Fifty-Fifty

Wednesday afternoon, the first
day of the post-season baseball
series, two thousand or more human
beings of assorted ages and sexes
stood in Park Row watching the
score board.
At an exciting moment in the
game thick cloud of smoke issuing
from a building across City Hall
Park drifted over them. An instant
later jangling fire apparatus hurried
by. Almost exactly half the crowd,
after one last lingering, longing
look at the score, yielded to a more
primitive and ancient instinct--that
of pleasure in witnessing the de-
struction of property-and scuttled
across the park to the fire.
The other half shifted the smoke,
gaped at the engines, and then with
no perceptible struggle resumed the
survey of the bulletin board.
Unfortunately for observers in
tent on making a scientific test the
fire lasted only few minutes and
burned without outward blaze. 1t
was established, however, in that
few minutes that the race is not
wholly civilized, even by baseball.
Fifty per cent of it still cannot re-
sist the lure Of fire and will yield
when one breaks out to a complex
that has been handed down to them
from ancestors whose habitations
were lit by the sparks from primeval
volcanoes.

every bank that maintains branches
at home or abroad.
AS to the practical proposition
which precipitated the whole de-
bate, whether national banks
should be authorized by legislation
to open branches within the corpo-
rate limits of their own cities in
those states where state banks have
the right, The Tribune believes
that they should. The growth Of
our cities makes it impracticable for
customers of banks regularly to
journey to the financial districts.
They can be best served by banks
that reach out into the several
neighborhoods that compose the
municipality. Some districts are yet
too small to justify the opening of
an independent bank that can give
complete service, yet experience
has shown that larger banks are
ready to establish branches at such
centers.
New York is covered by net
work of branch banks, and we have
seen no convincing evidence of op-
preston or autocracy. The present
method by which national banks ac-
quire branches through the evasive
and roundabout route of first alb
sorbing state bank with branches
should be superseded by clarifca-
ton Of the national bank law which
will place national banks on n
parity with state banks.

Physical Training in the Schools

1t is a good suggestion by the
Board of Education that more at
tention be paid to the physical de-
velopment of the part-time stu
dents. A law exists, but unfortu-
nately has not always been OBJ
served, requiring every pupil above
eight years Of age, who is not physi-
cally disqualified, to receive physi-
cal training for at least twenty min
utes each day. As is generally the
case inadequate appropriations
have been made for carrying out
this law, with the result that train
ing is not yet well systematizcd nor
thoroughly given. Every oppor-
tunity to improve it should be
used.
1t is curious thing that despite
our passion for athletics we have
done SO little for the physical edu-
cation of school children. AS a
matter Of fact much of our interest
i'll sports has really been interest in
the contesting teams. The develop
ment of the majority has been sac
rificed for the development Of a
small group of athletic experts. Too
many Americans take their exercise
by sitting in the bleachers. While
this is, of course, less true of
youngsters than of grown-ups, there
has been SO little systematic de-
.velopment of the average school boy
and girl that the result has been
much the same.
We believe in training the minds
of children by study and discipline.
Yet we allow their bodies to grow
wild. We develop their powers of
reasoning by application to arithmc-
tic and the fundamentals of knowl-
edge. Yet we trust to their "play
instinct and their natural vitality
to develop their bodies properly.

For War on the Turk
To the Editor of the Tribune.


Sir: Any one who is at all acquainted
with Turkish history knows that the
security proposed for the "racial and
religious minorities", mentioned in the
recent communication is fraud.
backed ZIP as it is by mere words Of
nations which Turkey we'll knows will
not fight for it,.
No trivial contributions to famine
funds and for the support of the or.
phans created by Turkeys crimes can
excuse our failure to strike the Grim
inal. If the United States fails of it's
duty in this regard it will be only law
ing up trouble for future generations
The mills of the gods grind slowly. but
they never cease grinding.
To the extent of suppressine Turkey
we ought to take hand in European
affairs. Our talk to the Turks should
be in language they can understand
with American cannon and machine
guns--and our objective the destruc-
tion Of their state, both European and
Asiatic.
War should always be deemed last
resort, but in this case it is the only
course. If the true state Of the case
Is presented to the men who formed
our fighting force in the recent war
enough of them would volunteer for
this work, and we have the necessary
supplies and ships.

The Near East Negotiations

Inc trst hitch in the negotiations
at Mudania occurred over Creek
evacuation of eastern Thrace. The
iurks have accepted ain principle"
the Allied offer Of September %
last, which included the restoration
to Turkey of Thrace as far west as
the line of the Martha River in
cludIng Adrianople. This territory
west from the Chatalja lines. is oe-
cupled by Greek troops and is under
Greek administration, the Venizelos
government having occupied it in
1920 with the tacit assent Of the
major Allied powers.
How are the Greeks to be ousted ?
The new revolutionary government
at Athens has been talking of a re-
vlval of Greek national spirit, new
call to arms and the retention Of
lhrace by force. Venizelos. who
has been asked to represent the reyo-
lutionary ministry in London and
Paris, is wiser than the enthusiasts
at Athens. He knows that Greece
must pay-and pay heavily-for the
Constantine fasco.
Under Tino Greece engaged in
war with Turkey against the pro-
tests of the Allied powers. She
turned her back on them and set up
for herself. She was completely de-
feated in the field and driven from
Asia Minor. She could not now
hope to hold Thrace against the VIC
torious Turks. But Allied occupa-
ton of Constantinoplc and the
Straits has been a bar to Ilen,al's
passage into Europe. The Allies do
not want to have the Asian cam
paign renewed in Thrace. There
fore they have promised Kcnaal to
secure him possession df Thrace
west to the Martha if he will re-
frain from crossing the Straits.
The Greek representatives at Mu.
dania have objected to this settle
ment; but Athens will hardly risk
taking on both the Turks and the
Allies in a fight to hold eastern
Thrace. That would be hopeless,
for the Turks can defeat Greece's
armies on land and the Allied fleets
can blockade Greek ports. it is un-
pleasant to pay up after having
gambled away a great inheritance.
Yet that is what Greece allowed

Constantine to do with the acquisi-
tions which came to her through
Fenizelos.
So far as Turkey and the Allies
are concerned the Turco-G -Grecian
War can easily be liquidated, The
loser will foot the bill. 1t is COM
plete nisconception that Great Brit
ain at Chanak is working to keep the
Turk out of Europe. She has been
guarding the Straits and at the
same time preparing to reintroduce
the Turk into Thrace without fur
ther useless conflict between Turks
and Greeks,

What capital turned back 10 the sea
still resisted the idea of steam's TAX

did not resist held that sidewheels
were superior to screws for uropelling
ocean-going vessels. In 1866 the United
States was actually attempting to com

was preaching the adoption of triple

knot sea speed. And in 1S43, twenty
three years previously, it had been an
American warship, the Princeton sloop,
that had shown the world the appli-

In 1854 the policy Of substituting
mail steamships was revived. Under
treaty with Brazil the United States
granted s250,ooo year and the South
American republic s15o,000 year to

and Rio de Janeiro. This line lasted
eleven years. 1t simply couldn't be

Iron Ships of England

The follotUing is the si1tE INSTALL
ment of Mr.. Meloney's story of our
merchant marine.
During the decade of fierce compe-
tition on the North Atlantic brought
to close by the Civil War the British
had definitely turned to iron as =
cheaper material Of construction than
wood. They had at last been com
PEELED to realize that their one hope
of .regaining supremacy on the seas
lay in upsetting the economic advan-
tage that the United States possessed
in producing wooden vessel property.
So in those years England was learn
ing to build iron ships, learning to get
into them line by line something of the
fneness and beauty of the American
pine hulls, overcoming a myriad Of
difficulties, training workmen, acquir-
ing craft, even as we have come to do
since 1914. Perhaps most important
of all, she was developing the marine
engine and applying screw propulsion.
Anerica's Wooden She'll
1t is commonly popular belief that
it was the Civil War that dealt Amer
lean shipping the blow from which it
has never recovered. That is not so.
1t was the change from wood to iron
and later to steel and the unprepared-
ness of this country for that change.
Upon the declaration of peace the
American merchant marine had SHRINK
more than one half-to be exact, SO
per cent--but not through physical de-
struction. Great Britain had pur-
chased 801,311 tons, other flags had
absorbed practically half that amount,
the War Department 757,611 tons and
the Navy Department 215,97S tons. The
Confederate commerce destroyers sank
only 104,605 tons. Yet during the four
year war period the shipbuilding in
dustry had declined in an even greater
proportion. 1t was no more than "a
she'll, and wooden she'll at that. in
1855. American iron ship products
were about as shapely as boilers. We
were the veriest tyros in working the
metal.
In the mean time big units of capi
tai that had been derived from mari
time interests, realizing that the day

No outlay Transit

4 ne assertion CT Commissioner
Whalen that the railroad interests
brought about the injunction issued
by Justice Muilan against the opera.
ton Of bus lines by the city is non
sense. The bus lines were enjoined
because they were being operated
without sanction Of law. The citi-
zens to whom many Of these lines
were a great convenience are de-
nrlved of them because Mayor Hy-
Ian did not take the trouble to Sc
cure the consent OF, the Legislature
before establishing them.
Although the Mayor is a lawyer
and has been on the bench, he pro-
ceaded with these bus enterprises
with utter disregard of the law. H.
must have known as we'll as any one
that the city's right to engage in
such business was questionable. He
must have been assured when he firss
began advocating buses as a SUBJ
stitute for surface lines that his plan
could never succeed until the city
was authorized by the Legislature
to put it into execution.
He did, it is true, go to Albany to
ash, for authority to operate the
lines. But instead of requesting per
mission to make few tentative ex-
periments, in order to determine
whether buses were practicable, he
insisted Oh a bus system that covered
the whole city. When this was re-
fused he proceeded calmly to go
ahead with the scheme, making his
appeal to little gatherings of per-
sonal admirers, and apparently re-
garding their approval as authori-
tative as if it had been given by the
Senate and Assembly.
Naturally, Justice Mullan, finding
no legislative sanction for the spend
ing Of city money in a transit enter
prise of this sort, has forbidden the
further use of the buses. He could
not do otherwise. The powers of a
Judge are as limited by the law as
those Of Mayor.
For a time many persons who
have used the bus lines will suffer
hardship. This is particularly true
in districts where buses have sup
planted trolley lines that have been
removed, as in the case of CITY ISL
and. But they have no grievance
against the courts and no right to
assert that railroad interests" have
left them without transit. Had
Mayor Hylan been content to pro-
ceed within the law such lines as
these would still be legally operated.
His determination to establish
Dusses everywhere, and by their use
to destroy the value of surface line
franchises, and, as he expressed it.
to make junk" of the surface prop
critics, is the cause of the disaster
that has befallen the entire bus svs-
tenn.
Exactly what has happened in the
case of the busses would be bound to
happen to the elaborate transit
scheme the Mayor has worked out
and now proposes as substitute for
the plan of the Transit Commits
SION. Possibly the lesson he has re-
celved from the issuance of Justice
Mullan's injunction will persuade
him to abandon this fantastic enter
PRISE. Yet, it must be remembered.
MI Hylan is slow to learn.

Branch Banks

gates at the great parliament Of
bankers at the Hotel Commodore
discussed the merits Of branch
banking. A repercussion of the
fears against concentrated money
control which led Andrew Jackson
to destroy the Bank of the United
States nearly century ago was felt
on the floor of the American Bank
ers' Association convention. Alarm
lest the association be committed
to sponsoring the establishment of
a network of banks throughout the
nation brought country and city
fnanciers in unprecedentedly large
numbers to. protest against the
justification Of the. commercial
bank.
Profound feeling won sweep
ing victory in the form of reso-
luton condemning branch banking
in any form whatsoever. The adop-
ton of statement Of principle
provides no ultimate solution of the
problem. The state banks vastly
outnumber national banks in the
association and the view. of the
executives of the forMer prevailed.
With those who hold that the
scattering of branches all through
the country by a few large banks
may be socially dangerous The
Tribune is disinclined to debate. Il
is a nice question whether the gains
to the people in service would ius-
tify the adoption of branch banking
on the British or Canadian scale.
Great Britain is served by only
thlrty-nine banks, with $500
branches. The British scheme has
yielded efficient financing, but
America has deliberately chosen
another plan.
The disadvantages of 10000 in
dependent American banks scat
tered and decentralized have been
to a large extent Offset by the CO.
ordinating function of the Fed
eral Reserve system and by the
more informal scheme of corre-
spondence which links up banks of
various cities. No need for a sys-
tenn which would permit New
York bank, for example, to open
branches in other cities has been
demonstrated, and although such
an innovation would bring possible
advantages the experiment might
be at too great cost, in building
up vast engines of finance more
powerful than government itself.
In so far as the majority of the del
egates opposed the disappearance
Of the independent banker their in
stinct was sound. America has
been built up to marked degree
by the initiative and imagination of
the local financier, who should not
be supplanted by clerks powerless
to make decisions without the ap-
proval of absentee directors or of
iicers hundreds Of miles away.
But to the unqualified "disap-
proval Of and opposition to branch
banking in any form by state or
national banks in our nation" The
Tribune cannot subscribe. In sew
cnteen states the law specifically
permits state banking institutions
to open branches, in sixteen the
law forbids the opening of branches
and IN the other fifteen no law
covers the question, but branches
have been established within thei.
jurisdictions. Moreover, the Fed
oral Reserve act authorizes the for
nation of branches in foreign coun-
tries by national banks. The reso-
luton adopted by the America,
Bankers Association-not without
the violent protest of national
oankers-would acnd To outla,y
