Arbitration Pioneers

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In regard to recent comment or
the Arbitration Society of New York
and its activities in securing the pas
sage Of the New York State arbitration
act. may | point out that the Chamber
of Commerce Of the State of New York,
through it's chairman of the arbitra-
ton committee, Charles l.. Bernheimer,
and the New York State Bar Associa-
ton worked for seven years to have
this piece of legislation passed?
The chamber, over century and a
half ago, began settling commercial
disputes by arbitration, and it's present
committee functions almost daily. 1t
recently decided cases to which the
French government, the Italian gov
eminent and the Greek government
were parties. P.P,B.

Saivaging the Army

The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee is preparing to report the
army appropriation bill with a pay
allowance which viii support an
army of 100000 men during the next
fiscal year. Such action will mark a
return to cCmmon-sense basis of
estimating the armys needs. The
House Of Representatives, in an ex-
cessive zeal for economy. cut the
strength Of the army to 115. 900 men.
At that time-before the debate on
the navy personnel had exposed the
weakness with the country of these
undue concessions to the spirit Of re-
duction merely for the sake of reduc-
tlon-the House was in no mood to
listen to the arguments made before
its committees by Generals Pershing
and Hartford. The army was sacri-
feed to pseudo economy and vague
pacifist sentiment.
Generals Pershing and Harbord
have shown the Senate that the
new peace basis policy of the War
Department will be interfered with
by a reduction which does not
leave sufficient strength to operate
the nine regional departments set up
in .he United States. Shortage of

In a Pujo Mood

Interesting and tireless Samuel
Untermyer at his best is very, very
good. At his worst he is very, very
well, not so good.
AS an interchangeable, energizing
force behind the work of the Lock-
wood committee he has lately done
valuable public service. For it the
community is duly grateful. There
is more home and general building
in New York because of his labor,
and rents are shading off
Seeking other fields where the
spotlight may be focused, Mr.. Inter
myer attacks the Department of
Justice and in effect charges it and
the courts with deliberately protect
ing big criminals while relentless
toward small ones. The only basis
for this severe accusation seems to
be that the department. because
proof was lacking or for other rea-
sons. has not indicted and tried all
the persons and corporations that
Mr. Untermyer says should be in
dicted and tried.
He apparently forgets that an
Attorney General is not at liberty
under his oath to become a dummy
for Mr.. Untermyer or any one else.
Experience under the Sherman act
has abundantly shown that it is a
vague and uncertain statute and
that DEGREES obtained under it are
often without practical value.
In days past. during the period
when the Pujo committee was at
large and hot on the trail of mag
mary conspiracies, Mr.. Untermyer
gained the sobriquet of "Pujo Sam"
We confess to liking him better as
Lockwood Sam" and hazard the
guess that he likes himself better so.
As to the Presidents placement Of

A Complete Abb

My Republican friends down
here said Governor Miller in his
ringing speech to the Kings County
Republicans, told me what would
happen if we passed the transit act,
and it happened
The Governor alibi to the charge
that he has played politics in transit
matters is complete. Not even his
most active opponent has accused
him of being below par intellectually
He we'll anew that the course he fol-
lowed would bring an attack, super
ficially plausible, that would lose
many thousands Of votes. But he
was more interested in doing his
duty and in getting better and
cheaper transit for the city than in
carrying an election. The transit
act was pushed when it appeared
that the Hylan administration would
do nothing, not because the Governor
would play politics, but because he
wouldn't.
Sooner than expected vindcation
has come. 1t is now manifest that
the Mayors policy Of "let 'em wall"
is born Of the fear that settlement
of the traction issue would deprive
him Of his chief stock in political
trade. So he is an obstructionist
and is out Of breath trying to find
new excuses for obstruction. An
average audience now laughs when
a Hylan soap-boxer shouts that the
Mayor is fighting the Interests"
The claim has become so preposter-
Gus that ~ is funny.
The behavior OF Governor Miller
in traction matters, as in others, has
been that Of the strong man who
would serve the people honestly. He
has too good an opinion of them to
think they can forever be fooled with
buncomhe. Hence the spontaneous
demand for him to accept a renomi-
nation, no matter what his personal
preferences are. He is no plated
politician whose brass founda ton is
revealed when events bring their
rubbing. He is good and sound
metal all the way through. Such
men are often not good in the 100
yard dashes of politics, but in the
mile-run they finish ahead.
The Governor daily grows in pop
ular esteem. He is able and indus
\ trious, and, above all, he is genuine
and sincere. and the public has found
these things out. 1t will not be easy
TO make another demagogic cam
paign against him.

In the Hall of Fame

New York University in 1904 pro-
vided for Hall Of Fame elections of
women, but they were not accorded
places in the sections devoted to
their special arts, or indeed within
the Hall itself, but in separate cor
ridor outside more sacred precincts.
Here tablets to their memory were
jumbled together, not because thew
had made notable contributions to
art, science or letters, but because
they had distinguished their sex
rather than served the human race
by their achievements.
Now bust in honor of a woman is
to be placed in the Hall itself Tab
lets have been erected to Harriet
Beechcr Stowe, Mary Lyon, Emma
Willard, Alice Freeman Palmer.
Frances Elizabeth Willard, Maria
Mitchell and Charlotte Saunders
Cushman. But Maria Mitchell. wom-
an astronomer, the first woman to be
admitted to the American Academy
Of Arts and Sciences, is also the first
woman to receive complete recogni-
ton in the Hall of Fame.
The way is now clear for what DR..

the lust and LIBERAL opinion of

bOORS BY Percy Hammond


On the authority of the Messrs. Dou-
bleday-Page, the publishers, and Of
others less interested, it may be sa id
that the title of Don Marquiss new
book is to be "SOnnets to a Red Haired
Lady and Famous Love Affairs" Since
the Doubleday newspaper repre-
sentative is human, rather than critic,
his impression of Mr.. Marquis's book
may be of value. "In these sonnets,"
says he, "the gentleman with the blue
beard celebrates thirty flaming hero
ines, thirty pensivc memories of for
mer wives. The torchlight lady who
committed herpcide, the eighth spouse
who pinned away in vat of frecke
lotion, the thirteenth whom he touched
off with tar and watched loves embers
burn, stir wistful memories. The sec
ond part, Famous Love Affairs is a
recreation of the dramatic moments in
the lives of some of the famous lovers
who have strewn the path of history
with the wreckage of their hearts
Paris with the lamps hypnotic and his
timid Helen, King Cophetua and the
beggar maid, whose papa peddled lemon
ade; Cleopatra. whose wedding day was
Friday; Romeo and precocious Juliet,
are some of the dramats persona in
these lyric tales"
The participant in the WASHINGTON
conference least satisfactory to Mark
Sullivan in THE Great Adventure"
seems to have been Senator Lodge. Mr.
Sullivan did not so much resent that
statesman's graceful, if windy, balloon
ings among the
"Sprinkled isles
Lilly on lily. that oer-lace the sea"
as he did the languorous nonchalance
that marked the Senator's attitude to-
ward the celestial enterprise. Most of
the other historians addressed their
derisions to Mr.. Lodges vicarious
meanderngs through the archipelagoes
IN his treaty speech; but Mr.. Sullivan
was more patient with those blissful
voyages than he was with the irritating
lassitude which preceded them.
Senator Lodge "strolled' into the
first session of the conference "My
notes say 'strolled,'" writes Mr.

third line formations with the regu-
lar army. The new military system
| will be starved before it has a
chance to take root
1t is especially important that the
officers corps be maintained some
what over normal strength. This re-
suit is guaranteed by the adoption Of
General Pershings plan for maxi
mum Of $4,000 officers on July /
next, to be reduced gradually within
the year to 10000. Twelve thousand
is a minimum strength for officers
in view Of the work Of education and
coordination which is thrown on
them under the army reorganization
act Of 1920
Mr.. Kahn, chairman of the Mill
tary Affairs Committee of the House,
made a gallant fight for these ideas :;
but he was steam-rollered by the
House Appropriations Committee.
Since then sentiment in the lower
branch has probably changed enough
to allow an enlisted army strength
of 140,000-or at least of more than
10000.
1t is not advisable at this time to
skeletonize either the army or the
navy.

1t was natural that the marine

numbers one hundred thousand,
should take steps to organize against
Reds and outlaw unions Of the sort
which did so much mischief during
the war.
These men do not forget. In the
years of the war they lost many of
their number who had shipped on
American vessels which were ruth
lessly torpedoed. They knew that
all about them were spies whose
business was to inform Germany Of

and they know that they are still the

More Truth Than Poetry
By James ]. Montague
Vox Populi

Vox Populi
We wouldn't be unsympathetic
With any Good Cause for the
world.
In every great fight, on the side
of the right,
Our banner is always unfurled |!
We never reserve our decision
When labor and money con-
Until we find out what it all is
Or who'll be on top at the end.
To-day, when the owners of coal
mines
Declare that the strike is a plot,
And the miners can strike and be
darned, if they like,
We know where we stand to
dot.
Our sympathy all is one sided
1t is not with the fellow that
delves,
And we don't give rap for the
mlne-owning chap;
We side to the last with our
selves.
We know that the row will be
settled
Before all the railroads shut
down;
That some man will step in as
fxer and win
Unlimited wads Of renown.
But we also are willing to wager
Our swiftly diminishing roll
That on that happy day we will
step up and pay
Considerably more for our coal.
1t is always the way with these
fuses;
One side or the other will fail.
The sovereign dominion of public
opinion
Is sure in the end to prevail.
They call it a great recrudes-
cence--
The triumph Of sound common
sense,
But we know in our heart that
our own little part
Will be merely to meet the ex-
pense.

The Fate Of Eastern Siberia

Japan's refusal to discuss the ST.
berian question at Genoa has natu-
rally aroused criticism.
But is not Japan justified in con-
Germ about Vladivostok and Eastern
Siberia? 1t is only seventeen years
since she was attacked from these
very regions by Russia. And it is no
secret that not only the Bolshevists
but practically all the Russian people
retain deep-seated hostility toward
the Japanese.
Vladivostok in the hands of Japan's
enemies menaces the safety of the
island empire. She is naturally con-
cerned over it's ultimate fate. She
has promised to withdraw her troops
from Siberia as soon as conditions
permit it and has thereby shown
that she has no desire for imperial
istic territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT But
when this time comes and she finally
enters into an agreement with the
Far Eastern Republic or it's Moscow
overlords a reasonable policy of de-
Tense will prompt her to seek assur-
ances that she shall not again be at
tackled from the west.
No one in this country has sympa-
thy for Japanese imperialism. But
it is hard to deride Japan's anxiety
that Eastern Siberia, once Russian
in name but mostly non-Russian in
population, be not again the base of
hostile power.

What Readers Sau
The New England Conscience

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your recent editorial entitled
The New England Conscience"
prompts me to ask The Tribune if it
has forgotten all that it learned in
school or out Of American history.
Was it not "the New England con-
science" that risked the perils of an
uncharted sea and an unknown land in
order that the world might have sn ex-
ample Of religious freedom and gov
eminent by consent of the governed?
was it not "the New England con-
science" that chose war with the moth
er country rather than submit to the
jdespotic misrule of Britain's German
born King, George III?
Was it not "the New England con-
science that launched and kept alive
the movement terminating in the
abolition of African slavery from orr
favored land?
Was it not "the New England con-
science" that restored to the world the
Masters teachings in all their purity
And power?
Was 1t not "the New England con.
sclence" that was foremost in the fight
for prohibition and equal suffrage?
Friends, "the New England con-
science" is the manifestation in human
affairs of the Christ idea, truth.
