RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE
DARDANELLES FAILURE.

Somebody blundered' at the
Dardanelles. It was a friehtfully
tragic bunder Thousands of good
British and Australian lives were
sacrificed to official bungling.
Five years after the tragedy the
British Dardanelles commission has
reported 1t has worked very ear,
/ fully. That. too, is characteristic
cally British. It has painfully scrut-
inized every atom OF evidence. It
has used every caution not to be
swayed by prejudice. 1t has been
determined to make its findings
final, verdict from which history
can be written Now comes the re-
port and the somebody, or rather
the somebodies. who blundered are
appraised. disseeted, embalmed and
pigeonholed. Posterity can lock
back to the report and learn just
how it all happened.
There is not the least effort to
spare the feelings Of the men who
were responsible for this most trag-
ic chapter OF the war. Sir Ian Ham,
ilton, Sir Frederick Stopford Maj.
Gen. Stwell, Maj. Gen. Hammersly,
and other sirs and major generals
are informed Of their shortcomings
in the spassionate language Of the
historian discussing a chapter 2f
a remote past. The men who blum
dered are spared no item of their
laundering. sponsibility IS nicely
weighed and impartially distributed.
Not one Of the generals is given a
clfln bill Hamilton, because he
was chief draws the chief censure.
Historians will find the report in
teresting reading. Every excuse of
Hamilton and HamiIton's subordi-
mates is analyzed to its minutest
terms. A few are passed as good;
most are described as buneombe
" misrepresentation. No Tennyson
has immortalized the somebody of
Galliopoli. but the blunder was so
colossal that it requires no laur-
ea3e's song The lesser bunglers
may be forgotten, but the name Of

SOVIET POLICY

Testifying before a Senate com

that it could be maia aimed only

situated, the SOVIET Republic he
says, does not care at present"

There is virtue in the words "dt
present" If Mr.. Martens tells the
truth the somersault executed by
Lenino and Trotzl,y in their for
eign policy is as spectacular as that
witnessed in their Industrial pro-
gramme which transformed Rus
sian workers overnight from com
rades To slaves Of an administering
state. Taking the Ambassador" at

deny that until recently the instruc.
