Open The Iron Doors

The press and the consumers
of this country should unite in a
determined and relentless eff
fort to prevent protiteering in
coal prices this winter-if we
get any coal at all.
Henry Ford has taken the
lead i'm this movement and has
been promptly supported by
the city of Detroit. The coal
profiteer will find little COM
fort there. He may even find
a few prison bars.
But Detroit holds only a tiny
proposition of the coal con-
sumers of the United States.
Though they lose in Detroit. a
few dollars ton tackled onto
the price of coal throughout
the country will fitch hundreds
of millions of dollars from the
pockets of the consumers and
transfer them TO the swollen
bank accounts of the profiteers.
1t is folly to apply persuasive
methods in attempting to pre-
vent profteering. A profiteer
has no conscience, at best.

An Unlearned Lesson

Cutting the regular army to 1Oo,-
600 men has now been completed.
Learning nothing from history and
unwilling to accept the expert tes-
timony of General Pershing and
others whose main care has been
the military policy of the country,
Congress has cut the army to such
an extent that all the units are
scaled down to mere skeletons.
Trained officers and non-conmis-
stoned officers have left the service
in large numbers, and there remain
so few per unit that proper train
ing Of new recruits is made ex-
pensive and inefficient.
The bad effect of this policy upon
the morale of the army should not
be overlooked. Men who have given
their lives to training for the serv-
ice of their country find themselves
compelled to face life anew. The
same persons who FIVE years ago
called to them Defend us from our
enemies!" now spurn them and
deny them the means of preparing
the country against new emer-
gency.
Every year that Congress con-
tinues its present policy means that
the efficiency of the army will de-
cline. The costly lessons of the war,
learned by bitter experience, will be
forgotten because the means Of i'm
pressing them on coming gener-
ations are lacking. With poor
morale, with inadequate equipment,
with ineffective units, the army will
continue to cost the country great
sums and yet will be so crippled
that in the next emergency the
country again will find itself un-
prepared.

Creating a Real Waterway

The opening of the states 2,OOO,-
000-bushel grain elevator in Brook
lyn marks another step toward maxi
ing the barge canal all effective
means of transportation.
The state dug its ditch deeper, but
then found that alone it was not Of
much use. In the days of De Witt
Clinton a waterway channel was
enough, but now it is but begin
ming. There must be facilities for
loading and storage to meet modern
commercial conditions. The practi-
cal mind of Governor Miller saw
this and he has heartily and insist
emily supported expenditures for
terminals. If not impeded in his
work by Mayor Hylan he will achieve
much. The Governor believes in
keeping down wasteful public ex-
penditures so as to have money for
genuine Improvement.
incidentally, the states elevator
will be insurance against local lack
OF food supplies. The city, lacking
storage warehouses, has many times
been on the edge Of serious short
ages, Some day railway communi-
cation may be interrupted. 1t will
be comforting to know there is a
grain reserve Of third of bushel
a month within the city's limits.

There is a constructive note of
real leadership in NJ. Poincare's note
to Great Britain that is q welcome
and hopeful sign. The negotiations
and conferences over the repara-
tions problem thus far have been
conducted upon a plane of narrow
political dispute that has made any
real solution impossible. NJ. Poincare
now moves the issues up to level
whence broader outlook is to be
viewed and the chance of settlement
is correspondingly bettered.
The note presents striking con-
trast to that unfortunate note of
Mr.. Balfour's which nullified the
London conference and prevented
a settlement when settlement was
near. Mr.. Lloyd George had then
his chance to lead all Europe back
TO sanity and health and he re-
jected it. Now M. Poincare steps
into the breach and France takes
the lead
That this country win cooperate
toward the finding of truly con-
structive settlement once the small
er politics of the situation are for
gotten cannot be doubted. 1t has
been an open secret that Mr.. Hard
ing was but awaiting the propitious
hour to play his part. That hour
seems now near at hand.

Freedom Of the Seas
Spokesman for Equal Treatment of
All Flags in All Ports
To the Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The ship subsidy bill is SUBJ
jected to a broadside by "The Edin-
burgh Review whose detonations
should be heard even in the sacrosanct
vaults of Capitol Hill, Washington.
The revival of credit and commerce
will not be brought about, declares
"The Review" by restricting the free
dom Of the ocean freight markets, nor
by preventing the people of other coun-
|; tries from paying for American goods
with whatever services they can rem
der. "The dilemma is complete, and
arises from ignoring the plain fact
that trade between nations is interns-
tional."
The writer, c. Ernest Fayle, is ''on
the target" when he urges the principle
Of "freedom of the seas, in the sense
Of equal treatment Of all flags in all
ports" If the early maritime suprem-
acy of this nation rested upon any
| firm foundation it was in this rule, in
| the submission of commerce on the
| high seas to the law of nations, which,
said Marshall, is the law of all tri-
bunals and is supposed to be equally
understood by all.
| American diplomacy was directed to
protecting the shipping Of the nation
from the monopolistic and oppressive
British navigation laws, and the
J
| treaties of that period were character
ICED by the intention to engraft into
the law Of nations new and great prin-
ciples of the freedom of ocean COM
merce. If any one has serious doubts
on that subject let him read Azuni and
the works Of the Able de GabIy, the
inspiration of all the early navigation
treaties formed by this nation.
The question for Congress and the
American people is whether aAretreat
from these great cardinal principles in
American law and foreign relations is
not being sounded. 1t will be dis
aster for the world at large" continues
"The Review" "if the power which
initiated the Washington conference
should take the lead in 8 reversion to
the system of restriction and exclusion,
which produced SO much political fric-
tion in the past"
What we need for our shipping is
cooperation between our consular and
credit agencies that will insure "re-
turn cargoes" on American bottoms,
land further advance in uniformity
of obligation and liability y-under gen
eral maritime law, and, above all, sta
bility and bermanence in those treaty
relations destined to secure ''the free
dom of the seas

The Coal Cxardonn

The hard coal operators are seek
ing what they ingeniously call a
mandate" from coal consumers be-
fore surrenderiing to Mr.. Lewis.
They ask, in effect, whether the pub
lie will condone that surrender and
by paying higher coal prices sub
scribe to sort of coal strike repara-
ton fund. Mr.. Lewis's czardom does
not have much sting to operators
who can pass it's penalties along with
interest to the real sufferers. But it
has become an intolerable menace to
every one who doesn't dig or sell
coal.
John Mitchell put the coal miners
union on its feet and made it power
IN the industry. He was a man who
easily won respect. He never wanted
to be car. He found the lot of the
miner hard and bettered it. But he
bettered by persuasion, by conyinc-
ing the pubic that 1t should be bet
tered to the benefit of all concerned.
he relied upon the sympathy of those
outside the industry. He welcomed
arbitration III which the public
should have deciding voice. He
had enough faith in the justice of
his cause to submit it to the sense of
fair play of coal consumers as well
as coal operators.
That was long ago. Mr.. Lewis has
enlarged and consolidated the power
of the miners union. He has nour-
ished it on ideas of coercion rather
than persuasion. He was so pos
sessed by the gospel Of force that he
encouraged private nnion war last
