AMNESTT TWO VIEWS. Our iiolghlmr liie New York World, ttandliiB for a general amnesty to po. litical prisoners convicted of antagonizing the prosecution of the war, finds much in a symposium where several prominent citizens agree with it, and some disagree. Archbishop Hayes agrees. He says: I am fully in accord with the tug- peat ton.

From time Immemorial exercise of the prerogative of mercy on the part of rulers haa been regarded aa one of the noblest functlona of government. The Christmas spirit. In deed, will reach deeper and further Into the hearts of the nation. If political prisoners who stumbled In patriotic duty and strayed away from the paths of loyalty are pardoned, with "CJo, and offend no more." The Rev. Father John Belford dis agrees, and, as Is his custom, disagrees vigorously.

He remarks: I am opposed to a general amnesty, and I am opposed to permitting the Goldmana and Berkmans to get back Into this country, either directly or indirectly. Offenders against govern ment such ag ours Is, should be treated as other offenders are and made to serve their terms with the usual re mission for good behavior. The Debs type of mind Is a dangerous one tn this country. We may conjecture that difference of temperament Is responsible for the difference of judgment between the priest and the archbishop. The priest is ns free as his superior to have nn opinion and to express it.

Indeed, as a matter of pure logic, leaving huiuaiu sentiment out of the priest seems to have a certain udvuntage. "Go and offend no more" Is a wise dismissal of penitents. But Dels and those who think with -him many of them are sincere thinkers and not without tbe spirit of martyrdom are not penitent at all. They would scorn a pledge to refrain from opposing Gov ernment again, even in a war emer. geney.

Who shall say that tbey will offend no more when they will not say It themselves? Sooner or later this amnesty question will have to be settled, probably by a compromise. Up to date, so far as the country knows, the views of Attorney General Daugherty and of President Harding do not differ much from those of Father Belford, but they are politicians as he is not, and must In time be influenced by public sentiment, in the creation, of which logic plays an almost negligible part. RAT POISON ON SANDS STREET. For many years the part of Sands street close to the entrance of the Navy Yard has invited police attention, because of the number of "fences" where "junk" surreptitiously carried out of the Yard could find a market. It jumps into new notoriety as a section where rat poison Is shamelessly sold to sailors at fifty cents a drink.

One drink is reported to have killed a fireman on the Pueblo. It is indicated that at least a dozen cases of severe poisoning have been reported within a week. The fireman mentioned died in a hospital, but he was first taken to the Naval Y. M. C.

A building in an unconscious condition. Officers of the Navy Yard, Federal Prohibition enforcers, and the Naval Y. M. C. A.

are co-operating to check the rnt poison dispensers. That is ns it should be, of course. The work Is well worth while. But people who think on common sense lines will realize that the primary responsibility for conditions named rests on the police force of the City of New York. They are supposed to know, and as A matter of fact nobody doubts that they do know, the nature of the plnces that have to be watched 011 Sands street and in the Navy Yard section.

Under State law it Is incumbent on them to get warrants for searches wlure they suspect Illicit sules of alcohol even in safely drinkable form. The Prohibition enforcers nre not equipped for such work. The Naval Y. M. C.

A. is not equipped for It. And no patrol of city streets by Navy Yard men will be ordered from Washington. Such a patrol would be a distinct infringement on the police powers ami the police responsibilities of the State of New York. Our hope is that the police will wake AnfW faaii'y C.4mm4 1L G.

Envisaging the likelihnm of ofipn wet lietween the Biillning Trades Etuployerv AsMK'iation and the building trad-s unions as organized hy Brindell It iy as well be taken Into account that the resources of the striker arc very considerable and that Ihey have the "stomach for a fight. Drastic revision of the wage scale will be demanded at the Wednesday meptins of the, employ-ers' board of governors.

Also cbangrs in the rules which will slip slacking and permit discipline. The answer of the meu is given In advance by Patrick J. Crowley, who succeeded Brindell: "Living costs nre not polng down. The Building Trades Council consequently cannot stand for any wage cuts." Last summer the employers asked tlu men to accept a flat out of $1 a day In the Interests of the Industry, I ready stimulated by tax-exemption' legislation. Tbe offer was rejected.

The old agreement was Insisted on. It expires on January 1. It was and Is pernicious In its effects on home building as on other building. Bricklayers, plumbers, masons, bousesmiths nre getting tbe peak of war wages. They are barring the introduction of time and labor-saving devices.

They are limiting the number of men permitted to work in some trades. Brindell planned all these features. He was a genius In his way Yet It may be said In fairness that Brindell's relations with the employers were not altogether unpleasant. He was a man of power and a man of his word. His scheme to pass on hljih wages, the costs of slacking, the cost of ignoring labor-saving devices to the man who wanted to build' a house did not hurt the employers save as it lessened the number of men who would venture to build.

Unlike shoe-making, garment-making and a dozen other industries, building is not affected by outside competition. You can't put up a bouse in Connecticut and have It moved here. And henee the congestion in housing may 'be partly attributed to the extortion of Labor and the complaisance of employers. If the combination Is to be broken now, the result will be advantageous to the whole metropolitan- community That it can be broken without a loiig struggle in which employing builders will have to stand together is not a common belief among those who are familiar with the field. THE REAL GREATER NEW YORK.

The plan proposed by the Port Au thority would not only control the freight facilities of this city, but those of a strip of New Jersey running from Pierinont on the north to below South Amboy and New Brunswick and reaching as far west as Summit and Plain- field. Over this large area the Port Authority would have equal jurisdic tion in the one matter committed to it, thus making a metropolitan area com parable in some respects to that of London; the area occupied by the 000 people with whom London is cred ited. This comparison is stimulated by figures of area and population given out by the Port Authority. These fig ures show some a little more square miles of habitable territory under the jurisdiction of the Port Au thoiity, against a few less than 700 square miles in London: with a popu lation, of 8.000.000 in the New York territory to 7.2."8.0O0 for metropolitan London. Such figures of population have always had an Influence over the Imaginations of men far exceeding their actual Importance.

The most slg ullicant Instance of that influence In our local history was the effect of the great growth of Chicago shown by the census of 1800, and the loud boasts from that city that in the next decade she would equal -r pass New York. Until that time consolidation of the Greater City of N'ew York had been merely an academic question advocated by a few far-sighted men, like J. S. T. Strana-Iiiiii and Andrew H.

Green, but bitterly opposed by Brooklyn and the outlying territory, which feared the loss of local lights through being swallowed up. But the possibility of Chicago becoming the largest city of the country set the movement ou lis feet, and in ISO, consolidation became a fact. It Is of merely sentimental Importance whether we can stretch a string around enough territory In New Jer sey to enable us to clnlm the Port of New York ns the largest metropolitan area lu- tbe world.x But tho rapid ewtloa of haw followed tbp corp of tap Ford, and Deteja a ad Cohalaaa and realiie that Othello 'a oc-rtipalloa would be com If tbp IrUa agitator under lap AnterV-ta tag wrer la sad prosperous.

And yet la Dublin the nam of De Valera la tbp tnauiMay ef the foea of the treaty, which the agt lalora berp want to have tin a bed.

Such little contradWtlona are In the nature of Irish bulls. It waa remarkable also that two or three clergymen were active In attacking Ihe peace pact, though In general the prickle of Ireland and of America have given it hearty support. We wont know and hare no reason to think we ran find out wbetbpr Ibe Cohalan crowd ran raise Ihe large sum Ihey promise to put Into a bate-for-England campaign. Doubts are permissible. Love of Ireland was the mo-live of most past contributions, of which fino.000 wax Invested in Irish Republic bonds, which will be redeemed if the treaty wins, and may never be redeemed if it falls.

But all the information from Dublin seems to indicate a victory for tbe treaty In Dall Elreann, a growing belief that De Valera In his opposition is merely playing Ihe role of a strategist, a growing belief that opposition is ostensible rather than real. Such information pleases the genuine friends of Ireland. It gives promise that other than sordid motives will prevail, and that American money, even if the were available today In Dublin, could not purchase a rejec tion of the treaty which England offers In good faith to end the evils of the centuries. 2.iA3' eJAMX FRANCE FACING THE FACTS. The prospective meeting of Briand and Lloyd George to frame a practical reparations policy should bring results, For the first time since the armistice French newspapers are telling their readers the disillusioning truth that Germany cannot and will not meet the reparations payments outlined In the Loudon ultimatum.

And Instead of counseling, as they did a year ago, an Immediate Invasion of the RufiV tlwy favor a genera! conference of the Allies to readjust the demands. Sanity is gradually replacing hysteria. Whether the whole financial structure of the German Republic can be saved from collapse Is doubtful. The printing of paper murks to meet reparations payments has gone beyond all bounds. Even the gullible Investors in America and elsewhere who have been lending the German Government inoiV'V without Interest by buying these marks have exhausted their speculative optimism.

There is nothing else available to meet tbe obligations due the Dutch bankers in December for loans to pay the lust reparations payments, tnt. there is only a slight, accumulation of foreign credits' to meet the January 15 payment due tbe Allies. At the same time the German budget for 1921 shows a deficit of 101,000.000,000 marks. It takes something more than optimism to'see a way out of this situation short of what used to be called repudiation. There Is talk of an economic conference to follow the Disarmament Con ference.

Secretary' of Commerce Hoover is right in pointing out this morning that such a conference can accomplish nothing until- the repara tlons issue is settled. He says: "The American people cannot enter until those who have control of the repara Hons have settled this major-Issue Upon so sound an economic basis that we can look upon the future of Europe with confidence." Firmly and enthusiastically the Citl zens Union Indorses Honest Dau Costl-gan. The alignment of citizenship pre and con on the present police administration is not complete, but it is fast progressing toward completion. Capital's tyrannous grinding of the faces of the poor meets a check. Photo-engrnvers absolutely refuse to work forty-eight hours a week to earn their $50 minimum.

And while other unions cry, "Sic semper tyrannls," the end Js not yet. State mayors want more laws to prevent nuto Our suggestion would be more and more honest detectives. The punishment of grand lnrcenlsts Is of vastly more importance than many things which the police have time to do. Hcrrera's downfall in Guatemala is not a cheerful Incident of Central America's federalization movement. Climate counts for something.

12 In the concluding of the "quadruple entente," or "the accord of the Pacific," which are the terms generally employed here to describe the results of Saturday's plenary session of the Washington Conference, France, for the moment, anyhow, considers she can give her undivided attention to the new accord or discord which must soon result between herself and England over Germany. As a matter of fact, France has treated Washington as of secondary importance to either London or Berlin ever since the moment Premier Briand pronounced her position on land armaments and embarked for home. Today's press, except for superlative comment on "the moving eloquence of Rene Vivian! in associating the I name of France with the agreement," I devotes far more spac? to the forth-I coniins visit Premier Briand to 'London. Although Washington 'has admittedly made great progress toward a new world policy and world peace, in Paris one again considers the new gathering of the "supreme coun- cil of the Allies" and the pourparlers of government chiefs concerning the I dozen great and unsettled problems that still endanger every European 1 pleasure that France is to participate in keeping the peace of the Pacific, one hears the somewhat cynical reflection that "France will certainly have occasion to act more than once as arbitrator in this association of gov CHINA WANTS PART "Five-Power" Agreement Urged.

We nre shortly to take part in an economic and financial conference. Ultimately we are to saiu-tinn some kind of a tribunal to adjust non-political differences be- twren nations. It is all ipiite dazzling and somewhat coiifusiiip, in spite of the declaration of Senator Lodge that the treaty made on Saturday is chiefly for its simplli-ity. The first of Genesis Is simple enough, 'bnt the events described were both far-ieai'liiiig and complicated. There are enough implications In this first to keep the most profound stu-; 'dent of international affairs burning the midnight oil for many months to come.

There are many more questions in thoi imposed nine-power treaty that arc liiesciinablo. Will it make us a party to the control of Manchuria by Japan? Will it put the United Stntes behind agreements between China and Japhii concerning Shantung and other Chinese territory? In case of differences between Japan and China in future, arc we to stand by Japan? How are. ucli issues to be determined In casoiof serious disagreement? What is to be Japan's interpretation of the proper attitude for the United States to take toward upper Sakhalin? What agency is to decide what are and what nre not "purely domestic questions?" Are the French people to assume that we are more for the security of American trade in China, or for preserving the status quo In tbe South Sea Islands than we do for preserving the status quo in Europe? Do we still shrink from a tripartite agreement to protect France from future German nggresiort. after signing a treaty to preserve the integrity of territory taken from Germany by Japan? Are we ready to help stabilize China and guarantee her sovereignty and independence while refusing to help stabilize Europe? Answers to nil 'of these questions may come in time. Many of them should be furthcoming as the work of the Conference develops.

Others will depend upon future conferences which we are assured will follow this one. Hut this treaty and all others binge upon the disposition of the Senate. If the Senate can be Induced to ratify this tM'sf pact, anything seems possible. We lv ljeve Anicrb an opinion will demand ratiliciition and that fho Senate will respond. If the lirst barrier is passed the others should be comparatively It will then become possible to do by numerous treaties what former President Wilson found it Impossible tn do under ii single treaty.

President Harding is appronching the problem of organizing world peace fromsthe rear after taking the long way around. It will take longer, ami there are obvious hazards in the more IcdloMs and more complicated method, but so long as the purpose remains the same and it is kept clearly in mind those who sincerely want peace will not iptnnel with the means employed to attain It. Aineriea's failure to take the direct mute toward International organiziition has been costly and dangerous, but we seem to be on the right road at last. We are entirely willing Io follow the Administration all around Robin Hood's barn ami through the ihckest anil thickest forests of do-incs'ic and foreign exigencies so long i It promises to bring us out In sight real pi nee.

"Conversations" between George and Briand will retain some old-time untheoreticaf, but decidedly diplomatic flavor, as is evidenced from ofB-cial reports of the recent visit of M.

Loucheur to British Finance Minister Sir Robert Home. The plan for the French Minister for Devastated Regions also to meet Mr. Lloyd George was not on the program. The invitation for him to visit Chequers Court was a surprise to Lloyd George, which resulted in arrangements for Lloyd George to "get together" with Briand himself and to hear, among other items, one agenda, all "inner French opinion" on Washington tbe two Allied Premiers being at their ease in the matter and far from where anything matters. "Re-establishment of contact" between French and British ministers on such a basis is undoubtedly what both desire, judging from the report on M.

Loucheur's trip, which reads: "The trip of M. Loucheur was only to get into touch and was not to achieve direct results. The resuming of conversations between the French and British ministers was essential. The prior meetings between Dr. Rathenau and M.

Loucheur had only the importance of courtesy. They did not in any degree constitute a counterpart of the Anglo-Franco conversations, and nothing could be a greater error than to imagine that they are the preface of a triple entente on the financial situation.

The orchestration bad meritorious transparency and good Gallic flavor. But the excellence of its performance, particularly Mr. Burrere's individual contribution, seemed wasted. Quite by accident Mr. Smith was discovered in the audience and was obliged to bow three times.

If Mr. Grainger has nothing else, he has imagination. There was nobility and a flowing dramatic line. In Emllio Gogorza's de livery of Agamemmon's aria from the Gluck opera "Iphigonil en Aulide."
