THE LAST DRIVE
The coming Victory Liberty loan
will be the last
One more big job to pay for the
victory—or the immediate demands
of victory—and Liberty loans will be
history.
There must be no lagging by the
American people in the drive that will
come in April. It will not be a time
for excuses.
The same spirit that characterized
the last hour of fighting before the
armistice went into effect should be
shown by the stay-at-homes for whom
the Yanks fought in France.
Here is the official report of opera
tions in those last few hours of thei
war:
“The Third division advanced three
kilometers east of Breheville. De
spite increased resistance by machine
gun and artillery fire, the Fifth divi
sion continued to advance, capturing
eighteen prisoners, three large cali
ber guns, six minnewerfers and con
siderable material. In accordance
with the terms of the armistice, hos
tilities on the front of the American
armies ceaBed at 14 a. m.”
The Yanks didn’t shirk that last
job. Many gave their lives with peace
a matter of minutes away. Kvery
American at home worth the victory
won by those boys in khaki will work
as hard in the coming loan as in the
first.

NO TRUCE FOR REDS
No truce with the Bolshevikl! That
is the sound position taken by France
in the face of a strange case of politi
cal heart failure in Great Britain.
Let us concede that motives of the
loftiest benevolence and magnanimity
inspired Lloyd George and Balfour
• when they proposed to France that
even Bolshevik delegates be admitted
to the peace conference at Versailles
if a general truce of factions could be
established in Russia. Let us concede
that the British statesmen, guided by
the principle of peace on earth, good
will among men, felt that the peace
conference would be Incomplete if U
should meet to arrange world peace
while much of the world was still at
war. But, to employ the words of Pat
rick Henry, the gentlemen “cry peace
when there is no peace.” The conflict
between democracy and Bolshevism
is so deep that the presence of Trotz
ky and his followers at Versailles
-would introduce irrepressible elements
of discord.
In noble and elevated language Ste
phen Pichon, foreign minister of
France, has told us why there must
be no truce with Bolshevism. He de
clares that if the allies should allow
themselves to compromise with the
criminal regime in Russia they “would
gKe the lie to the principles of jus
tice and right which constitute their
force and honor and would give the
Bolshevik propaganda in the outside
world a power and extension to which
they would run the risk of being the
first victims.” And he trenchantly
adds:
“The French government, so far as
It is concerned, will make no contract
with crime.”
Democracy is the child of liberty
and Bolshevism is the child of an
archy and crime, and is simply fulfill
ing the mission of its /inheritance
when it turns the realms it controls
into infernal regions.
Never was a conflict more inev
itable than that between Bolshevism
and democracy. They are mortal foes
by their very nature. It is true that
foes may agree even before one side
has been beaten. It is tru that de
mocracy and Bolshevism might patch
up an operative compromise, bnt
would It be well tor the world? Would
the statesmen at Versailles be work
ing in the interest of prolonged peace
if they were to abandon much that
the crusading armies of democracy
have fought for? The lives our sol
diers have lived and the deaths they
have died warn us that peace must
be based on justice if it is to endure.
Chief among the objects for which
the allied armies contended was the
reign of law on land and on the seven
seas. To compromise now with the
fanatical zealots of Chaos would be
to abandon the goal just as it was
about to be attained.
We can judge of Bolshevism only
by* its teachings and its acts. We
know, for example, that in our own
country the I. W. Wi. stand for dis
order, destruction and crime. The
trial in Chicago of Haywood and his
mates disclosed to Americans a
dreadful system of sabotage of which
they had not deramed in their weird
est nightmares. Prior to that trial
most of us had formed but a vague
idea of the I. W. W. We were aware
that they started strikes without rea
son or excuse, that they taught the
unamiable practice of "soldiering on
the job,” but we did not know of the
myriad criminal methods they em
ployed to wreck the machinery of
government and our entire social and
economic system. They have consti
tuted themselves the destroyers of or
ganized society. They have declared
themselves the enemies not merely
of certain institutions, but of all in
stitutions which civilization had been
building for its own well-being in
blood and tears since Noah emerged
frm the Ark. These are the world’s
treasures. If they be illusions, mere
dream of gold, then the world has
been stark mad throughout its car
eer and there is no chance to set it
right.
The enemy who has just submitted
to the armies of liberty and justice
was no more determined to rule the
world than the Bolshevlkl are de
termlned to destroy the world. Wo
quite admit that they preach rebuild
ing from the ranks, that they voice
benevolent sentiments for the future
while wrecking and assassinating. w«
are even prepared to admit that
many of them are acting in good
faith. That makes them the more
dangerous.
Not long since Utah executed a
typical Bolshevist—Hillstrom. Sup
pose that Governor Spry, instead of
seeing to it that the just sentence of
death was carried out, had held a
peace cnference and had invited to 14
Hillstrom and all the criminals from
the state prison to establish colal
peace and Justice for Utah. He would
have been doing what the British
states, in their weak benevolence,
proposed that the allied nations
should do at Versailles.
• During four years we looked each
day for some sign of repentance
among the Huns. Today we look in
vain for repentance among the Bol
shevki. If they have no reason for
repentance, if they are right and all
l he rest of the world is wrong, why
hold a peace conference at all? Or
if we hold a peace conference why
should we not begin by turning it
over to the Bolsheviki with the ad
mission that democracy is a failure
a\d that they are free to work their
will with eivllizat’cn everywhere?
But if liberty regulated by law be
right, if the accepted principles of
morality and justice continue to be
our guides, we cannot compromise
with Bolshevism, and we cannot
make peace with Bolshevism. We
might as well hope to compromise
with a volcano. We must conquer it
or he conquered by it.
In this country we have use today
for the optimist and builder as never
before. If we make a truce with
Chaos we shall be destroyed by
Chaos.
