A Peril to Prosperity

No sooner does the lockwood COM
mittee compose the differences be
tween builders and brieklayers than
a new menace to the building in
dustry arises. This menace lies in
a dispute between master plumbers
and their journeymen, who, accord
;ng 70 the plumbing contractors, will
not work on building jobs unless
each man gets a dollar n day above
the union scale.
II Is probable that the Lockwood
committee has no actual power 10
adjust this trouble, which II II con-
tinues may add 40 per cent TO plumb
ing costs and deter many builders
from seeking new contracts. But the
committee can at least investigate
the matter and give its findings full
publicity. This city is in dire need
OF many new buildings as soon as
they can be erected. Any quarrels
which threaten 10 block building
progress cease TO be private affairs
and become the concern Of the
whole population.
Strike and labor differences are
adjusted in the last analysis by the
force Of public opinion. Public opin-
ion was behind the lockwood com
mittee in its solution Of the brick
layers dispute and made its media
ton effective. II will be equally
eficacious In helping toward a set
tlement Of the plumber and journey
man disagreement as soon rs all the
facts are made known.

A Long Term Fight

There can be no serious argument
against President Hsrding's in
slstence that the shipping bin needs
a long-term support and that an an
nual appropriation is a weak and
wrong substitute. What Congress
needs to visualize Is the long fight
that American shipping must make
II It is to hold its own against the
great shipping nations of the world.
The tsn-year period provided for in
the original bill is not one bit too
long.
II was a picturesque illustration
Of how keen the shipping contest Is
that Senator La Toilette could boost
the shares Of British shipping com
panies by announcing a filibuster
against the American shipping bill.
The details Of the warfare are end
less: its ramifcations touch rates.
shippers, eonsignees, dock owners,
warehousemen, ticket agents, az well
as active, wise government depart
ments experienced through many
decades in just how to boost a
nations shipping and handicap its
competitors. Only permanent body
operating over a period Of years can
possibly hold its own in such a
contest.
Nothing could be more grotesque
than the effort Of certain enemies
Of shipping TO apply the doctrines
Of free trade to ships and shipping.
There is no such thing as an open,
competitive market in the carrying
trade. At every turn the British
ship owner favors the British ship
per and vice versa. Direct govern
ment aid in subsidies, loans and
mail contracts is hut the beginning
Of the story. A hundred surrounding
conditions combine 20 restrict that
free competition in which the theory
Of free trade can alone operate.
The net result IS that American
trade abroad cannot hope TO COM
pete fairly with the commerce Of
other nations unless there are Amer
lean ships TO carry II, and there
cannot be American ships unless our
government fights for them exactly
as other nations fight for their ships.

year or two, but continuously, with

sistence that America puts into

Freak Sentences

Banishment from Grand Street,
White Plains, is an unusual punish
ment; non-residents cannot say how
cruel. Only the man on whom the
freak sentence has been imposed,
with the approval Of his counsel, can
tell how hard IL hits him.
There used 10 be small variety in
the unpleasant sequels Of a day in
court. Fine or imprisonment was the
usual dose for the misdemeanant.
But now in courtrooms here and there
there is as much uncertainty in the
outcome as though the defendant
were being put through a college
fraternity initiation.
Last summer a man was sentenced
10 NOW his lawn. Another was or
dered by the Judge to sleep in the
stable because he had left il filthy.
A special curfew was prescribed for
an errant young woman. A care
less milkman was obliged TO deliver
extra layers Of cream. The Grand
Street deadline for the White Plains
commuter is another Of these mag
isterial curiosities.
They make entertaining news
items, but do not tend to dignity the
tench. There viii probably be
fewer such queer impositions when
the code Of judicial ethics is adopted
which a committee Of the American
Bar Association. headed by Chief
Justice Taft. has in hand. The opin-
ion is widely held By leading men,
hers Of the bench and bar that un-
usual punishments, however ingeni-
Gus or humorous. are outside the
legal functions of a Judge.

Through Corsican Eyes

Corsicans will doubtless welcome
the death Of the famous bandit
Romanetti, but will resent the pub
licity that 1t brings them. They dis
like having their island famous for
its bandits and vendettas, instead of
for its beauties and its Bonaparte
family.
The idea Of bandits and blood
feuds is as inseparably connected
with the name Corsica" as are bull
fights with Spain. The only retort
lies in the fact that the Corsicans
and Spaniards, like most other Eu-
ropeans, look upon America as peo-
pied solely by cowboys and Indians
who travel around madly in fivvers
or on horseback and whose fayorite
amusement is shooting up the town.
Instead Of living in houses, we are
supposed to inhabt monstrous build
ings 10 which the French have given
the picturesque name "sky-scratch-
ers.'
Now, Corsica once earned its repu-
tation as a land Of feuds and ban
dts. II was the original home Of
the vendetta, or family feud, and it
once was infested with many ban
dts. So, also, however, were parts
Of the United States once inhabited
by Indians and roamed over by cow
boys armed with six-shooters. But
the Corsica Of to-day is inhabited by
a race Of industrious agriculturists
who raise fruits and olives and
fgs and make excellent. very heady
wines which, as a rule, are too deli
cate 70 export. Their habits are
peaceable and they are q law-abid-
ing folk who spend a good deal Of
their spare time playing a game Of
cards that much resembles poker.
The bandit Romanetti met his
death I'm a manner worthy Of his
predecessors; but II does not follow
for this reason that revival Of
bsnditry has commenced in Corsica.
Do the antics Of a drunken cowboy
in a Western village justify the be-
lief in Corsica that the Americans
have reverted 20 the ways Of the
early frontier and that 1t Is danger

Clemenceau' 5 Critics

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The critics Of Mr. Clemeneoau
include among the Senators Mr.. Borah
and among the publicists Mr William
Allen white. Both have contended
that the American people will not make
favorable response 10 Mr. Clemen-
ecau's appeal because this would mean
uphoiding the terms OF the Versailles
Treaty. Both these critics and those
who are ranged with them have treated
the Versailles Treaty a. an iniquitous
settlement, without, however, stating
either in what respect il was such or
what different peace terms they favor.
Mr.. Clemeneeau would be well ad-
vised. in case he decides TO add TO
what he has already said, in calling
upon these critics to state in what
particulars they object TO the YER
sailles Treaty and what their terms
are for a permanent peace settlement.
The Versailles Treaty restored

BeIated Alarm

For eight weeks or more the
public mas been lulled by mild
weather into a sense Of false security
regarding the fuel situation. Now
the Mayor and the fuel administra-
ton suddenly raise the cry Of alarm.

New York, We are told. Unless sup
plies are carefully conserved and
substitutes for anthracite widely en-
ployed a fuel shortage is certain to
make intolerable the next cold spell.
Surely the Mayor. who has always
suailabie the figures as TO the fuel
needed for city institutions, must
have been cognizant Of this situa-
ton for more than a week. More
over. the fuel administrator must
have known how little coal was COM

The Soft Coal Outlook

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir; The measure Of strike defense
which compels New York to burn soft
coal this winter will, n we are to judge
from precedent, become permanent
policy. Once before in New York tho
use OF soft coal was permitted under
like conditions This was 20 keep the
elevated roads running. Thereafter the
use OF soft coal continued until elec.
tricity was substituted for coal as a
motive power.
There Is no likelihood that the price
Of anthracite coal will ever be reduced

In the way this use was compelled In

tsry Code Is the easiest way Of permit.

easiest way Of putting into operation

The advantage long enjoyed By New
York over other American cities in the

soft coal will never return until such
time as electricity takes its place fOi

This will mean increased profits both

Opening the Black Sea

The Straits question at Lausanne
Is confused because Of the peculiar
past status Of the Black Sea. That
sea was shut of by practice and
treaty from other European waters.
After the Crimean War the Western
powers forbade Russia to maintain
wsrships in the Euxine. That re-
striction was afterward violated by
Russia. But Russian warships have
not been allowed 70 pass out through
the Straits; and the waterway was
also closed against warships OK
other powers seeking ingress. In
1914 Turkey sought 70 regularize
the admission Of the Goeben and the
Breslau by pretending to buy them
from Germany. No Allied war ves-
sells were permitted 20 pass the
DardAnelles forts IN the trail Of the
German fugitives.
Is the Blscl; Sea still closed seat
Or, II il is, ought il 70 remain so1
The question is more complicated
than il formerly was. Many states
now have a Black Sea frontage or
outlet. Rumania, Bulgaria and the
Caucasus republics are concerned, as
we'll as Turkey and Russia. Among
all these Russia is the only naval
power. Il is perfectly plain why
Russia contends for the old theory
Of non-intrusiOn and why she il will
ing 10 forget the fact that Turkey
was the jailer who kept the Western
Allied fleets from coming 10 her
rescue in 1915, 1916 and 1917.
Tchitcherin believes that the new
Turkey will be a benevolent turnkey.
willing to let Russian warships out
at a pinch, and determined not 70
let other warships in.
The only sea route to Bulgaria,
Rumania and the new Caucasus
states lies through the Dardsnelles.
Why should this route be controlled
by a single power? The Western
Allied view and the American view
are that one-power control Is out OF
the question. The Turks did not
build the passageway. Nature made
it Should II not be relatively as
open 70 use by all nations as the
Strait Of Gibraltar or the Strait Of
Otranto?
The fact that Constantinople, the
Turkish capital. lies on the shore Of
the narrow Bosporus may have TO
be taken into account. The Western
European nations are apparently
willing 70 allow Turkey 10 put pro-
tective limitations on the right Of
free passage for foreign war vessels.
Italy would probably be pleased to
shut Russian naval power perma-
nently out Of the Mediterranean.
But a control which rested with
New-York tribune., 1922-12-08

Turkey alone would ignore the sac-
rifices Of the war and restore n
Straits and Black Sea status which
Is opposed to general world inter
ests.
America has always stood for
wide recognition Of the freedom Of
the seas. She could not logically
take a different stand at Lausanne,
where free use Of the Black Sea is
one OF the most vital subjects under
discussion.
