If Hindenburg and Ludendorff are
guilty Of offenses against humanity
they, and not some Of their under
lings. should pay the penalty. It would
be a farce to let them go and to
convict their subordinates; and It
would be farce to try to impress
the German people with the inviolable
majesty Of international law while
fearing to try leaders who are In po-
sition to arouse public elamor in
their behalf. By all means let linden
burg and Ludendorff be among the first
to answer. They stand as heroes be-

II ! were asked to name the princi-
pal cause for the growing unrest my
answer would be bolshevism. The al
most universal attitude Of big business
toward Russian bolshevism-an atti-
tude adopted by most of the govern
ments of Europe-has been, and is,
XIII it; don't waste time examining it;
it isn't worth trying to understand; no
good can come out of it; 1t must be
fought; it isn't entitled to trial.
Reams of paper have been used to as
sail It. Captains Of industry and gov
eminent officials have WED with each
other In making assault on 1t. Many
Of those who oppose bolshevism are
indignant If you ask them what It is
and why they oppose it. They charac-
terize it, attack It, resent 1t. Great
heat has been shown In discussing It,
without throwing any light on the sub
ject. Absurd lies have been told
about bolshevism. Later these unnec-
essary and stupid lies have been ex-
posed, with the result that suspicion
has been bred, unrest fed. The effect
upon the workers has been to increase
their hate for their employers and de-
strOy their already weakened faith In
government.
Whether bolshevism is right or
wrong, whether It is good thing or a
bad thing, it is at least definite po-
litical plan. capable Of being examined,
measured, weighed and tested. 1t is
