A President of Courage and Con
victions.

In his action yesterday with regard
to the bonus legislation President
HARDING revealed himself to the
American people as man Of cour-
age and as Chief Executive who puts
sacred duty ahead of personal, politi-
cal consideration.
In returning the bonus measure to
Congress without his approval, and
In opposition to the tremendous pres
sure of his own party, President
HARDISG had consideration for the
common sense Of the situation, with
the Government staggering as it is
under it's enormous burden Of debt.
The Presidents objections to the
measure as set forth in his message
are so sound, and so clear. and so
convincing. that they will have the
Endorsement of all thinking America.
There is no escape for the unbiased
and unprejudiced mind from complete
concurrence in the logic, the truth
and the force of the Presidents un-
answerable argument.
For courage, for deep sense Of duty,
for splendid guardianship of the
sacred trust he assumed as President
of the United States, there has been
nothing finer in any act of any Chief
Executive since the founding of the
Government.
Whatever the cost to Mr.. HARDISG's s
political future doesn't matter, since
it Is a bigger thing and a better
thing for the President Of the United
States to be right, to be honest with
the job he holds, to be honest with
the people who gave him his great
trust than to be returned for a sec
end term to that great trust.
But the truth is that the man who
disregards selfish considerations for
conscientious public service strength
ems himself with the people. 1t is
the coward who cringes to political
ciamor, not the strong man. and Mr..
HARDING now stands out before the
American people, and the world, as a
man who has the strength and the
force of character to make good in a
supreme test between selfishness and
duty.

"The Worlds Disgrace"
Americas Relation to the Crisis in
the Near East.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Your
editorial article "The Worlds Disgrace"
speaks the truth, but feel nevertheless
that only the interposition of the United
States can save Europe from a disaster
as fatal as that OF August 1914.
Such friendly Intervention would be
welcomed by Kenal OF the Turkish
Nationalist Government, and / believe by
all the great European Powers. 1t
would strike at the root of the unrest
in the Near East and the Middle East by
clearing the eituation once and for all
Of the pretensions involved in the man
datory system.
This has been, in my opinion, causa
proxima TO all the postwar economic
problems of the world, and my judg-
ment in the premises Is the result of
personal investigation of fact as well
as law. In 1920 ! conducted an inves-
tigaton of the actual pre-war holdings
of German interests in the Turkish Pc
trdeum Company and of every railway
concession in the Near East derived
from the former Imperial Turkish Gov
ornment, and among other things OBJ
tanned from the Embassy Of the United
states III ASOiucH lic Aiot NOPy " ehN
Sevres treaty. At the present moment
I have through chain of circumstances
been able to appraise tho attitude Of
Kemal Pasha in regard to the United
States. These facts confirm the opinion
that the moment is opportune for a
tender OF good offices by this country
and I sincerely hope you will exercise
the powerful editorial medium of your
paper to promote the peaceful interpo-
sition of America In the premises.
The popular conception that America
has no primary interests in the present
European crisis is wrong. If not by our
participation in the war, certainly by
our economic relation to the allied Pow
ers. and for our own national welfare,
the true relation of the United States to
this problem must be cnvisaged; other
wise tho conflagration will spread and
the world war will reopen with horrors
unparalleled.
My personal opinion has been that the
crash would come by October 1. 1t has
come sooner. and unless it can be check
mated through those imponderables of
friendship and confidence in the people
OF these United States. nothing will
save Europe. Great Britain and France
included. JOSEPH WHITLA STINsoN.

Whereas there has been introduced

Whereas legislation has also been at

which IL successful will have the effect
of eliminating all schools uAder the di-

the elementary grades. and
Whereas we desire to express our ap-

Whereas We also believe that the
English language should be the sole

Dream Ships.

My little cabin near the rivers edge
Is tucked away beside a granite ledge;
And, running to the water from my door.
Is green stretch as level as a floor.
It's an abandoned shipyard, with It's
piers
Rotted and sasglng with the weight Of
years.
Scaffolds have fallen in; the old ship
ways
And other trappings OF the busy days
Have disappeared and in this quiet
place
OF occupation there Is scarce a trace.
workmen are gone; tho ships have
sailed away;
And Natures silent forces now hold
sway
Over the rocky shore and gliding stream.
And mans brief conquest passes like a
dream.
Between the pine trees. I can see the
ships
That once were built here coming from
afar-
Clear in the moonlight is each mast and
spar
Waited along as by favoring wind.
With spoils from Java, China, furthest
Ind.
Old hulks that now are lying fathoms
deep
Where the eternal tides their vigils keep.
Or piled in wreckage on some hostile
Or beached in harbors whence they sail
no more;
But in my vision trim and stanch and
AS on the day when first they put to sea,
They harbor here. although but stuff OF
dreams
Is all their fabric, where the moonlight
CLEANS.
Man works and strives until his course
And passes, as do all beneath the sun.
Only his dreams remain. Tho ships I
Are hopes and dreams their builders

Is the Covenant Mere Words !?
When the Covenant Of the League
of Nations was laid before a world
that was very tired Of war everybody
took an interest in Article XII:

ANY war or threat of war; whether
Immediately affecting any of the
members OF the League or not. is
hereby declared a matter OF concern
to the whole League. and the League
shall take any action that may be
deemed wise and effectual to safe
guard the peace OF nations
Nothing could be broader or more
positive. Not "the League may" but
"the League shall"
Article XII. binds the members of
the League, IF there should arise
between them any dispute likely TO
lead to a rupture" to submit to arbi-
tration or to inquiry by the Council
Of the League. Is there not now be-
tween Great Britain and Turkey a
dispute that is likely to lead to
rupture? Is there not now between
Great Britain and France a differ
ence of opinion that might lead to
anything?
In the light of these articles--not
to mention the famous Article X.--
the proceedings at Geneva are disap-
pointing. We read in the Associated
Press account of the meeting Of the
League Assembly that DR.. NANsEN
created sensation" by proposing
that the League intervene to stop the
war between the Greeks and the
Turks. But, alas! the account con-
tinues.
THE possibility OF intervention by
the League appeared to most OF tho
delegates. upon reflection, to be rather
remote
Turkey is not a member OF the
League, but Greece is. Under Article
XVII. of the Covenant, Turkey must,
IL asked, temporarily accept the obli-
cations OF League membership and
arbitrate or else be cut off from all
financial. commercial or personal in
tercourse" with the rest OF the men,
bers OF the League.
No such demand seems to have been
made on Turkey by the League. The
Turks are at war with League mem
Der. Both have acted in a manner
contrary to the letter and spirit OF
the most important articles OF the
Covenant.
We read in the Geneva dispatch
that "the members OF the Council, as
matter OF form, notified their Gov
ernments OF DR.. NANsEN's proposal"
Great Britain and France both are
members of the Council. Under Ar
ticle XI. both should be summoned to
Geneva to meet with Italy, Japan,
Belgium and the other Council men,
bers. They shall" be summoned, says
the Covenant. Why the delay?

tions reads as IL It had been drawn

Play Censorship by Juries.

Whatever the effect of the new
play jury may be, 1t will never be
possible for the theater managers to
protest that its action has been too
sudden. Commissioner Of Licenses
GILcHEIsT has already accepted one
hundred and fifty jurors and the
names OF as many others will be
added to the list, making panel of
three hundred from which he may
select the jury necessary to pass on
the impropriety which may be said to
be contained in any particular play.
Under the operation of the new
plan any citizen who is offended by
something he may see or hear in
play has only to complain to the
Commissioner OF Licenses. The lat
ter will select from his three hundred
names a jury of twelve who will re-
pair TO the theater and observe the
play. If nine of the visiting jury de-
eide that the play must be changed
the committee will expostulate with
the manager or the playwright, and
IL both refuse to make change, or IL
the jurors agree the play is so badly
spotted that no kind Of revision could
make it appropriate for public per-
formance, it will be withdrawn alto
gether from view.
| Before this action is taken. how
ever, it will be possible for any play
to enjoy a moderately prosperous
run. or course. there are citizens
who are sensitive enough to complain
of almost anything on the stage. II
some of them had their way not a
guilty drama or musical comedy
would escape. II is rather awful to
think what would become OF the re
views" But before the jury has been
assembled, the night selected and the
play officially visited one or more
weeks may elapse. The negotiations
with the managers looking to altera-
ton or final abandonment may be
long drawn out.
Perhaps IL there Is to be censor
ship this is the right kind. 1t will
work less injustice to the author, the
manager and the actors il the course
of investigation proceeds deliberately.
Many scrupulous and usually mex
perienced theatergoers would like to
see quicker action. They would at
once remove from public view what
ever happened to offend them. I'm
der the proposed procedure it will
be possible to test the alleged i'm
propriety by the scruples Of various
persons. 1t will not be the prejudices
OF one person that will prevail. Nine
out OF twelve will have to declare re-
vision necessary. It certainly seems
Just to the play to allow such a mar
gin In its favor.
Thus the new plan ought to satisfy
the theater managers as we'll as any
kind OF censorship ever could. It will
give little or no voice to fanatics who
think that the theater as an institu-
ton stands in need OF constant and
drastic reform. sf
