"CHINA WEEK" is
SUPREME EFFORT
OF FUND WORKERS

AS. a practical and popular demon
stration Of the sympathy Of the nation
for a sister republic, "China Famine
week. to be observed throughout the
United States, has been set for the
eight days from Sunday, May i, to
Sunday, May 8, inclusive.
In this week it is hoped that the
churches and civic, commercial and
professional bodies will take an active
part. The success Of this week will
determine largely the amount Of re-
lief which can be sent through per-
sonal sacrifice to 100000 starving
people still dependent on outside aid.

and when we came in, they proposed
a toast to "Josephus Daniels Of N.

we made no effort to concealthe fact
that we both admire ~ approve of
our secretary of the Navy, but we
all know that his attitude toward
whiskey, has killed him with the boys
over here.
| l did not tell you how much we en-
ijoyed the opera at ola Fenice". 1t
was just comic opera and very light
one at that (The Giesha) but the
theater was perfectly splendid. It has
about hundred and fifty boxes, all
decorated in good taste, and a large
fine orchestra. The voices were every
thing one could desire, but the CO.'S
tunes were not so good as New
York theaters provide-but just
think of going foreight cents apiece.
"Aida" was given last night and it
was possible to get to see this for
two cents, but the best seats range
as high as forty cents, though that
is the limit. You would think from
this that we would go every night,
but you Gee it is too much on us phys
ically. These plays are long drawn
out affairs, with intermission be-
tween each act, during which re-
freshments are served, so it keeps
you out until one o'clock. 1t is pos
sible to keep going night and day,
so we don't try it very often.
We leave tomorrow for Milan
which will be our last Italian city,
but the prospects after Venice are
not very alluring. Here during all
this past month, it has been so mild
and pleasant that it is hard to believe
it is still winter. Milan is right in the
mountains so there can be no hopes
of finding another Venetian climate.
Tell Wallace I have been to the
"Rialto" often, and thought of our
"Merchant of Venice" days, but the
oonly really familiar picture are
the "ShyIocks, which like the poor
we have with us always. We know
they fleece us every day, but in sight
of their poverty, you find much to
excuse.
No bread, no fuel and in fact but
little of anything except fruit and
vegetables, and, while these items
may be very good to fill in with, they
are a mighty poor diet for a main
dependence. These soldiers who were
sworn to day will draw one cent day
as their pay, think of it, though the
government does not give them their
clothes and food: hence many prefer
to be assured of that much, and stay
on in the service.
/ think tie price of cotton and
genc-al depression has a far deeper
cause than what President Harding
might do about the Federal Reserve
Bank. It is the rate of exchange,
and until their money has greater
value in every land, they simply can
not buy our raw materials.
With much love,
GRACE.

The Rurnor Factories

To read some headlines from
Washington is to gather the impress
sion that the conference is an armed
camp and that the representatives
Of the different nations rarely meet
without physical combat.
This is a regular phase of every
international conference. AS soon
as the delegates are absorbed in
their work there is a slackness in
news. 1t follows that all manner of
rumors naturally arise. A certain
school of journalism has the tradi-
tion that the public loves to hear of
a quarrel. The rivalry between
France and England, which goes
back nearly thousand years, is re-
discovered. If the Italians take a
position differing from that OF
France a split between the two ma
tions is headlined.
1T seems" mildly said Premier
New-York tribune., 1921-11-28
Closed Sessions

There is reported from Washing
ton latent resentment among some
of the foreign delegates against al
lowing too much light upon the con-
ference proceedings. Even the
closed sessions are not secret
enough to suit their. traditions.
Although the closed sessions are
confdential--and reasonable people
recognize that the solution of dis
puted questions in their first stages
is not forwarded by shouting from
the house tops-the secretariat Of
the conference has manifestly made
an earnest effort to give the press
after each closed session, a full re.
port of the business done during
the meeting. Besides this prompt
service of communicates, there has
been frankness on the part Of the
representatives of certain nations.
The American delegation has
been admirable in this respect, and
the example Of Mr.. Hughes's daily
conferences with the correspondents
has played no small part in leading
the other powers to give as much in
formation as possible to the public.
The difference between Paris, 1915,
and. Washington, 1921, has beer
much remarked. The head of the
American delegation in Paris prom
ised pitiless publicity. But secrecy
followed. The Hughes way has
proved better.
That gentlemen, as soon as doors
are locked, plunge into dark con-
spiracies is, Of course, silly myth
New-York tribune., 1921-11-28
Chairman Madden's Warning

This Congress has been censured
for not giving the country better
tax revision law. The Democratic
minority and the agricultural bloc"
upset the plans Of the House and
Senate leaders and wrote into the
act some of the vagaries Of the
Kitchin taxation policy. But OH "a
related issue, the reduction Of gov
ernment expenditure, there is, hap
PLY, no quarrel between the Repub-
lican managers and the Kitchin COM
hination.
Chairman Madden of the House
Appropriations Committee sharply
criticized Admiral Coontz, chief of
naval operations, the other day when
the latter requested deficiency ap-
preparation of S27 100000: There is
a law fcrbidding departmental off,
GER to incur a deficiency, except in
case of emergency. The law was
ignored under the last Administra-
tion. Probably many of Mr.. Bakers
and Mr.. Daniels's spenders forgot
that it existed. But Chairman Mad
den hasn't. He told Admiral Coontz
that he would try to have it en-
forced if nobody else would. The
Navy Departments request was
turned down.
1t is gratifying to know that the
habit Of creating deficiencies is to be
cured. President Harding has or
dered all executive officers to keep
within their spending allowances.
Last December the Wilson Admin
istration demanded $555,OOO,000 to
meet deficiencies. Congress voted
$275,000,000. In order to take care
Of neglected disabled veterans this
Congress will have to appropriate
about $100,o0o,oo0 for deficiencies.
But it will try to stop there. When
the new budget system goes into ef-
feet next week there will no longer
be any excuse for overexpenditure
or the submission of post-mortem
estimates.

Accelerator Danger
To the Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The other morning The Trib-
une had an account of an accident
caused by pressing the accelerator on
an automobile in place Of the brake.
The driver lost her life. A few weeks
ago you had an account of an accident
due to the same cause. Three lives
were lost. There are on an average
two or three people killed every day in
this city alone, and 1t is a pretty safe
assertion to make that large number
of these deaths are caused by pressing
the accelerator in place of the brake,
although the driver will not always
admit it.
Is 1t not time that we started a CAM
paign against the use of automobiles
so controlled that such accidents are
not only possible but probable?

The Promoted Landlady

Let him who has never tasted
prunes cast the first aspersion upon
the movement to abolish landladies.
The "hostesses" who are to reign
in their places are pictured by the
Association to Promote Proper Hous-
ing for Girls as creatures of the
noblest impulses, who would pur-
chase only the freshest Of fruits, who
would never scold a lodger for MAX
ing coffee in her room and would
not press her for the rent when she
is jobless. She has come into being,
it is said, because of the accursed
spirit of independence that is abroad.
If the landlady treats a girl rough
to-day off she goes to girls club or
she takes to herself trio of pals,
and together they hire an-apart-
ment, of course. So the landlady has
passed out, like the cab horse and
the dodo, a victim Of evolution.
1t is possible, however, that
"hostess" and an old-fashioned land
lady are SISTERS under their SKINS"
Americans are prone to dress up
their spades as agricultural nipple
ments. In land where each man is
as good as his neighbor, if not bet
ter, words left over from an earlier
social epoch which emphasize differ
ences in worldly estate quickly get
out of date. Master and man are un-
known terms in this country. Even
"hired man" puts the emphasis on
the financial arrangement, serving
notice to all the world that the work
er is a free-will agent. So the servant
soon learns to call herself the maid,
and recently she has been glorifed as
! household engineer and mothers as
sistant. The hired hand becomes the
worker and then the employee. We
take positions instead Of getting Jobs.
The same subtle snobbery attacked
the clearinghouse world once be-
fore when the decayed gentlewoman
unable to endure the thought OF
lodgers, bethought her of the happy
device OF paying guests" Now she
is to call herself "hostess," with the
tacit understanding, Of course. that
