Peace Must Be
One of Justice

Justice, therefore, Is the only
possible basis for the settlement of
the accounts of this terrible war.
Justice is what .he German delega-
tion asks for and says that Ger
many has been promised. But it
must be justice for all. There must
be justice for the dead and wounded
and for those who have been
orphaned and bereaved that Europe
might be freed from Prussian
despotism. There must be justice
for the peoples who now stagger
under war debts which exceed 3d.

lReparation

This is why the Allied and asso-
ciated powers have insisted as
cardinal feature of the treaty that
Germany must undertake to make
reparation to the very uttermost of
her power, for. reparation for wrongs
inflicted is of the essence of Justice.
That is why they insist that those
individuals who are most clearly re-
sponsble for German aggression and
for those acts of barbarism and in
humanity which have disgraced the
German conduct of the war must
be handed over to justice, which has
not been metcd out to them at home
That, too, is why Germany must sub
nit for a few years to certain spc-
cial disabilities and arrangements.
Germany has ruined the industries,
the mines and the machinery of
neighboring countries, not during
battle, but with the deliberate and
calculated purpose of enabling her
own industries to seize their markets
before their industries could recover
from the devastation thus wantonly
inflicted upon them. Germany has
despoiled her neighbors Of every
thing she could make use of or carry
away. Germany has destroyed the
shipping of all nations on the high
seas, where there was no chance of
rescue for their passengers and
crews, 1t is only justice that resti-
tuition should be made, and that these
wronged people should be safeguard
ed for time from the competition
of nation whose industries are in
tact and have even been fortified by
machinery stolen from occupied ter
ritories.

Abolition of the submarine as an
instrument Of modern warfare does
not seem probable to American navai
officers who have given careful study
to the arguments put forth before
allied naval commissions investigat-
ing the subject. 1t is the belief OF
these officers that submarines will
become more and more numerous in
the principal navies of the world
during the next few years.
In reviewing the deliberations Of
the allied commissions on naval
terms, American officials find that
while many pertinent arguments were
against the use of sub
marines, many strong points also
were advanced in their favor.
The principal argument for aboli-
tion was that as long as the subma-
rines were recognized as legitimate
instruments of warfare there would
remain the danger of some nation re-
peating the ruthless and fnhuman
campaign inaugurated by Germany.
Advocates of the submarine, how
ever. do not believe such past inhu-

factor in deciding whether the sub

Big Ship Still Rules.

At the worst, naval strategists
point out. it is never liability that
must be protected and defended. 1t is
admitted among naval men that the
big ship still rules the seas. How
long this will be true is the. question
now taxing the best naval brains of
the world. It is conceded, for the
present at eAact, that the nation that
holds blindly to one line Of naval de-
ve1opment and neglects another, par
ticularly the submarine, will be in
great ultimate danger.
While the nations having the strong
est navies have throughout the
peace deliberations shown a disposi-
tfon to agree to the abolition Of the
submarine, the smaller. and weaker
nations maintain that, having less
powerful navies. they are forced to
cling to the more powerful instru-
ments Of protection and offense, and
that therefore they must retain the
submarine as matter of self-preser-
vation.

"TEWING DOWN."

The dictionaries have helped con-
siderably to establish prejudice in
the minds of many persons as to
the apparent special qualification Of
Jews to haggle over prices and to
attempt to secure something for less
than it is worth. In other words,
our people are accused of sharp bar
gaining, and we have in current cir
culation the term "to Jew down" as
indicative of the character of our
people as traders. Therefore, it is
interesting to observe in this con-
nection that, according to an edi-
torial in one of our local papers, "the
love of bargaining negotiation
the Spaniards call it's inherent in
the Latin peoples" Please note
NOT the JEWISH people, but the
LATIN peoples. Continuing the ar
ticle says "they do not care for the
system of fixed prices prevalent in
American shops; there is an exhila-
ration in beating down the price
originally asked, and having obtain
ed concession the customer leaves
with the triumphant feeling that
through his own shrewdness in bar
gaining he has secured saving"
The Latin merchant catering to this
feeling naturally asks first a price
considerably higher than he expects
to get. We commend this to the
attention of those who look upon
this form of bargaining as unethical
and in conflict with the high stand
ards of trade. We are grateful at
least for the information that dick
ering is not essentially a Jewish but
quite a human trait-The Jewish
Criterion.
