AMERICA AND THE EAST.

The only question that In left Is az
to how far American sentiment and
official moral support should go or can
be made to go within the limits that,
rightly or wrongly. We have fixed
upon the foreign policy. Is Il to be
assumed hat our moral support In n
matter IN which we are admittedly
concerned can go no further than a
written assurance officially given out
at Washington Because we declined
to become a member Of the League OF
Nations and because we must abstain
from any Interference in the political
affairs Of Europe. docs IL inevitably
follow that we Cannot and should not
promote 90 participate in a conference
to put an end to this menace OF new
vars, 10 put q check on the bloody
fanaticism of tho Turk, and to keep
the channels of open by
peaceful methods and under strong
authority? Must our moral support
always begin with "a written assurance
and scrupulouely end at best with
shlploads of foodstuffs and clothing for
the outraged. destitute and homeless?
We have n proper patriotic respect
for the tradition OF non-interferonce
In the political affairs of Europe; we
have precious little respect for the
greedy and selfish policies hat in Tho
past three years have divided the Al.
lies and subjected them to the perks
Of a new connagration. but We hav,
our doubts whether IL Is either neces
sary CT wise for US to confne Ameri
can sentiment and concern in such
case TO an official assurance of GU
sympathy for objects that the Turk
have no inclination to respect.
To us 1t docs not seem at all certain
that we can preserve our independents
only by having nothing TO do with

Z OF THE CRISIS.

The American Red Cross, ever alert
to the call OF suffering humanity, has
promptly taken action to meet the
recently created crisis in the Near
East. AT a convention In Washing
ton, this week, attended by 1900 dele
gates. II authorized Chairman John
Barton Payne to draw as he felt nee
essary upon the entire fund now in
the Red Cross treasury, amounting
to about $780, 0O. 900, in relieving the
great wave of distress that now over
whelms the refugees OF the Turkish
Nationalist invasion.
While public sentiment will sustain
the Red Cross in all the details of its
humane work. the present crisis will
deeply stir the American people who
are ever ready 10 give lavishly If
necessary. to sustain this great or
g~anization. We cannot avoid a reali-
cation Of the fact that this crisis, call
ing for the immediate application OF
millions of dollars in aid Of terribly
suffering humanity. was precipitated
by the fiendish barbarism Of the re-
juvenated Turk, permitted by the
devious wiles of European politics &c

Today a great Improvement ie
noted: the report Of the president OF

citation at the Chicago convention this
week shows that confidence Is being
restored and that by the end OF the
year two hundred millions OF new
money will have been expended upon
new tracks and equipment, or twice
the annual outlay for h past twenty
years. This desirable situation haze
been brought about by n policy of
telling the public the facts about the
electric roads.
