EARLY MORNING.

The Independent: Those who are
pessimisuc because of the anarchy
and confusion which prevails over 80
large portion of our planet should
reflect that the human race is in the
position of a tenant who has just
moved into q new house. OF course
the furniture Is a bit upset; the tea
kettle is on top of the monograph,
the dessert spoons have fallen behind
the bureau, the parlor chairs are still
in the moving van, and nobody can
find the tablecloths. Biologists tell
us that this earth Of ours has been
a habitable place for several million
years and will (barring accidents)
continue a pleasant home for several
million years to come. Our civiliza-
ton, on the other hand, Is a mere
thing of yesterday: no wonder 1t still
looks like a cross between a ship
wreck and an influenza epidemic.
AS recently as a hundred and fifty
wears ago every powerful state in
Europe was an absolute despotism,
except England, Holland and Sweden.
which were then corrupt oligarchies.
Democracy hid In holes in corners,
such as few Swiss cantons or back
woods colonies in America. Asia,
Africa and Australia were untouched
by European civilization, if we except
the influence OF few trading com
| panies. The steam engine was just
! making It's first bow to the world and
the stage coach was still the most
( rapid means of transportation. The
general condition of the people in the
most advanced countries was about
what 1t is today in central Russia or
lin Asia Minor; the countryside was
peopled with illiterate serfs subject
/ to frequent famines, the cities were
Ireeking slums without lighting or
sanitation. By present standards civil
frzation did not exist.
4 It is hard to realize that only In
the year 1919 did so obvious a
measure as league of nations be
come practical politics, and that at
mo time until that year did the map
Of central or eastern Europe CORE
spond at all to the map Of nation
!ality. But 1t is equally hard te
realize that Germany and Italy are
tonIy half a century old, that Japan
has been one OF the powers for only
two decades, that within the memory
laf living men. Africa was an almost
unknown continent and the western
half OF the United States virgin

TRUE TO THEIR TRADITIONS.

THE German Admiral Scheer reJolces ln tne
sinking of the surrendered German ships as Is
..true to the best traditions OF their navy.
And so it was 1t was an act OF treachery, %
perfidy. of breaking plghted word OF making
: scrap of paper of pledge This is quite true
TO the German traditions. All through the war
their fleet avoided fight by flight. They mace
war on passenger hospital and merchant snlps

The question that now arises IS how far Vhe
German people will be true to their traditions

saying that half the world does not
know how the other half lives: but
until the time of Columbus, half the
world did not even know where the
other half lived.
We have just finished looking
over our world home and are still

THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE PRESS.

More than twelve hundred daily, weekly and
monthly foreign language publications are IS
sued in this country exclusive of those printed
in the German language. For years the mass
of our citizenship paid little attention to this
press and comparatively little has been known
of what it has been offering its readers Dur
Eno. the war it was more closely watched and
presented problem. The Inter-racial Council,
AN organization made up Of prominent American
citizens of both sexes representing all sections
of the country, has turned earnest attention to
this press and is seeking to use 1t as an agent
in furthering it's projects of education and
Americanization Of alien residents. Through
hhis press, which the council has approached in
a friendly spirit, means of reaching each ra-
cial group in it's own language is sought and is
being found. The great difficulty has been the
almost absolute control of this press by racia
organizations whose sympathles were ahen t'

The council is taking measures to free the TOT
egn language press from any control that pre-
vents it's full allegiance to Amercanlsm. Inns
seems wise policy. This press, II made an
honest ally of the effort to make our Citizenship
loval and intelligent throughout, would be an
agent of great worth in accomplishing what IS
sought.
