att" Here is difficult question. France
and Great Britain are being criticised for
wanting to fulfill the obligations of the
treaty made with Italy when Italy enter
ed the war. 1t was necessary, and at the
time not illigitimate ON their part to
make pledges to Italy. It is natural for
Italy now to demand that these pledges
shall be kept. Nearly all the territory in
question has belonged to enemy powers.
The rest of it belonged to internationally
ed kingdom of Albania, which has gone in
to bankruptcy, or-in case of the Dode-
canesus- consisted of former Turkish
islands which Italy had occupied in 1910
and had held after the close of the Turco-
Italian war, under conditional title.
Greece has laid claim to these islands OIL
the ground that the population is largely
Greek. 1t is also urged that the fourteen
points act as repeater of all pre-existent
arrangements among the entente belliger-
ents. But the fourteen points did not de-
nonuce any existing conventions. They
simply provided that after the general
peace all covenants between nations
should be open and openly arrived at. 1t
is in no way clear that they have morally
or practically nullified the compacts
made by Great Britain and France with
Italy. ge, ~ w.. itnsN
Italy's bargains with the original en-
tente powers are being subjected to a
good deal Of contemptuous criticism. But
they stand on exactly the same basis as
Frances and Great Britain's. bargains
with each other, which have been gener-
ally accepted as justifiable. There should
be reason in these things. Greece, too,
has territorial claims which apparently
will be treated in generous measure. Bua
it cannot be forgotten that while Italy
was fighting on the side of the entente
the Greek government, so long as King
Constantine remained at the head of it,
was persistently serving the cause of
Germany.-New York Tribune.

RARE WE TO HAVE A NEW WORLD
WAR? s'
WAR?

The course Of events in Hungary is not
difficult to understand and is significant
of what may soon happen in Germany.
Hungary has been invaded on all from
tiers by the allies of the entente. On the
west by the Czecho Slovaks, on the north
by the Poles, on the east by the Rouman-
ians, and on the south by the Jugo Slavs.
At the same time although republican
government of all classes was set up in
place of the former monarchy, the fact
has brought no relaxation off the hostility
of the entente toward the Hungarians
who could foresee nothing but loss of pro-
perty and territory to their favored
neighbors and on top Of that a heavy in
demnity to be paid out of their impover-
ishment to their conquerers. In the do
mestic situation all conditions were such
as to blow the flame of social revolution.
There were large land holdings which the
people wanted to divide and the propa-
ganda Of bolshevisnl has saturated the

WHAT is THE TRUTH ABOUT
BOLSHEvIST RUSSIA?


And now the bolsheviki are virtually
masters of Ukrania!
Isn't is about time for us to find out
for ourselves what the bolshevism is and
amounts to in Russia Haven't we by this
time rather vigorous suspicion that our
news of that phenomenon has been and is
Hoctored for us-and certainly not for
our benefit, for it cannot benefit America
to be deceived?
When bolshevism first appeared in the
Russian situation we were told it was a
noisy minority which had no Influence
among the Russians. When Bolshevism
overthrow Kerensky we were told that it
would not hold power for any length of
time. AS time passed and bolshevism did
not disappear, we were told it was the
dictatorship of few who were imposing
their ambitious will by force. We were
told that the mass of the Russian people
were not bolshevist. We were told they
would rise to welcome foreign aid and
overthrow the tyranny which the boil
shevist handful was so inysteriously able
to impose upon them. We were told that
the allied troops were winning victories.
They were strange victories which left
the victors numerous versts farther away
from their objective than before, strange
victories in which the red troops suffered
appalling losses while the allied forces
lost few, but were able to retire with part
of their own supplies, while furnishing the
enemy by burning the remainder. Always
the red armies are, or are about ITO be-,
crushed land now after months Of almost
constant defeats we read that they are
virtual monsters of Ukrania, that they
have an army of half or three-quarters of
million men, differed by trained sol
dies of the former German and Russian
armies.
AT the same time representative in
America of the Soviet government offers
on its behalf to deposit $200000,000 in
gold in American and European banks for
the purchase Of supplies and asks our gov
eminent ito reestablish normal relations
between the two countries"
! These are certainly not the accents of
failure, weakness and despair. Lenine
and Trotzky have been in power year
and half. In spite of constant reports
of defeats, famine and social chaos, in
spite of the Thurman and Siberian defec-
lions, they seem to be stronger than ev-
Yer. There is situation we are not per-
mitted to see. Raymond Robins evidently
tried to describe it last summer, but he
could not get hearing until the senate
called him the other day. But the public
has right to know what this phase of
the Russian upheaval really is and not be
confined to partisan reports and sporadic
rum0rs.
Why has bolshevism survived and
grown in Russia? What is its strength
there today? The measures in which we
have joined up to this time seem to be flu
tile or worse. They were not our meas
ures 1t is time America asserted her
right to know what she is about, to make
up her own mind whether she is pulling
others chestnuts out of the fire or fol
owing policy consistent with her owr
interests Chicago Tribune.

WHAT TO DO WITH RAILROADS

There have been at least seven formal
proposals for the disposition of the rail-
roads. Of these only one-that of the
railway brotherhoods- involves complete
government ownership The brotherhoOds
want to have the railroads operated by
the employees, who would pay the gov
eminent specified rental. 1t may be
assumed that most Socialists are in SYM
pathy with this program.
The remaining proposals contemplate
private ownership under some form Of
government control Director General
Hines suggests that the government
should prescribe moderate" guaranty
on capital that federal officials should
have large representation on railroad
boards of directors. and that, finally, the
railway properties of this country should
be consolidated under the management Of
a few large corporations "each of which
will so combine the prosperous roads as
to present fair average result"
Mr.. Hines suggestions seem to afford
one of the most reasonable solutions of
the railroad problem that has yet been
proposed. 1t is obvious that the old sys-
be greatly modified; even the railway ex-
ecutives and security owners are opposed
to any return to the conditions which ex-
listed before we entered the war. BY tax
ing over the operation of the railroads
the government has introduced a numb>r
of new factors into our national trans
portation problem, and these factors are
of such nature as to prevent success
full restoration of the old system.
Our primary desire is to devise a meth
cd whereby the railroads will best serve
the national interest. Some roads,
though Necessary from this point of view,
will inevitably be unprosperous. Mr..
Hines proposal that the more prosperous
railroads should carry the burden Of sup
porting those which, for one reason or
another, are unable to pay regular divi-
dends is one which appears to be sound
if we take service as our chief criterion
of railway transportation. But if we put
this obligation on the stronger railroad
corporations we must also provide some
sort of guaranty Of reasonable rate of
retYrn on the private investment. In that
case we shall of course be entitled to in
sist upon government representation on
the boards of directors as well as great
err degree of federal regulation than was
exercised before the war.--Chicago Tri-
