A Bit of Figuring

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The article in to-dsy's issW
on partial tax exemptions on new
buildings would indicate an editorlai
belief in such a regulation as stimuia'
tive of new housing. Oh, the literary
ineptitude in matters mathematical!
One man builds a house in 1913 ~
cost of $4,000 and is paying about
s137.5o a year in taxes on it. Another
man is to build exactly the same sof'
of house in 1921 for about sl2,50o, snd
with his $4,000 exemption is 20 pay
s2o6.25 year in taxes; 2.75 per cent
on $7,50o! At the end of his ten-year
term Of tax exemption he will have
paid about SToo more in taxes than the
other man and the house which costs
$12,5oD may not be worth a cent mofs
than the one which cost $4,000; TO ssy
nothing at al about the difference in
the interest for ten years on $1,000 ana
on S12,5o0. FLEMING JENKINS.

Frances Marshals

France has raised three more of
her generals to the rank of mar
shall. All richly deserve the honor.
Franchet d'Esperey commanded the
9th Army at the Battle of the
Marne, and was later at the head of
other armies and groups Of armies.
In 1918 he was made commander in
Chief Of the Allied forces in the
Balkans and organized the campaign
which broke the Teuton front in
Macedonia and put Bulgaria but of
the war D'Esperey was the first
Allied chief to dictate arnistice
terms to one Of the enemy countries.
Lyautey did not fight on the Eu-
ropean front. He was Minister of
War for time in the BRAND Cabi-
net, but found the post irksome. He
had pacified Morocco and supplied
France with an invaluable body of
native troops. He returned to
Morocco from Paris, and is recog-
nized as frances most brilliant and
successful colonial administrator
General Fayolle, modest soldier.
who recently visited the United
States, didn't attract much ~atten-
ton outside of France during the
war. But that wasn't his fault. He
was one of the most competent of
French leaders. He had two armies
under him in the Battle of the
Somme, and was from that time on
an army group commander, used in
difficult situations. He is military
student and fighter of the highest
French type.
In 1870-'71, as Foch says sadly
in his military studies, the French
had unlearned the art of war. They
had become empiricists and oppor-
tunists and had ceased to study
Napoleon. On the other hand, the
Germans, though they hadn't prac-
ticed war from 1916 to 1S66-the
little ruction with Denmark excepted
Came into the field grounded in
strategy and tactics. They had
mastered the principles of war be-
fore making it.
France learned her lesson, al
though slowly. Under Foch chiefly
new spirit was brought into the
Ecole de Guerre. When 1914 came
the men competent to lead were
available, though not all of them had
yet come to general notice. Joffre,
Foch, Petain, d'Esperey, Lyautey
and Fayolle form q group eclipsing
any similar group in Germany. If
Gallieni had lived he would have
been entitled to marshalship. And
de Castelnau may also be added to
the galaxy. These men became

A 3 Per Cent immigration Bar

The appearance here of typhus
fever has broken the Congress jam
so far as the immigration legislation
is concerned. The Senate held up
the Johnson one-year exclusion bill
for nearly three months. On Satur-
day it hurriedly passed substitute
which Mr.. Johnson thinks he can
accept. Under this bill there will be
no general suspension. but restric-
tions will be imposed which will
keep the inflow from Europe and
what was formerly Turkey in Asia
down to perhaps 100000 admissions
year.
The Dillingham; measure adopted
by the Senate Immigration Com
mittee imposed a percentage test.
immigration from any European
country was to be limited to per
cent a year of the number Of resi-
dents here of the same origin,
whether still aliens or naturalized
citizens. The Senate cut the per-
centage from five to three. On the
basis of the 1910 census returns,
which must be used until the 1920
tabulations are completed, the coun-
tries of northwestern Europe would
be entitled to 202,212 admissions
annually. The rest of Europe, in
Guiding what was formerly Turkey
in Asia, would be entitled to 1882
admissions. Between 1910 and 1914
the average annual immigration
from northwestern Europe was 1872
$50, 10000 less than the quota fixed
by the Senate bill. 1t ran much
lower after the war started. The
average annual immigration from
the rest of Europe was 1862. 1t
may not exceed 153 $40 under the
Senate bill, and will probably go
lower because of increased hazards
Of passage and entry. Only the
other day Italy put ban on Cen
trail European immigration to this
country through the Port of Trieste.
The aim Of the Senate committee
has been to strike near balance in
immigration and to tighten the bur-
dens of assimilation. Aliens from
northwestern Europe are more easily
Americanized. They distribute them
selves better in industry. They are
more amenable to American ideas.
A total stoppage Of immigration is
economically undesirable. Selective
immigration is promising expert
ment, because it at least approaches
difficult problem scientifically. The
House can well afford to concur in
the Senate's substitute, since the
latter halts immigration sufficiently
and at the same time turns the de-
creased volume into safer channels.

The Yale Pre- eidency

The trustees of the Yale Corpora
tion have shown courage and intelli-
gence in choosing DE. James Row
land Angel for the presidency of the
university. There will be natural
regret among Yale alumni that the
office should go to "A graduate of
other universities. But looking to
larger considerations there will be
wide and hearty approval.
What Yale does concerns the
whole community, the whole nation,
for it draws its students from coast
to coast and wields an influence in
every field of endeavor For such a
university the trustees did right to
seek the best and fittest, regardless
of local sentiment or smaller reasons
of policy. They have plainly ap-
preached the problem with open
minds. In DR.. Angel they found
an extraordinary combination of
qualities peculiarly fitting him for
the leadership of great American
university. The union of scholar
ship with executive ability is a rare
one. Obviously the trustees need
not have gone so far from home for
equal ability in either field. 1t is no
reflection on the special gifts of the
other candidates considered that the
trustees view DR.. Angel as uniting
the needed qualities as no other can
didate did.
DR. Angel is spoken of in the dis
patches as Harvard graduate, but
his undergraduate years were passed
at the University Of Michigan and
the bulk of his postgraduate work
was done in Europe. In describing
him as "a Western man thoroughly
familiar with Eastern ideals" Presi-
dent Hadley accurately character
lied his educational point of view.
1t is an admirable outlook for the
head of an Eastern institution. Of
late years creative leadership in edu-
catlonal matters has largely de-
veloped in the West. DR.. Angel,
through inheritance and a rich and
varied experience, will bring to Yale
the wisdom of the new and the old.
tie is an outstanding figure and edu-
Gator of the first rank, and Yale is
to be heartily congratulated upon
this wise settlement of difficult
problem.
New-York tribune., 1921-02-21

of reason is given to the argument
made by New Jersey interests be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission that there should be d
terminal cost differential against
New York City. River lighterage
is overcostly, and lighterage charges
would count heavily against us if
the commission should be. moved
from its present judgment that the
whole harbor district here is in fact
one port.
The joint port authority could put
into effect plans prepared by the
Port and Harbor Development Com
mission for a reduction of the pres
ent waste in handling freight in
tended for Manhattan. Distribution
tolls here are excessive and go di-
rectly into local living costs. AS a
port and a consuming and manu-
featuring center New York is under
a grievous handicap. This can be
lifted only by undermining our
terminal system. The first step to-
ward such modernization is a pool
ing of all the port districts re-
sources. Cooperation in this field
will help us enormously. 1t will also
help our neighbors across the Hud-
son by making available our aid in
developing, to mutual benefit, their
very important section of the joint
harbor's area.

Old Irish Romance
Apropos of an Allusion to "Deirdre
of the Sorrows


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There was an allusion in your
columns lately by a correspondent who
wrote elaborately Of Mrs. O'Shea and
Parnell to "Deirdre Of the Sorrows"
used in such a way by the writer that
it seemed he had acquired the notion
that Deirdre was one of the symbolic
per sonifications of Ireland!
This famous heroine of one of the
most familiar and beautiful of the old
Irish romances, one rendered into cas-
steal form in the ancient texts genera
tions ago, told and retold by mora mod
ern poets and familiar to all scholass
and men of letters, was never signif-
| cant of any such thing as the persona
fication of Ireland! The Roisn Dubh
Ozark Rosaleen), Kathleen ma Houli-
han, Erin, Banba, Fodhla-these are
some of the names ancient and modern
OF such symbolic personifcations.
Such mistaken allusion as this,
which is a purely literary blunder, is
in sense unimportant 1t would be
overfussy to take to task the author OF
1t if it were not that there is at present
widespread ignorance OF the fine CID
Irish lore and the classical romances
built upon it, even among otherwise
educated persons. We would be ashamed
Of ourselves, most of us, if we were 50
crudely educated in Greek classics or
legendry. It is almost incredible that
persons of literary pretensions should
be defciently educated in the old Irish
Celtic materials of tradition and his
tory, for, as it happens, this traditional
endowment of the Irish people is more
extensive, richer in quality, poetry and
dramatic substance, and much of ii
older than any in Europe, that Of
Greece alone excepted, and that Of
Greece is probably not older in its
sources than the Irish, and perhaps not
older either as to it's creation in clas-
sical forms through established insti-
tutes of learning.
There Will come day when TO be
ignorant of Irish Celtic classics Of an
tiquity, the creations of the centuries
old Irish Bardic Institution, will be as
much an indication of unpublished edu-
cation in letters as ignorance Of the q
ancient Continental classics or of me-
dieval culture. When in this couEtry
we begin to know and appreciate the
old history of the Irish nation, its state
of culture, social fabric and political
organization as they were established
and consistently developing two tboa-
sand years ago and more, we may begin
to understand the psychology of the
present situation better than we do.

Among the Taxpavers

The women Of New York State
did not shirk their duty TO state or
family last year, according to the
income tax statistics. Thirty thou
sand single women as against $4,000
single men filed returns as support
ing heads of families. The whole
number of taxpaying single men and
women is in about the same pro-
portion, 10000 men to 1O1,191
women.
The fallacy that single women
have no responsibilities to others
has been pretty we'll exploded.
There is nothing like official recog-
milton to establish facts. Protesta-
tions have been voiced, but seldom
listened to, ever since women began
to work outside the home. But now
that the state has placed the figures.
side by side, the honors between the
unmarried men and the unmarried
women seem about even.
The number of single and mar
ried women filing separate returns
was 144,000. A great number of
these were women earning their own
incomes, many of them gratifyingly
large. The theatrical profession
wao not the only one represented in
the large incomes. Women in busi-
ness may take courage and press on.
Holding big jobs in large business
concerns, responsible places in Wall
Street and banking houses, and as
secretaries to important men, women
have measured up to requirements.

Against Drastic Drug Rules

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The protests sent to Governor
Miller against the enforcement Of the
new narcotic drug regulations, noted in
today's Tribune, do not include that
of the New York Medical Association,
originally sent to the Governor Of the
state on January %. This protest
stated that "these regulations had
created confusion and CONSERVATION
among physicians and druggists and
were the cause of danger, delay and
suffering among those for whom these
drugs were prescribed"
1t was also claimed that these rulings
contravened the laws governing the
prescribing of narcotics, which pro-
vide that a specified amount of mar
cotics might be prescribed on the non
official blanks now declared unlawful
by the narcotic drug commission. Dur
ing the gubernatorial campaign the
New York Medical Association advo-
Gated the election of Governor Miller
on account of what it declared to be
the oppressive, illegal and inhuman
regulations of the narcotic drug com
mission adopted by Governor Smith.

The Port as 1t Should Be

Governor Miller's message will
give new impetus to the bi-state port
control scheme, obstructed recently
by the short-sightedness of the Board
of Estimate and Apportionment.
The Legislature is the only body
which can enter into a compact with
New Jersey for joint operation of
harbor facilities. The Governor
urges authorization of a dual agree
ment' and the creation of commits
sion to sign it, and thereafter to
represent New York on Joint
board to be known as the port au-
thority.
Heretofore New Workers have
been prone to look on the port as
their own creation and contented to
let it develop more or less az hap
hazard. The result has been that
although we have a spacious harbor
one OF the best in the world-we
have a port undeveloped in the mod
ern sense. Other harbors, cramped
end little favored by nature, excel
US in transshipment conveniences
and economy Of operation. The
secret of ports success is not a
vast spread of waterfront, but close
connection between the docks and
the terminals Of the land carriers.
All our railroad trunk lines but one
have their freight terminals on the
west shore of the Hudson. The
river is thus barrier so far as
New York City is concerned. The
reduction of this barrier by the uni
fication of the whole port district is
one of the benefits to be realized
through bi-state control.
Division of jurisdiction is harmful
to both states, even more so to New
York. perhaps, than it is to New
Jersey. If we are to go along on
the assumption that there are two
separate ports here. then some color
