LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
A Comment on the Charter.

Editor. Barre Times: At the hearing
in the council chamber on the franchise
proposition which, according to The
Times. was to be held at o o'clock on
Tuesday evening, Dec. u, and thinking
was early / went at $50, but | found
that the meeting was nearly over, and it
seemed to me like meeting for manu-
facturers only, so | didn't like to butt
in. and | was just as quiet as lamb.
t was back at my home at 9 o'clock.
When | took up the paper, noticed IN
the talk of the town that the meeting
was to be at O'Clock, so you see was
neither early nor late.
In regard to the franchise, | believe
the city council started out to do some
thing good for the people. But Will IL
do it? That is the question. 1t had bet
ter 90 slow and be sure it is; then 90
ahead. Now | wish to say, ! agree with
all the objections contained in the letter
signed bv Citizen" whoever he may be,
and il seems TO me there are just as
many cents in the dollar of poor man
as there are in the rich mans dollar. And
why those who are best able to pay
for electricity should get the best rates
is sonnet thing I can't understand.
In Citizens" last objection, he claims
bv the charter that the city council has
no right to grant franchise to any
corporation. Now if that is true, how
is it that city council has already
granted franchise to one corporation
for all eternity? If the board of alder
men or city council continues to do
things it has no right to do, how long
will the people stand it?

But nationalism even in the most
advanced countries, where the widest
differences in race, language and re-
ligion are tolerated, has one perpetual
fault. It regards every other nation
as legitimate prey, and it is always
seeking some advantage With COM
plete fair play it is doubtful if there
could be war.
To the upbuilding of nations, cul-
turally and economically, Jews have
surely contributed their part. A Jew

servances, may absent himself for

yet few would venture to call him an
unpatriotic American citizen. In
every legitimate national development
he has his creditable place. But when
The nation becomes aggressive in eco
nomic or military ways, the ew must
become conscious that he enters into
conflict with his own blood and kind.
1t may after all be the high calling
of the Jews to provide the van of in
ternationalism When the war is over,
the hatred Of nations will be bitter
even if weary; disrupted trade and
communication can only be slowly re-
stunned. At the same time European
peoples will be conscious that exclu-
sive and aggressive nationalism is
only death-dealing phantom. Then
that racial unity of the Jews, which

has an active or latent impulse toward
justice and freedom. This interna

the stronger if there can be establish

existence, as Darwin pointed Oh
most intense between closely rel
species. Contention is often the t
that is most indicative of unity. I
sion over methods may serve to
fly the underlying solidity of
pose. The Jews have never in mo
times been thinking more profo
ly or acutely concerning their
in the world and their racial des-
tiny. Behind all differences, one
may see the emerging determi-
nation to secure for members of
the race everywhere conditions
of decent human living.
1t is barely possible that our
vision is not sufficiently large.
The effort to secure a tolerable
place in the world is naturally
on the forefront of the stage;
but it's significance depends upon
the background. And that back
ground is changing. Jews will
make a mistake if they imagine
that the conditions with which
the world went into the war two
years ago, and against which
they are making their urgent de-
mand for rights, will be the same
when the struggle is over. The
hopeful element is that the
whole river is flowing on. Just
what will come out of the con-
fusion no one can foretell. 1t
is possible that powerful gov
ernments, able to do what they
please with sheeplike popula-
tons, belong to an era that is
coming to its close. There are
indications that for western ma
tons the center of power is
shifting. The whole machiner
government by favored individual
which contact between nations i
cused in diplomats, has laid itself
to profound distrust. There is S
thing hopeful even in this tel
bloodletting if it can cure the di
of an exaggerated nationalism.
Whereas in advanced nations
national sentiment came to de
upon a general unity of purpose
sistent with the greatest indiv
differences, in the more back

The migrating usurer became in
time the international fnancier.
His position is one of power. He
deals directly with governments
and is never far distant from the
operations of diplomacy. He
would benefit his race by con-
straining governments to cede
rights and privileges. What lies
at the end of the road pursued
by international finance is not
yet clear, but it may be that
with the European catastrophe
the goal is already reached.
On the other hand, the Jewish
race has extended itself through
the migrating ghetto. The climb
from privation has been hard
but it has given the world its

cratic idealism. Every country
