from the point; the Supreme Counci, ,s governed
by considerations Of high politcss the nvestigat-
Ing commission was governed by the facts which
it ascertained on the grounds.
Does Mr.. Cassavetes know that at the present
moment the Greek and Turkish troops are drawn
up on opposite sides Of. intrenchments in Asia
Minor? II SO, he must also he aware that it was
the actions of the Greek forces in and behind
Smyrna which crystallized the Turkish national
st sentiment into action and altered the attitude
OF all Turks from one Of defence of their own
Eeaped-up atrocities to one Of accusation against
Greece, thus enabling them to appeal to the
world as victims Of violence instead of as viola
tors of all law. Greece, all unintentionally, will
be in good part responsible if the Powers so far
affront civilization as to continue the Ottoman
Empire.
Apparently the friends of Greece like the
friends Of Armenia and of other PEOPLES at issue
in the Levant, are being led sstray by propa
ganda which circuates so freely that the need for
unbiased and fearless reports like the HERA1ps is
greatly accentuated. Ns
The conduct Of the oppressed races which have
been suddenly delivered, temporarily, at least,
from the Turkish power, may be more easily ex-
planned than excused. They hare for centuries
been subject to injustice indignity and atrocity
The instinct for reprisal is indigenous to the very
soil OF this region Of endless strife Their code
not that of The Hague; it rather is that of Mount
sinai-"an eye for an eye. a tooth for a tooth"
This ancient Semitic fashion still prevails over the
Levant and, added to the still dominant usages
OF old European diplomacy, 1t unquestionably is
making difficult any settlement Of the Near East
ern question that will eliminate the Turkish EN-
pire and introduce good win and concord among
the diverse peoples of this immemorial cradle of
war. i

THE FLY IN THE OINTMENT.

Commenting on the tentative report Of the Pres
ident's second Industrial Conference Mr.. Samuel
Gompers says that "the failure of the conference
to recognize definitely the organizations Of work
ers-trades unions--as the basis Of representation
is fatal omission" Mr.. Frank Morrison secre-
tnry Of the American Federation Of Labor noting
the absence OF reference to the necessity for or
ganizations of workers. said that ''any one who
viii avert or postpone Industrial conflicts cannot
ignore these principles
This is our old friend collective bargaining" II
was the rock which the Presidents first In
dustrial Conference was wrecked, IL is the rock
which threatens to wreck the second Industrial
Conference. If the American Federation Of Labor
insists upon the sort of collective bargaining which
involves making trades with walking delegates
having no relation whatever with the institution
in question. all industrial conferences will fail
The second conference realized this and refused
to embody that sort Of collective bargaining I'm its
tentative plan.
Judge Gary reflected the opinion OF employers
Of labor when he said that any institution is will
ing to go to almost any length in collectively treat
ing or bargaining with ts own employees. If the
American Federation OF Labor will indorse that
sort Of collective bargaining a satisfactory plan
may be developed to overcome the difficulty all
three factors in the problem face
Since the plan contemplates no compulsory ar
bitration the enforcement of an arbitration
boards decree the American Federation of Labor
cannot find fault Right here employers might find
ample ground for complaint since decree of such
an arbitration board would amount to nothing hut
a contract. Yet no machinery IL provided for the
enforcement Of such contract In fact. Mr.
Gornpers says that any plan must avoid ccnrui-
sor, fssturss."

THRIFT WEEK.

January II, the anniversary Of the birth of Ben
jamin Franklin. is set as the date to begin spe-
cial programme, of national economic activity Jan
uary II to January "a will be Thrift Week. The
movement is indorsed by the Savings Division Of
the Treasury Department, the American Bankers
Association, the National Association of Real Es-
tate Boards, the Retail Credit Mems Association
and other national organizations related to the
principal lines Of industry and commerce
The purpose Of the movement Is to educate
communities on the important service which
financial institutions render. to conserve through
the banking institutions the educational value Of
the various government war loan campaigns, to
combat the American habit Of extravaganza by
organizing savings clubs In industrial plants, to
teach sound economic doctrines, to protect people
from wildcat schemes, to help the government sell
Thrift and War Savings Stamps, to cultivate a
broad conception Of thrift to encourage individu-
ais to have a bank account to encourage them to
own property, to increase the appreciation Of re-
wards Of capital to help men to think straight to
help men and boys to live wel-rounded lives and
to develop character.
The programme Of Thrift Week covers seven i'm
portant topics vitality related to good citizenship
and pure Americanism. 1t includes talks and SER
mons, practical demonstrations in business mat
ters thrift, saving and the accumulation Of prop
erty. 1t is obvious there two great objects to
be accomplished by this nationwide effort-one
is to battle with the false and dangerous social
and economic ideas sown in the minds Of the un-
thinking the osher IL TO make every citizen capi-
talist or owner of property. When every Ameri-
can citizen by thrift and economy becomes an
owner of property there will be no room for the
BOlshevist and socialist anti-capitalist idea.

RUSSIANS OUR FRIENDS.

To TIE EpIToR OF THE EERALD:-
"Why help Russian" is the question asked
by "E. r. - in the HERALD of Decen1-
ber 27. Does he not know that ever since
the United States first became a nation
Russia has been a good friend to Amer
lea?
During the Revolution the Empress
Catherine of Russia refused to send troops
to England for use in the American col
onies. During the civil war the Tsar sent
fleet to New York and placed it at the
disposal of President Lincoln. In tho
Alaskan boundary dispute and In the
question of the open door in China, Rus
sia sided with the United States.
Does 'E. r. j." think that all Russians
are Bolsheviki? Does he not know that
patriotic Russians are fighting the Boil
sheviki with every weapon at their COM
mand? Good Russians are friends Of
America and good Americans should be
friends Of Russia. If we will help Russia
to stop Red propaganda at home there
will be less danger of trouble In this
country.
The bazaar mentioned by "E. r. J." was
held by the American Central Committee
for Russian Relief. of which Charles W.
Eliot is president and which was organ
lied by the Princess Cantacuzene. who
is the granddaughter of General Grant.
The committee wants TO send supplies
and food to the suffering people who have
been driven from their homes by the Red
army. II we will help real Russians now.
in Their hour of need they will continue
to be our friends i'm the future. w. z.

Mr.. Tyler bennett Elucidates Points
Concerning the Interchurcli
World Movement.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD -
Rachel Kollocl1 McDowell's exceIIent
annual review of the religious world in
last Sundays HERALD contained certain
Inaccuracies In regard to the Interchurcn
World Movement OF North America
which, with your permission. we would
like TO correct through your columns.
In the first place, II is inaccurate to call
the movement merger of practically
all OF the foreign and home mission boards
and other agencies of all the Protestart
churches" No board or other agency ii,
given up any of its autonomy through CO.
operation in the movement The church
agencies have united their efforts but
not themselves
1t follows that the movement Is not "a
colossal step toward church unity" All
the responsible leaders In the movement
dlsclaim church unity as their object.
The movement has deliberately disen-
Gagged itself from the several movements
to unite the churches, and il contains
as consequence many men and women
who do believe in the union of churches
and many who do not This is one of the
principal sources of strength of the move
support from many whose conscience Is
against any union of creeds but who
feel strongly the need of joint Christian
effort against the evils about us.
The statement that the Interchurch
budget" is 500 600 900 a year is unfor-
tunate. I presume the writer means by
budget some amount the cooperating
church agencies will ask of the people.
There is no one today who can state what
this amount will be. IT may be more than
$500, 100000 or II may be less. The final
BUDGET will be decided bv the cooperating
agencies. largely through the World Sur
vey Conference at Atlantic City January
7-l0; In that conference one Thousand
delegates from al parts OF the United
States will consider the worldwide survey
made this year by the Tnterchurch Move
ment. On the facts disclosed 1t will base
n joint budget. which shall be as adequate
to the needs disclosed as the resources
Of those expected to support the work can
meet. TYLER DENNETT.

BOLSHEVIST ENVOY NEXT.

To THE EDIToR OF THE HERALD
If England and France recognize the
Soviet government in Russia and termi-
nate the blockade no doubt America
will join in that disgraceful fiasco, and
then the triumph Of Bolshevism will be
assured. 1t does not follow that our
government has awakened to the seri-
BUSINESS OF the situation because Alex
ander Berkman and Emma Goldman
have been deported. Emma Goldman's
prediction that she and Berkman will
return here as officials Of the Bolshevik
government may prove true within six
months. The American people need a
jolt of that kind to open their eyes.
Russia has not asked for fighting
men. but has repeatedly said that what
she needed was arms. ammunition and
military stores.
Attorney General Palmer tells us that
"Bolshevism advocates the destruction
of all ownership in property. the de-
struction of all religion and belief In
God. 1t is a movement organized
against democracy and in favor Of the
power of the few built by force"
Still, in the face OF this fact, England,
France and the United States have
with little concern allowed Kolchak,
Denekine. Ludenich and their armies to
be defeated.
Look out now for the arrival Of a
Bolshevik ambassador, military attache.
naval attache and consuls.

GREEKS IN AMERICA PROTEST.

The HERALD's special correspondent in the Near
East has won that distinction, not uncommonly be-
slowed upon impartial newspaper men, Of having
been charged with partisanship by all or most of
the rival racial groups whose dongs he has chron-
icled, ranging from the French and the British and
the Italians through the list to Turks, Armenians,
Greeks, Zionists and Egyptians. Even certain
American officials abroad complain of his candor
respecting them
The truth is that no man can write fully and
frankly about conditions in the troubled Near East
without hurting the feelings OF partisans Of the
various factors to that complex problem. How
ever distressing IL may be to disturb the sensibili-
ties Of any group OF persons who are not them
selves conversant with the facts and so are moved
chiefly by considerations of sympathy. Il is far
more serious offence to withhold essential facts
from the world at large. America especially needs
to know the truth. and the whole truth, concerning
present conditions in that unsettled corner Of the
earth where the nations are asking her TO accept
active participation in government.
In another column the vice president Of the
League OF Friends OF Greece in America complains
that special correspondent has dealt linkindly
with the Greeks in and about Smyrna. The letter
gives a version Of the so-called Greek massacres"
that greatly varies from that which our corre-
spondent wrote from Turkey itself We do not
mean to he unkind to the entirely laudable organi-
zatlon represented by Mr.. Cassavetes when we re-
mark that IL Is interested chiefly in seeing one side
of the case. whereas the HERALD has no interest
to serve c., t to publish fairly the facts If Mr..
Cassavetes viii consult American eye-witnesses to
the events In Smyrna secure copy of the report
of the interaled commission which investigated
them he will find that our published statement was
authoritative.

A GOOD WORK.

The nation owes debt Of gratitude to A.
Mitchell Palmer, Attorney General Of the United
States, and William J. Flynn, chief of the depart
ments Secret Service force for the extraordinarily
well planned and executed roundup of REDS"
Friday night. Call them communists anarchists,
l. W. WIS or what one will in the end they all
come under the head Of "Reds" and all are OBJ
sessed with single idea, the tearing down of law
fuL orderly government and the setting up in it's
place OF something they call soviets or the rule of
workers. in the operation Of which their own
notions are somewhat vague
menace to the peace and prosperity Of the
country for years, these pests became positive
danger to its fundamental institutions with the
opportunities offered them in the industrial unrest
that naturally followed the war period They
were prepared to go to any lengths to accomplish
general disorder and the destruction of existing IN
stitutons Their boldness during the last few
weeks bas been appalling. They have scarcely
taken pains to cover up their activities and their
lists Of members with copies Of the vicious doc
trines to which they subscribe were found lying
around loose in the places raided by the federal
agents. .,l 81.
With thousands Of them now in custody It is
fair to assume that the worst have been captured.
And now let there be mawkish sentimentaty
about these rascals prattng Of the sacred right
Of free speech from parlor socialists and others Of
that ilk! Soviet Ark No. 1 is well on the way to
Esthonia and the sooner half dozen other arks
are on the way with the scum gathered in by the
Department Of Justice as cargo the better.
There is just one blot on the achievement Of Fri
day night In the face Of a courteous request,
coupled with n warning Of what was impending,
Maclay Hoyne. States Attorney, conducted raid
Of his own on "Reds" in Chicago twenty-four hours
before the scheduled time for the government raid
It was sheer luck only that this raid did not sound
a warning to "Reds' all over the country and
utterly destroy the carefully weaved nets OF Chief
Flynn and his associates. This would seem to be
clear for action by Governor Lowden of
Illinois. T.
When Mr.. Flynn was appointed head of the De-
partment OF Justice Secret Service force last June
the HERALD said that here was a clear case Of the
right man in the right place The events Of Friday
night seem to have sustained that Judgment.
