PEACE OF THE WORLD
MADE SECURE AT LAST

The terms OF peace formulated by the allies leave to Ger
many only a stigma and ink enough to sign the death warrant
to all future ambition for world dominion.
The measure Of justice to which Germany is entitled cannot
be based upon an assumption of what Germany would have re-
quired at the hands of the allied nations had the fortunes of war
been reversed. The difference between humanity and inhunanity,
the difference between German militarism and civilization, the
difference between German ambition for conquest and the world
desire for permanent peace, must be taken into account.
Germany assumed the responsibility for the war and Ger
many must bear the burden OF its consequences.
The terms seem h%ard-they are hard, wel-nigh impossible to
fulfill. They are based upon the limit of German finance, of Ger
man resource and the physical ability of the Germans to meet
them. Mercy. we are taught, is for them that show mercy.
Just as the term for the Germans cannot be arrived at on
a basis of what the Germans might have required OF the allies,
likewise the allies gould not temporize with the Germans or miti-
gate the penalty because of a professed change Of heart and a
Reputation Of its former ideals or a remuneration OF its former am
billions. The terms are based upon an in1eXible justice 'swayed
neither by hatred nor by sympathy, a justice merted by the evil
dence and sustained by the record, and one that will be vlndt
Gated by history.

The peace conference has decided that the ex-kaiser shall

ence in law, and no punishment was ever fixed for it; but the
great conference being a law unto itself may dispose of this
c1ulprit as it pleases, and from its findings there is no appeal
AS a matter of fact the war lord has already been tried and con-
victed. Long ago was he hailed irto the court of public con-
science. The jury was c%mpanelcd, consisting of the citizens of
the civilized world. The testimony has been heard and the
arguments made, and the great jury has brought in a verdict
finding him guilty of crimes so high and infamous that no name
has been found Tor them. His punishment should be fixed and
speedily inflicted.
The one redeeming feature of the Indictment weather was
that we heard a lot about the transatlantic flight, which ended
when it cleared off.
Everyone should rest in peace; the war debt will be retired
in Is years, and then we may return to our extravagances and
