BASE
General MacArthur's Plea VIII Not
PIacate the Little Americana.
New York Press.

New York Press.
BY his unfortunate admissions on the
witness stand before the Senate Philip
pines committee Gen. Arthur Macarthur
has rehabilitated the ~attenuated cause of
anti-imperialism and furnished valuable
ammunition to the American allies Of the
EilipinoS. General Macarthur unbluShingly
confesses that he himself, and not General
Funston, was guilty of the gross deceit
and shameful intrigue that resulted in the
capture Of the patriotic Aguinaldo. 1t is no
news to any reader of the Aunty organs
that the war generally has been conducted
with a lamentable disregard for the rules
of bridge. whist and utter contempt for the
usages of polite society. 1t also was COM
mon knowledge that the army was landed
together in a secret society having for its
highest aims the wholesale massacre and
torture of women and children. But no
one was prepared for the shocking revela-
ton by a major general of the United
States army that he himself had forged the
letter to emilio Aguinaldo that drew the
rebel chieftain into the trap held by Fun
ston and delivered himself into captivity.
General MacArthur's plea, 1T was one
of the receptions frequently practiced in
war;" will not avail the cause. 1t is the
familiar excuse offered by all the officers
who have been criticised for their tactics
in the Samar campaign, that because il
has been the custom of American soldiers
to punish treachery with sudden death
and to adopt retaliatory measures when
the situations imperatively commanded
their employment. therefore IL is right to
do with these brown savages what mas been
done between civilized foemen. The for
gerry of a letter to capture an enemy's
commander is an objectionable breach Of
etiquette, if. indeed, II is not indictable.
All rules Of polite warfare decree that
when you want 10 capture the foe the cor
rect thing 10 do is TO send him a graciOusly
phrased invitation to call on YOU, at his
convenience, for that purpose. Ii is we'll
to be vague as to your purpose, but you
should tell him TO come unescorted and
unarmed and prepared for a long stay.
Then. on his arrival, you tag him and an
nounce that he is your prisoner. General
Macarthur has traversed all the rules OF
the game as it is played by the Aunties.
He should be prosecuted for felony, if not
Executed Immediately.
