Bolshevist Promises

The latest Allied note to the snick-
ering Tchitcherin reiterates that So
victry, before it is recognized, must
agree to pay its debts, indemnify
foreigners who have suffered dam
ages and restore confscated prop
erty.
SO far as It goes the program is
well enough. But it does not go very
far. Sovietry can promise all these
things, as it is reported its repre-
sentatives viii do. and yet little be
achieved in the way Of Russian re-
construction. The Bolshevist power
VIII remain. and it will continue. un-
less it bellies its record, to make Rus
sia land of starvation and misery
which can pay nothing to anybody or
/ have whereWithal to trade.
The first step in any program for
Russias betterment is the removal
of the cause Of the disease. 1nas-
much as the Soviet power will be
strengthened by recognition, the
Genoa conference, by engineering
recognition, will not help Russia, tie
real Russia, but shove her another
step into the abyss. Lenine & Co.
must go and regime bringing in
freedom Of the press, of assemblage
and elections must come before Rus
sian regeneration can start. None
except perhaps few venturesome
spectators will trust a country
which Bolshevism controls.
The notion that Lenine will revo-
lutionize his policy is preposterous.
His crowd won't let him. They love
power quite as much as did the Car
and the former Russian grand dukes.
and they know no way to keep power
save TO shoot down their adversaries.
If the Genoa conference has done
any good it is in exposing the fact
that the controlling Bolshevist group
has not reformed and has no desire
to reform.
Ask the delegates at Genoa wheth-
er they would invest their own
money where Lenine can confscate
It if the mood strikes him so to do.
Their answer would be practically
unanimous that other offered invest
ments were better. But collectively
these delegates seem willing to ad-
wise others to take risks that individ-
ually they would not carry. 1t is
this sort of buncombe that makes
Americans glad their country stayed
away from Genoa.
New-York tribune., 1922-04-27
Plenty Of Rope

In readvertsing the bids for the
completion Of the Fourteenth Street
subway the Transit Commission puts
responsibility for fifteen months dc
lay-at $1,000 a day expense to the
city-squarely up TO the Board of
| Estimate.
The board, although warned by the
/ Governor thai drastic action would
be taken if it did not cease obstruct-
ing, sent the contracts back to the
commission. Before that, to repeat
familiar tale, it had held them for
more than year, neither approving
nor rejecting them, and not deigning
to give any explanation of its failure
TO act
Meanwhile link that should
connect Manhattan with the East
ern District cannot be started.
An elevated extension which would
relieve intolcrable congestion Of
Brooklyn traffic is held up indefnte-
~. And all because Mr.. Hylan and
( his associates do not know how to
solve the traffic tangle and are un-
willing that any one else should do it,
Nor is this the only transit hold
up. Contracts by the dozen for other
necessary wotk-all planned long
ago-remain in the boards posses
sion, It declines to make any explana-
ton Of its failure to act upon them.
This is specifically the sort of thing
which the Governor declared might
call for drastic action. 1t is an AFRO
giant refusal to perform duties which
the law definitely instructs the
Board Of Estimate to perform. 1t
continues a state Of affairs which is
a constant and increasing incon-
Venience to the public. Such course
is incredibly stupid, but the Board
Of Estimate has chosen to take it.
Apparently it is the purpose of the
N'ON VI l4Nl anu VI tlC IId1lSlb 1Oll-
mission TO give it plenty of rope,
But there is limit to patience. If
the Board Of Estimate elects to chal-
lenge action by the Governor it will
have nothing but its own obstinacy
to blame.
Perhaps the quickest way to set
tie the whole thing would be for the
board to persist in its present policy
till its members are removed. That
would not be pleasant to the individ-
uals who compose it, but the public
has stopped troubling itself about
their private feelings. What it wants
is more subways, and it will be
grateful to the Governor or to any
one else who can remove obstacles to
their immediate construction.

Economic Participate

Mr.. Harding refused to send
delegates to the Genoa conference,
but he approved the mission Of Gov
ornor Strong, who goes to London
to attend meeting Of representa-
tives Of the big European banks of
Issue called to discuss currency re-
form and stabilization. The Presi-
dent prefers concrete action to vague
oratory and the manufacture Of in
definite programs.
he European nations themselves
IN the main must restore their indi-
yIdual economic stability. But Gov
ernor Strong's appointment implies
some measure of participation in
constructive economic cooperation
on the part Of the United States.
it IS practical, not visionary Mr..
Strong represents merely the Fed
eral Reserve banks, not the Ameri-
can government. He attends a
meeting composed not Of political
representatives Of foreign govern
ments, but Of the heads Of financial
institutions. He will discuss ques-
tlons Of currency reform and not of
international politics.
Following the announcement that
Mr. Morgan is to discuss an inter-
national loan to Germany. and taken
N conjunction with the e-emphasis
OF the Department of States desire
TO keep in close touch with private
loans TO foreign nations, the Strong
mission Indicates that the Admins
tration has adopted the policy Of
encouraging private assistance to
European nations under government
supervision, instead of direct gov
ernmental participation.
Il am perfectly well aware" said
Mr.. Hoover in October, 1921. that
we should not interest ourselves as
q government in stabilizing the
budgets and establishing sound cur
rencies in foreign countries. but
unless our commercial community is
willing in some way to interest itself
III the countries struggling with
fiscal and financial problems we
must expect TO pay many thousand
fold in the loss Of export markets
and in the employment of our
people -
To-day the administration has
gone even further. 1t is now ac
lively encouraging the commercial
community" to interest itself in the
economic reconstruction of Europe.
If, as result, practical plans are
devised TO rid Europe Of crazy cur
rency there is every reason 10 be-
lieve that they will have the support
OF the Administration. That kind Of
participation, on strictly business
basis, will be, one may predict, Of
greater value TO this country and TO
Europe than years Of discussion of
European politics. The American

the situation had passed the danger
point. They deliberately lulled the
public into a sense Of false security
in the hope Of forcing the miners
into open resistance, thus bringing
IN the government on the side Of the
operators.
To-day there seems to be a similar
movement to render the public apa-
thetic. Two things alone can arouse
It. One is an actual coal famine.
The other is government leadership
in settling the strike. The "oppor-
tune time for the administration to
act is now.

One Excuse Proved Idle

In accounting for the crime wave
when he finally admitted that
one cxisted-Mr. Enright announced
that most Of the criminals we're first
offenders, unknown to the police, and
therefore difficult to trace to their
lairs.
It was more difficult to identify
them because their portraits were
not in his collection nor their habits
known to his detectives Further
more, few Judges could be found who
we're willing to send first offenders
70 prison for extended terms. That
lessened The criminals terror of the
law.
l But now that District ATTORNEY
8anton has all The help he needs for
work IN The courtroom he is send
ing SECOND offenders and third of
tenders and eighth and ninth offend
ers 70 The penitentiery by the dozens.
Thus is Mr.. Enright deprived of
one of his best little excuses. He
may in time think up more excuses.
but that is not so likely now that he
has been told that if he doesn't clean
up the crime wave he may not be in
Office so very much longer.
New-York tribune., 1922-04-27
Now

According to Washington dis
patches. a scheme has been devised
to settle the strike and place the coal
industry upon a proper basis. But
the psychological moment or "a
favorable opportunity" is awaited to
put it into effect In the mean time,
II appears, nothing Will be done.
What is the Administrations con
csption Of timeliness? Won't action
be opportune until the public. finally
aroused by the discomforts resulting
from inaction, forces the govern
ment 10 interfere? Must there be nc
settlement unal conditions are
acute? A strange doctrine,
The public is being methodically
Iulled into apathy by The declarations
OF the coal merchants that sufficient
stocks are on hand ard by the policy
ii Washington Of declining to admit
the existence of an emergency. Even
the miners seem apparently willing
TO have the strike prolonged and TO
be Indifferent TO the ignorance of the
public. The recent survey by The
Associated Press showing plenr:ful
supplies Of coal in different impor-
tant centers is hailed by all alike as
proof that Immediate action is un-
necessary.
All who seek delays overlook the
further time which VIII necessarily
be consumed after negotiations be
gin. However perfect the Admins
tration's plans, il is impossible to
avoid many delays following It's in
jtial public step. Neither side is go
ing TO make concessions willingly.
Whatever the plan, both sides viii
haggle over mary Of its details.
Thus, even after the settlement has
commenced, probably weeks will
elapse before anything is achieved.
in 1902 the operators persisted in
denying a coal shortage long after

Abundance of Capital

There IS plenty of money in New
York-and in the whole country, for
that matter-for sound investments
New York City bonds. which will
yield only III per cent, were quickly
disposed of 20 the amount Of $45,-
100000. This is abundant proof that
there is no present shortage Of capi-
tai in the country.
Also it is an indication of restored
confidence. If city bonds are so
readily taken. any sound business
enterprise will speedily find what
funds il requires. All investors want
IS To be sure that their capital will
be secure.
This news, following that Of the
return Of several of the Liberty
bond issues TO par, is reassuring
The overconidcnce Immediately after
tho war bred timidity later and
money went into hiding.
It is now coming forth and look
Ing about for an opportunity to get
into action. Naturally the credit of
e city Of 100000 people is sub
stantlal enough to warrant invest
lnont in its securities. But there
are numerous commercial as we'll as
municipal state and government in
stitutions which will find in the i'm
mediate future that capital is ready
to 70 TO work, and when money goes
to work the end Of unemployment is
at hand.

Republicans 8 Tariff Views

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The writer, who has long eub.
scrbed to and faithfully supported the
tenets Of the Republican party, is seri-
ously questioning whether or not the
Republican party stands for that nro.
gresslve statesmanship and sanity in
legislation that has been so loudly pro-
claimed. The Fordney McCumbec tariff
and the bonus bills are symptoms Of
good Judgment running wild.
AS business man l am Of the opin-
ION that the proposed tariff lesjs-
lation Will prove extremely hurt
iul to the country. Industry in this
country, In order to thrive, must have
foreign markets, and instead Of maxine
imports prohibitive we should encour-
age them for our own ADVANTAGE.
Without doubt tho consumer will
pay the tariff increases. That course
already has been indicated all along
the line by American manufacturers
1t cannot be otherwise. The working
man, having TO pay more, will want
and VIII get increased wages. This will
bring about the same old imitation
which 1t was found so desirable TO
get away from.
If tariff bill Is considered so necss-
sary by reason Of deprecated foreign
currencies would it not be sensible to
impose tariff TO be levied on goods
brought from the countries where the
currency is below normal to a degree
that will offset such discrepancy?

Daylight Saving SUGGESTION

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
SIT: Having noted the arguments pro
and con on daylight saving, realizing
that the farmer gets his harvesting
done during the first Of July and his
early and late work completed for the
year by this time, that the evenings
are late enough up TIL then and that
the long evenings are really enjoyed
most during July August and Septem-
ber, wish TO make the following sug-
gestion:
That Congress pass law that the
daylight saving period shall be from
the second Sunday in July until the
second Sunday in October"
