eastern Thrace. He pushed the south
ern boundary of Bulgaria back be-
yond Adrianople TO where il was
before the Balkan war. BY the
treaty OF Sevres the Turks again lost
eastern Thrace. The whole country
from Adrianople to Chatalja and
Dekos, that is, to within twenty miles
ot Constantinople, including Gallipoli
and the northern shore of the Sea OF
Marmora, was ceded to Greece. /.
To kEMAL eastern Thrace would
mean an actual hold in Europe. 1t
would form a background for the
outer defenses of Constantinople at
Chatalja; it would give the Turk
something more than the peninsula
upon which Constantinople is situ-
ated. Besides. the possession of
Thrace would place in his grasp the
substance for repeating the Turks
former deal with Bulgaria, deal
which would open up the coveted
Martha Valley to the Bulgarians and
furnish them port on the Aegean.
Possibly KEIAL likes the Bulgars as
little as he likes the Greeks. But he
knows that such concession would
increase the hereditary enmity be-
tween Greek and Bulgar to the point
of aligning the Balkan nations into
two warning camps. The Turk
tbrives on the quarrels of his Chris
tian neighbors.
What the racial composition of
eastern Thrace is at present is not
material to KEMAL. III his army
can spread over the country it win
be Turkish. Adrianople will be
Turkish.

Surrender to the Turks.

Unless the Turk is resolved to in
dulge an Unsuitable thirst Of his
armies for cutting Christian throats
in vast multitudes while sacking and
burning great cities of commerce,
there is no need now for him to
carry formal war into Europe. He
does not have to fight for the Eu-
ropean territory. the fortified strong
holds. the peoples and sovereignty he
wants. The Allied Powers offer these
gifts to him on gold platter. They
Deseech him to be good enough and
gracious enough to take ii all. That,
and nothing less, is what the note OF
the Allied Powers TO .MUsTAPHA
KEMAL Pasha does.
The note promises that the Allied
Powers will put themselves out OF
Constantinople so that the Turk may
supplant them and resume the gov
ernment there. The neutral zone
will 20 back to him. The sovereignty
of the Straits of the Dardanelles will
be his. Eastern Thrace will be
thrown Uneven Adrianoplc.
The Allied Powers will relieve the
Turk Of his favorite occupation OF
sitting on and squashing the Greeks
il they resent the return of the Sick
Man Of Europe. And II the Sick
Man of Europe will amiably consent
tc accept membership the Powers
will unanimously elect him into the
League OF Nations!
The astonished and bewildered
world is told that everything the
Turk has demanded will so back to
him on the understanding that the
freedom of the Straits Of the Darda-
Ielles will be preserved. This means
that ships of commerce may sail this
and other Turkish waters between
the Mediterranean and the Black Sea
unattached and untrammeled even in
times of war. And the astonished
and bewildcred world will recall that
the straits were free before the war
which burst over Europe eight years
ago. but after that conflict began and
even before Turkey was swept into
I il. the freedom OF the Straits OF the
Dardanelles vanished in the mist
Neither ships Of peace nor ships o.
war could pass the straits. where
I british and Australian blood ran in
rivers while Russia, the great Tight
ing Power of the Allies in the East
was strangled.
SO while the Turk, if lie can be
satisfied with such pleasant amuse-
ments. may now prepare to lead his
troops through the streets OF Con-
stantinople in torchlight parade n
r.ace of marching them against Eu-
ropean guns barring his return to
the explosive Balkans, those unhappy
States and the rest of Europe may
begin to count the days till the next
world war

armed as a protection against the sub
marine.
IT is understood here that the proposal.
informal though il was, for the three
major Powers carrying out the terms OF
the naval limitation agreement whatever
course France and Italy took came first
from Japan. Baron Kato, who headed
the Japanese delegation in Washington,
has since then become Premier. If any
thing, his Government is more COM
mitted TO naval limitation than was\ the
Government OF Premier Hara.
Within brief period the Japanese
Parliament will be making up the budget
for the next fiscal year and japanese
spokesmen here declare that Premier
Kato is bent on effecting the reduction
in naval cost which the stoppage of con-
struction and, the junking of ships will
render possible. They also assert that
the outbreak OF jingoism which came in
Japan Immediately after the conference
has been completely submerged by the
general approval by the people Of the re-
duction program. On the whole they
declare the sentiment is now such that
Premier kato is anxious to take advan-
tage OF it.
1t Is believed probable that the feeler
for the three Powers garnering the fruits
of the conference. irrespective of what
the other two parties to the naval agree
ment did, was sent out for the purpose
of stirring France to action. French
statesmen for several months have been
ma king a play for the support or the
United States in the various differences
between France and Great Britain on
matters of European policy. 1t has been
intimated to France in various ways that
nothing would alienatc the sentiment or
this country or this Government more
than the continued placing of obstacles
in the way Of ratification of the Wash
ington treaties. the first essay OF the
Harding Administration in foreign poll
tics.
In view OF the fact that France. If not
or the verge OF bankruptcy. is at least
working on the ragged edge OF the
financial ledger none of the three major
Powers is particularly afraid OF her en-
tering on a big naval bNilding program.
1t is agreed here, and Great Britain and
Japan take the same view, that France
could no. build any considerable ton
mage without getting loan abroad for
the purpose.
it goes without saying that such a
loan could not be raised in the United
States. Great Britain or Japan, and these
are the only countries where money Is
available for loans. Hence the feeling
or the major naval Powers Is that they
can well afford 10 proceed to naval re-
duction after giving France an opportu-
nifty to consider the situation.

Revising Bad Tariff Rates.

One Of the things that will make
work and trouble for the President
as tariff rate reviser under the new
powers conferred upon him by Con-
gress will be the determination of the
different costs of production here and
abroad. The tariff commission, it is
announced, is to 60 after the facts.
Then will come the task of readjust-
ing rates, where there is need, by
Executive action to equalize domes-
tic and foreign production costs.
But still more complicated and
at the same time all important ques-
ton to determine is whether various
domestic costs of production are al
together too high to be tolerateH. If
the tariff must always be boosted to
conform with the domestic cost of
production-as compared with the
foreign cost of production-there can
be nothing in the way OF foreign
competition to induce American pro-
ducers to get their production costs
down or even to try to keep them
from going up. AS the costs of the
producer go up the price to the con-
sumer will go UP, and the American
public will be the victim OF a new
theory in tariff making-that the
thing to do is to protect costs and
prices whether they are reasonable or
whether they are unreasonable.
1t was never the aim of the Amer
ican tariff system to keep up prices,
although they might be sky high. The
principle and the practice OF the for
mer tariff acts centered upon the
object of enabling American indus
tries having a rightful place in our
economic system to exist and to op-
crate under fair competitive condi-
tions that would stimulate domestic
PRODUCERS to find ways and means to
get both their costs and their prices
down wherever and whenever there
vas a chance.
The work OF readjusting bad tariff
schedules never can be soundly done
by a Congress, tariff commission
or anybody else unless the fact is
always kept in mind that the Ameri-
can consumer must be protected from
insufferable domestic prices while the
American producer is being pro-
tected from insufferable foreign COM

Now for the Coal Problem.

In the long look into the far future
of the country Congress left in the
hands OF the President nothing of
bigger import than the act providing
for the so-called fact finding commits
sion to go into the national coal sit
uation with view to the reorgani-
zation OF the whole industry.
And one of the best things about
this piece Of legislation is that no
restrictions were put upon the Ex-
ecutive as to the men he may appoint
TO the commission He is free to
pick the seven members from any
field where he may find the best ma
terial. And only the best should be
licked. Nothing else will do.
This is a real mans job and to
get it done in the right way for the
coal mine owners, the coal mine
workers and the coal consuming pub
lie the President will need to get
for the commission the soundest,
strongest and ablest men in the coun-
try. He will be justified in drafting
them into this service to the nation.
The findings of the commission will
90 to the coal industry aud to the
Government merely as conclusions
and recommendations But If the
men on the commission dig out and
present the facts as the right caliber
OF men can dig out and present the
facts. il they stand squarely on the
issue of what must be done to re-
i;eve the nation ofincessant brawls
among coal employers and employees
and TO Ssssnres, the nat ION sofs san ade7
quate fuel supply at reasonable prices
If they put into the work what the
needs of the country demand they
put into their work. the American
PEOPLE will back them up so solidly
that neither short sighted coal op-
orators and labor union leaders nor
intriguing politicians can long delay
the rescue of the coal industry from
economic anarchy
The readers of THE NEW York
HERALD are familiar with it's sugges-
tions of a plan to solve this great ma
tional problem permanently. These
suggestions are to zone the mines IN
!. few great operating groups, under
private ownership and management,
but under Government sanction and
control, with the fat mines helping
to carry the lean mines, employment
made regular and prices reasonably
stabilized. The coal commission, If
properly timbercd, can make the ma
tion see the merit and the necessity
oil that plan or similar, perhaps
better, plan based on those principles
which mnst inevitably govern the
settlement OF this grave economic
and political question.
When the right kind of commits
sion does put that question up to the
nation in the form and with the force
it ought to be and can be put up to
the nation the question will be by
way of being solved.

Kemal and Eastern Thrace.

Eastern Thrace, the return of when
TO the Turks is part of the bargain
offered by the Allied Powers, has i'll
this way been lifted into a proml-
nence almost equal to that OF Con-
stantinople and the Turkish straits.
1t is prominence to which her
history, her situation and her possi-
bilities as the seat OF Balkan unrest
end warfare entitle her in the pres
ent crisis.
ErMAL is as insistcnt in his de-
mands for the occupation Of this land
as he is for the return of the Turk
to any other of the controverted
points. II must be remembered that
here the Greek still remains an
enemy in arms and that in Thrace
the Greco-Turkish war yet survives.
Could KEMAL throw his army, flushed
With its success at Smyrna, into
Thrace. he would very likely break
down by weight OF numbers the rem
nant of the Greek forces and put the
finishing touches TO his victory.
He would thus leave no question
MS TO what Power is in actual pos
session OF eastern Thrace. He would
have no need to trouble himself about
tue problem Of how much time should
he given to the Greeks to cvacuate

Thracc has long been subject Of

Then Greece and Bulgaria fought for

Perhaps no person ever knew exactly
which Of these nations had a pre-

inhabitants Of the country. When

A Fine Tennis Season.

graduating itself not only on its

TuprY I'd of Philadelphia remains

sroN. who defeated him on Saturday
ir the East-West matches, close
rival: the Yankee team again holds

pressing them closely. True, there
was a fly in the ointment-the little
unpleasantness which surrounded the
meeting Of Mrs. MoLI.A MALLoRY and
lille. SUZANNE LESGIES of France, but
that. after all. was insignificant.
Perhaps more important to Aperi-
can tennis than the victories over
foreign players is the remarkable in

Irrespective Of the attitude of France
and Italy it is the disposition OF the
United States. Great Britain and Japan
TO proceed with the carrying out OF the
Washington treaties for the reduction OF
naval armaments.
That this policy is favored by the
three Powers in spite of the delay in ac-
ton on the treaties by France and Italy
has been assured by informal exchanges.
The feeling Of the three Governments Is
that the fruits or the conference can be
garnered IL the three principal parties
to the naval agreement proceed with the
reduction program.
The putting into effect or the treaty
for naval limitation has been held up
for some months due to the failure or
France to take action. Italy also has
held back, but her spokesmen declare
this was only because the Government
is loath to. accept the LIS ratio allotted
TO Italy SO long as there is any doubt of
France coming in.
The treaty has been before COM
mittee of the French Parliament for
several months. The principal excuse
given for delay is that the Parliament
was not in session. When it meets In
october the Governments of the United
states, Great Britain and Japan will ex-
pect action from it on the Washington
treaties.
While there is little doubt that ulti-
mately the French Parliament WIN ratify
the treaties, this Government feels that
the delay has already proved an un-
favorable reaction throughout the world.
Assuming that France ratifies. two
reservations unacceptable to the other
powers are proposed. Ratification with
these would be equivalent to rejection. it
is declared here. First Il is proposed
to stipulate that Frances ratio of capi-
tai ships be increased from LIS to 20
as against the sos ratio OF the major
naval Powers Second, France proposes
new definition Of a merchant ship.
holding that only vessels which arc en-
tirely unarmed shall enjoy this classifl-
cation in the future.
This last point was bitterly contested
during the conference proceedings,
France losing all along the line. To ac-
cept it now would be too much to ex-
pect, particularly from Great Britain,
for whose embarrassment the reserva-
tion is very plainly intended. The Brit
ish representatives in the conference
were the principal contenders for the
privilege OF commerce carriers to be
