HARDING IS THE LEADER

II"'"ibFNI fiARl'lN'' made 1t easy for
the timid congressman afraid of the little
navy vote of the Middle West TO vote for an
adequate sea force
These Congressman. along with the men
who really believe that It Is waste Of
money to maintain navy. had been urging
that there be only G7.OOO enlisted men in
the interest of economy. The timid men
were afraid that if they voted for II larger
navy they would be attacked at home
But the President wrote to Representative
l.onSworth that it would be mistake at
the present time 10 reduce the navy below
IN" limit agreed upon at the Washington
Conference. lie admitted that It was ur
to Congress to net. and he expressed the
hope that the time might come when the
enlisted force could be reduced below the
$4,000 limit set by the experts of the Navy
Department as the lowest consistent with
safety.
After the letter was read in tho House
on Saturday the $4,000 navy was voted for
by large majority. II any man who sup
ported the bill is challenged he can now say
that hc followed the lead of the President,
who is supposed to know more about the
international situation than any Congress
man. and he can also say that he agrees
with the President on the wisdom of the
policy Of disarmins gradually rather than
prccipitatey and disarming by International
agreement rather than without consideration
of what the other nations are doing.
While the Presidents letter was con-
ciaiory, thcrc was not member of the
House who was unaware of the prevailing
impression that the little navy bill would
h" vetoed il it were passed. So they knew
that bacl, of the conciliatory words was Il
definite and consistent purpose to carry out
the policy agreed upon when tho delegates
of foreign nations gathered in Washington
to talk about disarmament. Tho United
states took the lead and laid down the ratio
of armament for the three nations interested
in Pacific problems. That ratio was the
lowest consistent with the preservation Of
peace in the Pacific.
The Presidents assertion Of his leadership
is none the less effective because it was
mnde tactfully. 1t is reassuring to those
who are looking with some trcpdation on
the attitude of Congress toward other mat
tors before it, But events are proving that
the President has II better understanding
than Congress of what the people want.
The recent defeat for denomination of two
Illinois Congressman who voted for the
Bonus Bill which the President and Sccre-
tary Mellon condemned is likely to make
Congress think twice before il again re-
iects advice from The Executive Department

OUR DRY NAVY IN ACTION

HyHE first shot from an American naval
i craft has been fired at a rum ship in
the lane leading to New York harhor The
Mehalatos. Il patrol vessel Of the sub
chaser type, did the firing. The shell was
blank. But another sort ot ammunition
will surely be used sooner or later and a
rum runner will be sunk or damaged. and
then thcr" will he trouble if way ism
found TO restrict wholesale smuggling
through some sort of agreement with the
authorities at the sources Of the contraband
whisky supply.
Confessions such as that just issued by
Morris Hertz. bootlegcer, from his cell in
the Camden jail aren't needed To convince
any one with eyes and ears that smuggling
has been revived as Il llouriShing business
which returns enormous profits to an ad-
venturcr with more nerve than conscience.
And it is true that rum ships flying foreign
flags do II humping business just beyond the
three mile limit.
The seas arc supposed to he free. Prop
erly the American authorities will have TO
catch the smaller craft that ply between the
rum runners and the shore in the area of
what might bc called dry waters. Here.
then. rises fine new question which may
lead to international complications. We
might ring mp Genoa about ii. But Genoa
wouldn't listen. II is far too busy even

THE VAGROM CONDOR

WHAT story about condor swooping down
i on It peasants baby in III" Swiss Alps
aud carrying it of. only ~ hr killed by the
father who went in pursuit. reads like tho
kind of stories that th" Imaginativ" re-
porter Of Winstcd. Conn. used 10 send out
t" he delight Of the SOPHISTICATED.
Tn" condor in TIA" first place. is Il South
American bird. The probability that one
should be found in Switzerland j. SO remote
that proof Of it is needed before it can hc
believed In the second place. m" condor
of III" Swiss story had a spread Of wing OF
seventeen feet and five inches. Th" books say
that the expanse Of wing Of the bird varies
from eight feet and six inches to ten feet
and six inches. and that it is improbable
that any specimens exist with Il spread
greater than twclV" feet.
Yet il is not impossible that n condor
should be in the Alps. Th" bird can live
for days without food. II can soar in the
air for hours without Tapping lis wings. II
is possible that Il bird caught IN an upper
air current was carried across the oroan and
rs far inlnnd as III" high peaks Of Switzer-
land. II So. it will not br th" first time
that III" great South American vultlr" has

AN INDEX OF PUBLIC SENTIMENT

TNlIE torrent OF applause which swept

the need of American participation in II co.

OF forid partlsanShip.
Neither Mr.. McCormirk. who was At

of Nations. nor Mr.. Borah has yet charged
that the benches We're packed with grace
less Democrats. Mr. Borah indeed. could
not logically make such contention. since
he recently confessed that the League has
--ceased to be partisan issue.

1920. as they apply to the largest urban
community on the Continent, reveals some
extraordinary facts.
There are. for example. more Italians in
New York than in any city in Italy. The
total is SO2.S93. which exceeds the figure
for Naples by more than 100000.
AS Russian metropolis New York Is
surpassed by Petrograd and Moscow, but
given few more years Of immigration and
that superiority will be lost. since the Rus
slams within the limits of Greater New
York now number more than 004 900.
No city in Ireland. neither Belfast nor
Dublin. is as populous as the 1Tibernian
cnclavc in Gotham. in which more than
631.OO0 inhabitants have been counted
The Germans and Austro Hungarians
amount to more than I .OOO. 900.
Compared with these huge totals, the in.
crease Of native whites of native parcntage
is strikingly smal--2l3, ,516 in the decade
between 1910 and 1920. The gain is too
insignificant to deprive New York of its
priority as the foremost foreign city of the
