The Catholics of the United
States ought to be as deeply inter
ested in the liberty and independ-
ence of our common Father as
their brethren across the Atlantic,
though from the rare and tlmld
references made to the problem by
our Catholic newspapers it would
appear that they care little one
way or another, says an exchange.
There is a strong and perfectly
legitimate movement on foot to
procure Home Rule for Ireland,
but unfortunately the rights OF
the Holy See to representation at
the peace conference and to the
restoration of that independence
to which it has a divine right, are
not finding any particularly zeal
Gus champions among us, so far as
we are able to see.

PRESERVING FREEDOM.

Peace from an exhausting war
has been won, or forced, by the
victory of the allies and the
United States over the Central
Empires and their allies. The
shedding Of blood has been
stopped at least temporarily. We
have been told that the object for
which our armies have fought has
been achieved. But has it? Only
in part, thinks a writer. The
Prussian military autocracy has
been signally defeated and it can
not rise again to power for some
time, if ever. 1t will never regain
its lost power, if the world shall
be made safe for democracy per-
manently. Indeed no autocracy
Of any kind is going. to exist now
TOR at any future time anywhere,
if the ideas put into words" by
President Wilson shall be allowed
to prevail.
The rights of small nations seem
to have been admitted theoretic-
ALLY by most of the statesmen and
rulers of all the nations that have
been co-belligerents against Prus-
sian autocratic pretentions and
power. The peoples of these
champions Of democracy have
fought well and with success on
the battlefelds and, therefore,
they have won by the sacrifices
made and the sufferings endured
freedom for themselves and for
all others who may wish to de-
mand freedom along democratic
lines. ar "a
Freedom, therefore, has been
won; fairly, bravely won for the
whole world; that is, for every ma
ton, small as well as great or
large; weak as well as strong and
powerful. The strong nations and
some of the weak nations sent
their soldiers to fight side by side
and for the same avowed purpose
to vindicate the right of every
nation, small and great, to be free
and to, enjoy self-determination.
What we fought for, then, has
been won-in theory; the theory
now is recognized as right and
just, hundreds Of thousands have
died for this victorious result. But
have the nations the freedom for
which their sons have died :? Not
Just yet. The peace conference is
going to insure to all of them the
things for which they have been
fighting and dying namely, free
dom; so we are told and SO we all
hope. Meanwhile, we are waiting
and will be closely watching, I'M
less we fall asleep and don't wake
up again.
Freedom has been won, of
course; but before it is secured it
can be lost at the peace table
through the "shrewdness" of its
enemies, if they can prevail. Mr..
Wilson is over there to see that
they don't prevail, because if they
do this peace is only makeshift
and mockery. History must not
repeat.
