DECLARES MT. VERNON OPER-
ATED FOR PROFIT.


To the Editor, The washinFton Herald:
l was so much pleased with the
EDITORIAL on the Mt. Vernon situa-
tion that l would have written 10
congratulate the writer Of the ar
ticle except for illness intervening.
This morning I noticed Mr. WI
llams letter in your omen conn,
column on the same subiec, and
wonder who he is or what h;S co,-
nection is. or what his interest is
which makes him rush to the from
in defense of conditions Of which he
is evidently ignorant.
The writer was a witness before
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sloner IN the case of Bitter VS.. The
Mt vernon & Alexandria Railroad
Company, in which il was developed
that Mt. Vernon was not onlS rpn
for proht, but that the MANAGEMENT,
in conjunction with that O. the
railway company and the steamboat
company. which carry passengers to
Mt. Vernon. was actually charrinr
tourists twice the rates Of fare paid
by local patrons. and sharing that
excess between the transportation
companies and the mans nsgement of
Mt. Vernon. They had accumulated
at that time something like $780,
600 Of surplus, which is probably
SSoo.ooo at this writing.
The ruling OF the commissioner in
that case was that the existing fare
OF IS cents a round trip TO the gates
of Mt. Vernon C40 cents Of which
concerned the three-fourths mile
nearest the gate. and 35 cents of
which concerned the lax miles be-
tween that point and the avenue in
Washington should be reduced 10
50 cents, and II was so done.
The writer suggested as a com
promise of interest that they
should open a roadway from their
wharf to the railroad station
through Mount Vernon. Including
the tomb Of Washington and make
that free to all the public. all the
time. retaining the present privi-
lege of charging for the exhibits
in the home of Washington so as
to maintain their organization just
as now.
The writer's experience with pub
lie utilities makes him believe that
such a course would pay the man.
.dESment Detter tndn lne present
one in actual receipts and have the
immense advantage of removing
the present stigma of charging a
fee for exhibiting the tomb of
Washington and making the for
eign tourist pay that fee before he
can see the tomb Of the father of
this country.
If Mount Vernon Is not run for
profit, why have they found IL nee
essary to exhibit false relics Of
Washington, like the coach, for In
stance. which has been exposed by
the secretary of the Washington
Historical Society. Washington
never saw that coach and IL would
attract just as much interest as a
type of coach used in colonial
times II the name Of its real owner
was given.
The writer would like to ask Mr..
Williams whether he is enough on
the inside to know how large the
surplus fund of the Mount Vernon
organization is at present, and
whether he has any objection TO
publishing the amount for the bene-
At Of this discussion.
Very respectfully.

OPPOSE REVISION OF GRECO
TURK TREATY.

TtbN TREATY.
March 2. 1921.
To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
At-the London Conference the al
lies are making an attempt to re-
wise the Turkish treaty at the ex,
pense of Greece on account of the
return of Constantine to the Greek
throne. The friends of the Greek
race everywhere believe that the al
ii plan to punish a nation on ac-
count of an undesirable king.
Thrace and Smyrna were awarded
to Greece at the Peace Conference
on the basis of a Greek majority.
The Greeks of Thrace and Smyrna
have always been ,pro-ally. have
fought in the ranks of the allied
armies, have sustained appalling
losses in massacres at the hands of
the Turks, and are decidedly against
Constantine. II Thraee and Smyrna
are returned to the Turks, the world
will without fail witness another
Armenian tragedy in the face of all
T. -kish promises and all European
guarantees.
The allies claim to have failed to
enforce the Treaty of Sevres upon
ooHuit, heEldl HOW VIII tney De
in position to put a revised Turk
ish treaty upon the Greek race
without armed coercion, which will
precipitate new wars in the Near
East, and dangerous international
complications?
The Greek people are awakening
to their error in the recent elections
and are preparing to induce Con-
8 .ntine to abdicate. The objection
of the allies to Constantine will
thus be met by the Greeks them
selves. II the allies refuse recog-
milton to Constantine a little while
longer, the Greek question will be
settled right, and European diplo-
macy will be spared the opprobrium
of having scrapped a just treaty ana
of having violated traditional
policy of never surrendering liber-
ated Christian peoples to Mohamme-
dan ruthlessness.

Is World Losing It's ReliEienf
To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
A recent newspaper article hints
that the world is losing its religion.
This seems to be a movement two
ways. As the agnostics, atheists,
ETC., appear there springs. up an
ultra religious class who assume to
themselves the right to dictate, and
who. generally, in their zeal try
to force their opinions by legal
means. Being enthusiastic, even
though in a vast minority, they
carry certain points by virtue of
the apathy of the others. This,
however, does not explain the fail
ures of religions There must be
something fundamentally wrong.
They all start with a pre-existent
creator of supreme power, they
wind up in a heaven or a beyond.
Vast as the universe is science runs
down the. whole mechanism of II
to the point Of time, matter and
force. The eternal trinity, creation
is present but not a personal
creator.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS.

President Harding's inaugural ad-
dress is pre-eminently a dedication
of his mind and his heart with mod
est humility and humble reverence
to pure. undiluted Americanism, in
which his simple thought is not oh
scured by the tawdry rhetoric
wherein il is sometimes clothed. His
devotion to the institutions of his
country is secure. His faith in
the purpose and conscience Of the
patton is serene. His confidence in
the responsibility of his fellow
citizens is unallcyed.
All this President Harding re-
veals in his solemnly expressed re-
lance on divine guidance, his un-
affected belief in the lasting tri-
umph Of the republic and his earn
est petition for the support of his
countrymen.
And let IL be said at the start that
with this utterance of the new Ex-
ecutive of the nation the last glim-
mering ember of hope of those who
nave yearned somehow to juggle
this country into the League of Ma
tions dies. He puts the league and
the covenant away from him un-

lects definitely any scmblance of
