When the detailed history OF

written perhaps there will be men

government in providing 925 dress
allowance to the women clerks ac-
companying the delegates to the dis
armament conference.
1t is a graceful recognition by a
powerful nation Of the Importance
OF It's women servants. The trim
ness of skirt, the freshness of n
blouse, the decorum of a curl
nothing, it seems to say, is too hum
bic to contribute to the establish
ment of better ordered world
But aside from its bearing as a
compliment to the women aids the
dress bonus has a practical signifi-
canoe which will be noted by MANY

Joining America

The 9Th Assembly District, as the
public knows. is strongly socialistic
ou' 1or three years it has not been
represented at Albany by a Socialist
1t has sent there young man Of
courage and character who is more
interested. in American fashion IN
oolng practical good for the masses
Oh his constituents than in dreaming
dreams of remote, if not an irnos
slble, social state.
Inns young man is Sol Ullman
MS merit as one of the most useful
OF the city's representatives at Al
oany is certified to by the civic ayen
cies which watch proceedings at tho
state capital. Three times he has
met and beaten the districts Social
ist champion. But heretofore Mr.
Oilman, Republican, has had tho
benefit Of Democratic Endorsement
However, this year, throughout New
York County, the Democratic party
has stubbornly refused to indorse
any Republican candidates for legis-
lative office. SO Mr.. Ullman is in a
three-cornered contest and needs aid,
The Tribune appeals to the Demo
cratic voters Of the district to disre-
gard the mandates of their bosses.
II for three years the fusion argu-
ment was good it is good now. 1t is
admitted that the Democratic candi-
date has no chance. Why throw
away votes and thereby assist the
Socialists?

Socialists of the district and to all

war offensive.

will not take place-now," signif-
cantly pausing before emphasizing
the final word. SO in Mr.. Gompers's
view it is shaky armistice we now
have, not a lasting peace.
From the railway unions come de-
mands for the abolition of the Labor
Board, and hostility is declared in
advance to any proposal looking to
creating substitute with the Labor
Boards powers. In other words, the
railway unions want no arbitrations.
They still prefer ultimatums and
hold that might gives right.
On the other side the railroad ex.-
ecutlves indicate that they do not
understand they are forbidden to
apply under the law for further
wage cuts. Moreover, they do not
understand they are foreclosed from
protesting against working rules
which unnecessarily add to the cost
OF transportation.
1t IS time for the public to COM
plete its mental preparedness as to
two important matters: First. that
mlnorities shall not selfshly rule
and, second, that increases in trans
portatlon costs, when they come. are
paid for by the public. A firm
establishment Of these simple truths g
VIII prevent trouble.
Only negligible few object to tbo
existence of the railway unions. But
II power has drifted to railway
unions they must not misuse it, The
Kaiser principle that it is the nr;v;-
lege of a few to give orders which It
Is the duty Of all others to accent has
done enough damage for one genera
ton.

there who are socialistically inclined.
Aren't the regular members of the
party ready to kick into oblivion the
absurd, autocratic rule that a Social
ist must vote a straight ticket
though the yellowest Of dogs is OH it?
Don't the young men and women of
the district wish to certify that in
good faith they have become Ameri-
cans and are through with rcvolu-
tionary nonsense? Great arc the op-
portunities that America has spread
before the aspiring youth of all the
East Side. Don't they like the
American system? Don't they think
it better for them than the Russian
syster?
If the district would add it's voice
to the grand chorus of American
ism; If it would be true to the spirit
displayed by the boys of the East
Side when they fought their way
forward amid the rocks and thickets
and bullets of the Argonne, let it
attest its faith by voting for Ull-
man. The greater public of America
will see and understand, for the
struggle in the 9Th District has at
tracted national attention.
Let the district hasten to get into
full sympathy with the spirit of the
great Republic. Are Americans so
poor sort that any here should pre-
fer to be aliens at heart and to fol-
low political philosophy imported
from Europe and of little applicable
ity to America? Here is the simple
but profound issue which is sub
mitted to the voters OF the 9th Dis
trict. 1t far transcends in impor-
tance any partisan question. What
will be the answer?

Sickbed Promises

II is q sick Soviet which offers to
pay Russias foreign debts in return
for recognition by the great powers
Tchitcherin, who makes the offer as
Lenine's Foreign Minister, is the
same official who used to boast of
Bolshevik Russia's intention to re-
duce all Europe to Bolshevism. Now
he is willing to let the rest of Europe
live unmolested, and even to square
the Czarist foreign obligations in
Cured up to 1914, if the Allied ma
tions, besides feeding starving Rus
sia, will acknowledge the Red die
tatorship.
How will Russia even pay her for
eign debt of 1914, amounting to
S5,092, 100000, under q government
which has destroyed industry and
has so reduced even agricultural
production that millions of Rus
slams are on the edge of starvation
Tchitcherin doesn't say. Does he
think that confidence, which is the
basis of all extensions of credit
can be established by mere
promises? Is there any one. even
of the Communists, willing to ship
goods to Russia except possibly he
be controlled by philanthropic i'm
pulses and does not ask for pay?
Great Britain made a trade treaty
with Russia year or more ago. But
the British government only recently
complained that Moscow wasn't liv-
ing up to its pledges and was, in
fact, making more trouble for Great
Britain in Persia and Afghanistan
than the Cars government ever
had in the days before the British
Russian entente. Tchitcherin's word
is worth nothing. The government
he represents is an outlaw interna-
tlonally and is sustained only bv
Communist terrorism. It's promise
to pay Russia's foreign debts
amounts to little more than a. prom
lse to pay them in the fiat currency
issued by Lenine with the purpose of
destroying forever the average Rus
SLAMS belief in the value of money.

Our Latin-American Trade
Unfair to Judge Exporters by a Few
Fly by Night" Traders
o the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: With pleasure do I answs.
John P. Gray and L. G. Cooper
agree Fundamentally with Mr.. Gray
that the mistakes of others are not
excuses for our own, but let me add
that birth is also no excuse for igno-
rant people and cheats. Consequently,
we shall always have this class Of gen.
try who cheat and remain Ignorant,
but, thank heaven, they are in the
minority. Therefore, Mr. Gray, again
| appeal to you, don't Judge the whole
by the faults of very few.
As for Mr.. Cooper, think when h.
mentions I'VE Americans he IS cover
ing too much ground. Perchance he
has forgotten that there are thousands
OF Americans in Central and South
America who are honest, prosperous
and great men; that it was Americans
who went down there when the world
thought them insane and built railroads,
formed steamship lines, built hospitals
cleaned out disease and helped the
needy; that it was Americans that in
spired their independence and are row
helping them to protect their conssitu-
tions against rebellions. These deeds
should not be forgotten in spite of
few who wish to ridicule.
During the war hundreds Of "hy BY
night" corporations sprang up which
did not do justice to our foreign trade
cut in the last year or so all those who
were ignorant about exports or were not
playing fair have been "snowed un-
der' and will always remain showed
under" though we can never keep them
from trying sgain, for We shall never
stop ignorance, much less dishonesty.
Then why, just because OF these "hy
by night traders, should we siur and
riddcule American foreign traders as
whole? There are hundreds Of books
written by Americans covering every
Central and South American topic.
Many banks publish interesting psr-
phlets for the use Of exporters and
travellers. If any one wishes to be well
informed let him refer to these publ
cations, which can be easily and
cheaply secured, and not listen to slur,
rldicule and accusations by people who
make mountains out Of nolehills.
MINOR c. r. KEITH.
New York, Oct %, 1921.
New-York tribune., 1921-10-31

The Nonpartisan League expert
ment in North Dakota has gone the
way of so many similar adventures
in American politics. 1t had much
in common with the schemes pre-
sented a generation ago by the or
ganizers Of the Farmers Alliance
and Populist movements. 1t sought
to reorganize the machinery Of agri-
cultural production and distribution
through political action. But poll
tics has always been the poorest in
strument in this country with which
to solve economic problems. Amer
lean instincts recoil at mixing eco
nomics and politics. Government
ownership and operation Of the ma
chinery of production or of the in
strumentalities of commerce run
counter to normal American theory
and experience.
Arthur c. Townley, a self conf
dent and plausible promoter, found
in North Dakota a favorable field
for the spread of his state socialistic
doctrines. The farmers believed that
they had been squeezed by the rail
roads, the banks, the grain ele-
vators and the distributors gener-
ally. They accepted Townlcys ad-
Niro opJ fopr>,oJ @bo>,ro1,ro. ,~4. .
political league which undertook to
socialize the state government.
State elevators were established,
state -four mills built and state
banks opened for the purpose of ex-
tending special credit facilities to
farmers. The Nonpartisan League
took over the Republican organlza-
ton and put it's own leaders into of
flee. Since 1916 it has controlled
the state administration and the
Legislature. In 1920 it invaded
other states-Nebraska, Montana,
Colorado and South Dakota-seek-
ing to do there what it had done at
home.
But Townley's theories when put
into practice, failed to work. Gov
ernment operation proved extrava-
giant and Inefficient The state
banks got into trouble when defla-
tion came along. The new order
couldn't stand up against the eco
nomic pressure Of the old order.
Governor Frazier, elected in 1916
by vote Of 1866 to 22,966,
was reelected in 1913 by plural
ity of only 17,784, and in 1920 by
plurality of 4,630. Townley
went back to Minnesota and,
convicted there Of conspiracy to
violate the state espionage act,
is about to serve Jail sentence. He
left the wreck of a socialized state
structure behind him. Now, on 8
recall petition, Governor Frazier
and his Attorney General and Com
rissioner Of Agriculture and Labor
have been displaced by three inde-
pendent candidates. The house that
Townley built hadn't firm enough
foundations to survive the first out
burst of popular disillusionment
and discomfort.

Not a Disarmament Conference

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The coming conference for the
limitation of armaments, 80 far dis
cussed in general terms, is nm
fortunately regarded by some as a
disarmament conference. We all real-
ize the burdens of excessive arma-
ments, but there is real danger that
we'll meaning but misguided people. in
hysteria of paciflst ideas, will foreet
that so long as there are thieves, ban
dts and murdcrcrs in the world lust
so long must we be prepared to defend
ourselves against them.
Much silly disarmament agitation
has come from business men who can
not feel beyond their pocketbooks. We
should, in company with the other
great powers, reduce armed forces. but
for the United States to cut her de-
fenses to the extent that some tight
listed and weakened gentry are
clamoring for would be not foolish hut
criminal.
l hold no brief for war, but in a
hysteria of pocketbook- -grasping (eu-
phemist tically known as business re-
trenchment) let US remember how un-
prepared for war we were in 1917 and
let that be our lesson.

afford to neglect clothes no matter
how they drain her purse. SO long as
a man is clean and reasonably free
of threadbare places his appear
ance passes, but the woman who
would hold her own must be at all
times becomingly and immaculate
~ dressed. For her to falter from
the high path Of sartorial pcrfcc-
tion is ordinarily unforgivable.
And SO here's the moral: If the
British government recognizes in
the hearing Of the whole world that
clothes make the stenographer,
does it not suggest that the bust
ness house may be called on to
allow n dress bonus as matter of
routine custom?

the case of the theft of $4,000 worth
of jewels from an apartment in River

est trace being found of the criminals
nor any report being made by the de-
tectives to the citizen who was robbed -?

planned that her home was robbed six
months ago, and although three detec-
