THE OPEN DOOR
When tin* nations ge: together then* will be wish for an open door
and Amelin will have a hard time in shutting out the peoples of any land.
The Americans want the right to go nnywl « re in the world and how can they
justly refuse others what the\ insist upon for themselves? If the;, send mis
sionaries t•'*' the S. negambinns. how ran they refuse admission to the Sene
gambian missionaries who would come over here to convert the single-taxors
from tin* errors of their ways?—(Los Angeles Times)
THE COSTS OF WAR
(From an Exchange)
Never have iae tinances of civilization been so involved. The gross
debts of the nation^ of the world are more than $200,000,000,000. The interest
«>n those debts alone is •••pinl to the gross cost of national government in tho
world before the war. \dd t • that amount another $150,000,000,000 represent
ing the amount <>t wealth destro.'od during the war and tho financial status of
modern society is f..irl> visualized. A new adjustment «.f industrial values
will be unavoidable. The tinaneial system of each of the Allied countries was
« iu..l to the strain placed upon it and the p pie are coming to an appreciation
t'at th« financiers had hnikied better than we knew.
America’s greatest industrial menace lies in a peace treaty that would
"remove .11 economic barriers." Free trade and nationalization of industries

mi the giving to works of amelioration and healing, we beheld such an out
'Urst of eager self sacrifice and warm generosity as lighted the common wa'
through the dark days of war. The rich man gave Ms thousands and tin
widow- her mite. It was an unloosing of purse strings and the springs of thi
human heart.
On the other side, in the trenches. our men faced death with a glory it
their eyes. Lighting together for the ideal of equality, freedom and fraternity
class distinctions based on the mere possession of money, birth or of edueat
ten. gave way to the real democracy which attests the worth of men by thei:
humanity, their love of fellows, their willingness to die for a cause that it
lust. Our boys were baptised in the fire of that Americanism which hold:
1 tn great heiritagr more precious thanyiife. and when they come back the)
will still be ready to tight on. if fighting be needed, that “government of thi
people, by the people, for the people shall not perish /ram the earth."
With the war over, grave problems of readjustment, of repairing tin
min of war. challenge us. Shall not the spirit which was horn out of the self
sacrifice and travail of the war be translated into a practical humanitarianism
db-PPerative working together permanently to the common weal? It wil

They are at work now. here and abroad, seeking to undo ail that ha:

age and revolution. They are taking advantage of the verr problems whicl
the war has produced—problems which only peaceful co-operation can solve
i.i foment .serial unrest. They threaten that the whirlwind which wrecked
l.usaia will sweep the world.
In the surrender of Germany. America and the Allies won a victory
over organized military might, over the most formidable autocratic power the
world has ever seen. As that tyranny went down, another tyranny has arisen.
It is the tyranny of ignorance and inhumanity, prejudice and persecution, of
mob malico and savagery, of the worst human passions incited and played upon
for their own advantage by artful demagogues. Shall the terrible struggle
of tho war aginst armed autocracy end only in universal mol) chaos? Shall wo
nave given our best blood to dethrone one Ctosar only to let bigoted and brut
ish despots, such as Trotsky and I<enine, extend a bloody rule over us? Shall
wo have peace or social war? fc?hall we have good will or a. reign of hate?
Shall the dark forces of disintegration and anarchy he permitted to undo all
that was achieved out of the agony of war and turn into dead sea fruit the
very blessings of peace?
Or shall we not, quickened through the war to higher concepts of dutv,
work so together for the general good that these evil winds will die away?
Shall we continue in such a spirt of conciliatory cooperation, such unity of
I impose and ideals in the work of readjustment and re-construction as will
"ill render inert forces which would take advantage of the difficulties of these
disturbed and unsettled times? The task of the readjustment of industry,
of labor and of society to the normal conditions of peace are formidable—yet
the task will be done as the work of war was done, and we shall have made
stej^s alu-ad. Of the future, not ignoring present dangers, we have hope. For
as : e'er In-fore, the world rises with a new sflrit to meet the ruvV.ems and
