The Undeportable

"Deport us to Russia; there we shall
be free" So read banner displayed in
Washington Square on Wednesday.
If only the declaration were sincere.
Or, better still, if only the carriers of
the banner would deport themselves.
But no. they will not. When an at
tempt is made to move them out they
run screaming to Dudley Field Malone
or some other legal friend for the pro-
lection of American law.
Russia seems the last country in the
world to which our Bolshevists of Rus
sian birth wish to go. Those who see a
chance to put on the gold lace of
Trotzky or Shatoff and to become a Boil
shevist commissary are ready perhaps
to start, but the rank and file, which
know what sort of freedom and feeding
Russia now affords, prefer, much prefer,
to remain in this dreadful country.
They are not ignorant of what sort Of
millennium Lenine has established, and
they would not partake of its blessings.
For two years the Bolshevists have
been in undisturbed possession of CEN
trail Russia. Surely time enough for
good fruits to begin to show. But into
deeper and deeper misery fall the Rus
sian people-not the bourgeoisie, for
they perished long ago, but the poor
Russian proletariat. In radical publ
cations pretence is kept up that con-
dtions in Russia are misrepresented.
But American residents Of Russian
birth, whatever their words, display by
their acts that they realize there is no
misrepresentation.
And quite as little desirous of immi
grafton to Russia are Bolshevist sympa
thizers Of American citizenship. En-
forced transportation to Russia would
be deemed as cruel and abominable as
transportation to Siberia was regarded
in the blackest Gar days.

artificial A majority in the council has
shown a disposition to antagonize the
whole Italian people over a matter Of
trihing Importance except to Italy. 1t
is deplorable that the Fiume deadlock aas
been allowed to become so threatening
that now there is talk Of forcing Italy
out of the alliance and out Of the con
ference merely because she protests
against a decision which is as yet un-

A German Labor Plan

of Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
Washington. Commercial Attache Paul Ed
wards, stationed at The Hague, tells Of a
proposed industrial council law which has
been aid before the German National As
scmblv at Weimar According to the terms
of the law, industrial councils represent
ing EMPLOYEES are to be established in all
concerns employing more than twenty men.
These councils viii confer with the owners
on all subjects affecting the employees I'm
der the term "entcrprisc" the measure
braces all public and private commercial
ventures, including farms inland and
high-sca shipping concerns are excepted
and will be covered in separate bill. The
law is the first step toward the realiza
ton of the employees council system, which
is being strongly advocated by power
ful contingent Of the German legislature.
Features of the propo ed law are:
l. Employers are obliged to communicate
to the industrial council of their enter
prise each proposal to suspend or dis
charge employees if the requires con-
fdential handling for some reason the en-
ployers make the communication to the in
dustral council in a specified manner.
2. If the industrial council believes that
important interests of the enterprise will
be injured by the discharge of the cm-
ploye in question it may protest against
the proposed Dismissal. 1t is expressly

Our One reinforcement

And it has thrown, it seems to me,
responsibility on the United States We
stand ont to-day not only the first
nation in wealth, as the first nation left
in power in the world, the first nation in
the great natural material resources, but
we also stand as the standard bearer Of
civilizations The world looks to US and
Will continue to look to us for holding up
civilization and for advancing it.
Hitherto, gentlemen, we have not CON
trbuted our share to the advancement Of
thought of the world, and for very good
reason we have not done it. We have done
another feat; we have accomplished a feat
unparaleled in history. IN the course Of
Il hundred years have subdued whole
continent, a continent inhabited only by
people uncivilized. We have covered the
whole Of that continent with a network
OF railroads; we have eXplotod its mines,
we have covered it with flourshing towns.
we have filled it with the hum Of industry;
and that is enough for any population to
have done in 4 hundred years. But we
have not contributed to advance the
thought of the world to the extent that
we ought to have done it; but 1t is for us
to do it in the future

7 dnished Carthage

There were two nations of antiquity
which | like more or less to compare Each
Of them in its turn had all the commerce
of the Mediterranean in its hand; they were
great rich, commercial people. One OF them
fell under the stroke Of Rome, to wit. Car
tharc. And what has Carthage left, except
the Roman accounts Of her brave and IN
many cases glorious battles? But, what else
has she left to enrich mankind! DO you
know anything she has left? Has she left
any literature. any science, any anything
which tended to the uplifting and the prog
ress of the world? Nothing whatever. 1t is
yone Why? Because Rome destroyed her
Oh, no; if she had done anything that was
really worth doing in the world, except
amassing trade we should have known it;
because the other country was equally over
whemed by Rome and that Athens, and
vet Athens has left richer legacy to the
world than any other people Of her size
has ever left since the world began. Rome
conquered her. but her civilization conquered
Rome. No one of US in this room to-day
can think apart from the thoughts of Plato
and Aristotlc We would never have had
the literature. the art, and all the things
that adorn modern civilization, had it not
been for Greece.
Now, the choice is before US to-day; shall
we be merely commercial people? Shall we
be merely like the Carthage of the modern
age? Or do we aspire to be a Greece of
the modern age? 1t lies with you, gentle
men; it lies with the people Of the United
States They can decide at any time. We

The METROPOLITAN Musuem

it is a common and not unnatural
sumption that when some wealthy
''tizen gives or bequeaths a large sum
/ money TO the Metropolitan Museum
nat institution is left more than ever
on velvet As matter of fact it is
slways in want of administrative funds,
md it is earnestly to be hoped that the
hoard of Estimate will grant the appro-
rriation for the year 1920 which is now
.p for discussion. The reason for the
'ontrast between the museums seem
ngly huge resources and the sore need
Z nevertheless has for more money, if
is service to the public is to b ade-
1uately rendered, is simple enough. The
donations aforesaid are designated by
he donors for the purchase of works
Of art, not for the payment of labor
and it takes a lot of labor TO keep the
great building in Central Park function
ing in the proper manner. When
collector leaves his masterpieces to the
museum he automatically imposes

and a self-contro which remarkable.
That is what our colleges are doing at the
present day.
Now. do our people care to continue
those institutions? If they do, there is
one way in which it can be done, and that
is for the public to come forward and say
that they are ready to support those in
stitutions, and that they are ready to sup
port them to the fullest possible extent.
We need to bring our youth up to the
highest point of development to which it can
be brought. We need to contribute to
human knowledge and to thought, not only
in all industries, but in every way that
leads toward civilization. and we need to
train the rising generation to do that in
the future.

remember early in this War, before
we got into it, and while the horrors were
still fresh in our minds, and before the
martial desire had to some extent replaced
the sense OF pure sympathy, that I used
to think in those early days Of the battle
fields on the Marne, in Flanders, and think
of the faces turned up TO the moon, with
sghtess eyes-thousands and thousands
of young men, and wonder who was dead
among those young men, whether there
was among them any man who would
have been future Pasteur, any man per-
haps who would have been future, but
was a mute, inglorious Milton; any man
who would have contributed greatly to the
advance of human knowledge and the re-
lief of human suffering, to the elevation
of the human soul. We do not know who
lie dead on those fields, we do not know
who are buried underneath those wooden
crosses. We do not know who it is above
whom the poppies are Towering to-day;
but we do know that among those young
who have died, among the French and
among the English-who have lost vastly
more men than we have-we know per
fectly we'll that among those men are many
who would have contributed greatly to the
advance of the human race and the prog
ress Of civilization. We know very well
that large portion of the most promising
youth of western Europe have been de-
stroycd. cut off in their prime, and we
know that many more have been incapac-
tuted for future work by the loss of their
eyes or loss of their limbs, and the CON
sequent loss Of their health. which Will
prevent them ever exerting the natural
powers that they would otherwise have had.

believe brains equal in natural capacity to
those Of any country in Europe. Shall we
develop them for the cause of civilization?
Shall we be great people in the sense in
which Athens was a great people? Or, shall
we be q great people only in the sense IT
which Carthage was q great people? Do We
care?
The one thing that has existed in all
times, that has proved itself stronger than
kingdoms, that has proved itself stronger
than political institutions, stronger than any
thing else, has been universities. The
University of Paris has seen the Fronde at
her doors, the overthrow OF the French
monarchy in the Revolution but with all
the changes that took place in the nine
teenth century, the pendulum swing to
and fro from one kind of government to
another, the University of Paris has
lived through them all, and come out
stronger. The universities OF Oxford and
Cambridge have lived through the Wars of
the Roses, the time of Cromwell, and the
Commonwealth, through the Restoration,
through the gradual change of England
from monarchy to an aristocracy, and from
an aristocracy to q democracy, and those uni
versties have continued to hold the lamp of
learning alight and passed along.
