DR.. George 0. Webster, who has closed
up his professional business in Berlin
and returned to the United States to re-
side after being located for quarter Of a
century in Germany, expresses the opin-
ion, in an interview in the st, Adams
Messenger, that the German people feel
that Germany was licked" in the war,
and he adds that there is not the least
likelihood that Germany will become a
militarist menace again, DR.. Webster's
opinions are very interesting because
they represent a mental attitude very
much different from that which has here
tofore come out of Germany, the com.
mon report being that German people do
not yet realize that Germany was
licked" However much the allied ma
tions might be pleased to accept such an
of the German mental
as DR.. Webster presents, it is
not likely that the allies will go on any
such assumption as they draw up their
conditions of peace The allied nations
believe that nation once so thoroughly
with militarist ideas cannot
be wholly cleansed of those ideas even by
a decisive reverse.

CURRENT COMMENT


The idea that the league Of nations
is too much of an innovation in our ma
tiOnal policy to be included in the peace
treaty does not stand the test of prece
dents. The acquisition of the Philip
pine islands involved a radical departure
from our previous policy Of territorial
expansion, and that acquisition was
based not on the right of conquest, but
on a simple purchase Yet the purchase
of the Philippines and the development
of the republic into an Oriental power
went through the United States Senate
as part Of the treaty of peace with
Spain.
As momentous an event as one can re-
call in our history, under the constitu-
ton, except. the Civil war. was the Lou.
isiana purchase. President jefferson, on
his own initiative, bought that enormous
western empire from France in 1903
without consulting the United States
Senate or any other public body or per-
sOnage. There were Massachusetts, peo-
pie who thought that such an act was
and jefferson himself
agreed with them; many thought also
that such an extension of the federal
jurisdiction and power
meant the sure extinction of the states
and of American liberties and the end of
republican institutions But, when the
time came, the Senate ratified Jefferson's
treaty.
Most of the big things in our history
have been done through the initiative Of
our presidents and not by the United
States Senate. They have often been
done through treaties that the Senate
found itself forced to ratify, If Will
son is wrong, the Senate may reject his
work. But he is Selling an opportunity

ing of the hotel and its operation on a
satisfactory scale would prove a slim
illus to business in general. The people
Of that community ought to lend what
cooperation they can toward making
the experiment of the board of trade as
successful as possiblei and, if we may be
permitted to make suggestion we pro-
pose that the old name of Monument
house be not resurrected along with the
hotel. Some other name would fill the
bill far more aeceptably and with less
gloomy effect.

Canada Is Steppinp Out.

Canada's manufacturing census for
1917, just printed, SHOWS that our north
ern neighbor, possessing but little more
than 100000 people, and with hundreds
OF thousands OF men absent, has been
saving much industrial wood. Her total
manufactured products during the year
amounted to more than three billions of
dollars Of this, munitions figured to a
much smaller degree than might have
been expected, the total for war material
being but Sll2,000,000. OF the three bill
lions of manufactured products, -four and
-four products, steel and iron products,
meat packing, logging and lumber, pulp
and paper and dairy products alone
amounted to nearly half It is believed
that the figures for last year, when
printed, will considerably pass the 1917
record.
Canada, at least, is fully awake to her
industrial possibilities. Before the war
the great northern empire depended very
largely upon her natural resources in
agriculture and timber, and on her mari.
time pursuits, to create the national
wealth. But necessity has wrought a

veloped suddenly in variety and to an
extent. Scores of articles.
both large and small, are now being
made across the border Ships, automo,
biles, locomotives, cars, tractors, type
fabrics, and so on are being
turned out in growing amounts.
And Canada with a new sense of her
consequence, is tuning her
eyes aggressiyely toward foreign markets.
Already she is theoretically turning at
tention to the markets of South Amer.
lea, She expects to take a large part in
the restocking Of the Balkans with all
the things which needy population
needs. Canada, which doubled its in.
dustrial output in two years time, will
show up in many unexpected marts of
trade before she is much older. We shall
have to step lively on this side of the
line-Cincinnati Times Star.

valuable if it is accomplished by air

HAVE THE FIRST CALL

SOLDIERS HAVE THE FIRST CALL.
1t is a good thing to find places of
employment for the ex-convicts who
have been released since the war, but it
would seem more like an expression of
gratitude to endeavor to secure places of
employment for the men who are being
released from the United States service
After these latter have been accommo.
dated it would be reasonable to turn to
the moral obligation of fitting the ex-
convicts back into society. We hesitate
to make reference in the same paragraph
to ex.convicts and soldiers and sailors,
and in the same connection, too; but the
activity of certain organizations in try
ing to secure work for the ex-convicts
instead of for the hundreds of thousands
Of men who are being relieved from duty
with the United States forces makes it
necessary to call attention to the matter
at one and the same time. 1t seems to
us that these organizations could do bet
ter by giving the preference to the sol
diers and sailors and let the ex-conyicts
take their turn.

Probably Speaker Champ Clark did
not say that the league of nations had

the deed to the hotel in that village

which it was intended. Wiliamstown

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1919-03-17

A contemporary asks why it is that
the war department proposes to keep an
army of $4,000 officers and men pending
the enactment of law fixing the size of
the army, the wonder being that the
proposal does not fix round figures like
100000. A possible explanation might
be that complete units such as are de-
sired cannot be fitted to round numbers,
that some branches of the service might
be short if there should be arbitrary
chopping off at round figures. As we
understand it, the United States army
IS not shaped according to round figures
but rather with regard to the number of
men actually required to fill out the
branches of the units. So there comes
the proposal to maintain an army of
such odd figures as $4,000 officers and
men. In effect, however, it would be an
army of half million, if that sort of
calculation is more pleasing to those
who wonder what the $500 may mean.

the needless waste for which the govern.

ing. Nor is this the first time that this
duplication has occurred since the fever.
ish publicity rush in Washington began
after the United States entered the war
Incidentally, the duplicated articles were
something which could not be used by
The Times and which probably would
not be used by one newspaper in a hun
bred to which they were undoubtedly ad-
dressed. This means that not only was
paper needlessly wasted but money was
spent needlessly for labor in some de-
partment in Washington. Of course, this
IS a very small matter of waste and ex-
pense but were all these leaks to be
brought together they would make quite
a sizeable hole through which the PEG.
