The Bear as of Old

In announcing the ratification Of
a treaty giving Soviet Russia pre-
ferred rights in Afghanistan, one of
the most important gateways to
India, the Bolsheviki boast that
they have accomplished in two years
what imperial Russia failed to do
in century. They have extended
Russian influence over some of the
most valuable outposts on the Indian
frontier. In the days of the Cars
Afghanistan was much coveted
buffer state. Great Britain sought
to keep out Russian influence be-
cause of the threat to India. Rus
STA sought to dominate it for the
same reason. In Afghanistan is the
Khyber Pass, on the road from
Kabul to Peshawar, in Northern
India. Few passes in the world have
greater strategic Importance. Few
have been the scenes of such
great struggles between various
races. Whoever controls this con-
trolls the northwestern approach to
India.
If this treaty Is no idle boast Of
the sSoviets it is merely another
proof of their utter hypocrisy. Con-
demning Great Britain and Amer
lea as brutal imperialists, they boast
that they have added to the Russian
empire a prize that the Romanoffs
failed to win. Attacking British
government of alien races, they SUBJ
due by brute force the alien people
of the Caucasus, Georgia and Aver
baijan. Denouncing as rank impe-
rialism Great Britains attempt to
come to an understanding with Per-
STA, the Bolsheviki seek to do like
wise there. But now the treaty with
Afghanistan, which, had it been
made by Great Britain, would have
been proof of England's sordid Self
ishness, is hailed as noble achieve
ment of Bolshevik Russia. Where
Nicholas Romanoff failed Nikolai
Lenine has won.
Bat back of all this is a new
orientation of Bolshevik policy.
Abandoning the western portions of
the Russian empire, inhabited nv
alien races-Finland, Esthonia.
'Latvia, Lithuania and Poland-the
Russians are reaching out once more
to the east and reviving the dreams
of a great Asiatie empire. They
covet the wealth of India, they wish
to control the continent of Asia
Perhaps Lenine sees himself as the
Great Khan. whose rule will rival
the days Of Tamerlane and Gheneis

A Bitter Harvest

This is written for the parents of
the more than 100000 children of
New York City who are compelled
to think of the education ard fu-
ture of their boys and girls in terms
Of the public school system. On
Monday morning next, with the
opening of the schools--their
schools, the schools they have paid
through the nose to create and
raintain-these fathers and moth
ers will be brought face to face
with such problem as no genera
ton Of New Workers has ever had
presented to it.
: AS disclosed by an exhaustive in
vestigation conducted by The
Tribune, the results of which were
published yesterday, there is moth
ing left for upward of 100000 of
to-morrow's citizens but the high
ways and byways and back lots of
the town. One hundred and ten
children in every thousand in the
elementary grades must go on part
timei
What is true of the elementary
schools is true of the high schools.
For the first time in the history Of
the Department Of Education such
institutions as Erasmus and Bush
wick High. in Brooklyn, will know
a doubling up of pupils.
In view Of the estimates of in
creased registration the prospective
and unprecedented overcrowding of
the schools this year alarms the
educational authorities. There is
only one solution, and that is more
schools and yet more. But schools
cannot be built overnight, despite
Poor John Hylan's belief that they
can be. -.
The parents of New York City
are about to reap the harvest of
Hylanism which Tammany, with
the assistance Of Mr.. Murphy, of
Good Ground, and Mr.. Hearst, of
Riverside Drive, has been sowing
since 1918.
And bitter, bitter harvest it is
going to be.

British diplomacy Unanswered
for years against Russia in those
countries and finally succeeded in
making treaty, in 1907, whereby
Russia agreed that Afghanistan was
outside her sphere of influence.
On paper it was a, British
triumph, but people harked back to

Bear" written in 1898 after numer-
GUS incidents on the Indian frontier

not as appropriate in 1921 as it

days Of the Doherty brothers. Aus
tralasia next came to the front with
Rrookes and Wilding. and won the
cup four times running--in 1907,
1908, 1909 and 1911---no tourna-
ment being held in 1910.

lack in 1914 and outpointed the
American defenders. Australasia,
with Brookes and Patterson, held on
in 1919 against Great Britain, but
lost to Tilden and Johnston in 1920.
This year Japan appeared in the
challenge round and made a gallant
but Intellectual fight.
There are good years and poor
years in this sport for every COM
peting nation. The American game
seemed to lag in the years be-
fore the war. It was uneven and
not thoroughly rounded. Since the
war, however, it has come to the
top in steadiness and resourceful-
ness, as we'll as in intense driving
power.

grants who have come to Its shores
knew beforehand that they would
have to accommodate themselves
eventually to the use Of English.
They expected to renounce their ma
tlonality. Instead Of having the for
cigners from Vienna or Budapest
come to them and force their cul-
ture or language upon them, they
OF their own free will sought the
new culture and new language of
America.
Herein lies the great difference.
In the case of the immigrant to
America acceptance of the new Gull
ture and language was voluntary.
In the case of the alien races in
Hungary the acceptance of the for
eign language was resented as q
gross constraint.

stood conditions in America he
would have seen that his COMPARE
son was not we'll chosen.

The Davis Cup Victory

The United States recovered the
Davis Cup in 1920 by defeating
Australasia. Last week the Ameri-
can team defeated Japan and re-
tanned this coveted international
trophy. For the first time since the
cup was offered, in 1900, it has been
won twice in succession by Ameri-
can players, who have now carried
the game to a level of all-round ex-
cellence never reached before.
The Davis trophy is an American
trophy, but it has travelled long
abroad. 1t passed out Of American
hands in 1902 and wasn't recap
tured until 1913. British teams
have won it six times, Australasian
teams six times and American
teams only four times. British su-
on the courts was estab-
l..-.hed in 1902 and wasn't over

A Difference.

Is In comparing the imposition Of
]. the Hungarian culture and Ian
skuage upon alien races in Hungary
with Americanization and the
teaching of English in the United
States, Count Paul Tcleki, formerly
Prime Minister of Hungary, has
I. overlooked the most important diff
ference in the two cases. The count,
cwho besides being an able states
man is scholar. of distinction,
merely expresses mistaken point
s'pf view frequently encountered in
Hungary and Austria. !.
It has become customary among
certain authorities in those coun-
tries to point to the United States
as nation where the racial prob
lem is analogous to their own.
Friends of America have marveled
chat assimilation was success in
the United States when it was such
"a failure in Austria-H ungary.
: Those less friendly have predicted
Z that America would soon have all
the racial hatreds of Hungary on
her hands.
s But this point of view overlooks
sthe fact that in Austria and Hun
gary alien elements cherished their
Languages and traditions as natural
right. For Vienna or Budapest to
force German or Magyar upon them
was violation of all the canons Of
nationality. Their ancestors had
lived in the country alongside of
other tribes, and their language was
ms good as the next mans.
America, however, has been since
the foundation of the Republic an
English-speaking nation. Immi-

A War Sick Bulgar
o the Editor Of The Tribune


Sir: The letter of Geneva Red
Cross Worker" in this mornings Trib-
une, showing the never again" atti-
tude of returning German prisoners of
war, might be supplemented by page
from letter from my husband from
Sofia, Bulgaria, which gives an instance
OF the involuntary servitude undergone
by countless thousands of men within
the shifting boundaries Of the Near
Eastern countries. He saws:
Il spilled some ink here n few min
utes ago, and the garcon, that I called
in to clean it up and get me some writ
ing paper told me he had been a British
prisoner of war at Salonica for nine
teen months-191s to 1920. Further
questioning brought out that this man
OF thirty years, who is quite broken
and nervous and working for one dol
lar month and food, once owned
good dry goods store. He is a Mace
DOMAIN Bulgar, fought the bandits. had
been taken into the Turkish army at
the age OF eighteen or nineteen, fought
with the Turks against Italy. fought
with the Bulgars against the Turks and
later against Greece, Serbia and Ru-
mania; served throughout the Big War
and was prisoner for nearly one and
one-half years after the Big War was
over! AS all of this was imposed upon
him, you may imagine that he sneaks
the truth when he says that war is
no good! CLUBWOMAN.

pressed his opinion on the conference
SO clearly He regrets, as we do, that
the government of the United States
have not seen fit to hold the prelim-
mary Pacific conference suggested by
the representatives Of the British en-
pire." His view is that the Washing
ton conference cannot achieve the pur-
pose for which it has been called unless
and until the problems of the Pacific
have been settled.
Crucial Negotiations
We have always urged that general
understanding on these problems
should be attained beforehand, and
when the United States government re-
jected the proposal for preliminary
conference we accepted their point Of
view, not only because they, as the
initiators of the conference, were alore
competent to decide on the arrange
ments, but because it was understood
that the objects that might have been
rapidly attained by prelim mary con-
terence were to be achieved by in
formal consultations between all the
powers concerned. Mr. Hughes dis
plays, in regard to the success of the
conference, certain pessimism which
we hope Is unfounded. The prelimi-
nary conference of which he speaks is
out of the question now Everything
turns on the question whether the
same or similar results will be achieved
by the informal preliminary consulta-
tions which the Washington conference
place in the forefront of their ar
rangement. Are those negotiations pro-
ceeding, and are they proceeding sue
cessfully? 1t would be of the greatest
Importance if the public could be re-
assured on this point.

The Art of the Negro Race


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Readers of The Tribune will
be interested in knowing that there is
on exhibition at the New York Public
Library, 103 West 1S5th Street,
unique collection Of negro works of
art. Among the pieces displayed are
paintings, drawings, etchings and
work in sculpture. There are also
some rare books produced by negroes
during the days of American slavery.
and others of historic and racial value
written by black men of America and
other countries. Prints, photographs
and drawings of negroes depicting
scenes in their life during slavery are
not among the least interesting parts
OF the exhibit, while those which por-
tray eminent negroes of the past make
possible wealth of knowledge to
those who seek to understand negro
leadership and penetrate the negro
mind.
There is small exhibit of distinc-
1--WE AFRICAN pleces-weavlng, carving
and painting which, though interesting
In themselves and of real artistic
value, serve perhaps as background to q
truer appreciation of the result of con-
temporary artistic effort on the part
of negroes.
5 Considerable effort has been put
forth to obtain for this exhibition that
which one sees there. The catalogue of
the exhibit is itself work of art,
and to be in the atmosphere of what
it sets forth is to commune with some
of the best expression of the negro
race Those interested in art because
it is art, and those interested in it for
what it tells about people, should see
this very high class collection.

The Unemployed

The report of the Department of
Labor that in August decrease in
unemployment occurred is calcu-
lated to undo some of the harm
flowing from another set of figures
recently published by the de-
spartment.
It will be recalled that this
8 department mentioned the total
5 $3.50, 900 in it's computation. The
report pointed out that this estimate
was based merely on an examina-
ton Of the books of approximately
"a thousand large concerns, and that
1T did not necessarily follow that
the percentage of decrease applied
: In the whole country. And it also
: pointed out that no account was
taken of the fact that many laid off
had found other employment. These
things and others suggested that the
estimate was probably worthless.
But the damage was done. The ex-
,aggeration was afoot.
From one end Of the coun-
try to the other has swept
the statement that the official
+ estimate is that the unemployed
number nearly 100000. Every
apostle Of discomfort is exploiting
it. It is the war cry of all who had
some pet theory to sell. Those are
LOUDLY vocal who have so little
sympathy with the troubles Of the
public that they would make them
worse. A reckless exaggeration
is manning the optimism which must
exist if conditions are to be
bettered. Seldom has there been q
/, more wanton injury than that in
= fficted by the foolish statisticians of
Washington, who never stopped to
: consider how their table would be
interpreted, even though the &C
eompanying fine print explained
how it was made up.
There are not 5000, 900 unem-
ployed in this country-probably
not more than half this number.
ssHundreds- of thousands of women
and girls, lured into industry, have
returned to their former occupa-
tons. In the rural regions, which
furnish employment to nearly half
our labor army, there is little ex-
.sCess Of help. There is positive in
grease in employment in the build
ing trades, and more automobiles
are running about than ever before.
ssThe silk-shirt period may have
passed, but it should not be
: mourned for. Such an increase in
savings bank deposits as the last
report showed is better.
!. That normal conditions have not
been wholly resstablished is, of
: course, patent. The readjustment
OF prices is not complete, and until
1t is deterrent influence will be at
'-Et work. So there is call for courage
and generosity, for thrift and fell
low feeling, but that person is no
friend to the unemployed who
wears longer face than the facts
Justify and who bemoans what he
calls the appalling conditions whose
/ early coming he foresees.

Wilson in 1875
Reader Foresces The Tribune Praisiins
Him as Phrase Maker


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In three consecutive columns
of the editorial page Of The Tribune
for September there occurs an inter.
esting journalistic sequence.
Beginning with the fourth column,
one finds two letters commendatory Of
The Tribune's recent editorial "A
Shadow on Justice" That splendid
editorial cannot be too hearty
praised. 1t was in The Tribune's best
vein, vindicatory of its name in the
old Roman sense-The Tribune, the
guardian of the peoples interest.
In the third column is mastery
appreciation of jefferson Davis. THE
Davis Monument is a fine thing, said
in a fine and handsome way. 1t is an
achievement in just criticism that
does honor to American journalism.
But in column two there is q
shadow on The Tribuness Justice. In
the editorial on the coming conferencs
to limit armament there appears one
OF those near. diurnal pronouncements
upon Mr.. Wilson that look so in
congruous coming from any but 8
Hearstian source. One reads: Much
of the harm of Mr.. Wilson's catch
words lay in the fact that they were
delusive. They sounded well, but
raised false hopes ;"
l submit, Mr.. Editor, that this Is
not in keeping with the tone of your
words on Mr.. Davis. Considering the
fact that The Tribune made vigorous
use of those same 'scatchwords9 during
the war (and I, for one, through The
Tribune, drank deep at that source Of
inspiration), is it seemly that nothing
generous is now said concerning the
man who uttered them? Is there
nothing praiseworthy in his adherence
to his ideas of right? Is it really be-
iievabie that all was mere obstructive
ness" and "stubbornness"? Can no
benefit of doubt be accorded?
| prefer to imagine Tribune edi-
torial of, say, 1875, when Mr. Wilson's
work will have been placed in true
perspective by time, as is Mr.. Daviss
now. 1t might we'll run: Much OF
Mr.. Wilson's power lay in his capacity
to phrase, with lightning fash and
force, the aspirations of humanity.
With this talent he fused a nations
chaotic sentiments into single burn
ing purpose, and Americas war efors
took on many of the aspects Of
popular crusade. He suffered in his
way from the reaction of impatiencs
and discredit that overtakes all strong
characters who dare TO express and
execute the deep ethical hopes Of
humanity. Those hopes were inca
pable of fulfillment in his day, but it is
to the imperishable glory of Ameries
that one of her Presidents gave them
yet another wording"
believe that more of the spirit Of
justice that pervades your editorial
on Mr.. Davis would have hsstensd
reconciliation after the Civil War, !
believe more of it now would Gloss
the ugly divisions of American though
that have marred the postwar period
Certainly such spirit would help 70
secure the Senatorial support neees-
sary to make Mr.. Earding's conference
a success, q contamination dsvcutv
wished by all good Americans.

The Coming ou,er

THE WORLD RULER
Within the workshop Of tho world Our
Lord His earth designed.
The elements together chimed. ac-
complishinG His plan.
The Masters hands the mountains
raised; His breath awoke the
wind.
Oh, craftsmanlike He finished 1t and
~ gave 1t all to mani g
The crystal streams unbridled ran to
seek the virgin seas;
The meadows stretched from hill to
hin, unmarked by welt OF scar;
And wakened by the clsmor of the
young, untainted breeze,
The trcstops sang magnifcats to
greet the morning star.
So man took up the gift He gave, and
broke 1t to his will,
The crippled streams to seaward took
a stinking, fearful load;
The meadows, shackled, bore him
bread; .he tore apart the hill;.
He filled the placid skies with smoke,
where once the clean winds rode.
He cluttered up the countryside with
papers from his food;
He left, as mark that there hs ate,
che flask and rustinE can;
By black and barren acres where the
forest trees once stood
The tale was told of fires he built and
how, unleashed, they ran.
A hundred million trees he slew, and
whers he placed his feet
Tho bramble and the sumac grew to
mock the fallen pine;
He found a path where flowers
dreamed; he made swarming
street
And beloved to the tainted skies:
Behold, the world is mine!"
Within the workshop of the worlds,
0 wise and patient Lord,
Within the forge fires Of the sun
You fused and made our earth.
Oh, send US Eden's angel back to
stand with flaming sword
To keep Your gift and guard Your
gift until we learn it's worth.
