Sympathy for Mrs. Bergdoll.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
I'D like to commend the attitude
of Daniel Smith Gordon on the
Bergdoll matter. He is the first
who has had the courage to express
his opinion.
My sympathies during the war
were naturally with the allies. as
was born in America and my
parents were English. and had
IL cousins in the English army. but
/ feel. like Mr.. Gordon, that IL is a
natural instinct of a mother TO pro-
tect her son.
l think it would be better to
look after people committing hor-
rible crimes. such as the murder
committed by Mrs. Pearl O'Dell.
She hasn't been in prison a year.
but some hysterical women feel
that she should be freed. II Mrs
O'Dell is free, other lives are en-
dangered, while with Mrs. Bergdoll
free. nobody is harmed. have

School Leaders Pleased.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Both Are One" your editorial of
Saturday morning. May 2l, is high
ly pleasing to the educational
leaders of the nation.
The principle that education is
the heart Of all welfare. which you
stated so admirably. has been dem
onstrated over and over again. From
the standpoint of the nation, edu-
cation is the great investment
From the standpoint of the individ-
ual, an education is the most val
liable of capital assets The wealth
of the nation must eventually go to
children now in the schools. In no
other use ,yill it yield returns both
to them and to the nation that are
at all comparable to the enormous
dividends that come in consequence
of adequate education

Attacks Rail Agreement.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Please publish the following COM
ment in your letter column:
1t is very samusing when one
reads of the different causes Of the
failure of The railroads as put down
by the railway employment depart
ment of the American Federation Of
Labor. One time they put the blame
on the dividends. next time on mis-
management, which at one time was
Sl,250.000. and now has risen to Se,-
100000. Any honest worker on the
road will admit that when the ma
tfonal- agreement went into effect It
was drawn Up by men who knew
nothing of railroads. Men formerly
employed as cleaners. former chauf-
feurs, even former bartenders, OBJ
tained good positions as mechanics,
electricians, etc, through forged let
ters which gave them previous ex-
perience at a trade.
This national agreement became a
burden on the railroads. because
where two men were employed be-
fore, 1t required three. and their
helpers. This caused an excessive
pay roll, making IL necessary for
the roads to raise passenger ano
freight rates. Men were paid for
ringing in and out their time. which
has never been done in any branch
of business before. Now. It is no
wonder that the unions fought so
hard for the national agreement. IL
added TO the earnings Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and in
creased the membership.

Upholds Irish Character.

To the Editor. TAe Washington Herald:
In The Herald of Friday,
Man 20, / had the pleasure OF
reading a letter from Mr.. Elijah Z.
Knott. In that letter Mr.. Knott
says: "A letter In the New York
Times on Irish CHARACTERISTICS is
very appropriate TO the time. IL
typifies the Irish character perfect
ly. He is ever shouting for liberty
and freedom under all governments
whether national, state. city or
town. and when they get 1t to the
fullest, 1t is about the opposite of
liberty or freedom in the sense
civilization uses the words" / am
going to read Mr.. Knott's letter a
few times yet. just for practice; it's
interesting not only because Of the
lucid way in which he handles the
subject. but also because IL has
some of the distinguishing marks
Of a cryptogram.
But MT. Knott should not be too
hard on the Irish for asking for
freedom under all governments
whether national. state. city or
town" That is ''crime" OF which
many races are guilty. In fact
Americans are not wholly guiltless
of 1t. Some indeed have been bold
enough to say that the aspiration
for liberty is virtue. At any rate
the Irish do not pretend to have a
monopoly Of II. and IL seems unfair

Raps Irish Propaganda.
10 the Editor. The Washington Herald:

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
As a reader interested in the Irish
controversy. would like to COM
ment upon the article of E. NJ
Io'Sullivan which appeared in your
columns recently.
Mr.. O'Sullivan appears to be much
perturbed over the efforts of British
propagandists in this country, but
while he SO solemnly warns us
against their insidious schemes. h.
neglects to mention the extensive
publicity campaigns which the Irish
are conducting.
Last year De Valera and others
toured the United States on a ma
tion-wide junket for the express
purpose of spreading Sinni Fein
ideas. At the present time the fam
lily of MacSwiney is travelling about
upon the same purpose. The Irish
are conducting a comprehensive
campaign which is well supplied
with "the wherewithall" to make
1t go.
Their speakers are spreading tales
of British atrocities which have
been proved to be absolutely false
yet thlS Is ali right Wnile brfisn
publicity is all wrong. l cannot see
it that way. What is sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander. and
IL English publicity is wrong. Irish
propaganda is equally SO.
If we Americans are going to
abolish foreign publicity campaigns
we should do a clean job and sweep
it all out of the door. Irish as well
as English. The F. o. 1. F. have no
right to ask suppression of Eng
lands viewpoint while demanding a
wider spread of their own brand.
Last year De Valera gave an ad-
dress here which received the re-
spectful attention of all, but when
two weeks later a group of Ulsterite
ministers presented ther side of the
case the Irish sympathizers created
such n disturbance that the police
had to be called.
1t is time that they realized that
this policy is turning the great mass
of Americans against their cause. for
IL we love anything, 1t is a square
deal. and the man who plays clean
without winning when he loses. y
