The Edge OF Ruin

For the moment this was a popular
move, it silenced domestic protest
growing out of terrible casualties, but
the result was the greatest defeat in
British history-the disaster of March
and April, which cost Haie losses az
gregating 100000 men, $4,000 Of them
prisoners-and brought the whole Al
ned cause TO the edge Of ruin This
was fair example of the Georgian
method, which finds new illustration
In the Russian upset. With the mil
'tary facts of 1918 Lloyd George did
not concern himself; he was thinking
in terms Of his own political prob
lens at home In the same way he is
now thinking of his Labor and Liberal
critics at home, not of Russian and
Middle European conditions.
The worst phase of this new policy
If policy it may be called, is that IN
abandoning all notion Of fighting Boil
shivlsm 1t does not go to the logical
conclusion and make peace. There Is
to be no recognition of Trotzky and
Lenine, no surrender of the idea that
they are beyond the pale; we, the West
ern nations, are merely going to feed
and equip and supply Russian indus
try, itself in the hands OF the enemy.
New-York tribune., 1920-01-27
ity Of unbounded domesticity," but
in all mortal concerns, great or
small. What has the war or any
other event to do with it?
The Caucasus as a Barrier

The recognition Of the republics
OF the Caucasus is the natural
counter move to the Bolshevik
strategy of making war OH Western
Europe via Asia. By their attempt
to forge their way to the northwest
ern frontier of India through Persia
and Afghanistan the Bolsheviks once
more prove themselves the true heirs
Of Czaristic Imperialism. The strate-
glsts of Moscow now try to combine
with their program Of class strug-
gle the Prussian scheme of arousing
the Moslems of Western Asia, while
Bolshevik propaganda has been ex-
tremely busy in Persia, Turkestan
and Afghanistan, and in India itself.
The strategic center of the Boil
shevik plan Of campaign-another
hint borrowed from Czaristic i'm
perialism-is Afghanistan. Two Boil
shevik emissaries, Bravin and Sur
ltzky, are, or were quite recently, at
work on Kabul and Herat, respec-
lively, with large staAs and larger
funds at their disposal. Barana-
tulla, Hindu who recently headed
the Afghan mission to Moscow, de-
clares that his chief purpose is "the
expulsion of the British from Asia"
Needless to say, it is not the
MARKHAM aspect Of Bolshevism that
appeals to the barbarous Afghans.
If they join the Russian "Reds" in
an attack on India. it is not to spread
communism and establish proletarian
dictatorship. 1t is characteristic of
Bolshevik craftsmanship to avail
itself of such allies; here again
Trotzky merely follows in the foot
steps of Ludendorff.
One hundred and twenty years
ago Nelson made Egypt Indias first
line of defense. To-day the danger
threatens not from the west, but
the north, and the advantages of
establishing the line Of defense in
the Caucasus are obvious at glance.
The British task there is facilitated
by the existence of the two vigorous
and progressive republics of Georgia
and Azerbaijan, the former largely
Christian, the latter Moslem, both
abundant in natural resources and
Inhabited by virile races with keen
nationalist feeling and an intense
hatred Of Bolshevism. For them, IS
for the Baltic peoples, Poles and
Ukrainians, the rule Of Lenine means
another form of Muscovite tyranny. !
New-York tribune., 1920-01-27
! Icioyious Boishcrili

NOT beng able or willing to fight any
longer, Lloyd George has endeavored
to buy eff the Bolshcviki, but in his
precipitate haste to fortify his political
position at home he has neglected to
demand any reciprocal concessions
from the Bolsheviki. He has raised q
physical blockade which, to degree
at least, crippled the enemy, but he
has failed to make any effort to con-
vert this enemy into more friendly
mood by insisting on the moral block
ade. The victorious Bolsheviki are
now met by the declarations
We won't fight you any more; we
will even trade with You, but we still
despise You as much as ever and un-
der no circumstances viii we associate
with YOU"
All Of which means that the Rus
sian revolution, like the French revo-
luton before it, has won the first
round. 1t is now master of the situa-
tion, with time and opportunity to or
ganize its resources before it renews
the inevitable conflict, for Bolshevism
is state Of war against our ciyiliza-
ton. In the end it must conquer or be
conquered, and to-day it is victorious.

No New Thing

A group of serious thinkers in
England break in on the leap wear
Joke-smlths to urge seriously
the advantages Of equality Of
the sexes in proposals of mar
rage. One takes high altruistic
ground. "lt is really quite unfair"
she says, "that the men should al
ways suffer the humiliation of being
refused" Another argues that "shy
men make the best husbands"-an
obiter dict1m that requires some re.
Election. The general agreement is
that the initiative has passed to the
women so generally that there is no
good reason why marriage, the most
important event in a woman's life.
should be the exception.
The force Of the argument may be
admitted. George Bernard Shaw
was not the first to discover that
IN the love chase the hunter and
the quarry are the same. If women
once lacked initiative in matters of
the heart it was in time whereof
the memory of man." in Black
stones words, 'runneth not to the
contrary.' The case of Dido is a
familiar example Much of the
talk about the New Woman is
absurd. Queen Elizabeth would
have done credit to Vassar. Lady
Jane Grey wore hosiery of the
most cerulean hue. Descartes THOUGHT
that the Princess Elizabeth, ,.sthe Sis
ter of Rupert, was the only person
VINO really understood his philosophy.
Let not the learned ladies Of TODAY
boast too loudly.

MIR. Hoover and His Candidates.

That Mr.. Hoover will long be abl,
to maintain receptive attitude
toward both Presidential nomina
tions is, of course, to be regarded a.
impossible. If his claims continue
to be urged circumstances beyono
his control will force him to choose
on which ticket, if any, his name is
to appear.
Many thousand other public Off
GERS are to be chosen in November
and the interests Of these candidates
will be affected by the tickets head
This alone negatives the non-parti-
san idea that some Of Mr.. Hoover s
friends are promulgating.
Moreover, most of the states have
primary laws which assume the
existence of bipartisan political
system, and through force of law
there must be partisan selections.
Admiral Dewey a few years ago
sought to present himself as Mr..
Hoover is being presented now, and
did not care on which ticket he ran.
but his plan of campaign proved un-
workable.
But though the facts Of the stu
alton are to be recognized, this is no
reason why there should be any
disposition to derogate from Mr..
Hoover's just repute. He was one
of the first Americans to perceive
and react to the issues of the war
and this attests alike his vision and
his moral soundness. When word
came to him from across the sea
that all Americans were to be neu
tral in thought as well as in deed,
he repudiated the advice and went
to work to advance the cause
which both his mind and his heart
approved. He was not Of the num-
Der that it took two or three years to
educate into right views.
When the advancing German
armies pushed the helpless Belgians
before them Mr.. Hoover was not
satisfied merely to indulge the
luxury of generous feelings. He
acted; he acted in such way as to
make his name blessed one to mil
lions. Americans can take proper
pride in saluting Mr.. Hoover as a
fellow American. He has conferred
luster on the nation, and in the
eagerness Of political discussion the
fact should never be forgotten or
obscured. 1t is beyond his power
to ride at the same time horses
going in contrary directions, but this
is no reason for his belittlement or
for failure to acknowledge his great
services.

The Negro's S Needs
Education That Might Prevent
BoIshevisrrs Later
To the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: It is only after years of indiser-
ence that the country has wakened to
the menace OF Bolshevism. and now q.
last, thoroughly aroused, radical action
IS being taken. The causes of Bolshe-
ylsm are not eradicated by deportations,
no matter how numerous. The same dis
quoting symptoms that prognosticated
Bolshevism may be read in the curreni
eveFs among the race riots in Chicago
and Omaha and elsewhere
Prejudice and injustice are the breed
ing ground OF Bolshevism. and many Of
our twelve million negroes feel that
their race-the American minority yace
is disinherited minority. True, the
negro has always been loyal, whether
in the regiments Of General Washing
ton or in the battlefront in the eos
or in France. but one wonders whether
TINS fine loyalty may not be imposed
upon. Unequal pay for equal labor
unequal sportation facilities for
the same fare, unequal school facilities
for children, added 10 race prejudice
and race discrimination, do not make
ior peace of mind or orderly conduct.
The handwriting is on the wall; now
and not later is the proper time TO
adopt a constructive program which
VIII preserve the negro's loyalty ana
render Bolshevistic propagands I'm
availing among colored people.
The negro needs schools. Nearly
one-half of the negro children Of school
age are ont of school TO- day. There Is
a vital need in this second reconstruc-
ton era for the training of negro
leaders, men who are fit to 20 among
their people as teachers, doctors and
- men inspired with the
American Ideals Of citizenship and
service. men who Will teach the respon-
slbility and tbs privilege Of being AZ
American.

cation WIZ do much TO alay tho un~
