Sims and Politics
The Time Was Not Right" for the
Senate to Honor Him

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; 1t is pity that the writer of
the lettcr on Admiral Sims in The Trih-
unc OF January 3 saw fit TO sign himself
only Square Deal" Surely there
need be nothing anonymous about q
citizen demanding for the Admiral the
thing which he so obviously has not
had.
One impression of Square Deals is,
| am sure, not a correct one. He at
tributes the lack Of proper action by
Congress to accidental adiourhmcnt.'
Exceptionally we'll informed friends. in
and out of Washington, are positivc in
saying TO nc that the failure was
wholly political one
A poll of the Senate showed tha. A
large majority favored making Sims an
admiral for life. While the measure
vas still pending, however, the Admiral
delivered an address upon naval strategy.
As is we'll known. he cares not at sll
for politics. In the course of his ad
dress he declared that it would be a
wise policy to 90 away with small naval
stations on the Atlantic Coast and cor
ccntratc upon one or two. surpestino
that these be built on Narraganscttt or
on Chesapeake Bay
This idea was not a new one nor
was 1t very radical one. Yet it was
at once seized upon by the Senators
from all the states concerned as an at
TACK upon such navy yards az Ports
mouth, n. H.; Boston, Charleston. S. c..
and others. The day after that ad
Dress Senators were far too worried
over the votes Of navy yard workmcn
10 dream of making Sims an admiral.
III other words, the Senate made the
usual sectional analysis Of national
question. The Senator from New, .Ier-
sey, Mr. Frelinghuysen, in reply to an
inquiry on the subject some months
later, Informed me that "thc time was
not right! If this phrase means any
thing at all it means that politics. no
matter what tho Administration. can
not face the truth.
hope that The Tribune. vh;ch ,o,c
ago appreciated Admiral Sims's service
TO his country and which has consist
emily reproved the Irish Americans and
other hyphenates who have sought n
ociame HIM, will use its influence to
procure for Square Deal" and sfor
thosc who heartily agree with him an
answer which will remove verv deh-
r:te stain from our national bonor

First Citizen-W Well, what do you
think of the Washington conference? Z?
Second Ctizen-The Washington
conference. IIa-ha ha, What do I
think of it! That's good. What do
think Of it?
First Citizcn-Ycs, what DO you think
ot it?
Second Citizen-Why, think it's the
biggest joke that ever was cracked.
FIRST Citizen (perturbed) oh, do
You?
Second Citizen-What else is it? !
ask you, what else is it? Scrapping the
battleships. Ha-ha-ha.
First Citizen (anxious But they
have agreed to scrap them, haven't
they?
Second Citizen-Agreed? Of course
they've "agreed'! Oh, how they can fool
you fellows
First Citizen-Aren't they really 60
ing to scrap them then?
Second Citizen-They certainly are!
Make no mistake about that! They
are! Why, see here! Don't you know
the facts? Don't you know that they'd
all come to the conclusion six months
ago that the battleships are no earthly
use any more? Don't You know that
the whole thing was England's idea Z?
Don't you know that she sent over here
and said she was ready to sink the lot,
and then Harding got up the Wash
ington conference to "scrap the bat
tleships"! Oh, it's joke.
First Citizen-Yes, but
Second Citizen--Yes, but! They get
rid Of something they have to get rid
of anyway, and then tell all you in
nocent, trusting fellows it's disarma-
ment, it's permanent peace.
First Citizen--Oh, but they didn't tell
US that! Don't you remember how
Hughes came out and said we mustn't
call it disarmament conference?
Second Citizen-You don't mean to
say you believed him? You don't mean
to say you haven't learned by this time
that when politician says he means
thing, he must mean just the o.
posite?
First Citizen-Well, but if the battle
ships are no use, why isn't it a good
idea to get rid of them?
Second Citizen-There's nothing ycrv

Stamps for All the Year

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Why buy the Christmas tuber
culosis stamps only during the holiday
season, when the money is needed for
one OF the most important charities in
our country"
The stamps are extremely useful in
fastening down envelopes that will not
stick. And there is 10 reason WHY
Santa Claus and the Christmas spirit
should not go on with us through the
year. This tired, perplexed, worried
old world of ours surely needs it.
The cost is so little--one cent y
stamp-and the stamps are not only
helpful to us who use them but OF ines
timable value in the good the money
will do toward the prevention and cure
OF one OF the most terrible Of plaques.
So let's carry on this part of Christ
mas through the year. r. X. II.

Second Citizsn-"The reach should

time.
First Citizen-But shouldn't you
ever grasp anything just keep on

Second Citizen-You should never DO

that's what we mean b. ideals; that's
what we mean by progress.
first Citizen (puzz,ed)-I suppose
that's so.
Second Cit;zen--You SCI, the point is
this; everything that is, is bad.
First Citizen--Oh. no.
Second Citizen-Yessir, ard it can't
be too bad for u.s. The moment thing
is done, then its wrong. Take this CON
ference. 1t may seem queer to YOU that
the League people say it's
nothing in the world but what Wilson
advocated and then in the same breath
tell YOU what I've been telling you-
that it's a piece Of rotten hypocrisy
First Citizen-It does seem a little
contradictory.
Second Citlzen-But it isn't. Its the
new morality. Whatever gets done is
wrong; whatever hasn't been done and
is only talked about being done is
right. Wilson just talked about dis
armament, so he was right; Hughes
has scrapped the boats and that makes
him wrong
First Citizen-It seems pretty
strange. According to that, then, the
only people who get anything done are
the bad ones.
Second Citizen-Precisely And that's
the beauty OF the new system. That's
the inducement in the new morality.
Under the old order people always pre-
ferred to be bad because it was so easv.
but we make it easier to be good; all
You have to do to be judged noble is
just talk and take care that you never
put any of your ideas in practice.

Asking France to Pay

hateNcr may DC SAID IN taVor OF
making life easier for the Germans
the arguments for the most part
arc undsgulsed and unabashed re-
affirma.ions of pro- -Germanism and
have no more validity than the pleas
by which Germany's wanton attack
on civilization was justified.
Seven years of experience have
not developed among German apollo
gists single essentially new do
fensc idea Not even the technique
of her defenders is improved The
world beholds merely another asscr-
ton of the doctrine that Germany is
so cnvironed and circumstanced that
she is not bound by laws or princ-
pies of justice and morality which
bind other nations.
1t is charged that wicked France
10 imperalist. The Teutonic lamb
is about to be devourcd by the Galic
wolf. This was the contention of
the Kaiser at the very hour when
France had withdrawn her soldiers
ten kilomcters within the French
frontier. Similar crocodile tears
came from Hollweg's S
eyes when he hewailed the sad
necessity Of the invasion Of Belgium.
Innocent Germany. How fit is it
for her to lecture other nations on
the sin Of sword rattling
When France is not attacked as
imperialist she is assailed ON the
ground that she would economically
cripple Germany. Very bad is this
in France, With what grace does
the accusation come from the lips OF
those who saw reasons why the Ger
mans were not to be blamed for
chopping down orchard trees, for
wrechlng coal mines and for carry
ing off factory machinery.
Then there is dreadful French
hate. Intense indeed must this be
if it burns more fiercely than that Of
the German mother, now being wild
ly applauded in Germany, who re
Gently let it be known that her daily
prayer was for all her unborn chill
dren to be boys, to assist in extermi-
mating the French.
Finally appears our old and ia
miliar friend namely. that much as
she desires to do so Germany can't
pay. This is to say France can,
though her population and wealth
are so per cent less. For if there
is to be restoration some one must
pay. If Germany does not pay then
It must be France. Is prosperous
German so much more beneficial to
the world than a prosperous French
man that the Frenchman should be
asked to rebuild the house that the
German destroyed?
The new German propaganda is
not likely 10 succeed 1t is energetic.
but is not convincing. The first
items on the agenda Of any confer
ence for Europe's stabilization must
needs be arrangements for the Sc
curity Of France and action that will
disabuse the Germans of the idea
that they can whine off and place
the restoration burden on France.
After more than three years of
delay II Is agreeable to note that at
last the European powers concede
the first point. Perhaps in time
they will also see that to encourage
Germany in false hopes postpones
reconstruction.
