Up to yesterday afternoon American Ambassador Gerard was still in Ger many because he had not received his passport without which he could no' leave. Berastorff was likewise in the United States though he has been given his passport and everybody wishes he would go. There is quite a contrast in the way the two coun- tries are acting. The United States gs.ve Bernstorff his passport freely. ard has since been to considerable trouble to help him reach his own country. Germany. however. seems to be suspicious of America and all the world. Germany without any ap- parent reason withheld the custom aiy courtesy of passpor. to diplo- mat who has been recalled. Not only s'. but that country In a somewhat bir.al way proposes. as 1t now seems. tc hold Gerard as hostage to In. sure the safety of Berns.orff. Ger msny In this Is overbearinR. and either lacks clearaess of perception or Is wilfully perverse. Bernstorff Is in no danger from America or Amer leans. In fact in spite of certain as- ptrsions such as should have been ex- p1cted from one of his training and affiliations he Is rather well liked In tfis country. ,Tha. he cannot return to Germany is no fault of ours. A coldly logical attitude would seem to bt that now he has been removed frcm his official position at Washing

ton 1t Is no concern of anybody's in America where he goes. Whether he ever gets baek to Germany or ends hls days in Cuba would not seem to matter. he is no longer German am-
 b; ssador to the United States but no one Tn America intends to harm him or even wishes him harm. On the other hand there is Germany--surly, lacking In ceursesy. and bruatlly say. his stan and acme other Americans will be held to guarantee the safe return of Bernstorn. In what way are We responsible for hIm a1.er he leaves our snore? Germany inlim1tes that we will be held responsible If British ship should sink the vessel bearing Berns.orn ana drown him. By what law ot nations or Of reason will we be held responsible? Apparently
 n,ne. Merely because Germany tskes a whlm to make such an un-
 reasonable demand. The facts are n,t all available yet. Really so tew arc known 70 us that judgment should

 snce prevent Bernstorff leaving and tc imprisoa him If necessary. Then an U. .ms tum should be sent to Germany that for every American restrained trem liberty by Germany a hundred lsr. in. ns would be similarly restraia- eu in this country and for every Am crr,1n .ho IS mallreated or killed in Germany a hundred Germans will be similarly n.s Il: eated or killeu in Am iica.

If the facts are as understood and stated here the administration should force the Huns hand by refusing to assist Bernstorff home and by demanding the instant release of Gerard and the other Am ericans with some such penalties as atoye mentioned for failure to do so.
 On the assumption. however, that we do not interpret the situation rightly and that we are under obligl- tiob to see Berlstorff safely home i. is interesting to consider the dilemma tho English government puts Bern stcrff in.
