anderp Warns America Beware of the Power of Mn0re

know before that had in me n power
Of such poignant sympathy with dumb
and uncomprehending peoples as this
opportunity for observation has awak-
ened. One hears the demagogue pirate
about his love for the people and
properly rates those sentiments. No
one with seeing eyes and q sympathetic
heart could make a wide observation
of present European conditions, how
ever, without being moved to his
depths in pity Of peoples who are suf-
fering because they have been badly
governed
Here is half the world, half OF that
world of intelligent, literate, indus
trious people who are made on much
the same lines as ourselves, who,
through no fault of their own, who,
in spite of willingness to labor skill
fully and industriously, have passed
through q horrible catastrophe and
are facing another that might in the
range OF possibility be still worse.
Their fate has been and will be d.
rected by factors that seem outside
their own volition.
Wherever there has been moderate
ly good government there has quickly
followed astounding PROGRESS. The
inherent capacity OF people under
modern conditions TO improve their
Surroundings. given the boon OF hon
es.. wise and just government is
marvellous; but whatever a govern
ment lacks in honesty, wisdom and
judgment this is quickly reflected in
a plight that seemingly no amount OF
fine individual characteristics can
overcome. Much Of the lack Of good
government comes solely from ignor-
ance.
No matter in what direction we look
we find some men in governmental
positions who seem more moved by
personal ambition than by an unselfish
desire wisely to serve. No matter
what desperate national circumstance
, may exist, we see that great national
needs fail sometimes to bring out from
national leaders the unselfish service
that their people should have.
The Crime of Crimes.
I have said that it appears that
half the woes OF the world were &C.
II seems as II most of the other hall
could be traced to selfish political am
bition. And so this Is the lesson that
has dominated all that have learned
It is that the crime of all crimes, most
farreaching in its effect. the crime
which involves harm to more innocent
people than any other in the whole
category of human frailty, is the crime
OF abusing the privilege to serve.
thief may injure him from whom hS
steals. A murderer cuts short singl,
life. Those crimes are as nothing COM
pared to the uncomprehended crime
which public official commits in per
hitting personal ambition or Ignorance
to blind him to public duties.
II enough Americans could see wha
endless consequences OF sorrow ant
Injustice flow from the almost uncon
scious acts OF men who fail to recog
rize the solemnity of public trust ant
who shape their acts on lines which
they conceive may further their per
sonal ambitions rather than stead

comprehensive effort made to reestaD-
fish the industrial cycle in each one
OF the European countries simultane-
ously. If this is not done there can
be no safety in financing any one of
them.
If the financing OF reconstruction
Is considered by nations separately,
the question of security will become
a determining factor in any plan for
making advances. Europe presents
a situation in which the determining
factor in regard TO rehabilitation loans
should be necessity rather than Sc
curity; for unless those nations in
which the necessity is the greatest
are cared for as well as those in which
the security might be thought to be
the best social or Industrial disorgani-
0ation may result The contagion
thus bred might spread, endangerinK
the whole social fabric Of Europe.
Danger Turks in Delay.
The element OF time Is now of prime
Importance. Unless there Is speedy
action in the direction of restarting
paralyzed industry there may follow
n quick march of events toward revo-
lutionary outbreaks in any country
where idleness is continued and Is fol-
lowed by hunger and want. The prime
economic necessity is now to reestab-
lish the flow Of production, to give
employment to the millions Of unem-
ployed, and to get each European
! country started back toward a normal
| industrial life. The danger in not
doing this promptly or in not doing
It for all Is so extreme that it Is no
exaggeration to say that failure to do
this may mean a breakdown in Euro
pean civilization which will involve
the whole world. The conditions are
so extraordinary that extraordinary
means of coping with the difficulties
should not be rejected because of their
novelty.
II we were to wait for Government
credit granting, there may be involved
so many political considerations that
an amount OF time would be consumed
such as to make any projected scheme
OF aid without avail. One OF these
| political considerations lies in tho fact
that those nations which have shared
| in the $4,000, 100000 OF loans the
United States has made to the vari-
Gus European governments now feel
that there is Just ground for suggest
Ing that these loans be modified or
| even cancelled. This sentiment is
general, and is held in high places.
In the face OF that fact. II would
seem TO be doubtful wisdom further to
increase the loans which our Govern
ment has made to the European gov
ernments. The amount required Is
so large that II would be far better 20
formulate a plan which will not call
upon already overtaxed governments
! The demands can much better be met
from the broader sources OF private
investment II security can be created
which Will appeal to the private in
vestors. But II the situation is left for
private investors to attempt to create
an adequate security in individual
cases, there might be set in motion
such endless negotiations that the APP
pretended catastrophe would be likely
to occur before the minds OF lenders

presented in Europe, the problem Of
the relationship of capital and labor.
I believe the stability Of the present
order Of society, the maintenance OF
society based upon the principle OF
property rights, is bound up with the
way this problem Is worked out in
Europe. We cannot stand a world
apart in its solution. Indeed. we
cannot stand a world Spart in any
sense. No matter how self
self-sufficient We may believe our
selves to be, no matter how unlimited
are the resources OF natural wealth
within us. we are inevitably part Of
what is coming to be a very small
world, a world in which ideas travel
with freedom and rapidity that must
force us to become internationalists in
our views and must govern us by in
tarnational considerations, whatever
may be our natural tendencies to
Chauvinism or our disposition toward
an insular isolation and security.
Our Interests Linked with Europe.
A farmer in Kansas cornfield may
fail to see what concern It Is Of his
II there is unrest in the Balkans, Boil
shevism at Warsaw, q growing army
OF adherents to Syndicalism. or Guild
Socialism in England. or a financial
crisis in France. Inevitably. however.
J this farmer in the centre of America
will directly feel the effects OF all the
ebullitions of life on this other CONT
nent. He Is to-day nearer to the
things that may happen in Paris, in
| Belgium or In London than were the
peasant farmers in those very coun-
tries to their own capitals in times
gone by. II a Kansas farmer Is to
find his direct interests involved,
quite in spite OF himself and probably
without his knowledge or understand
ing, in the tangled influences that will
be working on the social life of Eu-
rope. then what may be said OF the
manufacturing and financial interests
of America that are already conscious
Of their relation to world affairs?
Let no American feel that he can
escape all relationship to postwar de-
velopments in Europe. That Is impos-
sible and being impossible. we should
at least aim to understand those de-
velopments sufficiently to recognizes
something Of their Significance to us
and Judge of our responsibilities to the
outside world. The future Of Europe
is going to be largely shaped by the
wisdom or the lack OF wisdom
that we in America show In our
grasp of European affairs. in the
way we seize our world opportunities
and in the sincerity with which we dis
charge our world obligations and rem
| der service where service is due. II
we are narrow, provincial. selfish. al
those qualities win react on our owr
future. II we are wise. broad and
generous with our help our recon-
pense win be beyond measure.

say one solemn word in regard to the
supreme lesson which have drawn

situation In Europe and that Is a les
