OTHER MEMS VIEWS.
An Editorial That May or May
Not Square With The Views
Of The Forum.

1t is impossible to read Mr..
Hughes report of his investigation
Of the airplane situation without ad-
miration. 1t is not merely that it is
we'll written or that it is compre-
hensive, still less that 1t commands
the unquestioning faith Of his fell
low citizens-for that is certain; but
1t Is written with that SAVIOR OF ex-
perience that no man Of less expert
ence can give TO his writing, what
ever the subject. 1t is not only the
experienced investigator. or the
lawyer deeply versed, or the justice
recently from the highest judicial
tribunal in the world; 1t is all three
that combine to produce that sure
touch and that atmosphere.
Mr.. Hughes went to his task not
only without the slightest tinge Of
craftsmanship. but surrounding himself
by the terms Of his employment and
never stepping an inch beyond that
boundary. He was instructed to do
certain things. and those things he
did extremely well, but he would not
go beyond them. He would not dis
cuss questions of mere inefficiency,
for he was there to look for evidences
OF wrongdoing. He found It, in sew
eral cases, and recommended the
court martial Of one officer and the
criminal prosecution, in the civil
courts of three more.
In the same way Mr. Hughes felt
himself debarred from going into the
question of an inner ring" On that
point he says that the legality of the
cross license agreement entered into
by members of the Manufacturers
Aircraft Association, Inc. was dis
posed Of by the attorney general who
declared it not in violation Of the
antitrust law. That" says MIR.
Hughes, disposed of the question, in
the absence of a contrary decision
by the courts, so far as the action
OF the executive department is con-
cerned," and he passes on. It is
not often that one finds an investi-
gator displaying such sobriety, skill,
and tact or taking his work for ex-
actly what 1t is and not seeking TO
exceed or expand it in any direction
whatever. The things on which he
does pass are expounded with a
clarity, fullness, and finish which will
not easily find comparison. 1t is a
notable document.

WHERE II BELONGS.

The neotglations between Germany
and the Allies on terms Of armistice
have finally reached the status that
the great bulk of American opinion
has at all times insisted they should
be placed-with the military auth
critics.
An armistice is a purely military
question, and as such 1t is for the
constituted military officials to deal
with the enemy's plea. In renewing
her application for an armistice. If
Germany elects to do so. she must
display the white flag on the field
OF battle.
Germany knows that the terms
win not be less severe than those
imposed on Austria, Bulgaria and
Turkey. Because Of the enormity Of
her crimes Germany must make
even greater sacrifices and give
greater guarantees than her desert
ing allies. Knowing these things.
the German bid for an armistlce on
the field, when made, may be accept
ed as a signal of her readiness to
surrender. 3d..

A CLEAN CAMPAIGN

Chairman w. r. Byerly of the Joint
Campaign committee is entitled to
no little credit for the effective and
efficient manner in which he has
handled the campaign just closed.
Mr.. Byerly took the position that the
committee could be Of real service TO
the people only in the event that It
dealt with issues, and he was sue
cessful to a marked degree In con-
filming the campaign to things mater
ial to the questions involved.
Mr.. Byerly, though bitterly attack
ed by the opposition, refused to let
that fact disturb the plan of cam
paign. taking the position that he,
personally, was not an issue.
The people who know Mr.. Byerly,
know that the charges made against
him are without foundation. Like
the charges conjured up against John
Steen in the primaries, they will be
Immediately forgotten by those re-
sponsible for their origin.
Mr.. Byerly is entitled to congratu.
laions for the manner in which he
handled his work.

REVOLUTION IN EUROPE

Revolution in Europe, spreading
from Russia, is the great problem
with which the Allies are concerned
and the defeat of Germany will bring
them face to face with the question
of re-establishing order.
Bolsheyism in Russia, Socialist
revolution in Austria, the Bolshevik
revolution in Bulgaria, clearly indi-
cate the trend in eastern and central
Europe, and each day seems to in
fcrease the seriousness of the situa-
,tion.
That the problem of saving Europe
As largely one of food, is the calcula-
Etion in Washington, as we'll as in
European capitals, and the food prob
llems will be greater at the conclusion
of peace, than they have been dur
ing the war.
A Philadelphia Public Ledger cor
respondent at Washington interprets
fthe coming food problem as follows:
The problem of saving Europe will
be largely a problem of feeding Eu-
rope and Of recognizing the indus
5aI4GS Oh EAuIOpSy OF pIONlull1E WOIh IGF
the men released from war and keep
ing away famine until next seasons
harvest has been reaped
1T is no secret that Mr.. Hoover re-
CARDS the problem OF feeding Europe
after the cessation of hostilities as a
problem vastly bigger than has been
that of feeding the Allies in the past
few months of the war ~
take the new socialist republic of
Bohemia, for example. 1t is mod
crate, apparently, hardly more than
a democracy such as we have here
and they have in England and
france. If the new government fails
to solve the problems of peace and
famine, 1t is likely to be succeeded by
something much more radical.
The most pressing need is that
Ghis feeding problem shall be met
promptly. It is a thing that can
hardly wait upon the determination
Of a peace conference If that confer
enc@ IS likely to last as long as it
1s expected to last.
The problem of saving much Of
Europe from becoming a chaos is
largely one of supplying it with food
ct hostilftles, of restoring its means
