States to impose either discrimi-
natory customs duties or dis
crlnlinatory tonnage dues. President
Wilson refused to execute this sec
tion of the Jones act, although he
had executed a similar provision in
the La Toilette seamen's act. He
based his refusal on the technicality
that Congress couldn't properly in
struct him to terminate parts of
treaties--a technicality which he
had waived previously when it suit
ed him to waive it.
The Jones act is .unrepealed, and
Section 81 may be enforced whenever
President Harding thinks the time
is ripe to do So 1t is unnecessary,
therefore, for Congress to make an
other effort by legislation to de-
nounce the restraining clauses in our
commercial treaties. When these
are swept away by Executive action
1t will be appropriate to impose
specific discriminatory duties and
tonnage dues. The Underwood act
began at the wrong end and accom-
plished nothing.

Confidence

Confidence is something almost as
difficult to define as it is to summon
at will, We know in a general way
that it proceeds from character, yet
there is more to it than this. The man
you sit next to, who is driving the
car, may have character, yet you
unconsciously stiffen your knees
when he goes around corners. When
you have confidence you are relaxed
and a double result is achieved: he
does well and you let him do we'll.
And is not this the difference be-
tween this Administrator and the
last one? We were curious about
Mr.. Hughes, but in quite a different
manner than about Mr.. Bryan. Our
curiosity about Mr.. Bryan soon wore
off. Think of the difference between
Bryan and Hughes! Think of the
difference between Burleson and
Baker and Daniels and others it is
not necessary to recall, on the one
side, and Mellon and Hoover and
hughes and Hayes on the other side.
And Dawes. Consider Dawes and
his ways.
On the one side were irresolution,
uncertainty, theory, wabbling, doubt.
Beautiful takers with large, wabbly
knives and conversation about the

fces you must make for humanity

Discriminatory Tariff Duties

The Fordney tariff bill drops that
subdivision of Section A of the Un-
derwood tariff law which allowed
rebate of per cent of the duties
on goods imported in American YES
sells. This section had been prac-
tically annulled by Treasury and
court decisions. Probably it was
never really meant to be enforced,
for the rebate paragraph was modi-
fled by the proviso that it should
not "be so construed as to abrngate
or in any manner impair or affect
the provisions of any treaty con-
cluded between the United States
and any foreign nation" :"
Since the United States had
treaties guaranteeing equality of
treatment to the vessels of nearly
all the other maritime nations, the
Treasury declined to allow any re-
bates, on the ground that the I'm
derwood provision was practically
non-executable. The courts sus-
tanned this view, it being obvious
that if Congress had really wanted
to establish a system of discrlml-
mating duties against goods carried
in foreign bottoms. it would have
tried frankly to repeal those treaties
by legislation or would have author
lied and directed the President to
terminate them.
In Section 81 of the Jones ship
ping bill Congress did authorize and
direct the President to give notice
to foreign nations of the termina-
ton of all articles or provisions in
our commercial treaties which re-
strict the right of the United

Crossing the Big River

AT last all the differences between
New York and New Jersey concern
ing the yehicular tunnel under the
North River seem adjusted, the
bonds for New jerseys share of the
work have been heavily oversub-
scribed, and bids for the first part
OF the New Jersey work arc about
to be advertised for. At the New
York end work was actually begun
some time age.
Now let the great and sorely
needed highway be constructed with
out another days unnecessary delav.
Every day long lines of vehicles NAV
De seen, often several blocks in
length, waiting their turns to get
aboard the ferryboats. 1t is not un-
usual for vehicle to be compelled
to wait until several boats have
crossed and recrossed the river.
Every morning and evening there is
congestion, and on holidays the con-
ditlons are often worse.
Before the Brooklyn Bridge was
opened many predicted it would
never carry much vehicular traffic.
But for years it has been over
crowded, and three other still more
capacious bridges are also thronged.
The population Immediately at the
west Of the Hudson is rapidly ap-
proximating in numbers to that at
the east of the East River, while the
tributary regions and the possibili-
ties of motor transit are almost linz
itless. This big tunnel will be over
crowded as soon as it is opened. We
need all the means of transit that
are ever likely to be provided across
under and over-the North River.
This is big city, and industrially
and residentially big part of it is
to the west.

Sim Fem Terror
Irish Newspaper Filled With Reports
of Deeds of Violence

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l havo read with amazement
the letters of your few pro-Sinn Fein
correspondents.
| was born in Ireland, and my I'M
mediate family now lives there. Every
week my brother (who fought at the
front for four years, having enlisted
when he was eighteen) sends me an
Irish newspaper. 1t is filed with re-
ports of murder and violence on the
part of Sim Feiners. Many women
are being murdered, and some of them
are innocent bystanders. The usual
method of murder is to kill from am
bush.
During the Easter rebellion of 1916
little cousin of mine was murdered
because he dared to give a drink of
water to a dying British soldier. A
Sim Feiner shot him through the
head as he lifted the cup to the lips
OF the wounded man. The defenders of
Sim Fein. will need the courage of
their convictions to eondone such a
chime, and there have been many SINH
lar murders, but ] quote this one be-
cause it came so near to me.
Admiral Sims was more than justi-
fed in his recent remarks. He know
what he is talking about, and that is
more than can be said of many pro-
Sim Feiners. Sinn Fein will need the
defense of it's friends when the truth
- kaawn. bur it viii. be knowp/if there
is any justice. Sim Fem is the dis
grace and ruin Of ireland, and there
are many honorable Irish people, both
mere and in Ireland, who know that
peace will never come to Ireland while
Sim Fem dominates it and while Sim
Ftin exerts its sinister influence tc
promote discord and rebellion.
TRUTH.

Plenary Authority

With respect to the debts owed to
the United States by foreign ma
tons these facts seem clear:
l. That it is Impossible for the
debtor countries to meet their obli-
cations now.
2. That the restrictions surround
ing the issue of Liberty bonds do
not give the Treasury Department
power to refund.
8. That the exact course or even
the general policy to be followed de-
pends on the result of financial
negotiations with many nations
which have not even been begun.
In view of these considerations the
delegation of authority to the Treas
ury Department must be broad. To
narrow it might preclude the very
settlement most desirable and prac-
teal. And as Congress at this time
may not wisely attempt to lay down
principles to be followed, so the
Treasury Department may not now
be asked to say in any specific
way what it intends to do. 1t does
not now know, nor can it. Possibly
a provision requiring approval by
Congress of the plan recommended
can be justified, but otherwise Sec
retary MELONS plea for plenary
authority seems unanswerable. The
spirit of opposition reported as ris-
ing in Congress is to be deprecated.
Refunding in some form is indis-
pensable. It is nonsense to expect
an early payment of o,oo0,-
600. And if the debts are kept in
an open account, at the rate of in
terest they now bear, it is equally
impossible to relieve our Treasury
by selling at anything near par any
kind of certificates of participation.
The only way out is by some refund
ing process, with the new securities
made salable. But how this is to
be done must, from the nature of
the problem, be left to the discretion
Of the President and his financial
advisers. Not to do this is to keep
taxes up.
New-York tribune., 1921-07-03
Routine York insufficient

Officers who are efficient in merely
routine or subordinate duties and COM
mands, the so-called practical" officer
who glories in his lack of "book lear
ing" and never deigns to study, the
swashbuckler and the noisy fighter,
though personally brave in a rough
andtumble contest, cannot meet the
situation in modern war. Ignorance
may be bliss for them, but not for the
navy!
These principles have been recog-
nized at times by the Navy DEPARTING ent
IN assigning officers to duty. But there
have been astonishing exceptions-in
fact. it would seem that the principle
has been deliberately and too aften
gnored for purely personal reasons
And the navy has suffered in conse-
quence.
1t is only proper to state that at
times an officer of War College train
ing may not be available for assign
ment as commander in chief or as chief
OIL naval operations. Sucn cases are
unfortunate. But the principle remains
just the same-otherwis the Naval
War College should be abolished as a
needless naval complication. 1t is
either necessary or unnecessary.
The subject is more vitality important
now than ever before. Fleets in the
Fast fought upon the surface of the
sea. Warfare was comparatively SIM
pie, especially in tactics. But to-day
it is very complicated. The fleet will
fight on three planes-on the surface,
above the surface and beneath the sur
face of the sea. The skillful coordina-
tion of the forces on these three planes
in battle justifies the statement: ain q
naval war as waged to-day we find the
greatest concentrated effort of men and
machines that the world has ever
known"
The commander in chief must know
the war game. And his subordinates
must know that he knows it, Other
wise we may face disaster upon the
sea.
New-York tribune., 1921-07-03
findings

The happy ending of young Frank
Schwartzs affair with the Muse,
with the Prix de Rome at the right
moment knocking at his garret door,
stands out in dramatic contrast to
that other news story whose ending
was tragic. A farmer, overcome by
fear lest the drouth should ruin his
crops, shot himself, and was found
three hours later in pool Of water
formed by sudden shower.
The penniless artist was facing
eviction from his attic, just as the
old man was facing financial ruin.
The ending could have been reversed
at the order of any fiction editor
without violating the rules of plot
construction. Despair could have
seized upon the young man as he
brooded over his failure, and it
could have been the landlady bring
ing the letter who found his lifeless
body. Courage could have come at
the right moment to the old man, or
a check from wandering son who
had just read a newspaper story
about Mothers Day.
External circumstances apparent
ly have little to do with endings.
The tyranny Of tomorrow" hovers
over all our lives. 1t is the inner
factor which decides. For one artist
who starves in his attic there are
scores who starve in imagination
until the pangs of anticipated
hunger drive them to surrender.
For one head of a family who loses
his home through business depres-
sion there are thousands who worry
themselves into the sanitarium.
Courage, optimism, luck, or
plain common sense-each man has
his favorite weapon against worry.
But it all comes to this in the end
that it is the man who never cringes
from tomorrow who lives to en-
JOY it.

Pulling Up Social Tares

DR.. John j. Tigert, the new Com
missioner Of Education, believes that
at this period, more than ever before
in our history, young people are Gu
rious to know the truth about
property rights, religion, sex and So
sialism. So speakers who know
something about these subjects are
to be sent throughout the United
States, especially to schools, to assist
the new generation to get it's facts
straight.
DR.. Tigert is a good man, the son
of a bishop, and was born in Ten
nessee. He is Rhodes scholar, has
an excellent war record, and prin-
ciples dear to true Americans are
safe in his hands. That these
principles are in need of repre-
sentation is a matter of common
observation. Our public schools and
colleges for the last few years. have
been victims Of a disintegrating
propaganda, much Of it delivered
by men, who, under the guise of
so-called intellectualism, have done
harm. 1t has become fashionable to
be radical and the immature are
caught by the superfciality and hui
manitarian pretenses of the sinister
philosophy of distinction. Seasoned
truth has been given scant hearing,
partly because the sensible did not
deem it worth while to answer what
seemed to them to be Stiffness and
partly because of a decoy Of serious
ness. DR.. Tigert, before he is able to
harvest a good crop of grain, will
discover it necesessary to pull up
many tares. But with zeal and a
good cause he should be able to eff
feet much.

Arms and the Mail Men

In arming railway postal en-
ployees against bandits Postmaster
General Hays shows a good Western
spirit. But the clerks complain Of
the weapons supplied. They are As
caliber United States army re-
volvers, too cumbersome and pro-
trusive, with their large holsters, to
carry when throwing mail. The
holsters, moreover, are left-handed.
The Colorado correspondent of The
Railway Postoffice writes:
zone might make stagger at do
J ing something with a .32-caliber gun,
say, an automatic, if worn in a right
hand holster, or, for that matter, with
these cannons, if one were permitted
to keep it lying ON the table where it
would be readily accessible. The best
argument against left-hand holster
is that no right-hand bandit, yegg-
man, robber, highwayman or cowboy
wears it that way, and it may be said
without fear of contradiction chat no
soldier would do so Voluntarily"
The editor Of the magazine quoted
agrees with his correspondent and
thinks the light automatic used by
express messengers is a much better
weapon.
The bandits have been quiescent
lately. The knowledge that now they
may encounter return fire may
have deterring influence. But pre-
paredness should be adequate. The
men on the postoffice firing line
might be consulted in the choice of
firearms. If Mr.. Hays will hold an
ordnance conference with his marks
men he will probably see merit in
their objections to the ''cannons.

Megaphonomania

This is a noisy world. and to at
tract attention in it it is necessary
TO speak above whisper. He who
really wants his neighbor to pass
the butter does we'll to yell for it.
Even the man Of letters, nominally
dedicated to "the still air of delight
full studies" is quick to adopt the
new vocal scale. Athwart that air
the publisher of a rising young nov
elist the other day let loose this:
X. Y. q. is the greatest writer liv-
ing. This is the opinion of the fore
most English and American authors
and critics-Arnold Bennett, MAY
Sinclair, W. L. George, Sherwood
Anderson, Amy Lowell, John Macy
and many others. In this age Of
great writers and revival of letters
such as the world has not witnessed
since Elizabethan times an author
who holds the topmost position is a
literary phenm enon that occurs onlv
contemporaries of X. Y. z. to remain
ignorant of his writings is like hav-.
ing lived in the age of Shakespeare
and remaining ignorant of his plays.
1t is only in Shakespearean line
that comment can fifty be made
"Bless thee, Bottom! bless thee {!
Thou art translated" The bystand-
er, indeed, nursing his split ear
drums as x. Y. T., goes careening by
on his fat wheels, is hardly in
clined to bless, but neither is he
moved to ban. He is sorry for the
poor wight and for the numerous
otaers who are in like case. After
all, the reader may easily change the
initials in the foregoing puff to suit
himself. The greatest writer living
is all over the place. And he is not
SO much an intentional offender
against the public ear as he is the
victim of disease.
Megaphonomania came in when
Hall Caine took to writing, as the
witty Max said, at the top of his
voice. 1t is to be distinguished from
sensationalism. That dates as far
back as Gautier, with his passion for
making the bourgeoisie sit up. No,
the megaphonomaniac is the one who
is shrill, strident, raucods, the pur-
veyor of sound and fury, the tub
ihpinper who makes his presence felt
by roosting in mankiad's aural cav
ity. Sometimes he is a skillful
player upon his instrument. Wit

The years will turn our lips and love
to ruin,
Beauty to dust.
Better to leave you while the worlds a

So shall old age find brilliant and un.

Took years to grow,
And in the ashes is the truth of beauty.
And this l know
The bud is lovely, but the tree in winter.
Though stark and bare,
Knows all the earth knows, and no love

Without despair
Too bright, too new, too shallow and

Is young loves heat
Give me the love that knows the bitter

Of loves defeat
Give me the love that grows through

More hard, more sweet.
