LARGER PRINCIPLE INVOLVED. HE birth contro! advocates have taken precisely the right course in arranging another meeting similar to that raided by the police last Sunday. For all the public has been privileged to learn, the suppression of the meeting and the arrest of the speakers at the Town Hall Sunday was a thoroughly Wisgraceful and lawless affair. At the hearing yesterday the police made no Serious effort to establish a case, Officials in the department passed the buck and the Police Commis- sioner was “out of town.” Who in the Police Department is responsible for Yhis breach of the law and the invasion of the Con- stitutional rights of free speech amd free assembly | in a lawful manner? | If the Police Department is not responsible, who | | TED Press, is? Any citizen may make a complaint or cause an arrest. If the police acted on this sort of au- | thority, why did they not make sure that the com- | plaining witness was at the trial to press the case, thereby becoming responsible for the false arrest? | The police did not wait until the speakers had \ reade a fair start. The latter had no opportunity to disseminate unlawful information. The police seem to have banned the meeting and arrested the speakers on the suspicion that something unlawful might occur if the meeting proceeded. This is an intolerable doctrine. One need not fndorse the cause for which this meeting was held to condemn most vigorously the unwarranted action of the police. The issue Sunday evening was bigger than the right to advocate birth control. It is a part of the eternal fight for free speech, free assembly and democratic govermnent. It is a principle which must always find defenders if democracy is to survive. The German Nationalist press sees only “lies, hypocrisy and dishonesty” in the American pio- posals for naval reduction. What the German press thinks will neither hurt nor hinder. A HOME RULE “BLOC” ? HERE is a serious movement under way look- ing toward the formation of a home rule “bloc” in the Legislature. Needless to say Gov. Miller will fight such a movement with all the forces he commands, includ- ing patronage and opposition to personal le; i But as practical politicians, the Republican surgents have much to gain by such « movement. As matters stand, the sentiment in the State is overwhelmingly against the Governor. If the next gubernatorial election were held now, Gov. Miller would be defeated, and he would carry down with him a great proportion of the Legislature. A “bloc” will not improve the chances of Gov. Miller. It will help the legislators in tl ty will be saved from the stigma of Millerism Gov. Miller has been an able administrator. His budget reforms have been notable, but he has gone too far in overriding not only New York Ciiy bur the up-State communities. | A home rule sentiment within the ty and the nomination of a home rule candidate is the only policy which can give the Republicans a fighting chance in the 1922 elections. The Transit Canctean is on the job to-day —which will surprise those who got it into their heads that if Mayo. ilylan weve re-elected the Transit Commission would immedia ely dis- solve into thin a in- bloc.”” NOT AN ISSUE. READER of The Evening World oriers to put us straight regarding ihe issues of the gar- ment makers’ strike. | i He says that 75 per ceni. of the members of the union are unnaturalized foreigners and impervious te American principles. They are ‘Anarehi: | ~ dialists, Bolshevists, Communisis and Sovietist: | he says, and “they are conspiring to bring the | United States into the chaos in which Russia is to- | day.” } There is a considerable measure of truth in the statement. But social opinions are not an issue in this strike. jas | Let us grant that the workers and their leaders = are extremists. The fact remains that in their deal- | ings with the employers the union leaders have not oH forced their communistic Goelnines on the em- ployers with whom bargained. Leaders such as Schlesi singer and Hillman haye re peatedly asserted their concern over the fulure ot the industries. They have recognized the principle that workers must deliver an amount of work which will enable the employers to sell goods and remain solvent. They have professed their willingness to see proof that present underproduction is ruining the industry fend to discipline slackers. This offer has not met with candor or good tai THE EVENING WORLD, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER se 15, 1921.,° The employers are contract-breakers—which is not a good American principle either. Let us grant that the garment workers are social extremists. That should not frighten any American with faith in American principles. The surest way | —the only way—to wean these un-American groups from their un-Americanism is to make sure they have a decent living standard, a fair wage and fair working conditions. Grant that the leaders of these “new unions” be- dieve in the eventual control of the industries by the workers, the fact remains that they are not agitat- ing for it now. They are concerned with maintain- ing the union which has forced the abolition of the sweatshop. In their negotiations with employers the union leaders have been “strictly business.” Growing power and responsibility in unionism has always been a conservative force. Breaking the union will not deradicalize the un-American workers who do the work that American workers refuse. Judging by all experience, the growing responsi- bility of the organizations is likely to make them less radical. NO SHUTTING THEM OUT. W HATEVER plan of publicity is agreed upon for the proceedings of the Arms Confer- ence, one thing is sure: The pace of open-throttle diplomacy set by the United States at the start will have a powerful effect. It was a pace that took away the breath of some of the older diplomats. That was to be expected. On the whole, they took it amazingly well. But that either the British or the Japanese delegates should cast away all traditions of diplomatic caution and unreservediy embrace Mr. Hughes and his naval reduction plan would be asking too much. The fact is, the older diplomacy has been whirled nearly off its feet and its steps may be mincing until it gets used to the new motion. Instead of cautious, tentative approaches toward a programine according to time-honored methods, a developed, workable plan, published to the whole world, is plumped down in front of the conferees almost before they have parted their coat-tails and settled into t} ‘1 ! The thing is unprecedented and the first instine: of the older trained diplomat is to put on a polite self-protective, not-too-enihusiastic smile while gets his breath and his bearings But he will have help in getting them. The people at home are not adepts in the diplo- matic game played according to the traditional rules. But they are remarkably quick in seeing how a definite plan fits a purpose they have at heart and in demanding action on that plan. When the delegates at V dizzy feeling they are going nol have realized it before, that this time they are sea he ington get over their to realize, as they may not so much diplomats as direct representatives of peoples.

It has ought into this conterence, at the outset and as nothing else could have brought them there, the millions chietly concerned. And now they are there, it will be quite impossi- ble to shut them out. That is why that whether committee conter behind closed doors or not, the conference is alyeady in a broad light of unprecedented pub- ligity—a light that will s we say 5 hine with compelling clear ness until it reveals results.
