Ketchikan, Alaska, Monday April 14, 1919
IT LOOKS QUEER FROM A ' TANGE
A report a short time ago had ii that a man
well versed in German conditii; if. that it was
his opinion that the Spartocan and other boistei
ous movements in Germany were kept alived
only as a means of blackmail against the allies.
That when the peace treaty is signed,all this
lamentation will cease. That ' ’many then will
have used the Spartacans to ih u utmost to black
mail the allies into sending food and granting
merciful conditions of peace, the trouble makers
will have served their purpose and will disappear.
A Swiss newspaper followed this statement
with the opinion that the chan e in ( srman gov
ernment was one of name only. That the officials
who governed under the kai or are till in prac
tically every office. That most of the leaders,
are the same. That the mass of German opinion
is the same and that the Spaviacu movement
is an affair that will be disposed of when it suits
German purpose to do so.. Conclusively, a re
volutionary party that is led by such men as
von Bernstorff and Dr. Albert and welcomes
home the arch-murderer Luc1 rlorff, looks queer
at least from a distance, an people will
agree that Germany needs vat chin
NO CAUSE THAT WE CAN SEE
It is still being predicted th it the :ountry will
meet some social and industrial urn st before we
can return to pre-war conditions. But that is
inevitable in a time of char o such as that we
are passing. But we see no real asis for the
panicky utterances o phots of
evil whose voice is being heard ever day.
That the country is on a -on id e ■lomic basis
cannot be questioned. We have laws with which
to protect the liberty of the ’’ ’ivw.ial without
permitting license either to the iodi idual or to
a mass of individuals. Our count' has before
it an era of industrial develops: rtF . will more
than absorb the men who have ’ vs thrown out
of employment as a conseque o he change
from a war basis to a peace basis. As a matter
of fact, the period of change may be said to be
well advanced. Industry is meeting the changed
conditions in the majority of cases. A willing
ness to cooperate between capital and labor is
apparent. One of these fine days we will wake
up and discover that the terrors of readjust
ment so dreaded by some, were mostly one big
bogy, that the transition period is over and that
the country is working under forced draft to
keep pace with the gigantic opportunities for
development of industry and commerce which
the war opened for it.
There have been misunderstandings between
our government delegates at the peace confer
ence and the governments of theallies in Europe
admits a British official. That is not surprising
Our country’s traditional isolation from Europe
has been a handicap in dealing with the peace
situation as it did with the war. However, the
nonce treaty is to be ready for signature this
week. From that we assume that the misun
derstandings referred to by the British official
have been smoothed over, for which the whole
world is thnkful.
It is quite generally conceded that the re
turned soldiers are entitled to their old position
if they so desire. That is an elementary fact
in the repatriation situation, and while this is
not always the case, it is generally observed.
FUTILE ANGER
Why the President should feel chagrin over
recent events in Washington may be readily un
derstood. He is fully aware of the significance
of the notice which the Senate has openly serv
ed upon him.
Any dream of omnipotence' any thought that
he reigned alone with a power that exceeded that
of the kaiser, and that his role is not to co-oper
ate and to consult, but to command, has been
rudely broken. He is under no illusion now. His
boastful implication that he is the only one who
1 nows the thought of America is hollow, pathe
tically so. It may please him to continue to call
out. as a new Mahomet, “Allah is Allah and I
am the prophet of Allah-’’ but the words lack au
"ity. Neither the senate nor the people are
willing to be ordered about as if children to
whom it is unnecessary to explain.—New York
Tribune.
Germany is trying to dictate terms accord
ing to the bolshevist map of Europe, instead of
according to the military map, as Von Beth
mann-Hollweg attempted two years ago. All
of which makes the allies regret that they did
no go on to Berlin.—Portland Juornal
