New-York tribune., 1919-12-27

acknowledged the supremacy Of the
District Attorney and withdrawn
all aid to the grand jury. A more
complete retreat it would be hard to
conceive.
1t is possible that the grand jury
has already sufficient evidence upon
which to prefer charges. But we
conceive the probability to be that
it has not. In either case the
rule established is vicious one and
will go far to convince the citizens
of New York that they cannot look
to their Democratic Governor for a
sufficient investigation of their local
administrators. That thorough
going legislative inquiry will be
needed is becoming more and more
probable.
New-York tribune., 1919-12-27
The Peace at Dorpat

The Esthonian delegates at Dor
pat are said to have concluded an
arlnistice with the Soviet Russian
government. If they have come to
terms with Lenine the latter has
made the first definite breach in the
circle of enemies by which he has
been surrounded for the last four
teen months.
Germany's collapse in November,
1918, left Soviet Russia isolated and
trlendless. 1t released the Baltic
provlnces-Finland, Poland and
Lithuania-the Ukraine and Ruma-
MIA from d control which was, at
least specifically, not hostile to the
terroristic "Red" state. All these
peoples, pushed by self-interest and
also yielding to Allied pressure, took
up arms against the Moscow regime.
Bolshevism was a danger to them,
and IN warring against it they were
incidentally securing their eastern
borders and solidifying their nation
al existence
Lenlne was more concerned, how
ever, with Bolshevizing them than
with conquering them and bringing
them back within the Russian state
He cares little for old territorial
claims. His idea Of conquest is not
based on physical occupa ton, but on
the penetration everywhere of soviet
ideas. SO it will cost him few pangs
to recognize the independence Of the
western border provinces of Old
Russia. 1t is Denikine rather thar
he who constitutes the chief obstacle
to the final sloughng off of the states
temporarily severed from Russia BY
the treaty of Brest-Litovsk.
But if Esthonia draws out of the
anti-Lenine coalition the other bor
der states will be inclined to follow
suit. One link in the chain has
yielded, and with Allied supper
withdrawn from the war agains
sovietism the truce which ruled OF
the Russian western front in 1915
may be soon revived.
Lenine has cultivated his enemies
His patience is about to be reward
ed. The Entente has quit the battle
against him. Yet that battle helped
to splidify his support at home
With foreign pressure removed h,
may become more vulnerable thar
before to domestic pressure. H
outlasted the war. Can he outlas
the reactions of peace?
New-York tribune., 1919-12-27
The Submarine Liability

The question why the submarine
failed is the subject of searching in
ouiries, both official and unofficial, in
Germany, which now thinks the war
was lost by the submarine, that it's
employment brought in America and
alienated neutral sympathies and en-
ergized the Allies. But it is to be

to deplore is not that the submarine
was ruthless, but that it failed.

the Representative said anything of the
kind, but, if your correspondent correct
ly reported him. the said Representative
should at once be displaced from his
position as chairman of the House Naval
Affairs Committee for very obvious rea
sons. E. B. RENWICK.
