President Hakding's message to Congress asks tor power to negotiate with and through the War Finance Comoration railroad securities which the national Government holds. He wants to raise money on them. The work, of funding the debt of the roads to the Government for permanent improvements made during the war already is provided for; it is and has been going on steadily. No more authority is needed to do that. But the Government owes the roads on operating and damage account a great deal -of money, which it has not the cash to pay. It does not want Congress to do any more' taxing for such purposes. It does not want Congress to appropriate more funds for such purposes. It does not want to put any more burdens of any sort on the national Treasury for such purposes. So if the Government can negotiate some of the railway securities held by the Federal Railroad Administration the money can be raised at once to give the roads what is due them without draining the Treasury of a penny or putting an ounce of load on the Government. This will expedite the full settlement of the car riers claims against tne Kauroaa Administration; it will enable them to settle private accounts long overdue for materials, supplies and equipments; it will permit them to go Into the general markets to buy what they still need and thus give a big impetus to the revival of American industry and business. It is good business for the Government. It is better business for the Government than for the roads, because to get the quick settlements they are compromising their heavy claims. Congress cannot be willing to withhold this power from the Federal Railroad Administration and the War Finance Corporation without being willing to retard the country's going hack to work?and neither Congress nor anybody else wants to do that. The War Finance Corporation programme, therefore, should go through In short order, and when it does? :ndeed, even as soon as it Is assured of going through?the work of railroad reconstruction should get under way, with all that this means to American labor, industry and business. Further legitimate financing of the farmers through the War Finance Corporation also is asked by the President. The two propositions tied up in the same bundle, as It were, ought not to fare any the worse for that In Congress. The New Theatre Method. Announcements as to the coming season make it plain that there Is to be extended trial of a new kind of theatre direction. Up to date it has been disclosed that six organizations xi-i 11 nnHnrtalra # Vi a m?i na irAmAnt of theatres for an Indefinite period or produce new plays under special conditions. These guilds, unions, societies and variously named associations will thus take the place of commercial managers in Beveral cases. Some , of the organizations are composed of actors: in one case actors and playwrights have united, and another group is made up entirely of dramatists. All have outlined their programmes and will be active factors In the business of amusements here next winter. The success of the Theatre Guild has had an Important influence in inspiring these organizations. The men who conduct the affairs of the Garrlck Theatre, the home of the Theatre Qalld, have found commer rial managers glad to carry on their enterprises when artistic rules compelled the ending of the season in their own theatre. The subscribers are entitled to see five new plays every year, so there is a necessary limit to the run of each production. But other theatres huve always opened their doors hospitably to the productions of the Theatre Guild. The powers in control of this ex perlment in impresarioshlp are tc be called amateurs only In the sense that they are not managers of some years standing. They are not, how % never, amateurs in taste or knowl, [ edge of the theatre. They have pro: duced successfully plays which have I been rejected by other managers who were glad enough later to enjoy some fruits of their popularity. Two dramas given last winter by the Theatre Guild are still to be Been. Four of the five it brought forward were I last season highly prosperous. Any | manager who could maintain such > an average would earn a fortune. Naturally the effect of this success i has been to create other organiza' tions of the same kind. So this new factor in theatre control will be morej i powerful than ever in the coming year. Luckily there have been many theatres built. Otherwise the cooperative enterprises might drive out altoEether the noor old commercial managers who have come In long enough for public criticism. Use Real Economy Here. The United States Government had better be chary about spending money on the old Federal building which, houses the City Hall station of the post office, and which It is proposed to improve now to expedite the mall service. The old building is an eyesore architecturally. It is extravagant to maintain. It is ill designed for its purpose. It is doomed by public good taste nnd by the requirements of the i Government to be torn down soon, i Its removal was in sight when the war came and knocked all plans for internal improvements into a cocked hat. But this Interruption of a well considered scheme to better the postal service, shelter the Federal courts as they should be sheltered, and put other United States offl clals in suitable offices is only temporarily suspended. It is not abandoned. It will not be abandoned. The New York Herald wants the post office clerks to have proper working conditions and will oppose no plan to provide these. But every penny put into the Mullet monstrosity at Broadway and Park Row should | be spent with the understanding that within a short time that monument to waste is to be eliminated from the city's chamber of horrors, and whatever is done to it now is to endure for only a short time. If President Harding feels we should postpone the erection of a nuirh nnnrind nortfl rnehfcre on the White House, which we expect to have stand forever, we certainly should not put money into a building everybody wants to tear down. A WaU Is a Wall. Frederic P. Small, vice-president of the American Express Company, comes back from the Orient with a statement which has a direct bearing on the American valuation system proposed for our tariff, as follows: "Through the port of Dalren Japan is exporting goods in her own ships to every country In the world. They are working hard and we shall have to look alive if we expect to maintain our position in the competij tlon." Japan with her coolie crews can ! operate her ships more cheaply than any other great maritime nation. | With her cheap labor she can manu I mciure many iiiich ui guuua nui uuiy | below the cost of American production but below the costs of other industrial countries. She can buy raw : cotton in the United States, put it in her ships, carry it over to her industries, run it through her mills, put it in her ships again as the finished product, carry it back to the United i States and sell it here under our industrial noses for less than we can sell ours, with the cotton grown in our own fields, with the material run through our own machinery and with no overseas freight rates to pay. Japan, when world exchange rates are anything like normal, can do the same thing in South America. She can do It against us, she can do it I against Great Britain, she can do it i against the Continent. Some one may ! say that if Japan takes our raw cot- j ton and captures the international markets for cotton goods what dif-1 ference does it make to us whether! we sell it to Japan or to the various ' other industrial countries? It makes j all the difference in the world. Ja-1 pan never will buy other goods from j us in return, never can buy them ! from us, as countries whose people! are more like ours in their natures,! their tastes and their needs can buy; from us and do buy from us. We not only have to save our own j home market from cutthroat competl-! ! tton, we have to save our market, in [ such nrticles as we require from abroad and are glad to take from j 'abroad, for the countries which naturally are our biggest and best customers. If Japan or another trader drives them out of their selling i chances here, Japan or such other i kills their power to buy here. What Is true ns to this cutthroat : competition of the lowest foreign labor costs Is true as to the cutthroat competition of the countries of the i most debased exchanges. Japan's exchange, as it happens, is not so very j far away from parity wlttv ours. She does not need that advantage to unI dersell us. Great Britain and the Scandinavian countries In the great i world markets. Her murderously low labor costs are sufficient. i II But nnother country, perhaps a i 'Germany, whose currency has a i slight value; perhaps an Austria, n ij Poland, a Czechoslovakia, whose paper money is worth nothing at all, , will thereby have a like competitive strangle hold on the country which i pays for its labor at home and pays . for Its materials at home in money : that has value. .i With world standards upside down / ) ' THE N the American valuation system can \ serve. to measure Imports truly, i whether they are from relatively high < labor cost and high exchange rate I Great Britain, or high exchange rate i but low labor cost Japan, or low ex- 1 change rate Germany. This will be a good thing for us, as against the lowest labor cost or the insolvent coun- < tries; it will be just as good a thing i for the countries trading with us that are solvent and always have been our biggest and choicest customers. i At the same time it is to be recognized that when the American valuatlon system is put into operation on dutiable articles it thereupon, by the very fact of equalizing foreign goods with American goods as to selling opportunities in our own market?by that exact process meets at once and entirely the purpose of and the reason for the principle of protection to | domestic industries. A wall is a wall. i The incomprehensibly thick stupidity is when, with toll protection completely gained by the American valuation of a dutiable article, anybody still wants to build up on top of that wholly sufficient structure of protection ten or twenty stories more, to make the tariff wall overshadow the Woolworth building. It 1 is that bungling and blundering for which, wherever It still may survive in the Fordney tariff, Congress needs to dig a nameless grave. A Needless Tragedy. That an incident such as is described in the subjoined extract from i he ?u? 01 monuay snuuiu nave oc- , curred in rich and generous New York city is to be attributed only to 1 pride or to ignorance: "Exhausted from lack of food and his prolonged search for a place in his plumbing trade, Arthur Chal- ( lis, 23 years old, a world war veteran, of 254 West Twenty-iflrst street, ( fell in front of the house at 193 , Third avenue. To a policeman who ] went to his aid he explained that he was starving. At Bellevue Hospital his sickness was diagnosed as the result of starvation and exhaustion." There is enough and to spare of food in New York. There are dozens of agencies, official and private, to bring the hungry man or woman and 1 the necessaries of life together; yet ' occasionally a case like that of Chali.is shocks the community into recognition of the fact that the machinery i provided to care for those who are down on their luck cannot automatically identify those who deserve and j should have aid. ^ It Is probable that Chatxib will turn out to be one of those obsti- ( nate men who would rather starve ( themselves into a hospital than ac- ( cept charity. Their spirit is commendable, though they spend their ( strength foolishly. They have a valid ( claim on the funds put aside for the ( relief of distress and they should , seek help before their strength Is en- ( tlrely gone. ( However, there is no use telling ( such men what they should do. They , will do as they please, being stiff- necked by nature. The only thing , the public can accomplish to relieve ( + vi 4 m *a mentalities for the detection of honest want, and Improvement In them is unquestionably in progress. Mound Bayou's Anniversary. An exclusively negro town, Mound Bayou, Mississippi, has just celebrated its thirty-fourth anniversary. Founded In 1887 by J. T. Montgomery and Benjamin T. Green, its growth has not been spectacular but steady. Mound Bayou in its modest way is flourishing. It has a population of 800 and has recently added to its other substantial improvements a school building which cost $100,000, every cent of which was contributed by the colored people whose children will attend the classes. All this was dwelt upon with pride at the anniversary celebration, at which Montgomebt, who is one of the wealthiest colored men in the South, was present, as was also Philip M. Brown of the United States Department of Labor. Mr. Brown was the principal speaker. Since the death of Green responsibility for the town's growth and progress has fallen mostly on Mont gomebt. i ne community is (lis- < tlnctly creditable to the race. i May Mound Bayou continue to 1 grow and prosper. The spirit and j intelligent effort it represents give promise of the colored people's ultimate emergence into the light of , better days. Art Colony Galleries. Following the custom that origJ- ' nated nearly a score of years ago with , a group of painters who foregather : at Old Lyme, Connecticut, the sum- ] mer art colony exhibitions in New England have become permanent institutions at Old Lyme and Silvermine; at Newport and Lenox; at 2 Provincetown and Gloucester. They furnish agreeable and entertaining diversion for visitors and profit to J some, at. least, of the exhibiting painters and sculptors. For the most part these exhibitions \ I are held In temporary galleries, often 111 suited for the effective display of j art works. In recent years Newport { and Gloucester have been exceptions to this rule. The Newport Art Association has its own galleries, and the Cape Ann painters have been < able to show their works In the privately built Gallery on the Moors. This season, however, two galleries owned by artists themselves will be opened, one at Provincetown and the j other at Old Lyme. That on Cape Cod Is an old New England house EW YORK HERALD, that has been adapted to the purposes at art exhibitions by a dozen palntsrs, chiefly from New York city. It has two small rooms for pictures and one large gallery. It will be opened For the first time on July 31. The gallery at Old Lyme is now nearlng completion and is to be opened formally August 6 with the annual exhibition of the Lyme Art Association. The structure is primarily an art gallery and was designed by Cuablis Platt of this city, who contributed his services to aid the association and its purposes. It has three exhibition halls, two for Bhowing sketches and a main room for paintings. It is a sightly structure. and not only adds to the charm of Old Lyme but is admirably adapted for its special purpose. Aside from the artistic interest buildings of this kind bring to the tnwm In which thev are erected these art colony galleries are visible signs of a prosperity that must be encouraging both to artists and art lovers. Hot, Dry Day* Raise Milk Prices. One of the large milk distributing companies has announced that the retail prices of milk will be advanced a cent a quart in August over the July prices. Other companies are expected to follow this lead. Assuming that the July schedule of prices is fair to farmer, distributer and consumer, this Increase is certainly not unreasonable. The severely dry weather of the late nrvrinor onH oil of tho an m m or an for has naturally reduced the milk production on the farms. Pasturage lacks succulence, and the cows have suffered from insufficient moisture as they grazed. High temperatures always have a bad effect on dairy animals. Under the circumstances the Increase in price cannot reasonably cause surprise. Even with this increase milk will cost two cents a quart less than it did a year ago. City dwellers should be thankful for this. Straight Playing Wins. /XM nn <.Atvin nla VAKfl x lie laiuuun, ui , aa ouiuc may have called It, the infamous, fifth hole at the Columbia Country Club cost three first class tournament contestants eight, ten and eleven strokes respectively, and a score of other players in the recent notable contest marked up Beven, eight or nine strokes for the hole. But The New York Herald's golf authority says that the 552 yard hole is a legitimate par 5, the high scores resulting from drives which were purposely hooked?the balls being played purposely to the left?for the supposed advantage of a longer roll. The consequence was these balls came to rest In the rough or out of bounds. The shades of that remarkable trio of golfers. Old Tom, Young Tom md Willie Anderson, must have smiled over this. When the Anderson boys were winning tournaments Df every degree of importance and difficulty they always had in mind 31d Tom's dictum with which he enriched golf learning after watching Young Tom slice or hook a ball at will round a tree at a hundred yards llstance. "Aye, lad," said the veteran, " tls i gr-rand exhibeetlon. But, obsarive, to slice and to hook are natural golf Faults, and I dinna recollect a tournament won by exhibeetion of faults. fou'U win a hundred games playing i straight ball to one you'll win playing crooked." So, it may be that Columbia's noted flfth hole will aid in discouraging roung players from purposely emphasizing a fault in golf for the sake nf a doubtful advantage. Babxes played straight and won.

He would surely rogret It. The only man who can retire with safety Is he who has a clearly defined Idea of what he Is going to do with himself, and even he may be sorry. It Is often asked when a man should retire. Generally speaking I should say when his legs won't carry him around or he cannot get up In the morning. WARNrNo Voice. New York, Ju|y 28. The Way to Disarm. Altruism, Not Selfishness Should Guide the Coming: Conference. To Thjc New Youk Herald: Years ago a medal was struck for the winning crew In a boat race with the legend "They are able because they deem themselves able." If this International disarmament conference Is to achieve success a similar determination must rule In the souls of all the delegates, plenipotentiaries, or whatever they may be called. Diplomacy of the old school, by* ambassadors "sent abroad to He for the good of their country," must be thrown to the winds, together with all International pork barrel politics.

Pacific Grove, Cal., July 18. Motor Car Killings. New York's Death Rate From This Cause Doubled In Seven Years. To The New York Herai.d: It Is hardly a matter of pride that the rate of slaughter by motor cars and trucks Is low In New York In comparison with that of other cities; It is a matter of concern that the number killed each year Is increasing by leaps and bounds. Since 1915 the rate of killed to the 100,000 has increased from 6.8 to 14 In New York city; or from a total of 354 in 1915 to 780 In 1919. In thirty-three out of slxty-stx cities the rate was lower than In New York city. 'i'ne Killings m Los Angeles for 1919 were not double the number In New York city, nor were they anywhere near double, the rate being 21.1 to the 100,000. The highest rate waa In Hartford, Conn., 27.9 ; the lowest, Richmond, Va., waa 5.9. In the registration area of the United States It was 9.4 ; In Kngland and Wales 4 ; and In Paris It was only 2.35. Most likely the increase in the rate is duo to the increase in the number of motor vehicles. The death rate from motor vehicle accidents is a trifle less than that from airplane accidents, and Is about four times that of street car accidents. J. W. R. Mount Vernon, July 26. Wise Men of Lancaster. Treatment of a Father Who Named a Son After Lincoln's Assassin. To The New York Herald: Neither wisdom nor folly, good nor bad taste, has boundaries; that is recalled to me by your editorial article about the unreconstructed rebel in Alabama who was forced by Southern local sentiment to take away from his lawn the monument to the. man who murdered the great and good Lincoln. I knew a man in Lancaster county. Pennsylvania, fifty years ago who named hla son after the same assassin. and Lancaster county was a hotbed of loyalty and anti-slavery sentiment ; sent two regiments to the Union Army and was the scene of much underground railroad work In the forwarding of runaway slaves to the. North and freedom. But the most Instructive and satisfying part of It was that not a hair on the head of that hideous fool and rebel was touched, nor the slightest affront offered to him though his act was perpetrated only a few years after the murder of our great leader. The satisfaction far outweighs the grievance, I think. D. O. BnooKLTN. July 26. Eyebrow Mustaches. A Masculine Fashion Suggested by Remarks About Bobbed Hair.

The Ambassador and Mme. Jusser&nd had arranged to go to France on the first eastward trip of'the Paris on June 25 but were obliged to cancel their departure at the last minute. Another passenger by the Paris will be Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, who will Join her daughter. Miss Barbara Whitney, In Paris and remain abroad until the autumn. Miss Elizabeth Scarborough, secretary of the American Committee for Devastated France, will sail for a short trip throucrh thn davosfat/wi ?.'&? will visit the various committee centres and the headquarter* In Pari*. She is one of the oldest members of the American committee in point of service, having been a member since its inauguration in the spring of 1917. .

Solignac-Penelon, Mr. H. Van Buren Magonlgle, the architect, and Mrs. Magonlgle, Mr. and Mrs. Howard age and Mr. and Mrs. Gay Henry Witthaus. Despite the heat that made the pier a ?< ry good imitation of a bake oven, several thousand persons gathered yesterday afternoon to bid farewell to nearly 1,700 passengers who left for Cherbourg and Southampton aboard the Aqultanla of the Cunard Line. The vessel carried abroad one of the largest and most varied assortment of passengers which has yet left this side, and on her return trip probably will carry the advance guard of the homeward bound horde that has been going to Europe since last May. Owing to last minute arrivals the ship was delayed twenty minutes. An. informal reception was held on boa/rd by Senator Vittorlo Rolendi R1cci, Italian Ambassador to the United States, who Is returning to Italy to remain until October. The Ambassador, after expressing his gratification that relations between the two countries continue most friendly, said that during his stay here he had seen much more of this country than Washington, D. C. He has travelled much since his arrival. Among those who visited him on board were Mr. Francesco Quattrone, High Commissioner and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Italian Embassy; ConsuL-General On Choosing Mayoralty Candidate. First Orator: "He ranges the past with the eagle's optlclty. Foretells what's to come with Mohammed's felicity, Combats the slightest attempt of duplicity. Chooses his words as would Tupper or Tennyson, Caps the whole thing with a sugary benlson" New York City: "I quite agree that no other compares. But It's not what I'm looking for this year In Mayors." Second Orator: "My man has Woodrow's wide knowledge of polity. Miss Mary Garden's Insouciant quality, Eddie Foy's bubbling Infactloua Jollity, Foch's felicitous tactics and strategy. Punch that compares with Babe Ruth's bulbous bat-egy" New York City: "No doubt a showy and succulent dish. But somehow It doesn't seem quite what I wish." Third Orator: "Here Is a man with Jack Dempsey*s pugnacity, Monsieur Janowskl's checkmating capacity. Gilbert K. Chesterton's weighty sagacity, Flavored with Pavlowa's grace and agility. v.iFupicu niv.ii Donniwrw a ail truunu ability" .Veto York City: "All very well, friend, as far as It goes, But it doesn't go far, as 'most every one knows." Chorus of Voters: "We don't care a cuss If he Isn't a miracle. Whether he's handsome or rotundly spherical. Whether he's smiling or glum and austere-lcal.

The Untied State* Shipping Board. From 1813 on, throughout the next fifty years, If there was one characteristic that contributed more than any other to the unsurpassed position in the maritime world attained by the American merchant marine of that era, It was that of speed. And to understand that special attribute of Yankee shipping one must perhaps turn primarily to that other word, clipper. "Clippers" they had called those early Baltimore privateers. A matter of hull construction purely, not of rig. There Is no such thing as a clipper rig, but there was such a thing as a clipper hull and bow to be evolved. And so In the thirties the Ann McKim, and later the Katnbow, appeared, to be argued over and tested. The first real clippers, very experimental, not too successful perhaps, but nevertheless the progenitors of the finest sailing vessel for the work required of her that has ever sailed the sea, the great, towering, racing beauty?the record breaking American clipper ship of the fifties.

Berries by Mail. The Kind of Experience That Discourages New York State Farmers. To Thb New York Herald: Rising earlier than usual three or four days A.srr> fr* nlolr nhmifr t wo niift.rtn of fine. hard blackberries, intended to withstand the trip of about 250 miles to a friend la New York city, I packed them In a container which had brought a metal lighting fixture, and sent them out by parcel post in our noon mail, expecting they would be delivered in the city some time the following day. They were: but a letter from my friend says they were crushed into a purple ooxe and could only be thrown away, wasting my berries, my labor and postage. The letter referred to was dated in your city July 22, the date of your editorial article "Chance for New York Farmers." Given quick and safe transportation, the territory within 300 miles of Manhattan, including the village and farming community In which I live, would send immense quantities of berries and other things into the city, but we dislike to see our produce, our labor and our postage come to naught.
