We were determined. Air. Harvey to the contrary
Notwithstanding "to make the world safe
demoeracy"-at least as responsive 10 the will Of
democratic governments as TO autocrauc govern
ments,-and that that TO be the last war"

obtained under false Iretense. Furthermore.
every American boy sleeping beneath French sor

does not represent the American people by deny
ing this much may represent the adrninistra

What Ambassador Harvey told the Londoners is
exactly the same what Eugene V Debs told his
Ohio audience resulting in his Incarceration in the
federal prison Atlanta. Debs listeners
that the war was an evolution Of business that II
had been brought about by the Vaccinations OF
international trade; that the nations were fighting
for balances power spheres of influence"
not alone In the political but in the commercial
world; that the end the victors would divide
that power and those spheres Of influence and that
field merely being used
cannon fodder" 10 further those selfish interests.
He recognized the high ideals and purposes that
had been expressed by the president but asserted
that those ideals would all be forgotten after the
time excitement and fervor passed
dering how long ordinary men would continue
submit themselves as sacrifices to such selfish
causes. He stated that It made no difference how
sincere the PRESIDENT people might be:
be repudiated after the war was over. They sent
Debs 20 Atlanta, and now they sent Harvey
to London confirm Debs prophecy. We cruelty
the prophet and elevate the fulhlment to high
places
Heretofore we have refrained from comment
upon the appointment of Col. Harvey as ambassador
to the court of St. James The appointment was
so preposterous--in view of the character of the
publcist, his known attitude toward in
ternatonal questions, etc.,-that It seemed like
deliberate case of ramming him down the rubnc
throat, and in the face of such audacity on the
part of the president it seemed useless to COM
ment. AS frequently happens where such a course
IS pursued however is proving its best critic.
All the American people need TO do is watch
Ambassador Harvey himself. If he does any
thing creditable in London. it will be more than
he has done for long time in America.
