The weIeom- to the British Mission


The best thing about the ovation
given Mr.. Balfour and his distin-
guished party by, the citizens OF
Washington was its complete spon-
taneity. So far from encouraging
the demonstration in which a hun
dred thousand people had a share
the newspapers and the Government
strove to minimize it. But the mere
publication of the fact that these
guests of the nation would arrive at
a certain hour was enough to bring
forth an unexampled outburst of en-
thusiastic greeting.
We have no doubt>at all that Mr..
Balfour was greatly moved" 1t
was far more than personal tribute.
It was a recognition Of the part that
one of our allies has played in the
war for humanity and democracy
and civilization. 1t was glorifca-
ton of the fact that Great Britain
and America are allies in such war.
1t should serve as a notice to Con-
gress that delay in preparing the
plans for an army that shall give the
coup de grace>to the German Kaiser
and all that he represents in peace
and waE is henceforth intolerable.

Pacifists and AboIitionists

Beginning with a mlsquotatlon
from the teachings of Jesus of Naza-
reth, with the Snug assumption Of
fellowship in martyrdom between
the pacifists and Him, an anonymous
writer in the New York Evening
Post strives to draw the parallel be-
tween the early American abolition
lists and the modern pacifists. The
article contains a definition Of
pacifsm as the creed 'that the in
junction, Thou shalt not kill applies
at all times and that there is never
a right time when war should be
waged." That sufficiently stamps
the imperviousness Of the pacifist
mind to logic, especially the logic Of
events. The very fact that aggres-
sive war should never be waged is
justification for waging war either
Of self-defense or in defense Of others
against aggressive war.
When we come to study the psral-
lei between the pacifists and the abo-
litionists, we find that it consists in
one thing only: that the abolitionists
were in the minority at one time and
the pacifists are in such a minority
now. That at least contradicts the
impression the pacifists have striven
to make upon Congress, that ma
jority of the people Of the United
States are opposed to war with Ger
many, no matter how outrageous her
aggression upon American rights and
insults to American honor. and if we
could only have had a referendum
we should have refused to make a
declaration of war under any circum-
stances.
Another suggestion is that pacif-
lists and abolitionists were martyrs
to their convictions. Shades of Gar
rison and Wendell Phillips, to say
nothing of Elijah P. Lovejoy and old
John Brown himself. Imagine any
of them, accustomed as they were
to mobs and brickbats, contributing
an anonymous article on pacifism to
newspaper, in this time of free
speech, and pratin6 about martyr
dom.
The early abolitionists were a mill
tant band from the first. They de-
nouncej the Constitution of the
United States as league with death
and a covenant with hell. They
willed and they did their utmost to
bring on the war against the South
ern States. They were uncomuro-
missing ADVOCATES of the continuance
of that war until it ended in the abo-
lition of slavery and the full preser-
walton of the Union. They may have
been extremists, but they were never
nacifsts.
If the pacifist editor, Oswald Gar
rison Willard. who for the sake of the
family should drop his middle name,
wants to find a parallel that is really
deadly, he can make one ott be-
tween the present pacifsts and the
Copperheads of the sixties. Both
may lay claim to being a minority
and a despicable minority at that.
Both will doubtless share their due
of odium for being towards and
slackers in time of danger to their
country.

Private DalzeII Suggests That the
Government Fix Prices OF All Ne
cessItles.

Government FIX fr1ces OF All We
eessItIes.
To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Let the Government fix all prices.
II the Government can fix wages of
railroad men and rates OF freight and
passenger traffic, why not fix prices
of the things people eat and wear?
In this stress. with millions OF ST.
lent uncomplaining women and chill
dren, and hard-worked men harassed
beyond endurance by the prevailing
high cost of living, soaring higher
every day at the sweet will of specu-
Iative and constituencies dealers,
think the time has come for the Gov
ernment to come in and help out.
As an old lawyer and publicist, and
| I trust a patriot whose loyalty is
sealed by two wars for my country,
submit ! know and have a right to
demand the protection OF every poor,
distressed, and half-starved citizen.
DO you know?-I do know-half
the country Is starving today; IL
sounds harsh, strange, may be ques-
toned. but know. You may know IL
you inquire. Prices are so high
every day advancing-that men on
moderate wages cannot and do not
keep their families in comfort.
Every true housewife will back me
in the statement. II should not be so.
Potatoes bought of the farmers last
fall at 10 cents today are sold at 81;
! beans at 81 a bushel. now sold at 50.
beef and mutton at and 10 is sold
at IS to 40. 1t is a shame! Why, cab
bage bought at 5 cents head is sold
at 20 cents a pound. 1t Is all wrong!
Wheat sold at 81 Is sold at $3.50:
corn at IS cents at s1.50, and the poor
man robbed by the manipulations of
the middleman:
Let the Government lay hold with
a strong hand and fix prices so we
can live. Let the Government fix the
prices OF all things. Let there be a
maximum and minimum scale OF re-
tail prices established. Make 1t a
| felony to charge more, and the labor
| ing man can then live.
