DECEPTION IN HIGH PLACES.

The Washington Post, in an edi-
torial delivcrance in its issue of the
eth ult., discusses the results OF
departing from right and justice i'll
dealing with Germany and her Al
lies in general and the smaller nat
ions of the. world in particular. 1t
might he we'll to emphasize the fact
that this observation applies too to the
dealings with the colored people or
this country 1t has reacted in our
dealings with the American Indians
and subject nations. But we desire
to present particularly the statement
of conditions as revealed by the last
great blundcr made by this country
and its allies. The Post says:
The peace conference at Paris,
which has put forth two treaties of
peace and is about to put forth two
more, is demonstrating to the world
the fatal character of the departures
from right and justice which the al
lies have made. A war is developing
in the Adriatic which threatens to in
volvc the United States-the United
States. Il nation whose very existence
has been perpctuatcd by avoidance OF
Old World complications. Another
war is brewing in the Orient, which
also threatens to involve the United
States. \ third war, Of stupendons
portcnt, is growing out OF the failure
of the Allies to rescue the Russian
people from the grasp of Germany.
This war will, of course involve tho
United States.
II might be we'll to add to the com
placency of our contemporary that a
revolution is brewing in this coun-
try. Temporizing with evil and yield
ing to wrCng have had disastrous re-
suits. 1t continues:
The root of the failure at Paris
goes down to the infected soil Of Sc
cret diplomacy. When the statesmen
assembling at Paris began their Sc
crct bargaining they threw away the
victory over Germany. That fact is
now beginning to appear in naked
and terrible outlines, as people after
people become involved in the broils
resulting from failure and injustice
at Paris. The strangest figure OF all
is the United States, a nation that
never before participated in secret
treaties, whose dealings with other
nations were always an open book,
and whose treaties were always sub
mittcd to the Senate and made pub
lie. Now, through processes which
the people do not understand, the
: United States is involved in Russia in
the Adriatic in China and in Africa

OF course the criminal well knows
that he is comparatively safe when
he succeeds in cluding the county Of
ficials and gets out into another part
Of the state, because there is no mon
ey being offered as a reward for his
capture. This fact, alone, is likely
responsible for many of the atroc-
ioua deeds committed, because one
county becomes . wall Of protection
to the criminal Of another county.
There must be some way around this

in which the taxpayers Of the state

ligion. Allowing for all exaggera-
tions there can be no question that
the aim Of Bolshevism is the destruc-
tion Of family life and the abroga-
ton Of accepted moral standards. 1t
has been stated by some that women
have been nationalized, while other
travellers in Russia declare they had
seen nothing Of the sort. The truth
seems to be that it was not attempted
in the earlier part of the Bolshevist
regi me, and that there may not yet
have been issued decree from the
Central Soviet to this effect.
On the testimony of Ambassador
francis and others, however, various
provincial soviets have issued such
DEGREES, land this is unquestionably
the purpose Of Bolshevism as soon as
it is sure Of its power to make the de-
cree effective. Bolshevism recosni-
zes no God, no moral code, none of
the moral standards Of civilized peo-
Piles. Most of the Russian people are
represented as hating and fearing it,
but with the Reds in possession of the
food, the money and the guns, there
is little they can do to oppose it.
This is the detestable thing that
threatens the life of civilization. Any
step toward recognition. of the ab-
horrent Bolshivist' element as a ma
tional entity or any move to compro-
mise with it, would be condemned by
the moral sentiment Of all fes!ly civ
ilized mankind.-Leslies' Weekly. =,
