bc expected to absorb German inmagra
tion is urged. The German government
must, the expert argues, assist every
emigrant in selecting the destination for
which he is best fitted by makeup and
training. The foremost consideration
of a German emigration policy, however,
must be, according to DR.. Jung, the
necessity of "preservng the absentee
German for Germandom, of supporting
the German clement abroad in both a
material and moral way"
IN other words, the loss shall be
turned into gain. German emigration,
necessitated by economic ruin, shall be
made use of as an instrument of a peace
ful penetration. Which leads to the OBJ
vous truth that the emigration problem
Of Germany is an immigration problem
for other countries.

A First Kick
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Your editorial in this mornings
Tribune entitled The Kicker" has put cour-
age in the heart Of one who has been nurs-
ing very decided kick for some time. Per
haps through your editorial page I may find
place to register this one.
The first few days after my return from
France and while still in uniform. A very
attractive girl offered to sell me Liberty
Bond from her booth on Fifth Avenue. She
was so enthusiastic over the idea that lust
had to stop and explain that, not having
enjoyed any Increased pay" while in the
service. l was seriously considering selling
a bond Of an earlier issue in order to buv
some civilian clothes
few nights later while in the theatre
very charming actress spoke in behalf of the
Salvation Army and having actually seen
their work overseas l gladly gave all could
'ilord-only to be held up again in a few
days, this time while out in a machine. There
was nothing to DO but buy doughnut or
not pass; SO we bought doughnut.

There we're few traffic policemen in New

to sell at least two tickets for their ca,oos
not to mention their attempts between tho

A Crisis in Democracy
By Henry. L. Stimson
Secretary of War IN the Taft Cabinet

way we should revolt at the proposal To
use industrial force in the solution OF
political problems and should prepare to
resist it by every means in the land.
If the principle of using industrial
force in politics becomes recognized
political democracy is doomed.
Political democracy is based upon the
principle Of one man, one vote, and an
acquiescence in the vote Of the majority
when so taken. 1t necessarily assumes
that these votes will be guided by IN
telligent persuasion and discussion. by
reason and not force or threats When
force or threats are introduced the rule
of the majority ceases. A minority
whether armed with weapons, or armed
with money, or armed by industrial or
ganizaton, cannot be allowed to usurp
the place Of majority created by IN
tclligent discussion.
| do not for moment oppose CT seek
to prevent the use Of strikes in indus
trial controversies when based on just
grievances. On the contrary, / recog-
nze the strike as the most effective
weapon now in the hands Of the work
ingman for bettering his industrial con-
dit;on. Unfortunately, the settlement Of
industrial controversies still remains IN
condition which resembles modified
warfare, however much our laws seek to
exclude physical violence. That is the
penalty of our failure to solve the prob
lem of industrial democracy which |
mentioned above But the use of the
strike within the sphere of industrial
contests must not be allowed to cross
over into the other sphere of political
contests. Instead Of extending it into
the sphere Of government we should
bend all our efforts so to solve the
problems of industrial controversies that
strikes will no longer be necessary, even
in the industrial world, and we shall
reach a condition even there where con-
troverses can be settled without force
and by reason.
In other words, we must go forward
instead of backward.
When our railroad men propose to use
the strike for a political end they are
going backward. They are taking the
same position the I. w. W did in Seattle
against Mayor Hanson, and the strikers
of Winnipeg did against the citizens Of
that city.
When that issue is raised there IS
nothing for the civil community to do but
to meet it with every resource in its
power.
Any failure so to meet it means the
ultimate end Of the principles of
democracy HENRY L. STIMSON.

The Glorious I'd Division

New York saw professional soldiers
on Fifth Avenue yesterday, where citi-
zen soldiers have lately marched. Per-
haps any one knowing the fact and
lseenly sensitive to the niceties of mill
tary bearing might have sensed the df-
ference But to the casual, cheering
crowds that throngcd the highway to do
honor to the heroes Of Bcileau Wood, of
Chateau Thiery, OF the Meusc, there
was no contrast. These bronzed, swing
ing youths were Americans who had
fought and bled for their country. They
had, by reason Of their training, formed
the spearhead of our thrust at Germany.
They had suffered in killed and wounded
beyond any ether division in our forces.
And they were home with every honor
and gld&y Of brave deeds unsurpassed.
They were one with our entire fighting
force, patriots all, whatever their enlist
nent.
It was good that this line was shown
upon the street which has seen so many
brave columns. There are other divisions
not less notable. Would that all could be
equally honored! The country will not
quickly forget what these men have
done. Let Us hope that the authorities
VIII not omit any opportunity for such
scenes as Yesterdays. There cannot be
too many Of them.
The lesson should be clear and lasting.
Greatly as the nation loathes war, we
know that we cannot, in human probabil-
ity, escape it. We know that the easy
dreamers of perpetual peace OUTRAGED
the facts Of human nature by many
years. We shall need our armies, pro-
fcss.onal and volunteer. We shall hope
to make all Of them as worth while, as
democratic, as human, as possible But
we cannot hope to surpass in valor or
patriotism The men OF cur regular forces
who fought in the Great Var 70 speak
of such men as "murderdrs" is an out
rageous insult and stupid lie We
have seen and we know. May we be
worthy Of their bravery, their devotion,
their sacridcei

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
0IR: 1t is impossible to exaggerate
the Importance of the crisis which
~ is presented by the demand of the
railway brotherhoods. But in facing 1T
we must carefully distinguish the plan
which they propose on the one hand from
the methods by which they threaten to
force through that plan on the other.
The railroad situation of the country
presents a problem which must be
solved and solved in a courageous and
progressive manner.
The present situation is chaotic.
For many years before the war made
it acute, this problem had been growing.
Our governmental division between Fed
eral and state control of railroads, our
imperfect measures Of rate regulation,
our imperfect systems of property, pub
lie and employe representation all re-
uuire constructive and radical treatment.
Furthermore, fair-minded Americans
must recognize that our country has not
yet solved the still broader problem of
industrial democracy. In the solution of
that problem we have Jagged far be-
hind our progress in political democracy.
In the pressure of events placed upon
US by the close of the Great War we
must resolutely grid ourselves to make
vigorous progress in it's solution lest
otherwise we be engulfed by the forces
of discomfort and anarchy.
Therefore the plan which the rail-
road men of this country propose is en-
titled to the most careful and respect
full consideration. They are entitled to
urge it by discussion, by the force Of the
ballot and in all the ways recognized as
necessary and proper for the solution
of problems of government in a political
democracy.
But there runs the line of limitation.
When they threaten to force through
their plan by strike which will tie up
our railway system they transgress the
line of political democracy.
They seek to obtain political ends by
force
Their proposal is not different in kind
from proposal by capitalist to force
his plan through by the use Of his capt
tai in purchasing votes or purchasing
legislators. We jail such a capitalist
for bribery.
Their proposal is not different in
principle from proposal by a success
fu general to use his military army to
force through a measure of government.
Both are utterly repugnant to the prln-
ciples upon which our political democ-
racy rests.
Every American instinctively revolts
at the thought of the use Of force by a
soldier in civil government. In the same
New-York tribune., 1919-08-09
The Public as Master

The letter Of the President to Director
General Hines, while it merely postponcs
difficult questions and settles nothing, IS
admirable in tone and content, and goes
as far in the right direction as now
seems feasible.
It is obvious that peace negotiations
cannot be carried on while hostllities are
in progress. So an armistice is demanded
as the first thing. The railroad shop
men are asked to return to work while
the processes Of adjudication are car
ried on, and are bluntly informed that
until they DO there can be no considera~
ton OF the questions in controversy. The
President thus plants his feet firmly on
the principle he held to during the war
