in keeping with the best traditions

The more up-to-date Unionists
scout the idea, however.
"It is just the old story Of these
fossils disincl.nation to move with

"Dislike of the idea of being repre-

More than 5000 girls, who went to

WHAT WILL JAPAN GET?

& Mum erous dispatches from Paris have
! carried the information that the Japa-
nese delegates to the peace conference
are endeavoring to have a clause insert
ed In the covenant Of the League Of Ma
lions declaring the equality in every
respect Of the citizens of all nations
which are members Of the league. The
immigration policy Of the United States
: has brought objections from our repre-
aentatiyes at the conference to the in
sertion Of any such clause. if 80 worded
( that it might be construed AS bar
against immigration restrictions. II
the clause is intended merely as balm
to the racial pride Of the Japanese. then
there is no objection. Theoretically.
all men are equal. and If the Japanese
are not seeking something that would
bring them a victory in the long-stand-
ing immigration dispute to our disad-
vantage, then VIC are willing and ready
to admit that they arc the equals OF
anybody.
There are certain things that Japan
might reasonably epect from the peace
conference. but which she has not men
toned, so far as known. One Of these
Is the recognition, of her special position
IA the Far East. BY our insistence upon
the recognition of the Monroe Doctrine
VIC are insisting upon the formal recog-
nition by the world Of our special POW
ton in the western hemisphere. We
could hardly object then. if Japan were
to ask similar recognition Of her leEiti'
mate and very great interests in her
section of the world
Naturally. our acQuieScence in such
recognition would depend upon ;hc prin-
ciple involved. in our own case. all VIC
demand is that Europe keep hand off N
the matter of territorial acquisition in
f.; the Americas. In all other respects we
grant to foreign nations the same priv
ileges in this part Of the earth that VIC
Yourselves enjoy. Now, the question

THE CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS

Coming just at this time, the call for
$4,000 volunteers for European service
is Immediately connected in the public
mind with the Bolshevist troubles in
Russia and Hungary. Washington has
SO far given no indication that this
number Of American soldiers, or any
number. in fact. are to be used in On
Allied campaign against the Bolsheviki.
All that has been said is that those who
volunteer will be offered early duty in
peditionary forces who wish to return
home.
Of course all the boys In Europe want
to get home as soon as possible. but why
this sudden solicitude on behalf of 50,-
900 of them? A definite plan Of with
drawal was made some item ago by the
war department and has been going for
ward steadily. The divisions intended
for occupational service have been des-
ignated and there has been no recent
development to indicate the abandon
ment Of the policy not to transport more
men overseas to replace those already
there, while the world needs all its
ships 50 badly for other purposes. Also.
it is reasonable to believe that $4,000
men would be about the share Of the
United States in an anti Bolshevist ex-
peditionary force. AS to the promise Of
service in France. it may be contemplate
I'd to take $4,000 veterans for an expe-
dictionary force and to fill their present
places in France with the volunteers.
II is possible too. that no definite
Bolshevist campaign has as yet
been decided upon and that the war de-
partment is merely preparing for event.
atliuies. Whatever be the motive ascrib-
ed or the actual plan at present, it ia
entirely probable that these $4,000 men
will eventually be factor in what now
looks lige an inevitable clash between
tho forces Of civilization and those Of
Bolshevisn.

LENINE. THE PROPHET.

In an interview. Premier Lcninc OF
the Bolshcvisl government admits the
destructireneSs OF BolShcrism. He de-
clares that his chief care is not for RUS
STA, but f@r internationalism. and adds
that while the workers of the cntiro
world would be ruined by the adoption
of Bolshevisn. the people of some gen
erations hence" would reap the benefits.
This seems rather a far cry from the
principles of practical politics on which
Lenine built his regime. Peace. land and
food. not for hazy generations, but for
those now living. were the promises
through which Lenine and Trotzky were
able to overthrow kercnsky Now, COM
pretending his failure to create a mod
ern Utopia, Lenine turns prophet and
assures those who are starving to death
that they are not making their sacri-
fees in vain
Even il Lenine's prophecy were true,
his assumption that several generations
Of human beings would be willing to
undergo the most terrible sufferings in
order that those who are to live at some
underlined future time might benefit.
shows wildly distorted estimate Of the
unseifiishness Of the human race. Even
if the Bolsherists Of the present day
could get so enthuse6 as to work for
such a distant object, what Of the next
generation and the next. and all the
others. through two or three hundred
years, all Of whom must make SACRIFICES
for those to como after them?
But. as matter Of sober fact, no liv-
ing man can say with certainty what the
effect Of present actions or policies will
be- upon the men Of future centuries.
The changes wrought by time arc too
great and complex to be prophesed.
The best that VIC can do is to live sanely
and honorably in our own time, striving
to advance the best interests of our
OWN and the rising generation without
the infection Of wholesale death and suf-
fering. It is not by making a plan and
sacrificing everything to it that the
world advances, but by evolution.
