Ulster and Sim Fcin
To the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In letter to The Tribune.
"Unhyphenated American" states that
ulster before the war was armed to
the teeth to resist Home Rule and laid
down her arms only when she was
promised that the Home Rule question
would be deferred until after the war
was over"
This is proof of the broad minded
manner in which England's unhyphen-
ated American friends look upon the
Irish question. Ulster was perfectly
right in being earned to the teeth" to
coerce an SO per cent majority. but
when Sim Fem, the hope of Irishmen
around the world, endeavored to reason
with the militant minorit- the Lion
stepped in and said Ulster shall not
be coerced. All, noble land. where the
rights Of the minority are respected
even at the expense Of an overwheln-
ing majority
May ] also take notice Of the recent
trend of your editorials on Ireland :
You wish to point out that De Valera
has lost prestige with US in America.
1t is not so. With considerable pride
we can look on the work he has done
during the present peace negotiations
Verify, he is the Moses who will lead
the Irish out of the house Of bondage

Marine Insurance Hazards
Precautions in Writing Theft and Pilferage Risks
Dishonest Shippers Practices

certain address to be packed; the rub
bish was substituted there and the
goods estensibly bought for export
went right back to the vender. Cases
OF this kind run into the hundreds, and
think of the number of claims that
have been paid by insurers without
thorough investigation!
AS a result of this condition many
underwriters will now accept theft and
pilferage risks only from concerns
known to them for a number of years
as being above such practices, and ex-
clusively under open policy" contracts.
The London insurance market, led
by Lloyds Underwriters, have recently
put into effect ruling whereby no in
surance company can accept theft and
pilferagc risks in full. In this manner
rs per cent of the value is insured, the
assured himself carrying % per cent
of the risk. This clause has eliminated
u number of fraudulent claims, but has
been got around in some cases
whore the shipper of the goods was also
the manufacturer thereof. In order to
obtain full insurance he issued double
set of invoices, onc--for insurance pur-
poses--showing the goods to be worth
IS per cent more than the real value.
In this manner, in case Of pilferase
claim, he was protected to the full
, value of his goods under the rs per
cent clause!
The various steps taken by chambers
CT commerce, carriers and insurance
companies to overcome the pilferage
evil will undoubtedly bear some fruit,
but the most important changes in this
situation will come only gradually as
the f1y-bynight export concerns are
eliminated, shipping again put on an
efficient and responsible basis and
transportation labor weeded out until
only the reliable, honest and steady
are left. AAGE WOLDIKE.

An Impartial Decision
From The Toledo Blade)

The report Of the joint army and
navy boards on the aerial bombing
tests is curious document. The con-
clusion Was reached that the "battle-
ship is still the backbone of the fleet
and the bulwark Of the nations sea de-
Tense" Nevertheless, the opinion is
handed down that the aviation expert
ments "have proved that it has become
imperative as matter of national de-
Tense to provide for the maximum pos
sible development of aviation in both
the army and navy" BY all of which
we are to understand that while the
bettleship has not been given a bacl,
eye it is vital to go on the principle
that aviation may or can do that very
thing. Or to phrase it another way:
Spend the usual amount of money on
capital ships and more money on aero
planes.

Negro Self Assertion
Views of Marcus Garvey, Spokesman for Universal
Negro Improvement Association

unanimous decision that there should
be free and Independent Africa con-
trolled by negroes.
DR.. Du Bois objects to this plan be-
cause he fails to take into considera-
tion that the existing universal preju-
dice against negroes is not SO much
because they are black, but because
they have done nothing praiseworthy
en- their own initiative in the last five
hundred years to recommend them to
the serious consideration Of progress
sive races. They have made no po-
litical. EDUCATIONAL Industrial, indie
pendent contribution to civilization for
which they can be respected by other
racess thus making themselves unfit
subjects for free companionship and
association with races which achieved
greatness on their own initiative.
The Universal Negro Improvement
Association, which l represent, seeks
to prove to the world our ability as a
race politically, socially, industrially
and religiously, and after this accom-
plishment we feel sure all races will
be willing to accept US on an equal
footing. DR.. Du Bots, to the contrary,
seeks to have the white race admit ne
groes to full enjoyment Of all the priv
ileges produced by the white race with
out any cxertion or effort or the part
Of the negro to do for himself
Until the negro shall have proved
himself fit by constructive measures
which no appeal to mere humanity can
overcome.

an invoice is in doubt. Furthermore, in
addition to the foreiga commercial in
voice, our customs officials have the
viscs of the American eonsuls at point
ofsorigiu and the valuable and volrmi-
nous reports of commercial attaches to
guide them. Has any one suggested
that the customs officials, when called
upon to fix values, will exercise any
greater care than in the past?
AS to illegitimate practices, it should
be unnecessary to suggest that the per-
centage of "skuldaggery' among pro-
fesssonal Importers is negligible. 1t
is too easy for the government to de-
tect fraud, and the penalties are too
severe to tempt many away from the
strait and narrow path.
In recent issue of The Tribune an
peared letter by F. D. Dodge quoting
from statements of Thomas o. Marvin
and OF William Burgess, both members
of the tariff commission purporting to
show that foreign houses make prac-'
tice Of furnishing falsified invoices
''Tor customs purposes only" and i'm
plying that Importers largely make
use of these falsiied documents.
Mr.. Marvin, in support of HRS con-
tention, cites the isolated case of a
New Hampshire man who bought a
lady's suit apparently from some mail
order house in Great Britain> for which
he paid s1O, and eeho claims there was
enclosed with the regular invoice an
other for So, marked 'for customs pur-
poses only MIR. Marvin proceeds to
deduce that this kind of fraud is a
common practice. even with concerns
andling large transactions.
As viee-chairman of the tariff COM
mission we should expect Mr.. Marvin
to preservesa judicial attitude.
For him to pronounce, without ap-
parent justification, sweeping indict-
mcnt of the entire importing profess
sion mystiSes one.
AS to Mr.. Burgess's statement that
"there are foreign goods to-day coming
into this market, which, when sold on
the American market, show profit
running frem 100 to 800 per cent of
their factory cost" md zone case" that
came under his notice that Showed
profit of 1850 per cent" We who are
pleased with l or . per cent can only
gasp! Z. B. WRIGHT.

The Child Worker
Conditions in North Carolina Noun
tains Worse Than in Mills

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: acknowledge the courtesy Of
your correspondents reply TO my letter
on the use Of children in the cotton
mills Of North Carolina. I agree with
every word she says, with enthusiasm
and emphasis But in these practical
days l say, what are you going to do
about t?"
Evidently your correspondent is not
acquainted with either the geographical
or the social conditions of the noun
tains Of North Carolina. If she were
she might admit that the conditions of
work in the average cotton mill in
North Carolina are far better than the
conditions of life in many of the noun
tain homes especially for the women
and children. She cannot know the
lack Of educational opportunities or
she would sec that these periods of
work in the cotton mills represent the
only chance of education and the
only chance OF relief from far heavier
farm work and very much more re-
stricted home conditions.
Work for children is purely compare
tive, whether in North Carolina or New
York. There are children in New York.
who work, and work harder and under
worse conditions than those in the cot
ton mills There are many families
here in New York that are held to-
gether by the work of the children.
The day OF theory divorced from
practicalities has passed. Our effort
to-day is to improve conditions by
steady progress, and you have to be-
gin with conditions as they are. The
conditions in the mountains are worse
than those in the mills, and the mills
can be used as stepping stone to still
better conditions. w. D. CHAPMAN.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The Universal Negro Improve
ment Association desires, through me,
to correct the impression that may
have been made by the statements Of
w. f. Du Bots and so-called PAN
African Congress assembled in Paris
on the 9Th inst. that Marcus Garvey
was repudated in his plan of Africa
for the Africans, and that it was not
the desire of American negroes ut any
time to settle down in Africa, as they
could not withstand the climate Of
that country; that negroes should set
tie down where they are, and make the
best of the conditions under which
they live"
The Universal Negro Improvement
Association called an international
convention of negroes, which assem-
hlcd in New York from the 1st to the
2lst of August last. Three thousand
delegates from every known part of
the world, including Africa, the West
InGies, South and Central America,
Europe and the forty eight states Of
the American Union, attended. The
delegates who attended were all elected
by the people Of their respective COM
munities to attend the convention and
to speak in their name.
The purpose Of our convention was
to devise ways and means to bring
about all independent government in
Africa which through it's strength and
national prestige would lend protec-
ton to negroes everywhere. After q
discussion lasting thirty-one days and

American Valuation
Squirting the Black Race
From the Importer S Side
Amercan Valuation Plan of Fordney Bill Not War
rantcd by Charge of False Invoices
10 the Editor OF Tha rr,oun..

To the Editor OF TIE r-r,ouns.
Sir. If the "A,nerican valuation
Fann sof the sFerdney tariff bill is best
Il should receive every ones support.
and ~a may assume that even those
Who now fear its disadvantages would
be anasnablc to arguments showing how
1t can be administered SO as to insure
greater measure of fairness to the
United States than has attended the
administration Of the present system
of levylng duties upon values declared
IN the foreign invoices.
Ike proposed change, however, is a
drastic one, and it would work con-
siderable hardship. For example, a
great bulk of the business of importing
IN many lines is done under contract.
Furthermore, although the volume may
be large the percentage OF profit is small
and risks are numerous. In conse-
quence, the importer must figure his
costs with precision.
It is now possible for one to fix
definitely the price he will pay to the
foreign producers; the transportation
and Insurance costs; and under the
present system he can spredetermine,
to a cent, the amount of duty he must
pay. All Of which makes it possible to
contract, with reasonable safety, the
price and delivery to the manufacturer
or to the jobber, in the United States.
Thus far the ore argument CT moment
in favor OF changing to an American
valuation plan is that foreign invoices
are scrrt lines falsifed, and as a re-
suit she United States Treasury is
eheated out Of its just dues.
Leslie H. Shaw's statement that

eminent si0.eeo;ooo to sao,ooO00 an

States government loss amounting to
anything like the sum claimed. But, if
it is true, does not the fact reflect
quite as much upon the competence
