CLOTHES AND HEALTH
(Now York Sun)
It would b. interesting if the health department could discover which
>ct of men yields more easily to the influenza germ—the careless eoatless, who
try to make their circulatory system keep them warm, or the set who go
ulstered and perspiring. The inquiry need relate only to men. It has long
Keen established that women pay no such heed to heavy clothing as men do,
anil that they, bare of throat and back, and wearing autumn furs only fov
fashion, are not such easy prey to germs as their more cautious husbands.
The female of the species is more husky than the male.
THE HUN -PEACE OF JUSTICE"
(Tacoma Ledger)
A “peace of justice" is the peace the Hun has said he seeks. Any
other kind would humiliate him and leave grounds for future wars. A “peace
of justice” is what he is going to get. too. but then- may be different views
as to what Constitutes “a peace of justice.”
While the Germans have been talking about the necessity of a peace
that will conciliate all interest, they should read again some of the statements
• if their own war lords in the days when they were victorious. Then Germany
dnl not worry over tho world conciliation. It applauded when the kaiser de
clared indemnities from bis enemies would pay the cost of the war.
Socialists vied with junkers in appropriating in print whatever territory they
thought would lie advantageous to German interests.
Monsters in the times of their prosperity, they cannot easily make the
world believe adveristy has at once changed them into men.
QUO V A D I 8 ?"
(Valdez Miner)
Nearly two thousand years ago, a certain man, the Apostle Peter, put
tiiis question to the Prince <>f Peace, as he trod the Appian Way. “Wither
guest thou?”. And two thousand years later an anxious people are asking tho
same question of the Present Pay Prince of Peace. The situation in the Unit
* d States is the most serious in the history of our beloved country. We have
rienl Europe of anarchy and Bolshevism and left our ow». gates open. Wo
I avo put out the lire in our neighbor’s home to carry a firebrand into our own.
We waged war on militarism in Europe and fastened its tentacles upon the
free- peoples of America. It is well at this time to stop and ask ourselves
wither are we drifting as a nation. Socialism is advancing with prodigious
-strides. We have departed from the teachings of Washington, of Monroe
and oi Lincoln to entangle our nation with the intriguing powers of Euorpe.
We have smothered common sense under altruism and sentiment. We have
twisted and converted the constitution to our own purposes and ends without
legal authority for so doing. It is no longer a question of politics or party,
but of a strong man at the helm of the ship of a state, of save the nation from
Bolshevism, socialism, anarchy, greed and oppression. These are far greater
dangers than the bogies of militarism and territorial acquisition. The dan
gers ol unrest and revolt overshadoy all other perils.
DROPPING THE LABEL
(Boston Herald)
What is to become of "Made in Germany” now that tho war is over?
Are Teutonic goods and their markings to be voluntarily withdrawn from our
sight, or are they to be discouraged in the way suggested by Senator Lodge
m his bill requiring all those who are sellers of German products to announce
the fact in their advertisements and over the entrances to their places of
business? It is pertinent in this new situation to point out that if the Huns
do not accept their military defeat as a commercial defeat, and that from tho
beginnings of the struggle just ended they have been actively at work prepar
ing for after-war trade. Something of the spirit in which they propose to
carry on the campaign may be gathered from a book entitled "The Future of
German Industrial Exports” just issued by Doubleday, Pago & Co., and given
to the public with a preface to which Herbert Hoover. Vernor Kellogg and
Frederick O.^Walcott of the United States food administration sign their
This audacious volume, written by Herzog, the economist and en
gineer, presents nothing less than a scheme for bringing world trade after the
war completely under German control. Obviously written for "home eonsump
lion." it has been so completely adapted to the German psychology that its
intnisu ets arc moved to describe it as based on trickery, superselflshness, the j
lu-eaking down of all business ethics and the ignoring of all international obli
gations. Nor are these characterizations of it exaggerated. What Herzog
recommends is that the German state shall militarize its industries and pan
Gcrmanize its commerce. He asks that production shall be mobilized in great
trusts to an extent never before attempted, and that each division of it—
M-ientific, industrial, commercial and financial—shall be placed under a "gen
eralissimo'’ endowed with autocratic powers. The main aim is to set up in j
Germany a secure monopoly of the "essential industries," to concentrate the j
whole forces of the state on the turning out of goods which shall combine
maximum quality with minimum price, and then to garner in the spoils by
underselling all possible competitors. There is to be "peacefud penetration"
of foreign countries by hosts of agents bound in allegiance to the fatherland
and ready to take up everywhere the task of smoothing the way for German |
products.
Iler^gx undertakes to say that his "shock troops" thus sent abroad will
ultimately “penetrate every rolling mill and drug store In Christendom." Hut i
the goods are to he sold “on their merits," and not because they are German
made. Knowledge of their origin, he admits, would nullify all appreciation of I
quality and "spoil the whole effect.” Suspicion must be allayed and hostility
circumvented by what he calls "denationalization.” The articles sent abroad
will have no mark on them to show the country of manufacture. "They will
appear to bo anonymous." Propaganda in their favor, moreover, “must have
u neutral cloak": it must come from the countries which have been neutral;
the very circulars sent out are to be in English and must not be signed by
l ion whose names carry such endings as "ach," "ung," "loin" and "berg."
The scheme is, of course, not yet put into operation, but that it should have!
l-eon elaborated for distribution all through Germany as a timely essay on
"reconstruction” is immensely significant. Our food administration calls it a
rise of "deliberate plotting" by "a class of men mad with the lust of conquest!
to fatten itself upon the lifeblood of other peoples after the war." And the
warning goes out to the manufacturing and banking Interests, to the laboring,
and professional classes <>f all countries: "Let us consider in making peaed
v hat protection we van give to the commercial existence of the freed nations".
