Could the World Garry On?

v tHc GOlLOT u Hc IlDuHe.
Sir: Regarding economic conditions
in Europe, and particularly in Central
Europe, it has been stated repeatedly
that the economic ruin Of Germany or
of Russia, or their physical starvation
end consequent annihilation, spell ruin
for all other European countries and
great hardship for America.
Suppose that a cataclysm of nature
rhould wipe out every German and
Austrian to the last inhabitant. Why
should the absence Of population in
Germany affect France or England?
am honestly seeking for nforma-
tion on this point, and wonder IL some
one who is a closer student of such
things will not eucidate this matter.
Of course, l appreciate the danger
from plaques and pes -ilence, but, apart
from that, why would the wiping out
of these populations cause such a
catastrophe as seems to be generally
hinted or stated7 PUZZLED.

Of an action or appeal II warranted.
The elaborate machinery relating
to writs Of mandamus, prohibition
and certiorari are abolished, and
provision Is made for obtaining re-
lief heretofore afforded under such
writs by simple order.
The committee recommended an
additional section providing that
the act and the rules relating to it
are remedial for the guidance Of
the court, their attorneys, coun-
selors and officers, and is literally
to be construed; that failure to
comply with the provisions Of the
act should not prejudice a right or
prevent relief; that If it should af-
firmatively appear that a strict
compliance is necessary to prevent
injustice, the court forthwith must
direct the defect to be supplied. and
If necessary to suspend or adjourn
the action or proceeding to enable
that to be done, but in no case to
dismiss it.
Any layman, whether he has
been a party to an action at law or
not, readily can see that these pro-
visions are in the interest Of every
citizen who may find it necessary to
protect his rights or redress his
wrongs. Smplifcation of the pro-
cedure in courts of justice long has
had and now has the Endorsement
of the leaders Of the bar Of the
state, among others Elihu Root,
Charles Evans Hughes, Governor
Nathan L. Miller, William D. Guth-
rie, Alton B. Parker, Morgan j.

The plebiscite has therefore a
political rather than an economic
character. The Germans know this,
but they have sought to profit from
the Upper Silesian economic propa-
ganda carried on by "soft" peace
sympathizers in England and this
country. The main issue in the
plebiscite is whether or not the popu-
lation Of Upper Silesia wants to re-
main politically associated with the
Germans and with what Germany
has latterly come to stand for.

Teach Children Caution

some thought that there must be a
ghostly explanation for the deaths, al
though the Grey Room was one of the
most cheerful in the house. All the
early records of death in the Grey
Room were of sleepers, but then, sud
denly, there came the amazing death
of a visitor, who went into the room
in broad daylight and remained there
alone only for a little while. Even the
greatest of English detectives was baf-
fed and defeated by the mystery.
At length an explanation is afforded
to the reader. 1t is, we must admit,
not quite good enough for the mystery.
Still, it does clear away every point
and it is an honest explanation. No
body can go back through the book
with the solution in mind and find
things which have been put in merely
to deceive him and lead him off the
track. Mr. Phillpotts plays fair.
The book proves once again, though
OF course no proof is needed, that a
distinct literary style is an asset even
IN fast moving story of mystery and
sudden death. The author loses not a
jot of horror by writing delightful
prose. Indeed. his efforts are skill
fully heightened by the tricks of re-
straint which belong only to the
finished writer. Anybody who begins
The Grey Room need not boast that he
sat up all night to finish it, for we will
wager in any case that he won't sleep
very we'll after putting it down.

The Colombian Treaty
the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I would like to express my ap-
probation of your editorial on "The
Colombian Treaty.; also of the sent-
ments expressed by George H. Horne
jr. in his letter. Any attempt to
ratify that treaty is a direct blow at
the name and record Of the greatest
American Of our day and generation.--
Theodore Roosevelt
A recent book-in many respects an
excellent one--on American history
says: certainly the compensation
provided in the treaty is the least the
United States should rightly do to
make good an act that can only be de-
scribed as high-handed aggression
against weaker neighhor." 1t is moth
ing of the sort, as reasonably care
full study of the evidence will convince
any one. To treat it as if it were-in
other words, to attempt to buy the
good will of any country-is to cstab-
lish most undesirable precedent, the
baneful effect Of which no man could

Ithaca, N. Y, March ID, 1921.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: My views on the much dis
cussed Colombian treaty are directly
opposed to those expressed in your
paper by George II. Horne jr.
If Senator Lodge did reverse his
former opposition to the treaty, that
only goes to show that he is now con-
vinced of his previous error. Instead
of advising Senator Lodge to real
Roosevelt's article on THE Panama
Blackmail Treaty" Mr., Horne would do
better if he made an impartial study
of the facts on which the Colombian
claim was made.
Newspaper editors would render the
public service and provide a means
for impartial judgment If they would
repeat for the benefit of the "misin-
formed" all the basic facts Of the case.
