Who Wined 1t?

There is a war apathy in certain
elements of Congress which points
an accusatory finger at the newspa-
pers as the chief cause of the situa-
ton in which the nation now finds
itself. 1t is hard to account for this
feeling; hard to think that any man
believes the press twists the public
round its fingers, or molds its opin-
ion against the springs of its own de-
sire. For it is not true.
1t is an insult to American intelli-
gence to call the war with Germany a
newspaper war. Without the ballast
of Independent public opinion, which
has proven itself time and time again
utterly beyond press control, or any
kind of control, newspapers merely
shout their editorial convictions into
the void wilderness, finding no audi
ence, gaining no response. 1t is dam
gerous, it is mischievous, for any man
to seek the war mandate at any other
place than at the throne of the public
win itself.
The American public is not inHam-
mable. 1t seeks leadership to which
it can give full confidence; this it has
found in the wise, restrained guidance
and counsel of the President. When
nations plunge into war for the vim
dication of a principle, there is nc
war hysteria. When the dread spec
ter of invasion, of desolated homes
and ruined countrysides, is not in the
vision of the public, war can only be
reached through tapping the deepest
spiritual resources of a nation, re-
sources which are only thinly and
poorly expressed in any high-pitched
emotionalism or any waving of the
flag.

The Strike Inquiry.

The announcement that a Senator
ial committee will investigate the
present car strike in Washington Is
welcome news to everyone concern
ed. Both the company officials and
the union leaders have expressed
themselves as being pleased at the
prospect of an investigation and both
are predicting victory.
But the main body to welcome the
news is the people of Washington,
who, for more than a month have
been the real sufferers of the strike.
Although the efforts of the company
toward maintaining service have been
very effective, there can be no deny
ing that the service since the strike
has not been up to its former stand
ard.
Both sides have suffered and both
sides have maintained their stand
Whether either has been in the
wrong probably will be brought out
in the investigation. There is Ger.
tainly room for compromise between
the demands of the men and the ulti,
matum of the company, and the sup,
position is that the Senate committee
will work along these lines as they
probe the acts of violense.
1t is to be hoped that the actor
of the investigation will be speedy
as this is a particularly inappropriate
time for disputes of this sort. The
comfort of the people of this city
demands that an early settlement bt
made.

Special Correspondent Of The Washington Herald
New York, April i6.-As Samuel Pepys
would record in his diary: For a spin on
upper Broadway on my velocipede which
won at a charity rattle and 1t brought
back memories OF my boyhood ambition
to be a trick rider. and for my skill in
this direction was awarded a medal at
a county fair.
Tried to essay few tricks on a side
street and skidded into q matronly wom-
an who was carrying a snub-nosed dog,
and she called down all the wrath of the
gods on my shoulders. And the dog
snarled at me like a mad beast Pushed
the contraption home by foot and pre-
sented it to Master Walter Chalaire, a
fine lad who sells papers and is the
breadwinner for a big family.

Why Not Russia?

The conferences opening in WASH
ington this week between the govern
ments of Great Britain, France and
the United States are the most stimu-
lating thing in behalf of new inter-
national unity and consciousness that
the present generation has seen.
But they are not complete. Rus
sia is not represented. Before the
new bond can be firmly welded, Rus
sia must be represented. There can
be no doubt about that.
We submit, therefore, that the
American members OF the conference
should suggest, as one of the first
and most vital matters before the
negotiators, the summoning of Rus
sia to the council table. She has join
ed the group of world democracies, or
is about to do so. She has borne
the bitterest brunt of the war. and if
she had hinched the Prussian colos-
sus would now be astride Europe.
There is no open or known reason
why Russian representatives are not
coming to Washington. Is there any
secret reason? What significance is
there in the fact that France and
Great Britain have not yet recognized
the new Russian government, al
though the United States has done
so? Can it be possible that the
feverish German propaganda for a
separate peace with Russia is caus-
ing deep apprehension in Paris and
London? Is the provisional Russian
administration temporzing and op-
portunist?
The key to the situation is the ex-
tent of the financial and industrial
support America can give the Russ.
The government has $1,000, ,ooo, 900 to
apportion among the entente, and it
is of supreme importance that Rus
sia, whose peed is the greatest and
whose temptation to retire from the
war is obvious, should be given her
/ full share. As it stands now Petro-
grad is without representation in the
United States, which can do more to
neutralize the effect of this new Ger
man bait than any other nation. 1t
is idle to talk of Bahkmeteff as the
Russian Ambassador, all his conpec-
tions, all his sympathies, are with the
autocratic regime which has been sent
to the scrap heap.
The most pressing need of the war
crisis is cooperation between Wash
ington and Petrograd. The coming
conference will throw that need into
sharp relief.
