"PEACE TERMS
AND WAR AIMS"
America, as an Ally, Fights for
Principles Without
Program
By GILBERT VIVIAN SELDES

II
LONDON Nov. 10.
ClNCE the preceding article on this sub
~ ject was written the coup detat of the
Russian Soviet has occurred and the in
sistence of peace which characterizes this
violent group may well give the lie To-
statement made in that article. The state
ment was that not only was 1t impossible
for the imperialists among the Allies to get
their peace terms accepted: the fact was
that the Soviet could not have its terms
accepted by Germany.
Perhaps the Soviet can. If IL has no
terms. but wants only peace. it certainly
can That is, if II is willing to grant Ger
many a victory not only ever Revolutionary
Russia. but over the rest of the world, 1t
can do so. Yet the Soviet pretends to be
International il has hopes for the rest of
the world. even the hope of inspiring Britain
and America to put themselves into the
hands of Workers and Soldiers Delegates.
And the Soviet will understand in time that
it cannot make peace with Germany now
eXcept at the expense of the workers and
soldiers of the world.
The eruption of organized pacifism is the
best thing to throw into relief the anti
pacifism of nle Atlantic Allies-Britain,
France and ourselves. Unprincipled pacifism
we cannot accept, because we have certain
principles of peace
The position of the United States a
possible dictator Of peace depends precisely
on thiI point: it has principles and no pro-
gram. The danger is, of course. that we
may not find a program to fulfill all our
principles we may have to- make readjust-
ments. But the progress of the war makes
it exceedingly likely that we shall be able
to impose a recognition of principles on the
German people.

THREE PIANISTS TRIUMPH
Heard in Unique Philadelphia
Orchestra Concert

Ok complete sets of piano keys-three
~ white and three black-mobilized under
the triune command of superb performers
made unique artistic drive at yesterday
afternoons Philadelphia Orchestra concert
in the Academy of Music. In direct charge
of this singular but exceedingly charming
musical exhibit We're Harold Bauer, Oss,p
Gabrilowitsch and Olga Samarof, three of
the most distinguished pianists now before
the public Their combined endowments of
dazzling technique, sound authority, per-
sonal magnetism and discriminating taste
ennobled anew composition written nearly
200 years ago.
This number was Johann Sebastian Bach's
concerto in G major for three pianos and
orchestra and oddly enough II impaired q
more potent aroma of musical modernity
than any feature of the attractive program.
Debussy himself In his most mystic mood
has evolved harmonies and contrapuntal ef-
fects of no more wltching loveliness than
those subtly contained In the poetic adagio
OF this ancient concerto. The three brilliant
interpreters realized this essential spirit
with compelling art, The lively first and
second movements in which the sunny am
tique mode Is more dominant, were read with
invlgorating and crystalline clarity.
Earlier on the program Messrs. Bauer
and Gabrilowitsch offered delightful two
piano number. the Il fat concerto of Mo-
zart. Mr., Bauer's deep rich tones. Mr.
Gabrilowitsch's pearly. ripping notes were
merged in a harmonic alliance that rem
dered definite comparison Of taeir individual
talents quite impossible. The net result of
their joint efforts was musical magic at
tuned to the blithe melodic character Of
Mozart's first matured manner. The de-
licious orchestral scoring was for oboes,
bassoons, horns and the strings.
The old world spirit of the program was
appropriately preserved In the purely in
strumental numbers. which dated no later
than Beethoven. Mr.. Stokowslsi's opening
selection was Haydn's serene and simply
devised Symphony No. In T. fiat, This
Is gracious music, haracteristicaily inno-
cent OF secondary intentions" or Of any
attempt to be profound. Mr.. Stokowslsi's
Interpretation betrayed nice feeling for
its facle artlessness. The conductor con-
cluded the concert with stirring and
dramatic performance of .Beethoven's vivid
'I.eonore No. : OVERTURE As, always
the star spangled Banner" served as u
patriotic prelude. Even that work. did r3t

A Matter of Idealism

There is double harm in the incessant

a more definite object and another bat

"Maling the world safe" If you happen to
he hurting shells at them every two minutes
or worse still, If the fortunes of war give
YOU a lieutenant generals horse to curry
every day for the duration. What Is worse,
if we go on parading our lofty purpose we
may degenerate into somewhat holier-
than-thou attitude. which Will do us no
good We have a practical gr.evarce
against Germany and n practical end to at
tain. The harm she has done us is great
and the wrongs she meditated are worse.
But in our international relation the
thing that counts is our idealism. We have
the power of gathering to our side, mobil-
izing organizing the liberal spirit of Eu-
rome And that spirit, in spite of all con
trary appearances, Is growing stronger day
by day. Governments may seem to fall into
the hands of reactonaries, but the spread
of a desire for peace based not on power
but on justice. is remarkable. That desire
crystalizes around the solid fact of Amer
ica's honest desire 20 have a decent peace.
q will not give the words decent peace
to the ,pacifists. because decent peace is
the hafdest on Germany, not territorially,
but spirituality
The principles OF peace are three. The
first is "a matter of the heart and involves
the crushing of German military prestige.
We want Germany to show "a spirit of
Christian humility. and we conceive the
best indication of that to be the overthrow
of the bureaucracy, When General Smuts
suggested the other day that II might not
be worth fighting until the Kaiser was cap
tured and hanged ne did not say that we
retrac the Allies principles that no peace
could be made with the Hohenzolern au-
tocrooy.
The second principle is territorial. II in
wolves readjustment of certain frontiers.
Just as II assumes restoration of certain
territories On this more will be said
presently.
The third principle is economic. 1t is one
which has been left almost untouched. In
spite sf the Paris conference.
Now the fsrst IL obviously guarantees.

Pioneer and Laggard

In many other respects the American
people came first: in this they came last
Ihey came after the Allies had gone in
iact The people of the Allies have to be
won back to their earlier belief that it
is possible TO convert Germany; they be-
IcVed tins three years ago and have for
gotten it. our strength as pioneer in
other principles does not come up to our
strength as a laggard in this one Be
cause We still believe it--and are the only
nation which thoroughly believes tive

slider.
Furthermore it is assumed generally by
the Allies that when the Germans have
thrown OFT the bureaucracy they will be

the problem brstles all over with small

A Solution That Failed

The nationalist solution has failed there
fore, because ii has tried to solve a prac-
tical problem in theoretic way Some of
its propounders are practical men; they
have little maps showing the racial adj
herence OF every district IN the Balkans
But they do not allow the existence OF a
definite economic problem in every ma
tionality. You may grant Serbia and Croa-
tia joint independent government. but
unless you arrange their industry and COM
merce uheir industry being largely aeri-
culturaD In some other way you cannot
separate them from Austro-Hungary. And
you cannot cut Austro-Hungary off from
the sea In order to satisfy all the claims
OF Serbia and Italy unless you can at the
same time arrange to shift the center or
Austria's industrial life northward into Ger
many. And II you do that you cannot cut
Germany or from the sea at all.

the economic side Of the peace principles.
