Helping Art Students

In the March International Studio
a conversation between the late
Theodore Roosevelt and Arnold
Genthe on the subject of American
art IS reported. Colonel Roosevelt
objected to American artists spend
ing their time in France painting
French subjects. "Why," exclaimed
the Colonel, "don't they go out and
paint Michigan lumberjacks?"
A reader of The International
Studio answers that the public atti-
tude toward artists is not helpful in
this country. We may be as sympa-
thetic and earnest in an appreciation
OF art as any other people (wasn't
1T Whistler who successfully ex-
posed the fallacy that there is such
thing as an "artistic people"?)
but we are still partly possessed ,bv
the backwoodsy tradition that artists
are queer-freak moralists, bizarre
and different"
The curious surround a painter
who sets up an easel out of doors
IN America, thus shaking the mental
ease OF the artist, while in the gar
dens of the Tuileries or the Luxem-
bourg at Paris five, ten, twenty
artists may work without molesta-
tion by fidgety or jocose onlookers.
Whether in Paris, Dieppe, Dion or
along the many fair prospects of the
Riviera, the artist is wholesomely
taken as a matter of course.
In another respect the American
state of mind is reflected by the fact
that few American men and women
Will pose in a studio as a profess
sion. Excepting the pretty faces
that come before illustrators. most
Of the models employed in America
are foreigners. 1t clearly shows the
prevailing state of mind when
model loses caste in the eyes of fel-
AZ" cleizens by posing for hire.
II we are to keep our artists home
to saturate them in American atmos-
phere, first we must make that
atmosphere tonic. 1t is not enough
to have as good subject material
here as abroad. Inner psychologi-
cal factors count for much. Newer
theless, there is one great objection
to art education abroad. Art, though
universal, translates the individu-
ality of the artist. When a Young
man or woman goes abroad in for
native years there is likely to be
an education away from the old life.

him, as it were, with an accent. He

The Trousers of the Drowned

1t is general rule of fiction
though by no means Of real life
that whenever a presentiment ap-
pears on the scene the event that it
is presentiment of is sure to fol-
low. Most fiction writer's either
swallow the occult whole or leave it
alone. Once in long while we get
novel which treats psychic re-
search" and treats it humorously.
Such one is that delightful early
book of Wells, Love and Mr.. Lewis
ham. But as rule there is no
such thing in imaginative literature
as mind-reading that proves to be
misreading, a table-tipping that
trns out to have been done with
the toe, or the sending of a spirit
message by relative who had been
supposed dead, but who proves to
have been all the while in the land
of the living.
Mrs. Wharton, however, has the
rare gift of a scientists mind
coupled with novelist's genius.
A touch of vivid realism in The
Age of Innocence is little incident
in which the writer neatly turns
the tables on the supernatural, CIV
ing us, for once, presentiment that
does not come true. Newland Archer

on the rickety seat picked up the

handle, which was made of some
rare wood that gave out an aromatic
scent. Archer lifted the handle to

"a Friendly Relation"

In the emergencies Of war large
part of labor took advantage of It's
position to dictate impossible terms
OF employment. In SO doing labor
lost that sympathy of the general
public which has been its chief aid
in securing higher wages, shorter
hours, better conditions of work.
Those terms are now being slowly
Northumberland in the main with
good feeling and a realization of the
necessities of the situation on the
part of labor. 1t is situation
however, which permits of many
different attitudes on the part of
capital, and it is a welcome note
that President Coolidge has
sounded in declaring that the pres
ent "is no time to press for an un-
due advantage" but rather one in
which "to cultivate a friendly rela-
ton between all the different ele-
ments of production"
The problem is one to be solved
by each employer in his own way.
Legislation can do little to help,
since the goal sought is a new spirit
of relationship, new realization n
Of the facts of capital and labor.
rather than any particular machin-
cry. The' sort OF shop organization
which John Leitch has introduced
with notable success-described in
his volume Man to Man-suggests
the goal to be achieved. The funda-
mental basis Of the new order must
be realization by both sides that
production is the essential part of
shop prosperity-for labor as for
capital; and that only by co0pera-
tion toward increased production
can increased return in wages and
in dividends be won.
The present defation of war
wages must be utilized in no petty
spirit OF triumph of capital, but
rather with the most generous ap-
probation of the obligation to work
out a new and better basis for the
partnership which enters into all
production. The obligation runs to
the whole nation. Upon it's just per-
formance depends the whole welfare
of America, it is simple truth to set
down. The best brains and imag-
ination and skill of the country are
demanded for the task.

The Canal S Sponsors
Naval Officers on Commission That
Recommended the Lock Type

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir:' have read with surprise the
statements of Rear Admiral C. f.
Goodrich, U. S. N, in the letter
published in your issue of the
18th, entitled "The Landsmen's
Canal"
The Admiral states that "all sailors
know" that Canal at sea level should
have been built, but no sailors opin-
ion was ever sought"
Is not the Admiral aware of the
fact that the Isthmian Canal Commits
sion, which recommended the lock type
of canal, was presided over by @ naval
officer, Rear Admiral John G. Walker;
that the secretary of said commission
was naval officer, Commander, after
ward Rear Admiral, Sydney A. Staun-
ton! Admiral Goodrich must have
known both of these gentlemen, for
they were both men of distinction and
contemporaneous in the service with
him. The remark that the canal was
designed by landsmen need not be con-
s1dered a slur, for everybody knows
that canals are all designed and built
by landsmen called engineers.
The question of the size of the locks
was long and carefully studied, and
it was even suggested at one time
to build single set of locks, large
enough to accommodate the largest
ships then ahoat, and to build a second
set, larger if necessary, after the
canal had been some time in operation.
1t was decided, however, to build the
locks in pairs, SO that if one broke
down the other would be available.
Surely the Admiral is not dissatis-
fed with the recent performances of
our fleet at Panama. The battleship
Mississippi, one of our largest, passed
through the canal from one sea to the
other in about twelve hours. Is not
that pretty good?
The Admiral will say that q sea
level canal would have been better
solution Of the canal problem. No
one will question that sea level
canal, all ether things relative to
transit being equal, is the better type
OF canal. But does the Admiral feel
sure that the ''ulebra Cut could have
been excavated eighty-fve feet deeper
than 1T now is? How about the slides7
they have caused much trouble, as is
we'll known. Would it have been prac-
ticaole to excavate eighty-fve feet
deeper in the Culebra Cut? Many
engineers think not. Is the Admiral
sure of his ground on this vital mat
ter? PETER C. HAMS, u. S.A.

Trade With Russia

Secretary Hoover hasn't been car
ried off his feet by the rush of a
few European countries to reopen
trade relations with Russia. In his
opinion there is really little Russian
trade possible at present, except
such as plays into the hands of the
bolshevist propagandists. The oues-
tion of trade Mr.. Hoover regards as
Tar more political than an eco
nomic one, and he thinks it will re-
main such SO long as Lenine con-
tinues in power.
1t is admitted that the Moscow
government has available a con-
siderable stock of gold, platinum
and jewelry. 1t can exchange this
Tor foreign goods if foreign sellers
take chances on accepting coin and
metal the ownership of which NAV
be later contested in the courts. The
Bolshevist stock of quick and dubi-
Gus assets may be dissipated on
such a basis. But after that Russia
will be cleaned bare, for ordinary
production has ceased, and will
hardly be resumed on a large scale
even under the notifications of
communism with which Lenine is
now experimenting.
The United States prefers not to
have dealings with Bolsheyism
across a fences" counter. Our gov-
ernment was the first to call on
the civilized nations of the world
to ostracize the bloody Moscow
tyranny. 1t sought to end all politi-
cal relations with the Communist
Terror as well as all commercial
relations. Possibly the blacklisting
1ervor of those days has died down
IN many countries. But we have
seen no reason for changing our
policy.
Lenine's word in international
AidCleiS Is worthless so long as he
holds to the program of universal
revolution. He suspends that pro-
gram when it is convenient to do So
Yet he would be false to all his
political conceptions if he didn't re-
new it on the first favorable oppor-
tunity. Fortunately, he has little
with which to tempt the trading in
stlncts of those nations which seek
to keep politics and business in diff
ferent compartments.
Europe, perhaps, cannot recover
Its economic stability until Russia
returns to production. But she
cannot return to production while
bolshevism lasts. The hope of bet
ter things lies in the expulsion of
the Communist poison from Russia's
wasted organism. Dickering with
Lenine for his boarded booty leads
on barren trail The time hasn't
rlpened for political and CONNER
cial rapprochement with Russia.

The Need for a Half-N;ckeI

The Fourth Estate brings to mind
the need of two and a half cent
piece. Congress has had before it a
proposal to reestablish the two-cent
piece. The Fourth Estate suggests
an amendment which would do
away with the anomaly of the gov
ernment imposing tax on the peo-
pie and at the same time failing to
provide a coin with which to pay
that tax without loss to the tax
payer.
What is the economic sense of a
two-cent piece, as recommended by
the Coinage Committee of the last
Congress? 1t would do no more
than the copper pennies already do
toward saving the public's small
change. Why should the purchaser
have to give the extra one-half
cent which one Of two bargaining
parties must pay because of the
governments lack of arithmetical
method?
The computation of sales, luxury
and all other taxes is decidedly one
sided. Business should be equitable.
Can there be such a condition as
long as the buyer of 25-cent
movie ticket, for example, is COM
PEELED to pay three-cent tax when
all he is legally obligated to pay is
but two and one-half cents?

Annie Carroll Moore, of the New York

the direction of the library work in the

State Income Tax Vagary

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: You do well to point out the
vagaries of the state income tax. Here
is one: The state requires you to ae'
count as income for the per cent sax
paid by certain corporations on its
coupons. But it is nowhere provided
that the tax on that income shall os
deducted from the total tax, as is the
ease with the Federal income tax.
1t is a petty thing for, of course
this 2 per cent is not income. 1t can
not be contested by most people bs'
cause the amount is small; but the in1
justice of not allowing the tax 70 os
deducted is more than pettiness. 4
