THE RUSSIANS BITTER LESSON

Perhaps if the BOlshevks are allowed to carry on the
curse will cure itself. and that more speedily than it can be
cured bv the efforts of the allied nations. If the Bolsheviks
have their own way industries will be paralyzed and farming
oierations will be reduced to chaos. They are not fellows
who want to work. They are rather men who expect to live
on loot. and they imagine that the rich and the bourgeOlse
have enough stored away to make them all well-to-do, and
that indefinitely. Under their sway the country would soon
be reduced to the point of universal starvation, and when a
few millions more are dead the rest may be restored to sanity.
Such a government as they have set up is in the nature
of things impossible. for it is not founded on industry or
thrift but i'm loot and waste. and these soon run their course.
1t is a hopeless task, it seems, to bring them to their senses
except by the hard paths of starvation and suffering. For
others to pour food into them will be to encourage them in
their madness. 1t may be hard to leave them to their own
devices and to perish of their own folies, but it is no worse
than going i'm and shooting them down by the wholesale =
and it is easier on us, for while we are shooting them we
will have some of our boys shot.

THE WORLD PEACE

The plae of the Paris peace congress for a league IL "a
tons, or a society of nations" as it has more recenu! zen
named, has at last been given to the world through the pun
LEGATION of the draft presented yesterday. The synopsis d
received by the Tribune is insufficient in its detail to afford
a just estimate of the obligations imposed on the United
States or the other four nations that would be joined WIZ
us in the covenant to preserve the peace of the world.
There is at least one condition, as implied In the
epitomized draft. TO which many Americans will object, and
that is the condition that every nation becoming a party 10
the league shall have one vote and no nation shall have more.
If this be correctly reported then the five turbulent Balkan
states that have kept the wOrld-that part of the world call
ed Europe-in a sea of turmoil and maze of intrigue, plots
and counter plots for two generations-these five states will
have the same voting power as the United States, England,
France, Italy and Japan. And coming nearer home, the seven
so-called republics lying between our Mexican Dorder anu
the Panama canal will, should they be admitted, have a voice
seven times as loud as that of the nation that has, through
the years now gone, made their Independent existence pos
sible.
We believe the American people are thoroughly In &C
cord i'm their desire for a league of free nations that VIII
make forever impossible a recurrence of the horrors that
followed the Huns dream of world Nominations; that VIII
make forever impossible and unnecessary any further resort
to arms by any nation. But international leagues and
agreements are not always enduring. The record tells us
they are but short lived indeed compared with national or
racial traits. We see in the Briton of today the character
istics that survived the conquest of William of Normandy
nine hundred years ago and kept Britain British. We have seen
in Germany through all these four years OF bloody horror The
traits of those barbarous hordes that invaded Rome and those
other legions that followed AtGla in his murderous raids.
And so let us not forget that wars have followed leagues
of nations before; that the Holy Alliance was formed and re
formed and finally dissolved; that league after league and al
lance after alliance have been formed and dissolved since
George Washington cautioned us against meddling in the
politics of Europe and since the Monroe Doctrine was gwen
us as the surest protection against war in that part OF the
world in which we most desire peace.
God speed the peace congress and President Wilson In
every aspiration for everlasting peace, but may God also
guide the senate of the United States in it's deliberations
when the final program comes before it for approval.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1919-02-22

We believe that the following, from the Chicago Tribune,
expresses what nine tenths of the Americans feel inwardly.
what two thirds of them believe and what a majority at least
are slowly, if silently committing themselves to:
The trusteeship of Europe lies in the hands of the Euro
pean powers, just as the trusteeship of America lies in the y
hands Of the United States. There will be a league of a
lions. But the United States senate must see to it that we do
not lose national safeguards in a scheme of International
ism. We may be alleged t o have some duties in Europe, but
we doubt if these duties approach in importance the work e
have to do here in the United States This country will look
to the senate to approve n O treaty that deprives us of national
safeguards or reaxes the trusteeship WI hold the western
hemisphere or projects us into the purely local affairs of new
nations.
With all our good intentions and with all our concern
about the welfare of others, there are some things that we
make everyone happy, keep everyone from fighting and see
that everyone is properly fed and clothed. 1t will be a COM
|paratively easy thing to take on wards. There are millions
of human beings who might be willing to let us establish
over them some kind of a paramOuntcy, If from time to time
we will take ship loads of provisions over to them and now
and then lend them a few mllions-and we can always get
the money here by selling bonds.
But we are of those who can still bark back to the scrip
tural Injunction to look after our own household first, and
most of the other peoples will be ultimately better off if
they are permitted to look after their own households, and
that in their own ways. The old kaisers used to think that
they had to provide for everyone. in Germany, do their
thinking for them and so on, and we have had a recent il
lustration of how such policies may miscarry. Uncle Sam
does not want to be transformed into a Don QuXOte who
butts into the affairs of every nation. He wants to remain
a respectable fellow who attends to his own business and
who keeps his boys at home and looks after them here.
And this is not politics; it is simply common sense, and
if there is anything we need nowadays it is more of that
kind of sense, the sense that Abraham Lincoln would have
called horse sense.

ALL WANT ANOTHER CHANGE

The American Fruit and Vegetable Shippers have joined
the Iowa Meat Producers in demanding that the railroads shall
be returned to private ownership, not after five years of ex-
permentng, nor even after twenty-one months, but right now
and that Immediately. Private ownership, enterprise and mi
tative and responsibility are much desired by them for the
public operation has upset all shipping plans as well as
greatly increased the costs. The movement threatens to be-
come somewhat universal.
But whoever dreamed that a lot of politicians could man
age so intricate a business as the American transportation
system? There is no delusion that is greater than that a
man becomes endowed with abilities or even common sense
by the mere fact that he is elected to some office.
