Futile Whispering

Speaking of the whispered discus
sions of whether it is safe to blow
down the muzzle Of the peace trea-
ties, the ever-faithful David Law.
renee remarks concerning the reser-
walton program which is favored:
"These tactics are curiously like
those followed by the Republicans
when Woodrow Wilson submitted the
Treaty of Versailles"
But with one striking difference.
Messrs. Harding and Wilson are dis
similar. Mr.. Wilson scrapped his
treaty because denied the exact form
of ratification he demanded. Is Mr..
Harding likely to initiate him in
this? Should majority of the SEN
ate attach reservations to his treaty,
would he forthwith kill it? Some
how We can't see Mr.. Harding play
ing so unreasonable a role. Nor can
any one else. Mr.. Harding not only
asks the consent but would have the
advice of the Senate. Are there res
ervations which 2 majority of the
Senate seriously believes are needed?
If there are such they should be pre-
sented and matured. The President
and his Secretary Of State are not
men of cement minds, and the de-
liberate judgment of the Senate
would have, as it should, great
weight with them.
knowledge that it is not safe to
take for granted that Warren is an
other Woodrow is a doubt that is
present at the Washington private
conferences. 1t jumps out, a dis
turbing guest, as often as Senator
"Pat" and "Br'er" Carter think thew
have arrived at a plan.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-09-29

Under the skillful pilotage of Sec
rotary Hoover the Harding unem-
ployment conference, composed of
representatives of employees, en-
ployers and of the general public,
has agreed on recommendations.
Those now steadily at work are
asked to lay off day or two week
and give the unemployed chance.
Next it is urged that extensions and
repairs of plants be now made.
Thirdly, as far as is possible, that
goods be manufactured and stored
until there is revival of a normal
demand.
It will not be claimed that this
program will work miracles. In the
main it recognizes the truth that
only gradually will business find a
way out of the wilderness. But the
program will do some good. Here
and there employers and employees
will be stimulated into action, and
the example will be catching.
The main thing is to convince
manufacturers and merchants who
for six months have endured a sue
cession of shocks that the bottom in
prices has been reached. The way
prices have tumbled since spring
seems to leave no doubt. When there
is a rise, even slight one, buyers
will not need to be exhorted to re-
stock empty shelves. Selhshness
will work for the general interest,
and not against it.
The great power of organized
labor has so far been thrown against
breaks in the wage scale. This, of
course, is to the advantage of union
lists who have kept their jobs at
war wages, while at the same time
getting the benefit of lowered living
costs, and to the disadvantage of
the great mass of workers, who are
forced to meet labor competition.
Talk of the class war! The real
class war is not between employers
and employed, but between different
kinds of workers!
Fairness has demanded more
equal subsistence of the wage rate.
But union leaders, playing on preju-
dices and emphasizing half truths,
have successfully bamboozled VIC
tims-have made many believe that
a hundred days of employment at
So day brings more money home
than three hundred days at SIS.
About all that can be expected in
the way Of a juster division is the
job diffusion suggested by the Wash
ington conference.
But the recommendations propose
no permanent cure-are defensible
only as emergency measures. Wages
can be kept up and prices at the
same time kept down in no other
way than by increasing the product
of each labor unit. Should the prac-
tice of laying off deaden desire to
labor diligently it would in the end
be most harmful.

Asked Why he SO promptly plunged

American Artists
League of New York Artists Secre-
tary Replies to Cecilia Beaux

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS managing secretary of the
League Of New York Artists, Inc,
society composed of more than 5000
American painters and sculptors, |
wish to take exception to the ideas
expressed by Miss Cecilia Beaux at
the international Art Congress in
Paris and reported by you in an AS
ISOLATED Press dispatch yesterday.
That "America will have to find it's
chief inspiration in Holland Italy, and
especially in France" is an absurdity
infinitely increased by the fact that
American artists, as artists, have no
delegation at the present time in the
International Art Congress.
In view of this particular artists
remarks it is pleasing to American
ears TO hear that the French and other
nationalities represented at the con-
ference had agreed that the specimens
of American art they have seen in
tablished in this country.
This is not only true, but the Amer
lean people have now begun a move
ment to clear the way and make free
the exposition OF all developments IN
the arts and crafts. They are demand
ing the new notes as soon as they can
get them and the absolute freedom of
the artist in exhibiting his work. that
nothing may be lost to the honor and
glory of their Republic
To-day our oncoming artists are
technically as proficient in almost all
departments of arts and crafts as were
the men of any period of design his
tory.
America is now turning her attention
to the recording of her achievements
IN art. Architecture has taken new
lien on life, and no longer relies upon
the design Of the past. American en-
gineers, true artists, have surmounted
the highest plane in human achieve
ment, and have long since placed
America foremost in civilization.
American artists are and should be
thankful for the traditions of Euro
pean countries, but it must not be fer
gotten that we have our own tradi-
tons as we'll. Such men as Robert
Fulton, Samuel F. B. Morse and many
others were artists and gave to the
world the steamboat, the submarine
and the telegraph. Others of lesser
distinction have contributed their share
to the civilization in which America
leads
From the cloud of the World War
just concluded America energies with
head erect and with face toward the
future. The great spirit of adventure
is still in che veins of American
artists. and the urge to create has row
manifested itself in full force.
The National Academy Of Design and
the Art Students League present
schools of art instruction which Amer
lea may well be proud of 1t is no
longer necessary for the young student
to journey to Europe for instruction.
AS sure as there is an American
Declaration of independence the League
OF New York Artists, Inc, will function
as league OF American artists and
fight the intrusion of foreign ideas and
uphold the traditions of our own coup
try and reflect our native environment
Art is great national asset and one
OF the most potent mediums for tnas
consolidation Of our people which is %
manifestly needed to-day

that he is sensitive of criticism of
Barbara's behavior because she is so
loyal and so chaste in Chapter VI and
so otherwise in Chapter TX, now an
lmperlous queen, then yielding sweet

What do you Supposed
They cat simply nothing but dirt.
And their old Mother Earth
Piles tho bedding so thick.
You'd certainly think II would hurt.
And when they are grown
She dresses them UP
In the finest OF beautiful clothes,
But most Of them cannot
Be buttoned on tight
For they fell off. as every ono knows
At breakfast they cat
a portion of dew.
And for lunch they have daylight and

They cry all tho while
For n dinner OF Sun,
But old Mother Earth doesn't care.

They often have bugs"
And they ba;hc in an indifferent way.
FOR either she turns on
The rain once month.
Or washes them hard every day.
