THE HUNS DON’T LIKE IT
Whether the American people adopt the pro
posed League of Nations or not* there is one
thing certain, and that is the Huns don’t like
the idea, if we can judge by their newspaper
comments, “It is a league of t ms against Ger
many,” says one of them. Another finds it is
a great disappointment ami adds that it is
“merely an instrument to maintain the power
of England and America."'
The Huns haven’t improved much since the
armistice was signed a ; they still refuse to ad
mit that by their conduct in throwing the world
into war and by the methods they adopted to
carry it on, they lost their right to sit as an
equal nation among the decent nations of the
world, and thereby forced the civilized nations
to unite for their own preservation.
It is typically German that they should ob
ject to the league proposed by the allies as an
instrument of peace and war; for an agreement
between the allies to stand together will make
it virtually impossible for the Huns to carry out
that “next war” for which their military spirit
is hankering.
THERE IS HOPE HERE
The murder of Kurtz Eisner, the Bavarian
premier a few weeks ago followed by an attack
on the life of Clemenceau the French premier
and other murderous attacks on various officials
have not only furnished spectacular incidents,
but have given an accurate :iiare of the heat
in the European meltir net. at the same time
these events have been a benefit to the world,
speciallvto ns Americans because without the
occurrences their might have been danger for
not realizing how very serious the situa
ation and how great a danger the world was
from an uncontrollable outbreak of anarchy.
These events have served to put us on our
guard. For Russia, there seems no hope. That
country is so thoroughly in the hands of the
bolshevik that nothing seems possible; not even
a counter revolution on the oart of the masses
who have been freed from > every to be doubly
oppressed; for the one creative act of the pre
sent crowd of rulers has been the development
of an army that is sufficient 'Hong'to hold the
slaves down.
SENATOR LODGE'S warning
Just before congress adjourned recently the
senate took up the question of the proposed
League of Nations and Senator Lodge of Mgss.
addressed a large assemblage. According to the
reports, his points were that it would mean an
abandonment of the Washington warning a
gainst permanent foreign alliances, the virtual
abandonment of the Monroe Doctrine, the aban
donment of our control over immigration jgpd
other domestic problems? and-the substitution
of the government of the United States by
foreign people and foreign governments, in the
place of government by our own people. “In
the end” said the senator- “sltlfch sf league would
promote war instead of peace.” and concluded
with the following warning:
“We are asked to move away from George
Washington toward the other end of the line
at which stands the sinister figure of Trotzky,
the champion of Internationalism. We must
build no bridges across the chasm which now
separates Amarican freedom and order from
Russian anarchy and destruction.”
Even Hun women exaggerate. For instance:
A short time ago the first German woman to
speak in a German parliament began her ad
dress thus: “Gentlemen and Ladies.” Amer
ican will admit that this was quite a compliment
for the men, even though it was a gross exag
geration.
Surprise is expressed that some young women
should be sending flowers to the ex kaiser. But
there is nothing very astonishing about it that
we can see. Most other convicted murderers
whose cases have been given publicity are the
recipients of such attentions from degenerate
females.—New' York Times
By the way; are we going to put the clock
back an hour or so again this spring? Most of
the early risers love company, you know.
MR. WILSON AGAIN COMMANDS
Last fall, Mr. Wilson instructed, nay almost
commanded the people to elect a Free Trade Con
gress on the ground that any other would be a
repudiation of his policy. Note the result.
Ten days ago he instructed, nay well nigh com
manded the people to refrain from discussing
the terms of the proposed League of Nations,
until after he reached Washington and explain
ed it first. Note the result.
Last week he went to the Capitol, announced
his program of legislation and specified the or
der in which he wanted matters disposed of
He told the senators that he did not want long
speeches on the league of nations; he would
make all the arguments and speeches necessary
Note the result.
A 11 proposed reconstruction of legislation in
volving the industrial and commercial welfare
of the nation is held up, in order that Mr. Wil
son’s program, including the League of Nations
—a branch of his free trade policy—may oc
cupy the center of the stage.—Economist.
