Both Murder and Suicide

The manufacturers and sellers of
wood alcohol disguised as whisky are
in the business Of murder. If Dis
trict Attorney Ruston runs down, as
he expects to do, those who have
been supplying the stuff which has
already killed eleven persons in
Brooklyn, their punishment should
be exemplary enough to drive others
Of their stripe from their unspeak-
able trade.
But there is little chance that
poison liquor will not continue to be
sold while there are persons foolish
enough to buy it. One who drinks
the bootleggers' concoctions ought to
know that he takes long chances.
Two-thirds of the liquor they dis
pense is probably poisonous to some
degree, and the consumer of it, if he
is not murdered, like the wood alco-
hol victims, is virtually committing
suicide by installments,

The First Circumnavigation

navigate the globe in an airplane, is
the four hundredth anniversary of

The quadricentenary of Magel-
ian's high achievement may well be
commemorated extensively and con-
! splcuously, especially in the United
/ states, whose flag now floats over
the Philippines, which were the
richest fruitage of the great voy-
ayers discoveries. As it is, the chief
celebration is to be at Madrid ex-
sctiy 200 years after the day when
the Basque navigator Juan Sebas-
tian del Cano, with eighteen com
panions, all that were left of the
"Yeat expedition, in the caravel
isttorla, reached Seville.
! The story of the epochal voyage
IS, OF course, well known. Setting
cut on August %, 1919, and coasting
along South America, the armada
penetrated the strait which since
then has borne Magellan's name,
then entered the Pacific. Sailing
in a diagonal line, the squadron

Telling 1t to Europe

The ntterances in Europe of James
M. Cox, who, it may be remembered,
ran against Mr.. Harding for
the Presidency, have apparently de-
prived the Pittsburgh /. publisher
Alexander P. Moore of his sense of
humor. Mr.. Cox, having followed
ths advice to "See America First!''
during his campaign, has been seeing
Europe, and, not content with see
ing, has also done some telling. His
remarks have not differed much from
those which he made during the 1920
campaign, and so have contained
nothing particularly alarming. Yet
Mr.. Moore, apparently fearing that
q prophet who was without honor in
his own country might be taken seri-
ously abroad, has seen fit to lecture
the Europeans about being too cred
ulous.
Mr.. Moore is unduly apprehensive.
The Europeans know little of our
political affairs, but one lesson which
they have learned, and will net for
get, is not to accept at too high a
value the assurances of Americans
who do not represent American opin-
ion. Their experience with Mr., Will
son opened their eyes, though too
late. 1t is unlikely that Mr.. Wilson's
defeated candidate, reviving Mr..
Wilson's assurances about American
participation in the League of Ma
tions, will be listened to with undue
credulity. His words will, of course,
be received with the utmost cour-
tesy But in Europe courtesy is not
necessarily synonymous with belief.
Mr.. Moore is right in his belief
that too many Americans have been
lecturing in Europe about what
America will or will not do.

Sir: 1t does not seem to be necessary
now for the successful politician to
know or care what the majority want.
About 40 per cent of the number who
could vote do not take the trouble to
Go so. Of those who do vote large

Gratis and not as discriminating indi-
viduals, the candidates. personality not
counting for much.
Naturally politics grows into bust
ness and the field is clear for anv re-

name. An Anti-Saloon League may exact
promises from any or all candidates
as nobody would like to be called a
friend of the saloons. Later we get

The Public's Weapon

Opposition made in the Senate to
the coal distribution bill was based
on the theory that freedom Of con-
tract and delivery ought not to be
interfered with. Mr.. Reed, of Penn
syivania, backed up Mr.. Sutherland.
Of West Virginia, in opposing prior
ity order control by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Yet prior
ity order control is the most con-
vsnisnt nationwide weapon with
which to force profiteering operators
to conform TO fair price ruiinga.
Mr.. Reed said that the country
vas facing only "a comparatively
slight emergency" - a "momsntary
stringency in coal" which did not
Justify the indirect regulation of
prices. This cheerful view may pre-
vail in the heart of the bituminous
district, but it does not prevail in
states which are certain to feel the
pinch Of the coal shortage next fall
and winter.
New Workers would be delighted
10 think that there is only a ''mo-
mentary stringency," for instance,
in the anthracite market. But a
strict rationing of hard coal here
seems unavoidable, and famine coal
prices would only pile one affection
on another. The public, vainly pro

approximate those charged last fall
and that dealers who try to profitcer
will be prosecuted. Our emergency
coal control law does not reach out
siders. There is ell the more need,
therefore, for a Federal law. deny-
ing shipping facilities in interstate
commerce to producers who will not
observe fair price schedules.
The public has a paramount in
terest in economic coal produc-
ton. 1t feels that it has been VIC
timized by the 1922 strike. And it
is resolved that future good shalt
come out Of present evil through a
sane reorganization of the coal in

Fiat Money
the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: One of your correspondents
suggests as method of paying for the
bonus the issuance of paper currency
with nothing behind it; in other words,
fiat money. From his letter "stand-
patter" could hardly be taken for a
person who has studied economies.
Fiat money has been tried in many
countries, usually to raise funds at
times when taxes were high and other
forms of revenue were exhausted. This
system of paper money has been tried
here and we need 60 no further than
our own experience to realize the folly
of repeating. At the time of our
Revolutionary War the colonies is
sued the ''continentals," which soon
became so valueless that they could
be bought for coin at rate of 225
to /. Again, following 1863, the value
of the greenbacks, commonly known
as "shinplasters," dropped to a5c 10
the dollar.
Now, why? Surely not entirely he
cause our credit was poor, but mainly
because paper money to have any value
must have something in the form Of o
commodity back Of it, or the paper soon
becomes almost worthless and the coin
with which the paper is not inter-
changeable at par disappears from cir
culation. The result--lock at the
present Russian and German monetary
systems.
"standpatters refers to our national
credit standing, which, as he says, is
the highest in the world; but paper
money cannot be issued backed By
faith only.
It is trne we have sone 100000
600 Of greenbacks in circulation now,

Those Two Giant Si,ins

To win the great feet Of ships
which America needs Americans
must begin not only passively to
see the need of ships but actively
to work for them. They must learn
to think ships. They must begin to
talk them just as all New York
talked ships back in the days Of the
great clippers those magnificent
Sos when the American fiag ruled
all seven seas and there were no
ships to compare with our great
merchantmen in cargoes, spread of
canvas or speed.
That is the angle from which the
announcement Of two 70,0o0-ton
ships, projected by American capital
lists in the event that the shipping
bill becomes law, is first Of all to
be viewed. 1t is not one whit less
important than the economic status
of such leviathans. Expert opinion
has run strongly against the biggest
ships as unwieldy units. Perhaps it
will ultimately turn the scales
against this project. But in any
event the proposal is welcome news
of the power and resolve of Ameri-
can capitalists to restore our flag
to the seas once the nation supports
their efforts as other nations sup
port their fleets.
Such ships would be standing
call to the sea the country over.
they would fire the imagination of
the farmer boy in Kansas, of the
miner in Pennsylvania. Our travels
ing public would take patriotic in
terest in the perennial trans Atlantic
contest. Such leadership apon the
most conspicuous of routes might
we'll be the turning point in pre-
pairing America to shift it's gaze sea-
ward after half century of in
ternal development. These are among
the facts which it would be neces
sary for the Shipping Board to con-
slider in passing upon the payment
OF subsidy to such vessels. In any
broad, farseeing plan for the de-
velopment of our feet it might well
be that the building of two such
boats would be prudent and profit
able step, even though operated at
considerable cost. Discretion to con-
slider all these questions and grant,
withhold or increase subsidy would
be reposed in the board by the ship
ping bill now pending
The passage of that bill is con-
dltion precedent to any action of
Iea pitalists. 1t would not mean that
the building of these two great ships
would be necessarily approved. 1t
would mean that if in broad view
OF the problem their keels would
promote the welfare of the whole
carrying trade of the nation there
would be the money and the agencies
to see that they were promptly laid
Gown.

insect destructiysness has been pro-
vided in the timber work of the roof
of Westminster Hall. That wonder

than its bark, For in the course of
centuries it ate the heart out Of the

Oddments and Renainders

A 'ABLES from London say that the
- Majestic has sailed for New York
with 2,17s passengers in her cargo, in
Guiding Samuel Untermyer, Frank A.
Vanderlip and Miss Mabel Normand.
In case you are one OF those who study
conditions abroad through wharf in
terviews with the returned travellers,
this announcement lis replete with
promise. Within a day or two we
shall hear more news of noisy world.
The American, home coming from his
errands to foreign ports, is a her
aid, rich in fruitful tidings, and he is
not averse to sounding them as he ar
rives upon the quay.
We learn from him, as he docks him
self, that the smoke of prosperity is
sues from pottery chimneys hard by
Niederbieber in Germany; and that the
sleek cattle on fertile farms near
Munich are fat with milk and beef
steaks. Or that in Bonn an underfed
child was seen, and that despair was
prevalent among some of the inhabi-
tants Of Halle and Cologne. The aim
less, insect gestures of the German
mark, the vermin of finance, are de-
scribed; and the rudeness of writer's to
Americans in the Hotel Adlon. The
French are advised to seize the Ruhr,
and if they do so, we learn from the
voyagers, Trotzky will be annoyed.
America must intervene with her heal
ing, human embrocations; America must
keep out because she is a bewildered hick
among the wiser and the graadier peo-
pies.
The Baroness d'Erlanger, nee Roche,
of New York, is pictured to us in her
