In the first place, Secretary Mellon points ::t that the foreign obligations are for the most part “still in the form of demand obligations and it is impos- sible in the present state of international finance and in advance of funding arrangements to estimate what may be collected on them in the near future by way of principal or interest.” “The obligations are not in shape, more- over, to sell to the public, and to offer them to the investor with the guaranty of this Gov- ernment wowld seriously interfere with our ,,own refunding operations, upset the security markets and in the long run prove more ex- ty pensive to this Government than would the’ sale of its own direct obligations. At the same sniatme it would enormously complicate the inter- national situation and certainly embarrass the funding negotiations.” What is more, there are $10,000,000,000 of out- standing Liberty bonds. The retirement of these bonds and the current interest on them would have first claim .on whatever payments might be made by foreign nations. If there is a soldiers’ bonus, it has got to be pro- The people of the United States must take it on as their burden and not expect it to be shifted at once to somebody else’s shoulders. They must be ready to carry it in the shape of new taxes. On this point Congress has no right to fool either itself or the country. There must be no shut-eye policy. A soldiers’ bonus, if it comes at all, is coming straight out of American pockets. RADIO TELEPHON INCE the war the radio telephone has developed at an amazing rate. Thousands of homes are equipped to enjoy reg- ular daily programmes broadcasted by central organizations. The Evening World has recognized this by start- ing a regular department devoted to radio news. Every day witnesses new developments in the field. Inventors are standardizing, perfecting and simplifying apparatus. It is not an idle dream to imagine a day when radio installations will be com- mon as telephones. Central stations may be able to announce important events to every one when they occur. An interesting development is a portable tele- phone as a part of police equipment in Chicago. The possibilities of such apparatus are evident. If the police central could communicate instantly with every patrolman, the diances of catching criminals _ would be immensely increased. Such a means of broadcasting police information would be particularly valuable as a check on the criminal use of the automobile. It is the first few minutes that enable the thieves to escape. If the number of a bandit car or a stolen automobile could be transmitted to every policeman instantly, it would help restore the balance between the crimi- mal and the criminal “catcher. The Fidelity and Casualty Company of New York is withdrawing from the bail bond busi- ness because: “We couldn't tell whether the money was tainted or not, whether it was hon- est or dishonest.” Other reputable concerns are expected follow this lead. id ‘This does not solve the ball bond evil. It anything, t makes the condition worse by throwing more business to the unscrupulous. This makes it more than ever imperative that bail bonding should be regulated and supervised. ACTIVE, NOT PASSIVE. 'N the Harding State papers the author shows a marked fondness for the passive voice~ perhaps because it agrees with his conception of the Presidency. Reading the President's dissertation on agricub tural credit, we find these expressions: “We see the advance of civil! grado- ally emancipating the soil. a Ho Com- merce and manufacturing have been afforded ample financial facilitie. * * * “The merchant, the manufacturer, the great instruments of transportation, have deen provided methods by which they enlist neo essary capital © * * he (the farmer) has not claimed for himself.” it is not until President Harding says, “Legisla- can do little more than give the farmer the organize and help himself,” that the ac- has & Then the President is einem —-—— , ; Pe LCE THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1922. regard them as something handed down from on high, or, -at least, from the Government. The history of economic’ development shows this‘is wrong. Commerce and manufacturing built by their own efforts the earlier forms of ‘bank- ing and credit facilities. Naturally the merchants and manufacturers built a systern to fit their needs. In America it is a fact that agriculture has not had capital in the soil until within the last genera- tion. As long as there was a frontier, the basic farm capital was not in soil but in transportation facilities to the markets. In European countries, where the frontier dis- appeared years ago, the farmers have organized their credit machinery to fit their needs. Farmers here can do the same. The Government cannot do this. It can only authorize the farmers to do it for themselves CHANGE THE PLAY GG" MILLER still flatly refuses the role as- signed him by Mayor Hylan in New York's great traction drama. Denying he ever believed the Transit Act should make it mandatory for the Transit Commission to raise fares to meet the claims of traction companies, the Governor even went so far yesterday as to say: ‘urther study of the law may suggest the desirability of further amendment to pre yent the commission from arbitrarily raising rates, Such an amendment, if necessary, will ceftainly have my approval.” This is another hard blow for the Mayor, who long ago cast the Governor for the villain schem- ing to aid those who would boost fares. The Transit Act was to figure as the chief move in the nefarious plot. The people of this city were to be sdved only by the heroic steadfastness of John Five-cent-fare Hylan. Gov. Miller has rejected the part and ruined the play. To make matters worse, the Governor incon- siderately draws attention to certain facts: “You know the Transit Commission report indicates, tentatively at least, that a 5-cent fare is entirely practicable and ought to give proper service. Of course, the people of New York have talked so much about 5 cents that even though they are paying 7, 12, 15 and 20 cents, if they do not pay more than 6 cents at one time they seem to have got it into their heads that they are really getting a B-cent fare, and with that myth they have entirely forgotten that the important thing they need is service,” The myth of a present 5-cent fare is not as potent now as it was last fall. Nor can the Transit Commission be made to look so bogy-like. Since the Court of Appeals has upheld the Tran- sit Law, and since Gov. Miller won’t act the vil- lain, why doesn’t Mayor Hylan change the play? As the Magnanimous One, sacrificing all else to the service of the people and stretching forth the hand of co-operation to the Transit Commission "as the best way to speed a traction settlement, the Mayor might yet walk away with the show. THE MONEY-MAKER. N HIS “too much football” statement President Lowell of Harvard did not give due considera- tion to the relationship of football to other ath- letics. ' In most colleges football is the big money-mak- ing sport. The football surplus is depended on to finance other athletics running at a loss. Grant the universities are under no obligation to furnish public spectacles on ten or a dozen Satur- day afternoons in autumn. The fact remains that the public's money pays for other beneficial ath- letic activities. If football were abolished, would it not result in crippling the athletic system under which the many profit from the exertions of the few? ° It would not be fair to require students to make the scholastic sacrifices demanded of the football squad. But the football players are volunteers, A few may lose scholastic training, but many times as many students gain an opportunity for health- promoting physical development. Colleges are hard pressed for funds. Where would the money for minor athletics come from if not from football?

Mr, Untermyer and the Unions. To the Paitor of The Evening World: There is one matter that has been puzzling me for some time, and chat 1s, the position Samuel Untermyer has taken in reference to the building trade unions and the garment unions. Both unions have been accused of illegal practices, yet in the case of the building trades unions he has done everything in his power to bring che guilty ones to justice, while in the case of the garment workers he has acted as counselor. He is now quoted as saying that he believes a Federal inqury of the clothing trades is un- necessary, GEORGE M'NULTY. New York, Jan. 22, 1922 Prohibition and the Preamble. To the Editor of The Evening World Prohfbition stands for almost every- thing which is contrary to the beau- tiful spirit of the preamble to the Constitution of the United States. Prohibition does not further ‘“per- fect union'’ because it creates dissent sion through a difference of opinion and class distinction. It does not “establish justice’ because justice is nothing more or less than fairness for all, It does not “insure domestic tranquility’? because a great difference of opinion_and Injustice are apt to breed serioUs trouble as well as a dis- respect for laws. It does not “pro- mote the general welfare” because it creates discontent, hurts or destroys business, entails a loss of revenue which many persons were formerly delighted to pay, produces a useless expense for enforcing something that the people do not want, does not suve the drinker’s money because he pays more for his glass and gets less for his gold, and leads many individuals to the use of drugs and obnoxious beverages which either kill them or undermine their health. Lastly. it does not ‘‘secure the blessings of lib- erty to ourselves or our posterity’ because ‘Congress now declares tliat whilg the citizen {ts secure in hie hous#, he is not secure in his person, his papers or his effects." Such degradation and destruction of the things which were ord:ined and entablished by the Constitution of the United States should be denounced by every decent American This horrible perversion of the preamble of the Constitution was brought about by « seif-orduined minority that wanted to tinpreas {te stupid ideas upon an intelligent citi. won: ry, Some day the people of this aplendid From Evening World Readers|} What kind of letter do you find most readable?

Jail or Defense. ‘Tothe Editor of The Evening World: One has only to read the “previous records” af the bandits arrested re- cently in the fur stealing on 29th Street to know why bandits do not fear to ply thelr trade, “Discharged” and “no disposition” are the results of their being brought before courts. Apparently the bandit has but to take a chance that he will be so treated if caught. Remedy is jail—or repeal the Sulli- van law so that a law-abiding man or woman who dares not to own a weapon might own one to use were it necessary to save a decent life by killing a bandit.

E. St. Amant. * No. Rev, Blue Law Bowlby, in an inter- view given the Philadelphia Public Ledger last year on the proposed |scope of the Blue Sunday movement, stated that only the Roman Catholics, the Unitarians, the Seventh Day Ad- ventists, the Seventh Day Baptists and the Jews were outside the line-up. “And,” he added significantly, “to be perfectly frank with you, they will |have to conform to the laws if we succeed. The Jew will have to ob- serve our Sabbath.” Rev. W, F. Crafts has also declared his intention to enforce to the limit the nation-wide Sunday Law now be- tng sought by them in Congress, re- gardless of the personal faith of the victims of their bigotry and fanati- cism. By persistent skill and subtlety, this monster scourge of the ages, religious persecution, seems determined to pusir its conquests into this last earthly asylum of soul liberty.

Munro in his “Bxpedition with Mackay's Regi- ment."! In an engagement at Werben, between the forces of Gustavus Adol- phus and the Austrians, Munro, ser- ving on the Swedish side, found his men exposed to the fire of Swedish gunners who had not given thei: pleces the proper elevation, In his own phrase, they were ‘betwixt the devil and the deep sen,"-—1, 6, ex- Jposed to danger from friends as well -_ foes. his theories, Freud held that mental disease the bursting forth of erotic wishes and cravings repressed in childhoud Erotic impulses mahifest themselves he says, long b¥fore puberty, in fact from the very time of birth.
