NELL known to the writer is a
w young man. who. without special
talent, made up his mind at eighteen
years that he was going to write plays
for n living.
He worked his way through Column

writing under Prof. Brandcr Matthews.
Matthews was not optimistic as to his
future career, but he helped him all he
could.
Graduating from Columbia. the young
man went to Harvard, where he took
course in literature. Then he came
to New York and began to write plays.
But nobody wanted the plays. His

Censors, Ideal and Real

OF course the publishers want a
censor. The Tribune wants cen
sor. Everybody wants a censor. Il
is the ideal way 70 purify minds and
morals and save the FIR trees and
otherwise improve the universe.
But, alasl look at the way censor
ship always works out. 1t works
out in war time in bureaucratic
dumb-heads and in peace time-in
Mr.. John S. Sumnerl
Everybody wants a censor, but no
body wants the kind Of man that a
censor always seems TO be-or the
kind Of man that a censor becomes,
at any rate, no matter how sensible
and open-minded he may have been
at the start. Mr.. Sumner was a per
fectly efficient young man, doing an
excellent job, we have no doubt.
There is a job 70 be done in keeping
out downright, unmistakRble filth.
real garbage. 1t is like a street
cleaners job. and il is just as i'm
portant to the health Of the com
munity. But il rs not thrilling JOB.
There is no excitement about il. The
character Of such garbage is unmis-
taxable. II reeks 20 heaven All
one needs is a shovel and an ashcan
backed up by the routine processes
Of the courts-to take care Of 1t.
So we have Mr.. Sumner as he is
to-day, as the job Of censorship has
made him. Filth orgy" dollar
publishers" dirt disners," "vocifer-
Gus squawk about freedom Of expires
sion," are his regular mode Of
speech. This would-be judge, who
should be a cool, clesr-headed and
thoroughly human citizen, himself
squawks and scratches like an ex-
cited hen. We are not disposed 70
blame Mr.. Sumner. Better men
than he have lost their perspective
in the same fashion. To design, ap-
ply and maintain binders upon all
ones fellow citizens is apparently a
job beyond human capacity. That
squawk las Mr.. Sumner would
doubtless call it, in the Constitu-
ton Of the United States about free
dom Of speech is apparently based
on q very thorough knowledge Of hu-
man nature as well as Of govern
mental theory.

Ratification by King George OF
the naval limitation agreements
reached at Washington completes
the formalities for The British En-
pire. The japanese government has
expressed itself ready 10 put the
treaty into execution as soon as 1t
has been finally accepted by the
United States and Great Britain, so
that there remains only the question
Of French and Italian approval.
Washington, il is reported, Is nor
anxious 70 carry out the terms OF
the treaty until all five nations have
ratified it, but is willing to consider
the suggestion from Japan that in
so far as the $50 ratio Is con-
cerned II Is unnecessary for the
three principal nations concerned to
wait for France and Italy.
II is. Of course, regrettable that
all the European nations concerned
have not yet ratified the Washing
ton treaties. The United States,
after its own experience with the
Versailles treaty. is not, however, in
a position TO complain about this
delay. But &C little does French and
Italian participation affect the major
issues involved that it is question
able whether the delay in ratifiea-
ton in Paris and Rome should hold
up the plans Of Great Britain the
United States and japan for adopt
inc the 5-5-3 ratio.
The naval agreement, IS = matter
Of fact, was primarily an affair
among the three great naval powers.
The participation Of France and
Italy was invited as an act Of
courtesy. In order 70 achieve the
desired results IL was necessary to
limit the three enormous rival
navies. After the principle has been
accepted by these nations it viii not
be difficult to induce others to follow
suit.
The japanese are reported to
have suggested making a three
power agreement If the present five
power treaty finally fails Of ratihca-
ton by all the European powers.
Like ourselves and ike the British.
the japanese are looking forward to
the economies which viii be possible
when the principle Of limitation has
been put into effect.
The fact that Japan has made
such a proposal may be taken as n
token Of the sincerity Of Japan's de-
sire that the work Of the Washing
ton conference may be turned 10
profit as soon as possible.

Mr.. Enright Confesses

Commissioner Enright, in restor-
ing the ten-squad police system, an
ncunccs that the crime wave. which
he once said never existed, has
passed. He admits abolishing the
system in order TO check crime, al
though he still stoutly insists that II
was not at all necessary. to abolish
Il. inasmuch as there was no crime
10 check.
The Commissioners action Is sig
nifcant in one respect. II is a con-
fession that he reads the newspapers
and pays some heed TO their advice.
He says: "The suspension Of this
efficient system was occasioned by
crime wave propaganda prepared
and broadcast by a concert Of ac-
ton among several newspapers. In
a deliberate and sustained attack
upon this department and is respon-
sible officers"
This deliberate and sustained
attack consisted in the printing Of
the crime statistics, with occasional
frst-page stories Of particularly bold
and glaring offenses. Mr.. Enright
said at the time that he paid no at
tention 70 these stories and utterly
disregarded the editorials printed
concerning them.
II now appears that he was at
least moved 10 increase police vigi-
lance because Of them. II he will
continue from time TO time 10 glance
at the newspapers and note crime
conditions he may again rearrange
the force for the better protection Of
the public. There is hope for him as
long as he is guided by the news
papers, as he now confesses he Is.

Our Claims Against Germany

The agreement signed on Thurs
day in Berlin at last provides for
the settlement Of American claims
against Germany. A commission Is
to be appointed, consisting Of one
American and one German represent
alive, and Of q referee, who, by the
special request Of the German gov
eminent. is to be an American.
Although the nature Of the cir
cumstanees warranted the appoint
ment Of an all-Americsn commission
the Lusitania claims being among
those to be considered-the appoint
ment Of a mixed commission is in &C
cordance with international practice.
There is every assurance that the
American claims will receive g sym
pathetic hearing.
The new agreement provides only
for the settlement Of American
Claims. As this must, according to
the Treaty Of Berlin, precede the
final liquidation Of the Alien Prop
erty Custodian's affairs, it also
presages the ultimate disposal Of
German claims against our govern
ment. The Treaty Of Berlin reads
that German property taken over by
the American government Shall be
retained by the United States Of
America until such time as
the Imperial German government
or successors shall have
made suitable provision for the sat
isfaction Of all claims Of
all persons. wheresoever domiciled,
who owe permanent allegiance TO the
United States Of America and who
have suffered through acts Of the
Imperial German government or its
agents.
In most Of the talk about the Alien
Property Custodian's holdings undue
stress has been laid upon the poor
Germans and their claims. Too little
attention has been given 10 the pri-
GRITTY Of American claims. This pri-
GRITTY is now assured, and when our
accounts have been closed and settle
ments which should have been made
years ago are completed it will be
times TO consider the "outrages"
