WHAT IS AMERICA?

TN HIS address to the foregn-born folk
at Chester, Governor Sproul talked
like man of imagination and knowledge
and genuine understanding. His speech
was one that could be read with advan-
tage by good many business men and
politicians.
What the Governor said, in effect, was
that America isn't to be run by or for
anybody in particular. 1t is really free
country. This is true. There are groups
and classes Of one sort or another in the
United States who deude themselves
with the belief that they are the whole
country. Privileged and unprivileged
interests acquire the same notion at in
tervals. They are all wrong.
America isn't for one man any more
than it is for another. 1t isn't for the
present alone. 1t is for the future. It
is an idea and an ideal. It's laws are
slow at times, and we have fallen into
confusion too often in trying to keep
pace with unexpected complications due
to industrial development and increased
population.
But the purpose of this government
is fixed and sure.
1t is to guarantee equality of oppor-
tunity to every man, woman and child.
1t is to permit every one to contribute
the best of his mind and spirit to the
general good.
And it assures to each the rewards and
the recognition which he may earn by
intelligence, industry or devotion.
That is pretty good ideal of govern
ment. And it should be preached to the
men in power these days as we'll as to
those who have to labor.

1t would be interesting to know whether
he fully appreciates the rigorous nature

The Germans, according TO the more

TO MR.. TRAINER AND THE PRESS

The Press may nave reasons of it's
own which it does not care to disclose
for its conduct of dishonest campaign
of Misrepresentation concerning the San
som street project and the great public
improvements that are involved in it.
But it unconsciously discloses one motive
for its course when it couples that cam
paign, professedly based on high grounds
of civic patriotism, upon the slanderous
and irresponsible utterances of a thor
oughly discredited and disreputable ward
politician. The Public Ledger does not
intend to dignity the Trainer statements
further than to say that if any citizen of
Philadelphia believes that this newspaper
is capable of selling its support to "the
organization" for any advantage or gift
at its disposal, he has only to turn to the
columns of the Public Ledger to find
the truth as to it's attitude.

| Not the statesmen at the Quai d'Orsay

enemy has woven since the signing of
the armistice. The support and indorse-

especially in untiring refutation Of the
foul charge that the Peace Conference

To indorse such twaddle is to play into
Germany's hands just as servilely as to

Christening.
The Congress of Vienna whose prob

parable in intricacy and magnitude to
those now raised lasted from September
"a, 1914, until June 9, 1915.
Four months elapsed between the
signing of the Franco-G German armistice
in 1871 and the signing of the treaty of
Frankfort. and those negotiations in
volved only two nations.
The Russian and Japanese commission
ers in 1905 sat down at the Portsmouth
peace table on August 9, 1905, and the
treaty was not ratified until October 4.
The Spanish-Amer War was ended
in military and naval sense when the
protocol was signed on August 10, 1898.
The questions before the belligerents
were comparatively simple. yet the
treaty was not signed in Paris until
December 10.
The sessions in Paris, involving the
most staggering tasks ever put before
any statesmen since the beginning of
time, have endured for but little more
than two months.
Germany would like us to believe that
those two months have been two years.
She and her Hungarian confederate will
be delighted to have us regard the Boil

bona fide.
