THE MAN FOR WAR HOUSING

What the war-housing committees have ac-
complished Is chiefly their own education il,
the elements of the problem. They have begun
to learn that neither general business ability
nor eXpcrience in commercial contracting ar.
chltecture or town planning can furnish sat.
isfactory qualifications for the task This is
something we shall all have to learn before
We have won the war. We shall have In
learu that the first consideration of an is
the national need for such housing as viii
take care of all the workers our war indus
tries can use and keep them contented and
efficient At the head Of our housing service
therefore, we need, not "A man with the
technical experience Of the businesses and
nrofessions connected with building but a
man capable of organizing the social and in
dustriaI data by which the need for housing
NAV be measured Such man as Mr.
Henry Bruere for example, would be ex-
cellently qualified for the task. With the
work to be done determined, 1t would become
practicable to mobilize professional and busi-
ness talent for its execution. We lack none
of the elements out of which to build a spen-
did system of housing that would helm us
to win the war and to ease up the difficulties
of reconstruction. We have only TO put these
elements together under a man with the
weight Of Industrial statecraft--The New
Republic.

A PACIFISTS CONVERSION
When He Saw How Germans Fight He
Concluded They Must Be Defeated
by Force

VTERNON KELLOGG, professor Of ento-
moloCv in Leland Stanford University,
and a longtime opponent of war. has dis
covered that theoretical pacitiem breaks down
when confronted with the kind of war that
the Germans are agng.
Professor Kellogg was an assistant of
ITerhor, Hoover for two years in the relief
"f the noncombatants in northern France in
possession of the Germans. He was in con-
stant contact with the high German officers
and had many conversations with them on
their theory of war and on the mission of
the German race. He discovered that theY
We're evolutonists, or neo- -Darwinians as he
calls them. They have accepted the doctrine
of the survival Of the fttest as a formulation
Of the law Of progress They have formulated
for themselves the Coroary that the 1T in
order to survive must take no account of the
unfit, must irample them under foot, kill
them, do anything to get them out OF the
way Of progress" They have assumed that
the German race is the race that is fttcst
and that 1t must dominate the world and
that the other races that stand in the way
must be wiped on. or be subjugatrd. These
theories, at the back of the thinking of the
war party in Germany, are responsible for
all the brutality Of the war. The war marty
assumes that Il mcrcilcss natural law Is in

TO direct attention to is that ii will decree
prohibition in a manner essentially different
from that which has obtained even in the Z
States and parts OF States in which prohbl
ton has existed | do not refer to any cir
cumstanCes concerning the effectiveness of its
enforcement; what i have i'm mind is the
character of the decree itself--the way In
which ii is riveted down. There is no sub
stantial analogy between an enactment put
into state Constitution and one that h
made part of the Constitution of the United
States In nearly al of our States the Con.
stltuton can he changed by process that
Is not much more formidable than the passing
Of an ordinary law; in none is the process
comparable in difficulty to that of amending
the Constitution OF the United States If the
people of any state desire to repeal or modify
the act by which they inserted prohibition
into their state Constitution that desire has
only to be made clearly manifest in order to
beSccomplished. But once imbed such pro-
vision in the Constitution of the United
States and it will not only be impossible for
the people of single State to repeal or In
any way modify 1t, but II will be next to i'm
possible for the neople of the United States
to do So "
FinaHy apart from all questions Of self
government for the States, and all questions
OF personal liberty for the Individual the
insertion of the prohibition amendment into
the Constitution of the United States would
constitute deplorabe degradation of Its
character. To introduce into II the
decision of a special question like that of the
control Of drink, however strong the wave OF
public feeling that may seem to be behind
that decision, Is to lower the level and
weaken the authority of the whole instru.
ment. The Constitution has often been crt
cized as being too difficult of amendment the
criticism will gain infinitely in force II in
stead of being as 1t now Is. simply an instru.
ment for safeguarding the fundamentals Of
government in a Federal republic. the Con-
sttuton is to become recourse for those

ect with the enduring structure OF the great
