"TT'S shame You didn't get that job
L instead Of Helen" sympathized
Lucy's best friend.
Helen and Lucy had been together in
the mail order department Of the firm,
and Helen had been chosen to fill the
vacancy which had occurred in n
slightly higher position.
Helen needed II just as much as
Lucy. If not more. but, of course, n
best friend is prejudiced.
But Lucy smiled nonchalantly at the
words of consolation.
''Oh, don't mind" she said, care
lessly, Helen will probably do better
with it than I would--what's the use
Of worrying about job? I'll get mar

OF course, it was very nice Of her
not to be upset by Helen's good luck
which might have been hers. but what
a foolish way to look at the future!
Lucy was not engaged, she had ne
immediate or near future prospects OF
being married, and her family was MOI

That, and Not the Right to Strike,
Is the Present Issue.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: I have
read the excerpts from Cardinal O'Con.
nelrs pastoral letter which you published
last Sunday under the headline Gar.
dinal Justihes Right to Strike-Boston
Prelate Says State Has No Right te
Stop Just Walkout."
1t is evident from the context Of the
excerpts printed that the Cardinal is
writing under misapprehension of the
situation which now confronts the pub
lie. 1t Is not the right to strike that
is in jeopardy but the right to work.
Organized labor Is using the same
methods that it always employs to force
compliance with its demands: I'VE will
not work and none others shall" Can
didates for leadership in organized labor
ranks know that the surest way to pro-
motion is by service in the knockout
gang.
How long the American public will
permit. the practice OF intimidation and
terrorizing to continue is question.
The limit Is about reached when little
children. the sick and invalids. are pre-
vented from getting their proper food
by methods that highwaymen resort TO
only when themselves endangered.

Wires and Fog Fatal to Birds.

Travellers along highways during
the periods of bird migration in the
spring and fall often come across the
bodies of game birds which have been
killed by contact with telegraph and
telephone wires. In foggy weather
the bird death rate from this cause
is naturally higher than at other
times.
The electrification Of railroad lines
has brought a new peril to the birds.
and it is not unusual for track
walkers to find along the right Of way
woodcock, ducks, geese and ruffed
grouse which have been killed by
flying against the feed wires. This
happens frequently in such weather
as New York has had at night In
the past few days.
When the airplane first came into
use many flight birds were killed
by collision with the machines.
With the onward march of progress
the air offers new dangers to the
myriads of feathered creatures which
move about in accordance with the
silent urge of nature sending them
hither and thither in response to the
call Of the seasons.

A Negro Asks Justice.
Reply to q White Critic Of President
Harding's Address.

To THE New York HERALD: A South
erner writing to your paper from At
lanta, Georgia. says that political and
economic equality cannot be given to
the negro without the whites having to
share social equality with us. That is
quite true and there Is no need of try
ing to deny II. But social equality
Just means to treat our people squarely
and to encourage them to be an asset of
great worth to the nation.
Your correspondent fails to give any
convincing facts and statistics to show
that the educated negro will not till the
soil. Thus his argument is based on
moro prejudice.
Just how any we'll read white person
can overlook the horrible crimes COM
nitted daily the country over by white
people and then brand US as set of
criminals IS beyond my comprehension.
AS to Mr.. Harding. he belongs to that
small category OF men who believe In
justice and liberty for all. The white
South may look to him as sincere
friend and as one who would not mar
the purity of his race. The negro can
trust him for wise and just counsel.
And the nation may depend upon him
for true guidance and loyalty In the
hour of trying crisis.
Yes, we want justice and equality,
and the example OF high and holy life
from a people who boast OF their su-
periority to us. HENRY ALLEN.
HARRISON, November 10.

State Ownership's Collapse.

The socialistic dream of govern.
ment ownership and operation OF
basic industries and public utilities
has come in for some hard knocks OF
late. Even in France, long welded
by tradition to this form of paternal
ism, movement looking to the di.
vorce Of the Government from busi.
ness is under way.
In an article in the Revue des Deuz
Mondes one of Frances highest eco.
nomic authorities. RAPHAEL GEORGES
Levy. urges that the Government di.
vest itself as speedily as possible OF
all the varied forms Of business activ-
ity in which it is engaged. This ap-
plies not merely to the industries
forced under government control by
war exigencies but to every form Of
governmental business which in.
fringes on the natural field OF indi-
vidual enterprise.
Large groups of railroads. includ.
ing those recently acquired with Al
d
sace-Lorraine, are now operated by
the French Government. NJ. Levy
would have every mile OF them
handed over to private management.
Likewise he would have the tobacco
business and the match trade, Gov
ernment monopolies for many years,
released for private exploitation.
He also would have the Govern
ment get out Of the telegraph and
telephone business, in which, as com.
pared with the success achieved by
private management in the United
States, it has cut anything but u
brilliant figure.
NJ. LEvy has no faith in govern
ment capacity for business and
so declares. In his opinion govern.
ment assumption of business func-
tions invariably means overloaded
payrolls, relaxed individual effort.
waste, extravaganza and minimized
responsibility, both collective and in.
The New York herald., 1921-11-21

dividual. BY customs duties and
taxes levied on the industries tho
Government revenues might be heavi
ly increased over those derived from
their State operation, he argues. He
contrasts the return from the Govern
ment's monopoly Of the tobacco trade
in France with the British Govern.
ment's revenue from taxes and GUS
toms duties levied on the same bust
ness in private hands. Last year the
net return to the French Government
from its tobacco monopoly was S70,.
100000 francs. From import duties
on tobacco and internal taxation on
the trade the British Government in
the same period collected 100000. 900.
At normal exchange this would be
1,500, ,000, 900 francs. M. LEVY says:
Let us restrict the Government to
its true attributes. National defence.
foreign affairs, the administration of
justice. public works beyond munich
pal resources and public instruction
without pretending to assume COM
plete monopoly Of the same--here is
field large enough to engage the ac-
tivities Of ministers and parliaments.
Everywhere else let us permit the
country to do its own business and
let US replace functionaries with free
men responsible for their enterprises"
In other words, more business in
government and less government in
business" as President HARDING put
it. 1t is maxim which the wars
bitter experience has demonstrated
to be sound. The socialistic govern
ment ownership obsession still lin.
gers in spots. In the end, like all
other delusions. 1t must go.
