Now Responsible
As Trustees

Mr.. Taft has set the picture fo,.
you of what a failure of this great
purpose would mean. We have been
hearing for all these weary months
that this agony of war has lasted
of the sinister purpose of the Central
Empires, and VIC have made maps of
the course that they meant their con-
quests to take. Who're did the lines
of that map lie, of that central line
that we used to call from Berlin to
Bagdad? They lay through these
very regions to which Mr.. Taft has
called your attention, but they Law
then through united empire; the Aus
tro-Hungarian Empire. whose integ-
rity Germany was bound TO respect
as her ally, lay in the path OF that
line of conquest; the Turkish EN-.
pire. whose interests she professcd to
make her own, lay in the direct path
that she intended to tread.
And now what has happened? The

''Wiil Give Only
The Setting"

We have listened to so clear and
admirable an exposition of many of
the main features OF the proposed
covenant of the league of nations
that it is perhaps not necessary for
me to discuss in any particular way
the contents Of the document ! will
seek rather to give you its setting.
I do not know when I have been
more impressed than by the confer
ence of the commission set up by the
conference of peace 10 draw up a
covenant for the league of nations.
The representatives. of fourteen ma
tlons sat around that board-not
young men, not men inexperienced in
the affairs OF their owns countries,
not men inexperienced in the politics
of the world; and the inspiring in
buence of every meeting was the con-
currence of purpose on the part of all
those men to come to an agreement
and an effective working agreement
with regard to this league cf the civ
ilized world
There was a conviction in the whole
impulse; there was conviction Of
more than me sort; there was the
conviction that this thing ought to be
done. and there was also the convic-
tion that not a man there would
venture to go home and say that he
had not tried to do it.

THE RED CROSS
CLOOTHING CAMPAIGN

The war is over, yes, but people in
our allied countries are dying from
the results Of war just as surely as if
they were still being moved down by
howitzers and Krupp guns. They
must have food and clothing. In
Northern France, Belgium, Italy,
Roumania, Serbia, Greece, Monte
negro, Palestine, Albania, Czecho-
Siovakia and Poland, the field for re-
lief is so vast that the main prob
lem can be COPIED with only by gov
eminent measures. But very valua-
BILE aid con be rendered by the Red
Cross, and accordingly its millions of
members, and the American people at
large, will be asked to donate their
cast-off clothing-clothing which will
prove a genuine God-send to the war
sufferers. Herbert Hoover, head Of
the European Relief Administration,
and our Red Cross representatives
abroad have cabled that supply Of
every kind of clothing is immediate
ly vital to the millions just freed
from the German yoke. So, in March
the American Red Cross will conduct
a mammoth collection of used cloth
ing, shoes, and blankets, throughout
the United States.
March is psychological month for a
salvage campaign. With the ap-
proach of Easter, when pale pink
crocuses and sturdy tulips are stirring
in their warm winter beds and pre-
pairing to change into gala summer
attire, we likewise are changing our
attire. Heavy coats, serge skirts,
wooden suits, which would be too out
of-style for a temperance next year
are doomed to be cast aside by their
owners. Instead of a moth-balled
senlity for these garments, how
much better to send them across the
seas, where style will make no differ
ence, where they will mean life to
shivering women and frail children
Begin collecting your old winter
clothes now, for the campaign will
be held the week of March "a to
March 81.
Every kind of a garment is need
ed. Piece goods as well, light warm
canton flannel and other kinds of
cloth from which to make garments
for wee babes. Ticking, sheeting,
and blankets; wooden goods and shoes
of every size are asked for. Any
scrap leather can be advantageously
used for repairing footwear. Since
the clothes will get the hardest kind
of wear. only strong, durable gar
ments should be sent. The refugees
of Europe can find no use for ballet
slippers or flimsy ball gowns! Make
your gift practical. Garments, how
ever, need not be in perfect condi-
ton. Thousands of destitute women
are eager to make few francs by
repairing and adapting gift clothing
to their needs.
A quantity of useless articles has
been turned in at former salvage col
lections. Tthey increase the cost of
handling, as such articles have to be
picked out at the central collection
point and they cause a deplorable eX-
penditure for freight for which the
Red Cross must pay. So please do
not send ball dresses, flimsy dresses,
clocks, glassware, carpets, toys, col
lars, neckties, crutches, canes, para
soils, pillows, crockery, rugs or food
stuffs.
In this campaign the Red Cross is
going to assume entire charge from
the time of collection to the time
when the bales clothing is delivered

No Chance Vas Left

1t is fact that the German Cab
met which governed had no choice
but to capitulate whenever an AL
lied demand was made in such tones
as disclosed the will to enforce it by
arms, if necessary. No other course
would have been left for a Junker
regime. had it been in power. But
this obvious truth was by no means
obvious to the German mind. What
was plain was that before the war,
during the war, up to the last mo-
ment, Germany had spoken with au-
thority in Europe, her sabre rat
things had produced cold chills from
Petrograd to Paris.
Nothing was more natural than
that the mass Of the German people,
skillfully inhamed by propaganda
directed by those who had controlled
the propaganda machine of the ma
tion for years, in peace and in war,
should saddle upon the existing
r2gime responsibility for national
humiliation which was, in fact, the
inevitable outcome of thu crimes
New-York tribune., 1919-12-14

and blunders of the men who had
disappeared.
The officers, the functionaries, the
big and the little cogs in the old
machine were eagerly abetting
this campaign Of misrepresenta-
ton. The fact was plain to the
whole German people that the coun-
try was passing through one humili-
alton after another. Under the
terms Of the Treaty of Versailles
Germany had been humiliated, part
Of Prussia separated from the bulk
Of Germany by the Polish corridor
Alsace-Lorraine taken, the question
Of Upper Silesia and of portions Of
East Prussia reserved for plebis,
cites probably destined to turn out
unfavorably to Germany.
Above all, order was not restored
economic activity was not resumed
The blockade long endured, and wher
abolished was followed by no such
relief as had been hoped for. Brit
ish and French troops, even Ameri
can soldiers, occupied German cities
New-York tribune., 1919-12-14

and towns. Each day brought some
new contrast between the Germany
which had existed from 1871 to 1918
and the Germany which existed be-
tween November IL, 1918, and the
first anniversary of what was for
Germany the blackest day in all Of
her history.
In all this time, as even now,
the Allies were unable to make up
their minds to favor one German
faction as contrasted with another.
They could not even do as the Allies
Of a century before had done, seek
to fortify the new regime, not be-
cause of any fondness for France,
but because of a belief that France
in Bourbon hands offered greater Sc
curity to them. No such view domi-
mated Allied councils at Paris or
since. All of Germany was regarded
as unit; all Germans were treated
as equally responsible for the recent
crimes, and the Allied publics and
governments waited upon a German
confession Of guilt to clear the way
New-York tribune., 1919-12-14

for some resumption OF ordinary hu-
man intercourse.
The reason was simple, defensible,
but not always sensible. The Ger
mans had terrorized the world. They
had recently dominated the Cont
nent. The tale Of their crimes, the
story of their purposes, which had
been formulated long before the war,
had served to create in the minds of
those who had suffered an illusion,
or even an accurate view which pre-
cluded immediate resumption of
business or political relations.
Having conquered Germany, the
world was suddenly disclosed with
out policy in respect to Ger
many. 1t was as if there had been
a belief that victory would bring
with it the annihilation of the Teu-
tonic tribes. But victory did moth
ing of the sort. AS a consequence,
the sight Of Germany still in being,
still counting more than sixty mil
lions Of Germans, seemed to paralyze
the victors. They could not decide
New-York tribune., 1919-12-14

Of what was lawful and what unlaw-
full.
In 1917 the Supreme Court up
held an injunction against West Vir-
ginia miners, who intended to strike
to force their employers to agree to
"closed shop"
In his minority opinion, Justice
Brandeis upheld the right of the
miners to call the strike and held no
coercion" was involved, saying: "If
1t is coercion to threaten to strike
unless plaintiff consents to a closed
union shop, it is coercion also not
to give employment unless the appli-
cant will consent to a closed non
union shop"
The present injunction against the
coal strikers was brought under the
Lever act, which is a wartime meas
,re aiming to increase the produc.
tion of food and fuel. The govern
ment, in applying for the injunction
urged that a strike would prevent
the coal operators from fulfilling
their contracts with the railroads.
which would result in discontinuine
heir operation, increasing their
deficit and paralyzing the industry
of the country. Although the pro-
visions of this act expire when peace
is ratified, it still holds for cases
which originated before it expired.
New-York tribune., 1919-12-14

so, resulting in violence at the Chi
cago terminals and interference
with the transit of the mails. Eu-
gene V. Debs was at the head of
this attempt. The Federal Court is
sued very sweeping injunction, for
bidding interference with trains of
any character, and the use OF vio-
lence or even persuasion to induce
railroad employees to abandon thei1
lutles. The case went to the Su-
preme Court, where Debs and his
attorneys held that the boycott was
simply to settle the dispute between
the Pullman company and it's en-
ployees, having no intent to obstruct
commerce or the mails. 1t claimed
that the government, having no in
terest in the dispute, had no right
to invoke the injunction. The Su-
preme Court, however, sustained the
conviction of Debs for contempt of
court, Judge Brewer summing up
the case with the opinion that the
government had the right to invoke
an injunction whenever the public
welfare was involved, and to use all
civil and military powers to enforce
this right.
The controversy on this question
grew more bitter up to 1914, when
Congress passed the Clayton act
This hrn1l1ht hack tha old e,nastio,,

of certain rights and duties, while the
province Of injunction Is to forbid
performance Of certain acts which
might interfere with rights or result
in wrongs" +
Jurists have generally approved of
it's USE in labor disputes, as a man
IS entitled to conduct his business
without molestation from others, and
the law has right to restrain COM
binations for unlawful purposes
Of course, the question is what con-
stitutes unlawful interference or
molestation; a question which has
kept American legislatures and
courts busy for twenty-five years
finding a balance between the differ
ent views of capital and organized
labor.
The origin of the inclusion of labor
organizations in the power of a
writ of injunction lay in the Sher-
man antitrust law of 1890, and
was upheld by the Supreme Court
in the case of the Workingmen's
Amalgamated Council VS.. the United
States. It was applied In the Pull
man strike of 1894, when the rail-
road unions sought to boycott Pull
man cars and inrita othoro +o d
