doea It, but that docs not alter the
I fact that there are limes when econ
omy la n fact of deadly aerlousm,
t and this Is one of them.
"It Is only a very few years since
the annual budget ot this country
-" was a blliferr dollars or. less, Now we
are lucky If we hold the annual bud

"We cannot stand It. A man can

''the limit Ih there and he dlire
' cards that limit lie surfers paralysis.
'The same thing Is true of the na
' tlon', This country cannot continue
'at IIh present pace and at the pace
'the apenden would have It continue."
. SpcnkliiR of the present unsound,
wn.-'teful iiml httt'infiil tnxe, he fcild:
"lliey will tell you that the Gov
ernment gels Its money from excess
profits and Income taxea, and that
the rich people pay It. That sounds
i well and la Intended, to itilet the
teara of the people who are not rich.
Hut you and I know that hen vou

Ul he profits so that when he closes
the year he la as well oft as before,
That means that he passes the' tax

American people and the shackles off

that, hold the spenders In check."

sHeiitllle taxation which would not
restrict production and ware's the
pilhllr, the President; of course, would
have to get new revenue laws from
Congress. t us sec, therefore, whni
Ids imrty platform mys cn'that score,
for Congress will he governed hy the
jr(rty platform. First ns to checking
niunnder It tleclnros:
"A HepUbllcan Congress reduced
tjie estimate submitted by the Admin
istration for the fiscal year of 1320
almost three billion dollars ami for i
the fiscal year 1921 over a billion
and a quarter dollars. Greater econo
mies could tiave been effected had It
not been for the stubborn refusal of
the Administration to cooperate with
Congress In an economy programme.
"Aii an example of the failure to
retrench which has characterized the
post-war policy of the Administra
tion we cite the fact that, not Includ
ing the War and Navy Departments,
the Executive departments and other
establishments at Washington w.tu-
c
ally recorded an Increase subsequent
to the armistice ot ?,$! employees.
The set decrease In payroll costs con
tained In the 1921 demand submitted
by the Administration Is only t pe(r
cent, under that ot 1SJ0. The an
nual expenses of Federal operation
can be reduced hundreds of millions
of" dollars without Impairing the effi
ciency of Uje public service,
"We pledge ourselvea to a carefully
planned readjustment to a peace time
bails and to a policy of rigid econ
omy, to tha better coordination of
departmental activities, to the elimi
nation of unnecessary officials and
employer and to the raising of the
standard, of Individual efficiency."
.Next 111 to luxation Senator ll.ut
in. mi's party platform ilccliiros;
"The burden of taxation Imposed
upon the American :eople Is stag
gering but In presenting a true state
ment of the situation, we mbst face
the fact that while the character of
the taxes can and should be changed
an early reduction of the amount of
revenue to he raised Is not to be.
"Tio next Ilcpubllcan Administra
tion will Inherit from Its Democratic
predecessor a floating Indebtedness
of over 13,000,000,000, the prompt
liquidation of which Is demandedby
sound financial consideration, More
oxer, the whole fiscal policy of the
Government must be deeply influ
enced by the necessity of meeting ob
ligations In excess of J5, 000, 000,000
which mature In 1923. ,
"But sound policy equally demands
the early accomplishment of that
real reduction of the tax burden
which may be achieved by submit
ting simple for complex tax laws and
piocedure, prompt and certain deter
mination of Ihe tax liability for de
Iny and uncertainty, tax laws which
do not, for tax laws which do, cx-
resslvely mulct the consumers or
needlessly repress enterprise and
thrift.
"We condemn the unsound policies
of the Democratic Administration
which have brought these things to
pass and their attempts to Impute
the consequences to minor and sec
ondary causes. Much of the Injury
wrought Is Irreparable. There Is no
nhort way out and we decline to de
ceive the people with vain promises
or quack remedies. Hut ns the po
litical party that throughout Its his
tory has stood for honest money and
hound finance, we pledge ourselves to
enrnest and consistent attack upon
the high cost of living by rigorous
avoidance of further Inflation In our
Government borrowing, by coura
geous and Intelligent deflation of over
expanded credit and currency, by en
couragement ot heightened produc
tion of goods and services, by pre
ventlon of unreasonable pioflts, by
exercise of public economy and stim
ulation of private thrift and by rs
vision ot war Imposed taxes unsulted
to peace time economy."
Mr. Hahiiino speaks of practical
Fconoiny In terms of common sense
nnil business experience. Mr. Hap.-ui.-v-fl
describes the tax elinngcs thru
must be made In plain English. The
Chicago platform squnrcly pledges the
Republican party to go on cutting
down the ordinary appropriations by
hundreds of millions of dollars, ns It
hns been doing since the American
people overturned Mr. Wilson's
Democratic Congress. The Chicago
plntfcrm squarely pledges tlie Itepub
llrun party to pay up the Ooveriiment's
overdue bills and to lake up the
Treasury's I O l"s. The Chicago
platform fairly and hoii!4ly ndmlts
the things Hint cannot he done, hut
rtralglitl.v and definitely lakes the
contract to do the things that 'ought
to have been done as soon ns the war
was over and that now will he done
as soon as the Democratic Adminis
tration Is over.
If that rit'Brnmme of HAitmNn and
bis party doesn't look like business,
what decs look like It? If their
pledged teamwork doesn't guarantee

legislative branches nf the Covcni

(ilollttl's Kelurii to Power.
Klve years ago Giovanni Oiolitti
left Home protected by the police
from an angry nnil bitterly antago
nistic crowd and retired to bis home
in a l'lcdmontese village. His politi
cal fuueral bad been held several
times before, but now It was declared
that bis hold upon Italian politics
was tlually broken and that hopes of
his restoration to power bad passcll
forou'i'. Yesterday he announced the
formation of a new Cabinet to succeed
the fallen Nlttl Ministry; be had re
turned lo Homo welcomed by his old
followers ami supported by many of
his former opponents who hail come
to look iiK)U lilni ns the one man able
to control conditions at fiome and
uphold Italian prestige abroad.
In taking over the Premiership for
the fourth time Signor Oiolitti llnds
new iK)lttlcal condlllous and now
party alignment. He stdoif In his
former term as 1: friend of the Triple
Alliance anil an opponent of Italian
Intervention In the world war, Insist
ing that Italy's role was n course of
strict neutrality. He must now meet
the new conditions and nntloiul and
International problems with n con
sideration of the part to be played
by two parties, n stroir.' radical imrty
and nn active Catholic party, which
have grown In iover In bis absence
from power.
Krom his own part', the Liberals,
be -hns chosen ns Ministers of the
Colonies, Finance, nml Public Works
respectively, Loot ltosst, Fuancksco
Taohsco", and Camii.lo Peaso, all of
whom have been active In Italian pol
itic. He has given few nortfnllo of

which he did not succeed. Slgnor

Sronr.A, who tins acted In the capacity

Minister of Foreign .ffnlrs.r This
'would seem to" be n Cabllict represen

The new Government, however, Iiiih

If wftb, this advantage Giohtti,

When Dr, Dr.rnw, addressed the He
publican convention lu Chicago lust
neck the delegate In their hun

currence. They suw 11 man lu his eighty-seventh
year who roused from nHinte
of lethargy to manifestations of the
most enthusiastic approval a gather
ing wear' ot the routine procedure
of a great deliberative assembly.
They looked upon an octogenarian
who stepped forward 011 the plat
form If not with the springiness of
youth certainly with no more than
the deliberation of middle age.
They heard n voice familiar fm
two' generations In the banquet hall,
on the stomp. In the legislative cham
ber and lu he council room from
which nothing of Its resonnnce and
line timbre was missing.
They bnd revealed before I hem the
mln'd, functioning faultlessly, of a man
who for threescore years had trod
the highway of adult 'life; sometimes
with success at his right hand, some
times wl'ili failure as his companion:
who had walked hope .-iiid ex
pectancy, with sorrow aud'.Hsappolnr
nient ; who had known the Joy of ac
complishment and felt the sting of
non-fulfljment ; and who as he stood
before them disclosed n noble faith
In his fellow men, nn unaffected con

endurance far beyond the ordinary.
He has never been afraid to keep his
heart open for bis fellow men.
Through all the years during which
be has eagerly sought contact with
them there has gone forth from him
nn unfailing flow of genuine Interest
and affection, a rich stream of hope
Inspiring, enduring confidence.
That wonderful vitality which
shines from hi eyes restores Itself
through rojolclug over the successes
others achieve, whether those olhcrs
labor nt things sum 1 1 or great as the
world measures. .
In every man and woman who
tries to do n worthy thing well Dr.

lock up lu n str'ong box of repression

Inevitably their lives crow narrow,

ITbclr capacity for teuJoyment In
wholesome things dwindles. They
turd ! the pout because the present
has outgrown tbem. They dare not

In high place nnd In obscure stiW

where bard worlds done far from the

there. They drop n bit of advice to

where silence carries the message;

What Captain Wooltey aaya about our

from what I nave, often heard my father
tell about the men In hla father's and
grandfather's generations.
! nlways spoke of them aa glanta
and I only wish 1 coutd remember more
of his tales. He died four years ago at
the age of 81, He called hta uncle one
of those glanta and told how he used
to do two or three men's work when
riltlnp down trees, clearlngsup land;
that he would take ho'd ot the butt end
ot 'a li;avy tree Just fallen and send
three "mea to carry the top end or the
light end and he would handle his .end
alone and the three men on the other
end of the tree sot tl.'fd anil wanted to
rest before he did every tin).
I agree pretty much with Captain
Woolsey, but I am. Inclined lo lhlnk that
the young men of our geherattnV could
develop Just ns much physical atVcngth
as' our ancestors If they wero properly
trained for a good long time. My
brother Is an example : a 'city bred boy,
he went to college and played football,
trained for It. nnd made the varsity

strength ot a giant at times. I have

This Country Should Kaep Faith
, With Injured Men.
To The Sun and New Tosk Herald:
Aa a.dlsabled emergency army officer I
thank you for your editorial artcle of June
3 entitled "Keep Faith With Disabled
Soldiers." It Is encouraging to tee that
there ara atlll some people In this coun
try who believe, (n fair dealing- and In
the fulfilment of covenants freely enr
tered Into, even though one, of th
parties thereto Is the now much despised
emergency army "oltlccr.
The situation may b compared to
this.' A factory employ, a amall tore of
professional firemen who, If disabled In
that service, art) retired on three-fourths
ot their pay, , One day a lira of such
magnitude brenks out that the regular
fire brigade is unable to cope with It.
The factory managers thereupon call for
emergency fighter to put down the
flames, offering them the. same pay and
the name compensation In case ot Injury
as the professional flf emcn receive. They
come In, and after the fire, la out the'
managers turn about, and 'say to tho
lnjuicd emcrgonc,y firemen; "We have
changed our mind ; we will now pay you
only a fraction of what we promised you
In the hour of our need." Tho country
la the factory, the war was the flrc,vthe
regular forces were the professional fire
men and tha emergency forces the emer
gency fltcmen. The breach of faith in
tho above example Is not a bit pver
atatcd '
in fact the truth Is even worse, for
Congress has not only broken Its con
tract with us and made an odious dis
tinction between the regular and the
emergency officers; It has gone further
and made a still unfalrer distinction be
tween the1 disabled emergency officers of
the two branches of tho service. Tho
naval appropriation bill passed during
the last days of the last scstlon pro
vides that emergency naval officers 'dis
abled in line of duty shall bo retired o'i
the same basis as regular navy officers
Yet a bill embodying similar provision
for disabled emergency nrmy officers,
which has been before Congress' for ovr
a year, after being kicked about iron)
commlttvo to committee, failed to re
eclvo the sanction of the fair minded
gCntlcmon who claim to represent the
people of this country. This bill was no
'raid on the Treasury," It merely recog
nized tho principle thnt men who have
performed Identical duties nnd Incurred
disability under Identical circumstances
should be treated alike, and also that a
contract loyally entered Into and loyally
fulfilled by one party should not bo re
pudiated by the other.
During the bonus discussion many
Congressmen said that while they were
opposed to tho bonus they were In favor
of the most generous treatment for tho
sick and wounded. We submit that the
treatment accorded to us has been not
only ungonerous but cynically unjust.
Wo wonder In what way have we failed
to measure up to the common standard
to Justify our exclusion from benefits
accotded to all other classes of officers
In either branch, both regular and emer
gency. When these men cr'C up for reelec
tion we hope that the voters of thh
country will remember tho treatment ac
corded to us, nnd by their action show
their approval or disapproval of It.

RECIPE FOR PEACE.
The Idea of Jlrollicrhood Urged for
World Reconstruction.
To The Siy and New York Herald:
The foundation of the world Is so shat
tered that to repair the damage re
quires the energy of the entire human
race. We must build once more and'
of a better material this time. Past
history has brought with It the so-called
high Ideas of the Homart and Greek
republks. The Middle Ages had their
ICras and Ideals. Put to the test, have
they not utterly fn'lcd? The present
has brought with It also Ideas and Ideals
that arc low and high, hut all of them
are falling. It remains for the super
Ideal, the Idea ot brotherhood, not the
Ideals ot past Individualism, that will
bring with thenl the millennium.
Ws bellews low Ideas lo bo responsi
ble for this deplorable state ot affairs.
A seething, festering macs ot discon
tent has caused a boiling up that, like
nn overflowing geyser, Ihe contents are
being endlessly wasted. Ideas 1 W
all have them, too many of them. Labor
has them, capital has them, nnd those
who are of neither capital nor labor hnve
them. Pride ot country Is one thing,
common sense another. Separated, these
two are cnlldlsb ; properly mixed, they
are efficient, (
If we could continue formulating plans
for tho country's reconstruction and
each person apply himself to doing one
thing well our sanation would work
itself out. We are misled by false pros
perity tha appeals more than fearful
on the horlxon of the Immediate .pres
ent and of. the near future. Not merely
advocating but putting Into practice
tne, Idea ot brotherhood would enable
us 'to pass' this obstruction In a clear
and Epicurean Ideal. But can we do
It?' Minnii Weinbeeo. 1

London, Juno 1T.The Government
patted tho Infant League of Nations on
the head In tho courso of the debolo In
the House ot Commons to-nlsht. but, ro
fuscd the details of tho dietary upon
which the Jnfant might flourish. The
opposition equally confined Itself to
generalities.
The most significant development wa
Arthur J. Balfour's point, amplified by
the Laborltea, that imtil "the nation
outside the treaties" gave an nxample
of disarmament tho Lcagu,o could do
little for general dl'ormament. Vheso
references wcie universally construed
as referring to the United States, as the
outline ot tho Amorlcnn naval pro
gramme, described aa designed to out
strip .Great Britain by 1925, nas at
tracted much attention here.
This debate, upon tho heels of the
league's sidestepping tho Persian prob
lem and coinciding with the gathering
it Tho Hague lo design nn International
. 'miial, has focmscd attention upon tho
i.cmbllcun party platform, especially
tho p.nnk reported to have been written
! Ullhu ftnnt for an International
Oouit of Juatlcc, and tho possibility of
this child of tho Leaguo of Nations out
growing nnd overpowering the parent
organization. ,
Mr. Balfour, chief apologist for tho
league, was forced to-nlghl to admit
that he could not handle tho prickly
problem, really pregnant with trouble,
the causes of which It waa advertised
as especially designed to stop. This
deficiency he attributed to tho extreme
youth of tho league, and complimented
It that nt six months It was able even
to express n desire to chcclt typhus and
propose that tho nations contrlbuto ten
millions for this purpose, He declared
thnt tho league wu.i now seeking n
European natlqn oipi.Jlo of taking tho
'mandate forArmenia.
These declarations, coupled with the
actual failure of tho lengue to function
upon any problems under Article XI. pr
A'rtlcle XVI. Is accepted ns marking
tha passing of the league from the con
ception of a super-State- Whatever It
may be nble to do when fully developed
oven Its warmest protagonists, such n
J. II, Clyncs nnd Lord Itobert Cecil, ad
mit that It Is powerless now and blame
the Government's Hp service to, the
league nnd Llojd Georgo'n policy of
maintaining tho power ot tho Supremo
Council.
The burden of Mr. UaKcur's speech
waa that to ovcrlond the leaguo woul.l
bo lo shatttr It. "No latlonal man," h'j
said, "would suggest that It Is tho
league's task to rescue the world from
chaos. That is n task for the Supreme
Council. Tlie leaguo will serve you well
If you do not overload it," Concerning;
dliarmamcnt he said: "lit the, countries
decide Individually that they must have
armament on noblg scale, then the
tragedy for tho world will bo great In
deed." Probably, the most Important aspect
ot the pact, safd Mr. Balfour, was thrt
In the future no contracts between na
tions would be vaJJd unless open to In
spection, nnd the chansc to open dlplo
miey, he thought, would be beneflclak
Mr. Balfour declared thnt tho Impor
tant question of expenditures among the1
nations composing tho leaguo would bo
submitted for tho consideration of ex
perts when the International finance
committee met at Brussels. "If the
league fulls to promote a diminution In
armament," Mr. .Balfour continued,
"much of Its vnluflwlll be gone and wo
will have to ndnfit that It has failed
to carry out the great expectations en
tertained with regard to Its future nc
tlvitles."
Following the decision of the league
of Nation's Council to tnko no nction
at present on Persia's nppeal for pro
tection rgalnst the Bolshevik Invasion
of her territory. Prince Klrouz Mlrza,
the rerBlan Foreign Minister, had n
long conference to-night with Gregory
Krasslnc, Russian Soviet Minister of
Trade and Commcrcei The decision of
the council In putting oft any action
until the result of direct negotiations be
tween Persia and tho Soviet Is known
Allied forth sharp criticism In certain
sections of the British .press.
The Times captions Its editorial on
the subject "A Pompous Farco" and
calls yesterday's proceedings "humili
ating." It says: "Malice was the cause
of discredit being brought upon the
league."
"This body. (tho Council) was pledged
to tho furtherance of open diplomacy,"
complains the Dnlly Xcicn, "but tiirew
no light on tho text of tho corrcsrend
ence which hns passed between the Per
sian and Soviet Governments and cer
tain conditions alleged to have been
Imposed. This Is one way of killing
the league."
The Iterald. organ of labor, declares:
"The league Is already dead because It
never lived and this because tha men
who. formed It were militarists and lm-.
pcrlalists, greedy for power and ter
ritory." EXPERTS TAKE UP
CONSULAR SERVICE
Divergent Views Expressed at
Conference.
, Three varying views were expressed
last night by as many speakers on the
subject "Is the American Business Man
as Efficiently Served by HIj Govern
ment Abroad as Is His Foreign Com
petitor?" which was discussed nt a con
ference of the Council of Foreign Jlela
Hons held In the Astor Hotel.
Wesley Frost, foreign trade adviser
of the Department of State, declared
that a primary necessity Is providing
sufficient funds to attract able men Into
the consular service or bureaus ot the
Department of Commerce and to cir
culate the fruits of, their efforts.
William F. Collins of the American
Bankers Association, after opposing ex
tension of Government loans to rehnblll-
uuiuiicau uusmess, arsueil that
recognition and develODment nt fni.Vrn
service.
Eliot Vy'adsworth, who recently re
turned from central Europe, asserted
that the Government In the last few
years has been "supremely Indifferent"
about American dollars or citizens In
other countries, ai Instanced by Mexico.
Government service has not been elec
tive, In contequence, he said, and "dustv
i.li In Washington liuv received anil
