Naval Appropriations

The passage of the Navy appro-
priation bill by the House need not
be considered as putting an end to
all further discussion of disarma-
ment. 1t is merely an act of pre-
caution to enable the Administration
to proceed with the settlement Of
foreign relations without being ham
dicapped at home.
Republican leaders did we'll In
avoiding tying the Administrations
hands with respect to the disarma-
ment question, as Representative
Mondell pointed out that this matter
is to come up in Congress before the
session closes, with it's settlement
dependent on the development of the
international situation.
The world is still in a disturbed
condition. 1t is not inconceivable
that force may have to be used
again before universal normalcy is
definitely established. In a little
while armament reduction may be
possible. To-day it would be unwise
for this country to sink back into

Tho foreshadowed selection of
State Senator Meyer as chairman
of the legislative committee to In
vestigate the Hylan administration
gives public satisfaction.
A graduate Of Yale University in
the class Of '07 and Of the New
York Law School, Mr.. Meyer has
been conspicuous in local politics
for his conscientiousness, integrity
and energy. He is the type of up
right, earnest young man that The
odore Roosevelt did so much to in
terest in political affairs, and dur
ing his three terms in the Assem-
bly, was prominent in support of
good measures.
AS the sponsor Of the Senate bill
to investigate the Hylan regime he
is especially fitted to head the in
vestigating committee. Under his
direction the city will be assured
an honest, impartial and thorough
investigation.

The Enemy Is Tammany

There Is nothing especially new in
the testimony of William S. Cetti
before the Lockwood committee re-
lating his uphill fight against Tam
many. He was fighting to put
cheaper water meter into the city
for his own gain. And incidentally
to effect considerable saving to
every New Yorker using water. He
has thus far failed, been beaten back
by Tammany in one city body after
another. That is nothing new. 1t
is as old as Tammany. Just so long
as the voters Of the city elect Tam
many government they must expect
just such political influence upon
municipal business.
The incident is especially timely
and valuable as indicating who the
real enemy is. Tammany's relations
with Mr.. Hylan have been the sub
ject Of much discussion. Undoubt-
eddy, Fourteenth Street would prefer
a Mayor of ability to replace the
rambling incompetence Of Mr.. Hy-
Ian. But, after all, a Mayor who
will let Hettrick write his letters
is not to be sneezed at. A Mayor
who will veto bill, the last effort
Of an independent water meter COM
pany to enter the city, is surely to
be regarded with affectionate respect
in Fourteenth Street, however inno-
cent and i'll informed this veto may
have been.
The exact relationship of Mr.. Hy-
Ian to Tammany may we'll be re-
vealed by the legislative inquiry.
But whether it is or not, there is no
installing the enemy to be fought
next November. 1t is the same old
Tammany that worked through
Tweed and a Van Wyck and that,
other times other faces, finds a Hy-
Ian to do it's bidding.

Doing Our Share

To judge the German reparation
offer it is not necessary to thyash
through a jungle Of figures. The
German mind may like complicated
discussions, but others don't need to
initiate it's methods or to chase down
and refute every misstatement Of
the German note.
1t is enough for present purposes
to observe that the note lacks good
faith. This is plain from one fact
alone. BY the Versailles Treaty,
which she signed, Germany speciti-
cally agreed to pay billion marks
on or before May 10. Instead Of pay
ment she now would bargain about
the item. She ignores the fact that
whatever the final reparation total
her first payment would be entered
as credit. The spirit disclosed is
thoroughly bad.
1t is equally clear that Germany
has changed in no essential since
the Kaiser left. The only argument
whose validity she recognizes is
force. The only thing that induced
her to approach the Allies again was
the threat of an advance. If Foch
were called off her diplomats would
not palaver. The Versailles Treaty
would be added to her list Of scraps
Of paper That's all.
Equally significant is Germany's
intense anxiety over whether or not
American troops are to be included
in the Ruhr advance. She still hopes
and schemes to separate US from our
war partners. At a critical time
President Wilson did so and bells of
rejoicing rang all over Germany
Her professions caught one Presi-
dent, and why not another? Al
least she would try. This is not the
behavior of an honest debtor.
Would this country be Of service
to the general cause for which the
war was fought? Would it help
effect settlement? Then let it re.
turn to doing that which it should
never have left off doing-that is
completing the work to which we
placed our hands in 1917. Too lon
have we asked others to do our job
while we were critical as to how
they did it. This was the Wood
rowan way. 1t should not be tn
Harding way.
A real union, real league to en-
force peace is what the world needs
The German default with respect t,
PREPARATIONS gives us another chanc,
to "take our place." as the Presiden
said on Tuesday night, "among the
sovereign nations of the world.''

To the Editor Of Tho Tribune

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: There is no difficulty at all in
theory in calculating premium to
tit any scheme of insurance involving
simply the question Of duration of
life. The difficulties which exist are
practical rather than theoretical.
There is, in fact, no demand for
schemes just like the one "D. w. G."
describes, which involves a forfeiture
of the total sums paid under certain
circumstances. Nine out of ten people
who inquire about such insurance will
not consider anything which involves
such a forfeiture. If the element Of
forfeiture Is omitted the scheme is
usually not practicable, because suf-
ficiently attractive terms cannot be
quoted by the insurance companies.
The companies have to pay commits
sions and expenses, and are to some
extent restricted in their inve stments
to the highest class of securities, so
that where home form Of premium re-
turn IT. event of early death has to
be provided for it is usually the case
that the applicant could do much bet
ter for himself by investing the money
in high class securities, or even in the
savings bank. The fact is that under
practical conditions life insurance
company does not offer the best means
ax making the provision which YOUR
correspondent desires. ACTUARY.

istry, and the American merchant
marine would dwindle to It's puny
pre-war size. For many thousands
Of men employed ON American
boats this would mean no employ
rlent. For other thousands 1t would
mean employment only at the
greatly lower wage scales Of foreign
merchant marines.
Ship workers are almost tho last
class Of labor continuing at the
highest levels Of war pay. Yet
freights are hardly more than q
quarter Of the figures Of a year ago
and charter rates have fallen pro-
portionately. Even the more cheap
]y operated shipping of other coun-
tries finds it almost impossible to
run at profit under these condi-
tons coupled with the present
scale of pay.
No appreciate Increase in freight
rates is to be hoped for. Defation
in labor costs offers the only solu-
ton. It is vital for the mainte-
nance Of the shipping of other ma
tons; but it is far more vital for
that Of the United States, burdened
with greater expense at practically
every point Of operation.

Failure to reduce the level of
labor costs on American vessels
would react as seriously against
American labor generally as against
American ship owners. And it
would react still more seriously
against the development of the
American merchant marine.
Even if a standardized interna-
tional scale of pay prevailed the
American ship would still cost more
to operate than any other in the
world, because of the larger sized
crew required to be carried through
the Interpretation placed upon the
La Toilette seamen's law.
But there is the further burden
of the difference in pay of the
crews on American vessels and on
those Of other nations. Seamen un.
der the American flag receive $85
a month, against $72 on Norwe-
gian ships, $40 on British and $31
on Japanese. And the pay differen-
tial between other classes Of labor
on American and foreign vessels is
as much and more.
A reduction of 10 per cent in the
American seamen's wage would
leave it slightly above the present
British level; but British marine
labor has already agreed to a de-
crease that would restore the old
advantage held by the English
ship owner. There has been dras-
tic cut in Japanese ship pay, and
the other maritime nations are pre-
pairing to follow.
Under these conditions, to main
tain the labor costs of American
ships at the war level would give to
foreign shipping an advantage that
would eliminate all possibility Of
real competition in international
carrying trade by the American
merchant marine. American ton
mage would have to be thrown
on the market for what 1t would
briagpx he transferred t. alien reg

Treating Them Rough"
To the Editor Of The Tribune

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: You print an excerpt from The
Milwaukee Sentinel entitled "Treat-
ing Them Rough" suggesting that
the government officials responsible
for the alleged incompetency and neg
lect In soldier relief be treated to a
dose of General Dawes's crssing.
This might prove quite effective. but
a surer way to cure people responsible
for neglect of disabled ex-service men
and women would be to give the
guilty ones dose Of confinement for
not less than one year. Doubtless this
suggestion will never be acted on. but
it is high time that dillydallying with
the nations disabled was stopped. The
Gordian knot could not be united, so
1t was cut.

Educational Insurance
Different Views as to Practicability
of Such a Policy


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: was much interested In the
communication signed I'D. W. G." in
The Tribune this morning on the sub
ject of Educational Insurance"
Policies designed to provide the
money to pay for a college course
were worked out by me several years
ago as consulting actuary and ad-
wiser Of life insurance companies. |
think there are several companies now
making use of the plan, but in any
event there is certainly one.
Your correspondent seems to have
in mind only the provision of the
amount in event of the death Of the
parent, but the plan as I worked it
out also provided the amount as an
endowment, in case the father as yell
as the son, was surviving. In other
words, it made the provision for the
education of the children secure be-
yond peradventure.

roads solvent. There must be safety
for investment and chance Of profit.
The employees are protit-sharers.
They cannot escape this fate. To
assist themselves they must assist
the railroads. It ia time to have
sober appreciation Of this fact and
to have game laws protecting rail-
way owners.
Few have been far-seeing with
respect to the railroads. Neither
the public nor the railway employees
can boast Of intelligence. The pol
icy followed has been the crude one
Of soaking the railroads. AS long
as the spirit persists, as long as the
the delusion prevails that rail-
road owners have no rights any one
is bound to respect, there is little
likelihood Of getting good service.

What Guaranty ?
No Assurance That Germany VIII
Garry Out Her Proposals

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There is one point concerning
the new German proposals which does
rot seem to have been touched UPON
in the public prints. Yet it stands at
the threshold. Without a guaranty Of
performance can the Allies reasonably
be expected to accept any German
promises? If that be 80, who is to
supply the guaranty?
One of the German conditions Is tina.
all adverse physical guarantees shall
be RENTED and withdrawn. 1t is not
an unnatural supposition that if We
tender proposals on Germany's behalf
we incidentally are prepared to guar
antee that they are genuine proposals.
Will the country be willing that We
should append our guaranty-morsl o.
actual?
When one interferes between nations
on behalf of one of them q guaranty
of the good faith Of the nation which
one represents is involved. The mat
ter having been of oar initiative-be'
ing entered upon by US without request
from the Allies-we must give soma
evidence of at least our belief that tho
proposals Will be carried out in coed
faith. Are we prepared TO do so %
Germany's behalf?
The situation would have been dit'
ferent if We had addressed what Mr.
Lansing denominated as identic notes
to the Allies and to Germany asking
them to get together for the beneis
of the world situation, assuming THAI
we deemed the situation such as called
upon US to expostulate.
That, however, is not what has CO.
Cured. We interjected ourselves mo
the controversy on behalf OF GERMANY
at Germanys suggestion, and agreed 70
receive new proposals from Germany
without comforting with the Allies, ara
we stated that If we thought tne"
satisfactory we would present them ia
a suitable manner TO the Allles Oh
Germany's behalf.
We have now changed our attisuOs
and have asked the Allies whether @e!
thought that we should present 'hela'
We must, therefore, assume thaI '''
Allies viii be justified if they ask ID
what guaranty accompanies the DC"
proposals sufficient to assure t's.
that if the proposals are consiaeis'
they will be carried out during NV
long period provided for.
We can hardly reply that the honU'
and good faith of Germany IS su~,
cient guaranty in itself, for the P'''
has shown that that is not in the 10,
ture of a reliable guaranty. oh0'''
the Allies then inquire whether We %
nation will guarantee perfornsh''
we shall be placed in an awkward pv..
ton, for the country will not be wli''',
to pledge its faith for Germany"
without such pledge even the pios' '''
tsring proposals become meanihs's''
