DON'T MAKE WILSON TIN GOD
DR., Cortlandt Myers Says Peace
Conference Is Tragedy.

BrNGHAMToN. May lS.-'Don't make
a little tin god of Wilson: God can fin
ish His work without Wilson, Clemen-
ceau or any one else" said the Rev
DR.. Cortland Myers in addressing to-
day 800 delegates at a Christian En-
6eavor convention in the First Baptist
Church in this city.
Suppose we have destroyed autoc-
racy forever" DR.. Myers continued, IT
think temporarily we have destroyed its
companion militarism. but only tenn
porarily. But when I read of the Peace
Conference over in Paris I think we are
in an, insane asylum. The Peace Con-
ference Is a tragedy. almost a bias
phemy. They have never had a prayer
and have never mentioned God. They
would not dare to mention the name OF
Christ.
DO you suppose we are going to get
peace on earth by ignoring the Prince
OF Peace. We shall never have Justice
or peace in America until there is a
better distribution OF the good things of
America. There are too many million
aires and too many poor people. Your
Goddess Socialism will sweep over the
entire land and tear your flag into
shreds unless you rise up and fight it
and conquer It."

CANADA'S WEALTH.
Estimates Put 1t Now at Twelve Bill.
ions of Dollars.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: There
are no official figures about Canadas
wealth.
In 1887 Luther H. Holton. a promi-
nent steamboat owner-of Hooker. Hol-
ton & Company OF Montreal-made an
investigation into the matter, and he
gave IT as his opinion that the whole
private and public wealth of Canada
East and Canada West. now the prov
inces Of Quebec and Ontario. was f75.-
600, 900, Halifax currency, or $500. 000.-
900. In 1S47 the st. Lawrence and We'll
land canals were not yet opened to
traffic. nor was the Grand Trunk Rail-
way or any part of 1t. Mr. Holton
afterward became Finance Minister in
enc of the Sandfield- Macdonald Govern
ments, and his figures were generally
adopted as official.
In 1867, when Ontario and Quebec
wero Joined TO Nova Scotia and New
brunswick. the same authority placed
the total wealth OF the new Dominion
of Canada at $500, 100000. No one
has ever disputed Mr.. Holton's figures
Now. what is the Dominion's present
wealth?
have seen estimates that in 1914
Canada's total wealth was $4,000, OOO.-
600, and now in 1919 it's wealth is double
that. or 1000. O0O,O These figures
were not official and were mere guess
work, but 1 fancy Mr.. Holton's figures
we're also guesses.
The last official census was in 1911,
too far back to be reliable guide. The
enormous wealth poured into Canada
since 1914 for provisions grain, leather.
nickel. asbestos and other mineral prod
ucts makes the figures of the 1911 CEN
sus obsolete and illusory.
Can nothing be done TO clear up this
mystery Or must we wait till 1921 to
SEQ what that census will say?

"LapdOg Patriots m"

No citizen who had not served in
the army or navy would dare to talk
as Colonel WILLIAM ]. DONOVAN of the
old Sixty-ninth Regiment talks about
the petting and coddling by solicitous
non-combatants Of men discharged
from the services. To call the pos
sibly exaggerated tenderness with
which the former fighting men are
treated 'lapdog patriotism" is n bold
thing for any man, even a man af-
fectionately called Wild BILL, to do.
Colonel DONOVAN fears that the
men will grow soft, morally fiabby,
under the ''patronizing, babying tao
tics that are being employed by many
toward the returned soldier" He
specifies offers Of money and enter
talnment made to returned soldiers,
too much emphasis laid on the sacri-
fees they have made, talk about the
debt the world owes them. He fears
the men may be demoralized by their
re option.
We do not share Colonel DoNovAN's
gloomy opinion. The natural desire
of all Americans to show their respect
and admira ton for their fighting men
may have taken an unfortunate turn
In some cases, but the period of re-
grettable excuses will not last long
and comparatively few men will be
subjected to them. Not all Of those
who are exposed to its facilitating
effect will be deceived as to its true
significance.
The men coming out Of the army
are happily free from decisions con
corning their future. They accept tn,
applause that is given to them at what
1t is worth-and 1t Is worth something
and ask for Jobs. They do not I'M
dervalue their mantle Of heroism, but
they do not undervalue the value OF
steady work either. If some individ
uals want to be silly about them they
do not Intend to be silly about them
selves. Colonel DONOVAN should cheer
up. The worst Is not yet to come.

A Comparison OF PrOclamatiOns Of
Extraordinary Sessions.

Students of Presidential documents
will be Interested in the form of the
call for an extraordinary session OF
the Congress, or at least in the word
ing of Mr.. WILSON'S preamble:
Whereas public interests require
that the Congress of the United States
should be convened in extra session
at IL o'clock noon, on the 18th day
OF May, 1919. to receive such COM
muncations as may be made by tho
Executive"
It will be observed that the appar-
ent purpose for the converting of Con.
gress is ito receive such communica.
tlons as may be made by the Execu,
tive" In another business crisis q
President Of the United States con
tented himself with describing broadly
the "distrust and apprehension
which pervaded financial circles and
he called the Congress together, moi
particularly to receive his communica'
lions, but "to the end that the PEG
pie might he relieved" In this proc
lamation. dated June 80, 1893, Presl
dent CLEVELAND added the following
to his explanatory preamble:

PARADERS WANTED BEER.
An Informal Vote by the Seventy
seventh on Prohibition.

To THE EDITOR OF THE suN-Str: II
the politicians who are perplexed over
the attitude of the soldiers on the Ques-
ton of prohibition had their ears
open at the time the Seventy-seventh
paraded UP Fifth avenue they surely
learned where the boys who saw actual
fighting are going to stand on this
question when they come to take their
places in civil and political life. I and
several others formed party that occu-
pied seats opposite the official review
ing stand at Fifth avenue and Eighty.
second street.
When the boys of the 3o6th and 3o7th
Battalions came along they set UP a
general chorus:
How dry we are"
I'VE want beer!"
81 would give dollar for a bottle
OF beer" said one six footer as he wiped
his perspiring brow.
Beer, beer. beer!" chorused others
as they tramped onward.
From the reviewing stands people
yelled back: You'll get your beer,
boys! God bless youw One little gray
haired woman with a black band and a
gold star on her arm echoed the senti-
ments OF the crowd when she stood up,
waved an American flag and said
ITS a rotten shame Those boys
did the lighting and the drys stayed at
home and did the talking"
am informed that from the time
the Seventy-seventh left Washington
Square until tho soldiers broke ranks
at the end of the march they gave vent
to their feelings over prohibition.
That there are rocks ahead for the
politicians and officeholders who are
responsible for the prohibition law is
plainly evident. THOMAS ]. CARRow.
