Man as a Topic

w ny IS woman a topic while man is
not?' complains Rose Macaulay. au-
thor of "Potterism" and Dangerous
Ages" She finds women's psychol-
ogy, physiology, status and rights,
their mentality, manners and morals,
their clothes and fads, are always be-
ing discussed in newspapers, maga-
zines and books, while man is over
looked. Women are the sex, q prob
lem to be investigated, analyzed and
explained. While men-wel, men
are mere people. No one talks about
the way they do their hair, whether
they are fitted for fatherhood and
the vote, and whether they are bet
ter or worse than their grandfathers
Man is taken for granted, but some
one Is always attempting to discover
and publish broadcast what is called
the truth about woman
Mrs. Macaulay ventures the opin-
ION that this differentiation in treat
ment may have come about because
for a long time literature and
thought have been in the hands Of
men and they have refused to ac
cept women as ordinary people and
have believed them to be a separate
species. She discounts this theory
somewhat, however, because women
themselves have of late eagerly
joined in these discussions of femi-
nine peculiaritics But though wom-
en- writers are myriad the business
OF publishing and editing is still
largely in the hands Of men. And
isn't it just possible that men have
so tender feeling for their own
characteristics, habits and weak
nesscs that they refuse to publish
the truth about themselves? Much
as tncy may appreciate sly digs and
thrusts individually, or tolerate per
sonal frankness, they stanchly up-
mold the dignity Of man in general
Whom women take a hand in the
business Of editing and publishing

Conflicting Rent Rulings

The Appellate Term Of the Su-
premc Court in the First Depart
mcnt (New York and Bronx coun-
ties) has made rent law ruling
which differs radically from that
recently made by the Appellate
Term in the Second Department
(Kings, Queens, Richmond and the
Long Island counties). Justices Guy,
Blur and McCook held that a fair
and reasonable rental could not be
based, in an action against hold
over tenant, on the present market
value Of the property, deduced By
comparison with possibly inflated
neighboring market values. What
the landlord is entitled to in such ac-
tions, they say, is a fair and reason
able return on his actual investment.
1t is apparent that the main pur-
pose Of the rent laws, which is to
stabilize occupancy, would be defeat
ed in large part by calculating rent
on the basis Of adjacent. market
values which have appreciated be-
cause Of the realization of much
higher prices from new tenants. The
rent laws would thus be converted
into an instrument for advancing all
rents. The Appellate Term opinion
says: "It was clearly the intent Of
the Legislature that landlord
should be restricted to such rentals
as would yield not a reasonable in
come on values created by profteer-
ing methods but a reasonable income
on his investment"
This construction prevails in Man
haitian and the Bronx; but across
the East River an opposite rule has
been suggested to the lower courts
1t is desirable that this conflict Of
opinions be passed upon speedily by
the Court of Appeals. The Lockwood
committee and the real estate inter
ests are trying to arrange such re-
view. If the Brooklyn Interpretation
is sound the committee will try to
have it's effects counteracted by
legislation. The rent laws were
framed in the interest Of tenants in
possession. They were plainly not
designed to put these tenants on a
parity with other tenants who have
surrendered occupancy rights or out
siders who have never acquired
them.

johns Tomb at Ephesus?

Following hard after a delusion
concerning the tomb Of Boccaccio
and The huge joke concerning the
grave Of Hamlet comes a serious
and important announcement of the
discovery Of the supposed tomb of
John the Evangelist at Ephesus.
Archaeological researches in recent
years have produced so many strik-
ing combinations Of Biblical his
tory that there is reason to an
ticipate in this the throwing of light
upon one Of the most notable New
Testament figures, and perhaps the
solution Of the age-long problem of
his fate
Common tradition, largely de-
rived from Tertullian and jerome,
is that John, the cousin of Jesus
Christ, was boiled in oil by Domitian,
but emerged from the bath un-
injured and was banished to the
mines Of Patmos; that he was
released by Nerva and returned tc
Ephesus, where he died in the year
100, at the age Of ninety-four, the
only one of the Apostles who died
q natural death. Irenaus tells
that John published his gospel at
Fphesus and lived until the time of
Trajan, and Polycrates adds that he
died and was buried in that city.
On the other hand, George
Famartolos quotes Papias-whose
works are no longer extant-as
saying that John was put to death
by the Jews, and others quote the
same authority as indicating that
the John who was at Ephesus was
not the evangelist, but a presbyter
Of the same name Such contradict
ton is perhaps natural in traditions
of a man who is, strangely enough,
commonly pictured as gentle, Slight
and almost offeminate, when in fact
he appears to have been the most
fiery and tempestuous of all the
Apostles.
1t is entirely within the range Of
possibility, and indeed not improb-
able, that the researches at Ephesus
will establish the identity of
the John who was entombed
there. If it proves to have been
indeed the cousin of Jesus the dis
covery will be Of great interest and
value to students of Christian
origins.

Sir Philip Gibbs Again
An "IdeaGst" Working Against
franco-British-American Concord

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The latest outgiving of Sir
Philip Gibbs, the English publicist
contains shameful slur on the great
soul of Marshal Foch, the soul which
Gibbs himself acknowledges gained US
victory. Attributng the slur to a
trenchman unnamed for obvious rca-
sons, Gibbs tells us that he was
'startled and scandalized" when he
heard it, which did not restrain him
from using it. Whenever Gibbs wishes
to stab France in the back, which hap
pens too frequently, he always begins
by shedding tears over it; it is always
apparent that it hurts him more than
1t does France; but he goes through
with it just the same,
In this latest article Gibbs refers to
himself as one who is led by "ideals."
He IS one of many "idealsts" who
have been playing the game Of the
moncyed forces which worked for n
German victory and for German
peace and are now seeking in every
way to thwart Franco British American
solidarity for the maintenance of world
peace. Gibbs says further that an
agreement by Great Britain. France
and the United States to meet at once
another German aggression - the one
thlng that Will make such aggression
most unlikely-is "impossible" so far
as the United States is concerned. and
that there Is not much chance" Of it
80 far as Great Britain is concerned in
the latter case, lowing to the present
exhaustion of men and money" In other
words, the most effective measure for
preventing another aggression by Ger
many is to be abandoned because of
the results Of Germanys previous
aggression.
OF course, Gibbs misrepresents Brit
lsh sentiment in such matters. Yostcr-
day at the tomb of the unknown Brit
ish soldier America met Britain. and
together they honored those who died
for our common liberties The British
Primo Minister spoke of the meeting
as "a solemn pledge given to the
valiant dead that these two mighty
peoples who were comrades in the great
war have resolved to remain comrades
to guarantee great peace No bet
ter Interpretation of the true senti-
ments of the Engl speaking nations
has ever been uttered. Gibbs, likewise.
mlsinterprets American sentiment,
which he has no standing whatever
to interpret at all. Yesterday, also.
as Mr. Lloyd George was speaking at
Westminster, that sterling American.
John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi
spoke in the United States Senate. and
unaware Of what was being said in
London, he uttered the same sentiment
calling upon the American people to
join in the guaranty Of q great peace
through the treaty Of defense.

Canal Toll acts
EIay-Pauncefote Treaty as Under
stood by Its Negotiators

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr Lewis Nixon is cutie rIgh,
in saying in reference to the canal
tolls matter. that those who know
should tell the facts to she public"
As I was privileged TO know, at first
hand, the essential facts "a the case
beg leave to tell them 20 the public
or. rather. to recall them. since they
have already been told together with
some other pertinent facts Of record.
When the Clayton -Buiwer Treaty va;
made in 1850 it was the intention Of the
makers that the shipping Of the cOun-
tries constructing and controlling the
canal should pay the same tolls as thu;
Of all other countries using the canal
and agreeing to afford it projections
and that intention vas explicitly set
forth in that treaty.
When the Hay -Pauncefote Treaty vas
made in 1901, TO supersede the Clayton
Bulwer Treaty, Great britain relin-
quished all the rights and privileges
which she had potentially enjoyed under
that former instrument excepting this
one Of equality Of tolls. which she
wished to have retained To such re-
tention of it our government assen,ed
Accordingly John Hay, our Secretary ot
State, and Lord Pauncefote the British
Ambassador, agreed and understood
that under the new treaty America
shipping should pay the same tolls as
that Of Great Britain or any other
country, and inserted into their treaty
what they both regarded as an explicit
statement to that effect. Several years
later Secretary Hay very explicitly and
emphatically declared taa, to have been
the understanding and inten..on Of bo'a
himself and Lord Pauncefote in making
that treaty.
As Mi Nixon less accurately says
Of something else. this fact needs 10
elaboration. as it cannot BE disputed.

Ratification

BY vote of 66 to 90, meeting the
requirement of the Constitution for
a two-thrds majority, the Senate
has ratified the treaty of peace with
Germany. A controversy which has
ragged since President Wilson, more
than two years ago, brought the
Versailles Treaty home from Paris
is thus at last ended.
The constitutional two thirds was
secured, as of necessity it had to be,
inasmuch as no party mustered two
thirds Of the Senate, by non -parti
san coalition. For ratification, on
open roll call, ffty-two Republicans
and fourteen Democrats voted ;
against ratification eighteen Demo
Gratis and two Republicans-Messrs.
Borah, of Idaho, and La Toilette, of
Wisconsin. For the treaty four Re
publicans and two Democrats were
paired, and against, one Republican
(Senator Norris, of Nebraska), and
two Democrats. So the Senate actu-
ally divided scventy-two for the
treaty and twenty-three against.
The Democratic minority could
have defeated the treaty if it had
chosen to follow Mr.. Wilson's ad-
vice. Fortunately there were Demo-
Gratis in the Senate who were un-
willing to follow this advice. We
had had, at Nh Wilson's demand, a
great and solemn referendum in
1920. The decision had gone against
the Wilson n-treaty-or-no-t treaty con-
tention. Practical craftsmanship
required consideration of an alter
native peace settlement, an escape
out of the tangle in which our rela-
tions with the rest of the world were
left by the break down of the Wilson
diplomacy.
"Stick to tho Versailles Treaty: it
is better than separate peace" said
the irreconcilable Wilsonites. But
as Mr. Hitchcock, leader of the fight
for unconditional ratification in
1919 and 1920, pointed out yester-
day to his party colleagues, that was
not the choice they faced. The real
choice was between the separate
peace treaty and ga protracted un-
certainty without any treaty"
Mr.. Hitchcock also alluded to the
referendum which Mr. Wilson and
his friends have been trying hard to
forget. The Harding Administra-
tion got its commission from the
voters. There can be no change in
Administration until 1925. What
the Democratic opponents of rati-
fcation have been asking is that
peace making be suspended for
three years and half in order to
leave the field open for another ref
erendum. Senators like Mr.. I'M
derwood and Mr.. Hitchcock have
too firm a grasp on political reali-
ties to be attracted by so futile and
visionary a program as this.
1t is, Of course. the duty of Sen
stors to rise above party considera-
tons when considering a treaty. But
so often has the obligation been ig-
nored that fair-minded persons will
not withhold special praise from Sen
ator Hitchcock and his fellows.

asm for a settlement that is in the
