Evening World has differed with the Subway Sun from time to time. But on the issue of full use of the parks and playgrounds in and near the city we are in complete accord. ‘The change in tone affords an excellent example of the difference between propaganda and legiti- mate advertising. As this paper pointed out, it was hardly fair to carry on a campaign for higher fares which the straphangers did not want, and require the strap- hangers to pay for the writing, printing and circu- lating of the Subway Sun. paper” came directly out of receipts which the com- pany claimed were too small to meet expenses. ‘Whining Subway Suns did nothing to increase the number of passengers or the receipts of the com- pany.

PEACE IN THE CLOTHING TRADE? A SPLIT in the ranks of the Clothing Manufac- turers’ Association paves the way for a sep- arate peace agreement with the Amalgamated Cloth- ing Workers after six months of warfare. Nearly three-quarters of the members of the em- ployers’ organization have abandoned William A. Bandler and Harry A. Gordon, the piime movers dp.the effort to break the union. Bandler and a minority of the clothing makers propose to stick it out and have no dealings with the Amalgamated. When the trouble started, the Amalgamated charged bad faith and trickery by a small inside group of employers who misled their associates. The break in the ranks of the employers lends credibility to the union charges. Several of the employers have been fighting the union in the courts. One or more suits seek the dissolution of the Amalgamated because of its revo- lutionary and un-American character. Some of the employers who have pressed these charges are re- maining in the association and are ready to negoti- ate with the unionists. It will be interesting to discover how and when these firms have discovered that the union has changed and become more peace- ful, or more “American.” The probable reason for the break is that busi- ness is picking up and promises to improve. Hav- ing failed to break the union, the employers are teady to do business on any basis that promises profit. berry’s election to the Senate is even more pertinent now than before the Supreme James M.

A MBASSADOR HARVEY’S _ brass-knuckled punch at the League of Nations seems to have been welcomed in England on the ground that it’s a good thing for the American Anti-League contingent to say and do their darnedest arfd get it out of their systems. Nevertheless, no knockout has been scored to date on the old question which comes back strong as ever. As the London Daily, News restates it: “The United States will have nothing to do with the greatest organization ever created for the fulfilment of the League's high purposes, and this not because America disapproves any one of the objects of the League, but because her people, at the last election, gave a de cisive yote against the party of one of the League's chief founders, “Ig this policy or politics? If the latter, is it domestic politics or international?” . These are queries which History is going to take up, reiterate and dwell upon until the Republican Party in the United States of America wishes it had never been born. Without one constructive alternative to offer in place of the existing League, a Republican Admin- istration has gone on professing the precise purpases of the League almost in the words of the covenant itself, at the same time rejecting the League on the pretense that the whole people of the United States is vitally interested in prolonging a piece of party spite. If a majority of America’s citizens were to accept Col. Harvey's rating of their motives, before, dur- ing and since the war, this Republic might as well write itself down a hypocritical, self-seeking Nation that has no use for ideals save as camouflage for its selfish aims, and that is always ready to put itself in the hands of the party that promises to be least scrupulous in driving international bargains. Before the election a number of eminent Repub- licans felt the need of defending their party’s good name by declaring that President Harding would not do what others said he would do. It is high time for these eminent Republicans to try again, uriléss they are content to have a Harvey- ized Republicanism become the standard. “SILENCE AND SUBJECT ION" (1) S a postscript to the ratification of the Nine- teenth Amendment it comes as something of a shock to learn that a plebiscite of the Presby- terian Church has decided that women should be teen and not heard.
