cause OF much
OF the stagnation In business.
Tho greatest single element In the
average cost of commodities Is labor.
Once upon time labor got war wages
Labor still wants war wages, which
naturally cause high retail prices-in
fact. too high to produce any great vol
ume of sales.
Those on the buying side Of the
counter are divided largely into two
great classes. One class Is composed
OF those who never were fortunate
enough to receive any appreciable part
in the war wages game. They have
tired Of paying war prices and without
any union or other organization have
simply gone on buyers strike. The
other class received war wages Of from
81 to $1.50 an hour and even more for
overtime, and they took care to see that
there was plenty Of that. When the
going was good they bought player
pianos. phonograrhs. automobiles, silk
'hirts. jewelry. furs and other things
beyond their means, and as class to-
day are bankrupt. And. so far as trade
Is concerned. they are about In the same
situation as the other class. on q buy
ers' strike, because they have to be. One
class will not and the other class cam
not.
AS typical example Of low cost Of
materials and high cost Of labor take
painting. The cost Of white lead, oil
and turpentine Is reasonably near pre-
war levels, but paint Is the smaller part
of the cost Of painting. The result Is
that everywhere one can see buildings
suffering from deterioration for lack Of
painting.
If the labor strikers eat snowballs
this winter who will be to blame? Ask
Gompers. he knows. e. J. e.

Japan's Far East Plans.

The reason for Japan's insistence
upon her policy Of control In China
and OF expansion in Siberia and for
her resentment at what she called
the interference of the United States
with her Far East designs is sue
cinctly stated in the article published
to-day from the staff correspondent
Of THE New YORK HERALD, wherein
he explains one of the great prob.
lens confronting the Mikados Gov.
ernment. For her excess of popula.
tion she must have land, for her
manufactures and industries she
must have raw material. The arabic
land Of her own islands is limited
in productive possibilities, her min
eral resources are practically negli-
gible and the great bulk of her raw
material must come from other
countries.
Mr.. SEIBoLD gives to Japan full
laeasure Of credit for the services
which she rendered to the allied ma.
tions in the world war. He points
out. however. that she suffered less
from the wars effect than any of the
other Allies and that she profited to
much the same extent as did the two
neutral nations Holland and Spain.
But more important to Japan than
these temporary considerations are
"the actual benefits of a tangible
character and potential advantages
that insured her control over Far
Eastern affairs, both during the war
and afterward."
Japan established herself In Shan.
tung when Its defences after five
weeks of resistance fell. The award
Of the territory by the Versailles
treaty aroused such worldwide
sympathy for China that japan as.
serted her willingness to restore
Shantung to China upon the compile.
tion OF negotiations between the Chi.
nese and Japanese Governments. No
decisive step has been taken by ia.
pan to carry out this obligation. The
impression prevails at TOXIC, says
Mr.. SErBoLD, that Japan has no i'm
mediate intent Of surrendering this
territory until her scheme OF exploit.
ing has advanced to a stage which

According to the evidence there
were also issued for Car 100 tires
and tubes from the Police Depart
ment storehouse, valued at $444.90.
The remainder Of the s3.693.14 was
spent for gasolene and oil.
Those were the figures brought to
the legislative investigating COM
mittee from Mayor HYLAN's own
Police Department records. They
came out last Tuesday. Not until
Thursday, so far as we are aware,
did Mayor HYLAN utter any denial
Of the charge that he had kept
his private car at the expense of the
city. And then his denial, slyly but
stupidity framed, merely insists that
no city mechanics" worked on his

Federal Judges Niggardly Pay.

Salaries of $4,000 year for Jus.
tices of the Supreme Court and $685.
600 for Judges of the lower United
States courts are urged by HENRY
FORD, who ought to know what the
services Of men Of ability, character
and achievement are worth under
the measuring stick which applies in
this practical world to everything
else. With his genius, Judgment and
work HENRY FORD has made an in
comparable success in producing and
selling cheap motor cars where so
many others engaged in the industry
with the production of dearer cars
have failed.
His own financial returns have
been stupendous, but HENRY FORD,
with all the value that his own lead
ership and success are to his indus
try and to the whole country, knows
what able men associated with him
are worth by the standards which
mark the difference everywhere be-
tween men who do their work we'll
and men who do their work indiffer-
emily. That the same rule should
not hold on the bench is a wrong
which ought to be denounced by men
like HENRY FORD.
1t would be absurd to say that the
kind of man who almost uniformly
is picked for the Supreme Court
would deviate from the path Of rec
titude and honor because of the in
adequacy Of his pay. HENRY FORD
does not mean anything Of that sort.
Inherent honesty is honest at $1,000
year or s1,000,000 year. And in
any decision he might make the Fed
eral Judge Of parts and principles
would not be likely to fear what
powerful men, interests, political ma
chimes or other organizations might
try to do to him for giving such de-
cision. That is not the point at all.
The point about underpaying.
grossly underpaying, deserving
Judges is the indignity of rating
them lower In the salary scale than
men of very ordinary capacity and
standing. 1t Is a striking fact that
until few years ago the salaries of
learned and devoted Judges of the
district courts of the United States
were about on par with the pres
ent earnings of milk wagon drivers
in New York city. The danger of
such a situation Is that men compe-
tent to be fine Judges and also capa-
BILE of earning suitable incomes in
private life will refuse to take the
judicial posts to the hardship and
privation Of their families.
II HENRY FORD will drag out into
the light of publicity all the con-
crete examples he could find in the
lower industries and trades Of me-
chanics' bulging pay envelopes he
might shame the American public
for its niggardly reward of those
on the Federal bench.
