NEW YORK, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER ates in Washington, By WW Norris Tells of -Kaiser, Mr. Jap and John Chinaman gantly as Americans do for their amusement they like to feel that none of those who have contributed to their entertainment fall to receive their share of the money so lavishly poured out to that end.

"The President represented our Government at the Peace Conference," said Senator Norris, "and he knows what was presented there and what the facts are.

Tt is a matter of history that Great Britain and the other Allies did not make that secret agreement with Japan until 1917. At the time that agreement was made, all of Germany's possessions In China had been captured, and there was not a German ship on the Pacific, so that the President has not got his history on straight. I challenge the President to produce evidence to substantiate what he said in St Louis." The Senator announced that hs himself would relate the story of "the troubled community." In narrative form that usually begins "once upon a time," Senator Norris told the story of Shantung. Throughout his speech, which never was changed from Its allegorical style, nations were referred to as individ- uals, Germany being styled Bill Kaiser; Japan, Mr. Jap: Great Britain, France and Italy as John Bull, Mr.

French and Mr. Italiano, respectively, (while the United States was named Miss Columbia. Bill Kaiser, pictured as a husky fellow who trained himself in the use, I of firearms with the idea of despoiling his neighbors, the Senator said, "forcibly took the Shantung farm" from John Chinaman, and how later when the other members of the cbm-I munity were engaged in punishing Bill Kaiser, Mr. Jap, taking advantage of Bill Kaiser's preoccupation in other field's, seized the property. The Senator's story of the sittings of the Peace Conference included a i satirical account of the Journeys and I methods of Miss Columbia, one who "possessed a beautiful voice and had la wonderful command of language," adding that "She surpassed hy far the greatest of her sex in her ability to talk." Senator Norris declared that China had greater cause for complaint against the United States than against any of the other judges, for the seizure of Shantung makes it impossible I for China to bring products from other parts of the country without submitting to the rules and regulations that may be imposed by Japan.

Name Rev. Richard Fleming Dean of Brooklyn College The Rev. George Krlm, S. president of Brooklyn College, which will reopen tomorrow wdth the largest registration in Its history, last night announced important changes In the faculty of the Crown Heights Institution, chief of which was the appointment of a new dean. Father Krim also announced the heads of the various school activities.

The new dean and prefect of studies is the Rev. Richard Fleming, S. foi eight years dean of Loyola College, Baltimore. Father Fleming is a New York City man with a wide Brooklyn acquaintance. His new duties carry with them the position of vice president of Brooklyn College.

He is eminently fitted for bis work, being considered one of the foremost deans In the Jesuit Order In this country. Father Fleming succeeds the Rev. A. .1. McCaffray, S.

whose transfer to Boston College was announced early in the summer. The Rev. Hugh J. McNulty, S. who six years ago was prefect of discipline at Brooklyn College, was slated for Father McCaf-fray's post, but he has been serving as a chaplain in the Army and could not secure his release In time.

Father Krim made application for Father Fleming's transfer and his request was granted. Another noted Jesuit Instructor to come to Brooklyn College this year is the Rev. William F. Cunningham, for ten years In charge of the philosophy courses at Fordham University and St. Peter's College, Jersey City, and also head of the psychology course at the Fordham post-graduate school.

Father Cunningham will direct the junior and senior philosophy classes. The Rev. Augustus Fremgen, S.J, last season at Canisiua College, Buffalo, will be instructor of the freshman class. He has been active In en Murphy Sails To Study Robert Cushman Murphy, curator of the Department of Natural Science of the Brooklyn Museum, recently sailed for Peru, where he will spend three or more months in carrying out hydrographic and zoological re- searches In the Humboldt Current, The expedition is supported by an ap- i propriatlon from the Woodward Me- morlal fund of the Brooklyn Museum. although the American Museum of Natural History and the American Geographical Society have also made aotributons for the work.

Mr, Mur phy will make a study of the life in the Humboldt Current, the cold waters of which sweep northward along the west coast of South America almost to the equator and which are characterized by an extraordinary profusion of marine invertebrates and fishes. Mr. Murphy will also make collections of the ocennic bird lite, which in no part of the world is more abundant, and which is responsible for one of the I I I due hardship. Of course, if the actors have won as much as the early reports indicate the managers must have made concessions which will cut into their profits. But for any losses they must suffer they can blame only themselves.

Their re- fusal to deal with representatives of the actors, Instead of with individuals, drove the actors to the extreme step of joining the ranks of Union Labor. No union rules which have yet been devised fit the conditions under which actors work, and notnlng but extreme provocation or dire need could have led them to cross the barrier of professional pride which has kept them apart from their fellow workers. Having taken the plunge they justified their course and proved tnelr power by closing most of the theaters In the country. Their support by the Federation of Labor was so prompt and effective that the managers were movtd to go further than the terms which they offered on Friday and which were promptly rejected. La Follette's sixteen hours of talk was not wholly In vain.

He succeeded in forcing into the oil lands leasing bill three rather pernicious amendments. Any dangerous man is especially dangerous in a Senator's toga. Mr. Justice Cropsey Is no respecter of persons. He actually sent two union machinists to Jail for twenty days each for contempt of court.

"MORE POWER TO FRASER" Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: I wish to compliment John Fraser on his article "Our Inalienable Right," which appeared in The Eagle on Wednesday, September S. I was greatly impressed with his clear-cut exposition of the rights guaranteed to us by the Constitution of the United State of America and the fearless manner in which he assailed the Prohibition fanatics, both Republican and Democratic Representatives, or, rather, misrepresentatives, who were responsible for enacting the unjust amendment To our Constitution. This unholy combine of conspirators who blackjacked the people of their rights and liberties while our gallant soldiers were fighting in foreign lands to make the world safe for democracy will be remembered by the voters, should any of them run for office In tho future.

Their proper place Is behind prison bars instead of In the hallB of legislation. The splendid vote given to Reuben L. Haskell, the Republican Candidate for County was, as The ISaglt stated, a rebuke administered to the cause of Prohibition. I would be very much pleased and some or our ueroocrauc candidates would come forward assert mo courage of their convictions In tho manner that Mr. Haskell has done.

Now, to get back to John Fraser. More power to you for hit. ting the nail on the head.

They are also to ask for a clear definition of their rights to sell crops hy collective bargaining. It is certain that they are entitled to such knowledge, but It is equally certain that their rights should not transcend those of others. They have been pampered. OPEN PORTS FOR CERMANT. Long before the end of the war we were warned that Germany had cumulated vast quantities of bargain counter commodities with which world was to be "deluged" at "pauper" prices.

It Is now long after the war, and the flood Is yet to come. British toymakers are clamoring for what they call the benefit of a three-year exclusion of German goods, protesting that their admission will be fatal to their Industries. Sir Auckland Oeddes, Minister of Reconstruction, declines to take alarm. He answers: Germany has only a comparatively small accumulation of manufactured goods ready to export. Manufacturing costs in Germany are increasing enormously and it will be impossible for Germany to compete with us, even in the toy industry, for many years.

Germany la short of coal and haa materials, while the British Government expects a greatly increased coal production. We have absolutely nothing to fear from foreign competition in the near future. Suppose no goods are received from Germany for three years. British manufacturers would be hit as hard as th Germans. Germany is trembling on the verge of collapse and unless she gets her trade under way she will sink.

British industries will be helped, Instead of wrecked, by trading with Ger- Thus Is a pre-peace bugaboo consigned to oblivion. Thus, also, is a place found on the shelf for present misgivings, nothing being clearer man that Germany has a bard row to hoe. Meanwhile, the British are not slow to realize that when they help Germany they help themselves, and they are not losing any time about doing so. It Is different with us. Consuls will not be sent to Germany by this country until the Treaty has been ratified and the instrument is on the lap, not of the gods, but of a committee, to the members of which resumption of trade relationship must make obeisance.

For other countries, all the advantages of a flying start; for this country, the barrier. So runs the world of trade away. LA GUARDIA FOR A RECOUNT. Fiorello H. La Guardia, Representative in Congress and major in the United States Army Aviation Corps he served in Italy but not under the Italian flag, as has been incorrectly intimated is a fair-minded man.

He doesn't want a nomination for the presidency of the Board of Aldermen except as the honest choice of his party. He Is right, be is logical, and he is shrewd likewise in announcing that he will aid William M. Bennett's effort for a recount in any way possible, and that if Bennett needs money for the proceedings he can draw on him. The so-called Republican "boss" of New York County, Samuel S. Koenig, will also assist the re- This is a strictly American attitude.

La Guardia believes an honest victory was won. Bennett questions it. The votes are in the ballot boxes. If either side opposes such re-examination as is necessary to make sure of the result that side makes a political mistake. Perhaps most politicians believe that no recount would change the result: that Bennett is capitalizing his dramatic record on the Mayoralty fight of two years ago.

and that spectacular-ism is not evidence. But La Guardia ami Koenig cannot afford to act on any such hypothesis. ACTORS' STRIKE SETTLED. actors' strike has been Thi and several theaters closed by it reopened last evening. The early announcement says that the basis of the settlement includes the open shop, with full recognition of the Equity Association.

On their face those terms are contradictory, as the Equity is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, which does not countenance the open shop. The probabilities arc, bow-ever, that somebody in the Federation has cut red tape in the interest of common sense and Justice and has decided to allow actors to work without unionizing themselves. At any rale, the strike called by the Stage Hands Union upon every theater in tne country in which the Shuberts are interest-Hi has been called off, so the concessions must have been such as to satisfy Union Labor. What these concessions were In full has not been told at this writing, but among them is reported to be a minimum wage for chorus girls of $30 in this city and $35 on the road, which looks like a substantial victory for the actors upon a point In which they will command more sympathy than in their effort to unionize the theater. However, the terms of the agreement will bear diacusslon when they become fully known.

The great point is that the theaters are to be opened, under conditions that will remove injustices and hardships under which stage workers have long labored. As no class 1 so widely popular as actors, the Improvement In their conditions will be received with general public ap-iOTal. When people pay as extrava- had spent in France.

If one of the witnesses wno took the stand at Washington in opposition to the Plumb plan Is really represents the of those for whom he purported to speak, facts are coming into their own in unexpected quarters.

The presl dent of the Order of Railroad Station Agents described this plan: As the best ever devised to drive brains away -from the railroad bust-As being designed to wreck the railroad systems of the United States, physically and financially; As being so preposterous that, but for its support hy railroad employees, It would not even be discussed, and As being sure to destroy efficiency and to cause a tremendously increased outlay for operation, which the public would have to pay. This is what may be called hitting the line hard and straight from the shoulder. It is the more effective because it conies from a spokesman for thousands of the employees, who seem to be able to differentiate between a hawk and a handsaw. Such signs of sanity are all the more welcome because of their scarcity from such CHEAPER TELEPHONE SERVICE. We may have to wait for better telephone service until the company can build new central stations and install new switchboards, but at least we are to have cheaper telephones after this month.

The reduction of 8 per cent, on the rentals of instruments and the installation of the five-cent call to every sec tion of the city, offered by the telephone company and accepted by the Public Service Commission, means a reduction of for telephone users and is expected to cut the company's income by that much. The latter, however, is by no means certain. Every reduction of rates by a public service corporation is followed by an increased demand for service, and when telephones are cheaper more people will want to use them. If the company is really as much hampered by lack of labor in improving its facilities as it claims to be, this demand for new phones may embarrass it temporarily. It Is.

all too common knowledge that the central girls have more lines than they can care for competently. The wrong numbers which have become such an intolerable nuisance for the last year or so are probably due to hurry rather man to deafness or inattention, as irritated subscribers are inclined to think. If the increase of 'phones under the cheaper rates is going to impose more work on the central operators, lUbscrtbers will suffer more in annoyance than the 8 per cent, reduction in their monthjj" bills will compensate them for. LABOR, CAPITAL AND CONSUMER. Theoretically and perhaps as a concrete proposition, the suggestion that the consumer be represented at the Capital-Labor Conference in Washing-Ion is unassailable.

He happens to be everybody. Dividends, if any be declared, come out of his pocket, which is true of the contents of the pay envelope. If Capital be "predatory," he pays the price: if there be compliance with exorbitant demands from Labor, he pays the penalty. But what is everybody's business is nobody's business and as such it goes by default. It does not take a "seer" to anticipate what will happen at the conference.

The two parties in more immediate interest will be represented, possibly each advocate seeking to etronmvent the other. In each case this interest is special: in the ease of the consumer the interest Is general. As a matter of '10flal tatMMt wi" hp re- nr specialists, which cannot wp" otherwise. And hitherto it has 'un1 Should he ground. However, it is easy to take loo super- licial a view of the asperities of those who "pay the freight." A short-sighted assumption IS tnat In the long run It WI Capital to be too exacting, the fact being that it does nothing of the Wind -it ruins its own market.

Sim when Labor succeeds in extorting than "I he traffic will bear," soon- or later It kills the goose. Each can for the moment In the face of eco- laws bu' neither can long rise superior to them they pursue the NMr of their way, if not always evenly. The paramount essential Is that the two groups shall face each other at the conference not as foes, but as friends, ns occupants of the same boat It Is that they shall realize the axiomatic, If one pulls a forward and the other a backward stroke, there will be no progress, which is to say there will be a sheer waste of energy. If one rocks the craft with sufficient violence it will capsize. If each takes a commonienie examination will determine.

A serious telephone reflection is that lower rates are likely to increase profanity instead of lessening it, if business grows, and is harder to handle. KILLING BY RESERVATION. Our esteemed friend, the Tribune, insists that the issue between the President and the friends of the Peace Treaty, on the one hand, and the opponents of the Treaty, on the other, is not so broad as it seems. "Not a member of the Foreign Relations Committee." says the Tribune, "is recorded as opposed to ratification." It is merely, in the Tribune's judgment, a question of effecting ratification with or without the inclusion of reservations within the body of the ratifying resolu- Wlth all dne respect to a contemporary wnich is not hide-bound by partisan prejudice in its opposition to the President's point of view, the issue is not so simple as all that. The Senators who profess a willingness to ratify not only refuse to separate ratification and reservation, as the President urges, but they state their reservations in language that must insult every other government associated with ours in the work of negotiating the Treaty.

In framing the second, and most important, of the four reservations, the Committee on Foreign Relutions is not content with reaffirming the constitutional and exclusive privilege of Congress to declare war in support of our International policies. It proceeds to state in unmistakable terms that the United States shall assume no international obligation whatsoever, "except by the action and joint resolution of the Congress of the United States." This means, If it means anything at all. that we serve notice upon the world that we enter the League of Nations distrustful of Its purpose, contemptuous of its authority and suspicious of any measures it may take for the maintenance of peace. Under the terms of this reservation it would be superfluous for a President of the United States, through the Amer ican representation in the League Council, to confer upon disciplinary policies affecting a nation that threatened to disturb peace. The President already has the power, without eon-suiting Congress, to break off diplomatic relations with any government.

He can send an ambassador packing at a moment's notice. But reservation number two specifically withholds from him the cognate privilege of severing economic relations with an obstinate and bellicose nation, a power which, if exercised in conjunction with other governments, would in most cases bring the offending nation to its senses wttnout recourse CO war. wnenevcr ne was confronted witn a situation in which the help of the United States was needed immediately to preserve peace and maintain liberty anywhere in the world, the President, whoever he might be. would be compelled to say to the League authorities something like this: "Gentlemen, the United States has for the present no concern in what you say or do. Make what decision you please.

All I can do is to lay that decision before Congress for such actum as it mav care to take." Our adhesion to a League of Na-1 Hons on any basis that strips the Executive of all real authority in his dealings with other nations would be a joke, and a poor joke at that. Our partners in the war whose sacrifices and sufferings were infinitely greater than our own would be justified, even if they ignored the thinly veiled insult to their own good faith, in charging that our service to the League of Nations was that of the lip only, not that of the heart and hand. THE TENNIS PLATERS. The interest shown by the public in he thtrfv-elffhth unntml which came to a brilliant end with the victory of William M. Johnston of San Francisco over William T.
