The CailIaux Policy

In his interesting article in yes
terday's Tribune M. Raymond Re-
couly, distinguished French journal
iist, answers with an emphatic mega
tive the question; "Will Caillaux

The anonymous author of the book
"The Ponp of Power" who is obvi-
sously extremely well informed and
lets IN the light on many obscure
parts of recent history, is of some
what different opinion. While not
predicting the return of CaiIlaux. he
discusses it as a possibility, and he
closes his discussion with the sur
prising statement that if Gaillaux
comes back he viii owe his renas-
cence principally to Lloyd George.

The Davis CUP Stays

William M. Johnston's f6socious
racquet put the Davis Cup out of
jeopardy in short order yesterday.
The neatness and dispatch with
which he disposed of Gerald l.. Pat
terson. a player always full of fight,
was great exhibition of artistry.
With the cup safe Tilden's tilt with
Anderson was postlude. In spite
of his recent illness the Australian,
barely defeated, vindicated his selec-
tion as contestant in the singles.
The cup series now stands six-all
between America and Australasia.
We can look forward with pleasure
and with confidence to the next visit
from the far-Pacific challengers.
They taught us something this time
about the doubles game. Our pres
ent experts seem. to have played it
somewhat at haphazard. 1t is frank
ly admitted that the victory of Pat
O'Hara Wood and Patterson was no
fluke. They are better team than
our best in the most spectacular
branch of the sport. In the singles
our two "Bills" are still the aces.
| Johnston, whom everybody ad-
mires not only for his pre-eminent
skill but for his never -say-die sport
ing spirit, which seems to typify
the American mood at it's best, was
the outstanding figure Of the Forest
Hills tournament. The marvellous
little Californian appears to be at
the peak of his game. Tilden will
need his full armory of strokes to
withstand the Johnstonian on
slaught this year.

Sir: An American consulate in
England is reported to have been
closed by the British because of the
consul's alleged persistence in urging
people to travel by American steamers.
AS ore of Americas many visitors to
Europe in the last year, have found
the English clerks In tourist agencies
active in their discrimination against
American ships and persistent in their
efforts to route us home by British
ships instead OF the new American
liners.
In my case 1t came to try-out of
determination and wits between my
self and the shipping clerk. had the
temerity to decline his suggestions of
British ships and to declare I would
travel only by an American liner, even
if it were inferior, as he said it was.
1t all ended in my having to engage
8 tender to take me out to the Ameri-
can boat.
Are we expected by British ship
owners to throttle our new merchant
marine and be again at the mercy
of foreign shipping in time of war !?
Why does Great Britain interpret oil
our efforts to huild up merchant
marine as hostile to her?

The Fruits of Folly

The Greeks recalled Constantine
in 1920 in fit of pique. They felt
an itching to smash something, so
they smashed Venizelos, the greatest
OF Greek statesmen, who had raised
his country to new pinnacle of
power. This man, who has done
everything for Greece, was discarded
for Constantine, who has done
Greece nothing but harm.
1t was a lark in the eyes of the
Greek voters to recall a worthless
King who had betrayed the country's
interests to please q German wife
and brother-in-law. Such is the per-
versity of peoples when they fall
into trouble-making mood. But.
what seemed lark has turned into
q black tragedy. Constantine's folly
has done what any minded
Greek must have known that it
would do. This time he has sacri
flced the substance and prestige of
the country not to German advan-
tage but to his own vainglory.
When Tino reascended the throne
Greece's hold in Thrace and west
ern Asia Minor was secure. The
Greek armies had occupied SMYRNA
and the whole region north to the
Black Sea. Greece had treaty title
to this area. The beaten Nationalist
Turks were satisfied to defend the
approaches to Angora.
Constantines return changed all
this. The Allies could not trust him.
re membering his war perfdy. They
naturally refused to accept him as
their agent in enforcing the Sevres
Treaty. Defying them, he under
took war on credit against the
Turks, with the hope of compelling
the Angora government to cede him
the Asian territory which the Allies
had allotted to Venizelos but would
not allot to him.
This mad ambition has practically
bankrupted Greece. 1t has led to
the costly failure of the two 1921
campaigns for Angora and to the
final crushing defeat inflicted last
week on the Greek armies in Asia.
The Greek forces are now evacuat
ing the lines which they occupied
before Constantine's recall. 1t is a
question whether they can defend
Smyrna.
The Greek government is begging
the Allies to intervene and secure
an armistice from the Turks. Athens
IS eating, very humble pie. The
childish prank of 1920 is recalled
with genuine heartburnings. Con-
stantlne's adventure will probably be
llquidated at the Venice conference
There is little left to liquidate. AS

manner of electrical conyeniences
into the home is daily getting
greater.
The incredible thing Is that during
the short span of forty years cleo
tricity should have intrenched itself
SO strongly in our daily life. Not
even Mr.. Edison on that 4th of Sep
tennber in 1882 could have foreseen
the effect of his invention on the de-
velopment of the world. For every
bulb lit on that first day there are

An Edison Anniversary

On September 4, 1882, the first
Edison power plant in New York
City sent out the first power for
few hundred lamps. To-day Mr..
Edison is still working in his labora-
tories perfecting his inventions and
the power plants of the city are fur
nishing current for many million
bulbs.
Within four decades electric light
ing, from being a curious expert
ment, has become standard neces-
sity. 1t has caused almost as great
revolution in the social and bust
ness life of our times as the tele
phone or the automobile. Like the
telephone, it is now taken for
granted and is depended upon as an
essential. Like the automobile. it
has greatly enhanced mans facility
for work and has added enormously
to his capacity for enjoyment.
1t will not be long before the chill
dren of the country districts alone
will know the life familiar to the
generation now passing. City chill
dren will not be able to picture the
life of horses and carriages, of lamp
and candle light and of telephone

tie more unlikely than the tale of the
small girl who on first seeing a
woman using an old-fashioned fiat
iron assured her that it wouldn't
work because it didn't have a string
attached to it. Electric irons have
by no means replaced the old style
as much as electric lights have re-
placed lamps. But the inroad Of all

The Bourgeois Balfour plan for an
international receivership of Aus
tria, with the receiver having at
hand an international police force to
keep down communistic riots and a
destruction of the little the Austrian
people have left. is an ingenious one.
Moreover, it seems justified by
many special circumstances.
But difficulties are in the path of
its practical application. There was
an international police force of a
kind in Upper Silesia, and it became
new cause of friction between
Great Britain and France. Blessed
are the peacemakers, but, alas! even
assemblages of pacifists have been
known to break up in anger.
Moreover, a receivership of a
bankrupt nation imposes heavy obli
cations on the receiver. In this case
there are mouths to be filled. Who
will undertake the duty? Doubtless
this can be arranged and Mr.. Hoover
can be called in. But the troubles of
Austria, as seen from this side, are
not durable by mere largess of
bread. A serious responsibility is
assumed when the economic unit
such as the old Austria Hungary
is broken UP. The world is pre-
scented striking example of pushing

At the TEseuter
The same can be said about the, stage,
which reveals general laxity Of
morals, often total absence OF good
taste; for both manager and perform
er have to adapt themselves to the
new public. To-day it is almost impos-
sible to cater for the moody and
changeable proletarian; unfortunately,
the takings Of the box Office are de-
pendent on him to great extent, and
producers cannot afford to risk money
on possible failure. The most OBJ
vious and obscene Joke is sure to
please, and the house rocks at the
least touch Of vulgarity. In this re-
spect the tone of the new produc-

plays which found favor immediately
after the revolution.

Emulation

Little Johnny means some day
To make the bleachers scream
Every time they see him play
On big league team.
He's got the pellet we'll con-
trolled;
He's quick, and cool and calm,
And when he's twenty-one years
old
He'll be a real Ahenom.
All he needs to ht&aa IS fame
Ambitious little mite
And then some day he'll throw
game
And get rich over night!
Tommy's learned to clout the pill
Across the garden wall.
He has the most amazing skill
For one so very small.
He'll be a big league player soon
And have the game down pat,
And knock 'em half way to the
moon
When he steps up to bat.
And he has not the slightest
doubt
That he'll hit such gait
That he can sell series out
In 1928.
Eddy's playing center field
And aims to be star.
He says that some time he'll be
heeled
And have a motor car.
"I'll only need to wait" says he,
Until I get my break;
The gamblers will come up to me
And find out what I'll take.
I'll double any price they name,
And if they treat me fair,
The day blow and quit tn,

I'll be millionaire.

would be to give equal publicity to the
fact that DR.. Grant, for instance, does
not represent the thought of the clergy
of the Episcopal Church. He seems to
tnink it un-American (and why is any,

refuse to marry divorced people. And
yet in this town, for example, the
clergy of the Roman Catholic, Epis-

Relentless Economies

Sir: The Daugherty injunction is
followed by vague talk of Slavery"
although there is nothing in the docu-
ment to indicate that its purpose is
to make men work--it aims only to
assure those who will work the op-
portunity to work.
Will labor never learn that produc-
tion inevitably comes before consump-
tion, and that il labor will not pro-
duce it may not consume-that the
"cost of living" will be high, no mat
ter what the wage level? For in the
last analysis, II the shoemaker and the
tailor and the automobile maker and
the farmer do not produce, there will
be nothing to offer in exchange for
what the other has, and the other will
have no surplus over his own needs
anyway.
Is the mind OF union leader so
blank that the most fundamental of all
economical principles cannot sink in ?
If SO, Russianization is the only hope.
Then all of us will he equal-and only
then and the standard will be lower
than that which any worker in this
country now knows.
We are face to face with a great
crisis, and some Of the mea who ought
TO appreciate it do not seem to realize
whittier we are drifting. Our last
hope is not labor itself-factory
workers, rail workers. etc, but the
farmers, who combine labor and capi-
tai. II they fail US we are lost.

New-York tribune., 1922-09-06

Two Labor Day utterances by
union labor leaders struck novel
note. They implied some recogni-
tion of the great change which has
occurred in the public's attitude
toward the claims of organized
labor,
Mr.. Gompers said in Washington:
NEyery contest with the owners
and manipulators of industry, ac-
centuates the truth that the workers
have but few outside their own
ranks who sympathize with them in
their determination to emancipate
mankind or support them in their
efforts
Here a truth shines through a
sheathing of misleading rhetoric.
Mr.. Gompers sees that few people
sympathize any longer with the ef-
forts of labor unionism, as now prac-
ticed, to exploit the rest of the COM
munity. He ingenuously says that
unionism is trying to "emancipate
mankind But people who have fol-
lowed that effort have wakened to
the fact that the emancipation" is
not intended to extend beyond the
ranks Of the unions.
Organized labor is technically, and
often actually, hostile to capital.
But it is far more hostile to other
labor. 1t will see non-union labor
competing with it killed or starved
without a quiver of compassion. 1t
will join with capital to practice ex-
tortion on the great mass of labor
ing men, on salaried workers and
on women and children. If union
labor can build up its own compen-
sation fund it is little concerned
whether there is enough left to go
around among other workers.
Mr.. Gompers admits that union
lied labor has few friends where it
once had many. He doesn't hint at
the real reason for this, which is
that the unions are pursuing an
economic policy in obvious antago-
nism to the interest of every other
class.
Mr., Lee, president of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen, said at
Cleveland, dealing more particularly
with the railroad situation:
Instead of continuing a program
of reprisals both capital and labor
must agree to common sense, fair
and practical adjustment of their
differences, or there will be what
amounts to conscription of certain
classes of both in the interest of
common welfare"
This is franker talk than Mr..
Gompers's. Mr.. Lee is wise enough
to realize that the railroad unions
cannot have their way in railroad
ing as the miners union, for in
stance, has had its way in the coal
industry. The public has a direct
n interest in transportation and has
e %asserted its right to regulate wages
= and working conditions through
Federal agencies. 1t has in a way
''conscripted" railroad capital and
railroad labor. 1t is. determined
that they shall accommodate them
selves hereafter to the requirements
of the Common welfare"
This applies to rates and wages.
1t also applies to strikes. In the
transportation field the unions have
yielded far more than they. have in
other fields. And the public will
never agree to have the destructive
freedom Of the old strike-when-
please era restored.

So far. the superficial pre-war pie

one respect, for the all-pervading
shadow of imperialism is absent. Gone

uniforms, the pomp and splendor of
