At this point in the consideration of Mexico and her problems and our relation to them, it seems to me that it would be well to consider Mexico's side of the controversy with the United States concerning the re- cognition of that country by our own Upon the action of the United States, it is conceded, awaits that of Great Britain, France, Cuba and, perhaps, other countries. At the risk of be- ing tedious shall try to present 1t as briefly as possible.
 The main differences between the United States and Mexico have risel over Article 27 of the Mexican Con- stitution of 1917, which provides that the Government may reserve all nat ural resources, such as minerals, oil, etc, for the Government. Subse- quent to the adoption of this Article President Carranza issued proclama-

Circus VS.. Soviet

Circuses do not harmonize with
the social revolution, to Judge from
an indignant editorial quoted by
Fhe London Morning Post from the
Soviet newspaper Trud (Labor)
The circus, the writer charges, as
it is constituted to-day, Is not only
unnecessary, but positively "dan-
gerous and detrimental to the
cause Of the revolution; it should
either be suppressed or, suffering
the fate Of the Russian fairy ta1e,
become an agent for revolutionary
propaganda. In it's present form it
makes mock of sacred things.
Clowns, boxing each others ears,
discrediting in simpering, whining
voices the Soviet regime, must be
once and forever removed from the
ring" So far, it would seem, cir
cuses have shown pernicious
tendency to political satire, for
the critic demands that the
authorities take steps to stop
the following performances: when
clown comes into the ring
and, beating his empty stomach,

Styles II, Word.

Those pathological sharks to whom
the niceties Of nomenclature in their
own particular fields give such gold
en- opportunities for the display of
genius must now look to their lau-
rels. With the ascendancy Of woman
there is coming new vocabulary
that will fill our baseball writer's
with secret envy and cause the re-
doubtable II. L. Mencken to hide his
head, not to speak of George AIDE
and Ring Lardner.
The new vocabulary concerns itself
with the matter Of clothes, but it is
mistake to assume that as women
become more expert in business and
government they are going to reduce
themselves to a few simple garments
that can be easily labeled. The will
to conquer, displayed in what is vul-
carly known as woman's 'fget-up,"
IS evidently being reconstructed on a
new and more substantial basis than
before, if we may judge by super
flclal survey of new styles. We are
informed that "a gabardine coat
cape with sleeves set very low is worn
over a foulard dress" This is COM
paratively easy. But when we are
told by correspondent of The Lon

1t Can Be Done

When Mr.. Andrew Peters ran for
Mayor of Boston three years ago
he made three important campaign
pledges: First, that his administra-
ton would be non-partisan; second,
that he would eliminate waste and
inefficiency in the city departments,
and third, that he would neither
seek reelection nor other political
office while he was Mayor. He also
made numerous other pledges about
various details Of the city's welfare.
His term is now drawing to a
close and the people Of Boston are
weighing him in the balance, just
as is being done with Hylan in New
York. But where Hylan has been
found wanting Mayor Peters comes
out with the approval of the city.
He appointed men of both parties
to the city government. He i'm
proved the street repair system of
Boston. He installed a high pres
sure system for fire protection. He
reorganized the almshouse system.
Municipal Ice and coal stations were
established. Wherever possible the
work of the city departments was
coordinated and simplified.
And now Mayor Peters absolutely
declines to run for second term,
"My candidacy" Mr.. Peters ex-
plains, twas protest against the
results of the political and personal
influences which long have been
dominant at City Hall, and which
have tended to build up a personal
and political machine."

Liberia S Native Bishop
"A Product Of Christian Education
Domes.icated in Africa"

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Let me thank you for your ad-
mirable articles concerning the conse-
Grafton of the Rev. Theophilus Momolu
Gardiner as bishop suffragan of the
Episcopal Church in Liberia.
1t is, Of course, not surprising that
a paper with a world outlook such as
The Tribune should recognize the in
ternational and social as well as the
religious significance Of such a service
as that at the Church Of the Incarna-
tion on June 20, when a native born
African became bishop Of the Episco-
pal Church.
Will you let me explain that, while
it is true that Bishop Gardiner re-
ceived his education in St. Johns
School, Cape Mount, and later in our
theological school at Cape Palmas,
both these schools are institutions es-
tablished by the Episcopal Church in
Liberia rather than by the Liberian
government? 1t may la more COM
pletely in accord with the facts to say
that Bishop Gardiner Is product of
Christian education domesticated in
Africa, rather than purely a product
Of African negro culture.
The Episcopal Church has forty
eight schools with eighty-fve teachers
and more than 1000 pupils in Liberia.
The work that has been done by the
Episcopal and other communions in
promoting education has created de-
mand which the Liberian government
itself has been quick to recognize, as
evidenced by its establishment of a
Board of Education upon which our
Bishop Overs and other American mis-
sionaries serve. JOHN W. WOOD,
Secretary, Department of Missions of
the Protestant Episcopal Church.
New York, June "a, 1921.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: / wish to express my hearty
thanks to you for your editorial OF
June 20, Liberia Is on the Map"
Liberia" you state, relying chiefly
upon itself, has maintained it's place
on the map and has made creditable
progress in the arts of civilization"
/ This is, in our opinion, timely re-
tort to those political negrophobes who
delight in dwelling on the decadence
! Of black government. Given a chance
Hayti, like Liberia, will, according to
modern standards, measure up with
the rest Of the world socially, politi-
cally and industrially.

The Wet" Parade
To the Editor Of The Tribune,

To tho Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir, James X. Shields, state super
intendent for New Jersey Of the Anti
Saloon League, in recent letter to
The Tribune says that the anti-prohi-
bition parade will be great thing for
prohibition. The league has some
cause to worry about this demonstra-
ton, as Is evidenced by this letter Of
Mr.. Shields and other attempts to dis
courage participation therein.
In drawing comparison between
this and former anti-prohibition pa
rades Mr.. Shields makes the error of
stating that this parade represents a
movement to restore the saloon and
other liquor activities. The demonstra-
ton is one of greater import. 1t is a
demonstration against encroachment
upon personal liberty by an organized
minority. 1t is protest against a
law that has not accomplished it's pur-
pose-namely, to stop liquor drinking
and which never will accomplish it's
purpose. 1t is protest against law
that has done more to provoke con-
tempt of law than anything else in our
national history.
1t is no more logical to assume that
any one who appears in this parade is
liquor devotee than it is to assume
that the members of the celebrated
Boston Tea Party were devotees of tea.

Assessed Valuations
A Few Points Explained to Realty
Owners by Stewart Browne

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: May I explain to real estate
owners the following points: ID The
assessment year is one year prior to
the payment of tax year. Most owners
kick against increased assessments only
when they get their tax bills, and then
it is too late to appeal.
(2) The city's unnecessary extrava-
gance compelled is to increase the 1920
aggregate realty assessment by $1,000
100000, or 25 per cent, and thas was
secured by increasing assessed valua-
tions on existing properties from Is
per cent to so per cent over the pre-
vious year. Very few individual own
ers know Of this or appealed against
these assessments, most of which were
uncalled for, except on the old plea
that the "city needed the money"
Land values were increased On tho
basis of potential, not actual, value.
Building values were increased par"
TALLY on the basis of increased cost Of
reproduction and partially on the basis
Of value being seven times the gross
rental, when FIVE times is the ratio.
Values of business buildings for own
ers' sole occupancy have been increased.
for no apparent reason, since their
gross output and net earnings have
fallen away.
CD Realty owners should not allow
these 1920 increased assessed valus-
tons to stand simply because they
negligently failed to appeal against
them last year. They should appeal
against them at once. This association
is willing, by its advice and otherwise,
to help get these 1920 assessments
reduced fer 1921.
"a The proceeds Of these increased
assessments went into the pockets OF
city employees, and while salaries and
per diem wages are being reduced in
hall private enterprises the city admin.
istration has made no effort to follow
suit, simply because Election Day is
| near. Those who pay taxes must COM
pei reduction in city employees pay,
| and the surest way is to force redue-
tion in the city's income by forcing .
reduction in assessed valuations.

The zR-2

More than a dozen years ago the
United States Army bought the first
dirigible to be acquired by any mill
tary force. 1t was made in the
United States, from an original de-
sign, by that veteran flyer, Captain
Thomas S. Baldwin, then aviator,
aeronaut and parachute jumper.
After Captain Baldwin had made his
trial flight successfully, the dirigible
was accepted by the War Depart
ment and stored in Omaha, where it
succumbed to disuse and decay.
The Baldwin dirigible was a one
man affair, like the first Wright
heavier-than-air machine. Through
the war America had the humiliat-
ing experience of having to buy air
planes from Britain and France be-
cause our War Department had not
kept up with the times and had not
aided American designers, construc-
tors and pilots.
1t is another affront to American
enterprise that our military estab-
lishment must now acquire dirigibles
from Britain and Italy after having
given the world the first military
blimp years ago. Why does this hap
pen? What is the hindrance in
Washington to be overcome?
Baldwin, like the Wrights, could
never have afforded to take up build
ing and experimentation but for the
earnings promised by exhibition fly
Ing. His first blimp was built not
fop the army, but for amusement
parks, and Glenn H. Curtiss, like
many another great name in Amer
lean aviation, had his initiation as
an aeronaut and aviator while in
service as Captain Baldwin's mech
anician.
What disappointment these pur-
chases abroad of foreign dirigibles
must be to the veteran who built and
sold the first military blimp and who
tried persistently after that time to
obtain an appropriation for the con-
siderable expense Of constructing a
more modern airship, with ideas
gained from his own vast experience
and from visit to foreign air
dromes before the war, where he was
received with great honor!
