Lord Lee Sees Conference Success
British Delegate Says Failure Would Spell Bankruptcy
of Statesmanship.

Lord Lee Of Fareham, First Lord of
the British Admiralty and one of the
British delegates to the Washington
conference, spoke frankly about the work
and personalities OF that gathering when
he appeared as the guest Of honor in
the Waldorf-Astoria last night of the
English Speaking Union.
John w. Davis. former Ambassador
TO Great Britain, presided. and others
In the group that did honor to Lord Lee
were Norman Angel, Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Bacon, Col. Franklin Q. Brown.
Mr.. and Mrs. John II. Finley, Major
George Haven Putnam. Walter Scott.
Paul d. Cravath, Mr.. ana Mrs. John w.
Daniels, Col. Fl. T. Kingsbury. Mr.. and
Mrs. Langdon p. Marvin. Miss Z. Louise
Sands. Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert l.. Satter-
lee. Henry w. Taft and George w.
Wickersham.
After Major Putnam had spoken in
appreciation of the late Viscount Bryce
and a resolution had been adopted to
send to Lady Bryce a message of
mourning. Ambassador Davis introduced
Lord Lee.
In the course OF his address the
British delegate had this to say:
These are great days to the English
speaking peoples. because as a result of
this conference in Washington we have
come together, not In any kind of poll
ticai union. and I don't think we shall
ever come together in any political
union. but in a coalition brought about
as the result of an instinct which is as
resistless as 1t Is absolutely unconscious
on both sides.
What is this new diplomacy? 1t is
simply plain, open game. 1t is lay
ing all Of your cards upon the table. 1t
is diplomacy OF the business talk and
the square deal. and it is the kind Of
diplomacy that has been the ambition
of my life to see practiced between the
two branches of the English speaking
may say so. of the proposal that is now
being made. think the new French
Prime Minister suggested we should give
UP diplomacy by conference and go back
to the old system OF settling our affairs
through the diplomats and the medium
of notes and representations"
OF Charles T.. Hughes, chairman of
the conference, Lord Lee said: "It is
impossible to withhold a strong and in.
creasing feeling OF admiration that all
there have had for the fair, patient,
wise, resolute and vigilant way with
which at all times he is watching and
preserving the interests not only Of
America but OF the conference as a
whole"
While the conference wasn't out Of the
woods yet Lord Lee felt positive 1t
would succeed brilliantly in spite of ef-
forts to discredit It, 1t was. like any
other problem play. at the stage now
where they were trying to find the most

edge OF farming obtained homesteads
and went to work In the wrong way.
They took everything from the land
and returned little to 1t. Straw was
burned in the field or left In the
stack to rot. In many instances only
sufficient live stock was kept to till
the soil in Indifferent fashion. Fall
wheat was frequently sown after
merely running disk over the stub
Bile. A reduced grain yield came as
a natural consequence.
Not a few OF these inefficient set
tiers returned to the United States
discouraged, but with those who re-
mained and followed modern meth
DDS diversified farming proved to be
as successful in the Canadian North
west as it had been elsewhere. To-
day they are the owners of splendid
cattle. horses. swine and sheep. 1t is
from these progressive farmers who
practice mixed agriculture that the
recent appeal for reciprocity nego-
tiations with the United States has
come. Some Of the things they want
on the free list are coal, agricultural
implements. household and farm ma
chinery, fertilizers. gasoline. cement,
lumber and lubricnting oils.
1t will be interesting to watch the
reception which will be given to the
bill asking for their additions to the
free list. which will be introduced
in the near future by S. ]. LATTA,
Minister of Education for the Prov
ince of Saskatchewan.

quent and Long DELAYS.

To THE NEW York HERALD: I note
that your Washington Bureau says that
the plan for a pontoon bridge across
the Hudson has been abandoned. 1t had
been hoped by thousands OF automobile
lists that, this bridge would afford the
relief from the present conditions which
face those who desire to cross the Hud-
son River on almost any day. and espe-
cially on Saturdays. Sundays and holi-
days. when It takes sometimes from two
to three hours to cross in the boats at
the present important ferries.
1t has been declared that on last Deco
ration Day the line OF cars and trucks
at the ferry entrances on the Jersey side
OF the river reached from Fort Lee to
southfield, distance OF about forty-two
miles. and that some of those desiring
to cross the ferries were not able to get
on the east side OF the river until after
o'clock the next morning.
Surely some effort should be made to
correct this situation, which is con-
stantly growing worse.

Thousand Dollar Poultry Clubs.

Connecticut, ever up and doing in
matters of thrift, is receiving credit
for originating the thousand dollar
poultry club, which has been found
effective in promoting better methods
for the care Of poultry and in teach

raising chickens.
The idea is to form clubs OF six
boys. who operate under the super.

Agriculture and State agricultural

For the Blind.
The Sir Arthur Pearson Memorial
Fund Makes an Appeal.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Your
readers win no doubt by now have heard
of the sad death of my husband, the
late Sir Arthur Pearson, who did so
much during his lifetime for the welfare
OF the blind.
He was in America at the end of 1918
and was, know. Of considerable assist
ance to Colonel Bordley, who organized
the Red Cross Hospital for the Blind
at Baltimore. The system OF caring
for the blinded soldiers there was devel-
oped on similar lines to that inaugurated
at st. Dunstans, which system the
American Government sent special
mission to investigate. st. Dunstan's.
one of the finest properties in Regents
Park. London. was very kindly lent to
my husband by Mr.. Otto Kahn for the
period of the war, and by his courtesy
we are still utilizing q portion Of his
estate.
This fact alone Is a strong link be-
tween the peoples of the English speak
ing world. and am sure that ! shall
not be calling upon deaf ears IL ask
your readers to subscribe to fund
which is being raised as a permanent
memorial TO Sir Arthur. and which Is
known as the Arthur Pearson Memorial
Fund.
The proceeds OF this fund will be dl-
vIded as follows:
onc-third will be devoted to st. Dun
STAINS, tho enterprise in which my hus-
band worked constantly during the last
six years of his life. This vast philan-
thropic concern has still before 1t the
task OF training some hundreds OF SOL
diers whose sight, damaged in tho war,
has subsequently, left them. despairing
and helpless. to be recducated. trained
and turned into happy and useful mem
bers OF society. whilo in addition there
are not fewer than thirteen hundred
men who, having been trained, have their
interests watched. their employment as
sured and their handIcrafts supervised
for the remainder Of their lives. Where
necessary st. Dunstan's purchases their
raw material for them and assists them
in marketing their produce.
One-third will be given TO the Ma
tional Institute for the Blind. which is
tho largest organization In this country
to attend to the civilian blind. and one
whose influence Is felt all over our en-
pire. Tho National Institute In this
country Is In touch with representatives
Of your American blind societies, and
they arc endeavoring to work out a
scheme by which embossed books for
the blind can be produced In the same
way in both countries. This means the
literature for the blind of both countries
would be interchangeable. and not only
would the range of books be doubled
but the cost of producing embossed lit
erature throughout the English speaking
world would he greatly reduced
The remaining third will be divided
among all other recognized blind chari-
ties throughout the British Empire.
Prior to this division 2ia per cent.
will be deducted from the total for the
Fresh Air Fund. which was Sir Arthur's
first charity. This organization was
created in order to send children from
the slums of our big cities for holiday
In the country. II has already sent well

Prices at Retail.
An Attempt to Explain Why Two
Cent Anples Cost Eight Cents.

To THE NEW York HERALD: III. c. L."
asks why the consumers pays from to
Is cents for 2 cent apples.
This is easy. 1t is not the farmer
nor the railroad. nor at present tho
wholesaler in any great degree. One
Of the principal profiteers is the retailer /:
but even he hands over large part OF
his profits to the landlord and the
money lender; for even retail business
cannot be conducted without land and
money.
Just opposite to the popular opinion.
there are too few retail stores. These
stores have so much business that they
do not care whether you como or not.
Anybody who has trading to do knows
how Independent they are.
with more retail stores there would
be more competition and lower prices.
And why are there so few retail stores?
Easy again. There are sites for stores
but the owners do not want to use these
sites themselves nor allow anybody else
to do so. Would-be retail storekeepers
have property that they would like to
pledge for funds. but the laws do not al
low anybody TO pledge property direct,
and SO retailers are obliged to borrow
from lenders who are protected from
competition and thus enabled to exact
undue tribute.
Thus scarcity Of land and scarcity Of
honest money bear heavily on the con-
sumner while spelling business and pre-
venting its normal development. And
the Same cause Is piling UP our cities
so high and crowding buildings 30 close
together that there is beginning to be
none too much room for retail stores
where they are most needed In these
artificial circumstances.

Ireland's Double Rainbow.

| The sight of the North and the
South OF Ireland getting together is
as agreeable and unexpected as the
Free State treaty between Southern
ireland and the British Government.
And, just as the agreement between
the two islands was necessary for
the peace of the British Isles, so is
Friendship between Ulster and the
South necessary for the complete
peace and prosperity of Ireland.
In the six weeks since the Free
State treaty was signed the Irish
have done great deal to dissipate
the cynical suspicion that they would
destroy their victory by fighting
among themselves. One political
battle was waged in the Dali Eireann,
but even the losers have not made
positive attempt to interfere with
the progress of their opponents.
Meanwhile the winners have taken
up the burdens which Great Britain
handed over to the Provisional Gov
ernment and now, months or even
years before reconciliation with
Ulster was expected. the Collins
Griffith government has come to an
important agreement with the leader
of the North, Sir JAMES CRAIG.
The complete obliteration of the
bitterness between the North and the
South must not be expected too soon.
Even the greatest statesmen cannot
perform miracles, and the ill feeling
has bitten deeply for generations
into the people of both sections. 1t
has been political and economic, ra-
eial and religious. in it's causes. At
the base, however, was politics, SO
craftsmanship has something upon
which it can work.
The head OF the Provisional Gov
ernment, COLLINS, and the Ulster
Premier, CRAIG, are practical men.
They have attacked at once the two
sorest points in the economic war
between their respective regions.
The South agrees to end the boycott
against Belfast goods and banks;
Ulster will be free to do business in
the South and West. The North
agrees to give Roman Catholic work
men a fair chance in the shipyards.
If these mutual boycotts, carried on
with bitterness and effectiveness
unknown in Amc ga, disappear
much progress will lave been made
toward reconciliation.
In the larger political field the
two leaders have come to an under
standing of peculiar significance.
They wish to determine the boun-
dary between North and South with
out the aid of the British Govern
ment, and II is likely that the Eng
lish will be delighted to have these
erstwhile quarrelsome neighbors
Strengthening the line fence without
the aid of an umpire.
Americans are glad to see both
Parts of Ireland assuming this new
attitude of conciliation. and coopera-
tion, and THE New YORK HERALD
ventures to express the hope that
the wise acts Of COLLINS and CRAIG
are but the fererunners OF mutual
confidence and good feeling which
may bring about that much desired
but hitherto unattainable ideal, a
united Ireland.

Night.

Into the hush, the violet vault Of night.
The landscape sinks. and slowly fades
away,
The frail fantastic phantoms OF the light
Vanish like ghosts before the dawn
OF day.
The clamor Of the crowd. the din, the
flight.
The mockery Of splendor and display,
The ceaseless quest for gold, the strife,
the fray,
Are lost upon our hearing and our sight.

On Using Makeup.
Women Represented as Influenced
by Mems Preferences.


To THE NEw YORK HERALD: The let
ter from Natural about the use OF
makeup was read with much interest
and discussed at the breakfast table.
My answer Is that women will con-
tnue TO make up so long as men con-
tinue to pay more attention to women
who do make up than to women who do
not. It is not what a man breaches
that counts, but what he practices. The
woman who does not paint and powder
may have mans respect but she GER
tainly does not get his attentions.
We all do the best we know how
and what will be for our best interests
This Is but natural. When women find
that the use OF cosmetics Is a hindrance
rather than drawing card they will
stop using them. but II is up to the men
TO take the initiative IL they really want
the women TO be natural.
Women and men too have always
used artificial means as an aid to
beauty. but in the past IL was confined
TO the wealthy. Nowadays II is within
the reach of even the poor working girl
and why should she not make use of
what her wealthy sister has used for
yearsg Surely she who tolls is moro in
need OF such aids.
SO long as men prefer artifcia1iy
made up women TO natural ones so long
will women continue 10 use artificial
means 1t ia up to the men to stop IL
it they really want 60. but I doubt IL
they do. CLARA II. SALEM.

effective place to ring down the curtain.
There has been a wave of pessimism
about the conference and It's results" he
said, "but, believe me. ladies and gentle
men. there Is not the slightest founda-
tion for fears of that character. If the
people who are trying to wreck the
conference should succeed that would
be the end of diplomacy by conference
and we should have to go back to the
old, bad conditions of secret treaties. If
this conference should fail--and it Is not
going to fail--that would spell the
bankruptcy of statesmanship and the
triumph OF everything that the revolu-
tionaries In every country are working
for"
