Operas That Caruso "Made."

There need be no uncertainty in
the minds of those persons who are
wondering whether or not the alb.
sence Of ENRrco CARUso from the list
OF singers at the Metropolitan Opera
House will have its effect on the
repertoire OF the institution. The
answer will positively be in the affirm
ative. While the general outline Of
the repertoire may not be seriously
affected, there are certain operas
which will not be heard again.
IL was not until Signor CARuso
came to the Metropolitan Opera
House that 'L'Elisir d'Amore' was
sung there. II not only contained in

America and the League.
A British Supporter Of the Covenant
Explains His Position.

To THE New York HERALD: On Au-
gust 10 last you reviewed an article OF
mine written for the London ReUictc OF
Rerietrs on the subject of the absence
OF America from the League of Nations.
May trespass upon your kindness in
order to point out what seems to me to
be a misconception Of my meaning?
You attribute to me a belief that the
failure of America to enter the League
rests upon a misunderstanding "of the
purpose and scope OF Mr.. Wilson's con-
cept." I have never attempted, and
should never think Of attempting, to ex-
press an opinion upon Mr.. Wilson's con-
cept of the League. What did venture
to suggest was that serious misunder-
standing prevailed In America as to the
nature of the League as 1t ie.
1t does not seem to me that, from the
point of view Of practical world politics.
IL Is OF more than academic interest
what the League would have been IL
what you describe as 'Mr. Wilson's
prospectus" had been realized; what we
are concerned with is the League as It
exists to-day. You state that had Mr..
WILSON DCGHN dliOWtu iiS WY III
affairs a supergovernmental league
would have been created. 1t may be 30.
But what I was concerned to affirm and
venture deferentially to reafiirm Is that
the existing League is not a superstate
and has none OF the features Of a super
state. The whole basis Of the League Is
agreement between It's members.
/ feel It would be improper Of me to
take UP your space by supporting this
statement with brief account OF the
manner In which the work OF the League
has been carried out since its Inception !;
though / should. of course. be only too
ready to do so if you desired II. Since.
however, It is clear from tho terms OF
your editorial article that this funda-
mental and very harmful misconceptIon
OF the League Is still entertained in
America, venture In all humility to ask
through your columns whether IL would
not be possible for number Of leading
Americans to make a visit to the head
quarters OF the League, examine its work.

truth OF the matter.

be the most beautiful melody that
DoNIzETTI ever composed but 1t re-
vealed the art and voice OF the In
comparable Italian singer at their
best. There would never have been
any thought of putting before opera
lovers of this generation HALEvY's
Ia Juive" but for the unique oppor-
tunity it offered to the tenor, both as
singer and actor. Although HALEvY's $
score said little to operagoers OF the
present generation, the brilliant per-
formance of the tenor received such
popular approval that the financial
results of the addition OF this thread
bare work to the repertoire were
phenomenal.
Such a result was possible only
during the later years Of the singers
presence in the company at the Met
ropolitan. His popularity had grown
so steadily that the work in which
he appeared really did not matter.
1t was nevertheless thought neces-
sary to add new roles to his long
list. During the earlier years OF his
stay here the result was different.
His popularity at the time of their
performance was not sufficient to
give life to "L'Africaine," "Armide"
or Julien 1t is probable that in
the last years of his life he could
have impaired the necessary vigor
even to these operas.
Such works as LA Boheme," Gar
men," "Tosca" and the stock operas
not especially associated with his
fame in later seasons will of course
continue to be heard. Even "Pagl-
iacci," which he had made all his own,
will doubtless be performed since
LEoNCAvALLo's work is too we'll liked
to be dropped from an already too
meagre list of popular operas. The
chief difference In the repertoire for
future seasons will be found In the
absence of the works that were per-
formed solely for the sake Of exhibit
Il ing the unique talents of the great
tenor. They will Of course play in
the future no part In the arrange
ment Of the seasons schedule.

Governor Rely Safely Through

qualification and pride that Governor
REILY's clear sighted diagnosis Of
the Porto Rican situation has been
confirmed by events. More than that,
his resolute yet temperate attitude to-
ward the promoters of the Indepen-
dista movement has borne the fruits
of victory, more speedily, perhaps,
than might have been expected.
When the new Governor reached
San Juan from Kansas City, bearing
President HARDING's appointment
and representing the policy OF the
Republican Administrator with re-
gard to the separatist politicians, he
lost not a moment in informing the
leaders of the party locally in power,
and the people Of the island gener-
ally, that Statehood was the goal Of
Porto Rico's destiny, and not seces-
sion, independence and Lone Star
flag in the place at the masthead now
occupied by the Stars and Stripes.
The notification was conveyed with
all the plainness of which either of
two languages Is capable. 1t was
understood but for time not ac-
cepted at face value by some of the
able gentlemen who have been exhib-
iting Elusive prospects to the people
whose votes they wanted. Threats
were heard and predictions were
made that 1t would take but a few
weeks to break" the new Governor
and his new policy Of standfast.
The new Governors feet did not
bulge under political pressure, and
signs of fracture in his spinal anat-
omy were lacking. The spectacle was
watched with unprecedented interest
from two points of view, namely, by
those hoping and those fearing. Not
long ago the patriotically American
Porto Rico Progress reported as O
significant incident the arrival of the
Governor and his family at the Union
Church in Santurce on a Sunday
morning just at the moment when
the congregation was singing the
hymn:
safely through another week." 49,.
He had come safely through that
week with his common sense Ameri-
canism, and he has come safely
through every week to date. An AS
sociated Press despatch from San
Juan informs the watching world
that the Central Board of the Union
ist party, the party controlling the
Legislature and occupying the cleo
tive local Offices, has given a vote Of
confidence to the Endorsement of Gov
ernor REILY's position by Senior TOR
RES, the party leader during the op-
perfume absence in Cuba and Wash
ington of Senior BARcEL6, the Presi-
dent of the Senate. The vote of re-
versal and acquiescence in the State
hood programme as against the sep
aratist, secessionist programme was
unanimous except for the voice OF
Sehor Col CUoHr, Speaker of the
Assembly, who now apparently be-
comes the boy on the burning deck
OF the Independista ship.
This action means much. THE
New York HERALD believes it repre-
sents great majority Of native opin.
ion and desire. Governor RELY is
to be congratulated on his steadfast-
ness and vertebral integrity. but the
people of Porto Rico, Of every shade
of political opinion, are chiefly to be
congratulated. They are on the road
to the glories and practical benefits
OF proud membership in our sister
hood of States.

Morals and Prices.

In his address before the West Vir
ginia Bankers Association at Park
ersburg on Wednesday DR.. BENJAMIN
M. ANDERSON Of New York, discours
ing on What Are Right Prices" ex
pressed, as an economist, the belief
that in these modern times there il
no moral issue in the prices at which
goods are sold. We quote briefly
from his remarks:
'~rhe question OF right prices has
been discussed too much as IL it were
a moral question. In the Middle
Ages 1t was chiefly discussed by
clergymen and largely on a theologi-
cal basis. The idea that prices are
morally right or wrong, just or un-
Just, Is an idea which has real mean
ing only in the case of very mar
row market as local retail market,
where one party to a buying and
selling contract Is pretty much at the
mercy of the other. But in the
great markets. where there are many
buyers and sellers questions of
moral right and wrong have little
to do with the matter. The question
Is an economic question. Those
prices are right from the economic
standpoint which keep the Industrial
machinery moving. Right prices
may be defined as prices which will
move goods"
A little later DR.. ANDERSON said:
fright wages are wages at which
full employment can be brought
about. We cannot Danish moral
principles from the determination of
wages an we can from the determi-
nation OF market prices of goods"
But is this true? Can one con
tingent of labor, for instance, con
spire to increase its own gains, as
recently seen in the British Goa
strike, at the expense of the rest Of
the public, without projecting the
moral issue beyond the question Of
wages into the question Of price:
out Of which these wages must come.
Is it the fact that the thirty pieces
of silver received by JUDAS, the be
trayer, connoted moral issue wher
considered as his wages, but thai
when considered as the price pait
for Him who was betrayed they con
noted no more blame than that which
attaches to an ordinary commercial
transaction?
1t is, we believe, correct to say
that no moral issue Is involved in
the prices at which goods are SOLD
when the prices are established, as
DIR. ANDERSON said, through the
working Of the unobstructed machin
cry of supply and demand. But there
cannot be right prices at which goods
will move IL there are wrong wages
artiflcially maintained too high OF
too low by coercion or conspiracy
because wages are the dominating in
fuence in establishing the level oi
prices.
1t is fruitless to try to put wages
up or down on moral grounds at the
same time expecting prices to adjust
strictly according to eco
nomic law. There is a moral issue
in both or In neither. They mus,
move hand in hand. The wave can
not be separated from the water.
