Germany's SeIf-Paralysis

During the>last week in June the
increase in Germany's paper money
was 1880, 100000 marks.
The German government has re-
peatedly declared it would not fur
Their initiate. German fnanciers and
economists freely acknowledge the
necessary consequences Of working
the printing press so feverishly;
but, instead of a stoppage, or even a
slowing up, the presses revoive fast
e. and faster.
Germany says she is bankrupt.
Of course she is. Her promises to
pay are beyond her ability to pay.
The PREPARATION Judgment recorded
against her is but fractional and
negligible in comparison with the
debt she has voluntarily heaped up
at home and to which she seeks to
give preference. Her chief economic
troubles are not due to pressure
from the outside, but to folly on the
inside. She has turned her home
business into q gamble. No pro-
Queer knows OF can know what he is
to get for his labor. So, just as in
Russia, he quits work. Not repara-
lions but paper money is the main
root of Germany's Affections.
None in Germany and few outside
of it face the facts in her case.
Genoa sidestepped the initiation ques-
ton, disregarding the report Of ex-
perts who gently peeped about it.
Yet def1ation and money sanity are
essential to economic rehabilitation.
Though this is obvious, the German
government in one week created a
debt against itself which has the
nominal value of three billion dol
lars--enough to pay her PREPARATION
assessments for three or four years.
She is in the position of man who
owes penny and then borrows
dollar and then talks of the heavi-
ness of the penny's burden.

The Deadly "Stunt"

There is the same relation be-
tween the ordinary aviator and the
stunt" aviator as there is between
the engineer who builds a bridge
over the Niagara River and the ac-
robat who crosses it on a slack wire.
The one is a contributor to the
art of flying, the other is a dare
devil who risks his neck in order
to attract public attention.
1t adds nothing to the science of
aviation to stand on ones hands on
moving machine or to send it
through loops in the air. It adds
only to the morbid enjoyment Of the
kind of crowds that cape beneath,
secretly hoping that they will wit
ness a tragedy that they can tell
their friends about the next day.
There is genuine utility in para
chute jumps and in certain eyolu-
lions needful in warfare. But
these should be practiced only By
army or navy aviators and under
strict supervision.

The Burnt Child

The announcement that Mr..
Hearst doesn't want to be Governor
comedies closely in point of time
with the announcement from SYRIA
cuse that the upstate Democrats do
not want to nominate him for
Governor.
Mr.. Hearst has tasted political de-
feat in times past and found it un-
pleasant. Defeat has, in fact, COM
posed his only political diet, and it
is quite natural that it should begin
to pail.
The statement Of the editors
friends that he never did want to be
Governor may or may not be true.
Certain it is that he-or somebody
spent great deal of money in an
effort to manufacture sentiment for
him, an effort that failed because
Of a lack of raw material.
Now, however, with big Smith
conference blanketing a very little
Hearst conference at Syracuse, Mr..
Hearst seems to be persuaded that
he was mistaken when he fancied he
heard the peoples voice calling TO.
him. He doesn't want to be beaten
again. The burnt child fears the
fire.
1t must not be imagined for an
instant that this realization is going
to put Mr.. Hearst out Of politics, or
that Tammany has any ground for
rejoicing in the belief that he has
ceased from troubling.
He will demand a voice in the
nomination for Governor, places on
the ticket for Hearst men and some
sort of assurance of support in
the national convention before he
will agree to support the, party In
November.
What he really is after, as The
Tribune has already pointed out, is
I the Presidency. Nothing in the re-
cent statement of his friends can be
construed to mean that he has
abated jot of that purpose.

The Sherman Nuisance

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: You should send marked copy
of your issue containing the editorial
"The Sherman Nuisance" to the men,
bers of Congress, calling their atten-
tion to the last paragraph: 1.-THE Sher-
man law is a nuisance which has been
too long endured. 1t is totem pole
that Congress should remove to the
museum of legal antiquities"
The Sherman antitrust law was an
attempt by Congress to delegate to the
Supreme Court its legislative func-
ton and to permit it to create out of
it's own decisions, in the process of
time, legislative act. Your quotation
from Chief Justice Taft proves this:
|" that ultimately the courts
would work out an understandable
body of doctrine" This substitution
of legislative function by the court
and this uniting in fact both branches
of government in one. have been the
cause of most of the difficulties arising
under the Sherman law.
What restraint of trade" is having
been left to be determined by nine
men guided by their own "rule of rea-
son." some amazing non-judicial de-
cisions have been given us. Rulings
have been made on one set of facts
by five to four vote. On almost SINH
lar facts reverse ruling has been
made by four to five vote. Decisions
have been given making an act crime
against the law which had not been so
interpreted prior to the defendants
committing the act. No one can be.
come guilty of the commission Of a
crime If it is that act which creates
the law which causes it to be crime.
cannot make my meaning clearer than
by quoting from your own editorial:
1--WE have a law which no one is
able to understand. Is it not time to
scrap it and to substitute one ali can
understand? The law should SURELY
define what conduct or form of oreani-
cation is legal. Both large
corporations and labor unions are en-
titled to know in advance the qualities
OF their acts. They do not know this
and can't"
Let Congress legislate. Let the su-
preme Court pass on the constitution
atty of its laws, and let the Execu-
tive, through his Department Of JUS
tice, enforce them. Let violators Of
the law know what the law is before
being held as criminals. IGNORANCE
OF the law is no excuse" but an "ipno.
rant" law is a perfect one.

Where Delay Costs

Republican Senate leaders are
talking of passing the McCumber
tariff bill.fiat this session, possibly
passing the McCumber bonus bill
and putting the shipping bill over
until next session. If these meas
ures were handled in the order of
their real Importance the shipping
bill would come first and the others
nowhere at this session.
There is no need at all for bonus
act, and permanent tariff revision
could be geously postponed
until 1928. or 1924. But every day
aggravates the plight Of our mer-
chant marine and fastens heavier
loss on the government from it's war
shipping investment.
The only practicable way out is
for the government to hquidate its
enterprise-to divest itself of it's op-
Grating ftplctiqns and to get rid of
its ships. But it cannot hope to
sell ships to private American own
ers unless those owners are guar
anteed against government COMPETE
ton. The routes which the Ship
ping Board now maintains cannot be
kept open. unless private capital is
encouraged to take them over and
keep them open. And these results
can be attained only by the passage
of a bill readjusting the govern
ment's relations to private operators.
The situation is in a snarl. The
government us losing money on the
feet. The feet is making less and
less of asreturnpon it's cost in the
way of keeping American ships in
the ocean-carryipg trade. The gov
ernment's heavy overhead charges
for administration continue. There
is no salvation in standing still. But
the passage of the shipping bill
would at once make government
economies possible,
Yet because they don't like the word
subsidy" many Congressman are
content to maintain the present fleet
at far greater cost to the Treas
ury than any subsidy allowance.
They would keep the government
tied up with losing enterprise.
Whatever may be the incidental de-
fects of the House bill, it's principle
is sound. 1t offers the only means
Of lifting the wrecked government
shipping project out of the nire and
of clearing the way for the future.
1t is measure of national economy
not of prodigahty, as it's critics
mistakenly say.
Other bills may wait without
harm. Delay with the shipping bill
will cost. us tens of millions of
dollars. a. y

Mr.. Borah's Message

Mr.. Borah's speech in the Senate
on Thursday Is criticizable for it's
substance, but in manner and spirit
it came like breath of fresh air
into a long-closed chamber. 1t
brought into a heavy atmosphere,
charged with artificial sentiment
and sheltered misconceptions, some
thing from the great outdoors.
Mr.. Borah didn't talk like Sem
ator. He talked like a citizen, with
an eye level to that of the average
alert American. 1t is this rare
faculty which sets him apart
among his colleagues and gives him
the nationwide influence due to his
marked individuality. He refused
to be a standardized Senator.
1t is seldom nowadays that
Congressman is found talking out
Of his conventional role. The pro-
fessional manner has taken posses
sion of him. The bonus hysteria of
the last twelve months has con-
verified him into salesman, con-
WINGED that he has found the secret
of exchanging legislation for votes.
He deals with group prospects. He
scatters his investments. He has
forgotten the salutary truth en-
phasized in the last couple of days.
by President Harding, that his 10y
atty as a legislator is due to the
whole country and not to any clam
orous group.
The Tribune does not go along
with Mr.. Borah in many things
which he says and does. But when
he tells the Senate that the first,
almost the exclusive, task of this
Congress is to repair the wastes of
the war, to come to grips with eco
nonic realities and to trim sail
wherever possible, he speaks the
unvarnished truth. Are the Senate
leaders anxious to finish with
tariff revision which the country
does not want in order to pass
bonus bill tying a new weight Of
from s5,00o,0 100000 to $4,000, o00,0 900
about the Trcasury's neck? Then
their anxiety is misplaced and
harmful. They are thinking in
terms of inside, cobwebby politics,
Of things which wear an altogether
different aspect to the harassed
taxpayer.
Mr.. Borah thunders against this
inner temple perversity and in
difference. The Senate listens to
him and is troubled. But will it
have the courage to confess it's
errors of Judgment and it's degrada-
ton of the legislative function?
The country will hope that it is
touched sincerely enough to repent!

Dobbin's Last Refuse

ton was under his direction. His
dream, soon to be realized, was of

projected over South Street and the
Brooklyn waterfront.
A year later, in May, the great

GROWING glory of New York and
one of the. wonders of the world.

New York and Long Island, it is

More About Central Park

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Under the heading Park Site
for the Memorial" your correspondent
F. M. Page advocates the placing in
Central Park of the proposed art and
music memorial building and seeks
comment on his proposition from Trib-
une readers.
Mr.. Page makes the too frequent
mistake Of misunderstanding the true
purpose of such park. Among other
statements he says. "The contour of
ground at this place is such that it is
Of little use except in scenic way"
From this point of view we might fill
in all lakes and cut down all hills and
rocks to the general street level What
is the park except piece of rural
scenery? AS such there is no place
in Central Park for any building what
ever except those structures that are
necessary for administration and care
taking purposes. Even the Museum of
Art, which he calls precedent" is an
encroachment upon park ground
which should never have been per-
mitted All building projects for
Central Park, Of which .this memorial
building is the latest, may be CON
sidered as entering wedges, which, if
permitted, would start general de-

An Heroic Black Man

The negro question, the great
issue of what to do to secure justice
to and the proper development of the
semi-submerged one-tenth of our
population, is commonly discussed as
mass question.
1t is, in facs, chiefly an individual
question: matter for each negro to
solve for himself. Environment is
important, for bad surroundings cor
rupt. But environment is not all.
No race was ever long kept down
whose members deserved to rise. No
race ever rose far when it's members
lacked the stuff of personal virtue.
Charles Sanford, the heroic negro
superintendent of an uptown apart
ment, who beat his way past flames
into burning apartment in which
a white woman and her infant child
were cut off; who extinguished with
his bare hands their blazing gar
ments and enabled them to reach
window, and then saved himself by
swinging into courtyard on slen-
der clothesline, did something for
his people. 1t will be hard to con-
vince one white woman or her child
when it grows up and hears the
story to fear black faces or to be-
lieve charges hastily and ignorantly
made against black folk. Booker
Washington preached sound doc
Urine. Better still, Charles Sanford
applied it.
The Negroes future is in his, own
hands. The way upward is hard,
and many, yielding to weakness, will
not be strong enough to endure it's
strain. But there is no other path
to the highlands of equality and
justice.

type of picture and manufactures it by
the gross who dies unlamented. He gets
professionalism, which is to say that
he exercises his facilities too much in

More Truth Than Poetry

The Justice Dodser

AhS y ocNANC AOoSSt
I know the bluejay is a thief
I've caught him at it, many a
l know that, almost past belief,
Is his capacity for crime.
I've seen him steal robins child
And wondered how the rascal
could;
I've heard him stormed at and
reviled
BY all the birds about the wood.
I've watched him wheel in sud-
den fight,
Emitting terror stricken
squeals,
And hurry off with all his might
Two angry kingbirds at his
heels.
I've seen him sitting, unashamed,
When scolded by a chattering
wren,
Who every little while exclaimed:
Don't try to eat my eggs
again"
He leads a lone and outcast life
In woods where nice birds con-
gregate.
The villain and his f1ashy wife
Are looked upon with scorn
and hate.
And yet he will not mend his
ways,
Though Knocked, derided and
pursued,
And forced his family to raise
In some sequestered solitude.
But he is such a handsome knave,
And wears his clothes with
such an art!
He looks so dashing and 80 brave
Despite his black and evil
heart,
That though I set out stern and
grim
To end his reign of thefts and
loot
And aim my deadly gun at him
[ never can quite bear to
