BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
(From tin- Now York World)
President Wilson has been accorded a magnificent reception' in Paris,
but what docs it all mean in terms of peace? That is what chiefly concerns
the American people, and in the largest measure "f the national welfare that
is practically their whole concern.
Mr. Wilson, Mr. Lloyd George, Mr. Clemenceau and Mr. Orlando aro
not making a private peace. They are determining for weal or woe the destiny
of the world for the next hundred years P.y going t<> Europe. J'resident Wilson
lias sacrificed all the advantages that came from distance and detachment,
is it 1»\ means certain that corresponding advantages will accrue from the
applause of the Paris crowds? We should like to believe that such wouM
prove the case, but-there is no evidence whatever to sustain that theory.
Long before the President was greeted by enthusiastic citizens of
Fin nee, the Prime Ministers of Great Britain, France and Italy met in London
to discuss the preliminary terms of peace. The result of these discussions is
still enshrouded in mystery, but the correspondent of The World reports a
general belief among the governing circles of the Entente countries that “the!
President has been forestalled.” That means neither more nor less than that
the Entente Governments have privately pledged themselves to make a Euro
pean peace along the familiar lines of the diplomacy that was responsible for
this war. In that, case the United States Government could hardly be ex
pected to become a party to it.
It is all very well for the President to speak at the Hotel de Ville yes-1
terday about "the full fellowship of those people here and throughout the
world who reverence the right of liberty and justice,” but that fellowship must
lind expression, if it is to be expressed at all, through Governments. To sav
that the Governments with which the President is now to deal personally aro
generally regarded as hostile to the kind of peace that he advocates is merely
tc state a fact of common knowledge everywhere except in the United States.
Perhaps the American people themselves are partly responsible for thi3
situation. During the last four years so many of them have been ardently
pro-British or pro-French or pro-Belgian or pro-German that they have forgot
ten about the vital necessity of being pro-American. Now that the test has
come, their own foreign sympathies are being turned against them in support
of a peace which bears little relation to the ideals for which they have been
sacrificing and fighting.
There are optimists who believe that the appeals the President is
making must inevitably have a powerful influence upon European Governments.
They may be right, but so far the President has been able to say nothing that
1 e could not have said with much more telling effect at home. If the tradit
ions of European diplomacy are overthrown and a peace based upon true lib
erty and justice is finally established, humanity will owe its debt of gratitude
mainly to President Wilson, but it cannot be said that the present outlook is
particularly bright. Popular applause is only empty sound unless it can
change the course of Governments that are more concerned about the im
mediate political value of the spoils of war than about the future peace and
security of mankind.
ANARCHISTS
( From the Uawson News)
The wells of human consciousness probably never wore so oecpiy
and so widely touched on behalf of humanity as today. Before the age of
steam, electricity and the telephone and the radio, the peoples of the world
lived far apart and were singularly unacquainted and as a consequence pecul
iarly enstranged. Tne new agencies of rapid communication have brought
the common touch of brotherhood, ami have swept down the burners of mon
opoly or exclusiveness in education. Institutions for the benefit of all mankind
are the common idea and the goal, and rivers of blood have been waded to
1 uild up the structure of demoefrey. Good government is being substituted
by better government, and the process of betterment is incessant. Events
change so rapidly and progress is made so speedily that what is the most pro
gressive today will be out of date tomorrow.
Vet with all this progress, there must be maintained the highest re
spect for order and law, for the institutions of justice. Men who do not reegg-,
itize. this necessity and abide by the processes of law in securing their reforms
and in supporting government are anarchists. It has been shocking to read
that such have assailed some of the most eminent statesmen of late. Clem-i
enceau was struck by the bullet of an anarchist. Yesterday's dispatches also]
say that anarchists met and conspired to shoot down many noted premier. .
Fortunately, the conspirators were thwarted in most of the places.
Three of the new rulers of the republic of Bavaria fell last week be
fore assassins’ bullets. One of the assassins was a former nobleman. That
lie onco bore the glamour of that select rank does not excuse him from the
odium of anarchy any more than the kaiser is excused from universal ex
ecration as an arch-anarchist. That erstwhile nobleman belonged to the re
pudiated and discarded piece of Hohenzollern furniture, and for that very rea
son is all the more detestable in fils role of anarchist.
The conspirators who also are seeking to overthrow the established
government of Portugal might be put in a similiar class of anarchists, for the
word “anarchy,” in its analysis, means in literal English, “against govern
Other similiar assailants on established law and order the world over
deserve the brand of anarchist. Many such dangerous individuals are being
rounded up in Britain, and America and in other lands and deported. It Is
to he hoped the good work of weding them out will go on steadily to a de
finite conclusion. Anyone a party to attack on good governments recognized
1 y the allied and democratic nations of the world should not he allowed refuge
in the Allied nations any more than anarchists who start a similiar hell at
home. Ret the whole nest of anarchistic rattle-snakes be cleaned out the
world over, and clear the way for democracy t^ bring on the acme of good
government through the sane process of ttye ballot and constitutional legislat
ion.
