LET THE PUBLIC KNOW THE
FACTS.

Following the publication of the
Capital News on Monday, December
7, giving an outline of the purported
contents of the Ramstedt report upon
the treasury investigation, which had
just before been turned over to Gov,
ernor Haines, hasty conference was
called in the governors office.
Who attended that conference?
Why was it called? Who called it?
What was said there relative to a
demand for the suppression Of that re-
port? What reasons were assigned at
that time tending to convince the gov
ernor that he ought to break his pro-
mise to the people and to the press to
publish the results Of Ramstedt's In
vestigation?
What effort was made to induce Mr..
Ramstedt to withdraw the report he
had filed and make new one elimin-
ating portion of the facts that he
had discovered while making his in
vestigation of the treasury depart
ment?
Did Mr.. Ramstedt consent to make

CHARITY NOT UNDER
STOOD

From Switzerland comes the wall
of the newspapers that Swiss children
were not remembered in the Christ
mas giving Of Aemricans along with
the Belgians Switzerland is not at
war and was supposedly we'll able to
care for its own unfortunate. But
from the outcry from that country it
can readily be seen that the American
attitude is little understood. Ameri-
can pity is for the homeless and be-
reaved of little Belgium, not sympathy
for the war which has involved that
country against its will. Americas
giving was a spontaneous outburst OF
generosity for the little children made
homeless and often fatherless by q
war. That generosity is no doubt
broad enough to include the Swiss and
any other nationalities whose plight
is similar Yet there is rising
sentiment in this country today
against further donations even to the
Belgians while the poor of our own
land continue in need Germany is
exacitng tribute from the rich men of
Belgium as war indemnity, while
America undertakes a problem which
belongs to the victorious nation or to
the wealthy of Belgium. In all the
years past, wealthy Europe has never
gone a step out of the natural selfish
way to help American starving Even
| today Europe has more unused wealth
! than America Let her spend it caring
| for her own. True American sympa-
| thy goes out to the innocent sufferers
| from the war Their condition is pitt
liable and must continue that way as
| long as the war collects its awful toll.
| Yet il the food and the funds sent
! from this country only help to prolong
the war until every vestige of national
prosperity is gone from that land, of
what benefit is such charity? Better
| save the charity until the end of the
war and know that it is applied toward
peaceful ends. Europes starving peo-
pie is Europe's problem and should be
! solved in the same amnner as the war
! expense is solved--out of national war
! chests.
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1914-12-18

those changes? Or did he refuse to
be party to any such demands?
Did a refusal of Ramstedt to alter
his report have anything to do with
the subsequent determination not to
let the public see the report at all?
If Ramstedt had withdrawn the re-
port he did make and had he made a
new one eliminating certain facts that
he reported he had found, would not
that new report have been published
long before this?
This conference was held in 4 the
state house; it lasted until late into
the night; it took place between state
officials and their friends and advis-
ers i'll the office of the governor. 1t
must therefore, have been q confer
ence TO discuss a matter of public in
terest. Should not the public be fully
informed as to what there TRANSFERRED
At any rate, is not the public en-
titled to the report of Mr.. Ranstedt,
in accordance with the promise that
was made?
VIII the report of Mr.. Gleason also
be the subject of hasty conference,
a demand that it be modified, or re-
fusal to let the public know what it
contains Capital News.

OF AMERICAN NEU-
TRALITY.

TRALITY
America can not be neutral, is the
message sent to England by a well
known publicist, Mr.. James Davenport
Whelpley, who sets forth his explain
alton of this theory at some length
in the pages of the London Fortnightly
Review. He considers that the eco,
nomic interests of this country are
so involved that. however much We
may strive to preserve the shadow,
we actually lose the substance of neu-
trality. He argues:
1T is a simple matter for a govern
ment to issue a proclamation of neu-.
trality. To persuade or compel a ma
ton collectively and individually to
observe such neutrality has always
been difficult and under present con-
ditions the United States Government
is. finding it an almost impossible task

and manufactured goods. America has
been the source of supply to a large
extent hence the efforts of all bellig-
orents are now concentrated upon
America, in an attempt in one way or
another to secure more especially a
continuation of shipment of food, raw
materials needed in manufacture and
of gold. In war like the present
practically all supplies are contra
band, for the efforts of combatants are
directed toward an economic as we'll
as an armed defeat of the enemy The
recent increase of imports reported
from the smaller countries of Europe
not yet involved in the war is indis-
putable evidence of increased export
in some direction, for the tendency
of industry at this time is toward
stagnation, and imports would natur-
ally show decided decrease If the
demand was based upon normal home
consumption and trade"
In accounting for this increase IF
trade he thinks thati

DEM AND THIS LAREL
THE INDEPENDENCE

The old flagship. the first fleet flag
ship, Independence, is now coal
barge: What an inglorious end for
the old ship of long service. 1t is far
from pleasant TO think of the once
proud old frigate, in her day the most
powerful warship in the United States
navy, serving out her last days as an
ignominious coal barge. The fire en-
CINE horse, worn out in honorable
service, is no longer compelled by en-
iightened communities to spend his de-
clining years in the shafts of an ash
cart, but is made an honorable PEN
sioner in some grassy meadow where
the clang of the midnight alarm mo
longer disturhs his rest A ship a
great battleship- think of it, will you?
Americas first fleet flagship, the old
independence, is as human as any liv-
ing animal, and there is something in
the action of the navy department in
permitting her to reach this inglorious
end that seems singularly cold-blood-
cd and parsimonious.
1t had been intended that she should
be one of the chief exhibits at. the San
Francisco exposition, locked beside
the latest and most modern of super
dreadnoughts. but a consideration Of
4 paltry $3,515 has been sufficient
apparently for the navy department
to ignore her claims to an end befit-
ting her services to the flag in three
wars And so her bulkheads have beau
knocked out and she will carry coal
on the Pacific coast until merciful
gale sends her at last to rest How
much better if she had been towed
out to sea and sunk, with shot
through her rugged old timbers, while
the band played her funeral dirge.
AS lesson in patriotism 1t would
have been worth far more than the
few sorry dollars for which the de-
partment sacrificed her
America is entitled to have, and has,
an interest in the old ship, for she
was built jast one hundred years ago
this year. Here's hoping she may not
long serve in the ignoble service Of
carrying coal. but sink in the waters
of the Pacific where she will be at
rest and at peace foreyer-Idaho Falls

STIMSON TELLS OF NEEDS
Former Secretary Advocates Moderate
Increase in Army.

very moderate increase in the reg
ular army the foundations upon which
a large volunteer army could be
promptly organized, when war comes,
and enough guns and ammunition
such are the immediate army needs
of the United States, in the opinion Of
Henry l.. Stimson, formerly secretary
of war, who addressed today the Mer-
chants association of New York ON
the Needs of the Army"
ct is not question of spending a
huge amount of new money to adopt
the practical things that military
opinion advises should be done at
once" Mr. Stimson said I'VE are al
ready spending today on our army and
navy large sums of money-in the case
of the army at least-which If wisely
spent along the proper plans, ought to
be quite sufficient for adequate Mill
tary defense.
under wise military policy, the
republic of Switzerland, by a yearly
expenditure of $6,500,000 has been pre-
pairing and training an army of nearly
800 900 men, We, under less wise
system have been spending $90O0O,000
year on an army of 10000 men, of
whom only 10000 are available within
the United Saes for general mobile
service today.
I'VE are spending nearly $3.50, 900, 900
on onr army and navy; why should
we not spend this so as. to produce
the most efficient result possible,
rather than a result which is admit
tedly inefficient"
Mr. Stimson assailed the naval pol
icy which would keep the American
navy on the defensive in guarding the
coast in the event of war.
! "In order to defend this country the
navy must be free to fight the enemy
| fleet wherever that enemy. can be
| fought with the best chance of Ameri-
can success" he said. Our navy must
not be tied down to our coast"
"In the case of our army, our needs
can be classified under three heads:
| First, we need very moderate in
crease of our regular army, to be &C
| complished mainly by the introduction
of a reserve system.
| Second, we need to lay the intelli-
gent foundations upon which we can,
when war comes promptly organize
| the large citizen or volunteer army
with which the war must be fought
/ Third we must at once acquire q
! sufficient reserve Of the field guna pnd
ammunition and other war material
which will be at once needed for the
equipment of such citizen army and
| yet which cannot be extemporized un-
der emergency.
/ MIR. Stimson said the training of Uni
| ted States citizens from boyhood In the
use of rifles, as In Switzerland and
Australia iE imneratiVe
II am informed that we have now
1850 guns" continued Mr. Stimson, and
ammunition to serve them about one
and one-half days To send out moo
ern infantry without the protection o.
field guns against an enemy armed
with them is simply murder
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1914-12-18

rather than to hamper, commerce is
neutral, hence the business man sees
no reason why he should not at least
be allowed to conduct his ordinary
business without hindrance and with
all customers seeking his wares. Neu
trality for a producing country like
America is as costly as war, if it means
cessation of trade and business"
When America realize how deep
are the issues involved, he considers
that frank abandonment of neutral-
ity, as an effort to secure peace, is
more than a possibility:
1t has not yet fully dawned upon
Americans just how deeply they are
and will be affected by this struggle
alarms in Europe, for the political
and economic changes now begun are
absolutely international in their full
meaning A stronger realization of
these things will come SOON there
are already signs that it is on the
way, and then these much-discussed
questions as to the blame for the be-
ginning of trouble or for subsequent
destruction and the sufferings OF the
civil population will be dismissed from
the American mind, for the time at
least, and the greater question, ONE
rrh ioh hn ant Wi
as a unit--how to aid in bringing
about peace-will absorb all thought
and energy"
We have not noticed any German
appeals to America to draw the sword
for Wilhelm H. and F'ranz-Joseph, but
an English author, Mr.. Harold Besbei
writing from New York to the London
Daily Chronicle, says that America
should Abandon its official pose OF
neutrality" and plunge into the fray
at England's side. He pleads thus:
What would George Washington
have said of America in full view
daily, hourly view-of devastated
blood-drenched Belgium Would Alb
raham Lincoln have preserved friend
ly relations with Germany after the
cry OF raped children and butchered
women had assembled with the smoke
of towns and villages to the heavens
of mems ultimate dreams?
Italy's neutrality we can dimly I'M
|
derstand, but not Americas. Italy
! could only break her neutrality by TAX
ing up the sword; America has only
to speak
| After a tribue to the American press
which Mr.. Begbie considers voices the
attitude of the nation with greater
| certainty than the government al
Washington, he proceeds to excuse oul
neutrality thus:
When that day comes, will not
America gratefully recollect that
although its government had no wort
but neutrality and sat throughout the
struggle with hands carefully folded
the honest newspapers, loving democ-
racy more than the exigencies Of poll
tics, made it sufficiently clear to the
nation of freedom that America wa.
not upon the side of aggression, mill
j tarism and despotism of the divine
right? l dare say that the news
papers of America have saved Ameri
can honor."--Literary Digest.
