Dry New York
Satisfactory News That No Other
Large City Is So Wet

To the Editor Of Tho Tribune.
Sir: Prohibition news that no other
large city s ns wet as New York 10
satisfactory, for the reason that, prop
erly considered, New York is not wet,
but dry. 1t seems but yesterday that
on some Of our avenues two out Of
three Of tho corner stores at street in
terscctions were liquor saloons, while
to-day few Of these remain. Some six
thousand arc closed.
Then every hotel had its bar and
every hotel dining room and rcstau
rant, except dairy lunches. hnd it's wine
list. To-day most Of these places do
not sell liquor, and those that do sup
ply it furtively and with considerable
caution. The volume Of the trade so
conducted is only Il mere fraction of
what it used to be, further hampcrcd
as it is by price several times greater
than in other days.

Central Park West WIDENING

10 the Editor Of Tho Tribune.
Sir: In his rccent recommendation
tnat certain strcetcar lines, including
those on Columbus Avenue south from
10th Street, be abolished, Daniel L..
Turner. consulting engineer for the
Transit Commission, has taken stem
in the right direction, and it is TO be
hoped that thoso who are attempting
to solve the transit problems Of New
York City will follow him.
The removal Of the Columbus Ave-
nue. surface tracks would. of necessity.
throw largo amount of traffic to the
cars which now travel up and down
Central Park West, and that avenue
would be made TO serve the citv as Il
should do and ss it never has done.
There is no good reason why Central
Park West should be a onc-way thor
oughfare. In 1917 what was known as
the Ottinger bill passed the Legislature.
1t provided for the transfer of the
easterly streetcar tracks on Central
Park West to the western sido OF the
avenue. This can now be done. Tho
Central Park West cars can bo made to
relieve the vcr-present traffic conccs-
ton OF the West Side.
To accomplish this will, Of course
mean cutting down Of thc sidewalk
on the west side Of Central Park West,
but chat is matter which should have
received attention long ago. With the
avenue widcned and again made a two
way street, the entire city will be
benefited and time will be saved to
thousands going to or from business.
1t seems to mo that this Is matter
which should receive prompt attention
at the hands Of the Transit Commits

Great Britain and Egypt

Field Marshal Allenby, the British
High Commissioner in Egypt, is re-
turning to Cairo, having reached an
accord on Egyptian policy with the
Lloyd George Cabinet. The Field
Marshal wrote stiff letter to the
Sultan Of Egypt after the breaking
off last fall of the negotiations be-
tween the ABLY Pasha Nationalist
delegation and Lord Curzon. He re-
minded tho Nationalists Of what
they owed to British control in
Egypt and Of the necessity which
tho British government was under
to maintain secure communications
with India, to say nothing of the
Soudan. But Allelby knows Egypt,
and he has realized, rs Lord Milner
did, that the Egyptian Nationalist
claims not only find support in re-
peated declarations Of British policy.
but also reflect the wishes, as Milner
said, of practically all the elements
which make up Egyptian opinion.
Even the moderate native poll
ticians Of the school of ABLY Pasha
arc unwilling to take part in gov
ernmcnt SO long as Great Britain de-
clines to end the present protecto-
rate. Lord Curzon wanted the pro
tectorate--a war device--to continue
until the guarantees for the future
which he asked were embodied in
treaty OF alliance. Allenby, with
his broader experience, holds that
either the protectorate must be abol-
ished and negotiations then pursued
with responsible Egyptian govern
ment, or the military regime must be
continued indefinitely.
The report of the Miner commits
sion, made in December, 1920, went
tar IN the direction of recognizing
Egypt's political independence, The
moderate Egyptian leaders are will
ing to insure British communica-
tlons with India, but oppose a pro-
longation Of the present military
occupation, especially 1t interior
points. If Egyptian sovereignty is
conceded ~- it already exists in
theory---the natives will yield many
minor points in the draft for
treaty Of alliance, which ABLY Pasba
rejected last fall. Allenby's new
mission is, therefore, one Of concilia-
ton. 1t will admit frankly that
Egypt is not part of the British
Empire and that as an independent
allied state it is entitled to nation
allty, limited only by obligations as
sumed and interests created during
1he long period of informal and
irregular British suzeraintv.

Hylan-Proofing the Schools

The Downing bill now before the
Legislature provides q six to ten
year term for the Superintendent of
the New York City Schools and life
terms for the associate superintend-
ents. The life term obviously is open
to criticism and no strenuous effort
Is likely to be made to retain it..
Unless there is provision for retire
ment at an age limit or for disability
the schools might become loaded
with superannuated educators.
When the bill is in proper form
it will at least put the schools be-
yond the reach Of ignorant or over
ambitious city officials, which is
necessary if they are to be kept out
OF politics. 1nsuring tenure of office
to we'll qualified superintendent is
even more necessary than insuring
tenure Of commissions to officers of
the army.
Requirements for appointment can
be made so high that the right man
or woman can be selected. After
they have been selected there should
be the least possible interference
with the professional management Of
the schools.
The Mayor for the time being has
abandoned his purpose to put the
schools into the control of his per-
sonal and political friends. But he
has three years to serve, and both
he and his sponsor have political
ambitions. The only way by which
the schools can be safely politics.
proofed is by placing superintend
ents beyond mayors power of arbi-
trary removal. A warning has been
given that it is we'll to heed.
For many years the school board
was composed Of men who served
for honor or for personal interest.
But this system had the weaknesses
incident to amateur control. So the
size of the board was reduced, on the
theory that small group of spc-
cialists would do better. But this
system also has it's weaknesses,
among them to minimize the inau-
ence Of those who give their lives
to the schools and to open the door

commissioners, and in Connecticut
by the Public Utilities Commission.
There is nothing to show that COM
mission regulation, which can take
in account differences in operating
conditions, is less effective in fore
stalling accidents than rigid statute
regulation. But experience has
proved that it materially reduces the
burden carried by shippers and
travellers.
Full crew Legislation is cconomi-
caily and administratively unsound.

lslatures will scarcely shirk their

New York, Mr.. Enright told the

immigration Restriction

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The emergency Immigration
law will expire June 30 1922, and the
House committee now is trying to dc
eide upon some measure that will be
at once effective and in accordance
with the wishes of the people who hayc
the good of our country at heart.
Ono of the measures now being con-
sldercd Is to limit immigration to 9
per cent OF the forcign-born citizens
as determined by the census of 1910.
with provisions that the immediate
relatives of citizens Of this country
be given preference, that tranporta-
ton companies be fined for bringing
aliens in excess of the quotas and
that some method be adopted to pre-
vent those who cannot be admitted
from leaving their own country with
the intention of coming here.
or tho several plans that have been
submitted to the committee this
seems to be the most satisfactory and
las been approved by tho Immigration

Owing to the economic condition
mat now prevails in this country, we

The Bonus Burden
American Legion Post Commander
Holds 1t Uniustihed

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The official attitude o. the
American Legion on the national bonus
measure has been IN accordance with
the views of majority Of its mem
bcrs, There can be no question but
that large proportion Of its member
ship has been in favor Of this PROPOSE
tion. But the Legion has never been
unanimous on the subject.
This post of tho American Legion
is not worry large or influential. anc
what it does. perhaps, is Of little gen
eral Importance. But am glad to
say, as its commander, that when a
vote was taken on this bonus matter
some time ago it was not in favor of
the bonus. Consequently, | am not
violating the majority opinion here by
the expressions of this letter.
There has been so much said upon
this subject that not much that is new
remains. But it seems apparent that
Congress is ready to pass the measure
in the belief that we all want it
notwithstanding unwillingncss to place
further financial burdens uron the
country, SO it is q proper time for
further protest.
Heretofore arguments in the Amer
lean Legion have centercd mostly on
tho points that the men have earned
tho bonus; that it was fair that they
should have it because somebody else
at homo earned q lot more money
while they wero serving, and because
tho country had either expressly or
implicitly promised it.
Little consideration was given to
whether the country could afford to
pay it or not. That part was taken for
granted. Most of US are prone to re-
gard tho government as an mex
haustiblc treasure chest that can stand
anything. But we are down to brass
tacks" now and great many OF those
who were loud in their demands for
the bonus before have either changed
their minds or have paused to con-
template more soberly the consequence
involved.
Tho proposition that the country
owes something in money to those who
served, but emerged from the conflict
without injury, is selfish and greedy
1t takes no notice Of those who
scrimped and saved ard worked at
homo without pay. 1t assumes that the
army and navy alone won tho war
without help at home. But above ALL
it dcbases and profanes tho sacred
sacrifice Of those who served gladly
and enthusiastically and gave to the
cause "thcir last full measure of de-
votion."
The proposition has always been
wrong from 8 moral and a patriotic
standpoint, but it is doubly so now
with it's economic consequences before
us. 1t does not represent the serious
and sober thought Of those who served
because they wanted to make the
world u better place to live"
