The March
of EUentS
n AID Lord Curzon a few days

~ ago:
England and america Mill never
fight again. The bonds of Anglo
American friendship are indissoiuble."
Very pretty sentiment, indeed.
One can imagine the Pilgrims
applauding vociferously. And talk
ing of the uselessness of American
naval preparedness at the same time.
But the plain, blunt, unsentimental
American recalls that in 1912 Mr..
Lloyd George, in a speech in the
Guildhall, declared that England
was not jealous of ,Germany's naval
and commercial growth, and that
Anglo Teutonic friendship would
long endure, and that Lord Haldane,
in 1913, declared that war between
Germany and England was "un-
thinkable.'' ...
We know from Lord Haldane's
own boast that at that very time
he had completed the expeditionary
force with which England was to re-
enforce the French and Russian joint
war upon Germany and Austria, and
we also know from Lloyd George 3
many congratulatory, speeches how
much value he puts upon the de-
struction of Germany's mercantile
marine and competitive trade in the
world markets. &c.,.
Fine words butter no parsnips-
Sentimentaities protect no nations.
A supreme navy ready for use is
the only assurance of safety. Eng
land has always acted and still acts
accordingly.
The declaration of peace and the
withdrawal of troops from Germany
ought to take US out of Europe for
good.
We want no more adventures
overseas. Let Don Quixote fight
windmills and academicians chase
rainbows. But for the rest of us,
plain horse sense and minding our
own business will hereafter suffice.
Our financial losses are too
enormous, and we have too many
young men in hospitals, insane asy-
lums and graves to make us want to
repeat the experiment of mixing in
another European war.
We ought to buckle down to our
American business, drop this hands
across-the-sea nonsense, turn deaf
ears to the propaganda that is
nolsier than ever, prepare to whip
anything on earth and then 60 on
about our peaceable affairs, modest
ing no nation, hating no nation, al
lying ourselves with no nation and
fearing no nation. That's the COM
mon sense Of the situation.
The unconditional release of
Arthur Griffith and Prof. John Mac
Neil seems to foreshadow the aban-
donment of the futile and savage
policy of Sir Hamar Greenwood.
That fanatic has had free hand to
burn, kill and terrorize and has
gained nothing except infamy for
himself and his government.
The determination of the Irish
people to be free was never more
fixed, the willingness of the Irish
people to endure and to fight on
was never so whole hearted and the
prospects of Irish freedom were
never so hopeful as they are now,
after months of this Greenwood's
brutal rule.
It is evident that I1ovd Georuo ;s

Hereafter every letter will begin
"My Dear Sir" or "My Dear
Madam" and be subscribed "Sin-
cerely yours"
1t is a magnificent idea. 1t will
bring us all in closer touch with our
dear Government. Children will cry
for it. If you complain to Post
master General Will 81. Hays that
you posted a letter in Asbury Park,
N. j., on Monday and that it did
not reach it's destination until
Wednesday, you will probably re-
ceive a reply like this:
~Dear Mr. Blink:
Fl have received your complaint and
thank yoa for il have fred the
postmastsrs Of Nsw York and Asbury
Park. Is there anything else can do
for youi Hon are you fesiing these
daysi
Sincerely yours,
"P. S.-Remember me to Mrs.
Blink"
We respectfully suggest to the
President that he instruct the other

sending ont letters like this:

paid. You are hereby notified that
lyon are fined $1,000 and that you are
going to jail for one year."
How much more satisfactory it
would be if he followed this form:
"Dedr BM-In looking over the
checks that received for income tax
! find thai yours is missing. This mast
be an oversight. Please send Il along
at your convenience. The income tax
is an AWFUL nuisance, isn't Il?
isn't it rotten weather that we're
having How is your supply holding
out2 Regards to the boys"
Secretary of State Charles E.
Hughes might even loosen up the
formal correspondence of the State
Department. Thus, instead of cabling
to one Of our ambassadors:
"Repesentdtons have been made
that You committed an indiscretion,"
he might say: $50
Dear George-You poor fish! Why
did you spill the beans? They're
driving Warren and me unity NTH
their complaints about You. For the
love of Mike, cut ont. Love to the
boys.

A cheerful, familiar, epistolary
style cannot fail to establish closer
relations between the people and
their Government. 1t is said that
familiarity breeds contempt. All,
