CURRENT COMMENT
America and CONSUMPTION.

WHY the United States at this time
ought not to declare for compulsory
military service as permanent ma
tional policy was illustrated in some
remarks made yesterday by Winston
Spencer Churchill, British secretary OF
state for war, in the course OF speech
in the House Of Commons After stat
ing that CONSUMPTION in Great Britain
would end March 81 and that within a
month after that date every conscript
ed man would be entitled to release, he
went on to say that Great Britain had
fought at the peace conference for the
abolition of CONSUMPTION, but had found
no response whatever
The only other power which Great
Britain had succeeded in persuadiug to
abandon CONSUMPTION was Germany,
and that only by compulsion All the
other states had maintained compul-
sorry service as the basis OF their mil
itary system, and apparently had no
intention of departing from il. These
states included. he said, even the Unit.
ed States, which was the originator OF
the league OF nations, and Russia. the
home OF advanced political thought.
His statement is of course unfair to
both these countries since the allies
have not yet made peace and it is still
to be seen what military system Rus
STA will adopt when the red" army
dshands. while the United States has
disbanded its conscript army and has
still TO adopt a permanent military
policy The military bill prepared by
the war department might, however
give Mr. Churchill some excuse for list
ing the United States among the states
proposing to continue compulsory sery
ice. 1t would be most unfortunate to
have il 20 inte the record that after
the war against militarism had been
won the United States failed 10 give
whole. hearted support TO the effort of
Great Britain TO have the victory made
permanent. For this country at the
present time to declare for compulsory
military training would give militarism
in Europe great stimulus.-Spring

Irish sentiment was not hostile to
America nor to Americas war aims
simply because il was hostile to Great
Britain, for the Irish people did not
consider the war aims OF the two coun
tries as the same, according 10 Eamonn
de Valera. president of the Irish re-
public" who has issued statement eX-
planning remarks attributed to him aft
err a speech in the Bronx last Sunday.
The statement follows: when leav
ing the platform on the conclusion OF
the meeting in the Bronx last Sunday,
was questioned by pressman as to
certain inference which might not un
naturally be drawn from an argument
as TO so-called British security which
had developed in my speech with Ger
tain illustrative historical examples
LAS anticipated at the moment
without giving either the circumstances
of the question or its context in the
argument about British security, this
inference il being featured in certain
city papers and with an evident pur
pose.
An attempt is being made to re-cre-
ate the impression in the public mind
that because Irish sentiment was nat
urally hostile TO the British imperial
power that denied the Irish people
their right to national liberty, Irish
sentiment was also necessarily hostile
to America In that there is no truth
whatever. During the war as now and
before the war there was no section of
the Irish people whose feelings toward
America were other than the tradi.
tional feelings more friendly and more
kindly than toward any other nation
in the world.
I'VE in Ireland have never regarded
Britain and America as one and the
same. either in their war aims or in
anything else
mo section of the Irish people have
anything to be ashamed of or anything
to apologize for in their attitude or
their actions during the war That at
titude and those actions, as well as the
argument on British security land the
inference that can legitimately be
drawn from that argument as to what
was likely to be the natural attitude
of the Irish people in the war, in so

testants, the British empire and the

Newspaper publishers will be more
than mildly interested in the announce
ment that the recruiting publicity bu-
reau of the United States army has
decided to dispense with its syndicate
service to the newspapers of the coun-
try and will rely upon its paid adver-
tising matter. The newspapers OF the
country have been extremely generous
in granting space to army recruiting
not only during the period OF the war
but even after that and to the present
time and few of them have realized
any financial emoluments from the
service. In fact, the requests for free
space have been so numerous and so
persistent in this time OF peace that
the newspapers have been forced to
curtail some of the matter, if not to
refuse it entirely, which they are, OF
course. reluctant to do, Millions Of
dollars of space has been given for this
branch of public service and for the
various other branches, and it is high
time that the government should real
ize that the newspapers are oftentimes
hard put to it to furnish so much space
without any return. Some measure of
return in money is due them
