WAR AND AMERICAN POLICY
1 he effect nf the present European
conflagration upon the future of war
is one of the interesting speculations
of totlaj i'pinions runs the whole
gamut from that of the idealist optimist
who declares this is the Inst war to
that of tlie cynic who thinks the con
diet now going on will breed so many
enmities and so deepen traditional hos
tilities that as soon as the combatants
have recovered they w ill fall upon each
other again
Probably the truth lies between these
extremes it is reasonable to believe
that wars will In. less frequent in the
future than in the past, though this
may not appear during the next gen
eration if tlie exhaustion of Europe is
complete and no serious disturbances
lake place in Asia, or between oriental
forces and occidental, a period of peace
undoubtedly will follow Hut this
period of exhaustion may he followed
by a period of unstable equilibrium,
which may be marked by violent and
repeated struggles until another ad
justment is reached.
There is earnest hope, indeed, that aa
a result of (he staggering lesson Of
waste conveyed by the present war
something In the nature of a federa
tion of peace may lie evolved, allow
ing universal disarmament and the
submission of all international disputes
to a world tribunal, the decrees of
which will have their sanction in world
opinion and their support in an in
ternational executive backed by an In
ternational police force.
In the I'nited States especially this
seems a simple matter, and we have a
suspicion that Mr Bryan already has
his grip packed against his departure
to take his destined place ns first chief
justice of the supreme court of the
world Many members of the peace
society we are sure are working nights
on constitutions of the world There is
a keen sense In this republic of the
future, and sn abiding conviction that
we are going to preside over it We
In America have more than a suspicion
that when victory has perched upon the
banner of one party or the other in the
Kurupean war. or peace is sought by
the exhausted combatants, we shall by
Invited in the counsel table and possess
perhaps a controlling and decisive in
fluence upon the proceedings
These roseate expectations are
pleasant, but they will do harm If al
ii,.wed to affect national policy as they
may do through the Influence of Mr
Bryan. an Incorrigible doctrinaire,
whose faith in treaties cannot be
shaken by the mere facts of history,
past or present.
With doctrinaire pacifism stronger in
Washington than ever before perhaps
except during the regime of Jefferson
ind with a more pervasive pacifist
propaganda going on in the country
I'han is realized, there is need for an
ctive counter-propaganda, which shall
insist that our policy shall not he based
<n any expectation of the imminent
arrival of the millennium, that It shall
t ot l.e controlled by an unavowed peace
at any price sentiment, that it shall be
pacific without being pusillanimous,
thiit it shall not ignore facts either of
human nature or international rela
tions which do not square with the
hopes ..f the utopian pacifist that It
shall insist upon a reasonable acknow
ledgement of the f.nt that egotism and
J 'lishness and aggression are not
■■urged from human affairs and still
must he taken into account.
The perversion of the peace propa
- inda by impracticable* and sentimen
talists, which shows in opposition to all
measures for naval and military de
fense. ought to be challenged where
-ver it appears It does not represent
the main current of peace sentiment in
America, yvhich is sane, if rather in
genuous in some respects We are all
pacifists in the i'nited States, holding
war in detestation and mere military
glori in indifference or humorous con
tempt. This is so true that what we
need is to he waked up to the fact that
\to cannot afford to neglect national
defense on tin- comfortable theory lhat
wo are immune from aggression or free
from the entanglements of world rela
tions -Chicago Tribune
ALASKANS SHOULD BENEFIT.
Almost every section of the I'nited
States is awakening to the opportuni
ties to he grasped consentient upon the
present war. and Alaska must not he
behind the rest, for she has greater
undeveloped resources than almost any
other quarter of the globe.
We learn daily of certain industries

pendance on certain products of Eu
rope that they have neglected to main

Now for the first time we learn that

we put a shovel full of coal In the fire;
with tin at our doors, we pay tribute
to England every time we buy a car
of anything.
People on all sides are asking why
should we who are not at war pay a
war tax. Do they not realize that w«
have always paid It to Europe, or
every bright color vva have worn or
all manufactured cotton goods, and >r
117 by-products of coal alone, and n-uv
that Europe !s too busy to collect this

For when the war is over there will
be millions of men. men who have been
tried in fire, men who will be disgusted
with conditions that forced them to do
what they did. men who will be look
