THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS

There are 20 independent republics
In Central and South America Thlr
teen Of these have broken relations
with Germany, Nine of these have
actually entered the war They are
Brazil, Costa Rica, Cuba Dominican
Republic, Guatemala, Haiti, Hondur
ss, Nicaragua and Panama. Uruguay
and Peru are pretty close to the edge
ranges her with those who have brok,
en- relations, though she has not yet
formally done so. t.
Six republics are officially neutral.
Those are Argentina, Chile, Colon.
bta. Mexico, Salvador and Venezuela
None of these, In their own opinion
have yet had actual official cause Ia
declare war. According to John Bar
rett, director general of the Pan
American Union, there Is reason To
believe that these countries may be
of greater service TO the allies by re-
naming neutral than by actually get
ting into the war. In the latter case
they would have TO shut down the
sending Of supplies to the United
States and Europe, and would need
vast sums of money for financing
armament, most of which would have
to be supplied by the United States
and It's allies.
The predominant feeling of the
Central and South American ncwBpa
pers Is decidedly pro.ully.
This is gratifying. 1t is inevitable
that the future will bring North. Cen
trail and South America into closer
and closer relations. Their interests
are practically identical. and II Is vel

our way to America, subduing the
whole orient, and establishing Ger
man power over Japan and China!'
Naturally one of the steps in ac-
complishing this German ambition
would be to oppose vigorously the
formation of Czecho-Slovak or Jugo-
Slav states.
From the German point of view
this is q beautiful dream. But the
Slavs have natural prejudice
against being exterminated, root and
branch, and wiped off the face OF
eastern Europe. And il is quite pos
siblc that they may have more than
the Germans to say in the final dis
position of themselves and their ter
ritory. Certainly the neat and effect
i've way in which the Czecho-Slovaks
have been cleaning up large pieces OF
"annihilated" Russia and restoring il
to action against the Hun would seem
to argue future success.
And the wisdom of the allied ma
tions in recognizing the Czecho-Slo
yak state is convincingly shown by
this speech of Herr Wichtl's.

REpEEMlNa PALESTINE

Early In September the Turkish
government was engaged in negotia-
tions with German and Austrian Jews
to settle the fate of Palestine. The
Jewish leaders of central Europe,
working evidently in harmony with
the German and Austrian govern.
ments, were acting on the Turkish
proposals for the establishment of an
almost autonomous Hebrew state.
Now that fine little scheme is
knocked In the head by the spcctac-
ular resumption of British progress
In Palestine. 1t is General Allenby,
not the sultan or the kaiser, that will
determine Palestine's fate. 1t is the
enlightened Jews of allied countries,
not those of central Europe, whose
wishes will be considered
The British government has for
some time been engaged in compre.
bcnsive plan for the establishment of
an independent Jewish republic, the
restoration of the Holy Land and the
realization of Zionist hopes. That
plan is near ,cOnsummation. There
can be no question that the tyrannous
and stupid Turkish rule over long
subjected but superior races is going
to be abolished for good by the tri
umph of allied arms,
Turkish collapse is probably nearer
than most persons imagine, and the
hopes of Jews, Arabs, Armenians and
Greeks rise accordingly. There is
particular interest in the Jewish out
look, because of It's religious and his
torical significance.
Always In the past the Turks and
the Germans have blighted the hopes
of Zion. Hencforth they will be pow
erless.

COMMUNICATIONS
LIBERTY DAY

IL has been the custom of the
treasury department to select the sec.
ond Friday in all of our Liberty Loan
drives as Liberty Day. Since we are
now about to begin our fourth Liberty
Loan drive and since Oct IL is the
anniversary of the discovery of this
country, the national Liberty Loan
committee and the national bureau OF
education have combined in an ef-
fort to make October IL great Lib.
erty Day.
The bureau of education is now
preparing program for a harvest
home festival celebration on that day
and IL is expected to have the pro-
gram in the hands of all teachers in
time to be of much assistance to them
in arranging for this celebration.
The harvest home festival is the ear
liest form of American celebration.
This program of the bureau of ed.
ucation will be merely suggestive.
The two central ideas-tho discovery
of America and the harvest home
festival-are 50 simple and yet so
significant that every community will
be able to adapt them to local cOndi-
tions and express them effectively.
All teachers who can arrange a
suitable pogram for that day or pos
sibly the day before will be express.
ing the nations spirit in definite and
effective terms. We will endeavor to
get the programs into the hands of
every teacher possibly by means OF
our local papers.
