CORDOVA, ALASKA, Tin RSI)AV, SKITKMHKR liS, l!Hi;,
a aiuri ujf nui'is.
A real sign of hope conies from London. The Nation has
been a great newspaper for years. It has maintained its power
by keeping its fingers on the pulse of British opinion and at tin*
right time giving it expression through its types.
\\ hen now it cals a halt to the war and the beginning of
of negotiations for peace, it does so knowing that it is express
ing the will of the English people. It means that though the
allied armies are winning on all the battle fronts, the end of the
war though the utter overthrow of the Teutons is not yet in
sight, and that the horrors of continuing the war in the present
extremity of all engaged in it has become intolerable.
We wish that the president of the United States and the
Pope of Rome would now renew their appeals for peac and
their offers of help in negotiating that peace.
The proposition for a truce and for negotiations for peace
could now come with perfect grace from the allies.
They have assumed the aggressive, and their armies are
now steadily winning their bloody way. Apparently Teutons
are everywhere on the defensive.
The allies could now with perfect honor ask (dermanv if she
does not think it time to hush the thunders of war and to t ry to
return to tin* rules of reason to settle their differences. Much
will have to lx* conceded in order to negotiate a peace treaty.
But if they wait until one side is altogether exhausted', much
will have to be conceded then.
There is another matter over which (Ireat Britain and
France should be concerned. If the war continues much longer
w hat position will Russia and .Japan in close alliance assume?
What if the war should finally become a war between Asia and
western Europe?
There is danger in teaching accomplished savages the me
thuds of war. France and (Ireat Britain live by their foreign
* : u<le. They must see the rivals which the war is educating.
Is it not time to stop the shedding of western Europe
blood .’
We believe the article in The Nation will be hailed by all
western Europe as a rift ill the cloud' of war; as a sign that
above those clouds there is still sunshine and warmth. We are
'lire that il will be hailed joyously in all the myriad homes to
which no light has come for two long years.
And really those homes should lx* hooded. They have
given up tin* millions of lives that have been sacrificed. Is it
not time the sacrifices should cease? There will have to be a
settlement no matter how long postponed. Why not begin it
now?
FLAG OF TRUCE INSTEAD OF GOLD.
The New York American foresees revolution in Europe
and repudiation of debts, with great losses to the United States
by reason of recent loans, and it argues that we shouldn’t lend
any more to any of the belligerents. It thinks we should be
sending a flag of truce instead of gold shipments, and plm ing
our pacific attentions where the warring powers can get a
good look at them, possibly with the result of asking us to up
ply them somewhere in Europe. To be sure Europe ought to
know by this time that a great many Americans are in favor of
peace at any price, and that a great many more want it just tin*
moment there seems to he danger that the interest won’t be
I laid.
