Doing Our Share
Living Up To Unwrittcn Covenant 20
Preserve World Peace

To the Editor of Tho Tribune.
Sirs Such Republicans rs may have
had misgivings concerning the foreign
policy Of our new Administration must
have had their minds set at rest by
reading the dispatch in yesterdays
World written by Louis Seibold,
in which his masters voice is so
clearly discernible. The distinction be-
tween the one-man po..cy nd the
national policy is made cite clear
by Mr. Seibold, with implications for
tho student OF foreign affairs not at
all pleasing to the Wilsonian mind.
Mr.. Seibold, in words which remind
one of the inspired dispatches which
he used to send after his visits to
the White House in days gone by,
states in effect (though he would not
have it put quite that way) that Mr..
Wilson's purpose was to dominate
through the League Of Nations; but,
according to the Wilson idea, the SD
preme Council is something extra
legal, IL not illcgal-at all events,
something he did not favor-and he
deprecates the policy Of cooperation
through the Supreme Council which
has been recently in4ugurated.
The Supreme Council has shown &C.
self to be the means of accomplishing
tangible results toward the mainte-
nance Of world peace. According to
Mr.. Wilson, it would seem that coop
Grating on an equal footing through
constitutional channels toward the
preservation of the peace bought so
dearly amounts to going further in
the direction of entanglements than
working through the make-believe au-
thority of league uper-government.
The league notion is the natural out
come of the notion Of moral neutrality.
The Harding-Hughes policy of co6pera-
ton through the Supreme Council is
expressive Of desire that America
shall do her share toward the preser-
vation of the settlement for which we
fought. We entered the war, sent
"booo,ooV tAoopS 10 i FTauce ana PROVIDED
decisive factor Of victory upon the
basis of an unwritten covenant from
which the Supreme Council now derives
its authority, and the Harding Hughes
policy is to live up to that unwritten
covenant, which it was the Wilsonian
aim TO do away with through the means
of written covenant which, as it now
stands, is satisfactory to no one.
The President and the seeretary of
State could not have better coati6cate
Of good faith and efficiency in regard
TO foreign affairs than that Just be-
slowed on them by MIR, Wilson through
Mr.. Seibold. MAURICE LEON.

Bryant Park Litterers

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: am rejoiced to see that let
ters regarding Park Vandalism" are
appearing In your columns. May I
add my few words to the just COM
plants?
Bryan Park, that iowly "oasis" back
Iof the Public Library, which is crossed
almost daily by the writer, belongs
equally to all and not only to those
persons, mostly men, on the benches
who read newspapers and then throw
them down unfolded to right and left
for the breezes to blow them over on
the beautiful grass, thus to litter up
an otherwise well kept little square.

Bring Home Her Soldier
A Mothers Plea for Return Of Hst
Sons Body from Francs

Don s BODY from france
To the Editor OF The Tribune,
Sir; Wide publicity has been given
to protests against the exhaustion Of
American soldiers IN Francs. May l
express through your columns tbs
sentiments Of one who is vitally con.
cerned in this matter?
Three years ago our governments
promised to return TO mourning
parents the bodies OF those dear ones
who made the supreme sacrifice Sor q
noble cause. Since that time and many
more have been anxiously awaiting
the hour when tho bodies Of our sons
shall ba brought back. The Thought
Of having. at least, the material re-
mains Of the dear departed buried IN
their own country, so that the parents
could have easy access 80 the graves
has been q source Of solace and COM
fort to the hereayed.
have had personal talks WITH
parents who have already received
their sons' bodies, and they have ssid
to me that since this longing hes been
satisfied they feel a sense of pescS
and their grief has, ia great meas
ure. been lifted from them.
The majority of those who ars
criticixing the governments action srs
not the bereaved parents. The gov
egnment is not forcinS any one 70
accept the return Of the dead soldiers
but those who want tis-4n should no1
be denied this privilege. After sll, 1t
is matter Of human opinion whether
or not it Is desecration to remove ths
bodies, but the psrents who gave theif
sons to a noble cause are the Only
ones whose wishes should % cor
suited.
It was my sons wish before he ieis
this country that in case Of deats Ne
should have military fDnersl. Il
left any stone unturned TO bring ao0De
this result i feel should fall shon
Of a mothers duty.

degree Of truth these accusations
contained, this situation can be renl-
edied by the appointment of suitable
persons. ii under the new Admins
tration the President and people OF
Hayti still have cause for complaint
Congress should at once take up the
matter.
"If the government Of the people
of the United States," said the
Haytian President In November,
'want the Haytian people to con-
slider the treaty as a starting point
OF the independence Of the Hay
tian people it Ia necessary that an
American Congressional commits
sion come and investigate the func-
tionaries OF the civil administration
of the treaty"
Justice demands that the people
Of the Black Republic shall have q
square deal. Expediency makes it
important that our relations with
the island can give no cause for
criticism to Latin America. Our
occupation of Hayti has caused I'M
easiness among the Southern re-
publics. They are watching us
closely, ready to see design in an
error Of judgment and to interpret
as policy the blunders Of petty
officials. But it Is no reason FOR
muddying the case by reiterating
exploded charges against soldiers
who do what they are told to do.
New-York tribune., 1921-05-12
Gerrnany's Future

The reparation terms provide that
Germany, in addition to $487, 900 900
annually in money, shall pay q sum
equal TO 25 per cent of the value of
German exports until $33, ,750 900 900
has been paid. This obligation,
which will exist for many years, can
DO met either by levy on exports or
by domestic taxes.
Should Germany elect, as she
probably will, at least as to many
articles, to levy export taxes, what,
first, will be the effect on Germany,
and, second, what on other coun-
tries? The common view is that
Germany will be disadvantaged 25
per cent in international competi-
tion, that this handicap will be
practically prohibitive, and that if
Germany is unable to ship out sur
pluses her production will decrease,
and consequently her creditors will
get little more than the specific cash
payment of $487, 100000 annually.
But there are reasons for rating
these conclusions as superficial. Ex-
port taxes, formerly much employed,
are now SO seldom used that there is
little accepted doctrine concerning
their incidence and effect. When the
mercantile theory was dominant ex-
port taxes were laid on raw materi-
ais, England, for example, heavily
taxing wool exports. When coun-
try has monopoly Of needed arti-
Gle the foreigner pays the tax in en-
hanced price. So Chile taxes ship
ments of nitrate Of soda and Portu-
gal and Spain tax cork. During the
Boer War Great Britain taxed ex-
ported coal, and Brazil has levied or
coffee and rubber.
But export duties on competitive
articles have a different incidence
tend tt De paid by the exporting
country; and so great is the eager
ness for foreign trade that they have
fallen into disuse. But, put on, the
consequences of a return to them can
be foreseen.
a country having them is likely to
become self-contained. If it's pro-
ductive power remains its new
wealth will go into domestic con-
sumption and improvement. One can
imagine Germany better titled and
developed because of export duties,
with her people, although denied
some articles of foreign production,
getting larger ration in common
comforts and luxuries.
During many centuries countries
prospered without foreign trade in
the modern sense, and life was easy.
Our own country, OF all modern
ones, has been the least affected by
foreign trade, yet our standard of
living Is the highest. Indeed, many
OF the arguments made for protec-
tion, which seeks national economic
independence and self-containment
apply in favor of export taxes.
So there is no reason to apprehend
that Germany will be economically
crushed. There will be readiustment
of her industries and allocations of
employment, but the disturbances
therefrom may be expected to be
temporary.
And if Germany becomes inter.
nally prosperous her creditors will
get their money, not in goods. There
is no law against a Frenchrnan or q
Briton or an American becoming ar
owner in German plant, though
many of the pseudo-experts on reps.
