Editorial Opinion
MILLIONS FOR SOLDIER RELIEF
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Forty million dollars a month is
what the United States Government
Is now spending through the War
Veterans Bureau for the care OF
former service men with hospitaliza-
ton, vocational training and other
benefits for the manned and needy.
This Is at the rate OF S4S0,000, 600 a
year and 1t is big, broad, generous
treatment of those who ought 70 be
helped. But ii is none too generous
II the relief expense Is needed and
II the relief work is done right.
II isa heavy national charge, how
ever. because this forty millions a
month means an average tax cost or
50 a month, or s24 a'year. for every
family in the United States. But II
the monthly cost of caring Tor the
younded and helpless soldiers aver
agad more. much more than II now
does for every family in the United
states the American people would
gladly nav the bill. They wouid ue-
nrive themselves, II it were neces-
sarv to assure the care of the sol
dipFg their SOLO GOAA4AN@S%@
the relief work be wisely and en-
ciently managed and the rehei
money spent only on those needing
and deserving it.
The American people never would
countenance a niggardly policy OF
Government relief for the soldiers
who came back so broken and help
less that they could not do for them
selves. But so long as there remain
the sick and injured and helpless
still to be cared for by the thou
sands, the American people will not
tolerate an indiscriminate squander
of billions Of dollars on soldiers that
are well and strong and capable OF
self-support.
That Is the difference between the
American spirit ready to lend
hand to those compelled to
be the country's wards against their
will and American contempt for
mere bonus loot.

SOME WHO DO NOT FORGET.

From the New York Tribune.
It was natural that the marine
workers unions, whose membership
numbers one hundred thousand,
should take steps to organize
against Reds and outlaw unions of
the sort which did so much mischief
during the war.
These men do not forget. In the
years of the war they lost many Of
their number who had shipped on
American vessels which were ruth
lessly torpedoed. They knew that
all about them were spies whose
business was TO inform Germany Of
the dates of departure OF the vessels
they were loading.
Although non-conbatants, all ma
rine workers on the deck Of an
ocean-going ship or on the dock from
which it was loaded were war work
ers-helping the country in its great
est fight.
Constantly Red propagandists
came among them. seeking to per-
suade them to paralyze the nations
war power by hindering the steady
flow of troops and goods and muni-
tions to the other side They re-
garded these men as the enemies of
the country. and they know that
they are still the country's enemies.
The new organization is TO be
known as the Consolidated Marine
Workers Organization of New
York and Vicinity. Its purpose. like
that of all enlightened union men,
Is patriotic. The organization will
be of vast help to New York and TO
all the country in the days to come.

Comment on Airplane Disaster.

The terrible airplane disaster at Brat,
tleboro with its toll of three deaths warns
us that much remains to be done in the
way OF improving airships and master
ing their control before aerial navigation
will cease to be dangerous occupation
as the insurance companies say.-Bur-
lington Free Press.
The Banner is of the opinion that the
papers have not told quite the full story
in connection with the tragedy at Brat
tleborO last Friday. The editor of the
Banner was a witness of the accident,
but does not know enough about air
planes and aviation to speak with GER
tainty of judgment. However, it was his
conclusion from listening to the conversa-
ton of those who knew more, that the
deaths of three people may have been due
to the recklessness of the pilot of the
burned Oriole. Several people, including
at least one automobile mechanic, re-
marked before the plane left the ground
that the engine was skipping and that
was not the first time the pilot had had
difficulty in getting his machine off. In
this case he had to try twice and when
the plane finally left the field it was
headed in what Governor Hartness de-
clarcd to be the wrong direction and had
so little clearance that it barely avoided
the trees on the south side of West river.
nv N"Hp"p'I i'poitS say ihdt thc pane
was so feet from the ground when the
accident occurred. Actual measurement
we believe, would show considerably less.
In case of railroad accident it is COM
mon to investigate promptly to learn
whether is was the fault of the engineer
or some other railroad man. When an
automobile is wrecked. the first thought
is to blame the driver and often with
justice. Is there any good reason why
the pilot of an airplane in which three
people lost their lives should be allowed
to go without investigation by competent
authority ?-Benningto Banner.
