The convention Of the North Dakota district Of the
Lutheran Church Of America. now in session
in this city, will emphasize anew the prevalent tendency
to broaden the field Of religious organisations SO that
they comprise more and more purely national territory.
There was a time when the church stood aloof from the
civic and economic issues Of the day, but that age has

Archbishop Hayes

1t would almost seem that the Vatican
in its choice of Bishop Patrick j. Hayes
to be Archbishop Of the Diocese of New
York has been at pains to recognize the
Americanization movement.
At time when there has been a new
birth of American patriotism the entire
nation, Catholics and on-Catholics alike.

our renewed ideals that the man

l,325,OO0 Catholics, composing the larg-
est and richest Catholic see in the world.
is for the first time native-born Ameri-
can. The new Archbishop is a New
York product, having been born in the
lower city and spent all his life here.
And 1t is matter of congratulation to
New Workers that his Americanism and
patriotism are of brand that know no
sect or creed. Many Of his closest
friends are outside the Catholic Church.

even higher honors.

Facing Two Ways

Not without ingenuity is the double
nature Of the propaganda for the So
called covenant for a society of nations.
When the scene of labor is Europe,
when the doubling Thomases there
shake their heads as they try to recon

antiquities, they are told that, whatever
1T is, it is what America wants. In the

gulshes nowhere between nationals and

We enjoy a government of laws, not
of men-least of all, of MARKHAM super
men. The Russian internationalists
don't understand this and don't want to
understand it. Whatever may be
thought OF the merits of the Mooney
case, Mooney was convicted under the
laws of California. The United States
government is impotent to release him
or exchange him. 1t has no Jurisdiction.
Debs was convicted in a Federal court.
The government at Washington may
parole him or pardon him. But neither
as prisoner nor after parole or pardon
could it legally deport him to Russia in
exchange for Kolomatiano.
Many Americans have been slow in
grasplng the meaning Of the Soviet sys-
tenn in Russia. 1t is not government

tlons whatever. 1t is an even more rigid
despotism than the Cars or the

in power. And nothing serves to bring
tins fact home more clearly than Le-
mines whimsical overture for the re-
lease to his custody of Debs or Mooney.

The Boycott iD War

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Reporting Mr.. Taft's speech at Port
land, Ore, yesterday, The Tribune quotes:
"The punishment of a universal bOycOtt
is a very formidable instrument of re-
preston. We may reasonably hope that
this prospect will minimize the tempta.
tion to make war and to secure the object
of the league"
Mr.. Taft failed to make mention of most
apt illustration OF the efficacy of the boy
cott. as evidenced in the case of Germany
in the years 1914 ct seq. Although Ger
many had expected and prepared for 8
war which should last only SIX months, with
the aid Of the boycott-as universal" as
could be hoped for in any future war-she
was able to continue her slaughtering for
four years. Upon the same ratio, if she
should prepare the next time for at least
four years of war, the boycott may be con.
fdently expected to bring her to complete
standstill in something less than thirty
two years. RICHARD FERRIS.

Congress Is Congress

he question whether Congress can
convene without the interposition Of the
Executive is up again The words of
the Constitution are:
The Congress shall assemble at least
once in every year, and such meeting
snail be on the first Monday in Decem-
Der, unless they shall by faw appoint a
different day"
The above clause provides two things
one annual meeting, at least, and the
date of such meeting. 1t also makes pro-
vision for any other date that NAV be
determined by the Congress itself. not
by the Executive. Elsewhere the Presi-
dent is authorized to convoke one or both
houses of Congress "on extraordinary
occasions" and in actual practice the re-
suit has been that when it has convened
before the annual date in December it
has been ia answer to call by the Exec
utive.
But such call by the President is not
necessary. The Constitution makers were
especially anxious to curb the possible
ambitions Of future Presidents and made
it plain that this government of the
United States of America is a parliomeu-
td>y government primarily. Hence the
assembling of Congress ON its own init;-
ative is to be taken for granted, even

Five Partners Essential

Following the White House dinner it
was communicated to the American peo-
pie by The Associated Press that if the
United States does not adhere to a league
of peace the project will fail.
Of course. If the United States stays
outside there will be no league. The
league, if called into being, must be an
instrumentality of power adequate to
dominate the world by its concerted
force. If the United States is not a
member, if the power of the United
States is not with and behind the league,
it will not have that major or predomi-
nant power which it must have.
But the United States is in no excep-
tional position. Should France stay out,
should Great Britain stay out, should
Italy stay out, should Japan stay out
in any one of these contingencies the sub
traction be enough to obstruct the
creation of the preponderant power
which is essential to a peace league.
Some hold the United States and Great
Britain, brought together in an enduring
alliance, would prove sufficient to estab-
lish a peace of justice. However this
may be, it will scarcely be denied that
the added power of France, Italy and
Japan will give more complete assurance
of indisputable preponderance of power
The adherence of each one of the five
nations being probably essential, each ma
tion may say, as President Wilson is re-
ported as saying concerning America
that the scheme "depends" on it. We
have no such monopoly Of opportunity as
is implied, and it is just as essential to
satisfy other people as it is to satisfy
our own people.
1t follows that all of those who make
1t their business to unduly cry up this
country or to cry down other members
of the existing coalition are not peace
leaguers. The consequence of their
activities, if successful, will be the loss
of that mutual confidence among the Big
Five which must be had Hence the
hypocrisy of those men and publications
which pretend to be for a peace league
while doing everything in their power to
destroy its foundations. All of these are
not only opposing The league idea bat
arc doing it, consciously or unconscious
ly, to the advantage of Germany and
her satellites.
The Five Nations must not only be = g,
starting place if there is to be league,
but its sole motive power for the early
future. In fact there must be an alli-
ance. If this is so why not say so openly
and proceed to an open consideration Of
the business?
The refusal to proceed along these
definite and understandable lines has
persuaded a large part of the public
that, whatever the so-called covenant is,
1T Is not peace league--that it is merely
warm-over Of the Hague convention.
tvasive replies to pertinent questions, of
course, support this conviction.

Mercenaries of the Movies

Kisses are as sweet to the ear of the
artist actor playing the villain as is ap-
plause to the hero; both demonstrations
are testimonials to the actors skill But
not even the lure Of appearing in the
movies" is sufficient compensation to
induce American soldiers to endure the
obloquy connected with appearing in
German uniform.
The Victory Liberty Loan Committee,
which is planning to film scenes to be
used as advertising for the next loan,
found that soldiers from Camp Dix were
ready enough to portray heroic roles,
but that they baked at villain parts that
required them to impersonate Huns. Not
even the device of Bottom, who demanded
a prologue which should explain that
l, Pyramus, am not Pyramus, but Bot
tom the weaver" could persuade the
doughboys to put off the uniform they
had worn with pride for that of the
hated Boche. And their officers, ap-
preciating the feelings of the men, re-
fused to order them to play the detested
parts.
The result is that the scenes are be-
ing filmed with hired actors taking the
part of German soldiers, while the
American soldiers will be the real thing.
1t is safe guess that the hired Ger
mans will earn their money if they are
required to indulge in many sham bat
ties with the boys who remember the
Argonne and Chateau Therry.

Bolshevism Illuminated

Lenine is anxious to exchange an
American citizen under sentence of
death in Moscow for Debs or Mooney.
This may strike most Americans as a
piece of horseplay- another Bolshevist
effort to satirizc old-fashioned bourgeois
diplomacy.
But Lenine Is thoroughly in earnest
about it. The Kerensky government
had the same idea. For time one of
the chief aims of the Russian revolution
seemed to be to compel the California
courts to liberate Mooney.
This attitude of kcrensky. Lenjne and
al the other chiefs of Russian inter-
nationalism is highly illuminating. These
men, trained in the MARKHAM school Of
coliectlvisnl, cannot conceive of anv
other form of government than absolut-
Ism. They claim to be anti-militaristic.
But their ideal of administration ia mill
tarlsm pure and simple.
The exchange of prisoners of war
seems TO them to furnish q complete
parallel and justification for an ex-
change by governments, either at war
or not at war, Of civilians, citizen or
al'en, convicted Of offences against do
1nestic order. 1t is all matter of ukase
And 1t doesn't make any difference
whether the men demanded in exchange
are or are not nationals Of the country
demanding them.
1t is not claimed that Kolonatiano
the American held in Moscow, is in
tcrncd as an enemy. subject. II he were,
lien Debs or Mooney would have to be
interned after reaching Russia; for they
Arc both American citizens. Such techs
nicalities do not bother Lenine. He
