Helbing Germany to Her Feet.

"actual damage inflicted" does not mean
that "the Allied world should go on pretend
ing that Germany can pay $25, 1000, 100000,
when in reality she can pay no more than
ten billion, or that she can pay Immediately
any considerable sum without outside aid,
or that she can be allowed to relapse into
anarchy without endangering the rest OF Eu-
rope"
This recalls that the amount Of the Ger
man indemnity is not fixed in the peace
treaty, and the NORFOLK VIRGINIAN-PE
LOT Ind. Dem.) urges that it be fixed at
once, for "the best interests Of the Allies
demand that Germany should be IN position
to make it's taxation plans and enter upon
it's task of payment at the earliest possible
moment"
There are some fears, however, that con-
sideration for Germany is carrying us too
far. Thus the NEW BEDFORD STANDARD
(Rep) says
"Some critics Of the treaty seem to be
actuated by the belief that 1t is the duty Of
the victors in the war to give the vanquished
all the advantage, even If such generosity
involves serious disadvantage to themselves.
That the French might be resentful if some
thing were done or not done does not in
terest them, but the thought that the Ger
mans might cherish resentment has caused
them poignant grief At the moment
British influence predominates. Germany
having been rendered impotent as against
Great Britain, is to be aided to her feet,
Wn1le the interests or the continental allies
France and Italy, against whom, particularly
France, the German menace is serious, are
being minimiZed."
The BROOKLYN STANDARDIZATION
(Rep.) feels even more strongly about it.
pointing out that Lloyd George when run
ming for reelection promised that Germany
would pay forty billion dollars" and "as soon
as elected admitted that Germany would not
pay anything it says the --latest suggestion
is that German sympathizers in the United
States would be called upon to furnish our
quota of the big loan to Germany" thus re-
vealing Lloyd George as a pro-German
propaganda in the United States" The
NEW YORK TRIBUNE (Rep.) likewise "has
no hope Of silencing the newest form of pro-
German propaganda" The TRIBUNE de-
clares that mo crushing indemnity has
been levied. O.. The reparation bill, so far
as fixed, is >. SIS, 100000, sum it is
agreed Germany is able to pay. When this
amount has been paid over then the inter-
national commission may, if it deems wise,
demand more, but only when there is unani-
nous agreement that it is within Germany's
ability

DECENTRALIZE INDUSTRY
By H. Addington Bruce

~HE more I ponder he great soclal
problems of today the stronger grows
4 nv belief that a first necessary step
in their solution is a checking OF the move
ment of population toward large centers OF
industry.
IF factory owners could be persuaded-or
compelled-not to mass together, but 10
SEPARATE, so that we should have many small
industrial centers, the task of raising the ma
tional level of health and happiness Woulo
at once become infinitely easier.
In fact, unless a decentralization OF In
dustry is brought about it needs no prophet
to foretell an era of steadily increasing dis
content with results that may be calam1-
tous.
The housing problem-so serious to-
day in all our large cities-can only becoma
more serious with the passage Of time II
industry is not decentralized. SO with the
food problem
Whereas, if the tendency were to the crea-
ton of numerous small centers of industry,
herding in tenements might readily be made
thing Of the past, the workers could avoid
exhaustion in getting to and from their
places of work, and to some extent they
could produce their own food.
For in such centers every worker might
have his own garden plot, with time assigned
for it's cultivation, to the betterment of his
health as well as the lowering Of his living
expenses.
AS things now stand, croWd1ng, suffering
and widespread ill-health are inevitable.
Wage raising is only partial remedy-if,
for that matter, it can rightly be called
remedy Education, though Indispensable
cannot possibly bear the fruit it should.
This for the reason that, whatever the
thoroughness with which man is taught
how to live, and whatever his willingness to
live Alright, social conditions obviously must
be such as to enable him to turn his knowl
edge to practical account. And, unmistak-
ably, social conditions at present make health
education futile for multituces.
Because industry has been oVercentralized
multitudes denied the air space and the
light all should have in their homes. NAL
nutrition is forced upon multitudes. In null
titudes fatigue is chronic.
Of course decentralzing of industry would
have it's disadvantages Especially would it
involve a slowing down of commercial activ-
ity, a handicapping of trade.
But trade is not the be-all Of life There
are other things Of vastly more Importance
Trade can be- esteemed above these only at
the nations peril.

RADICAL
By DR.. Frank Crane

by LII. lldllh VI
We protest against being robbed of our
beloved word. People are taking it and
smudging in and calling it nasty, making it
hateful. And it is good word, great prog
ress-pregnant, millennial, ideal. So we are
peeved.
The word is-Radical.
Radical implies going to the root of things,
doctoring diseases and not symptoms. 1t
means the application of intelligence to all
problems, and not being guided by tradition,
prejudice, or expediency 1t means belief
in and utter loyalty to the truth. ..
And see what they've done They have
married radicalism to envy, and made it
sister to idleness, selfishness, and fault-find-
ing. Radicalism does not smash shop win
cisely the penetrating eye that sees such tao
tics are childish, do not pay, and play into
the hands of reactionism.
Radicalism is gentle and patient. Why
not? seeing that it goes to the root, lays hold
on foundations, grips eternal verities. Why
fret? When all-powerful?
Radicalism cannot be impatient and vio-
lent. Only utter radicalism can turn the
other cheek and resist not evil because
it alone has confidence in the cosmic laws,
and knows that eventually the universe spews
out the wrong-doer. 1t is unbelief, panic,
little minds, that rush to use force and blus-
ter. "The half-faith lights the fagot.''
Radicalism is never bitter. How can it
be, since it sucks at the breast of Mother
Nature?
1t is healthy for it will eat no canned
ideas, but only the fresh grown.
1t is tolerant, as it knows we'll that truth
always wins against all corners.
1t is not excitable and violent. 1t is never
wild-eyed and hot-lipped in it's propaganda.
For it knows that it will triumph, being the
truth, and having the cooperation of the
stars. So it can wait. 1t alone can wait.
HE that believeth shall not make haste"
Why do they say, "Such a man is dan
gerous; he is too radical?' Only the radical
is safe. 1t is the apostles of expediency who
need watching. If a man is not radical, why,
count your spoons when he leaves.
All my life I have aspired to be worthy of
the name radical; so I object when the pot
house partisan. or the snug profiteer, or the
social snob, or the sweatshop owner, or the
satisfied Pharisee, or any other of the worms
that infest Outworn institutions or breed in
overfat privilege, use this most honorable of
names an Opprobrious epithet.
Also when the sOur-livered apostle of I'M
rest, the crazy crank, and the angry Hooli-
gan, take my livery of heaven to serve the
devil in.

The Situation TN German.
4 Germany needs must be suspended I'M

UDGMENI on the IreSn revolution IN
Germany needs must be suspended IN
- til palmer developments reveal the
power and purpose of the new regime. 1t is
not yet clear, indeed, whether the events of
the last few days should be described as
revolution or merely revolt. The suspicion
having been abroad for more than a year
that soon or late the monarchists and mill
tarists would strike to regain control, ones
first inclination is to take present occur
rences as well designed if not yet wholly
successful adventure to that end. Some there
are who go further and say that this simply
marks the removal of what was never more
than a piece of camouflage. Thus the Lon
don Daily Mail, after remarking that while
our politicians have been filing us with hot
air. the Junkers have been biding their
time" goes on to declare: "They set up
"dud" Government to sign the treaty Of
peace but when the time comes to carry out
the capitulatons the Junkers again take
charge"
Against this opinion stands the prompt
manifesto of the pew authorities at Berlin
to the effect that they will observe all the
terms and conditions Of the Treaty of Yer
sailles If that promise be empty words, the
fact soon will begin to appear; and the AL
lies scarcely will leave any uncertainties I'M
guarded It remains to be seen, however,
whether the Knapp forces will triumph over
the Ebert Government, or whether IN the
event of their holding the saddle in Prussia
they can carry the rest Of Germany with
t.s.yn 1t is by no means impossible that Ba-
-!1ria, Saxony and the Rhenish States would
break away from any such attempted doml-
nation as that of the old empire.
Thinking Germans can but realize, more
over that a reestablishment Of the sabre
rafting oligarchy which went down in Hin
denburg's defeat would revive the worlds
distrust of their nations motives and the
bitterness which ruthless mlitarism engen-
dered. To arouse such feelings at the very
time when Germany is desperately in need
of outside credits and commerce, would be
the one folly which capable minded people
would most carefully avoid.

British Labor's Sound Decision.
PARTICULARLY happy instance OF
u Labor's turning away from radical

A PARTICULARLY happy luStoASC u
IA Labor,s turning away from radical
a - counselors appears in the recent vote
of tho british Trade Union Congress reject
ing the strike as a means OF bringing dpouI
naturalization Of the coal industry. Inc
miners themselves voted approximately hve
to three in favor of direct action" to OBJ
tain Government ownership and opera
ton. But the rank and file OF workers.
without whose support the miners could
never hope to make Roadway with so sweep
ing an innovation, stood nearly four million
against the proposed strike to little more
than one million favor1ng it.
This does not mean that the Trade Union
lists have abandoned the idea of Matchmaking
the mines: they are ayowedly as strong
as ever for that project. But they lntend
to press it by Constitutional methods. Ihey
prefer the highroad Of democracy to the
blind alleys of Bolshevism. They have Far
lament and they have the ballot pox as
freemen's agencies through which to seek
the ends they desire. If they can win thus,
thew will have won fairly and construct1vely;
mi if not thus, then they cannot win at all
so long as England remains a government
Of the people rather than the government
of class.
The principle which the British Trade
Union Congress so seasonably has Endorsed
has been repeatedly emphasized in America
by Mr. Gompers and leaders Of his sagacious
type. He has had to fight radicalism con-
tinually in recent years, but he has fought
it manfully and as discerning friend of
the rank and file. He has seen how peril
Gus it is to invoke extra-Constitutional or
extra-legal power in efforts to attain an end,
and how unwise it is for any one group or
element to demand more than its substan-
tial rights The American way Of settling
issues is not so speedy or spectacular as the
Russian way, but it is incomparably safer
and surer and incomparably fairer to the
great body of the people
