Why WE WENT TO WAR.

Vice-President Marshall apolgized time ago
for not having realized quickly enough that the Un-
tied States couldn't hope to keep out of the great
war Before April, 1917, he opposed participation
Now the Vice-Presdent goes still further and
shows how radically his views have changed by say
ing in his recent letter: "'We in the from
the very moment of it's European beginning, be-
cause it affected internal affairs"
In this statement-true, though somewhat exag
gerated for rhetorical etfect-Mr Marshall ignores
the Administ 'atoa theory OF American partcipa-
ton in the war He seems to reject the idea that
the United Statse went to war primarily to make the
world safe for democracy, to establish league of
nations to restore the freedom of the seas or to cru
SADIE in general in behalf of humanity.
The Vce-President is right-so far as formal rec
ord is concerned The United States made war on
Germany for elf-protecton-in orGe: to maintain
national rights and interests which Germany had
challenged. And it was obvious from the day the
Lusitania was sunk that the German challenge could
not be lodged or evaded.
President Wilson frequently set forth what he
called the war aims of the United States. But the
President hadn't the power to declare Coh-
gress alone>had that power, and it alone was COM
petent to state why America took up arms against
Germany. 1t did do this in the resolution declar"
ing war; passed on April 6, 1917. This resolution
read:
"Whereas, the Imperial German government has
committed repeated acts of against the govern
ment and people of the United States of Amreica;
therefore be it
"Resolved by the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives of the United States of America in Con-
gress assembled that the state of war between the
United States and the Imperial German government
which has thus been thrust the United States is
hereby formally declared"
Addressing Congress on April 2, 1917, the Presi
dent himself opposed declaration of against
Germany's allies on the ground they had not at
tackled us. "I have said nothing of the govern
ments allied with the imperial government of Ger
many because they have not made war upon US or
challenged us to defend our rights and honor"
That is the record 1t has been obscured by null
tifarious expressions of the Presidents personal
views and war aims. But Mr.. Marshalls view is
historically sound The United States went to
with Germany to defend its own national rights and
interests but, having gone in to achieve partcu-
lar end it, of course, had the right when making
peace to ask for guarantees that would safeguard
against not only the recurrence of particular evils
but evils cognate them.-New York Tribune.

In 1915 and made a report early ir
November, 1919, in the form of a pro-
posed zoning ordinance. This provided
for separate regulations of the use to
which a building could be put, of the
area Of lot which could be covered. and
Of the height to which it could be
erected. For the purpose OF defining
these regulations, there were outlined
three groups of districts, use. area and
height district, each group covering
the entirc city area. .
New buildings-for it was not pro :
posed to make the regulations retro :
three sets of maps. Under the use reg :
nlatious there are proposed four Glasses
Of districts: Residential, Commercial,
industrial and unrestricted districts.
Under the area regulations there are
five classes, in which the area of the
lot that may be covered by the build
ing varies progressively from 80 to Of
per cent. The height districts are also
Ave in number. In them the permitted
building height varies from one to three
times the street width, subject to q
maximum height limit. and with an ad
ditional allowance II the building is sci
back from the. street line.
s'Unquestionably all Of our citizens
are interested in knowing in what

Hence the proposed ordinance SHOULD
