sticks his head out of the other hole and
laughs. Then, when the irritated Fido
races to new attack there, the laugh is
heard from the other door. It. takes a
double and synchronous onslaught to
dlsconcert the weather prophet Of the
fields, and so it is necessary to tie up
Senator Swanson as he switches from
the claim that the reservations are vital
to the one that they amount to nothing.
But in one respect the Swanson speech
is welcome. 1t seems to mark the first
attempt to defend the criticised parts of
the covenant by something better than
merely oracular and irrelevant general
statements, and thus it is firstlng, al
though tiny one, of the new dispensa
tion which suspends the rule to sit tight
and say nothing.

He aIthmL HATING

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The celebrated Mr.. Creel, ex-publicty
manager at Washington, now a column Cor
page conductor in "LesIies Weekly" has
stumbled onto a mares nest He thinks he
has discovered that the American people are
in danger of being "Prussianized by over
indulgence in the passion of hate against
Germans" and sounds the note Of warning
in the aforesaid column or page. He ex-
pounds the psychology of the subject with
impressive display of learning, arguing
at great length to prove that if Americans
don't stop hating Huns with such intensity
they are in danger of becoming Huns them
selves
pro-German propaganda; but as we don't
know Mr.. Creel's record very we'll, we will
give him the benefit of the doubt and
sumo that his anxiety about the dcteriorat-
ing effect of Hun hatred our national
character is genuine.
1t is true that Americans have a very
hearty and wholesome hatred of the peculiar
methods practised by the Germans in con-
ducting their side of the recent world war,
and that it will be long time before they
cease to regard the whole German nation
I speak of the Kaser's subjects, not good,
loyal American citizens of German extrac-
tion) with the abhorrence and detestation
that such deeds naturally inspire, certainly
not before that nation has shown some signs
of repentance, of which at present there is
not the least indication.
But that feeling, far from deserving repro
baton, is sign Of moral health-the natural
reaction of a humane mind to such spectacles
of brutality and cruelty the German con-
duct of the Afforded
1t is the opposite way of viewing these
outragcs-that of indifference to deeds OF
savage cruelty (if they happen at distance),
willingness to forget or condone them (if
they don't affect us), and in general n cold
neutrality between right and wrong, justice
and injustice (when our interests are not at
stake that might we'll inspire US with the
fear that our national character had de-
generated.
The famous DR.. Johnson once described a
man as good hatcr," intending thereby no
moral ccnsure of him, but rather the op-
positc. # he were alive to-day he would
probably have q poor opinion of those who
don't hate, with righteous and lasting
hatred, the murdercrs OF Edith Cavcll and
Captain Fryatt, tho perpetrators OF the Lusi-
tania crime and the responsible authors Of
tho whole series Of deliberately planned
atrocities and crueltics that characterized the
German conduct of tho war; and who as
sumo airs of superiority because of their
Willingness to forget or condone such
crimes.
He would probably say that 1t is natural
and commendablc to hate what is hateful
New-York tribune., 1919-07-16

and to reprobate unrepentant criminals and
scoundrels and malefactors of every kind and
degree. Mr.. Creel would acquire no merit
in his eyes by his professed willingness to
throw the mantle of charity and forgetful-
ness over such offenders, especially as there
is every reason to believe, that, if oppor-
tunity were given, the offences would be re-
peated tomorrow with added rcfinements of
cruelty and atrocity.
Not being misled or confused by the over
refnements of modern applied psychology,
he would pronounce the common sense judg-
ment, that it is perfectly possible to hate
a Hun without becoming one.
There are, of course, such things as ex-
cessivc, msdrected hate: hate growing out
of wounded vanity, petty spite, or morbid
brooding over real fanced INJURIES hate
such that deliberately manufactured by
the German rulers and officials to get the
German masses in the proper ugly, murderous
frame of mind to carry out with fanatical
zest and enthusiasm the German campaign
OF frightfuness; but Americans are about as
likely to become the victims of such an OBJ
session as they to discard Christianity
and embrace the negro cult of Voodism

Turkeys bad Men"

Turkey isn't trying to shield her
greatest war criminals. A court martial
in Constantinople the other day SEN
fenced to death Enver Pacha, Talaat
Bey and Djemal Pacha, the Young Turk
triumvirs, who terrorized Constantinople
in 1914 and forced Turkey into war with
the Entente. They ignored the Sultan
and his Grand Vizier, who were both
rather anti-Teuton in sympathies. They
controlled the army and the Parliament
They also had the Goeben anchored in
the Bosporus, with its guns trained on
the capital.
These three men were the final prod
ucts Of the fanaticism and corruption
which masqueraded under the liberal
professions OF the Young Turk revolu-
ton. They were more despotic than the
old Sultan Abdul Hamid, whom they de-
posed, ever dared to be. And they were
more inhuman. All the earlier massacres
Of Turkeys Christian subjects were
thrown in the shadow by the Armenian
and Syrian massacres which Enver,
Talaat and Djemal instigated.
Enver was the most melodramatic of the
three. He was an expert revolver shot.
He acquired the reputation Of a sort of
bad man" of the Wild West movies
and revelled in it. He always carried
his pistol and was ready to draw it on
occasion to enforce the point Of an ar
gument He is said to have shot down
some Of Abdul Hamid's palace staff
when the latter was forced to abdicate.
Talaat was shrewder and meaner, with
less physical courage. He was the hyena
of the dictatorate. Djemal was trucu-
lent and hasd to handle. His two asso-
ciates were glad to get him out of Con-
stantinople, in 1915, by giving him COM
mand of the expedition against Eyypt.
He was Minister Of Naval Affairs at
that time, but confident that he would
make great general. That confidence
was misplaced. He failed in Syria, but
was allowed to remain there Wangcn-
helm and Won der Goltz were just as
anxious as Enver and Talaat to keep
him at safe distance from the Golden
Horn.
The alliance with Germany was bad
bargain for Turkey. The Young Turk
inner circle grew rich out Of it. But the
people suffered AMI the Turkish armies
we're left, after the middle Of 1917, to
fight alone against superior numbers In

The Strange Case of Ford

On the witness stand in his libel suit
Henry Ford said yesterday that pre-
paredness for defence is legitimate, but
that overpreparedness is wicked; that it
is permissible to wage war in behalf of
the weak or against aggression, but that
a professional soldier is a murderer;
that in 1915 he was opposed to any pre-
paredness whatsoever, but that it was
right for him to take war contracts;
that if this country will disarm, others
will follow, yet that there can be no dis
armament unless all disarm.
1t is possible the views Of Mr.. Ford
have been taken too seriously. When
there is such a bowling, soughing
wilderness where most carry their
brains and an ego wanders about in the
trackless and jun1bled jungle, can it be
said he thinks at all? A man may be
able to acquire an income of $50,000,000
year, but this does not imply, it would
seem, capacity for general cerebration.
Mr.. Ford sets aside as Of no consequence
the rule Of logic that two contradictions
cannot both be true. He believes them
both. It is a weakness other men have
been known to display, but never in such
a shining and complete way.
An ignorant idealist" he was called
by The Chicago Tribune, but the phrase
is inept. Something deeper than igno-
rance is revealed-a mental color blind
ness that leads him to hold, for example,
that Pershing and the boys in khaki are
murderers, yet in the next breath to say
that it is necessary to have men pre-
pared to fight.
New-York tribune., 1919-07-16
CIinping to a Myth

Bishop Williams of the Protestant
Episcopal Diocese of Detroit is seeming
ly the victim of delusion that it was
thought by this time was generally
eliminated. He harks back to the ex-
ploded idea that opposition to the cove
nant implies opposition to organized
peace and to entry into a league Of ma
tions by this country This was a crude
Misrepresentation put in circulation last
spring, but was supposed to be practi-
cally extinct.
Recent polls of the Senate indicate
that not to exceed six Senators are op-
posed to a league of nations. An
overwhelming majority favors ratifica-
ton of the covenant, provided it is con-
strued so as not to commit this country
to become an unwilling war wager and
not to violate the national sovereignty
which is necessary for us to have if we
would do. anything for peace or anything
else. Bishop Williams is obviously out
of touch with the course of the debate.
The covenant is criticised for it's am
Observation-Disclosures ClldC can Dc re-
moved by adequate reservation. 1t is
also criticised because, lacking power,
it promises to provide no effective pro
lection to the nations which the Bishop
says will be mice surrounded by cats;
but to secure protection for the mice
would require reconstruction of the
whole instrument such as it is now i'm
possible to secure. The only strength
ening thing in sight is the alliance with
Great Britain and France, but Bishop
Williams is not enough interested in
this to mention it.
Whether the covenant as it now is is
war maker OF q peace maker, no one
who values, candor will venture to say.
The arguments are rather evenly bal
anced. But it is clear that the good
meagre as it lis, can be saved without
swallowing the accompanying evil. To
hold that td discriminate between good
and evil indicates hostility to a league
Of peace is an invention which bears
all the signs Of partisan origin.

Capitalist Technique

tfrom The One Big Inion Monthly r. " WD
The capitalist class and their govern
ment arc not telling the people what they
really are doing. They are instead anus
ing the rabble with cock and bull storlcs
of things that are of little Importance. To
use an illustrations: If you should acci-
dentally drop IN on a gathering presided
over by Morgan or Vanderlip or Rookie
feller, they would Immediately stop dis
cussing the question in hand and turn to
the discussion of yachting and golfng or
something of that kind II you 70 away
with the impression that "there is nothing
doing" you simply show that you are
foolish. AS soon as you are safely out
side the door these gentlemen will take up
the thread OF discussing the items of the
peace treaty that they got in advance of
Congress. They will go through it point
by point to see how their bond affairs
should be adjusted to make the biggest
profit before the sheep are let in to be
shorn.
New-York tribune., 1919-07-16
Open Trade With Germany

Except with respect to the export of
wheat and the import of a few articles.
trade with Germany is now open. The
device Of giving free hand to trade
to all ends the war so far as CONNER
cial relations are concerned. The Fall
resolution sleeps in a pigeonhole, but
that which the Fall resolution sought,
and which it was said could not be done,
is done.
AS usual, contradictory reports come
from Germany. One set says that the
factories have begun to show smoke
from their chimneys, and that, despite
all talk of strikes and disturbances, the
German people generally manifest
most commendable disposition to go to
work. The rest of Europe is indulging
in the luxury of working one day and
quitting the next, thus wasting economic
energy and deferring reconstruction,
while Germany, it is said, is showing bet
ter sense, realizing that the only road to
happier days is through hard work. If
Germany thus more clearly sees that
quackery, political or economic, will not
put clothes on backs or food in stom-
achs, no one has right to complain.
Germany has advantages she will
doubtless make the most of. Demobiliza-
ton came to her first. Her machinery
is rusted, and the change from war work
to peace work is as difficult there as
elsewhere; but her establishments have
not been damaged. Germany failed in
the war game, but in the great and
legitimate peace game, which consists in
doing piece of work more cheaply than
another, she is a formidable rival A
large part of German export trade is
gone, perhaps forever, but if there is
proper will a man can generally find
something at which to busy himself.
The -Bolshevism of some coun-
tries, not to speak of the complete Boil
80 shevism of others, gives Germany
great opportunity. If her people work
while other people listen to agitators
who apparently delight in stirring up
trouble for everybody, consequences to
Germany's advantage are inevitable.
They can't be stopped, and it does not
appear that they should be stopped, even
though there is power so to do.

Guaranteeing France
By Frank H. Simonds

IKE the league of nations the treaty
guaranteeing France against any
new German aggression enters at
once into the domestic political contro-
versy, yet it is essential that the Ameri-
can public should at least know the cir
cumstances which surround its inception
and development. AS to the French need
of such guarantee, the fact that France
hAs four times been invaded by German
a. mics in the last hundred years is the
best evidence.
Now what actually happened at Paris
during the peace conference was this
Marshal Foch, speaking with an authority
not to be questioned anywhere, speaking
a soldier as we'll as a Frenchman de-
clared that France could not be safe
against German invasion unless the mill
tary frontier Of the republic was at the
Rhine. There, and only there, was bar
rier which in French hands would insure
both France and Belgium against a repet-
tion of the events of August, 1914.
The Greatest LiUing Soldier
To this expert opinion President Wilson
took exception. French military occupa-
tiCH VI luc lclC Udilh Ol tuc NnlnC was IN
consistent with his fourteen points In
this contention the President was sup
ported by Lloyd George. Britain and the
United States, safe from all chance of
German invasion, separated by sea from
Germany anu doubly insured by the elm
nation Of the German fleet, vetoed the
decision Of the greatest living soldier and
refused to France her natural frontier.
The French then asked that some sort
Of supervision Of German military estab-
lishment be provided for in the league
of nations, and that there should be in
cluded in the league of nations covenant
some provision that in case Of German
aggression against France all the nations
in the league should automatically declare
war against Germany Again Mr.. Wilson
objected and found British support. Thus
the second logical line of French protection
was abolished. In both cases the sacrifice
of French interests was asked in the name
of Mr.. Wilson's league of nations.
AS consequence, France, in surrender
ing guarantees of her own choosing against
German attack, found herself obliged to
ask of the nations and statesmen who had
ancc against new German INVASION OBJ
viously, France alone could not defend
herself against Germany, if Germany were
able, without Allied supervision, to pre-
pare such an invasion and French armies
were not permitted to meet it at the
Rhine barrier
Why France Signed Treaty
The French demand, then, was for pre-
cisely the guarantee which Mr.. Wilson
and Lloyd George have furnished in the
tripartite agreement now under general
discussion. In effect America and Britain,
as represented in Paris, said to France:
"If you will resign your claim to your
natural military frontier we will pledge
respective countries to come to your
aid at once and to the limit Of our ability"
Without such a pledge France could not
have accepted the terms of peace as out
lined in the Versailles document. Had the
Clcmenceau Cabinet failed to obtain such
substitute for the conditions prescribed
by Foch and ndorsed by every soldier of
