Condoning Murder

ARK NO new factor has arisen In the
problem of Furnishing the Germans
: guilty of murder and worse. If they
= were guilty when the treaty of peace
was signed they are just as guilty
now. The German people protested
long and loud when they signed the
r treaty. They are still protesting.
They are making exactly the excuses
and defiances, mingled in the familiar
4. proportions, that were to be expected.
Should the Allies therefore waive
these charges and punishments? :?
Not if they have any courage left
= and enough wisdom to see, as they
saw year ago, that one Of the few
8 known ways to prevent recurrence
. of crime is to punish the guilty.
One Of the most impudent of the
plants issuing from Germany at
the moment is that which declares
that to enforce these punishments
e would be to blot the record Of Ger
:, many in history for all time. Such
a blotting is, in fact, the prime
motive for the punishments. A
:. sense Of guilt toward the war, it's
/; origin and it's conduct is still rudi-
mentary beyond the Rhine. The
proposed trials, whereby legal evil
. i-ence against individuals would be
: presented before judicial tribunals
= and the facts spread upon record
= TO be read by generations to come,
: would do more to repair this error
: than any other course now open.
e a thorough beating of the German
:. people upon the battlefield might
Rave helped. But that was not per-
mitted; and it is now impossible.
There remains this slower grinding
of the mills Of God. In many
ways. if persisted in and followed
ont to its logical issue in sentence
and execution of those proved guilty,
it gives more promise of permanent
. results than q merely military
beating.
But it must be persisted in. To
{ talk of hate in connection with the
= issue is 10 talk Of something wholly
9 irrelevant Hate was never the
motive for the demand. 1t should
play no more part now than should
=" Il weak sentimentalism. AS matter
of fact, the processes of punishment,
conducted as the Allies propose, with
every safeguard Of justice and fair
81 play, are not exciting or easy and
g; WELD no vent for small hate. They
satisfy only an abiding sense of
Justice and a demand for q solemn
warning addressed to future genera
y tions. In such spirit were the pro-
sss,visions for the punishment of guilty
vs,1ermans conceived and drawn. So
they should be executed now.
The warning in question is ad-
dressed to both nations and indi-
ssiduals. In years to come even a
Teutonic general may hesitate to
sNrder the ravishment of village or
ssShe execution of hostages by the
s4ozen if his ancestor was put to
.sqeath or sentenced to Jail for ex-
ssActly the same crime against the
slAws of civilized warfare. The
ssremedy is not a sure preventive
ssYhere is no sure preventive But it
sis the best protection against an
spther bestial war that we know
fTo do less Is to condone the most
sNllainous of crimes and publish to
sRosterity that crime goes unpun-
Ihhed provided only that the rape

Not a Candidate

Not a Candidate
The form and content of Mr..
Hoover's statement fully support
his announcement: "I have not
sought and am not seeking the Pres-
dency."
Any one conversant with Ameri-
can politics knows that a man who
is seeking the Presidency must
first seek party nomination. That
is an unavoidable preliminary. But
Mr.. Hoover is making 10 advances
to either party. He admits that he
doesn't "believe in more than two
great parties" But he isn't sure
at present which of them he prefers
or with which he will vote at the
next election.
AS citizen of independent pro-
clivities Mr.. Hoover does himself
credit by saying:
81 am being urged by people in
both parties to declare my allegiance
to either one or the other. Those
who know me know that I am able
to make up my mind when q subject
is clearly defined Consequently
until 1t more definitely appears what
the party managers stand for I must
exercise a prerogative of American
citizenship and decline to pledge my
vote blindfold."
What the parties stand for-if
1t Is assumed that nobody knows
as yet what they do stand for
will be disclosed fully only after the
national conventions meet and adopt
platforms. 1t will then be rather
late for candidate, uncertain up
to that hour, to decide with which
he is in accord. Unfortunately, too,
the Republican and Democratic con-
ventions do not meet at the same
time. The former will have nomi-
mated a candidate and adjourned
before the latter assemblies And
there Is no recall for Presidential
nominees.
People are, Of course, interested in
Mr.. Hoover's views, whether he is
candidate for q Presidential nomi-
nation or not. 1t is regrettable,
therefore, that he didn't make
clearer, for the benefit of his chief
newspaper supporter, The World,
as we'll as for others, his attitude
toward ratification of the peace
treaty. He says:
"If the treaty goes over to the
Presidential election with any reser-
vations necessary to clarity the
worlds mind that there can be nc
infringement of the safeguards pro-
vided by our Constitution and our
nation-old traditons), then I must
vote for the party that stands for
the league"
If the treaty fails of ratification
this winter and becomes an issue
in the Presidential campaign, the
only likely cleavage between the.
parties would be on the question
whether it should be ratified more
or less Internationally, according
to the Presidents demands, or with
substantial reservations, according
to- the Senate's. Mr.. Hoover is
understood to have expressed some
definite views on this subject in a
telegram to the President, as yet
unpublished. He didn't express
them in his statement of last
Sunday.
Being a candidate for the Presi-
dency is something Of an art In
itself. 1t Is an art in which Mr..
Hoover hasn't yet been initiated,
And time presses. Perhaps 1t is
just as we'll that he shouldn't take
a hand just now in a game in which
he is so inexpert. He made a great
reputation in the war. He is an
American of promise, with many
years of work ahead of him and he
will undoubtedly continue to serve

The New Adiahc Crisis
By Frank H. Simonds

Slav and the Italian than this long
and angry dispute, and any compromise
now will necessarily leave permanent
bitterness, because 1t will have to be
achieved by the sacrifice Of certain of
the Slav rights and these rights have
achieved new power and sanctity for
the laws by reason Of President Will
sons course in championing them.
Friendship Disrupted
Meantime the dispute has not been
restricted to Italy and the -Slavs
on the contrary it was extended and
became the cause of an almost unprec-
edented Italian resentment, directed
chiefly at the French, but also at the
Americans and the British. France and
Italy are to-day more unfriendly than
they have been for forty years, chiefly
because the Italians hold Clemenceau
guilty Of having supported President
Wilson in the Fiume episode. And
this split actually threatens to dis
rupt the alliance which fought and
defeated Germany.
Nor does this incident end with
Franco-1talian hostility. 1t has en-
broiled Rumania and Jugo- Slavia, be-
cause the Rumanians have found Ital
ian support for their claims to the
portion Of the Banat awarded to Ser
bia at Paris. The possibility Of clash
between the Slav and the Italian has
encouraged the Rumanians to hope for
an opportunity to invade the Western
Banat while Italy invades the Slovene
and Croat country. Even the Bulgars
see chance to make q new bid for
Macedonia by a fresh attack upon
Serbia.
AS for the Italians, they are work
ing steadilAs to fomcnt jealousy in
Jugo-Slavia, to estrange the Greats
from the Slovenes and from the Serbs
to encourage the Montenegrins to sees
separation from Serbia. The very unity
Of the Kingdom of the Serbs. the
Croats and the Slovenes, has been i'm.
paired. A new Balkan question has
been created far more difficult thar
that which existed before the World
War and actually precipitated the CO
lossal struggle.

ROBINSON IS
 NOT SURE HE
 FAVORS PLAN

City Clerk Alexander J. A. H. Rob-
 inson isn't so sure that he favors the
 Commission Plan of government, not
 the abolition of party labels in muni-
 cipa1 politics, which is not altogether
 strange, because MT. Robinson has
 distinguished leadership in the party
 system. He said yesterday, address
 ing a representative of The Times:
 I am frank to say I do not under stand the City Manager plan of Municipal Government well enough
 to really decide whether I am in
 favor of it or not.
 I have always been a, strictly party man and proud of what my party has accomplished in the management of the city for the past few years; but, I will confess to a feeling sometimes that if a plan could be devised where party lines could be gotten on local affairs and more attention given to the qualifications of those who aspire to manage the business of the city, might be for it.
 have ready reports of some eighty-five towns in twenty-six states which have tried out the managerial plan. More than one half of these towns are less than ten thousand in population, although some of the larger cities, such as Grand Rapids,
 Mich., might be compared to Bridge port.
 If my information is correct, there is a great division of opinion as to
 results, some are satlshed, Whlle others are very d1SSdt1Sued ana anxious to get back to the old sys-
 tenn. I have always been willing to believe that our present system could be worked out to greater degree of
 efficiency if real cooperation nio co ceuid Id the element of selfshness could be eliminated, but of course if that could be so, we would then have ideal gov ernment.
