HERRoN,s APPoINTMENT SHOULD RE vAcATEp.

~ UT Of the mouth OF Professor George D. Heron
~ himself has the best confession Of his abso-
lutte untness represent the United States in negota
tons with representatives Of the Boshevist government
OF Lenine and Trosky. That-confesson is found at
length in editorial which reproduce from the
New York sun. II is as follows
One of the two chosen by President Wilson to
par'ey at PrnItpo with the representatives OF Lenne
and Trotzsy undertook about eighteen months TO
tell the Socialists of Europe why America had entered
the war. Professor Herron then resident OF
Geneva. wrote 10 the Tribune OF that city and also TO
Giornae dalia of Rome in June and July of 1917,
that President Wilson had guided the nation into
understanding of the meaning the war and into an
acceptance Of world responsibility" in order TO
world state embracing all nations. This is sample of
Herrons apocaIypte slush:
thus America travelled the road 10 Damascus and
saw great light. She enters upon the with
purpose and a spirit that perhaps hitherto
inspired warning nation. To her It is indeed holy
the Atlantic to the Pacific, the nation is
possessed by the purpose make the world safe for
democracy-to create in fact, world state embracing
all nations
''We are not alone in the struggle the hope for
which America has drawn the consecratcd sword In
vshly but sppreciaby proceeding in midst, white
horsed and well weaponed there dead 10 egosm from
The worlds foundation therefore predestned to VIC
Tory, the hosts and the Leadership no planetary
creatures Withstand. They In their
hearts the meaning Of these days. and upon them are
Z The wsss last issues the earth's neRable- ends
The peace that prooeedth from worded good WILL
justice that inhereh in mutual love only the free
that is naugh other than obedience to that love
these approaching, inevitable The kingdom OF
heaven is at hand"
Now there is anything for which the United
lid not go TO war with Germany IL was TO create a
world state embracing all nations That is a very differ
ent thing from making the world safe for democracy
President Wilson would not have said then; her GER
tainy would not say
A man who like this Heron capable of telling
his fellow Socialists in Europe 1917 that from the
Atlantic the Pacific the American nation possessed
by the purpose of making holy TO create a world
state embracing all nations is capable of telling the
solsheviki delegates that the American nation from the
Atlantic the Pacific is possessed by the purpose
Of joining them in the internationalizaon of
ment and the creation this planet of kingdom of
heaven built plans and specifications drawn by
Lenine and Trotzky.
Such man ought TO be kept where he can do no
II is scandal of the first magnitude that he
houd have the opportunity, representative of the
United States Executive, 10 misrepresent American
opinion and policy and purpose.
uelawareans know full well that when Heron made
eseiaTaton to the European Socialists be misrep-
