New-York tribune., 1919-04-13

Ooinion appears to divide as to the
local right Of bringing Wilhelm Hohen-
voIlern before an international tribunal
The American view, notably that held by
Secretary Lansing, seems to favor "a
r,oral Indictment, without recourse to
nrosccution owing to the lack Of nterna-
tional law as basis for action. The
.Iapanese representative is said also to
incline to this view But according to a
d;snatch in "The New York Times" 'the
recommendation of majority Of the
commission that the former Kaiser be
tried by a special court for violations of
international morality, sanctfiod by him
self personally, prevailed. There seems
to have been compromise, according to
the Associated Press report, by which
one member of the Allies, probably Bel
gium. will assume the role Of prosecutor
"of the former Emperor and others re-
sponsibe for the breach of treaties, the
invasion of territory' and other acts
"leadng to a more general spread Of the
war"
This method Of dealing with one it
calls "the greatest criminal in histoly,'
does not appeal to The New York
Tribune. The proposition "has a die
away, lay-on-the-table, indefnitely-po
pone quality which suggests that unless
Germany herself is moved to do some
thing nothing viii be done "The Balti-
more Sun agrees, denouncing the ten
dency of "hair-splitting lawyers" to be-
fog the issue. Something more, it de-
cares, than 'moral Indictment" is de-
manded now. The New York World"
observes that "a trial without due process
of law would not be an impressive pro
ceeding, and might do more harm than
good. "The Springfield Republican,"

him as Napoleon was treated.

sent to Congress is a plan for private
ownership and operation Of the rail-
roads under strict government con-
troll. with the retention Of all the great
reforms instituted under the present
government war management. These
reforms are nearly all OF such a char
acter that Il would have been unlaw-
full for the roads themselves to at
tempt them. They became possible
when the government took over the
management. and thus escaped the
penalties fixed by law for c%onsolida-

JUSTICE Melted TO SOCIALISTS

Victor Berger, socialist leader and
congressman. has been convicted with
four associates. on a charge of disloy-
atty and sedition.
From the beginning OF Americas
entry into the war, Berger had done
his best to obstruct the draft; had
preached sedition and practiced dis
loyalty. They praised the B%olsheviki
and helped the I. w w. The evidence
against Berger and his party, was
overwhelming.
In the Socialist mind. all men op-
posed to Socialism are Capitalists
and the convicted men are victims OF
the ruling class" According to Ber-
ger. the Socialists have been trying
to convince the citizen voters that the
American system OF government is all
wrong. while the Socialist government
is a far superior one. They were not
content to try to convert the majority
to their beliefs in the right American
way. SO they tried disloyai methods,
and as a consequence will receive
their just deserts.
Meanwhile the House of Represent
atives will be fully within its rights
