14. 1922. Hf THE HOUSE OF ITS FRIENDS. Memories and records would be searched In rain to find a parallel for amazing disfavor with which the Senate Tariff bill has been received by hitherto unwavering- protectionists. Never has a measure of the kind had such a bad press." Republican news-.

papers are not merely cold to It. they are bitterly hostile. Thus The New Tork Herald roundly asserts that It makes for higher living costs In eve home in America." and completely shuts America out of foreign markets." This is firing both barrels at once. And what are we to think of The Tribune interviewing prominent Republicans and placing- at the head of its reports of their opinions the caption Business Chiefs 'Call New Tariff Bill a Blunder It hardly seems necessary for the Democrats to plan a hard fight upon a Republican bin which Republicans are denouncing and threatening to tear to pieces. GENOA AND THE CURRENCIES.

The tentative proposals for European economic reconstruction have been unfolded at Genoa gradually. They cannot be described even as a complete outline of procedure; they are. in fact, made up mostly of general principles In line with vhlch the subsequent discussion of details should proceed. The committee's report sets forth that no effort at arbitrary control or regulation of the foreign exchange rates would be either wise or practicable. The' work of reform must be directed at the depreciated paper currencies.

To correct or check depreciation, the prime essential is to balance public expenditure with pub- lie revenue and stop printing paper money to meet recurrent deficits. AH this is quite beyond dispute; con troversy will begin only when discussion turns to ways and means, to the machinery of budget-making and currency reform. Germany, for instance, declares the balancing of her public expenditure with revenue to be impossible, not only because of reparations payments, but because prices, and therefore cost of govern ment, are rising, with the deprecla tdon of the mark, much faster than even normal taxation can be in creased thus in her judgment making further issue of paper money Indis pensable to foot the bill. In a single week of March there was added to Germany's paper currency more than four times as much as the total amount outstanding when the war be. gan.

Many people would reply that the German Government, like all Gov ernments which have resorted to the Intoxicating pleasure of flat money, is creating the very conditions of which It complains so bitterly. Tet even with Germany wide difference of opinion must arise as soon as details of procedure are discussed. The Genoa committee has' thus far evidently striven to avoid such dis putes. Jt enunciates the very gen eral principle that restoration of the paper currencies to a gold basis In-ferentlally with immediate or pro spective return to gold redemption on demand is the necessary goal. In what appears to be language of the most tentative sort, it states that the question of fixing a new gold parity for the monetary unit will have to be considered.

But this opens tho basic controversy. The Instant the problem is debated. two vehemently opposed schools of economic reasoning will take a hand- that which believes in scaling down the currency until It bears some practicable ratio to an obtainable gold reserve, and that which believes in scaling down' the gold content of the 1 standard coin until the actual amount of gold required to establish a redemption fund would be of small propor tions. Lloyd George In his speech to Parliament did not tell us which ex pedient be meant when he talked of revaluation." Even Professor Cas ski. and his disciples, while strenuous ly advocating the degradation of the gold value of the currency unit, have failed to tell us what new valuation they propose.

A few months ago one of the more. daring' English advocates of the scheme urged its application to the pound sterling end proposed that the gold in the British sovereign Instead of being left at a value of should be reduced to the value prevailing at the time for the British pound on the New York exchange market, which was about J3.G3. As It happened, the rate for sterling thereupon proceeded to advance of its own accord to $4.44, leaving the English devaluation Ists the laughing-stock of LombarJ Street. But that Is not likely to deter them from insisting on their remedy for the mark, the crown or the ruble. The Genoa conference is wise in ap proaching this question with deliberation.

Its spirit ot caution is further shown in the committee's intimation, through Its Chairman. Sir Robert Horne. that the matter might per haps be best considered by another special conference of the world's great banks of issue. Including the American Federal Reserve. Whether that expe dient Is or is not favored, the delegates at Genoa must soon attack the general problem.

THE BAIT THAT FAILED. What is sadder to the fisherman's heart than to see his best fly refused? Mr. Copley of the Eleventh Illinois District and Mr. of the Six teenth Illinois District, dear Republican friends of the bonus, have been beaten In the primaries. Mr.

Coplet Is serving his sixth term. He is a member of the Ways and Means Committee. Mr. Ireland is a farmer as well as a lawyer. Even his sacredness as a member of the former class couldn't save him.

It would not be safe to try to allot the order in importance of the issues that determined a majority of the Republican voters to turn out these sitting members. Much Is made of Wets and Drys. and the latter are said to have been eaten. Mr. Copley, as an old hand, must have made rivals and enemies.

and the fact that the spoils are few and the seekers many doubtless con tributed to his downfall. One account asserts that workingmen and farmers were largely opposed to him because of the general dissatisfaction and uncertainty about agricultural and Indus trial conditions. The one fact tfarat emerges clearly is that the. bonus made no earthly difference in the political fortunes of the two men who lost re-nomination. The former service men, to whom the bonus was said to be the greatest thing on earth, didn't stand by their supposed benefactors.

The vote of the Republican service men appears to have been divided. So that the cardinal policy, the. issue of issues. the vote-gathering bonus, seems to have figured about as much in the result of the primary campaign as. say, the subject of barge canals for the red planet Mars.

The one object of the Bonus bill is to insure the re-election of Representatives. If it can't even renominate them, what's the use of it? "The buf feting of Mr. Coplet and Mr. must worry all the devotees' of the bonus myth in Congress. If a bonus won't renominate you, good-bye to it! When the fish won't bite, change the bait.

The profound silence about the bonus that has enveloped Washington for weeks seems to denote something almost like a process of thought on the part of Congressmen, When the primaries have spoken, will the bribe be seriously revived? Imagine the ribald laughter at the llivnr'a i "evrxmse which will run v- 1 through the ranks of the policemen and firemen whose salary increases Mr. Htlan had virtuously vetoed Now he has got his, they will chuckle Hut no mischance of this kind can make the citizens of New think less highly of Mayor Htlakt than they did before. If he were td take the Governor's hint and refer 3the matter to the Board of Aldermerii that dis cerning and appreciative body would undoubtedly vote him a saliry of 000. instead of J1S.000. Even then unhannilv.

there would remain the legal point made so maliciously by Governor Miller that any change made shall apply only td the sala-" ries of the successors of fhe present Incumbents." Oh. Interests," you have triumphed! if TO LICENSE TICKET AGENTS In spite of legal doubts; Governor Miller decided to give a chance to the Walton bill licensing theatre ticket agentsxand limiting to 50 cents the advance In price charged for each ticket. The provision for, licensing he regards as undoubtedly const! tutional. Question arises oi the provi sion limiting the agent's fee. The case has some features In com mon with the Colgate case, by the United States Supremi Court In 1910.

The defendant, a manufacturer of toilet articles, was charged with creating an unlawful combination by procuring adherence; on the part of dealers to resale prices fixed the defendant." The fcourt sus talned the manufacturer, refusing to restrict his right freely to exercise his own "Independent discretion as to the parties with whom he will deal. and to announce in advance the cir cumstances under which jhe will re fuse to sell." In the recently decided Beechnut case, the machinery for enforcing fixed prices was shown to be more com plicated and to involve a more definite combination of interests. court decided against the defendant; but three of the Justices vigorously dis sented. among them Justice McRetn olds, who nad written tne Colgate decision. The Walton bill would seem to authorize a combination among managers and theatre owners; but, as Governor.

Miller points -out. It de clares that the subject-matter Is af fected wlth 'a public interest," and Its obvious purpose is to curb an un doubted abuse." There Is thus a chance" that the courts will declare the imposed upon the bootleggers of the theatre ip be alto- and THE GOVERNOR AND THE MAYOR. Mayor Htlan is too innocent-minded for this wicked world of politics. Simple faith being his only skill. It never occurred to him to suspect the motives of a Republican Legislature ostentatiously bearing him the gift of an addition of 110.000 to his salary.

This naturally appeared to him merely as an unfeigned tribute to his extraordinary public services. And when unselfish admirers thronged the City Hall to urge him to sign the bill In-creasing his salary, he could not resist their pleadings. Though he admitted with them that it was impossible to place a money value upon his indefatigable work in behalf of the poor of this city, he perceived the desirability of removing worldly cares from a public official like himself and cheerfully signed the bill. Then, too late for his unsuspicious nature, came the Governor's veto. And such a veto! The Governor de clared, without the flicker of an eye lid in the direction of the City Hall, this bill is a plain violation of the principle of home rule." Thus was the great home rule Mayor hit hard on tl-e sensitive nerve of his pocket.

Still more cruelly. Governor Miller cited the section of the City Charter which makes It the duty of the Board of Aldermen to pass upon salary In creases, and did not fall to under score the specific provision that no change shall be made in the salary of an elected officer or head of a d. 1 partment during his tenure of office." All this smacks of another con spiracy against the Mayer, The de sign wat to mortify and humiliate him. gether fair due." To hold that all productions on Broadway are affected with a pub lic interest would delight; the man agers. Fortunately, the Walton bill makes no 'such declaration; It only holds that the theatre as an institution is of vital concern to the public.

proposition to which all liberal spirits assent. Few nuisances have ever equaled the ticket speculator in dogged persistence and agility in elud ing justice. He is the greased pig of culprits. No less than the- playgoer. the manager has reason to abhor him.

for he does more to alienate the public than anything except bad plays. If the Walton bill succeeds In curbing his nefarious practices, there will be rejoicing well-nigh universal. SENTENCED TO DIE." The annual report of the Near East Relief to Congress shows that up to Dec. 31, 1021. thef American contributions for the relief of the peo ples In the Near East amounted to more than $00,000,000.

it was stated by the Hon. Walter George Smith, former President of the American Bar Association, before the Committee on Foreign Affairs it Congress last month that, as nearly as could be estimated. 20,000.000 individuals had "made contributions to this fund. In addition to the large contribution made by one man toward the expenses of adminis tering this enormous relief undertaking. Fifty millions of dollars from twenty million Americans gives Amer ica a rightful interest In tie fate of those whom these gifts have rescued, for the time being, from starvation or other misery and even romdeath.

This interest must show ftself prac tically In two ways: first, by continuing our American contribution for the saving of the children, seeing to it, as the appeal of yesterday puts it, that the sentence of death shall not be passed upon these hundred thousand children; and, second, by asking our Government to take some action that will bring afresh to the conscience ot the Western nations the moral obligation that Is upon all to prevent the blotting out of a Christian race which is now wandering homeless near the birthplace of Western civilization. There has been introduced in Congress a resolution which, Is still In the Committee oh Foreign Affairs of the House, asking that moral protest be made against the persecution of the Armenian and other Christian peoples, and that the President be requested. If not Incompatible with public interest, to take up with Great Britain, France and Italy the question of calling a conference fori the purpose of considering methods by which the Armenians may have opportunity to establish themselves as a nation, The twa things are essential giving and, protesting, eee has a tight to protest! who doesn't give, however little, and no one should be content to give and not also to protest. If twenty millions were to do both Immediately, send contributions and write to their respective Congressmen, the'r giving and' writing would not only save a hundred thousand children or more from the sentence to die before another Easter, but also' undoubtedly lead to the resurrection of this little nation, which deserves to live. A GREAT AVIATOR'S DEATH.

Captain Sir John Alcock, who, with Lieutenant Brown, made a hazardous flight across the Atlantic from Newfoundland to Ireland, met bis death In the valley of the Seine while flying at a moderate height. An even greater aviator. Sir Ross Smith, the hero of a flight of 11,500 miles from England to Australia, was killed yesterday whlle testing an airplane in which he had planned to circle the globe." Both 'Alcock and Smith were veterans of the war and had few, if any, equals as pilots. Captain Alcock wa. an aviation Instructor as well as an army fller.

Both men were noted for their coolness and dexterity, yet each of them lost control of his machine in some unaccountable way. It Is said of the Australian aviator. whose brilliant career in the sir endd on the eve of what was to be th supreme test of the man and the ma chine, that he never took chances beyond the necessary ones." In hi voyage to Australia he was never ap parently In danger when flying from Cairo to India, across Siam and Java and over many leagues of sea to Port Darwin. Even In a forced landing In the Jungle near Surabaya Sir Ross and his brother. Sir.

Keith Smith, in curred no Injury and their plane was not damaged. If their skill was of a high order, their luck was remark able. They had to depend upon their own mechanical knowledge In an emergency! At Brooklands. where Sir Ross Smith went up yesterday for the last time, there were some of the test mechanicians In England at his call and a pilot of the Vickers Company had made a preliminary flight and given the machine the usual test Such accidents are seldom explained to the satisfaction of the experts themselves. Loss of control is the judgment generally pronounced.

The conclusion must be that the airplane is a sensitive and erratic machirte which on occasions baffles the most alert and resourceful pilot. film stars are not a particular and special class of people. They include all kinds, and. while it is certain that their decision will not be unanimous, there Is at least a chance that the majority will be In his favor. will seem a rather terrible thing to the minority.

DRINKING IN PUBLIC.

He Happened to Think of the Men! BY THE CELLAR DOOR. Senator Borah's remarks In the Senate on America and the League were spoken with a heavy reart, as by a general army is deserting hlri. This Administration cannot for a moment be considered as an anti-League Administration. The first step has been taken, the second is close at hand, and the third will be entry into the Council and Assembly of the Leagae." As might have been and no doubt was ex pected. this fire alarm brought out a great deal of red-painted apparatus.

and much assurance that the Senator was overwrought. What have we to do with broad? wen, senator lodge, a personage not unknown in connection with con troversies over the League, yesterday introduced a. resolution that the United States favors the establish ment in Palestine of a homeland for the Jewish people. This looks very much like one of those Old World con troversies which Senator Borah views with alarm. So it is; but it may have a considerable bearing on a certain New World controversy concerned with the re-election of Henrt Cabot Lodge.

Republican opposition to the League, with a Presidential election In sight, was conditioned not so much on America's horror Old World en tanglements as on the presence cf Old World entanglements in America. However, as Governor Cox has pointed out. some of those Involve ments are likely soon to disap pear. When Ireland and Germany are in the League of Nations. no very large part of the Irish and German vote in this country can be expected to be cast against the League.

And then Republican statesmen may be expected to follow the lead of Senator Lodge, dauntless champion of Fiume and Palestine, In allowing themselves to be enmeshed In on! such European entanglements as can be counted on for votes.

The writer of tne article la so unlike most sons of Adam that. Instead of fixing his attention ex clusively on feminine sins and follies, real and Imaginary, he Insists that.

If wutnen have changed since the war, men have changed no less, and he cannot see why thev are escaping not only denuncl' a Hon. but even admonition. To prove that women have changed for the worse, he says, there Is no definite or statis tical Information available. He admits, however, that even to the a- ft.1 1 rajiual oDserver mere is viuuib al teration in them. His own inclination is toward the be lief that there has been no loss or morality by women that they simply have become more indifferent to social opinion regarding their conduct.

It is this indifference." he says. rather than a marked change in their manner of living, which has brought attention to the sex In the past few years." Then he adds: "A similar Infllfference on the part of, men. has not been remarked simply because man always has been arrogantly nonchalant in his breaches of the moral law. Besides, man's Immorality, for some strange reason, never has been regarded as a source of social danger." One seems to remember several references In the past to man's wickedness as socially perilous, but It Is easy to see what the medical person la driving at and to appreciate the gratitude which the flapper and her elder sister should feel toward him for his defense- his attempt to be fair. Nuisance.

A controversy of a Venerable, kind rare in this coun but try, but common enough in Europe, has risen between the people Irv ing In the little Spanish city of Lugo and the Government authorities in Madrid. Lugo happens to be very old and the walls built around It In Roman days are still standing, much to the Incon venience of Its residents. Interfering with natural growth and making communication with the suburbs difficult. So they recently decided to tear the walls down. Thereat, of course, there was a loud outcry from Spaniards living elsewhere.

Having no real estate or business interests In Lugo, they were deeply pained by the proposed demolition of a historic monument, and they had Influence enough to get a royal order forbidding If. This duplicates In small what so often has happened in large throughout Europe, and the Romans have been denounced with special frequency and bitterness for insisting that theirs Is a modern city, as well as an ancient one. and that it cannot go 1 on forever being a mere museum for the edification of migratory foreigners. I Even here In New York there have been a few conflicts between the progress of events and respect for the past and Its relics, with the inevitable shouts of Vandals answered with pleas of present necessity or comfort or profit The latest dispute of this kind Is over the Battery sea wall, threatened by the proposed enlargement of our Aquarium. That however, la a maxter too small to cause excitement In any large circle.

Since that little park was desecrated by the elevated road, further happenings to it will not do much harm.

Kither of two con clusions can be drawn from the refusal by the managers of the International Sunday School Convention to be held ln Kansas City next June to let that always elo quent orator. William Jennings Bstan. deliver the principal address to the delegates He Is too orthodox, which from one point of view Is impossible, or the convention authorities are not orthodox enough, which from another also is not to be believed.

It seems that the break has come over biblical interpretation. Mr. Bstaw stand ing for the literal truth of every scrip tural word, and his critics In the Inter national Council of Religious Education being inclined to accept In part at least the fruits of modern scholarship on this subject. The Nebraakan will not mind this re jection. It only will make him stronger with those who admire him and share his opinions.

Just as did the recent man handling he received from the evolu tionists; and his lecture fee will be in creased by the advertising of his old fnahinnd. thorough-going piety. As a capltalizer of defeat and a thriver on both denunciation and ridicule he is non pareiland. withal, an amiable, inter esting and decidedly likable personage. Coney Island Pier To the Editor of The New York Timet: In your Issue of March 31.

under the head ing Coney Pier Plan Revived." It is statee In the estimation of enslneers. said Presi dent Hulbert, the pier wui serve as a great conservr of the Coney lalanJ beach. as It wllF prevent the shifting of sand on either side of ths structure." My experience, ss ths architect of the original Iron Pier erected at Coney Island In 1879. would prove exactly the opposite. Thia nler was 1.000 feet long and built on Iron piles, allowing for the free action of the tlda through them yet as soon as the first 400 feet of.

piling was completed the water shoaled on both sides to three or four feet. The shoaling followed the progress of the piling to Its end ot ths 1.00O feet, and it was necessary, for a landing of the Coney Island steamboats, to build an additional 150 feet of wooJ piling out Into the ocean to secure water deep enough for even their shallow draught A similar experience occurred when the eld pier at Narragansett was destroyed and tho new pier built some two hundred feet out In to ths ocean, completely ruining the adjacent bathing beach by the shoaling of th. watsr and changing Of tidal currents. I would hesitate to say what might happen Coney Island ln the buildings as quoted a pier 430 feet broad extending Into the ocean 1.300 feet. In view ef my own" knowledge of what resulted from the erection of the old Iron Pier on open piling and the much smaller pier at Narraganastt, It EDWARDS-FICKEN, New Terh.
