Henry Dreams Again

The reader who approached the
Henry Ford interview in The Trib.
une with skepticism did not ex.
actly remain to pray, but he Ger.
tainly was compelled to think. On
its face here was another Ford
dream as wild as the peace shin.
Synthetic milk, synthetic beef and
the abolition Of the cow sounded like
tlle talk of any crackbrained in
ventor rambling among his dreams.
But there was a difference in the
rest Of the interview. 1t concerned
not politics or international affairs,
for one thing, and it concerned not
so much extraordinary inventions,
chemical or mechanical, as it did
social facts and methods of manu-
facture- Now, the triumph of the
Ford car involved two creations that
were the work of first-class imagi-
nation: the idea that there was q
narket--that is to say, social need
and desire-for so cheap a car and
the organization OF large scale pro-
duction in such fashion as to make
such cheapness possible.
The new projects of MIR. Ford
deal with similar factors, it must be
agreed. Having remade the proc
esses Of communication, he now
backs the country as against the
city with plan designed to give
the village share In the industrial
Of the nation. The prob
lem here Is essentially social one,
"a matter Of mass psychology pre-
cisely similar 10 the creation of q

Admiral Daniels

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The proposition of Admiral Dss
fels to take command of the Germsp
hattleship OstfriesIand during the pro
jected bombing experiments agsinas
that ship Is at once the most sensible
and graceful suggestion that the Aa-
mirsi has made during the last eight
years.
lnasmuch as Admiral Daniels stren
uously opposed all attempts to prepare
our navy for war against the 0stfrlss
land and other German piratical ersft
during the years 1914 TO 1917, he hss
demonstrated that this ship is the onl!
part of our navy that he IL we'll htsse
to command. His offer, therefore, @
go down with her is most praiss
worthy. It will kill two birds with one
stone. 1t will be q beautiful tliustFS
ton OF the ''bold and audacious" posi-.
mortem policies which he has fo!iowSe
IN peace and war. The whole nsss
will vociferously applaud this gsilsns
act of Admiral Daniels in throwing
himself "a q sacrifice upon the altar y

New-York tribune., 1921-02-10

Now that the great and once bad
"Al" Jennings has been held up on
his way from Brooklyn to Manhat-
tan the reduction of New York from
metropolis to frontier mining camp
is complete. The only annoying
feature Ia the inconsistency with
which Mayor Hylan has worked out
his great reform. The most gen.
erous opportunities are afforded the
hold-up gentlemen and allied ex-
perts, but the poor, benighted public
is not permitted to reply in kind.
The Sullivan law still exists. We
pay our good money for Police De-
partment that doesn't protect. Vigi-
lantes and lynching bees are frowned
upon. In short, the season for burg
larizing is open, but the season for
hunting burglars is closed.
Let US do the thing right. Re-
formed and unarmed, Mr.. Jennings
was an easy mark for the hold-up
men. Instead he should be heading
the towns vigilantes and doing the
job that Mr.. Enright's force dis
dains. The drivers on the Hylan
busses--the Deadwood coaches of the
hour--should be armed to the teeth.
The sharp crack Of the occupants
.&4's should punctuats the purr Of
every motor.
The sooner Mr.. Hylan completes
his job the better. It's poor rule
that doesn't work both ways. Give
the good men and che reformed ''bad"
men chance!

IL attempts the impossible, the check
ing of the drift to the city and the
renaissance Of the village; but doing
the impossible is the task Of every
inventor. And Mr. Ford combines
with his dreaming kind of shrewd-
ness that Is very dear to the hearts
of Americans. In fact, 10 10 not a
fantastic theory which regards Mr..
Ford as uniting the essential Ameri.
can characteristics. The whole
American adventure has been a kind
OF shrewd dream; all our material
progress westward and into the
earth and aloft in the sky has been
based upon free, soaring imagina-
tion plus painstsking horse sense,
as witness the case of the two
bicycle builders Of Dayton, Ohio. and
Kitty Hawk. N. c., the first men

Give the Truck q Chance

The effort at Albany to tax the
large truck off the highways Of New
York deserves the carefulest debate
Final consideration Of it should in
any event be postponed until the
engineering facts can be fully ascer-
tanned and understood.
The whole spirit in which this at
tack upon q great and growing
means Of cheapening communica-
tions Is conceived Is short sighted
and Ill advised. The prime effort of
every state, Of every legislature
should be to encourage the truck, to
give it every chance to develop
freely. Its limits Of economy have
by no means been reached. It's pre-
else effects upon railroad and gen
eral freight traffic remain to be
established, But enough has al
ready been accomplished to demon
strate that here is the most impor-
tant instrument in economical dis
tribution invented since the railroad
itself arrived.
The full benefits Of this new small
unit of transportation cannot pos
sibly be won if it is to be opposed
and handicapped at every turn by
short-sighted legislation. The broad
attitude of the state should be to
conform the roads to this new vehicle
rather than to hamper it's develop
nent and future by any arbitrary re-
striction Of weight or size. AS we
tuild bridges to carry the big loco
motives rather than to trim locon1o-
tives down to bridg capacity, SO
roads should be made to carry the
trucks that can make the lowest
rates.
The New York farmer and the
New York producer will be the chief
sufferers from any restrictive pol
icy. Other states are welcoming the
truck with open hands. The econ
omies which it can bring, the de-
velopment Of farms and markets
which it makes possible, will be for
the citizens of other states and for
New Workers.. We are confident
That a mature consideration es the
I~~lem in its broader aspects will
defeat the pending bill, or at any
rate postpone it's consideration until
the engineering aspects Of the truck
and highway problem can be consid-
cred in their broadest relation to the
public welfare.

What Japan Knows

To the Editor of The Tribuns.
Sir: I was much pleased to read
letter in to-day's paper on "what
Japan Knows" and as an Englishmsu
representing an American firm In
Canada can truly say that there Is
not an Englishman worthy OF the
name who would not jump to help our
American kindred against any yellow
attack.
What we cannot understand Is that
the real Americans stand the icing
attacks on England and the En- ciish
made by those people who come over
here to get all the benefits and who pu,
their original country first and in no
sense could ever be called rican.

years, and will never agree, as to
what masterpieces should follow the

But instead Of debating the ab-

lived again in Defoe's Robinson
Crusoe--actually took with him. 1t
was not Shakespeare that helped

his four years on Juan Fernandez,
but the Bible and a volume on navi-

matical instruments. 1t is doubtful
If even the Chestertons of 1719
would have included Shakespeare in
their seabags, much less humble

quarrel with his ships captain, de-
manded to be set down on Juan
Fernandez rather than sail another

the Bible and his mathematical
books. How we'll these two ele-

melancholy, scarce able to refrain
from doing himself violence, till, by
degrees, by the force of reason and
frequent reading of the Scriptures
and turning his thoughts upon the

The Lack of Apartments

10 the Editor of The Tribune,
Sir' note that one Of your corrc.
spond"nts again takes up the cudeels on
oehah Of the landlord and real estate
owner. If ne made inquiries Of the
owners of new apartments and even Of
old ones, and even in the "desirablsp
Seventies and Eighties, he would find
that his estimate of the demand for new
apartments is entirely mistaken. New
apartments are not letting rapidly; va
cant apartments are remaining vacant.
ana the reason is the same. There is no
oeaftn OF apartments: the lack Is Of
apartments at prices within the means
OF the great majority of average income.
Such apartments are not to be obtained
and Mr.. Manierre is not advocating their
creation. The overcrowding is NOT due
to lack Of apartments, but to lack of
apartments at rents proportionat9 To
average income.

To the Editor of The Trlbuns.
Sir: 1t Is g good thing that the
students of Brown University are pro-
testing in their newspaper, The
Brown Daily Herald, against the in
decency, both IN costume and in CON
duct, Of the girls who come to the
university dances. It is high time that
something was done to stop this grow

to be hoped that the movement so
courageously started by Brown Uni
versity men will spread rapidly.
One used to be afraid that with the
growth Of common interests between
Europe-especially France-and this
country there would be a falling off
among us in the Anglo-Saxon stand
ards Of decent living, but progress in
that direction has been more rapid than
one could have thought possible. Even
IN france women at least observe the
proprieties of social intercourse. I'm
less there is some strong concerted ac-
tlon' carried on with plenty of plain
speaking, against the loose manners of
young girls in this country the out

Not Cynical Opportunism
England's Suggestion of Debt Can.
collation. Has Its Good Points

Cciiatlon f1aS It's GooG POINTS
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: was greatly interested in
your editorial in to-dRy's issue with
the caption "Europe's American Debt"
particularly as was privileged to hear
the suggestion from several Of Eng
land's most prominent statesmen no
long as eight months ago that the Brit
ish government would be willing to
cancel the debts that her allies owed
her, pro rata, for the amount which we
might be induced to cancel against her.
The necessary refunding Of part Of
f'urope's debt to u.s. which we recently
agreed to. has a very direct influence
on our own domestic budget, and it
seems to me that no one should ac-
cuse England of cynical opportunism
IN suggesting an, inter-Allied cancel
lation Of loans without first going very
carefully into the reactions which
are likely to affect our own financing.
The industrial fabric Of this country
to-day, largely under the stimulus Of
abnormal exports during the war, Is In
the position Of needing foreign mar
kefs In addition to domestic ones to
satisfy its increased possibilities, and
the deprecated credit of our allies
with its consequent effect on exchange,
makes it almost impossible for foreign
merchants to sell our goods in Euro
rean markets.
1t seems TO me-, therefore, that before
the suggestion Of Mr.. Austen Cham
berlain is turned down an appeal
should be made not alone to our sym
pathies but to our practical interests,
whereby we may reach compromise,
SO that we shall arrive at the day Of
normal trade relations and consequent
prosperity TO all concerned.
