edgement Of the independence Of the
Irish republic would lead to war with
England and while we are not too
proud to fight if we are required to
de- so in defense of our own rights
VIC are not in favor of prowling
around the world like Don Quixote
hunting for other people who would
like to have help in the enforcement
of their rights. True to the an
roCncement of the doctrine of self
determination as applied to other peo-
Piles might be construed as pledging
Us to fight to give it to them but we
arc not willing to carry theory so
far. We announced the doctrine of
seIf-determination for ourselves one
hundred and forty-three years ago
and we made it good but that does
rot bind Us to make it good for all
others.
Frankly we did not know there was
an Irish republic. The man who
claims to be the president of it is in
this country and he is not called here
to a peace conference. If he would
go home and assume his duties there
might be more about the Irish repub.

A GOOD REASON FOR
JOINING THE LEGION

All ex-service men who do not be-
long to the American Legion had
better read the following from the
American Legion Weekly and then
make application to the nearest post:
Where the Legion Comes In
|: An incident occurring in a western
city of holy repute for patriotic &C
tivity is noted with interest if not
with a little panied surprise. The
mayor called for mass meeting OF
leading employers to consider the
problem of unemployment among men
lately discharged from the military
and naval service. OF the any in
vited some five employers responded
which caused the mayor to dismiss
the gathering with an expression OF
warranted disgust.
Now we are all quite familiar with
public apathy in piping times OF
! peace. Perhaps that is greater de-
gree of apathy on the part of EN-
p!oyers than one ordinarily would b'
willing to expect. Certainly it does
not provide an indictment agains
| employers. They may all have beer
otherwise engaged that night or the!
may not have taken the mayors in
terest in the matter at par.
| But the incident is one of those tina
does lead US to thank God and thu
foresight of the service men in hav
ling formed themselves into an Amer
lean Legion. For in this instance, a
in others where outside agencies an'
1instrumentalities failed, the legiol
stepped in and got jobs for the un
employed. Where the employers di,
mot rally at the mayors call they di
heed the voice of numerically pow
erful local post. The incident, Will
1unimportant in itself, is one of man
that convinces us it is fortunate W
did not leave the processes of read
'iiustment and the operation of justic
and equity entirely to mere chance.

THE IRISH REPUBLIC

Il would be a good thing if every
Eody in the country could read the
following chunk of good sense from
the Times-Union. It is about what
we have been saying since the Sim
Fein started. it's campaign in this
country. The T.-U. says:
Reading the proceedings of the
House committee on foreign affairs
one would imagine that the city coun-
cil of Jacksonville had adjourned to
Washington and invited the public in
to tell it what TO do. The subject
was the proposition to recognize the
Republic of Ireland and those present
refrained from fisticuffs but enjoyed
themselves in all other ways.
We sympathize with the Irish and
would like to see them governing
themselves but we are not sympa.
thetic enough to fight for them. The
recognition Of the Republic of ireland
would be next thing to a war with
England. The recognition of tbs
Southern Confederacy by European
power would have been equivalent tx
declaration of war with the Unitec
States and Ireland has not the claim!
the Southern Confederacy had.
The Southern Confederacy was {
nation whether it was recognized Al
such, or, not. 1t had q, government
that exercised as undisputed power
over its territory. as any government
IL the world exercised. II was .consti
ttued under the forms of the law an,
even those who were -bitterest in op
position to it now acknowledge tina
when the Union was formed the mel
who formed it understood that tn
states had a right to withdraw from
it at will. Under the Confederat
government the laws were enforce,
as well as under any government OF
earth. But il England or France ha,
recognized its independence war wit
the United States would have follow
ed as war between France and Eng
land followed the recognition of Am
crican independence by France.

precedent we can recall. an acknowl

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1919-12-23

There need be no great worry over
the providing OF ballots for local option
liquor voting at the spring town meet
ings in Vermont; the state can go
through the for moi voting on the ques-
ton in spite of the fact that national
prohibition will be nj effect through
amendment to the constitution. That
would be better than to call special
session of the state legislature together
in order to repeal the state law calling
for the annual vote on license and to
transact the few other matters which
may need attention but which could go
over to the regular session OF the legis
lature. 1t is probable that the voters
of the state, bearing in mind the fulfil
ity of their vote one way or the other,
would pay little attention to the license
question and the vote, accordingly,
would be very light, The state could
well afford TO 90 through the compare
lively light expense OF preparing the
license ballots and other incidental ex
penses rather than to pay for special
session OF the Legislature.

were made when the cold of winter

CURRENT COMMENT
Japanese Colonies Grow.

Japanese immigration is going on at
such a rapid rate in Brazil that predic-
tons are being freely made to the eff
feet that if it continues at the same
rate it will in very few years assume
a political and economic Importance
that cannot fail to arrest the attention
of the country.
The chief center of activity thus far
has been in the state of Sac Paulo, IN
the valley of La Riviera, along the Sac
paulo Southern railroad 4 few years
ago a Japanese company purchased a
large tract of land near lgsape, where
they installed some Is families, allot-
ting 30 hectares to each family. Such
remarkable success attended these ef-
forts in colonization that the same com
pany has now purchased 10000 hee-
tares in La Riviera valley, with the in
tention of establishing some 1000 fam
lilies in that region.
The company is stated to be admir-
ably organized, with engineers, doctors
veterinaries and various industrial eX-
pcrts. 1t has already established to-
tai of $3.50 families which are proving
very successful in raising rice, sugar
tobacco, fruits and garden truck,
In the vicinity of Sac Paulo there
are said to be sl35 families, while q
large number of Japanese have beer
located in Santos, where they work al
dock hands. In this line they have re
ccived most cordial welcome, for they
are efficient workers. In fact 1t Ii
stated by shipping authorities that

AMERICA AS SHE MIGHT BE PIC
TURED.

The newspapers Of Europe could
paint the internal conditions Of the
United States in the most distressing
colors if they We're SO minded, OF
course, they would have to magnify the
conditions considerably in order to
make a really terrible picture, but they
could take the facts and blscken the
lines with few deft touches They
would first Of all, picture the United
States as camp arayed against it
self over the ratification of the Yer
sailes treaty, and, If they were evil
minded painters, they could portray
the United States as near civil war
over that same issue They could tell
CT the round up and deportation Of rad
icals and make out of the affair a con.
dition almost approaching a revolution,
providing, all the time they had no
computations as to how they twisted
and distorted the facts. They could
point to the return OF L. S. transport
with a number of the crew under re-
strRint because of attempted mutiny on
the high seas, and they might make Of
it a serious rebellion in the navy itself
They could take up the recent crime
wave in Chicago and picture it as a
triumph of Che depraved element all
through the nation They could give
some few statistics as to the mounting
cost of the necessities of life and tell OF
the efforts of the government to check
profiteering while the people walled and
approached the stage Of starvation. All
these things the European word paint
ers might seize upon and distort into
terrible conditions, making out the
United States as veritable seething
caldron of unrest and unhappiness. And
| European newspaper readers might read
the stuff and conclude that the state
ments were the real facts Yet, up to
| the present time, no European news
papers have been so degraded as to re-
sort to that thing, for they themselves
know, Of course, that the incidents
above referred to are but surface out
groupings and not at all indicative of
the deep current of life in the United
States Happily, we are not being
Judged by these few outcroppings.
