No Politics In This

mcnts of the Republicans Of the United States yes
terday in his cordial endorsement of the Presi-
dents prompt response to the Vienna peace con-
ference suggestions. The Central Powers, said the
G.. O. P. spokesman must be made to know that
the time for bargaining has passed and the time
for the Stacking Of mitarism by superior force is
here. Germany and Austria cannot choose the
time for the ending of the great they
chose the time when that should be launch
ed. They started it as it best suited them; will
end it as it best suits us.
This is the second recent war utterance of the
senator from Massachusetts, made in the name of
the Republican party In accepting the minority
leadership, last month, Senator Lodge made an
address which has alrC ady become part of the
literature of the war, in which he outlined Amer
cas aims and American intention clearly that
his words might almost have been planned as
Americas reply in advance to the Teutonic peace
offensive. His address placed the Republican
party fairly and squarey in favor of the PROPOSE
ton that Germany must be beaten to her knees
before peace of permanent character could be
thought of. 1t shows that Republicansm stands
back of the Administration in its stand that the
terms of peace must be dictated by the victors,
and that the vctors are to be the Allies even if it
takes the entire resources of the United States to
make that certain.
BY his clear presentation Of the stand of his
party, pledgng its staunch support to the aims
as laid down by the President Senator Lodge
and for all settled and determined that all of
the patriotic impulses of this nation are not cir
cumscribed by the lines of the Democratic party
that happens to be in power at this time of supreme
trial and effort. Common cause is made against
the enemies of country, and it lies in no mans
mouth conscience to claim that all of the nation
al integrity and pride of country is absorbed with
in the limits of either of the national organizations
through which the United States is governed
under Constitution and laws
In summarizing the declaration Of Republican
war principles, as set forth by the new Republican
leadtr N the senate, the Los Angeles Times says
S. Lodge has shown that "pohtcs is adjourn
ed f. the period of the and that whole hearted
aleg'"re will be given the administration, not be
caus' - head is Democratic but for the that
both ties represented in both branches of congress-
doing their best to hold up the hands of the Chief
Executive-appaIled tesk that is presented but
eager to any th't is set before the people
This is an American wa" and the American people
like bulwark behind the tremendous efforts
being made to bring not only victory, but lasting
peace.
Our citizens have been murdered our right to free
travel the has been violated by the Germans
property destroyed and neutrality grossly and
wantoniy abused Such il the indictment AGAINST the
German monarchy, and Senator Lodge tells the world
what the Prussian house must do before flags
fured army and navy dismissed 1t is a
statement and while the address has the
Germans on their toes, with the that they will die
rather than submit to the dictated it fairly pre-
sents the views of America and her allies, who
eXerting effort to crush out the power of the
barbarr Potsiam House and all its damnable works
Here is what must to pass before a peace
acceptable to the fighting nations is agreed to by the
sIgnatOry powers:
Belgium, the stricken, must be restored; Alsace and
Lorraine, taken from France following the Franco
russian war, must be Internationally returned; all
those areas where the Italian is predominant, in
ru'ng TRIESTE must go back to Italy; Serbia and
RumamIa must be established in their independence;
Greece must be made safe the great Sav population
now under the government of Austria, the Jugo Savs
and the Czecho Slovaks must be established as indie
pendent states; there must be Independent POland
ihe Russian provinces, taken from Russia by the
vilainous treaty of Brest Lovsk, must be restored
to Russia Palestine must retrrn to the rule of
the Turk and the prosecuted Christians of Asia Minor
the Syrians aud the Armenans, must be made safe;
Constantnople must be taken away from Turkey and
placed in the hands Of the Allied nations free
port, so as to bar the way of Germany to the East
and hold the Dardaneles open for the benefit of
kind.
Senator Lodge makes it plain that, in his opinion
Russia will be factor in the again, and it
Is therefore the duty of the Allied nations to buckle
down to the task of cleaning Germany without the
aid of that once powerful nation. The Bolshevki, by
combination of treachery, corruption and Ignorance
have tied Russia to the kite of Germany and have
created form Of democracy dangerous to the world
as the government of the Hohenzolerns The Boshe
wiki masquerade under the name of a democracy, but
in reality it is German autOcracy in it's worst form.
The view of Senator Lodge as to the situation in Rus
demands the sober attention of the country
has been formed after thorough study of cOndtons
and an appreciation of the task that has been set be-
fore the liberty loving Russians who for the
being, at least are under the domination of the Ger
royal house
Think you this is too ambitious a prOgraml 1t is
the conviction Of one of the greatest authorities
this country on international law and history. Its
sumption means that again will Germany be a
menace to the world; that again in it's history
will the HOhenzOllerns he able TO throw the fear of
Acknowledgement and destruction into the hearts of the
little nations that the latter will be allowed to work
out their own salvation in the great that be
fore them all
With the menace of German Imperialism forever put
away with the people of every nation working out
their unmpeded and embarrassed by the threat
of humiliation, liberty will come to those who have
