THE ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION.

Who does not remember the storm Of OPPOSE
ton to the Rockefeller Foundation, when 1t was
established some years ago. as sure to give new
and wrong direction to our educational ana TO
ligious lifes How baseless these apprehensaons
were is evident from the remarkable work TINS
greatest of charities has done since the war be-
gan At the beginning of last year the pr1nca-
pal fund of the Foundation had a market value
of one hundred and five millions on which an m
come Of over seven millions Was collected. TO
this was added FIVE millions from the principal
fund and a new gift of five and one-haR mil
lions from the founder This with q balance
carried over makes fund Of twenty-three mil
lions for war and charity work all but a smaH
balance of which has been expended. Its prm-
c1paI disbursements have been for war relief,
the international health board, the China medl-
cal board and In studying and combating tuber-
culosis here and abroad, mfantile paralysis, the
hook worm and other diseases
There is thus no room to question the value
Of this notable charity In fact it may be
doubted if so large sum was ever put, or could
be put to better uses. The Gate City holds no
brief for Mr.. Rockefeller, but it should not be
forgotten that the colossal fortune he has ac-
cumulated is working day and night In the peo-
ple's interest. He is distributing vast sur
plus in charities and paying enormous surtaxes
which the government would not receive if his
estate were broken into numerous smaller hold
ings, as it probably will be in few years more.
He is only the collector and temporary Gus
todian of fund which will be distributed in
time and return to the people under the law
which has controlled the dissipation of great
Accommodations ever since the world began.

This seems like return to common sense 1t
has been impossible to understand why such in
formation as is now furnished can give aid to
Germany. The argument offered that car
ried weight with the public was that General
Pershing desired no addresses given But with
this was coupled his reason that we had no ma
ior part Ia the battle and that our casualties
might wei be left to the army announcements
of Britain and France in whose armies our men

A FROZEN FACT.

penidy forred the war while England was
leaving no Stone untuned to preserve the
peace, is under arrest and to be tried for trea-

minister Of foreign affairs, confirms the truth
of the statements made by the ambassador.
eve could not agree, " he says, ''to the English
proposal for conference of ambassadors to
settle if possible the Serbian matter for it
would have meant for us serious diplomatic
defeat The only way possible out for Ger
many was therefore to direct her energies to
the locaIization Of the war; That is to say,
the conference would have preserved the peace
of Europe which would have been victory
for British diplomacy. Rather than have this
happen Germany vetoed the conference and
forced the war; and all the attempts she made
to localize it were her efforts to keep England
from aiding France. All this is so clear and SO
well established that it is one of the few things
in history authnritahvely settled beyond pos
idbility of dispute It is one of the frozen facts
in the annals of the human race.
