NOT OFTEN DECLINED.

From the New York Evening Post.
william C. McAdoo is reported
to have said few days ago that If
man were offered the presidential
nomination he should not decline. 1t
was hardly necessary TO be so en-
phatic. Few men have ever declined
a nomination for President. Charles
O'Conor declined the straight Dem
ocratfc nomination in 1872, follow
ing the Democratic Endorsement of
Horace Greeley. who had been
named by the liberal Republicans
against Grant. The convention then
nominated its presiding officer.
James Lyon, who also declined. It
then renominated O'Conor and ad-
iourned. Gen. sherman is the only
man dn our history to make an alb
solutely conclusive declaration
against being drafted into the Presi-
dency. IL nominated, ne said, he
would not accept and II elected he
would not serve. Most men do not
care to go this far. They wish to
give the impression Of Indifference
TO the honor of nomination without
making II impossible to accept.

EDITORIAL OPINION

alter IT,"
From this stand Lloyd George
never receded, and eleven days lat
er De Valera accepted the Prime
Minister'S Invitation 70 a confer
ence with a view to ascertaining
how the community Of nations
known as the British Empire may
best be reconciled with Irish ma
tional aspirations" The Irish del
egation went TO Downing Street
with plenary powers. AS for the
threat of immediate and terrible
war" does anybody with a memory
imagine that such a threat would
have led Michael Collins 10 sign
something aginst his will?
Distortion OF the facts by De Va
lera will not help him here. The
facts are plain enough. Sim Fein
delegates negotiated the treaty for
Ireland and the Sim Fein Parlia-
ment ratified their action. The
Free State goes on and will keep on
in spite OF the letters OF De Valera
and the shipping young men who
are misled by his sophistry.

NelU Labels for Old Things

Capitalism, communism. or state
socialism-along one OF these roads
Russia is bound to travel. according
to Savel Hmand. whose series OF
articles on Russia's new economic
policy has just been concluded in
The Tribune. Communism, for the
present, at any rate, has been aban-
doned. Capitalism, he believes, is
improbable. There remains. there
fore. only state socialism. and this
is the road which he thinks the
Russians are now following.
But Is there any reason to believe
that the road to state socialism does
not lead on to capitalism? The
clearly defined trend in Russia has
been toward the old order. For ex-
periments and theories have been
substituted methods that in the past
proved effective. In fact. there has
been n wholesale tendency to give
new labels 10 old things. and in this
manner reintroduce the system Of
Czarist days.

A BRACE GAME

A RADICAL in Congress wants the tangible property

value Of the stocks and bonds OF the roads
Now see how that would work;
The roads have property which the Interstate Com
meroe Commission has estimated 10 be worth nearly
$40 900 0oo But under long process OF
ment regulation and government operation, tho earn
ng power Of that property has been out down to such
extent that the public will invest in the property
on a basis that represents than about $4,000
900, 900.
In other words. the government having deprecated
the property by curtailng its earning power
lment official proposes that the deprecated value
shall be taken the basis OF future
II that process continued indefinitely first
ting the earning power and then cutting the value be-
wanted the property and then cutting the
rates because Of the decreased value and more
cutting the of the decressed demand for
the stocks-well you could destroy any kind prop
erty by that process
Not many persons would can that either honest or

aftermath of Lausanne
(From the Washington Post.)

has done the same, Notwithstanding
a formidable demand in Britain for
action which would be tantamount
TO a rupture With France.
The interests OF France and Great
Britain in the Near East run along
similar lines economically, but po-
litically they have little in common.
The general relation of France and
Great Britain toward Islam is ident-
ical, but the turn OF events in the
orient subordinates the importance
OF the religious features of the Turk
ish problem. The Mohammedans
are not so hidebound as to be willing
TO go TO war on account of the sep
aration OF the sultanate from the
caliiphate. If war between Turkey
and western countries should now
ensue II will be upon a more prac-
tlcal question than religious differ
ences. France, therefore. is not con-
strained 20 stand with Britain in the
Near East The proceedings at
Lausanne seemed to show that
France was willing to make greater
concessions TO Turkey than Great
Britain was willing TO make. Now
that the conference is ended, the in.
timahon comes from Paris that fresh
negotiations will be opened with the
possibility Of a separate agreement
between Trance and Turkey.
Turkeys direct quarrel is with
Greece. The war between those
countries is not ended, but is mere
ly suspended under an armistice that
has few elements going toward the
making of peace. Turkey claims
large indemnities from Greece, and
Greece sets up a counterclaim of
reparations for damage 20 Greeks in
Asia Minor. NJ. Veizelos issues a
statement to the effect that the war
will be resumed by Greece rather
than acknowledge the Turkish
claims. Greek beligerency has been
more marked in the last few days,
so much so that both Britain and
France have sent admonitions to

reiinquishing to private initiative all
manner of occupation. Stores are
being reopened and inducements Of
fered to foreigners to invest their

the state claims a small share of the
profits.
In other words. the old cards have
been reshufied and there has been a
new deal; and, as before. the deck
has been stacked so that the aces
and other good cards fall to\a chos-
en- few. The game is played much
as in the old days. only the winning
hands are held by new people. They
altered the rules of the game to
suit their needs. but from all ap-
pearances they are gradually dis
carding the new rules and going
back to the old. A few OF their

Athens. The threat OF Turkish ag-
gressions in western Thrace hangs
over the head of Greece. The Turks
have a gendarmerie in Thrace that
is well calculated to rause apprehen-
sions among the allies, because of its
size and good equipment. The Turks
are occupying a point on the west
bank OF the Martha, contrary to the
terms of the armistice. This is re-
garded by the Greeks as the first sign
of the camers nose within the tent.
They have formally demanded with
drawal from that position.
Rumors OF Turco-soviet alliance
have been revived by the breakdown
of the Lausanne conference. II ap-
pears to be improbable that the
Turks and Russians have entered into
a hard and fast alliance which would
require one to go to war in behalf
of the other. But there is an ap-
pearance OF an understanding which
might develop into a military alli-
ance under stress of circumstances.
The uneasiness OF Poland and Rou-
mania is Palpable evidence OF the eX-
istence of a menace from the red
army. It is said that Polish and
Roumanian emissaries are at Mos
COW seeking an understanding with
the soviet leaders, and one report
has it that some Of these emissaries
are inspired from French sources,
for the purpose OF developing a
Franco-Pohsh-R Russian agreement.
Possibly this is true, inasmuch as all
sorts OF conversations are going on
in Europe. looking to amelioration Of
the situation in which the nations
find themselves. Broadly speaking,
however. the interests OF France and
soviet Russia are not easily recons
ciled. 1t is far more probable that
France and Britain will smooth
away all differences and present a
united front to Turkey and soviet
Russia, in the event OF untowaSd de-
velopments growing out OF the Near
East situation.

The breakup OF the Lausanne con-
ference has many sinister features.
1t is not only an indication OF re-
sumption of war in the Near East,
but II is evidence OF an extremely
unsatisfactory relationship between
the British and French governments.
Whether the lack of harmony in the
entente affects other large questions,
such as that of the French invasion
of the Ruhr. or the plans for extin-
guishment of interallied debts. is not
yet disclosed. Comment In the
French and British press, however.
lends strength to the growing belief
that the two great allies have agreed
that they are free to adopt indepen-
dent policies whenever and wherever
their interests seem TO require sepa-
rate action.
In some respects this development,
il It has actually occurred, would be
more discouraging than war in this
Near East. The welfare of Europe,
having been in the hands OF the
two great powers in unison with
italy, will now be precarious indeed.
IL France and Britain have reached
the parting of the ways The Paris
Matin makes the surprising state-
ment that Lord Curzon has been
seeking a pretext for rupture with
France. This statement seems TO be
without any foundation and is
shown by many facts TO be improb-
able. Great Britain had ample OPP
portunity TO break with France on
the Ruhr question, but did not do so.
on this question British policy has
been the same as that OF the Unitec
States-hands off, and strict Impair
tiality. France has had full op-
portunity to work out her policy |
Germany has used every artince to

DE VAIERA'S HOLLOW PROTEST
From the New York Herald.
In a letter which Eamon De Va
lera has sent to New York news
paper he attempts to justify his re-
lection of the Irish Free State
Government on the ground that
the Irish signers of the treaty were
bullied into agreeing 10 Lloyd
Georges terms. He declares that
under the threat of immediate
and terrible war" the British Prime
Minister compelled the signatures
OF our delegates to an impossible
treaty" De Valera goes on to say
that the dictated partition of our
country, its forced inclusion in the
British Empire, the surrender of
our sovereignty, the population Of
our declared independence, the ac-
ceptance of England's King and the
pledge Of fealty to him made civil
war inevitable sooner or later ="
II De Valera believes that the
friends OF Ireland in the United
States will swallow such an argu-
ment he must think that they have
forgotten the correspondence which
passed between De Valera and
Lloyd George in 1921, when the
terms Of the conference were dis
cuseed. After the exchange of
many letters full of diplomatic
fencing the Prime Minister on Sep
tember 19, 1921, reiterated in the
plainest of plain words the terms
on which Great Britain would con-
fer with the Sim Fein leaders:
