Fordney's Party Splitting.

Chairman FoRDNEYs proposed duty
on lumber is so excessive and so in
defensible that it has opened a rift in
the Republican membership of his
own Ways and Means Committee. it
is certainty that it will split even
more widely the majority of the
House, where it is denounced roundly
as a barrier to relief from the housing
shortage and an outrage against the
rent paying public of the nation.
But what damage will be caused to
Republican solidarity in Congress by
this extortionate tariff schedule,
which will put an insufferable lum-
Der tax on builders and rept payers
and deprive the country of construc-
tion material when it is starved for
lumber, is not to be mentioned in the
same breath with the political havoc
it will work among the voting mem
.bers of the party from Maine to
California.
Party wrecking may seem little
thing to Chairman FonDNEY so long as
he is taking care OF the selfish clique
which wants to turn it's inadequate
logging camps into gold mines at the
expense of the more than 100000
people in the United States. But If
party wrecking, at such a time and
in such q detestable cause, does not
appear to the whole member ship of
Congress to be thing big with ma
tional danger as well as repulsive
greed, the legislative branch of the
United States Government is in a
very bad way.

turned graduates joyously celebrated
another day of commencement. Inspira-
ton was sought from President Hadley's $
farewell address as president of the uni

dress he opened up new vistas in the
growth of the university under the new

stories that the ship is sinking into

II Must Be Fusion.

Republicans, independent Demo
Gratis and plain independents who love
this their city and aim to serve it
must want to free it from Tammany
Halls ugly and ruinous grip. But it
is one thing to want to be rid of
Tammany misrule; it is quite another
to do the job.
Republican politicians who insist
upon running straight party ticket
are not thinking of this city; they
are thinking of themselves.
Anti-Tammany Democrats who are
talking about demanding first place
on the ticket as their reward for
joining forces with the Republicans
are not enlisting to redeem the mu-
nicipal government; they are bent
upon building up their minority
party.
Political leaders of whatever lean
ing who threaten to put third ticket
in the field are not useful and admir-
able volunteers in the publics cause:
they are either irresponsible vision
aries or factional cutthroats.
The way to put Tammany out OF
the municipal government and sal
wage the city treasury from being a
personal feeding trough is for all
the other parties, factions and indi-
viduals to get together and stick
together behind the best man they
can find to run for Mayor. If the
best man they can commander for
Mayor-the best man to poll votes
against Tammany Hall, the best man
to be the business manager of the
city of New York, the best man to
keep the municipal government out
Of Tammany's clutches once it has
been taken from the Murphy -Hylan
hands-if the best man to do all that
is Republican then he is the man to
nominate for Mayor.
If, on the other hand. the man that
best meets the requirements of the
situation happens to be a Democrat,
the best thing to do is to name that
Democrat.
If the man that can be elected and
then can fill in the way it needs to
be filled one of the hardest Jobs
in the whole world is by chance
neither Democrat nor Republican,
never flocked with any party, does
not know what partisan politics is,
he is the man for the job.
Politics has nothing to do with the
vital issue of saving New York, the
first city of the nation, from banl1-
ruptcy, OF putting its government
on sound working basis and then
giving 100000 people the right pub
lie service at the right cost to the
taxpayers. 1t is business PROPOSE
tion pure and simple. 1t cannot be
worked out as anything but busi-
ness proposition.
The voters who can elect an anti
Tammany Mayor will vote the Muir
phyHylan wreckers out on the plain
business issue of adequate and decent
rapid transit without barter OF any
body's rights sufficient and suitable
schools without graft contracts that
bankrupt the municipal treasury;
lighter tax burdens without a shabby
administration of their public affairs;
a straight, outstanding, clean handed
police force at good enough pay to
support such policemen as they de-
serve to be supported-an honest city,
healthy city, a progressive city, a
city to be proud of.
That means fusion. Get in linel

WEDNESDAY. JUNE %, 1921.
A Coalition Navy.

DAVID LLOYD GEORGE, the Prime
Minister of the British Government,
told the conference of the Imperial
Premiers in London his aims and the
aims of his country to cooperate with
the United States both for the good OF
the two great English speaking peo-
pies and for the good of the world.
The following words illuminate his
thought and policy:
Friendly cooperation with the
United states is for US a cardinal
principle, dedicated, by what seems to
US the proper nature of things, by in
stinct quite as much as by reason and
common sense. We are ready to dis
cuss with American statesmen any
proposal for the limitation OF arIna-
ments which they wish to set forth.
and we can undertake that no such
overtures will find lack of willingness
on our part to meet them"
At the same time while stating his
Governments desire to avoid compe-
tition in armaments and to act in
harmony with America to that end
LLOYD GEORGE as frankly declared that
Great Britain never could so cut her
sea power as to expose herself, her
colonies, and her dependencies to
danger. His words on this question
were.
1--WE cannot forget that the very
life OF the United Kingdom. as also
that of Australia and New Zealand.
Is built upon sea power, and that sea
power is necessarily the basis Of the
whole Empires existence. We have.
therefore. to look for measures which
our security requires. We cannot pos
sioly be content with less"
Why not coalition navy, Mr..
Prime Minister, maintained by both
great sea Powers? Each of these
70 be operated in the proper sphere
OF each. each to be the master OF its
own ships and guns, but each to be a
part of the combined sea power Of
the two.
A coalition between these two ma
tions would be as natural as it
would be formidable. They have the
same language, they have the same
point of view. Their laws are based
on the same fundamental principles.
And coalition navy OF the United
States and Great Britain could as
sure peace for the rest of the world
a. well as for themselves.
With such naval cooperation Great
Britain and the United States would
each be justified in maintaining much
smaller naval strength than either
would be without such cooperation.
Great Britain has enormous response
bilities to her commerce and her colo
nies, as LLOYD GEORGE so well says.
The United States, too, has enor-
nous responsibilities in the protec.
tion Of her commerce. her vast sea
coast, and the safeguarding OF her
populous cities and towns on her sea-
boards.
The duties OF each nation in this
respect are very great, 80 great that
nothing save big navies for each.
or cooperation, can furnish the pro-
lection that Great Britain and
America must furnish to their re-
spective peoples.

GERMAN PROPAGANDA,

Even though this country is still at var with Germany there are efforts being made for the resembling of laws which German from the schools. That action was taken because of the nature of eer- tain of the text books and because there were communities in the country where instruction in the schools was being given Tn German rather than English. It was for the purpose of putting a check upon the German propaganda that Legislation was deemed necessary, and there appears to be no good reason why the ban on what was considered detrimental then should be lifted.
 It Is not to be supposed that there cal, be opposition to the idea of teaching of German in addition to English and alone with other languages. It is to be real ized that there are advantages that may be obtained by such instruction, but there cannot fail to be opposition to tht practice of carrying on all instruction, in the elementary schools in the German language to the exclusion of English That is what has been strenuously tough ia certain sections of the country ant inasmuch as the step has been taken tt end such a situation it is important tha adequate efforts should be made to SC, that no backward step is taken.

Ports apparently, meant little to the Incas and their precursors, so the history of of this sheltered bay, which eeRsti- tutes one of the best harbers on the Pacific coast of South America may be considered to have begun shortly after Pizarro and his bearded com rades entered Peru in 1882.
 From Callao in the years that fol- lowed sailed a constant stream of gall Icons loaded with the gold and silver that the conquistadores stripped from the rich continent on which they had gained a foothold. Lima, only eight miles inland, became the seat of the yice-regal government by which all South America was ruled, and Callao was was practically the only gate through the treasure gathered by the colonial agencies was poured into the lap of the Spanish king. Close to Callao of- ten hovered British and Dutch pirates to swoop down on the treasure ships.
 "Callao was the first Pacific port in South America to have completed modern harber works. Treasure Is still being taken from Peru through Callao, but now 1t is in the form of !
