contributed more to the nationwide
nervousness expressed in the phrases
Lets so somewhere" and Lets do
something" than any other single
factor except the war. What If this
should increase the range of the
banditti, heretofore limited by the
short days journey of a horse or
mule? Might it not enable rebels of
the north to "f1iv" to the aid Of
rebels in the south, so far away that
it would take week to reach them
by horseback?
Being a practical man, Mr.. Ford
also purposes to open schools for
farmers, that they may know the use
of his tractors and mechanical farm
implements. In this way will the
farmers learn how to raise large
crops and make big money with
which to buy new tractors to use in
raising new crops to buy new Fords,
and so on dd infnitum.
Mr.. Ford shows charming con-
fidence in human nature and believes
in the civilizing influence of buying
his products.

German Payment in Land

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Germany has repeatedly as
serted that she is financially unable to
pay the reparation debt to France. If
this is true, France has been deprived
Of her indemnity at the same time
that she has failed of the security
which she was assured England and
the United States would provide
against future aggression.
1t is common happening to sell
the real estate. of citizen who has
done no wrong but has missed his
business calculations and is otherwise
unable to pay the claims against him.
There is no essential difference be-
tween citizen and a state in that re-
gard, and Germany ought to pay in land
If she cannot pay otherwise.
1t ought not to be forgotten that
toward the end of the war Germany
boasted that the damage she would do
would be SO great that it would be
impossible ever to collect its
equivalent from her.
If there were no other reason for
awarding all the land west of the
Rhine to France, there would be suf-
ficient ground for such an act in the
punishment of Germany for the crimi-
nal manner in which she conducted the
war. The safety of France is bound
up in the Rhine boundary. 1t is not
too late to give France the assurance
of peace that such solution Of the
problem would bestow.
Next to France itself, this solution
Of the reparation problem is of vital
interest to England and the United
States. 1t is outrageous to turn over
to coming generations an unprotected
France and to compel the sacrifice of
other thousands to make good the
folly of the peace parley

What Readers Sau
What More of Herrin9
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The massacre at Herrin, ILL.,,
took place over month ago. At that
time the press united In denouncing
this outrage, but the matter appears
to have been dropped from the daily
columns.
A coroner's jury placed the
blame on crippled mine superin-
tendent, who was shot down in cold
blood after having surrendered. So
far as I know not an arrest has been
made. The superintendent is the only
one indicted, and he is beyond arrest.
There are many lovers Of law and
order who want to know who is re-
sponsible for this tragedy. They feel
that important information has been
withheld.
If the state authorities have not the
courage or inclination to carry this
matter to its logical conclusion is It
not the duty of the Federal authorities
to see that justice is done?

enforcement of our laws must not be
modified by the threat of the ballot.

Unofficial Diplomats

The hotels of London and Paris
are thronged with American guests
SO the nations are brought together.
Their diplomatic representatives
meet one another on guard. The
unofficial representatives, on bust
ness or pleasure, abandon reserve
and talk frankly about questions
that no envoy would dare mention.
The result is better mutual under
standing and discovery that diff
ferent peoples are much alike after
all. Friendships built on British
golf courses and on French boule-
wards are the sort of friendships
that all nations need.
The presence of thousands of
Americans in England and France
means that they are consciously or
unconsciously selling" this country
to Europe and that they are at the
same time buying Europe. Our
peace and comradeship with Canada
are due largely to the fact that the
people of both countries have long
freely intermingled and know each
other so well that the idea of a
fortress on the frontier seems non
sensical.

Flivvervention

"Let me invade Mexico." is the
cry of Henry Ford. His pacific
imagination envisages focks of f1iv-
vers chugging into the southern re-
public. Accustomed for generations
to jog about on skinny bronchos, the
Mexicans will, on sight of the fiv-
vers, be moved with a desire for
possession. Exploiting this desire,
Henry will offer each a job in his
factory. Behold peace in Mexico!
Even though Of the making of
f1ivvers there be no end, is it not con-
ceivable that by increasing the mo-
tive power of the Mexicans he will
be increasing their restlessness? 1t
is notorious fact that the Ford has

Assertions Are Not Facts

In letter to The Tribune, printed
yesterday, Mr.. Hylan repeats that
Police Commissioner Enright is per-
secuted by the gamblers and the
underworld and that food profteers
would make a victim of Commits
sioner of Markets O'Malley. Both
the underworld and the food profit
eers, he asserts, are aided by the
newspapers.
These are not facts, but are un-
supported and unverihed assertions.
Mr.. Hylan submits no shadow of
proof Of his allegation that before
Mr.. Enright took over the Police De-
partment it was run in the interests
of the underworld. AS matter of
fact, it was never more. ably, hon.
estly and courageously conducted
than when Commissioner Woods was
at the head of it.
His assertion that Commissioner
O'Malley is having terrific battle
with the food prohteers is no answer
TO the definite charge against Mr.,
O'Malley recently made by the law
yer Of the pushcart peddlers. He
declared in open court that O'Mal-
ley's men had collected 100000 from
his clients in the last six months and
had failed to account for it. The
City Hall lawyer assigned to attend
the hearing entered no denial.
If Mr.. Hylan will supply The Trib-
une with any proof whatever that
gamblers are trying to ruin his Po-
lice Commissioner or food profiteers
are seeking to destroy his Commits
sioner of Markets the proof will
gladly be printed. That the Mayor
offers no shred of evidence sufi-
GENTLY shows he has nothing to offer.

A Needed Warning

The orthodoxy of Senator Wads-
worth as a protectionist no person
will challenge. Nor will any one
question the sincerity of his concern
for agricultural welfare. This con-
Germ is an inheritance with him,
coming down from his honored
father, long the chairman Of the
House Committee on Agriculture.
Nor will any one charge that he is a
public man prone to insurgency.
It means something, then, when
Senator Wadsworth, after mature
consideration and carefully weighing
his words, talks as he does of the
wool schedule of the pending Ford
ney- Nc Cumber tariff bill. Speaking
as the representative of the coun-
'try's greatest manufacturing state,
IS man who is specially interested
in agricultural problems and as a
party man with great liking for
regularity, he gives timely and
needed warning.
A large number Of established
American industries are threatened
by the Fordney- McCumber bill. Men
employed in these. industries are in
danger of joblessness. The agricul-
tural interest, by supporting wool
schedule which may be pleasing to
Utah sheep raisers but to few
others, runs the risk of toppling the
whole protecticnist system. The Re-
publican party, which will be held
responsible should the bill as now
written go through, confronts the
certainty Of great loss of support.
Senator Wadsworth is to be con-
graduated or saying these things
out loud. Long enough has the idea
prevailed that the bill is so palpably
absurd that there is no likelihood
of it's passage. The "bloc" Senators
have developed pork -barreling into
a fine art. They have perfected an
organization Of scattered special in
terests that is most formidable. Not
by inaction can their plans be de-
feated.
AS The Tribune has pointed out
there is no good reason for the i'm
mediate passage of permanent
tariff act. The platform on which
President Harding was elected doe!
not pledge such action; on the con
trary, fairly construed, it pledges
the reverse. International trade
conditions are still most confused
Wage scales and production costs
abroad have not yet become normal
No one knows, or can know, what
measure of protection should be pro
vided.
President Harding is engrossec
with all kinds of pressing business;
but he may we'll find time to inter.
vene to prevent colossal blunder.

China and Japan

Europe and the British Empire are
not alone in seeing the handwriting OF
the wall. Even Siam is developing
aviation. Japan is feverishly active
She has made such progress OF late
that the English and French aviasofs
who have been training the japanese
to fly are no longer needed. japan
has her own experts and they have I'M
proved greatly in the art.
China will soon join the world o.
aviation. One faction in the recea'
civil war bombed the gunboats OF sa'
other faction and forced them
surrender. The Chinese are so0s
aviators. AS soon as stable govern
nrent is established we may De SUE
that China, with so few railroads, VIZ
realize the great importance OF "
communication. Air power will

Beslo-Pacifsuu

On Saturday, If announced plans
are carried out, placards will be
posted bearing the words "No More
War" The idea seems to be that
when the. wireless brings Mars news
OF this advertising campaign he
will exclaim "My job is gone!" and
forthwith join Vulcan or Ceres in
doing useful work. Persons who are
regarded and who regard them
selves as Of our highest and best
citizenship have enlisted as bill
stickers.
Stephane Lauzanne recently de-
scribed H. G. Wells as bello-
pacifist-that is, as one most solici-
tous for peace but active in foment-
ing bitterness and the spirit of
strife. The term is too severe to be
applied to our placarding and notice
serving sisterhood, but nevertheless
there is warning in it. How much
does a man or woman really believe
IN cause when there is obstinate
lnslstence on the use of methods not
calculated to promote it?
Such a thing is possible as too
persistent contemplation of evil. A
man who counts up his dead COM
patriots too enthusiastically NAV he
unconsciously led, if his advice is
rejected, to have the killings con-
tlnue to vindicate him-to show how
right are his views.
There is excellent authority for
the saying that no one by taking
thought can add cubit to his stature.
May it not similarly be said that
the war habit in no wise has been
conquered by setting up hortatorv
slgnboards which proclaim or i'm
ply that war under all circum-
stances is abominable and that all
who participate in its waging are
wicked?
The obfuscation of the pacifsts
is due largely to a practice of con-
tusing the abstract and the concrete
war is not in general but ALWAYS
IN particular-there is not war. but
war. Each war, with its two par
ties, is to be judged by itself. Com
monty, one side is unrighteous and
the other is righteous. When there
is no discrimination and both are
involved in a joint condemnation the
devil laughs.
Jane Addams has repute as q
pacifist and as an ameliorator of
social conditions. In the second
named and chief phase of her ac-
tivities she has shown herself glori-
ously militant. She has been a
warrior in many wars. When vic
Tins of oppression have appealed to
her she has not coldly told then,
that they were no better than their
assailants-stood on the same moral
plane. If it be right to protect a
child when big brute raises a
heavy hand against it, it was right
for the manhood of France to pro-

The World On the VIM

The whole world now realizes
that aviation Is vital in war and
useful in peace. Business men
are flying all over Europe. Minutes
often mean millions in commerce.
The president of a great railroad in
the United States recently dined in
Paris with leading business men Of
Europe. He found that the man on
his right had come from London that
afternoon, and the man on his left
had come from Warsaw, Poland, 900
miles, that same day. He left Warsaw
at o'clock in the morning and dined
that evening in Paris.

More Truth Than Poetry
By James J. Montague
Freud in the Home

Freud in the Home
The Joneses' kid was naughty;
Unlike most little boys,
He loved to fight and scratch and
And make unlovely noise.
They took him to the doctor.
Who solemnly advised
That he'd be good, as small boys
should,
If psycho-analyzed.
A Freudian physician
Was placed in full control;
He took young Jones and quelled
his means
And probed his naughty soul.
The complexes were fathomed
That made him scratch and
bite,
"Now go to bed" the doctor said.
"And you will be all right"
The kid awoke next morning
And blacked the baby's eye,
And threw the cat directly at
A casual passerby.
And when his father begged him,
Politely, to come in,
The Freudian child with rage
grew wild
And KICKED him in the shin.
They called another doctor
To treat the little chap,
Who, much surprised, was an
alyzed--
But this time with strap.
And now he's kind and gentle,
He does not scratch or bite,
Nor tease the cat, which shows
US that
One doctor had him right.

Cool Heads

In the great short circuit of the
B. r. T. Tuesday afternoon admira-
BILE was the steady nerve of the
thousands at a standstill in the
tubes under the river. That there
was nothing like panic speaks we'll
for the collective cool-headedness of
the passengers. The worst thing in
any emergency that seems to hold
peril is to show fright, which
spreads like forest fire. An easy
lesson to preach, hard one to prac-
tice, yet the people of New York
appear to have learned it. Our sub
way travellers are game.
Remarkable, also, was the quick
dispersal of the half million home
goers without more serious acci-
dents from the traffic tangle. The
hospitals must have expected a busy
night, but as it turned out hardly an
ambulance was needed. Motor
drivers and pedestrians in tight
place seldom come to grief. Nine
tenths Of the mishaps are the result
of pure carelessness.
The 3. R. T. tie-up was an excel
lent object lesson in pass deport-
ment; the crowd could not have ac
quilted itself more commercially. It
will not be necessary for the cam
tankerous power-house switchboard
to test again the mettle of the met
ropolitans.
