foreign territories to be canvassed in
behalf of American trade!
While we are talking, England is
acting. An experienced and successful
trader-an old hand at the bellows-a
tireless producer and distributer-she
is alert and abroad, showing and sell
ing goods, and laying foundations for
more trade than she has hitherto ever
enjoyed. She is not to be criticised.
It would be foolish to complain. She
is doing just what she ought to
do-doing the right thing, and do
ing it now. 1t is her duty to look out
for her own; and she we'll understands
that if she neglects it nobody else will
attend to it for her.
Let us take leaf out of England's
book-learn of this boss trader. There
is no altruism in trade. We are en-
tering a field where competition rules.
We must look out for ourselves. If
we do not adopt and faithfully apply
the motto, america frst," we shall
not only fail to take a place among
the trading nations, but become a jest
wherever and whenever men discuss
trade and the methods of those who
engage in it.

service in. patrolling the submarine
infested areas. 1t Carried on" in all
weathers, patrolling its allotted
squares, rescuing the companies of tor
pedoed ships. fighting submarines and
getting many of them. 1t conveyed
the great supply armadas that were de-
pended upon for the support of the
fighting forces and for the feeding of
the allied countries.
The largest ships of the Navy were
assigned places in the great fleet that
kept the enemy sea force behind the
protection of the coast defenses of Ger
many. This was a hard, dangerous
work Submarines and mines were a
constant menace. The sea had to be
patrolled in all conditions, in calm and
storm.
In every duty assigned to them the
men of the American Navy scored
high. They were recognized as able
seamen and as stanch fighters. They
won high praise from the allies, and
especially for the speed of their per-
formances, for the efficiency of their
organization and for the accuracy of
their gunnery. Their dash and spirit
especially elected admiration.
Had it fallen to the lot Of the Ameri-
can Navy to engage the enemy at sea
on approximately even terms, these
qualities would doubtless have led to
victory. Fortunately there was no need
of such a sacrifice as even a sweeping
victory would have entailed. AS it was
there were losses, but relatively very
slight. Admiral Sims stands today for
a record that merits the warmest praise
from the American people. He repre-
sents service that rendered possible
the victory over Germany.

Our Nays War Record.

Vice Admiral Sims reaches this coun
try today from his long tour of duty
in European waters. An impressive re.
eeption has been planned for him when
he lands in New York. The occasion
merits a special demonstration, for Ad-
miral Sims stands for an achievement
which has been Of necessity somewhat
obscured and which should have full
recognition by the people Of this coun.
try.
Our Navy did not play a spectacular
part in the war. It was engaged in no
pitched battles at sea. But it was very
much on the Job. and very efficient in
all that was assigned to it. And the
part it played was vitality important.
It safeguarded our transports as they
piled back and forth over the Atlantic,
carrying the immense army that turned
the tide of the fight and contributed
the final weight that won tho victory.

No Undue Pessimism.

Bolshevist Hungary's seeming repu-
diation of Austria Hungary's armistice
surrender to the allies and her bellig-
erent defiance of the entente. followed
by the violent bolshevist demonstra-
tion in Bavaria, while naturally devel-
oping gloomy apprehensions in the war
weary, ought on the whole to be whole
some, bracing and beneficial in effect.
Distinct attention is specifically call
ed to the fact that the victory upon
which our peace treaty is to be based
is disputed by at least one of the en-
emy peoples. The hint is given that
victors' might should be promptly and
vigorously utilized to enforce genuine
peace in Europe today, postponing for
time, if necessary, elaboration of the
plan to enforce world peace in the in
definite future by universal agreement
through Union of the World.
The four nations, whose unified
armies have won the war, are now
frankly functioning in victors' league.
The supreme war council, headed by
Foch, is in the picture conspicuously
again. Attention is significantly sailed
to the fact that disarmament under a
victors leagne. instead of being uni
form and undiscriminating. as under
n world league, leaves the victors with
five soldiers in arms against the van
quished's one. and practically destroys
the latter's navy.
Hungary's act, being that of an en-
envy, not only expedites and puts fresh
vigor into thoroughly effective peace
framing at Paris, but gives the oppor-
tunity, if the entente thinks it wise to
utilize it, of bringing Foeh and his
unified army into the equation as q
dominating and beneicent factor, not
only in Hungary, but incidentally for
the benefit of neighboring Poland and
Rumania and Czechoslovakia.
In dealing with bolshevism in Hun
gary, where it must be handled if
Hungary insists, hint may be given
to -bolshevism in Russia If the
Russia which as an ally fought bravely
and effectively to save the world from
Prussianism is really given over to
bolshevism and voluntarily accepts boil
shevik government the victors' league
will recognize its right Of self-deter-
mination in government, and ace ,de
to its request to be let alone. But if
the real Russia does not assent .-scep.
under duress to bolshevik murd,rous
despotism, it must indicate the fact in
some unmistakable way, before the vic
tors league has enforced and proclaim
ed in treaty European and world peace.
Russia must speak now or forev er
after hold its peace. The victors'
league, technically called again to war
by Hungary's act, will respond to a
genuine eel: for relief from the real
Russia. But when the victors' league
merges into the world league under
the proposed covenant, with bolshevik
Russia as a member, there can Re TO
such sympathetic interference from
outside. The worlI VIII then have
guaranteed bolsheyix Russia against
outside attack.

Lloyd George Asks Patience.

view with Stephen I4auzanne, editor of
the Paris Matin, asks for patience on
the part of the public of the allied
countries in the matter of the framing
of the peace treaty. "Cannot the peo-
pie wait until we have finished our
work." he asked, ''instead of always
wanting to judge our intentions"
The work at Paris is the greatest in
the way of international adjustment
ever undertaken in history. 1t is al
most a remaking of the political world.
1t involves questions much broader and
more important than the fixing of in
IDENTITIES or the drawing Of bounda-
ries 1t is designed not merely to settle
the issues that have arisen from the
great war, but to prevent as far as
possible the recurrence Of war between
states. 1t cannot be done in hurry,
save at the risk of errors that will call
for revision. perhaps after painful c1-
perienees and severe sacrifices.
Enemy ears tremble with joy" says
Mr.. Lloyd George, "when they detect
some hesitation. Friendly ears hear
confused rumors which are peddled far
and quickly" Paris is in q ferment
of expectation and apprehension.
Weighty interests depend upon the
outcome. National interests, however
allied in the prosecution of the war,
are not today wholly in harmony; nec-
essarily so, for completes have arisen
out of the unexpected debacle of the
enemy for which there was no formu
la of settlement when the final shots
were fred.
In the circumstances there is the
most urgent need, not merely Of
patience, but of confidence in the good
faith of those who are seeking q way
out of the difficult maze Of conflicting
interests and above all out Of the dis
tressing conditions that have developed
in central Europe in consequence Of
the rise and spread of bolshevism. In
tense as may be the concern Of those
who at Paris are urging this and that
proposal for inclusion in the peace
treaty, it must be accepted that none
of them will fail to accept the best
possible compromise Of their claims
and demands in preference to renewal
of the war, with all it's horrors.
In the matter of reparations to be
exacted from Germany Lloyd George
speaks frankly. The conference must
study not merely what Germany should
in justice pay, but what Germany can
in fact pay, and under what conditions
and with what guarantees Of payment.
The peace conference is in the position
Of a receiver for bankrupt concern.
It must find the most effective ratio
between the debt and the ability Of
the debtor to pay. Considering the
length Of time required in commercial
affairs to effect such an adjustment the
time that has been taken in Paris to
make the calculation and to frame
the terms is not to be regarded as ex-
cessive.
Reinsurance should be felt on the
strength of the British leaders state
ment that while there are differences
of opinion among the experts there
are no divergenees among the nego-
tiators. They have one common prin-
ciple: Germany must pay to the 2ast
farthing Of her power. And upon that
basis there is ground for unwavering
public confidence that the Paris Get
tlement will be just and effective.
