Sir: Shall the United States demand

Franco
Why did Germany attack France =.
| think the reason arose out Of the
fact that Germany knew that France
was hostile 10 her on account Of the
Franeo-Prussian War. and that the
only way she could gain her friend
ship would be by restoring to her AL
SAGE and Lorraine. To do this would
be to acknowledge the crime Of 1870.
which she would never do. Germany
therefore decided that she would use
her great army TO conquer France and
would wipe France of the map. France
therefore was an innocent nation. and
there is no more reason for the United
States demanding payment Of the war
loan than there would have been for

tarianism. He deplored "the cru
city Of the victors TO the vanquished,
but never mentioned the horrible
suferings endured by the so-oalled
victors because Of the acts Of the So
called vanquished. So now he shows
= similar callous heartlessness. His
feeling is not for justice nor for hui
mainly. Rather is he disturbed lest
the present policy may injure the
soviets. He holds that the Intel
lectuals" are necessary to the Soviets.
He is concerned not so much with
the fate Of innocent men rs with the
fate Of the Soviet regime.
For his courage in protesting at
all he deserves some commentator.
But he evidently has not yet the
courage TO denounce once for all the
tyrannous autocracy which is re-
sponsible for the acts which he OPP
poses or TO declare that what hap
pens Is the necessary consequence Of
q bad system.

A Welcome Order

lines in New York, are inadequate,

The thousands Of people that flock

Therefore the order Of the Transit
Commission that the service on the

Garbage Burning

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In your issue Of July 10 the
editorial entitled Burning Garbage"
states that during the Mitchell admin
istrAtion much Of the eity's garbage
was taken 20 the Staten Island redue-
ton plant by seows and burned. This
is a misstatement, probably due 70 con-
fusing the two methods Of garbage dis
posal.
when garbage is disposed Of in a
reduction plant il is cooked By steam and
fats and fertilizer are recovered. The
initial cost and the operating expense
CT a reduction plant are more than Of an
ineineration plant, and in an effort to
justify the investment and show a
profit sanitary considerations are
neglected. resulting in the plant be-
coming a nuisance. The Staten Island
reduction plant was no exception, and
it was finally declared a nuisance and
ordered shut down after residents from
all parts Of the island had testified to
the pernieious odors, which were not
only Objectionable but a menace to
health.
when garbage and other household
refuse are disposed OF in an incarceration
plant they arc burned at a high tenn
perature, and clean elinker and high
pressure steam are the by-produets.
Such plants are odorless and sanitary,
and II so happens, because 4 high tenn
rerature is necessary to purify the
refuse, that sanitary requirements are
best accomplished when the greatest
quantity Of steam is produced. The
refuse Of Staten Island is disposed Of
by incarceration at two points on the
island. which have been in operation
for many years without discomfort TO
even the immediate neighbors Of the
plants
quite agree with your editorial that
incinoration is scientific and whole
some, and. so far as know, is the only
method Of disposal that is. Too often
il appears the possibility Of profit by
recovering. salable products from
ousehold refuse Is given consideration
at the expense Of sanitary features, in
stead Of the other way about.

Dry, Moist or Wet?

The first returns Of "The Literary
Digest's" poll on the prohibition
question show a vote Of 32,445 in
favor Of strict enforcement, 1866
in favor Of light wines and beer and
22,547 in favor Of a repeal Of the
prohibition amendment. The vote
against the drys is almost two 70
one, while against the soaking"
vets it is nearly three 10 one.
To what extent this first vote will
be modified remains TO be seen. The
returns from many states for the
first week are so meager that
they can scarcely be accepted as
showing definite tendencies. NoI is
il clear from what sources have come
most Of the answers. Although a
poll Of ten million people should give
an accurate indication Of general
sentiment, probably names selected
from the telephone books and from
"The Digest's" own circulation lists
include a larger share Of the coun-
try's drys than vets. Telephone
books do not list much Of the floating
population-contain persons sufh-
GENTLY we'll off 10 have homes or
Offices Of their own. "The Digest"
also, is probably more widely read
by the settled classes" than by
others.
Foreseeing the possible bias Of a
poll confined to such groups, 1.-THE
Literary Digest" proposes later to
show the tabulation Of votes polled
in factories where working men and
women may give their preference.
The results Of this referendum will
be closely watched. A difficulty in
discussing the prohibition problem
so far has been the inability 10
ascertain with any degree Of accu-
racy how the people Of the country
really feel about it.

"Nice Plunder'

Whatever may have been said Of
William NJ. Tweed-which was a
great deal-he never was "piker.
Collecting a dollar a week from
pushcart peddlers wouldn't have APP
pealed TO Tweed, even though the
collections amounted 20 100000 in
half a year, which is charged by
Charles II. Levy, attorney for the
peddlers who recently appeared be-
fore Justice Cropsey TO protest
The theory Of the Department OF
Markets is that this money goes for
supervision" But what the "su-
pervision" consists OF and who are
the supervisors-beyond the fact
that they are the appointees Of
Commissioner Of Markets 0'Malley
has not yet been made clear.
There is no evidence that any
accounts are kept by the super
visors, or by any one else, for that
matter. Assistant Corporation
Counsel Wilson asserts that if there
is any remainder" after the super
visors are paid it will 90 to the city,
but he admits that thus far there
has been no remainder.
Justice Cropsey's comment on the
business was:
mice plumber for somebody"
The Friend Of the People who ap-
pointed Mr.. 0'Malley, who in turn
appointed the supervisors, probably
includes pushcart peddlers, even
though they are poor, among the
people.
II may be that the city has a right
to the money and that the peddlers
ought TO pay It, but at least the citi-
zens are entitled to an explanation
Of why the city hasn't been getting
it and why no accounts have been
kept.

The Problem of Palestine

The strike Of the Arabs Of Pales-
tine against the British mandate
over that country recalls renewed at
tention 10 a problem which, though
minor, is one Of the most perplexing
growing out Of the great war. The
territory involved is insignificant in
extent and the population directly
concerned is equal only TO that OF
one Of the smaller states Of this
Union. Yet the problem commands
the interest Of the majority Of the
inhabitants Of the globe.
1t is natural that the Jewish race
and faith should look upon that
country as its birthplace, as its his
toric home in the days Of its glory
and as the land 10 which it is 20 be
restored. Fer nineteen centuries a
people without a country, it is inn
possible not 10 sympathize with the
desire Of Jews 10 return unto
Zion" and 10 have in the old kingdom
Of David and Solomon once more a
national home.
But the Christian world looks
upon Palestine as the birthplace Of
the Saviour, as the scene Of His
earthly ministry and as irseparably
associated with all that is most sa-
cred in the Christian faith. It is i'm
possible not TO sympathize with the
interest Of Catholics, Protestants
and Orthodox alike in the possession
Of such places as Bethlehem and
Calvary.
Nor can we disregard the senti-
ments Of the Moslems-Arabs and
Syrians--whose native land that has
been for many centuries, whose home

Il is to-day and who cherish for its
religious shrines a reverence only a
little less than that OF Jews and
Christians, since they, too, claim
Abraham for their father.
Any one Of these three might well
have cause for complaint II the pos
session and control Of the land were
given exclusively into the hands OF
one or both Of the others. The
ancient and vital rights Of all three
demand equal safeguarding. How
10 effect that end Is not an easy
problem. But il would seem TO be
best susceptible Of solution through
the dominance Of a great power
which could be trusted 10 have an
impartial regard for all the racial
and religious interests involved.

Tainted Education

If the Socialists who conduct the
Rand School do not mean 70 teach
doctrines inimical to the govern
ment Of this country or advocating
its overthrow by violence" il is diff
cult to see why they should object to
applying for a license, as provided
by the Lusk law. Loyalty to ones
country is not a surrender Of lib
erty. Americans Of all sorts and
conditions through 1873 years have
found it no burden to support their
government.
The Rand Schools attempt 70 re
sist the provisions Of the Lusk law
on the ground that it is unconstitu-
tional has been defeated by a deci-
sion of the Appellate Division. The
school can continue as an education
al establishment if it will comply
with the law. In order to secure a
license it has only to guarantee that
it will not teach seditious doctrines
or advocate the overthrow Of the
government by violence.
Any loyal educational institution
would gladly comply with such re-
ouirement. That the Rand School
declines TO comply with it appears to
be reasonably good evidence that It
does not mean TO be loyal in its
teachings.
Fair-minded men Of any political
belief can hardly fail TO agree with
these words by the court:
Every right Of the defendant is
guaranteed by the provisions Of the
statute. II the Board Of Regents un-
justly denies the defendant q license
10 pursue its course Of instruction OF
II license therefor granted is un-
justly taken away from it the defend
ant and all others have the right "a
review such action through appropri-
ate certiorari proceedings. No arbi.
trary power whatever is lodged in
the University Of the State Of New
York with respect to the issuance OF
revocation Of a license under the
act'
This disposes Of the clamor that
the rights Of the school are being
trampled upon. All that is asked Of
it is that its teachings be freed from
the faint Of disloyalty. Then it can
continue in existence. Tainted edu-
cation, either in public or private
schools, will not be tolerated in this
country.

GorkY the Gallons

Maxim Gorky once more has ap-

the Socialists who disagree with
them, he says, at will be pure MUIR

will result in "a complete blockade,

Of Socialist Europe" He urges his

fact upon the Bolshevik leaders.
This is the same Gorky who a
year ago called on Anatole France,
Gerhardt Hauptmann and Blasco
Ibanez to come TO the aid Of starving
Russia. This is the same Gorky
who in reply received from a noted
French writer the bitter accusation
Of having defended the Bolshevik
authorities, and thus shared in the

upon Russia. eve shall not cease TO

Real Eloquence

Real Eloquenoe
I sing not Of Demosthenes,
Nor yet Of Cicero,
Who went on all day verbal
sprees
In times Of long ago.
That oratory may be grand,
cheerfully admit,
But also, on the other hand,
One gets fed up on it.
And II / had the gift OF song
I'd give my muse full scope
And let her sing out good and
strong
In praise Of one John Hope.
This Hope has sat in Parliament
Since reaching mans estate,
And listened 90 the eloquent
And otherwise--debate.
An able man is Hope and wise,
Who herewith IS extolled,
Because he learned to realize
That silence is Of gold.
But little marked and quite IN
heard
He only used his ears,
And never said a single word
For two-and-twenty years.
We have no Hopes upon this side
The raging, rolling brine;
Our statesmen all cast far and
wide
Their raucous verbal line.
And when the halls Of Congress
close,
At mountain and at beach,
Their stream Of endless chatter
flows
In after-dinner speech.
Ali how we wish that he'd con-
sent
To serve the L. S. A.
His silence is more eloquent
That all our solons say.

Because many thousands Of elderly

Of gray-haired boys who in the

Mr.. Delivers Mantle

The defeat Of the dye embargo
provision Of the McCumber bill and
the rejection Of many other Finance
Committee amendments show that
a Republican group is forming in
the Senate ready to take up the
work which was done under Senator
Delivers leadership in 1909. This
group aims at moderating the ex-
cessive rates in various parts of
the McCumber measure, notably in
the cotton and wooden schedules. It
is opposed, as Senator Delivers fol-
lowing was, TO a perversion Of the
principle Of protection, substituting
for an equalization Of foreign and
domestic production costs in the in
terest of the public as a whole the
theory Of a practical absorption Of
the market by home producers with
out regard to the economic disad-
vantage Of such an absorption.
Mr.. Deliver received his training
as a protectionist under Mckinley
and Dingley. He was one Of the
trainers Of the Dingley tariff bill.
He realized, as Mckinley did, that
the economic conditions Of the first
decade Of the new century were diff
ferent from those Of the last decade
Of the last century. When the Payne
tariff revision Of 1909 was under
taken he favored liberalization Of
the schedules, as did President Taft
and the more progressive elements
in the Republican party. Senator
Aldrich did not concur in this view.
lie accepted the theory which has
now been carried TO extremes by Mr..
Fordnoy and Mr.. McCumber. He
made the Payne-Aldrich bill a sitter
measure Of protection than the coun-
try needed or wanted.
Mr.. Deliver took up the fight in
the Senate against the high Aldrich
rates. But the power Of the Senate
leader was too far reaching. Mr..
Aldrich had few equals as a political
organizer. He held the Senate in the
hollow Of his hand and repulsed the
Deliver offensive.
There is no leader like Aldrich To-
day. The Senate has lost confidence
in Mr.. McCumber's mastery of the
theory Of tariff adjustments. The
Republican majority is crumblipg in
It's support Of his bill because it feels
that that measure is not only politi-
cally inopportune but loosely and
faulty constructed. Senator Aldrich
with all his skill and experience,
turned out a bill which the country
would not accept and which helped
70 drive the Republican party from
power. The McCumber bill would
also be a serious handicap in the
coming Congressional elections.
There is no political or economic
excuse for passing it now. But if
1t is to be considered and brought
10 position in which it can be
passed at some other session, it is
wise TO submit it to searching criti-
cism and to prune It Of many ex-
cesses and alterations.
This is what the Republican group
headed by Mr.. Lenroot is working
for under more favorable circum-
stances than those Of Mr.. Delivers
day. 1t deserves success, for it is
doing the Republican party and the
country a notable service.
