WHAT WE HAVE DONE

This is a time of interim, an entr'-
acte in the world theatre. We are
standing midway between war and
peace. or between war and whatever
may follow the war. The curtain has
rung down, and, while there is move
ment and hustle on the stage, it has
not rung up again, Trying to peer
through its thick folds is vain strain
ing of the eyes; it is better, while the
act just ended is still so vivid upon our
minds, to consider what it has shown.
We can forget the problem of whittier
we are going long enough to note
where we have arrived.
Never in all history, we may be-
lieve, were so large results obtained
at so small cost as by the United
States in its 10 months Of war. Nor
docs this mean the cost in life, for,
while our casualty lists arc happily
brief by comparison with those Of
ether poligcrents, they are far too
long to be calmly reckoned in bal

meant Is the cost in time and money.

We have beaten Germany. In that
victory we were admittedly the de-
cisive factor. BY the contributions
we made. and the greater contribu-
tons that we were pledged and pre-

our interests.
Germany's restless pursuit Of col
onies and trade under the direction Of
her military autocracy would, We must
admit, sooner or later have led her to
challenge the Monroe Doctrine that
halted her ambitions in the west, and
have brought us into conflict with her
under conditions that might have
proved far less favorable TO our cause.

NERMONT,S PROBLEMS

With the conclusion Of peace, tht
Vermont Legislature faces an entirely
new set Of problems War measures
excep; such as deal with picking up
the loose ends Of our military estab-
lishment, cannot be expected TO hold
the place Of prime Importance they
have held heretofore. Readjsutment
and reconstruction, however, are not
less important, and must, indeed, be
soberly and seriously considered.
As The Herald views il, the first
important business before the Legis-
lature OF 1919 must be such changes
in the states financial methods as will
not only account for every dollar paid
out, but will make it impossible TO
draw money from the state treasury
except upon the approval of some re-
sponsible board or public officer.
This elemental business principle
world seem to be above argument or
attack, but there will be decided OPP
position to it on the part of certain
people who, for one reason or another,
prefer the present easy-going system.
The Vermont Legislature needs to
make up its mind about this question.
Good roads problems are always
with us, and The Herald believes that
the time has come to mark new trails
in that field. The past season has
shown us that the average Vermont
road is practically impossible in bad
and bad roads constitute an
actual tax on the resources of the
state.
The Vermont Legislature must con-
slider whether it is prepared to per-
petuate the system of scattering
100000 year all over the state for
road tinkering or whether it is going
to consider good roads as an invest
ment. to be repaid later in business
profits.
more sheep" may not perhaps be
The insistent problem it would have
peen with the war actually in prog
ress, but the demand for meat and
wool will not relax for years. Con
;ervation and business forehandedness
alike demand that we shall make such
use of our pastures and hill farms as
will produce the most in food and
'abrics.
"The return of the rural school to
nc rural community" is more than a
.atch-line. II represents a very urgent
condition and the recommendation OF
ne board Of education in that respect

These are business problems, and
hoy should have preference. Mean

tant Imperialism, of war for conquest
and profit, has been discredited. The
air has been cleared of one of the
most pernicious germs that ever in
fected ambitious ruling classes and
their docile peoples through the ages.
The Monroe Doctrine, at which
Germany scowled for so long, is now
placed beyond challenge, while Latin
America has been drawn nearer to us
than ever before. 1t was not merely
by our exhibition of military power
that we have achieved this desired
end, but by the demonstration of our
willingness to fight and sacrifice for
our own ideals. The Nation that could
forbear could watch and wait, while
little Mexico, lashed about in her
throes Of revolution, was prepared to
enter the lists against mighty Ger
many, and entered them with no
wooden sword" Pan-Americanism
is fast becoming more than a word or
hope and the continuance of our
ship building program will speed its
approach.
In the East we have been able TO
win a new respect from Japan. If
the Island Empire had formerly
thought to follow the German model,
the war must have put new foot-notes
into the textbooks Of state policy.
japanese Observation-Disclosures, gener-
ais, statesmen-have come to our
land to watch and wonder at our work
of war, and have made their notes
and gone their way. In Japan, too,
rather startling growth of democracy
has appeared, and with kei Hara, the
first Premier of democratic origin,
there is hope Of new and more liber-
al Government.
And finally there is America her
self. standing forth full-armed, with
100000 soldiers and more than
100000 sailors, and the vast reserves
Of her manhood still hardly tapped:
standing surrounded by monster piles
Of guns and shells, of planes and ships /.
Of war, which the Nations industries,
turned at last from pacific to belliger-
emit service and geared to the quantity
production speed, can indefinitely re-
lew and heighten.
America has learned how to make
var and has proved her ability to do
%. And the Navy Department plans,
he General Staff programs for apply
mr. the lessons Of CONSUMPTION, are
testimony that America does not pro- :
,ose to lay aside her armor, to sheathe
he new sword, until other Powers are
ilso ready TO disarm.
In former years when we talked in
disarmament our words
arried slight weight, for we had so
little to give up. We were Aesop's
ailless fox, which called on other
oxes to cut their tails Off. But to-
lay we are a Power among Powers,
With q capacity for making war and
earring burdens Of armament with
ghich none desire to compete. We
ave spoiled the war game for the
World by raising the stakes so high
hat only our purse can meet them.
he central problem Of European
diplomacy has now become how to
make Uncle Sam put up his gun.
We do not like war, we Americans.
We do not like or want the armed
amp plan. We want peace, and a
ociety Of Nations intent on keeping

lishment Of all that our war can
hcieve is to bring that desire 70
