Investigating the Turk

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The proposal Of investigation
by Great Britain, France and Italy of
recent Turkish atrocities perpetrated
cn the Armenians and Greeks is an
attempt to placate civilized public
opinion, which has been affronted by
the base betrayal of the Christian
peoples of the Near East The moral
bankruptcy of Europe is plainly re-
vcaled in this proposal of a farcical
and futile investigation, to which the
American government. has very wise
~ refused to lend dignity.
Investigations Of Turkish atrocities
have been conducted for the last fftv
years, to the great amusement Of the
turks, who have no objection to their
indefinite continuation SO long as they
do not deter them from perpetratine
atrocities.
The most opportunc and welcom. in
vostigation would be an inves tieation

made during the war for the liberation

Henry Ford, His Relics

Henry Ford, superior to the dis
semblings Of false modesty, announces
his intention Of restoring his boyhood
home. Why pretend that the people of
the United States are NOT vastly in
terested in the Great Giver of Flivvers ?
Why deny that they will, eventually if
not now. 60 agasoline pigrimaging to
his birthplace? Why, then, ignore the
undeniable fact that it is much easier
to collect relics Of Henry Ford's child
hood now than it will be fifty years
from now?
Why bring into existence unneces-
sarily and doom to years Of toll an
order of the Daughters Of the Tin
Lizzie, and compel it to finance the
restoration of Henry Ford's home, and
to acquire from rapacious collectors
all surviving relics, no matter how
much antique Handicapped tables ana
Rogers groups may soar in value with
in generation? Then there are
things that money cannot buy. Henry
Ford's first corduroy trousers, for ex-
ample. Could any artihee OF reverence
or wealth bring them back once their
owners daughter-in-law burned them
in the back yard? No; relics should be
preserved while there is yet time.

The RushwicES Subway

TO get a subway instead Of an Gle
waited railwa. a. the connecting Ink
between the + ourteenth Street sub
way and Brooklyn's Eastern District
it IS indispensable to have the CO.
operation Of three agencies. These
arc the Transit Commission, As the
contract-letting power; the Board Of
Estimate, as the contract approving
power and the 3. 4. T., as tic ooer-
ating company, which under its gen
eral contract with The city has the
privilege Of insisting on an elevated
line. which is cheaper.
The Transit Commission favors
subway, but holds that an elevated
line is better han nothing. SO it has
let g contract for the same, although
it declares it will be delighted if the
l:oard of Estimate can induce the B.
R, I. TO Weld and offers to Join in
any effort it may make to induce q
change.
The Board Of Estimate is for a
subway or nothing, The Bushwick
nelghbors of the Mayor naturally do
not want their horizons narrowed by
iron grillwor}i aud their ears filled
with an overhead roar. They de-
scended on the City Hall the other
day, and, though two years ago the
board, when John J, Delaney was
Transit Commissioner, agreed to the
project for an elevated line. il
promptly changed its position-all
the more willingly, perhaps, because
the dispute over the kind of con-
struction might screen the fact Of
obstruction.
The net result of the boards
neglect TO make common cause with
the Transit commission is, of course,
not displeasing to the B. r. T. Should
Chairman McAneny and Mayor Hy-
IAN Jointly call on Receiver Garrison
and ask him in point-blank fashion
to waive the B. r. Us contract
rights ne would find it embarrassing
to refuse. He would see that the CITY
was united in its policy, and thought
OF the risk involved in defiance would
scarcely be absent from his mind.
The B. r. I. is thus we'll served
when the Board of Estimate retreats
to its hole and does nothing but
shout for Il subway.
Mayor Hylan in this matter seems
in practical alliance with 'the inter
ests.' BY perpctuating his feud with
the Transit Commission he encour
ages the B. r. 7. MI. Garrison is
shrewd enough to know that he need
not worry as long as the Mayor pre-
vents common action.
Bushwick wants subway. as we'll
it may. Its people are intelligent
enough to Judge whether or not the
nest way of getting one is being pur-
sued. If the City Halls course is to
lessen chances is the City Hall to be
held responsible" It is rule Of law
as Well rs Of common sense that
man means what his acts imply.
