WIN Should We Fear War?
No European Nation Wants War-japan Fapors Ecocc-th
English Speaking Races Will Oppose Var
By Quarterback

Why do We fear war? There has
never been a time in the history of the
United States when there was less
danger Of war than to-day.
No nation will go to war with US UNI
less we force war upon it, No nation
will force war apon us because it
knows for the following reasons tina.
it would be futile for it to do SO:
l. We are completely self support
ing.
2. No other nation is completely
self-supporting.
8. Thus, the United States has an
overwhe Ginning advantage, defensively
and Extensively, in waging a long war.
4. The United States cannot be in
vadcd. Submarines and air forces have
rendered invasion from overseas i'm
possible.
s. No enemy can subdue us or at
tack US successfully.
6. We have the making of large
army and navy-if necessary.
7. Notwithstanding present bur-
dens,
eve have the men,
We have the ships,
We have the money, tool"
s. The world knows that we can hold
out indefinitely in case of war.
g. No other nation can hold out in
definitely.
10. Foreign nations are staggering
under debt They are bankrupt. Their
peoples want peace. ley will not go
to war with us if they can help it..
They will fight as only in self-defence.
II. How. could enemies from over
seas attack US? Could they starve or
harm US? What could they do?
They must know that our position is
invulnerable. Will they deliberately
butt their heads against a stone wall :?
No Enemy in Europe
Consider Europe. Our late enemies
Germany, Austria, Russia, Turkey
and Bulgaria-have no navies. They
cannot make war on us.
Our late allies and our friends
France, Italy, Portugal, Rumania, Ser
bia, Spain and the north countries
would not go to war with us if they
could and could not if they would.
What have they to gain What could
they do to harm US? Our navy to-day
is stronger than the combined navies
of Europe, emitting England!
Nothing can precipitate war between
England and the United States. 1t
would be a crime far greater than that
of Germany. 1t would be the end OF
civilization. The speaking peo-
pie of the world will not permit it.
Lord Curson's Speech
At the recent unwilling Of George
Washington's statue in London, Lord
Curzon said that the statue ''was q
symbol and work of the fact that the
two branches of the great English
speaking race now are indisso:ubiy one
None of US are proud OF that war d
hundred years ago; some of US are
ashamed OF it, But we can never fight

The wholesale distribution of dry
goods for fall delivery, says Mar
shall Field & Co., Of Chicago, is far
ahead in volume Of the correspond
ing period last year. This accords
with the recent report Of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank Of this district
that actual inspection of the books
of fifty-eight principal retail estab-
lishments of this city showed sales
10 per cent larger in volume than in
1920, and both statements support
the conclusion of Secretary Hoover,
who has habit of looking facts in
the face and is no foolish optinlist,
that the turn in business has come.
Whether because prohibition has
turned money formerly wasted in
the maintenance Of huge saloon
establishment, or whether for some
other reason, there is little indication
OF general distress despite the short
age in employment. Our people ap-
pear TO be exceptionally we'll dressed

the decline in this way has compen-

confidently look forward to the en-

Of still higher standard Of living.

prevent other nations fighting, and that
is the main function and duty which
deyoives upon US in the future We
should endeavor to see that the peace
of the world is preserved 1t is a great
and powerful weapon that has been put
into the hands Of these two nations.
We ought to be able to use that weapon
For the inestimable advantage of man
kind
England and her great colonies
Australia, Canada, New Zealand and
South Africa stand together for peace
with the United States and the people
OF this country arc meeting them half
way. The insane asylums will hold all
the crazy people who would advocate
war between the United States and
England.
Thus we may dismiss all thought of
war with any European power.
Japan Wants Peace
Japan does not invite war with the
United States. She would have every
thing to lose and nothing to gain by
war with US. Could Japan endure q
| long, expensive and bitter war with
the United States? What could she
do to US? What would she gain in
the end? Japan is not self-supporting.
We could build an immense submarine
feet and maintain it indefinitely
against Japan's commerce.
Admitting that Japan could take the
Philippines and Guam Of they are not
properly protected by submarine and
sir forces, as recommended by Admiral
Fiske), would Australia, New Zealand
and Canada wish to see Japan establish
continuous battle line Of islands
from Kamchatka to Borneo? Would
England and her colonies be willing
thus dominate the Pacific commercially
and strategically by completely con-
trolling the approach to China What
would they gain by such policy?
1t is not believed that Great Britain
would enter into any such alliance with
Japan against the United States. 1t
would not be for her interest to do so.
She knows this perfectly well--and so
does Japanl Anglo-Jspanese treaty, or
no treaty. this cannot be. japan cam
not and does not look to Great Britain
TO assist her in war against the United
States. The Pacific is big enough for

The appointment of the coalition
committee. whose business is to agree
OF ticket to recommend to the va
rious anti Tammany organizations
OF the city, opens this years mu-
aicipal campaign.
In this campaign there is nothing
essentially new either in issue or
procedure. The issue is the ancient
non-partisan one, of whether selfish
and corrupt organization is to rob
and misgovern the city, or whether
there is to be rule by those who be-
lieve government should be for the
benefit of the many. rather than to
serve special interests.
Time and again this question has
engaged the citys attention, and
time and again the special interests,
as embodied in and modified by Tam
many, have been beaten. But, alas,
time and again the good government
forces have not finished their Job.
AS there is no novelty in the issue.
so there is no novelty in the pro-
cedure that common sense demands.
1t is once more essential to reconcile
and to unite in behalf Of a single
ticket those who agree that govern
ment is established to further public
rather than private ends. But
though Tamlnany includes most of
the crooks. unfortunately antj-Tam-
many includes most of the political
fools, and the latter are at work once
more helping Tammany. There is
the usual petty opposition to build
ing up common front.
Nor is there anything new in
general political conditions. For
years the lesson of local elections
has been that Tammany is in a mi
norlty. Az no time since the crea-
ton of the greater city has it won
except through split of its OPP
ponents. Maybe henceforward the
women will so throw their votes in
behalf of their children and homes
that the Tammany organization will
be finally squelched. But this is
speculative. The only prudent course
Is to assume that it is indispensable
to have coalition.
But. though the approaching strug-
gle is IN the main renewal Of an old
one, the primary law has lately in
uoduced factor which helps Tam
many. Formerly it sufficed to get
an agreement from a representative
committee. Now it is necessary to
nave the selections such as are rea-
sonably certain of Endorsement in
The Republican primaries. No won

mary law was applied to municipal
elections.
-four years ago William NJ. Ben
nett blocked fusion, and thus pre-

many. This year Mr. Bennett is

Wm Operseas Too Difficult

ABIDE from the economic and dipio-
raat;c situations there is another con-
trolling reason why we need not fear
war. 1t is this. The advent of sub
marines and air forces, and the skill
full use Of mines, torpedoes and other
modern devices have so strengthened
the defensive in war that it is practi-
cally impossible to send large armies
overseas. 1t cannot be done, The at
lacking feet and its helpless trans
ports cannot reasonably hope to MAN.
tain command Of the air above and the
sea beneath them against defending
nation three or FIVE thousand miles dis
tant overseas. The best naval minds
IN Europe are agreed on this point.
And the best naval minds in the United
States would voice the same opinion
IL they were encouraged 70 speak! 1t
IS as unfortunate as it is humiliating
that this fact has not been recognized
that it has not even bsen discussed
intelligently by those who have re-
Gently assumed to shape our naval
policy
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-07-17

Fear Of war is one thing. Prepared
ness for war is another. We need not
be in panic Of fear But we should
always be prepared.
Preparedness should be sensible and
scientific. This is not the case in the
United States to-day. In our present
condition We fiend alack of common
sense, violation of strategy and an
absence Of science:
l. Our feet is unnamed.
2. Our feet is divided.
3. Our Acct is unframed as a fighting
team
A. Our feet has inadequate subma-
rine and air forces.
s. Lacking modern weapons, our Aeet
cannot take the offensive; it is limited
TO the defensive
Luckily for Us, there is little fear OF
war, and we are strong de2ensiveiy.
Luckily for our future enemy-if we
nave anv-we cannot attack him over
seas if he has strong submarine and
air forces. Il is stand-off!
Our naval policy has unwittingly
promoted peace.

Legislature of 1921 Broke ALI
Previous Records.
Session Just Closed Cost Total
of $117,O29, Report Shows.
THREE BILLS TOTAL 100000
Per Diem Allowance Was $500
for Each Legislator.
Postage, Telephone and Te1e-
graph Cost $50 for Each.

Expense of the 1921 legislature
broke all records, according to appro-
priation bills for Legislative expense
now on file in the office of n. A. Tur-
ner. state auditor. Total expenses for
the session were s117.O2s. which ex-
ceeded by S13,579 the previous high
record established in 1919.
Per diem and special allowances to
each of the 165 members amounted
to $500 for the session. This was in
addition to the special bonus allow
ances to employees, mileage of mem bers
and expenses for special committees
which visited state institutions.
Three General Appropriation Bills.
Three general appropriation bills to-
falling 100000 were passed during
the session, with a fourth bill carrying
an allowance of $50 for each member
which passed during the closing days
Each of the 165 members received the
$3.50 allowed for a fifty day session
under the constitution. They also
! voted themselves $3.50 additional for
postage. telephone and telegraph ex-
/ ense. Two legislative appropriation
expense measures of $4,000 each were
passed, while third was for 100000
and a fourth for sS,450. Two bonus
bills aggregated $3.50. The legisla-
ture also allowed members a total OF
SZ,O1S.SO Tor expenses incurred in
making trips to state institutions.
Expense of the special session of
1920 amounted to $4,000 and was
covered in single appropriation bill.
New Expense Record.
The session of 1919 set a new rec
ord for expense. Its appropriations
for work of the session amounted to
$103, ,450. Four years ago the legisla-
tive session cost the state S85, ,276.3S.
While the legislative session con-
tinued some twelve days beyond the
fifty-day time limit for which MEM
bers are paid. their special approppia-
tions took care of the extra time. APP
propriations to members for telephnoe,
telegraph and postage during the regu-
lar fifty days of 1912 activities
amounted to 800 for each legislator.
Final incidental allowances added an
other $50 for each member, bringing
the appropriation for each member
independent of mileage and special
trip expense--to $500 for the session.
Records of the session show there
was little general protest against the
extra allowances to members. Many
of the members who talked longest
and 1oudest about the downtrodden
farmers and the need of trimming
state department and institutional
budgets, voted regularly for the extras
which the legislators set aside for
their own needs

REDS TAKE BATUM
BOIsheviki Pillage Town Taken
From Turks.
The Turks, After Evacuating,
Shelled Town Heavily.

Constantinople, March 22.-Russian
Bolsheviki forces have occupied the
city of Batum.
After entering Batum the Bolsheviki
according to dispatches received here
pillaged the town for several hours.
Order was finally restored. The en-
trance of the Bolsheviki followed the
evacuation of the city by the Turks
The reports state that the Russian
were greeted enthusiastically by the
population.
Batum advices under date of March
90 stated that the Turkish nationalists
who recently occupied Batum had left
that city and that q. soviet Georgian
government had been established
there The Turks, it was added. were
shelling Batum, causing damage TO
property.
The Turkish nationalists occupied
Batum early this month. it was re-
ported from London, their arrival ap-
parently preceding that of Russian
Bolsheviki forces in the Caucasus
which had been attempting to reach
Batum before the Turks.
