dashed along at fine speed. Mr..
Meeker was so enraptured with the
scene--the shining peaks Of the
Snowy Range, the exhilarating ozone
Of the Great Plains stretching away
like the ocean to the Missouri Riv-
er five hundred miles away-that
when he returned to New York he
told his family that he was going
to start colony in the Rocky Noun
tains.
At that time I was on the city
staff Of The Tribune; had been real
estate editor, and was appointed
secretary Of the colony enterprise.
Mr.. Greeley was absent when Mr..
Meeker returned from his Western
trip, but few days later said to
John Russell Young, then managing
editor, Il hear that Meeker is going
to take a colony to Colorado. Tell
him to go ahead, and I will back him
in The Tribune. ! only wish / could

At Cooper Union
My father found Mr. Greeley en-
Enthusiastically in favor Of the pro-
posed colony, and said he would ac-
cept the treasuryship and have the
cashier, Mr.. Gerow, act as his finan-
clal representative. The proceed
ings of the meeting following the
"call" issued by Mr.. Meeker were
held in the Farmers Club room Of
Cooper Institute. The place was
overcrowded, and when my father
invited Mr.. Greeley to preside re-
porters of the leading New York
dallies were there to get the story
of the new organization for farm
ing by irrigation in the Rocky Noun
talns. SO deep was the interest in
the magnitude and picturesque
character of the undertaking that
nearly hundred applications for
membership had already been re-
celved, and money was pouring in
by every mail until there was 500
600 in the bank. My duties as sec
retary were to answer letters in my
fathers absence and receipt for the
money sent in for memberships. Mr..
Meeker was unanimously elected
president; General Robert A. Cam
eron, of Elmira, president, and
Mr.. Greeley treasurer. The reports
of the successful organization of the
colony, telegraphed over the coun-
try, received q magical response.

! ish policy was deeply engaged in
setting up small states, dependent
upon the British, and commercial
bases for British trade with Russia
can only mean first nominal and
then an actual return of these lands
to Russian control. Instead of a
chain Of border states, natural allies
Of the outside world and barriers
against German entrance and Rus
sian exit, all Of the border states are
now almost certain to return to the
Russian orbit.
And this is the real Bolshevist
maneuver. Peace has already been
made between the Lenine- -Trotzky
government and the Lithuanians,
Let's and Esthonians, and frontiers
have been granted to these several
tribes which 60 outside Of ethnic
rights. But in giving them more
than they asked the Bolshevists have
az one time placated old enemies and
prepared the way for ultimate recon-
quest. Each of these tribes has
sought aid from the West, from the
old allies, has failed to obtain it and
finds itself now, while nominally at
peace and independent, confronted
with the inescapable fact that it can
not rely upon the West to defend it
against Russia, Bolshevist or Gar
istic.
Poland the Next Victim
Now the Russians have extended
this policy to Poland. The British
government demands that the Bol-
shevists make peace with the Poles
on the basis Of these restricted
frontiers imposed upon the Poles at
Paris by the British, frontiers so re-
stricted that the Poles undertook
their recent disastrous war. But the
Russians reply that they will make
peace only with the Poles directly,
and then cleverly assert that the
frontiers conceded by Poland's west
crn allies are far more unfavorable
to Poland than those Russia is pre-
pared to admit
What does this mean? 1t means
beyond all else that the Poles, bitter
at what they must regard as their
betrayal by the West, hopeless now
OF realizing even the most modest of
their old aspirations, find suddenly
that it is more profitable to agree
with the Bolshevists than to serve
the West; what was unobtainable

civilization may be had for the ask
ing, if Poland only chooses to turn
east rather than west.

Peace and War

1t would have been far better TO
have made peace with the Bolshe-
vists---that is, to abandon all effort to
fight them, even in the face of the
fact that they would continue the
battle, rather than to undertake to
make war and pretend peace at the
same moment. No one was deceived,
but those whom the respective gov
ernments sought to deceive were nat
urally indignant and became more
and more hostile and dangerous po-
litically, and at the same time one
effort after another to wage war in
disguise came to its inevitable fail
ure.
So at last, almost three years after
the rise of Bolshevism in Russia, the
situation is this: All the so-called
domestic revolts, those of kolchak

men did not dare to make war OPEN
ly, because Of the opposition at home
to any more war and the deliberate
use of the Bolshevist cause by the
labor elements in politics to fight the
several governments.
Western statesmen perceived the
fact that Bolshevism was in fact a
gospel of war upon the West, that
peace was impossible because the
enemy was seeking to destroy the
Western form Of government and of
industrial rganization. But it
lacked the courage to tell the truth,
it sought at one time to make war
and to declare that it was not max
ing war. The result was that it ac-
tually made war badly and deceived
even less successfully.
New-York tribune., 1920-08-01
Every Hand Il Raised

But what is more important than
the wars Of conquest is the essential
fact that in western Asia every
Western hand is raised against every
other. The British and French are
as hostile, as unmistakably rivals as
they were in America century and
half ago. The Italian, again, is hos
tile to both, and covertly encourag-
ing the Turk to attack the Greek. al
though the Greek is ally and agent
Of the Briton.
In this situation the British gov
ernment is eagerly seeking to make
peace with the Bolshevists, and that
peace more and more takes on the
appearance of a surrender. an effort
to placate. The reason is obvious.

whether through Persia or Armenia.

tlccd by their political leaders in re-
cent months. They welcome the Bol-
sheVlst triumph only in small part,

with no accurate appreciation of

New-York tribune., 1920-08-01
No More Resistance

Since these things are true. It Is
useless now to attempt to excite
Western publics by any statement Of
what the Bolshevist successes may
mean for them. Yet the truth IS
plain for all who care to see it.
Alter three years the Russian revo-

1852, spread to Belgium, Holland,

to resist where Poland tried, was
abandoned and fell.
And the roads through Germany

against the Bolshevists, have been
crushed with the Poles. Ukrainia is
almost all in Bolshevist hands. But
again Bolshevist policy is disclosed
in the assertion Of Jofe, one of Le-
nine agents, that the fullest meas
ure of autonomy is to be conceded to
the Ukraine, once peace is restored
What Germany failed to bestow upon
the Ukrainians Lenine and Trotzky

New-York tribune., 1920-08-01

antee, there is no possible assurance
that the Bolshevists will desist, too.
In truth, Lenine and Trotzky can
only desist by betraying their fol-
lowers and their cause. They are
seeking to overturn the Western
civilization, to conquer with ideas
where arms are not available, but
in fact to establish in the West the
regime they have established in
Russia. 1t is convenient for them
now to make peace, just as it was
convenient for them to make peace
with Germany at Brest-Litovsk
But their idea Of peace is not an
end Of war-making upon the West,
but merely a change of weapons;
they desire to corrupt, not to con-
quer, to use their own peculiar
methods.
New-York tribune., 1920-08-01
Why Campaigns Failed

To make war upon Russia is stu
pid, so far as it has any purpose to
dabble in Russian affairs, to restore
the Czaristic regime, to establish
some bourgeoisie control. Most Of
the failures so far have been due to
the fact that to the Russians they
seemed q deliberate effort Of the
West to destroy the Russian Revo-
luton. But it is inescapable so far
as the Russians refuse to make
peace with the West and plan to use
their own weapons while seeking to
persuade the West to lay aside it's
own weapons.
The trouble with the whole Rus
sian problem from the armistice to
the present moment lies in the fact
that the cowardice of Western
statesmen has led to the most incom-
prehensible trickery. These states

On The Tribune Staff

At the close of the war Mr..
Meeker was called to New York and
given wide latitude on the editorial
staff, writing on social and indus
trial topics, besides writing up the
noted communities of the United
States from Oneida to Salt Lake,
with its marvellous irrigation sys-
tem and vast agricultural develop
ment. 1t was while snowbound at
Cheyenne, waiting for trains to be-
gin running west of Laramie, in the
spring of 1869, that Mr.. Meelzer took
advantage of the delay to visit Colo
RADIO territory and the famous min
ing city Of Denver, then with few in
habitants and no railroad.
He took the stage running along
the foothills by the way of La Port
and Boulder. Little snow had fall

A Bolsl,cvi!S Bargain

And this bargain is obviously to
be based upon the Bolshevist pur-
pose to penetrate and permeate.
Lenine and Trotzky are not directly
following in the footsteps of their
czaristic predecessors; they are not
seeking the conquest Of territory, but
the destruction of nations. Theirs is
an international, not a nationalistic,
aspiration.

vized Lithuania may include all of

came he offered his services to The
Tribune and, renewing his corrc-
spondence with Mr.. Greeley, began
publishing in The Tribune series
of letters from southern Illinois
(known as Eeypt), showing the ig-
norance and hostility of the natives
down there, who were bitterly op-
posed to Mr.. Lincoln and the war.
These quaint, sarcastic articles, Civ

and "The Union as 1t Was," made
a hit, and Mr.. Greeley telegraphed

Then came military service, and Mr..
Meeker was The Tribune's only cor

fred E. Smith denied in an address
mere tonight that eight-hour laws
governing the work of women. and
other legislation designed to ameli-
crate women's working conditions,
could properly be termed paternal-
istic
"The courts of our country have
come to realize that the care and pro-
lection by the state of women and
children engaged in industry is a pub
tic health measure. and they do not
agree with Nathan l.. Miller's atti-
tude when he holds that to protect the
health of all people engaged in in
dustry is to coddle them,' Governor
Smith said
Declaring it Gust as wasteful from
the standpoint of public health to
starve woman as to overwork her"
he expressed the belief that minimum
wage laws affecting women are indis-
pcnsable
The Governor discussed the present
law fixing maximum of 81 hours a
week for women's labor, or nine hours
daily. IL stand with great many
people who believe that that should
be shortened by law to eight hours, !"
he declared.
Does Judge Miller take the position
that as Governor he would regard all
these as paternalistic legislation? If
he does, he can rest assured that bills
will be sent to him breaking down
these laws, and if he maintains a con-
slstent attitude he will be obliged to
