TO BE AN AMERICAN.

WndJ OOeS IL nedu LII oH
tempting briefly to answer this
question we trust it will be re-
membered that this is a humane
journal. That since the day Of its
first publication it has stood not
only for the just treatment Of an
imals but for the just and humane
treatment Of ones fellow men.
1t has never consciously meddled
with politics. 1t has struck hard
at such evils as race prejudice,
and contempt for men Of other
lands. 1t has believed that there
is something greater in this world
than America, or England-great-
er than ever was Rome or Greece
in tile days of their utmost splen-
dor. above all Nations is HUI
mainly" This has been the coil
viction behind all the American
Humane Education Society has
done. to reach the children not
onlyeof this country but of every
other country where a door could
be opened for it to enter. It's
paper, this magazine. has not been
given to the use of pious phrases.
1t has sided with no particular
creed. 1t has tried to say nothing
that it did not believe and mean;
but it has never been ashamed to
confess its faith in the ancient Ut
terance that "God hath made OF
one blood all nations of men for
to dwell on all the face Of the
EARTH" and that "He is no respec-
Ter of persons.
Believing at least this much of
the Christian creed, America has
seemed to us greatest when she
has been most the servant of hui
manity, and least when she would
he it's isolated fragment of selfish
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and pride. The
law of human brotherliness holds
for nations as well as for neigh
bors. The man who can eat and
sleep in peace while his nelgE5ors
are being crushed beneath some
load that he could help them bear
is accursed whether he knows 1T
or net. So also is that nd
ton that puts it's own pros
perity, its own selfish inter
ests first. and says to the rest OF
earth s teeming millions, organ
lied into nations, eco your way
down to death through hunger
and want and pestilence and war,
for all of mel" The nation that
does this is itself on the way 10
death, no mater what statistics say
about its armies and navies, it's ex-
ports and imports, and the bills
receivable due it from its less
fortunate neighbors.
To be an American, then. so far
as it is given us to understand 1t,
is to be one who, loving his coun-
try as the one nation most dear
to him, and for whose true honorl
and defense he would gladly die
if need were, most longs to see
her, and most strives to see her,

friend and helper Of the suffering
and distressed, let them speak

EUROPE'S NEEDS.


ment regarding Europe's financial
! needs and Americas obligation to
supply them stands in refreshing
contrast to some Of the statements
and stories that have gone the
rounds of late. A rumor was
published the other day to the eff
feet that Viscount Gray was re-
turning to England with a pledge
Of thirteen-billion-dollar loan
from the United States. It was
promptly denied and branded as
ridiculous by Washington off
Gals. Another story had it that
the loan was being negotiated by
Sir George Paish, as trustee Of
European credit" This was as
promptly denied by the British
treasury, which declared the ''pol-
icy described in ire rumor dia-
metrically opposed" to its policy,
adding that it Twill not borrow
single dollar from the United
States for the purpose Of loaning
in Europe. " Speaking for him
self, however, and expressly deny
ing that he represented any Eu-
eopean government, Sir George
Paish in an interview at New York
advocated an international bond
issue Of thirty-five billions to f.
nance Europe's reconstruction
Other voices both at home and
abroad are lifted in advocacy of
loans, made direct or
guaranteed by the American gov
for European aid. Eu-
ropes needs are pictured by the
proponents of this project as des-
perate and almost unlimited. |
And America is nominated by al
most unanimous vote as the ideal
creditor in this contemplated |
Mr.. Hoover's statement quite
evidently is designed to discour- ,
age this bubble-blowing. Outside /
Of temporarily deferring interest
on money already
loaned. America s task in his
lis reduced to helping
out the bread supply Of less than
5 ner cent Of the population of
Europe. No such situation exists
as that which confronted America
last year. he adds. "and there
is no ground for hysteria on either
side of the Atlantic. The prob
lem is one of ratification Of peace
and ordinary business processes"
Most Americans will hope that
Mr.. Hoover's Judgment of this
business is sound. We have as a
people burdens enough Of our own
just now, and few of us are in the
mood for further heavy sacrifices
to help our European friends I'M
less they show a willingness, in
ways, to help them
selves. In the old-world countries
which have tried to help them
selves. reconstruction work, in
spits of the delay of peace and
other obstacles, made rather en-
;ouraging progress last year. In
he countries whose peoples refuse
to settle down and work out their
own salvation. the prospect of
avish aid from outside, indefinite
y continued, would tend merely
to postpone their return to work
and sanity and destroy their i'm
pulse to seIf-help.
America-with the possible ex-
oeption of the Senate, which is
holding back the peace-will not
shirk her duties and responsible
lies in respect of this admittedly
business. But as surely
she is not going to put further
burdens upon her own people to
satisfy impossible demands from
abroad. European leaders who
cherish and flourish in the hope
that the United States will tote
Europe's entire load in addition
to its own are fooling themselves
and grieviouslv misleading their

HARVARD PROFESSOR BE.
LIEVES IN FREE SPEECH.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. %
Complete freedom Of speech for
professors is a necessity for the
hearty continuation and growth
of university, is the belief held
by Prof. Zacharia Chafee, Jr., OF
the Harvard Law School. Every
man should have the right, he
says, to express himself, no mat
ter what his profession.
"The teacher,'' said Prof.
Chafee, "must have the privileges
of the doctor, the lawyer and the
rest of the professions. If the
universities are to draw the best
men into their teaching stats they
cannot limit the right Of every
man to investigate and teach III
his own field, or to give express
sion outside the classroom to his
views on whatever subject he
chooses.
"The only limitation on the
freedom of discussion of the
university teacher should be that
he act and speak as a scholar. The
moment the thinking man is re-
stricted in his thought half the
value of his work is destroyed.
Suppression Of any sort is a.
consequent loss. There is a.
evil effect-the question is
brought into greater prominence
than before. and other professors
find themselves afraid to step be-
yond the limits of complete con-
ventionality. For fear of sup-E
preston they dare not carry on
their work nor their investiga-
lions.
Thirty or forty wears ago there
was the same discussion of aca0-
emic freedom as today, but then
he conflict waged about Darwin.
Many earnest persons argued that !
10 college professor should be al !
owed to support the Darwinian
,heory lest the young college man |
Ose his religion. The investiga- i,
ion Of evolution continued; how ,
ever, the Darwinians won, and no
me now contends that the results
nave been fatal to religion or mo-
'ality.
"The college man can bel
to sift the chaff from the
wheat, for, if | know him at all,
he does not believe everything he
S told by any means. If he is not
allowed to hear any radical ideas
n the university he will meet
hem in the world later, when he
las not the same time to stop and
discover which are true and which
alse.
Education is not merely a
natter of pouring in accepted
doctrines, but rather of making
he student brain work. As we
10 not attempt to limit the read
NC of the radical news in the
University, so we should not re-
trict the radical thinker of great
Ibility, who at least provokes dis
.ussion and thought.
in a time Of national stress,
uch as the present, the more sub
ects of Importance that are kept
before the public eye the more
likely we are to reach an ulti-
nately correct and satisfactory
How do those who
want to exclude a given theory
rom university teaching know
hat it is false? They cannot be
iure of it until it is thoroughly
Investigated, and there can be no
more fitting place for such investi-
cation than the universities.
"And after all, the university
gains the greatest support if it
las in its faculty the greatest, the
most fearless men-men who are
lot afraid to give voice to their
beliefs.
