which must be conceded 20 BE potent in
the dispelling Of illusions, and i'm
portant in the making of history Of
very broad Significance. In general
way they confirm what Mr.. Page writes
Of events rs he saw them during that
summer visit of 1915. Coming home,
IN response TO summons. supposing he
would be asked for statement of for
eign events OF which he had cognis
zance, he was surprised that for ave
weeks after his arrival neither Presi-
dent Wilson nor Mr.. Lansing asked
him q single question about those af-
( fairs, revealing, apparently, complete
indifference te them, and demonstrat-
ing the absence Of what sometimes is
termed "the international mind" the
! mind endowed with normal curiosity
concerning great world events. Mr.
Page expresses his amazement that
when Cameron Forbes came from the
Philippines and jonrneyed to Wash
ington to report to Dir. Wilson the
President refused even to see him.
Mr.. Page describes the despair which
almost overwhelmed the English when,
! in January, 1917 Mr.. Wilson made his
speech rroclaiming peace without vic
tory" which led the English to infer
that the President did not realize that
there was moral difference between
the Eastern powers and the Western
Allies, at time when the submarines
were doing their worst and the London
Admiralty realized that, unless the sub
marines were soon suppressed, Ger
many was likely TO win the war in six
or seven months.
In one way Mr. Page has revealed
that he was endowed with the gift of
prophecy. lie realized-and so ex-
presses it--that President Wilson was
forced into the war by his perception
that an inexorable and overwhelming
popular sentiment demanded it; on no
other premise could his sudden fright
about face" between early in April,
when he asked Congress to declare war,
and the time, less than three months
before, when he made his "peace with
out victory" speech. But Mr.. Page
foresaw that, though driven into the
war, Mr.. Wilson was likely 20 assume
and to declare that he had led the
country into it, and all in the interest
OF democracy Those who recall "The
World' interview with President Will

campaign, will remember that that was
just the claim he made in that inter-

The Divine Guidance

To the Editor Of The Tribune,
Sir; j. Ii. Robinson declares in HThc
Mind in the Making: .'We have !.
to create an unprecedented attitude of
mind TO cope with unprecedented con-
iitions and to utilize unprecedented
knowledge" He points out the vast
disproportion In the advance of the
natural sciences and political and
ethical organization of the Gelations of
mankind.
Aristotle's discoveries have gone by
the board, but at the mast OF the
modern Leviathan of state still floats
the standard of his ethical and political
teachings. Tho unchangeability of the
law from Sinai and the perception of
the interrelation of cosmic and natural
forces seem to disturb the brilliant
author. He urges that we free our
selves of one fond prejudice and open
cur minds. Has he failed to appreciate
the discrepancy between physical
phenomena and "mechanique celeste?
That ''the preparations of the heart
in man. and the answer of the tongue
is from the Lord: that the ideals of
the natural law so called. of the per-
feet government and social order
which have descended from centuries
before the Christian era and found ex-
preston in man as the source of all
sovereignty at the beginning of one era,
remain The guiding principle in the
administration of all government, all
justice, the substratum, as said Mar
shall, of the laws of every state. From
these we may only integrate by the
higher calculus of diyinely directed
spirit the principle Of truth into the
affairs of mank ind.

Their Prescriptions
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: noticed the name Of DIR. Alex
ander Lambert among the physicians
who are protesting about restrictions
laid upon the medical profession by
prohibition. Or. Lambert Ia quoted in
"The Journal of the American Medical
Association of July 80, 1922, page 349,
as followg:
'"Tasrc has been great change Is
the pneumonias in New York City.
When we had all the alcohol that
was desired in life in Bellevue Hos
pital one-third Of the 10000 patients
were in the alcoholic wards with or
without delirium tremens. That made
strong alcoholic group among pneu-
was 66 per cent for the alcoholic and
% per cent for the non-alcoholic
group. The type has changed. One
does not see the thoroughly poi
soned, chronicaIly soaked alcoholic
person in the hospital. We had two
wards of fifty patients each; in one
group alcohol was given, and the
death rate was DO per cent; in the
other group alcohol was not given,
and the death rate was IA per cent"
In the same publication statement
is made by Dr. Russell T.. Cecil that in
Bellevue Hospital the pneumonia death
rate before prohibition was 40 per cent
to SO per cent, while at present it is
only % per cent.

70 the Editor of The Tribune.

Sir: The inspection Of nra.war
map that Of the Adriatic, for example,
afili show how the moro powerful coun-
S'fies of the world grasp the coastlines
and harbors, shutting off the inland
eweliing people from free intercourse
a'ong the natural outlets of trade. An
interior country is more or less tribu-.
tary to the masters of the littoral, In
America the interests of the Middle
West IN no way differ from those OF
the coastal slope; its outlets are free
and unhampered toward every point
of the compass.
In those days when this great region
was almost exclusivcIy engaged in
raising products for the consumption
OK the manufacturing East it was not
surprising that strong opposition de-
vsleped whenever national aid was con-
templated for the shipping of America,
Tor the people of the Middle West were
not direct henedeiaries. But how the
last few years have altered the situa
tion-~hundreds OF agricultural towns
are now among the manufacturing
cities OF the country: That vast terri.
tory which is now so sharply compet-
ing with the mills Of the seabosrd
states is as vitally interested in the
marketing Of its surplus production in
foreign lands as are the n,ill owners of
New England.
In order 10 maintain a health ful
business activity, the inbreeding ef
fects of exclusive domestic commerce
must be Offset by an infusion of for.
eign trade. To gain rightful share
OF this overseas Grade will REQUIRE a
carefully co-ordinated method of doing
business. This must include, among
many other things, American steamers
commanded by high class business mas.
ters, statesmen and agents, who not
only speak the language but are
familiar with the habits, sensihiiities
asnd even the history of the people they
are among, and show q Willingness to
make and pack goods according to the
tastes ard eccentricities of their
customers. The liberal attentive
policy Of the great mail order houses

with coast line such as ours, owning
the greatest aeaports in the world and
increasingly dependent upon foreign
trade, is exposed to dangers that may
some day threaten our very existence.
Wealth without the man power to
