Viscountess Astor.

New York will welcome viscoun-
tess AsToR on her arrival to-day with
sincere and unfeigned interest and
enthusiasm. The first woman to
hold membership in the Mother of
Parliaments is an American by birth,
a daughter OF family Loted in
American life, and the wife OF d
viscount who comes from a family
for generations conspicuous in the
material development and social ac-
tivities of this city. These facts by
themselves create an Intelligent in
terest In the visit of Viscountess
AsToR to the United States.
But beyond this, the Viscountess
is an able and extraordinarily in
teresting woman. She has hosts OF
friends in America who will be de-
lighted TO see her here, and all Amer
leans. proud OF her achievements
and the big position she has made
for herself in London and in British
politics, will in their hearts give
her a cordial welcome back to her
native shores and be right glad that
she is here.

Gold Reserves.
Hard Work, Not Wampum CHrrency,
the Present Need Of Europe

To THE NEW York HERALD: fear
your editorial article on ''Wampurn In
Europe" may give thoughtIess readers
mistaken idea about the relation OF a
country's gold reserve to its monetary
standard.
To maintain gold standard more
has to be done than merely to think
or measure In gold terms. 1t is difficult
to imagine that working man IN Ger
many who receives cheap paper marks
for his work cares to think in gold
terms IL he would measure his wages
in gold terms he would probably cease
to work for the little they are paying
him.
Psychologically it Is difficult to
imagine that the people OF Poland.
Austria and Germany or OF the other
countriestwhose monetary standard has
been reduced to nat money could think
in gold terms unless these countries ac-
could only be accomplished after the
precious metal or its equivalent had
hcen secured in sufficiently large vol
ume to warrant the rebirth of such q
basis.
In 1892 Austria-Hungary ana In 1896
Russia returned to q gold basis after
they had accumulated sufficient gold to
establish securely the gold standard.
without the metal the standard could
not be securely maintained. Abolish or
destroy our own gold reserve and you
will destroy the gold standard of the
country. You may keep part Of y0dr
gold employed and cover your paper Is
sues with gold equivalents. but at all
times must there be the assurance that
the bearer OF the credit instrument may
at will procure from the Treasury tho
actual. metal; the moment this assur-
ance is removed you will have Seriously
impaired IL not entirely destroyed the
gold standard.
I Europe must regain some OF It's lost
yellow metal before 1t will be on it's
feet again. And the surest way to re-
gain the gold Is BY sheer hard work !;
deprecated paper money is a nfomen-
tary economic necessity. 1t cheapens
labor and makes the cost Of production
so much lower: thereby the countries
affected win export the surplus OF their
production, and by rigid economies re-
duce their imports TO minimum. Gold
will thus flow back 10 the place whence
Il came and help to restore the gold
standard. All that Is needed Is hard
work. BERNARD 1hLLSs'

A Day of Anniversaries.

If any one day of the American
year We're to be called Anniversary
Day. the 18th OF April probably would
be the choice. More events of i'm.
portance to this country have oc.
Cured on this date than on any
other. The birth of ROGER SHERMAN
(1721) and the speech OF EDMUNn
BURKE against taxing the colonies
(1774) were pre-Revolutionary events
which came on April 10.
1T was by the village clock" 147
years ago this morning when PAUL
REVERE galloped into Lexington to
rouse the Minute Men for the first
fighting Of the Revolution.
Seventy-five years later, on the 18th
of April (1s50), there was more
peaceful meeting of the United States
and England in the signing of the
Clayton-Bulwer Treaty for the join,
occupancy of the proposed Nicaragua
Canal.
In the civil war, as in the Revolu
ton, April 10 saw the first shedding
of blood-the attack on the Sixth
Massachusetts Infantry in the street.
OF Baltimore in 1861.
On April 10, 1917, the first Amer
ican shot was fired in the great
war, the naval crew Of the merchant
man Mongolia directing it against a
German submarine.
On April 10. 1913, the first impo-
tant American engagement OF the
war occurred at Seicheprey.

pass it as amended it will go to the
President for his signature.

thought of Representatives, Senators
and President are diverted from the
serious business of government to
trivial matters which should be
wholly within the jurisdiction OF an
executive department. II Congress
wants to have special cancellation
stamps used to advertise local cele-
brations, fairs and festivals 1t should
enact a statute authorizing the Post
master-General to grant the neces-
sary permission under such restric-
tions as it may think wise. If there
is objection to the practice, 1t should
be prohibited. But for members Of
Congress to spend their time enact.
ing bills such as that which we quote
above entails a useless expenditure
of time and energy which should be
devoted to the important problems
before the national lawmakers.

Socialism's Worldwide Fight.

The program for worldwide agi-
tation which has been adopted by
the socialist leaders in Berlin, and
which was described in some detail
in an Associated Press dispatch this
week, represents a determined effort
to unite The followers of KARL MARX
internationally, and to overcome the
effects OF the splits which resulted in
their organization from the war.
There are now three social.st In
ternationais. The Moscow Iuterna-
tional includes the extremists, the
communists, the supporters OF the
disastrous experiment which has
plunged Russia into economic chaos
aud famine and suffering. The Sec
ond International has the support of
the British Labor party and the con-
servative socialists of Europe. In
radicalism it stands furthest, among
socialist agencies. from the Moscow
aggregation. 1t inherits the general
prestige OF the pre-war international.
The Vienna International, in which
the German Independent Socialist
party is enrolled, and with which
many South American socialists are
afiliated, stands in doctrine between
the Moscow and the Second Inter
national.
Communism operating through the
Moscow International, having failed
% bring about the world revolution
against private property, Is now
ready to join in the attempt to re-
store world solidarity among social
lists, though II has changed only its
tactics, not its object. Its leaders be-
lieve that IL worldwide cooperation
Is established among socialists Of all
degrees from pale pink to blood red.
t..- extreme program will gradually
make headway.
Their method OF procedure Is SIM
pie. II involves incessant attack on
labor organizations, political socie.
tics and similar groups which, while
dissatisfied with present political and
social conditions, are not yet pre-
pared for such change as Russia has
suffered. the perversiou OF peaceful
agencies to violence, the substitution
