Here is a grave Issue, which may
we'll call for investigation Of the
most thorough kind. 1t is closely
related to the matters already re-
ceiving attention by the grand jury.
Vice cannot be ended, but the
police protection of vice can be, as
the long, uphill struggle for a clean
police force finally demonstrated
under Commissioner Woods. Has
that ground been lost? This ques-
ton seems to us the far more
sinister possibility to be drawn from
DR.. Straton's sensational testimony
as to public immortality.

But by contrast such severance Of re-
lations with the executive branch Of
the American government does not ve-,
and probably will not, meet with British
approval and is opposed by certain elc-
ments in France. In both countries
there is a growing recognition of the
fact that the legislative branch Of
our government. in the hands Of Re-
puhlicans, will not accept the policies
or the purposes of the President; that,
in a word, Mr.. Wilson can neither COM

The 'Unnitigated intellectual

The public is indebted to Elsie
Clews Parsons, writing in The Dial
in review. of volume by the late
Randolph Bourne, for this admirable
and Illuminating phrase. AS fel-
low pacifist she expresses the largest
appreciation of the labor of Bourne
IN opposition to the war; yet with
admirable candor Ca rare enough
Gift among intellectuals or any other
humans, for that matter) she con-
codes the egregieus error Of fact
into which he fell. Even after the
war spirit was all about him he
could still refer to war as "an upper
class sport and argue that the masses
were driven into it with no more
enthusiasm han into Industry" Mrs.
Parsons continues:
CAS- an unmitigated intellectual,
his understanding Of irrational
groups, wage Garner as we'll as
millionaire, remained limited How
mcager a part thought plays in social
life he came in measure to under
stand; but Of the emotions that take
the place Of thought he had little
grasp, nor Of the emotional graft
fcations that are brought by war to
the irrutional.''
1t is a long step forward to have
an intellectual thus concede the
shortsightedness of "unmitigated'
! brains. We wonder when an intel
lectual will go step further and
consider just why "unmitigated'
brains make such a poor fist Of solv-
ing the practical problems of So
ciety-with what substance, if any
brains can be "mitigatcd" in order
to serve society effectively. Or is
there no way by which a mind like
Randolph Bourne's, ever consciously
striving to be rational and poised
may be saved from making such ap-
palling blunders?
Mrs. Parsons, for one, has sue
ceeded in her naturalization in
avoiding the egrcgious misconceptjor
Of Bourne. But the bulk Of pacilsts
still hold with that earlier view, w
think. They still talk as if war were
forced upon most people by th(
trickcry Of a few alone and never
fruit of the deep convictions OF
the masses. And has Mrs. Parson,
really reached the root of the matter
by her clearer conception Of grou}
feelings and her recognition of ths
large part that emotions play il
forming popular views?
We think that in fact she has onl,
pushed the puzzle little deepc,
into the mystery Of human nature
The truth is that the normal human
mind has its own empirical processe
Of reaching conclusions In thos
processes emotions play q far large
part IMAM pure reason; ana rlBnIl,
so, for the confused practical prob
lens Of individuals and Of nation
are quite beyond the capacity of pur
reason to solve. We can ascertain

The Same Riddle
By Frank H. Simonds

President Wilson's recommendation
to Europe in the matter of Turkey
both by its contents and by the fact
of its dispatch, raises the same cd
riddle of American relation to Euro
pean and, for that matter, Asiatic ques-
tons. Technically, the United States
is without claim to participate in Turk
ish settlements save only as American
interests are directly affected, because
the United States refrained from &C.
claring war upon Turkey. Thus, the
making of peace is for the belligerents,
but the President brushes this cir
cumstance aside with the declaration
that the victory over Turkey was a
detail resulting from the general sue
cess, to which America contributed.
The american Teto
But, aside from the technical aspect,
the United States is not in q position
to take any positive step because the
Senate has rejected the Treaty Of Yer
sallles, and we arc thus without stand
Ing in the councils of the Allied ma
lions. All that can actually be done
by the United States through the Pres
!dent is negative; we can withhold
our approval from the settlements made
by Europe; we can threaten an alb
solute withdrawal, withdrawal by the
executive branch of our government,
provided Europe does not accept our
advice.
Now, the normal course Of Europe in
this situation is unmistakable. Will
ingness to heed American wishes. pro-
vided America were partner, ready
to contribute from its resources to
the general fund, might be accepted.
But the assumption of an American
right to prescribe and to veto, with
out any accompanying American readi-
ness to share costs and respons bilities,
would naturally entitle the European
nations to assert and to act upon
the theory that American claims are
without warrant
This is what the Italians would be
glad to do. because their own Adriatic
claims have been accepted by France
and Great Britain, anc; would now be
realized but for the veto of the Pres'-
dent. This is what a large and grow
ing faction of the French public would
be glad to do, because the hostility
of the President to France has been
disclosed with ever-increasing intensity
in recent months and warrants the
French assumption that only opposition
to French interests can be expected
from President Wilson.

plain Americas course in recent
months.
What the British now expect is that
there will be a change in party con-
troll at the next election, but their &C
ton now is predicated on the assump-
ton that once the change comes and
the Pres dent disappears, it viii be
possible to establish some sort Of An
glo-American solidarity through nego-
tiations with the new government Ex-
actly as the British enlisted the Pres
i6cnt in their general policy by accept
ing his fourteen points they are now
preparing to enlist Republican sue
cessor by subscribing to the Senatcs
reservations.
British foreign policy is now founded
upon the cardinal doctrine that for
the future there must be active and
close Anglo-Amercan cooperation. To
insure this cooperation the British are
prepared to make many concessions,
and the least of these concessions
would be the acceptance of the Sen
atc's reservations. What the British
desire is the presence OF American
representatives in world congress
WITHOUT regard to the powers Of these
American representatives whose in
fluence will be hardly less decisive
since they will speak for America, even
if they cannot commit america actu-
ally to any specific course.
British Hopes
Hence, the British will not sanction
any course which would lead to an open
break with the United States. French,
Italian or Polish interests will net be
accepted by the British as supplying
any warrant for dsregarding Ameri-
can opinion, as expressed by the Pres
ident, since such a break might result
in an ultimate elimination Of the Unit
ed States from world affairs. More
over, the British are similarly pre-
pared to make considerable concession
on their own part to this end. Ac-
cebting the action Of the Senate in the
matter OF ireland, which was an enor-
the moment, accepting it with only 6
minimum Of press protest, is the bis
demonstration of this purpose.
As far IS the President is concerned
British policy no longer accepts him
as representing the Will of the coun
try. On the contrary, it regards hin
as certain to disappear in brief time
and is busily engaged in preparing tn,
way for establishing close relation:
with his successor, by accepting il
advance those treaty reservation:
which have been the expression of tn,
Republican views in the Senate. Blu
an open break with the President Il
to be avoided, lest it might lead to
real separation of the United State
from European affairs.
