GREGORY ASKS
SQUARE DEAL
FOR ALIENS
Atty. Gen. Emphasizes Fair
Treatment Coming to
Law-Abi6ng Germans.

A square deal for the German citi-
zen who must be registered as an
alien enemy, but Is law-abiding and
loyal, was urged last night in a
statement by Attorney General Greg
Dry. head Of the Department Of Jus
tice.
The Attorney General emphasizes
that the registration. which will be-
gin tomorrow. does not mean that
every enemy alien Is under suspicion.
and he adjures the American people
that they, in compliance with the
Presidents proclamation of April s,
treat the Germans with all such
friendliness as may be compatible
with loyalty and allegiance to the
United states"
The majority of Germans" says
the Attorney Generals statement,
who have taken up their residence
in the United States, but. for one
reason or another, have neglected or
failed to become American citizens.
are undoubtedly willing to be loyal
and law-abiding.
In the interest of public safety,
however, they must be registered and
obey the alien enemy regulations.
The mere fact that a man Is regis
tered as an alien enemy should not be
taken as a reason for Discrimination
against him by his employer or by
the community in which he lives.
The alien enemy laws and regula-
tions will be rigidly and aggressively
enforced and the penalties prescribed
for their violation imposed without
exception. But no possible good will
come from unnecessary hardships or
determinations inflicted by private
citizens upon these alien enemies who
remain. Iaw-ablding and loyal. TheiI
work contributes to the resources oi
the country and, therefore. to the
strength of the country in this war"

NEED FEW WOMEN
AS FARM WORKERS

Restricted use of women as farm
laborers was urged by the womsn's
committee of the Council of Nation
al Defense, in a statement issued
last night.
It may be advantageous to in
crease the number of women eneag-
ed in farm work before the end of
the year, II is asserted. No attempt
should be made, the committee
thinks, however. to employ any un-
usual number of women in agricul-
ture or to train them for such work.
Many inquiries are being made
regarding the wisdom of employing
women in the place of men on
farms. The time is not ripe for a
general adoption Of this change,
the committee says.

The Argentine Embassy refused Off
cial comment on the incident. but
from quarters familiar with the situa-
ton I'm Buenos Aires there came word
that the move definitely presages the
long expected break between the two
governments. 1t is presumed to have
been decided upon with the torpedo

the move has been made Just before

indication of the course Argentina will
follow. Argentina has the greatest
wheat crop in its history and it had
bean renorted here that much of IL

Agreement to ship the wheat to the
United states is regarded as indicat-
ing that the South American re-
public will soon effect commercial
break with Germany as drastic as the
diplomatic break already indicated.

II Bolshevikism should come into
control in Germany
1t would md no vast disorganiza-
and sevens; commerce and transpor-
tation in a tangle.
1t would find ready to hand the
most nearly perfect organization and
centralization Of production and dis
tribution ever seen In this world-more
perfect perhaps, than even Karl Marx
dreamed of as possible. y
Nation Controls Industry.
Every line Of production in manu-
facture and in agriculture is either
operated directly by the government
or under SO close supervision as to
mean the same thing. The same is
true Of transportation and all other
elements in distribution.
In short. the Germans today,
through their government. are manu-
featuring and farming and distribut-
ing the products therof as a nation,
and not as individuals.
This wonderful machine had its
conception and its development in
evil-ln the lust for power and world
conquest. Every turn OF its wheels
is for hate. bloodshed and aggression
1t il, however. exactly the machine
that the Bolshevik and his American
twin, the Industrial Worker of the
World, have been telling US Is the
one agency that can abolish poverty
and make brotherly love a world
practice.
The Bolshevik has maintained that
with a little adjustment this machine.
now operated in the interests OF the
masters in Germany, could be made
to work for the toilers.
Certainly the machine would be in
the hands of the most methodical and
orderly people in the world. As a
new order Of society, Bolshevikism
would have in Germany a test under
the most favorable of conditions.
Retributive Justice.
IF BoLsHEVIKIsM SHOULD
OVERTHROW THE KlAIsER, THAT
EVENT WOULD STAND OUT IN
WORLD HISTORY AS A PERFECT
INSTANCE OF RETRIBUTIvE JUS
TICE.
For the German autocracy is large
ly responsible for the rise of the Boil
shevih to power in Russia, German
agents preached the doctrine unceas-
ingly in all the large centers of Rus
sia. The Kaiser gave safe conduct
to the exiled Lenine that he might
go from Switzerland to Russia to
help the work along. Germany be-
lieYed the Bolsheviki least capable
OF all elements in Russia to carry
on the war or to set up stable gov
ernment. The Kaiser expected to be
able to work his will with the Boil
sheviki in the matter OF annexa-
tions.
Austrian and Hungarian regiments
on the eastern front were supplied
with the outline of a definite system
of propaganda for the poisoning
OF the Russian troops. In the fra
termination between Russian and Ger
man troops that resulted from the
armistice. the Kaiser's forces preach
ed increasingly the laying down of
arms and the setting up Of workers

poisoning the Russians. But recent
events have indicated that in the
process, they, too, became poisoned,
The first manifestation of this came
in the almost open refusal of the Aus
trian and Hungarian troops to move
from the East to the West front for
the big drive which the Kaiser had In
mind in December.
II Bolshevikism were good for Rus
sia, would 1t not also be good for
Austria and Hungary, these troops
asked?
Anyhow. waiting to see what would
