Clippers.
Spacious Days Of the Great Ships Of
the United States.

The United States Shipping Board.
From 1912 on, throughout the next
fifty years. IL there was one character
istic that contributed more than any
other to the unsurpassed position In
the maritime world attained by the
American merchant marine Of that era.
II was that OF speed.
And TO understand that special attri-
butte OF Yankee shipping one must per-
haps turn primarily to that other word.

those early Baltimore privateers. A
matter of hull construction purely. not
of rig. There Is no such thing as n
clipper rig, but there was such thing
as a clipper hull and bow to be evolved.

TO be argued over and tested. The first
real clippers very experimental. not too
successful perhaps. but nevertheless the

In 1920. 1880. 1s4o. the golden age

the Atlantic seaboard the American
merchant fleets were sailing. to Europe,
TO South America. to Africa, to the
mysterious East carrying the nag and
the glory OF Yankee shipping to the ut
termost parts Of the world.
Meanwhile. back and forth across the
Atlantic the great packet ships were

A Needless Tragedy.

That an incident such as is de-
scribed in the subjoined extract from
THE Sun Of Monday should have oc-
Cured in rich and generous New
York city is to be attributed only to
pride or to ignorance:
Exhausted from lack Of food and
his prolonged search for a place in
his plumbing trade, ARTHUR CHAL-
LIS, 23 years old, world war vet
eran, Of 254 West Twenty-frst street,
fell in front Of the house at 1913
Third avenue. To a policeman who
went to his aid he explained that he
was starving. At Bellevue Hospital
his sickness was diagnosed as the re-
suit of starvation and exhaustion"
There is enough and to spare Of
food in New York. There are dozens
Of agencies, official and private, to
bring the hungry man or woman and
the necessaries Of life together: yet
occasionally case like that of CHAL-
LIS shocks the community into recog-
milton of the fact that the machinery
provided to care for those who are
down on their luck cannot automati-
cally identify those who deserve and
should have aid.
1t is probable that CHAILIs will
turn out to be one of those obsti-
nate men who would rather starve
themselves into a hospital than ac-
cept charity. Their spirit Is COM
mendable, though they spend their
strength foolishly. They have valid
claim on the funds put aside for the
relief of distress and they should
seek help before their strength is en-
tirely gone.
However, there is no use telling
such men what they should do. They
will do as they please, being stiff
necked by nature. The only thing
the public can accomplish to relieve
their lot is to improve the instru-
for the detection of hon.
est want. and Improvement in them
is unquestionably in progress.

The New Theatre Method.

Announcements as to the coming
season make it plain that there is 10
be extended trial OF a new kind OF
theatre direction. Up to date II has
been disclosed that six organizations
will undertake the management of
theatres for an indefinite period or
produce new plays under special con-
ditions. These guilds, unions. socie-
ties and variously named associations
will thus take the place Of CONNER
cial managers in several cases. Some
OF the organizations are composed Of
actors; in one case actors and play
wrights have united, and another
group is made up entirely OF drama
lists. All have outlined their pro-
grammes and will be active factors
in the business of amusements here
next winter.
The success Of the Theatre Guild
has had an important influence in
inspiring these organizations. The
men who conduct the affairs of the
Garrick Theatre, the home OF the
Theatre G.lild, have found CONNER.
cial managers glad to carry on their
enterprises when artistic rules com.
Isfied the ending of the season in
their own theatre. The subscribers
are entitled TO see five new plays
every year, so there is a necessary
limit to the run of each production.
But other theatres have always
opened their doors Hospitality to the
productions of the Theatre Guild.
The powers in control Of this ex.
pertinent in impresarioship are to
be called amateurs only in the sense
that they are not managers of some
years standing. They are not, how

Harding's Railroad Message.

President HARDING's message to
Congress asks for power to negotiate
with and through the War Finance
Corporation railroad securities which
the national Government holds. He
wants to raise money on them.
The work of funding the debt Of
the roads to the Government for per-
manent improvements made during
the war already is provided for; it is
and has been going on steadily. No
more authority is needed to do
that.
But the Government owes the roads
on operating and damage account a
great deal of money, which it has
not the cash to pay. 1t does not
want Congress to do any more tax
ing for such purposes. 1t does not
want Congress to appropriate more
funds for such purposes. 1t does not
want to put any more burdens of any
sort on the national Treasury for
such purposes.
So If the Government can negotiate
some of the railway securities held
by the Federal Railroad Administra-
tion the money can be raised at once
to give the roads what is due them
without draining the Treasury of a
penny or putting an ounce Of load
on the Government. This will expe-
dite the full settlement of the car
riers' claims against the Railroad
Administration; il will enable them
to settle private accounts long over
due for materials, supplies and equip
ments; it will permit them to go into
the general markets to buy what they
still need and thus give big i'm
petus to the revival of American in
dustry and business.
1t is good business for the Govern
ment. 1t is better business for the
Government than for the roads, be-
cause to get the quick settlements
they are compromising their heavy
claims.
Congress cannot be willing to with
hold this power from the Federal
Railroad Administration and the War
Finance Corporation without being
willing to retard the country's going
back to work-and neither Congress
nor anybody else wants to do that.
The War Finance Corporation pro-
gramme, therefore, should go through
in short order, and when it does
indeed. even as soon as it is as
sured of going through-the work Of
railroad reconstruction should get
under way, with all that this means
to American labor, industry and
business.
Further legitimate financing of the
farmers through the War Finance
Corporation also is asked by the
President. The two propositions tied
up in the same bundle, as it were,
ought not to fare any the worse for
that in Congress.

A Wall Is a Wall.

FREDERIC p. SMALL, vice-president
Of the American Express Company,
comes back from the Orient with a
statement which has direct bear
ing on the American valuation sys-
tenn proposed for our tariff, as fol-
lows.
Through the port of Dairen
Japan is exporting goods in her own
ships to every country in the world.
They are working hard and we shall
have to look alive If we expect to
maintain our position in the competi-
tion."
Japan with her coolie crews can
operate her ships more cheaply than
any other great maritime nation.
With her cheap labor she can manu-
facture many lines OF goods not only
below the cost Of American produc-
tion but below the costs Of other in
dustrial countries. She can buy raw
cotton in the United States, put 1t in
her ships, carry it over to her indus
tries, run 1t through her mills, put It
In her ships again as the finished
product, carry it back to the United
States and sell it here under our in
dustrial noses for less than we can
sell ours, with the cotton grown In
our own fields, with the material run
through our own machinery and with
no overseas freight rates to pay.
Japan, when world exchange rates
are anything like normal, can do the
same thing in South America. She
can do 1t against us, she can do it
against Great Britain, she can do it
against the Continent. Some one may
say that IL Japan takes our raw cot
ton and captures the international
markets for cotton goods what diff
ference does it make to us whether
we sell II to japan or to the various
other industrial countries? 1t makes
all the difference in the world. ia
pan never will buy other goods from
us in return, never can buy them
from us, as countries whose people
are more like ours in their natures,
their tastes and their needs can buy
from us and do buy from us.
We not only have to save our own
home market from cutthroat competi-
tion, we have to save our market, in
such articles as we require from
abroad and are glad to take from
abroad, for the countries which nat
urally are our biggest and best Gus
toners. If Japan or another trader
drives them out OF their selling
chances here, Japan or such other
kills their power to buy here.
What Is true as to this cutthroat
competition of the lowest foreign
labor costs is true as to the cutthroat
competition OF the countries of the
most debased exchanges. Japan's ex-
change, as 1t happens, is not so very
far away from parity with ours. She
does not need that advantage to un-
dersell US, Great Britain and the
scandinavian countries in the great
world markets. Her murderously low
labor costs are sufficient.
But another country, perhaps
Germany whose currency has
slight value; perhaps an Austria, a
Poland. Czecho.Slovakia, whose pa
per money is worth nothing at all,
will thereby have like competitive
strangle hold on the country which
pays for its labor at home and pays
for its materials at home in money
that has value.

To a Man to Retire.
Don't, Unless You Know What to DO,
Is Philosophers Advice.

To THE New YORK HERALD: AS TO
the case of the man who. having $S,ooo
a year, wishes to retire and asks ad-
vice about how to pass him time. let
me say this: Any man who has TO
ask advice about that should not re-
tire. He would surely regret It.
The only man who can retire with
safety Is he who has clearly defined
idea Of what he is going to do with
himself, and even he may be sorry.
1t is often asked when a man
should retire. Generally speaking
should say when his legs won't carry
him around or he cannot get up In
the morning. WARNING VOICE.
