Conforming to History

A second reading Of the article in
the Encyclopaedia Britannica about
Newton D. Baker leads us to believe
that it might well be rewritten. 1t
dwells too much upon generalities.
and thus might mislead the student.
Why not state the facts specifically
instead Of generally? Here, for ex-
ample, are some which we offer to
the publishers and his friends who
are demanding revision:
Mr.. Baker, when appointed Secre.
tary Of War, was an avowed
"pacifist," and so fitted in we'll with
a campaign of she kept us out of
war;"
Mr.. Baker failed utterly to do
anything to prepare the country for
war before the memorable sixth day
Of April 1917, even though it was
evident many months before that
our recognition Of a state of war
was inevitable.
Mr.. Baker failed to establish
training camps for officers until
May, 1917, although he had been
eagerly petitioned by the Plattsburg
group and many others to open
camps earlier. Had he done so the
entire preparedness program might
have been materially hastened.
Mr.. Baker failed to give direct
and public support to the draft law
before its passage and persistently
opposed extensions Of the draft age
limits.
Mr.. Baker misled the people into
thinking that we had a large air
fleet abroad, whereas the first Amer
lean plane was not landed in France
until May, 1918.
Mr.. Baker permitted our troops
to train with broomsticks for guns,
and to go with inadequate clothing
in winter. He sent units abroad
without their proper quotas of rifles
and cannons, and yet sought to make
us believe that our troops were we'll
equipped.
Mr.. Baker was very tender-heart-
ed about conscientious objectors and
slackers and devoted much of his
energies to seeing that they were
leniently treated after conviction
and confinement.
Mr.. Baker--but why go on? The
Encyclopaedia's space is limited and
the material to choose from is un-
limited. That history may not be
misread, however, it is advisable to
include specific as we'll as general in !.
cldents when rewriting the biogra-
ply of a Secretary of War who de-
lighted in the fact that we were un-
prepared for the conflict into which
we had been drifting for two years.

Financing the War Debt

For the last four years since the
issue of the fourth Liberty loan
the government has been financing
itself on short-term basis-that is,
through short date loans repeatedly
paid off and renewed. 1t is now
floating a long-term bond issue,
chiefly for the purpose of refunding
the maturing Victory notes.
Secretary Melons policy aims at
getting the Treasury smoothly
through the big refunding opera
ations Of the next nine months.
Many short-term maturities have to
be taken care Of. In addition $780,
100000 of Victories fall due on De-
cember Is, 1922, and s9S0,D00, 900
On May 90, 1929. Between now and
June 80 next the Treasury will have
TO. pay off or fund obligations
amounting to s3,525, 100000.
The war debt cannot be extin-
guished to any material extent dur
ing the present fiscal year. The
Treasury now faces deficit. The
debt which falls due must be re-
funded and thus made charge on
another generation. The war was

fought with d fair division OF Its
financial burdens between the pres
ent and the future.
The country did not shtrk a pay
as-you-go policy. 1t paid heroi-
cally. up to the limit of its capacity.
War taxation was 80 heavy that one
Of the first necessary tasks OF peace
was to reduce it, in order to un-
shackle business. But even some Of
the money raised by war taxation
went into the payment Of debt prin-
cipal, for between April so, 1921,
and September 80, 1882, the total
gross debt was reduced by sl,2o0,-
00o, 900.
The debt now stands at $22, ,SO0,~
100000. With the Federal budget
balanced so as to discourage ex-
penditure and avoid new taxation, it
win hardly be practicable to reduce
the principal further in the near
future. The present taxpayers have
done enough for q while. They de-
serve breathing spell, The Treas
ury cannot face new obligations. 1t
is compelled to refund old ones.
Here is an unacceptable economic
fact, q fact which made the pas
sage Of the soldiers bonus bin a
piece Of political light-headedness
and bookkeeping folly.
What the country needs most to-
day is a relaxation of the pressure
of taxation. Mr.. Melons program
wisely provides for this and for an
orderly spreading out through a
thirty to fifty years period of our
tremendous war Indebtedness.

A Few More TriIlions

That old conspiracy Of science to
make man feel like a very small
flea crawling upon an understood
ball Of earth lost in a nightmarishly
huge universe continues. Hundreds
Of stars 10000 times brighter than
our sun have just been reported by
the Harvard astronomers who spent
last summer in Peru. This Milky
Way of the Southern Hemisphere Is
so far distant that it's observers turn
to trillions of miles to express It's
remoteness. OF course all this is
just scratching the inside shell of
our sky, SO to speak, and there may
be infinitely greater universes be-
yond, etc.
Man ought to have been crushed
long ago by these trillions. Per
haps the outstanding fact Of mod
ern centuries is that he has not been
crushed. He has been hearing ever
since Calico of the littleness of his
earth and the immensities beyond
knowing, and has gone right on with
his existence quite as If it mattered.
To habit, plus stupid inability
to conceive Of such immensities, is
sometimes credited this ability to
carry on. But may not another and
quite different aspect Of all this
learning contribute to his cheerful
ness? Man being such an insignin-
cant creature, it is all the more a
feat for him, adventuring upon one
OF the neaner planets, thus to look
these vast suns and trillions in the
eye, count them and spread out the
universe before him FOR investi-
cation. The smaller he gets in the
scale the larger becomes his
achievement, is the idea.
After all, SO far a. scientific
proof goes, there is not particl.
OF conclusive evidence as vet that
life exists anywhere in the universe
except right here. Science has
magnifed the universe beyond ali
belief or comprehension. Man re-
mains the highest achievement Il
contains, SO far as we know. why

The Miller Method

A Miller job done in Miller way
is the Governors plan for paying
convicts for their labor. What they
receive wall enable them to support
their dependents and face the world
with decent chance Of starting life
afresh. The change is the soundest
and most helpful measure that has
been introduced into our prison
system in years.
Governor Miller has tackled this
difficult problem with his usual thor
oughness and care. He has raised
no trunpet-peal Of advertisement.
and ne has begun slowly and mod
estly. Thus proceeding, he has sue
ceeded in winning to his side organ

chief opponent Of such proposals.
Working slowly, he can learn by ex-

facts warrant.

handedly than any Governor had
ever done before. Tammany pleas
may have been behind this leniencv
in some cases. But it is not neees-
sary to accept this explanation to
come at the Essential difference be-
tween the two Governors.
Governor Smith was a glad-hand,
good-fellow Governor. He was
touched by the appeals of families
Of prisoners and their friends, just

many associates their expected
share In the state government. But
such fidelity to friends does not
make for efficient state government
when q Governors friends are born
and bred Tammanyites.
The Miller treatment Of prisoners
is constructive measure of prog
ress that will do good to thousands
of prisoners, their wives and chil-
dren for years to come. 1t is true
generosity, true kindness. 1t is as
far as the poles from that dubious
leniency to individual convicts
which was an outstanding fact OF
Governor Smiths record.

MIR. McKenna' 8 Speech

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Commenting on the Right Hon.
Reginald McKenna's speech before the
bankers convention you state that ':it
asserted stoutly the resolve of England
to pay her debt to America" All that
Mr.. McKenna asserted is. that Eng
land is able to pay her debt to America
on account of the large amount Of
foreign, especially American, securi-
ties .heldeby the English people.
Further on you say that the gist Of
the speech was that it is ruinous for
a creditor to collect from his debtor.
ThisNis not the. whole truth Mr.. Nc
Kenna would make no statement as
absurd as that. The conditions under
which and the manner in which such
payment is exacted do Sometimes make
it ruinous for the creditor 70 collect.
And Mr.. McKenna tried to show that
the case of the Allies against Ger
many is an example Of this. Further
more, he offers as suggestion d plan
which would enable Germany, without
harming the manufacturers Of the
creditor nations, to make part pay
ment soon and to complete payment
later when the German mark and ex-
port trade are restored. This is the
same method which be believes Eng
land could use in paying for her debt
that Of buying the foreign securities
held by her people.
Your. criticism that the German debt
should not be considered on d par with
other national debts is justified, a. is
aise, believe, the reiteration of your
contention that Germany has purpose
" helped the fall Of the mark.
