The New Army

preventative Julius Kahn will be
the chairman of the Committee on Mill
tary Affairs in the next House. The
country is to be congratulated on that
fact. For many years Mr.. Kahn has led
the fight in the House for sound army
legislation. He will continue to lead it,
The War Department has no pro-
gramme Of military reorganization. 1t
is pushing a stop-gap measure providing
for the creation of an army of 100000
men, recruited and maintained by obso-
lete, ante-war methods. The department
evidently expects to lapse back to the
old standing, professional army model.
Mr.. Kahn opposes return to the
past. He sees that what the country
needs is not fixed military police
force, but military system which will
train men to arms, create ample re-
serves and provide widespread mill
tary education. The standing army is
only nucleus A countrys real mill
tary strength is in its population fit
for military duties, but released from
service.
my opinion" Mr.. Kahn said in the
House the other day, "is that we can
get along with comparatively small
army if we adopt the principle of uni
versal traning.' That is the Swiss
Australian system. 1t is inexpensive
and democratic. And it produces re-
suits which are invaluable either in war
or in peace.
Nations go to war nowadays, not
armies. And that nation is best pre-
pared for war which in time of peace
has developed the largest reserves of
men with military training.

This Way Out, Please

Mine host the genial Uncle Sam, who
was popularly supposed to have thrown
away the key when he opened the doors
his repute for open-handed hospitality.
First there is introduced into Congress
a bill which takes the "Welcome" off the
country's doormat and now we have
with us a consignment Of fiftyfour un
desirable aliens marked f. 0. b. New
York and destined for various points in
Europe.
Apparently no intricate point in eti-
quette is involved; the action of Judge
John c. Knox in denying the application
for a writ Of habeas corpus on the part
of the men to be deported would so indi-
cate. The only issue seems to be the
right Of the host to suggest to guests
who grow disorderly and smash the
spare bedrooms that the weekend party
is over and if they will excuse him he'll
close up the house and get back to
business
1t is possible that the discovery that
our front door swings out as we'll as in
will have a salutary effect upon some of
those who remain. Some of those able
to flourish naturalization papers may
also be wholesomely influenced. More
over, the spasms Of the elected, who vio-
lently oppose return to better lands, are
agreeable to our national conceit. The
deported work more than eight hours
abusing America, but acts speak louder
than words, and by their acts they show
what they really think

impossibilities is that of making the

WEIMAR, Feb. 1.-THE German govern
ment crushed the Spartacide Independent
regime at Bremen with the same sanguinary
methods as those employed in Berlin. The
sanguinary suppression of macontents, even
where no real necessity for such action is
apparent, is becoming the rule. There are
several motives that may account for this
extraordinary proceeding, but there is one
general consideration underlying the whole
spirit which actuates the present rulers Of
Germany.
They act upon the assumption that four
years of war and the ensuing military col
lapse have completely destroyed the morale
of the German people; that, having seen
their faith in military invincbility and the
superiority of their military leaders shat
tered. nothing but the overwhelming display
and ready employment of force on the slight
est provocation will cure the appetite for
disorder and the spirit Of riotousness which
the breakdown of the old iron discipline un-
doubtedly set free
H0 Nei HdH people, so lne ldclt diEulAe"'
runs, have no faith in anything but brute
force. Consequently, the display Of brute
force is the highest principle of the govern
ment. Thus, in the eyes of the rulers o.
Germany, force is still supreme for all Ills
of domestic affairs, as they fancied e to be
in international affairs four years ago
However, the challenge to this principle IS
growing. A national conference of the SOL
ders' councils with the various army corps
which happened to be assembled in Berlin
during the military operations agains'
Bremen passed resolutions condemning the
policy of force and protesting against blood
she'd But one has the impression that TINS
was the last desperate struggle Of the SOL
diers councils against extinction as IN
portant factors in army and public lne'
Quite apart from the decree which reduces
them to the position of glorihed Kitchen
committees, these councils now exist only IN
the fast vanishing remnants of the old army.
The new volunteer army ignores the whole
institution.
There is considerable force IN the govern
ments argument that the soldiers counci'
represent really nobody, but great ques'
ton is whether it is at all possible TO strlS'
at the root of revived Prussian miltaris"
without giving farreaching powers of con
troll to such bodies as the soldiers councils
New-York tribune., 1919-02-15

seems to have receded in fact if not in
form. Formal annexation is avoided, but
the mandatory may administer a
region as an integral part of itself. AS
to some German colonies there are limta-
tions, but it is to be noted that equal
opportunities for trade are reserved to
members of the league. The British and
French colonies have apparently gained
substantially all they sought.
AS to the membership Of the league,
clear-cut victory seems to have been won
by those opposed to the admission of
Germany and her allies except after a
period of probation. The five nations,
with representatives Of four more neu-
trail or minor belligerents, are to const-
tute the executive council and to be the
membership committee. The principle
that Germany must be exceptionally
treated because of her exceptional con-
duct is thus recognized and way
logically opened to an amendment to dis
arm her until she can be trusted.
Summing up, it may be said the world
has presented to it five-nation league
rather than an all-nation one.

The Deadline of PIutocracy

In the trial of Scott Nearing on a
charge of trying to obstruct recruiting
there was an interesting discussion be-
tween the defendant and Judge julius
NJ Mayer in regard to what constitutes
a "plutocrat." Anybody, of course, who
worked for J. p Morgan and lived on
Long Island was plutocrat, the witness
said. Judge Mayer, pressing for more
enlightenment, asked:
How about man, let us say a business
man Broadway who has accumulated
from 100000 to 100000, through business
alone, and confines his control of the
public policy through his ballot, which is
his political right. Is he plutocrat?"
DR.. Nearing replied that such a man
was q plutocrat Indirectly"
"Do you include also" continued Judge
Mayer, "a man who by the use of his
hands or brains, or both, who has reached
that stage in his life when he has no
debts, and has accumulated by work that
is socially useful, let us say, $4,000? Is
such a man a member of the plutocracy %
"Probably not answered Dr.. Nearing
quickly.
Which recalls the old story of the
Irishman who asked for a definition of
socialism. =
"Well," said his informant, "it is like
this: If you had two houses you would
give me one. You'd be willing to do that,
wouldn't you?"
"Sure," said the Irishman; chats only
right"
"And if you had two cows you'd give
me one?"
"Sure, one cows enough for any man"
"And if you had two pigs you'd give
me one?"
"Here," exclaimed the Irishman
"what're you talking about? I've got
two pigs"
Which arouses speculation as to how
near 'by the use Of his hands or BRAIN
or both," or by "work that is socially
useful DR.. Nearing has come to accu-
mulating $4,000.

Fraternization

What is the meaning of these tales Of
determination between the American
army Of occupation and the German
populace? 1t is easy to believe that
there is deliberate attempt to win over
our soldiers by demonstrations Of friend
illness. The Germans, hating us as much
as they hate the English, have the idea
that we are soft-hearted. Won Papen
once expressed this conviction in
famous phrase. SO they fancy that
little politeness, little superficial geni-
ality, little appeal to sentiment, will
win us over to. play aduocatus diaboH at
the peace conference
1t is unbelievable that the soldiers who
have fought in France, who have wit
messed the desolation wrought there, who
have experienced at first hand the hor-
rors Of Hun warfare, will be moved by
the domestic comedy now being played
on the Rhine. If they contrast the clean
liness and order Of German towns with
the squaor they have left it can only be
to recall what France has suffered and
what Germany has escaped. If they are
disposed to pity the women and the chill
dren the memory of other women and
children cruelty done to death or wor &c
should give them pause 1t is begging
the question to say that the German
women and children were in no way re-
sponsibe for what their husbands and
fathers did The whole nation played
the part of a savage while it had the
power, and women are part of the
nation.

The Shortened Week

lhe War Labor Board, Jointly asked
by the silk manufacturers to standardize
labor time, breaks new ground by tenn
porarily establishing a fortv-two and
one-half-hour week-eight and one-half
hours a day for five days a week. The
forty four-hour week has been agreed to
IN branches of the clothing industry in
New York, but here is a further lessen
ing. 1t was urged by the labor leaders
and approved by employers as calculated
to counteract the propaganda of |. w. w.
elements which seek to Russianize
America, even though the consequences
are, as in Russia, famine, butcherv and
autocracy.
Intelligent labor leaders, it is to be as
sumed, know what they are doing. No
workingman who takes the trouble to
think challenges the mathematical truth
that parts can never exceed in magnitude
a whole from which they are drawn. In
economics this means that the total
wages distributed cannot for any con-
siderable period exceed the total value Of
the goods produced. Production precedes
and limits distribution. This law, as in
flexible as the law of gravitation in the
physical world, controls quite as much
when industrial leadership is socialistic
as when it is capitalistic. Wages are
higher in this country than elsewhere be-
cause of our ability to produce in the
aggregate more per man at work.
With the forty-two and e-half hour
week will production be increased per
man? A shortening Of hours, leading to
more intensive and skilful labor and
greater reliance on machinery, has been
colncident with larger actual wages. but
at some point the lessening Of labor time
overbaances the gains of more rapid
work. The acceptablity Of the new
standard depends on the answer given by
experience
The workers of this country-the men
and women who possess the supreme
power and thus are masters of it's des-
tiny--have no desire for smaller real
wages and less ample living. By work
ing two hours day with modern aids
they could doubtless produce as much as
did their forefathers in ten hours but
they would scarcely restore the old stand
ards to gain greater leisure at the cost
Of material deprivation.
Between 1870 and 1880 the purchasing
power of the annual income of the aver
age family Of America increased 40 per
cent; from 1880 to 1890, SO per cent;
from 1890 to 1900, 81 per cent; from
1900 to 1910, 13 per cent; from 1910 to
1913, although there are yet no official
data, about 20 per cent
In fifty years, with shorter hours per
day, real wages have thus approximately
tripled; employers and employees have
divided between them an enormous bene-
fit incident to higher production per man
A lowering of wages, Of real wages,
and pushing down Of the standard of
living, will not, it may be predicted, miti-
gate unrest. If this reduction in the
living standard, the natural consequence
of the short week, is to be avoided, en-
