British Price-Ju Jumping
New York, Oct. a, 1922.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

Sir: We are told by England
that our tariff will prevent shin
ments of goods which would en-
able her to pay her debts. Let US
examine the facts. y
England recently sold US q quantity
of coal and pig iron, but Immediately
she found the demand the mine own
ers jumped their prices from S shil-
lings to Is shillings a ton, although
with larger output their costs were
lower. Ship owners advanced freight
rates from A shillings to 10 shillings
ton, although many of their ves-
sells would have been coming here in
ballast to take back grain and cotton.
Pig iron makers jumped their prices
10 shillings to Is shillings a ton.
Had the English mine owners, pig
iron makers and ship owners gone
after a large volume of trade at a
small profit, instead of comparative
ly small volume with large profit,
they could have created on this side
very much larger credit balances,
which they claim they are prevented
from doing, due to our high tariff.
In the instances 1 have cited the
English argument will hardly stand
investigation. R. A. WATSON.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.

A|NiSpA VI i hS Tribune,
Sir; There seems to be prevailing a
mistaken idea in regard to prison re-
form--namely, that It is fad and
stands for er-sentimentalism, while
IN fact the right kind of prison reform
stands only for justice and good sense.
another point l wish to emphasize is
that my committee, the National Com
mlttee on Prisons and Prison Labor,
does not undertake to conduct the diff
ferent prisons. What we are trying
to do is to establish certain principles
which will act as guide in the con-
duct of prisons and the treatment of
prisoners all over the United States,
and in any other country that is inter-
estcd in improvement in this importan Mt
branch of social welfare. The details
OF the management Of the prisons must
be carried out by the authorities, ad-
justing them to the conditions which
exist in the particular locality in which
the prison is situated.
We would like to have the public
become more interested in this work
AS is now often the case, many people,
even those who are interested in pup
lie work, abandon the prison question
They brush 1t aside saying, eve do
not believe in coddling the prisoner,
"Give 1t to him good and hard" "Noth-
ing can be done about 1t anyway
"Once criminal, always a criminal,
and other similar ill-considered re.
marks.
l think we must all come to the con-
clusion that men in prison are not very
different from those outside, except
that they have been found guilty of
offenses for which they have re-
ceived terms in prison, and that with
right treatment many Of them can be
brought back into a natural state SO
that they can again be received into
the general community, and in many
zens.
There is really not such great diff
ference as is generally supposed be-
tween men in prison and men outside
Some of them have perhaps been bad
for longer time and gone from bad
to worse; others may have been gen.
orally law-abiding people and just by
chance or through some special cause
committed the particular crime fol
which they were sentenced to prison.
There is an idea in some quarter.
that crime is a sort Of disease and
that many could be cured by treat
ment; however, that is something for
future dctermination--we want for the
present to work ont the simple prob
lens. The prisoners should receive
such treatment that after their dis.
charge they are likely to be able tc

W A Banking Renaissance
Credit to Nelson W. Adrch for Federal Reserve s,,etea
MIR. Hepbuns Notable Speech ,~'''

ne New York Times in leader in
the autumn of 1914, after the death of
senator Aldrich, who had headed the
monetary Commission of a then recent
date, that the one man who was en-
titied to the chief credit for the Fed
erai Reserve banking legislation was
Nelson w. Aldrich, formerly Senator
from the State of Rhode Island; that
the new law literally incorporate
sentence after sentence from the
model act presented by the Monetary
Commission with it's report--a model
act, understood to have been framed
by Senator Aldrich himself.
Incidentally, we have at this time in
this city practicing lawyer who was
House member of that Aldrich None
tary Commission, and who vividIy re-
calls the great labors of the commits
sion, evidenced by it's volumes of re-
ports embodying the results of inves-
legations into foreign systems among
others; laboys with which those per-
formed by the Owen-Glass co:amittees
formed no near comparison.
And so, finally, in the evolution o.
events, the facts become known and
justice gets done.

The Labor Shortage
Why It Should Not Be Attributed to
5 Per Cent immigration Law

ier lent immigration Law
10 the Editor of The Tribune.
SIR: Those who attribute to the 2
per cent immigration law the present
need Of labor in certain ;rd,s+r;,
seem to me either to be- wholly
ignorant Of the facts, or to he +rv-
ing TO mislead the public in the effort
10 break down all restriction and to
mood the country with cheap labor.
IN this connection it should he
realized that Cd there has been q
very considerable emigration of alien
labor during the recent period of bust
ness depression and unemployment;
(2) If all countries filled up their
quotas, which they have not been
DONG during TIE last year, there
would be an annual inflow of over
3oo,oOo; CD the countries Of northern
Europe have fallen much farther be-
low their quotas than those of eastern
and southern Europe, most of the lat
ter having exhausted their quotas.
thus showing that the intelligent and
skilled labor of northern Europe has
not been disposed to emigrate to the
United States; (4) a onsiderable
proportion Of our immigration under
the per cent law has been made up
of sweatshop workers, peddlers and
small shopkeepers, not of strong.
sturdy laborers. This is clearly not
the fault of the law, but results from
present tendencies of immigration.
Thus the need of labor is by no
means to be attributed solely, or even
largely, to the 8 per cent law. Further,
there Is little doubt that northern and
western Europe will fill up their quotas
during the coming year, as immigra-
tion from those countries shows a ten
dency to increase.
The relation Of immigration restric-
tion to the rising scale of wages in
some industries was SO clearly stated
by Albert johnson, Of Washington.
during the closing days of the session
Of Congress just ended that we can
not do better than to quote from his
remarks on this point, as printed in
the Congressional Record:
every good American sympa-
thizes with workingmen in their eff
fort to obtain decent wages and
decent conditions. Restriction Ia an
absolutely necessary supplement to
protective tariff. immigration
must be curtailed until all workers
native and foreign born, whether in
the basic or other industries, get
wages and have conditions COM
mensurate with American standards
and ideals if we are to maintain
those standards, ideals, and, in fact,
our very civilization.

z. The remanding Of every person
convicted Of crime, after conviction
and before sentence, to a classification

The release Of men and women from

3. The employment of all persons

4. Tho abolition Of the practice Of

resulting idleness and degradation, and
the substitution Of system of state

Sir, The holding of the great meet
,rr Of the American Bankers Associa-
.son in this city recalls an incident OF
nina wears ago in which the then newly
.,eeted president of the same associa-
zion played q conspicuous part. The
Academy Of Political Science held
rse.;ne in the great hall of the Cham
hsy Of Commerce, Liberty Street, apro-
nos Of the introducing into the Senate
.,s House OF the Owen glass bills to
..,s;,i,sa a Federal Reserve banking
system. and, appropriately, opportunity
wos accorded Senator Owen and Repre-
sentative Glass to seek to establish the
,nor;.s Of the proposed legislation.
Senator over appeared and made an
elaborate speech. Mr.. Glass could not
rome. bu. member of the House from
Ohio came and spoke, the two ad-
srssses occupying all the forenoon ses-
sioa. In the afternoon further
soeeches were delivered, the first of
them by the newly elected president
Of the Bankers Association. His ad-
dress vas followed by the reading of
several papers, one by the late A. Bar
ton Hepburn. His paper was most
remarkably illuminating one. The late
Horace White, then of "The Evening
POST well known financial author
ity, and sat side by side as Mr.. Hep
burn read his most impressive paper.
said to Mr.. White at its conclusion:
"That is remarkable paper" and he
answered.: "Yes; there is more wis
dom in it than in all we listened to
, this forenoon"
Shortly before the political science
meeting was held President Wilson.
in speech in indianapolis, had de-
nouneed Republican Congress men for
opposing the OwenGlass treasures.
saying nothing about their assertion
Of the need Of amendments. In the
1920 campaign candidate James M.
Cox claimed entire credit for the
Democratic party for the Federal Re
serve legislation, which he said had
been accomplished in the face of Re-
publican opposition, he also remaining
silent on Republican insistence on
such amendments to the Owen-G Glass
bills as would render them practicable,
amendments which were finally accept
ed and incorporated into the law
which President Wilson approved,
Senator Root, among others, advocat-
ing their Incorporation while he still
was in the Senate.
In response to the Cox claim I was
again enabled to have printed-what
The Tribune previously had printed
for me-the assertion, editorially, of

To the Editor OF Tho Tribune.

~ WIZ Gditor OF lho Tribune,
Sir: Mr.. Oscar j. Smith. In your IS
sue Of September %, replying to my
prior discussion OF the results of the
wet-dry poll Of "The Literary Digest"
takes exception to my statement that
IL Is evident there is an overwhelming
majority in favor Of the prohibition
amendment, In so far as it prohibits
the sale of distilled liquors, and says
there was no vote on this question.
My statement was in the form Of an
inference from the votes cast and
seems to me reasonable. Those who
voted for repeal of the amendment
numbered about one in fve OF the
total vote. Four out OF five either
voted for strict enforcement or for a
modification to permit the use Of wine
and beer.
theoretically, some Of those who
voted for modification might have
voted also for repeal of the amend
ment If there had been opportunity to
~ bNCA' muse WIN "UTuSQ tne DAIlOr,
and no doubt most of those who voted,
considered that they had provided
means for the expression Of the three
possible attitudes on the subject, viz:
no alcoholic drinks, mild alcoholic
drinks, and the old regime Of whisky
and the saloon.
Each reader may make his own estt-
mate, but there seems lttle reason to
assume that any appreciable number Of
voters for wine and beer are to be con-
sidered hostile to the prohibition
amendment in so far as it prohibits
distilled liquors.
In recent years the hostility to the
American saloon has grown SO that
scarcely would one meet a man who
would defend it. Mr.. Smith, himself,
says he has no love for It. But the
repeal Of the amendment would mean
the return of the saloon, and no high
license has ever diminished It's evil
character.
Mr.. Smith questions my statement
respecting possible return of dis
titled liquors and asserts g present
plentiful supply. Careful observers
are practically unanimous In the state

The Judicial Veto
A Power Not Intended by Framcrs
Of the Constitution

a Power Not Intended by Framers
of the Constitution
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: G. M. Tucker says I share "a
common and very lamentable impress
sion that 1t is sort Of assumption Of
power for a court to declare law
unconstitutional, and therefore void,
and that such action is in somo degree
comparable to that Of Governor or a
President in vetoing a bill"
1t is Mr.. Tucker who shares the COM
mon and very lamentable impression
that is not an assumption of power for
court to declare a law unconstitu-
tional and void. 1t must again be stated
that such "power" is not given to the
judiciary in the Federal Constitution
nor in the constitution of any state. AS
l pointed out, Judicial supremacy
and Judicial veto" were claimed by
Chief Justice Marshall, in an ingenious
argument in the case of Marbury VS..
Madison, decided in 1904. The keen
and subtle mind of Alexander Hamil-
ton first put forth the claim in his
argument in 1.-THE Fede ralist" (No.
7S) and Marshall elaborated it in his
opinion.
AS matter Of fact, reference to the
debates in the Constitutional Conven-
tion Of 1887 will disclose that the ques-
tion of allowing judges to pass upon
the constitutionality Of acts passed by
Congress came up no less than three
times, and each time it was voted
down. Therefore the trainers of the
Constitution of the United States did
not intend that the courts should have
the power to declare legislative acts
unconstitutional and void.
The fact that che judges have as
sumed this great power does not make
it right. On the contrary, this assump-
tion Of power by the judiciary has
given rise to the present widespread
criticism and feeling which have been
expressed both in the law journals and
in the public press. If the people want
to have the courts declare legislative
acts void then there should be a con-
stitutional amendment granting, defn-
Ing and limiting that power. AS it is
now, there is no express authority for
it in any constitution, Federal or state.
