Hamlet Grave
Psychical Researcher Explains That
Somebody Was Only Joking
To the Editor of The Tribunc.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: When / read your editorial in
to days issue entitled THE Grave Of
Hamlet I at first naturally supposed
it joke, but afterward it seemed o.
though so much research and grave
discourse could not have been employed
unless you really believed that you
were demonstrating the folly Of the
poor deluded psychical researchers.
AS | do not suppose that you wish TO
start myth which will be solemnly
quoted for years, as was the myth that
DR.. Osler was in favor of asphyxiatiug
people after they come TO certain
age, you Will permit rne to inform your
readers what were the facts.
One day of our stay in Copenhagen
was spent in visiting the old royal css-
ties Of Kronborg, Frederikshorg and
Fredensborg, and in inspecting the re
gions round about. The frst-named Of
the castles is traditionally associated
with the supposititious Hamlet. u
came to our attention that what /,
called the grave of Hamlet il pointed
out to credulous travellers. 1 did not
walk the few steps required TO see II
and 30 not know that any Of my ssso-
ciates did, but do know that there was
some Joking shout the ghost OF HAM
let's father. The "president' 0, the
congress was not guilty of the joke, 81
there was no such officer; in fect it was
started by reporter of one Of tho To-
cal newspapers before VIC began orr
journej.
We were told that hotel keeper .,
Elsinore, where Kronborg Is situated,
invented the story of the grave and
marked it with monument, fact
which caused some merriment among
the party, all unconscious that the r.
sponsibility for "discovering, identify
ing aaj demonstrating the grave o.
Hamlet" was to be transferred TO them
Alas. The only addition 20 eommen-
taries on Shakespeare which ANY o.
the psychical researchers made wa

An Evil Legacy

From the Far East come further
murmurs. The Hughes reaflirma-
ton of the "opcn door" policy in
China Of course is tantamount to
Reputation of the Lansing-Ishii
agreement, and many Japanese are
displeased
The Lansing-lshii agreement rec
ognized that territorial propinquity
creates special relations between
countries, and, consequently. the
government Of the United States
recognizes that Japan has specia,
interests in China, particularly in
the part to which her possessions are
contiguous"
When translated into Chinese
phrase was used which signified
paramount interest," and gave the
impression that America had alto
gether abandoned the "open door"
policy and recognized Japan's su-
perlor rights in China. Whatever
may have been President Wilson'S
intentions in the matter, whatever
mental reservations Mr.. LANSING
may have made in discussing the
wording with Niscount Ishii, the ef-
feet of the agreement. once it was
published, Was to reverse Americas
traditional policy toward China. By
recognizing special rights for one
country the principle of equal rights
Tor all was abandoned.
To say that the agreement was
merely the expression Of the policy
Of one Administration, which could
be terminated at will, is to explain
1t. but not to nullify its evil effects.
Mr. Hughcs's abandonment of the
agreement naturally invites the
charge of bad faith. Those in Japan
who don't like us naturally are MAX
ing the most of the quick change.
The United States is quite within
her rights IN reverting to her old
policy. The Lansing-Ishii agree
ment was only the declaration of
policy of the Wilson Administration.
But It's signature exposed flank to
criticism. The commitment was an
evil one, and no ono has ever cx-
planned why it was made.
New-York tribune., 1921-10-07
Everybody Walk

Suppose Mayor. Hylan and his
ticket associates are elected: sun-
pose he forthwith scraps all the
clty's surface transportation lines
and thus applies the policy he
pledged himself to in his acceptance
speech; suppose, finally, as the con-
sequence of his veto, that all the
trolleys stop running.
Imagine the result as the large
percentage of the city's population
which uses surface lines to reach
its work finds service is discontin-
ued and learns that the cars are
idle in their barns. Some can be
seen wildly dashing for the near
est subway or elevated station :.
others vainly sputter as they ncgo-
tIate with profiteering truckmen
who hold a similar opportunity will
not come again and who exact two
bits or more to jolt a passenger to
factory or office; still others are
hoofng it.
Surface cars are not in hia:.
honor, but they seem friendly when
they furnish the only means Of
getting about. They are becoming
archaic, but last year they served
billion passengers in New York
more than in any prior year. Vast
stretches of the city's area arc de-
pendent on trolley cars-would be
depopulated without them.
When the Mayor or any one else
talks of an early scrapping Of
the surface lines he talks nonsense.
In time, with the development Of
subways, the city may have track
free streets, but the date Is at some
cistance-substitution can be cr-
fccted only gradually. Buses are
good Tor short routes, but to trans
pert daily 100000 passengers
would require rather large sized
feet.
The Mayor is engaged in mere
vocal exercise. Smarting with the
knowledge that the traction issue
has gone sour, and realizing that
he must propose something resem-
bling u plan, he doubtless does his
best. He is aware his scheme is
silly but the poor man can think
Of nothing more plausible. lie
hopes that this toy pulnotor viii
keep life in the traction issue until
0'fter election. After that he does
not care. lie will place the bus

Mr.. Lasker Reports

In his luncheon talk before the
Associated Advertising Clubs of the
World Chairman Lasker of the
United States Shipping Board gave
the public a satisfying glimpse of
what has been going on during the
last sixteen weeks in the affairs of
that vast government venture
1t is something to give the tax
payers Of this country new hope to
be told that the board believes it
has it's losses in check. 1t is heart
ening to know that since June last
there has been a pay roll cut of ap-
proximately S4,0O0,O0O. There is
promise in the statement that only
such ships are being completed CAS-
are cheaper to finish than to scrap"
and again in this recognition of the
boards task:
ut is the boards duty to see that
the utmost tonnage possible is being
carried at this time under the
American flag, but it is also its duty
to see that private operators are
fostered and that the governments
loss Is minimized."
1t cannot be doubted that Chair
man Lasker and his colleagues
have been and are, as the saying
goes, "on the job" But for them
to assert, to the exclusion of all
other considerations, that the only
hope of restoring Yankee shipping
to deep water lies in the Jones act
is not enough. They will have to
demonstrate this.
There is much that is desirable in
the Jones act. There is much that
is not. Neither politically nor eco
nomically is it sacrosanct, as time
will disclose.
Perhaps the luncheon board over
which Mr.. Lasker spoke was not the
place for him to go into q develop
ment OF his allegation that "hostiIe
forces from within and without" the
country are Sowing seeds of dis
cord and distrust" to the end Of
thwarting the national ambition to
establish merchant marine COM
mensurate with the needs of the
United States. The chairman, how
ever, should seize the first oppor-
tunity to make known the identity
Of these hostile forces. Let him
name in particular those who are
Sowing seeds of discord and dis
trust" from within our boundaries.
The American public will know
how to deal with them.

Northern Epuus
Rcpiep Of the Commitments Upon Which Greece Bases lis
Claim to the Disputed Province

Of the Senate that northern Epirus, in
cluding korytsa, should be awarded to
Greece
On October %. 1920, Mr. Harding
gave public utterancc to a similar SEN
timent about Epirus.
At the first plenary session Of the
Assembly Albania was admitted as a
member of the League of Nations. I'M
mediately upon her admission Albania
demanded that the League Of Nations
settle the frontier dispute between her
self and Greece. Greece replied that
the frontiers had been settled by the
peace conference and denied the right
of the League of Nations to reopen
the issue. And, indeed, nearly all the
representatives of the small nations at
Geneva supported the Greek view that
the league had 20 right to reopen q
question definitely closed by the peace
conference. But France, Italy and
Great Britain, protiting by the diplo-
matte isolation of the present Greek
administration, felt that northern
Epirus could be used as a card TO play
their diplomatic games.
Italy looks forward to an exclusive
control of. the Adriatic, so that she
may be able to control both the
Serbians and the Albanians and Sc
cure a foothold in Balkan affairs.
France, which is endeavoring to form
Slavic bloc, desires to see Jugo-
Slavia free of the control of the pro
German-Italians." England does not
look very favorably upon the fortifca
tion Of the Island of Sasseno. But
should Italy promise to cast her vote
for the English view on the Silesian
dispute, England will see to. it that
Sasseno becomes Italian and the Greeks
are thrown out of northern Epirus, to
suit Italy.
Meanwhile, all the solemn agree
ments bearing French, British. Ameri-
can and Italian signatures are scrappcd.
And the League Of Nations has not the
courage to declare that those agree
ments are binding. According to a dis
patch from Rome, the great powers
have instructed their representatives to
the league to sustain the view that the
decisions in favor of Greece are not
valid" Why? Because the interests
of the great powers are not best suited
if northern Epirus goes to Greece
And the test on the Greco Albanian
issue has proved concusively that in
dispute between 4 great and a small
power the league will always find it
convenient either to avoid giving de
cision or to give it in favor of the
great power. The Greeks. however, will
not respect any other decision about
Epirus except that reached unanim ously
at the peace conference

A Policy of Bad Faith

Senator Colt, who was for many
years Federal circuit judge, has
attacked the Borah Panama Canal
tolls bill from a new angie. In his
opinion the Borah measure attempts
to settle judicial question by
statute.
Treaties exist between two gov
ernments. If there are differences
Of opinion as to their Interpretation
the proper method of settling them
IS by joint action. Conflicting in
terpretations may be submitted to
direct negotiation or to arbitration.
TO dispose Of them by legislation on
the part Of one signatory is a
brusquc and offensive expcdient,
even if it be conceded that. Congress
has the power to modify or annul d
treaty, 50 far as the United States
government is concerned, by subsc-
qucnt hostile legislation.
The Senator from Rhode Island
carries the Borah argument to It's
logical conclusion when he saws that
II legislative notification is to be the
ruie hcrs, every treaty ratified by
this government ought to contain q
provlso rcserving the right Of Con-
Iress TO put its own Interpretation
on the treaty's provisions, regardless
Of the wishes OF the other contract
Ing power or powers. Such pro-
+ gram is one Of international lawlcss-
1segg. 1t IN one which We would
properly recent If applied agaifet Us.
Congress made the mistake Of
passing tolls exemption bin similar
: 10 Mr. Borah's. /, afterward hon
orably repealed it, Way fall into
the error second time? No occa-
sion certainly could be len propik;ous
than the present one for an exyeri-
nent in one-aided treaty amendment,
which would create DOUBT al To tho
