Bigger Than Politics

The future Of Staten Island
depends upon the construction Of a
rapid transit tunnel under the Mar
rows, which is provided for in the
plan Of the Transit Commission.
Even with congestion as great as
it is other boroughs will have some
sort Of rapid transit. People have
to fight TO get to subway and ele-
waited platforms. it is true. They
have 20 fight for seats and even
straps in the cars. But if they are
willing to endure discomforts they
can get TO and fro in a reasonable
time.
Richmond Borough is connected
with its fellow boroughs only by
ferries, which are a slow and cum
bersome means to interborough
travel. Until these are superseded
by subwsys there is little chance for
the development Of the most beauti-
fully located Of all the residential
sections Of the greater city.
This fact is recognized by Presi-
dent Cahill Of Richmond. He rec
oEnizes also that the opposition Of
the Board Of Estimate TO the
Transit Commissions plan will. if
continued, delay the development Of
Staten Island indefinitely.
Being a man Of intelligence he
can see plainly enough that the only
purpose Of the boards impracticable
counter plans is to make it impos-
sible for the commission to institute
any measures Of relief for the
people whom he serves.
He has therefore asked the Board
Of Estimate, Of which he is a mem
Der, TO forget politics and get to-
gether with the commission in Civ
ing Richmond better transit as soon
as possible.
It is 10 be hoped that his plea will
be needed by his fellow members Of
the board. At a time when the
Mayor is hamboyantly announcing
that he will 60 to a cell rather than
authorize the payment Of the
s1.50O,000 the commission needs
for its work, a little sanity on the
board will prove useful.
The whole transit snarl could be
untangled in a little while if all the
members Of the Board Of Estimate
would stop playing politics and try
TO get new subways and tunnels
built
Mr.. Cahill deserves the gratitude

Real Leadership

President Donlin Of the Building
Trades Department Of the American
Federation Of Labor is right in as
serting that the country * tired Of
strikes and lock-outs and disgusted
with the institutions that make them
possible
There is truth in his further dec
laration that unnecessary strife in
industry is too often caused by the
irresponsible or the demagogue. II
spokesmen for the capital invested
in building trades were as frank in
confession there would be more hope
for an end Of the costly industrial
wars that continually block return
ing prosperity.
Mr.. Donlin's suggestion that a
central and national board Of labor
control. consisting Of labor leaders.
could minimize strikes and lock-outs
and help 20 fix responsibility for
them is intelligent and constructive.
The needless and often disastrous
strike usually begins as a local dis
agreement and spreads to national
size. Many Of these strikes would
never take place if the sober counsel
Of intelligent labor leaders were sub
stituted for the inhammatory utter
ances Of professional agitators.
Conspiracies among contractors
and laborers, such as took place in
New York during the reign Of Brin-
dell, would be impossible if all the
inside dealings had to be disclosed
to an intelligent central body
The Tribune is perfectly cogni-
zant that there must be two sides TO
every disagreement and assumes
that the employer is as prone to
fault as the employee. The colli-
sion Of interest between the wage
Garner and the man who hires
him is fundamentals grows out
Of human nature and never will be
wholly eradicated But this should
blind none TO the greater fact that
as TO production their interests are
identical.
Mr.. Donlin has found the best
remedy for the demagogue and
agitator evil. His colleagues in the
labor movement will vastly benefit
themselves and their cause. without
surrendering any Of the ground they
have gained, if they will only ap-
ply it.

No Communist Crusade

II there were eliminated from his
speech the statements about the mill
tary menace his argument would
pretty clearly demonstrate the wisdom
Of adopting one OF the alternatives con-
fronting the conference. which. in his
words, was 80 leave Russis 70 her
fate until she changes her govern
ment"; that is. until her form Of gov
eminent represents the individualistic
views Of % per cent Of her people.
What. then, is there in his militaristic
argument? An assiduous study Of
Soviet Russian affairs will show that
the Prime Minister'S statements as 10
the possibilities OF the military situa-
ton, II not wholly without foundation,
are at least grossly exaggerated. 50 FAR
as they represent that there is mem
ace Of an aggression by Russia outside
OF her own borders. For defensive pur-
pose il has already been demonstrated
BY the Kolchak, Denikine and Wrangel
episodes that Russia-uot Soviet Rus
sia, but a great devoted and patriotic
Russian nation-has a potentiality Of
formidable proportions. But for ex-
ternal aggression we need only point 10
the way in which the Russian forces
disintegrsted in Poland to show that no
Red Army can be relied upon 20 pro-
mote the designs Of Soviet leaders 10
spread into the rest Of Europe COM
munistie ideas which the Russian peo-
pie do not believe in. There is no
basis for a great crusade Of COM
munism. for the spirit does not exist
among the people.
Lloyd George asserts that there are
100000 men under arms IN Russia.
But no record supports his statement,
and the probabilities are all against IL
In the first place, Russia Is so pros
trst,d that food and clothing and pay
could not be found for such a force.
IL has always been necessary 20 pro-
mote enlistment in the Red Army by
peasants by giving them higher pay
and better food and living conditions
than possessed by any other class In
the community. But since the. col.
lapse OF the last attack by
Wrangel the necessity for an army
has largely ended and there has
been a great rehabilitation in order TO
recruit the ranks Of labor II the Red
Army does number a million men or
more IL is so scattered throughout
Russia that IL could not be used for
foreign aggression. II would all be
necessary 10 keep the present Soviet
government in power The economic
and Industrial collapse, the absolute
breakdown OF transport which prevents
even the distribution Of food in the
famine regions, and the unwillingness
Of the Russian peasant TO so oat o.
Russia would make the mobilization
New-York tribune., 1922-06-10

Little does II mean 20 them that II
is tradition, even among savage
tribes, to respect the sanctity Of the
dead. Even people Of but little re-
ligion shrink from the thought oi
pilfering tombs for riches.
And yet to this level has the So
Wet government stopped in its at
tempts 10 perpetuate its existence
The Church has power. The Church
possesses wealth. The Church
guards the dead. The Bolshevists
were Jealous Of this power, 50 they
attacked the priests and imprisoned
the Patriarch. They coveted the
Church's wealth. So they despoiled
the altars. They resented the riches
buried with the saints and emperors.
So they robbed the tombs.
There is strange story about
what happened when. in 1918 the
Bolshcvists opened the tombs oi
some Of the saints in order to prove
to the masses that the teachings Of
the Church were untrue and that the
bodies Of the saints we're not pre-
served intact after death. Empty
coffins were shown 10 the people as
proof. But almost AT once word was
passed through the crowd that the
saints. in order to mock the Bolshe-
visits. had left their earthly resting
places. The sacrilege Of the Bolshe-
visits merely strengthened their op-
poncnis.
Regardless Of sect, such dcsccra-
tion is revolving. Is there nothing
too sacred for the PROCLAMATION Of the
Bolshevists?

II Lloyd Georges object Is to show
tho world that the Soviet regime must

serve a useful purpose. II. on the other
hand, he has the slightest expectation
that the conference at The Hague will
result in a treaty with Russia under
which funds are to be advanced 70 the

A Fair Chance for the Farmer

Objection has been made by Mr.
Gary. chairman Of the executive
board Of the United States Stee
Corporation. and by others TO legis-
lation authorizing the farmers to CO.
cpcrate in marketing their products
on the ground that such legislation
confcrs privileges denied to other
producers and thus creates Unequal
ity before the law.
In a letter to Senator Capper Mr.
Bernard NJ. Baruch makes a con-
vincing answer to this argument
What the farmers want and what
Senator Capper's measure would
give them, he says. are simply equal
ity Of opportunity with other prc-
ducers-especially with the pro
ducers in highly organized in
dustries
There is an essential difference
between an organization Of farmers
for cooperative selling and organi-
cations Of manufacturers. Control
Of manufacturing operations is con-
centrated ordinarily in few hands.
Regulation Of price and output IS
easy. II can be accomplished in
spite Of laws intended TO prevent II.
Il can also be accomplished. by vari-
Gus indirections. within the law.
The farmers, on the other hand.
are a vast and widely scattered body
Of individual producers. They can
not all be organized into a corpo-
ration to control prices or to re-
strict output. As Mr. Baruch points
cut. there IS broad line Of de-
marcation between the controllable
production Of mills, mines and fac
tories and the uncomfortable pro
duction Of the soil Even II the
farmers should attempt unwiscly 70
fix an unfair and artificial price for
one or more Of their commodities
they could succeed in maintaining
that price only for very short
period. The corner would break
down Of its own weight. And no
workable means has yet been de-
vised Of limiting farm production
for price controlling purposes.
What the farmers should enjoy
is a fair opportunity to stabilize
their market and to have as large
a voice in fixing the conditions on
which their products are sold to the
consumer as those who sell them
commodities have in fixing the con-
ditions under which the farmer
buys.
Cooperative farm price selling is
desirable not only for the benefit
Of the farmer, who is one Of our
key producers, but also for the ben
eft Of the ultimate purchaser Of the
farms output. Cooperative selling,
if It could break down the narrow
intermediate control of the market
ing Of food products, would elm
mate a great deal Of economic
waste and would be Of decided ad-
vantage to the whole community.

When statesmen in Canada rise
10 their feet
To burst into eloquent speech,
They must say what they say
In a short snappy way,
And a space Of just three min

No matter how much they may
have on their Ghosts.
Il they stretch those three min
utes to four,
They forfeit the chance
Any views 70 advance
For the rest Of the year on the

When long winded orators banker

When they "rise 70 remark
And proceed 10 embark
On n speech OF an hour or two,

And the eloquent birds

To the folks who are passing
outside.

through in a month
(And often don't get through

They do in a day,
Just over the way,
In Canada's parliament hall.
The galleries there are all filed

For a man with a three minute

To the things that he states

Should Congress adopt such

Could do all they do

The Premier's Speech

Lloyd Georges speech cannot be
ignored in America. for IL advocates a
policy wholly at variance with the
fundamental principles Of the Russian
policy OF the United States.
The speech may be summarized as
follows, viz:
Both Russia and Germany are
economically impotent, having no
capital. Germany is disarmed. But
there are unlimited resources IN
Russia. In Germany there is techni-
cal skill. By combining the skill
and the resources in the two coun-
tries great aggressive military
force can be built up. The Red
Army now numbers 100000 under
arms. On January l, 1921, IL num-
bered 100000. The force on the
frontier has doubled since January
/, 1929. Here Is a menace 10 the
rest OF Europe. While we cannot
deny that conhseation OF private
property is an incident OF all revo-
iutions, the new feature Of the Rus
sian revolution is that the Soviet
government is now seeking money
from the very people whose property
they have eonhscatcd. When the
first Of May arrived the political
pressure incident 20 upheavals on
that day forced the delegates 70
nail "their flag 20 that barren hg
