Time to Choose
In Russia
To the Editor of The Tribune.

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
e. IR: Information was published in your
~ paper March "a to the effect that the
American peace delegation hid dis
patched two American Bolshevists. Lincoln
Steffens and William c. Bullitt, to Moscow.
in order to prepare data for the supreme
council of the peace conference which
would enable it to recognize the Bolshevist
terroristic rule in Russia. Your paper men
tions that the ostensible reason for the dis
patch Of this commission is that 'the mem
bers Of the American peace delegation still
profess ignorance on the Russian situa-
ton"
Is it possible that the American peace
delegation really ignores the horrible and al
most hopeless nature of the Russian situa-
ton? Is it possible that their ignorance
has not been dispelled by the testimony of
practically all the Allied and neutral
representatives who fed from Russia under
the menace of the Boshevist bayonets?
Do the members of the American delegation
read some of the American papers? Have
they ever heard anything of the Overman
committee? Have they read of what Ambas-
sador Francis, Mr. Simmons, DR.. Huntington,
the Rev. Mr. Simons, etc. testified before the
Overman committee? What proofs are needed
in order to convince these gentlemen that the
Bolshevist rule is hell and not a para
disc? How many more Russians, men,
women and babies, must be murdered bv
the Bolsheviki in order to convince these
ldealstlc gentlemen that there is terror,
the worst known in history, going on in
Russia? What crimes must be accom-
plished by the Bolsheviki, in addition to
those already accomplished, in order to
prove that the Bolshevist rule is a criminal
in the most disgusting sense of the
word?
Is it not the duty of American pub
lie opinion to raise its voice in defence
of the Russian people who are being muir
dered and plundered by the wholesale by
gang of irresponsible anarchists and Grim
lnal cutthroats? Herron's mission failed
because of a combined effort on the part of
the loyal Russians throughout the world
Now Heron is being substituted by Steffens
and Bulitt. Watch your step: the patience
Of the Russian people has its natural limits,
and when the peaceful. timid Russian peo-
pie lose their temper they become fright
that the Allied nations are going to helm
the Russian traitors the Russian people
will become frightful. The 2OO 1000 ru-
bles in gold promised by the Bolsheviki to
this country for their recognition won't
help.
1t is up to the loyal, intelligent and
great American people to make an imme-
date choice between crime and treason on
the one hand and loyalty on the other;
between the Bolshevk criminals. interna-
tional dreamers, international criminals on
the one hand, ard the Russian people on
the other.

A Week of Verse

wi from our mistress
Telling me to come to Thur AT oncets
Bright tips reach up from twin towers,
Anienan spring. water falls into fat
spread pools
What is to be done about it!
Shall l ntrust myself to entangled
shadows
Where bold hands may do violence to my
person?
Yet if l postpone my obedience
because of this respectable terror,

For her hands have no kindness me-ward,
Nor is there any one to whom lovers are
not sacred at midnight
And in the Via Sciro
If any man would be 3 lover
he may walk on the Scythian coast:
No barbarism would go to the extent Of
doing him harm,
The moon will carry his candle,
the stars will point out the stumbles,
Cupid will carry lighted torches before him
and keep mad dogs off his ankles.
Thus all roads are perfectly safe
and at any hour;
Who so indecorous as to shed the pure
gore of a sutton?

wild beast back. They don't want an
other war, even though certain to win it.
II wild beast is abroad they think it
wiser to hunt him down and end him-or
at least to chain him.
In some quarters France is accused Of
narrowness. But in truth she seems a
nation with great breadth of vision. If
her advice is rejected there will be no
disarmament, and those now living will
probably see the horror of another world
war. France is surely able to support
her claim that she is the true pacifist.

Women In Medicine

For the first time woman is to hold
faculty position at Harvard The
board of overseers has appointed DR..
Alice Hamilton, of Chicago, as assistant
professor Of industrial hygiene at the
Harvard Medical School. DR.. Hamilton
is noted bacteriologist. Since 1910 she
has been investigating industrial poisons
for the United States Department of
Labor, and measures of health protec-
ton for munition makers are largely
due to her researches. Her appointment
at Harvard suggests her great talent;
otherwise the overseers would have had
no trouble in overlooking her.
The magic Of being a man still counts
for great deal in the medical profess
sion. lnterneships in hospitals are
awarded to men on the basis of their
medical school standing, but many hos
pitfalls refuse to consider a woman for
such post. Even in the stress of war
shortage our government did not give
commissions to women doctors, but &C
cepted them in the army only as econ
tract surgeons" True, DR.. Florence
Sabin is professor of histology at the
Johns Hopkins Medical School, having
first been there for fifteen years as
associate professor of anatomy; DR..
Dorothy Child has just been made chief
OF the division of child welfare in the
Pennsylvania State Health Department;
of the doctors who have carried on the
work of the American Women's Hospitals
in Europe five have been decorated by
foreign governments-three by France,
one by Serbia and one by Greece. And
yet only the other day the dean of a
New York City medical school which is
belatedly opening it's doors to women
students remarked that he hoped not
many of the sex would embark on such
an arduous course of training, and added
Some few (of those that graduate)
may adopt the practice Of medicine, but
in the main | would recommend labora-
tory work for women"-this being a hum
BILE and ill-paid calling (which more men
would undertake if they could afford it
The situation is improving rapidly,
however. Women are now admitted to
nearly all the leading medical schools
of this country and Canada. And most
deans are more encouraging than the
one just quoted DR.. Lambert, of the
College of Physicians and Surgeons, says
in his annual report for last year: at
is confidently expected that the admis-
sion of women will prove success in
medical education at Columbia, for the
standard and work of these students (the
eleven women in the entering class) are
fully equal to that of any other group
in the school," Incidentally, last years
total enrolment was abnormally large,
and DR.. Lambert hazards the prophecy
that "the admission of women will in no
way diminish the number of men ap-
plcants" Columbia Law School please
note!

4 Natural Capitalism

There very thoroughgong Socialists
in high places in the league-A. Z. Bowen,
Walter Thomas Mills, Arthur lie Sueur, for
instance. Townley himself seems more the
opportunist than the thoroughgoing doc
trinaire; he came to the Socialist party
from the establishment Of flax farm
gambling. The rank and file Of the league
$4,000 in North Dakota-are simply aver
age Scandinavian and American farmers.
They have yet to dream of the dictatorship
of the proletariat, or talk in their sleep of
the Economic Interpretation of history"
"The class struggle" is incomprehensible to
them. They are, after all, examples of the
natural capitalism which has existed in the
farm lands since the world began, and
which was the general rule before the in
dustrial revolution. They own the tools of
production. They don't care to think about
the state taking them over. Their radical
ism arises from the fear that somebody else,
the banker and the big money manipulator,
is on the way to owning those tools. Where
ever events may finally lead, the propaganda
and the laws of the Nonpartisan League
and have been directed against encroach
ments on private ownership by what they
call Dig Dr.
1t is propaganda which has quite re-
spectacle history in the United States. In
the last fifty years hardly decade has
passed without some outcropping of farmer
reform" or labor reform" dominated by
much the same ideas as are behind North
Dakotas new laws. America, industrially
and economically, has been more largely in
the natural" position of the farmer than
any other large country except Australia
or Canada. Consequently, no body of whole
sale "class conscious" philosophy has ever
arisen. The Grange attacked "the railroads
and the monopoles." The Farmers ALI
ance united with the Knights of Labor de-
clared for the abolition of national banks
and the government ownership of the means
Of transportation and INSTRUMENTATION
and urged that the farmer be allowed adj
vances against his products when deposited
in warehouses to be built and owned by the
government. Along with Free Silver, the
Populist party of the nincties stood for
government ownership to curb abuses of
monopoly.

~ to embark on a Socialist pro-
gramme of stateowned industry The
thoroughness and completeness with which
A. c. Towncy has built up the idea, the
organization and the law-makng of the
Nonpartisan League lead to a superficial
conclusion that North Dakota will wake up
some morning and find itself the first COM
pletely collectvist state in the world.
Perhaps and perhaps. Opponents assert.
Friends deny. The decision lies in the
future of course; but there is a certain
basis for judgment in the character of laws
passed and the general background of
American radicaism into which the league
fits

government
In large manufacture the league has put
North Dakota into the milling business and
is likely to extend its action to meat pack
ing and bread making if it finds monopoly
or conspiracy fighting the state There is
no manufacture of Importance in North Da-
kota itself, and these outside industries
the only ones utilizing the products of the
farmers.
The distributive agencies touched by the
league laws are few. They are covered by
the vague provision under the mill and ele-
vator act for the marketing of farm prod
ucts." But the leaders of the league and
the individual members have gone actively
into extensive distributive operation for
the reducing of the price of goods sold to
the farmers This is the set of chain stores
run under the name of the Consumers
United Stores Company. Opposition gossip
says that the state may be induced some
day to take over these stores. Townley
himself, who is the leading factor in their
management, confesses that they interest
him personally more than the league itself
Government Competition the
P0noCe0
AS for finance, there is the state bank
and the farm loan and home building prof.
ects.
1t is interesting to note that in only one
of these fields is there any proposal looking
eventually to government monopoly - the
Ignite activities of the state, plus the
strictive mining code. Government compe-
ttion is the panacea generally proposed.
League opponents, however, when they do
not assert that state industry will fail,
argue that it will drive private capital out
of business.
At present government activity in indus
try is proposed and supported by the farm
ers only as a corrective The two essential
questions are, therefore:
Will inefficiency, politics and graft wreck
competitive state industries?
Or will competitive state industries wreck
private business and create state monopoly?

Transit Company Goes
Into Hands OF Receiver

New York, Jan. 1.-Thc Brooklyn
Rapid Transit company is today in the
hands of Receiver Lindley M. Garri-
son, former secretary of war.
Colonel Timothy M. Williams, pres
ident of the B. R. T., which controls
an extensive system of trolley, elevated
and subway lines, said the company did
not resist the bankruptcy complain, al
ed againt it by the Westinghouse Flee
trio company for supplies furnished.
The company was obliged to meet obi
cations of $2,000,000, he said, and this
would have been impossible if plans
for new construction and equipment
work had been carried out. Williams
asserted that :" stationary fares and ris-
ing costs" had impaired the credit of
rapid transit companies.
Public Service Commissioner Whit
ney said he thought the recent B. R. r.
wreck in which 80 passengers were kill
ed and which resulted in damage suits
for millions and the indictment of iWi-
liams and other officials of the com
psny on manslaughter charges had some
thing to do with the bankruptcy.

might almost imagine that no war was
being waged. This was emphatically
not the case in 1918. War in many of
Its grim phases was brought home to
US by the sending of two million men
abroad and the gathering Of anotner
two million in American camps by the
voting by congress of an army without
limit, by the stripping Of our Industries
Of its best men, by the extension of the
draft ages to include all males from
eighteen TO forty five, by the opera
tions Of the German submarine murder
ors on our coast, by the growing lists
Of casualties, and by the mounting up
of war costs to almost unbelievable
heights. In 1918, too, all the early dc,
hsions as to the causes and nature Of
the war were dissipated, and its true
character as life and death struggle
of dsAeney and civilization against all
thu was abhorrent and deoadent be-
came manifest. That the sending over
of our armies to France was not mere
ly question of numbers carried but
also Of quality of fighting material
sent, was proved by the splendid work
of our soldiers, who, our friends the al
lies admit, arrived just in timo to turn
the scale Of the conflict and to block
the way Of the Germans to the channel
ports and TO Paris, and later, in con
junction with our allies, under the su-
Preme command of the brilliant French
Marshal Fcch, broke the German lines,
expelled the invader from northern
France and from Belgium. and finally;
By The terms Of the armistiee asked
for BY the beaten foe, established the
allied line far within the enemies bor-
der, constituting new Watch on the
Rhine pending final peace settle
ment. It will probably be the verdict
of history that eur full strength had
not yet been put forth when the coli
lapse Of the boastcd affieient Tentonic
combination was registered in the Ger
man surrender and revolt and the fin
al abdieatien of power by the self
styled War Lord and his eonfederates.
Thus this latest and greatest crusade
was won. peace returned to the earth,
and the preparations Tor the conference
at Versailles gave peculiar emphasis
to the Christmas season and were
fraught with favorable auguries for
the ushering into the world of a tru-
y Happy New Year.

four years and nearly four months adj

be said that no human being expected

that the financial cost thereof tpreh-
