No Place for MiIitarism.

I may be superficial in my observa-
ton, or over optimistic. but I do feel
very strongly from my studies of the
people I met in the United States that
militarism has no place in public opin-
ion here. and that in spite OF certain
professional and political fireeaters
who would like to see the United
States whip the world" and adopt
the Prussian code of ethics, the spirit
Of the people as whole fixed to the
ideals of peaceful progress toward a
higher phase of civilization.
1t is perhaps in the position of cap
ital and labor that the greatest dan
ger lies ahead for the United States.
am told by many people l come
across-they are mostly Journalists
who express the point of wisdom that
there is too much intolerance of the
labor point of view in this country, too
much suppression generally of free
speech and free thought, too much

Cannot Hold AIoof.

Well, it seems to me after three or
four weeks of hard travelling and in
cessant conversation lin which / do a
lot of listening) that the people OF the
United States have been learning a
lot about the arithmetic of life during
the last twelve months since l had
the chance OF studying them. The
hardest business men I meet, men
who get down close 20 the realities of
life and trade, are strongest in their
belief, as far as / can test them, that
the United States cannot hold aloof
from the reconstruction of Europe but
must take a large share If not the
leadership in the economic settlement
OF international relations.
/ write this article in the Middle
West, which I am visiting for the first
time. Now 1 have always been told
in New York that the Middle West
stands for a policy of isolation, and
that it is not only Indifferent to Euro
pean affairs but actually hostile to
any cooperation of the United States
with other nations for the purpose of
Strengthening out world problems. I
am surprised therefore to find the

power in the State over the liberty
and rights of the individual. ! am
not in position 10 express any def-
mite opinion on that point, though
occasionally it appears to me that
there is not sufficient recognition OF
the free play of opinion, criticism and
conviction held by minorities, individ-
uals, cranks and rebels.
In England we certainly tolerate the
rebel against authority with patience
and even with pride. We have a
sentimental affection for the rebels,
though in times OF stress we clap them
into Jail. / think our tolerance is our
safety and TO my mind the great Brit
ish coal strike last year ended i'm com
promise rather than violent con-
flict because the labor point of view
as well as the view of capital was
fairly and squarely put to the general
public by the press so that the whole
nation was the arbitrator of the dis
pute.
Anything less than that is going to
drive the labor movement under
ground where it will work with revo-
lutionary bitterness instead of being a
part of the public trend of thought and
action. giving its strength or being
checked in rash action and exagger
ated demands by the verdict OF the
nation as a whole.
Among other impressions / have
gained in these journeyings of mine is
the activity of the women in the in
tellectual leadership of the United
States. 1t is they who are leading
most. thinking most, perhaps in terms
of idealism. Their husbands may
smile at them and go their way. 1t is
the habit of husbands. But their end
will be the proof of their teaching and
their influence.

increased food prices by the establish

Unfortunately. according to the fie-

siderable over-supply. Thus. out OF
100000 cans of rabbit only 80 were
sold in a month. OF 100000 cans Of

sides this, there is a stock of peas sufTi-

SENATE LAGGING BEHIND
Few Fire Eaters Who Would

BY SIR PHILIP GIBBS.

On lecture tour / am now making
i'm the United States from coast to
coast 1 have an opportunity of study
ing the opinions Of many different
types of people in this country regard
ing world affairs and their own politi-
cal and economic position as they
are affected by world conditions. 1t
may therefore be of interest to my
readers to know the impressions that
have gained during these recent
weeks.
OF course. most Of my observations
are derived from conversation with
business men, journalists, manufac-
turers, college professors and students,
lectures and in their clubs.
1t is practically impossible for me
to get first hand knowledge Of the
ideas, prejudices and hopes of the
great mass of the laboring world in
the United States whose state of mind
and passion of soul cannot be left out
of account in gauging the possibili-
ties of the future in the United States.
On the other hand, the people I meet
in the smoking cars of railroad trains,
where speech is frank and free. or at
luncheons and dinners in small towns
or great cities as far apart as Lynch
burg in Virginia and Minneapolis in
Minnesota, or for a few minutes below
the platforms in lecture halls. do rep
resent what / may call the intellectual
leadership of the average mind.
They are the cultured folk, the men
who have built up the great industries.
the women who are reading and
thinking and teaching, the young men
who form the small arena of univer-
sity and college life who will become
the builders of the new order. Their
opinions are knowing, for it is the
ideals and convictions of those classes
that shape the national policy and in
a large measure decide the way Of
leadership.

100000 TO SEE PASSION PLAY.
Rush for Tickets Prompts Guard

OBERAai MERGAU, Germany, Jan. Is
One hundred thousand or more visitors
already have applied for tickets to the
Passion Play TO be staged next summer
from May TO September.
AS soon as it was definitely known
the play would be performed this year
prices here were advanced enormously
and there was apparent a tendency to
hoard everything possible against the
day when the rich foreigners" came.
The Passion Play committee has taken
this situation in hand and win Issue
price lists and seek with all energy to
avoid any "prohteering."
The New York herald., 1922-02-12

exact opposite of that viewpoint
among all the people 1 have met out
here.
These business men of the Middle
West are profoundly conscious that the
present depression of trade in grain,
in cattle and in industry, is Ian gely due
to the downfall Of foreign markets,
They are, / am convinced, prepared
to back policy on the part of their
leaders which will make for interna-
tional peace, first OF ALL and lead, IL
possible, to the rapid recovery of for
eign markets. | find many times an
idealisnl beyond my expectations. They
are thinking naturally OF their own
interests first, but they express hopes
higher than that, and are impatient
with TIE present policy of the Senate
and the political leaders, not because
they have gone too far in handling the
international situations, but because
they seem to hesitate in taking bolder
steps.
The New York herald., 1922-02-12
Think Senate tagging.

For instance, ! find very general
expression of disappointment because
there seems no likelihood of the
United States being represented at the
Genoa conference. Quite number OF
important men have admitted quite
frankly to me that they believe the
Senate is tagging behind the general
march of public opinion and is far
more reactionary in refusing to plunge
right into the problem of international
readjustments than the great mass Of
average citizens. On all sides from
many different types of mon and
women hear the wish that the United
States will deal boldly with the ques-
tons of demobilization of armies. the
possibility of credit to Russia in re-
turn for future trade, and the read
justment of German reparations.
1t is possible that I only get those
opinions of certain groups belonging
to the most liberal thought, but it
seems certain to me that there is no
majority for a policy of stiff and stark
isolation" j am utterly convinced
that the average American mind is set
in the direction of peace, and is inn
patient OF France-too impatient, per-
haps-because of the belief that the
French nation is opposing that spirit
Occasionally / have doubts thrust
upon me in opposition to that opinion.
A certain general who spoke recently
in Minneapolis advocated United
States army of 100000 men and a
state of preparedness for war. am
also told that there is compulsory
military training in many of the col
leges and high schools and that great
numbers of American boys, too young
to get the experience of che last war,
feel that they have missed everything
great and good-the most glorious ad-
venture of life.
That is in line with the experience
| had last year at Yale when I asked
Il group of undergraduates whaH> they
thought of the war, and received as an
answer What war? The last or the
neXt?"--with the additional comment
that the majority of Yale men of the
younger crowd desired the chance of
showing what they could do as in
fantry officers, captains of aircraft,
aud machine gunners. If this is so

civilization, but / can't believe that

'.The eight hour law to-day Is one of
the greatest barriers to European re-
construction" declares Senator Raphael
Georges Levy, economist and financier.
until Europe gets over this idea born
out of the peace conference, the work
of rebuilding may be planned politi-
cally, but it will fail of economic
achievement, which must await the re-
turn Of a policy Of freedom as far as
labor is concerned and the abolition of
the premium being paid upon idleness.
"It Is realized by employers, even by
n growing number of employees, that
the eight hour law is costly expert
ment and failure. Much of Europe's
unrest can be ascribed to this law, for
just when every individual should be
straining every effort toward greater
production and stability, the observ-
ance Of tho eight hour law interferes
with the Continents return to normal
by increasing the cost of production;
and instead Of increasing efficiency, as
its promoters hoped. 1t has resulted in
cessity Of thrusting tens Of thousands
into occupations wherefor they are un-
fitted"
Senator Levy Is taking the leading
role In an effort to repeal the law which
his Investigations in the French busi-
ness world show conclusively as adding
at least 5.ooo. 100000 francs yearly to in
dustrial and commercial transport
budgets. without bringing in a single

this enormous increase in expenses.
Had the authors Of the Treaty Of
Washington Labor Conference clearly
realized the dangers. perhaps they
would have halted before they tried to
leglslate to control such vital prob
lem." NJ. Levy continues. Here in

As to the direct effects Of this code, NJ.
Levy's analysis of the railway situation
alone is convincing. The application of

lows as have met anywhere about
this world, and typical of many others
have met in universities Of Michigan
and Minneapolis.
The little crowd at Grinnell be-
longed to a fraternity of journalists
and aspiring Journalists of whom there
are now $500 in the United States.
Their motto Is Talent, Energy and
Truth and one thing to which they
have pledged themselves solemnly is
TO work for international peace. / re-
ceived the honor of being admitted into
this fraternity and am very proud of
this recognition. During that eve

pressed by the immense possibilities
of this brotherhood of the pen, for
those young men. on the threshold, of
a journalistic career have in their
hands. more than any other group of
men in the United States, the guidance
of public opinion. TIE leadership of
thought which will decide the future
policy of their nation.
They are made OF the right stuff,
and their spirit is out not for war, but
for peace, not for destruction, but
construction, and they have, il / am
judge OF character. fine and noble
qualities which will help the world
forward out Of its present ruins. 1
would like to see this fraternity linked
up with other associations of Journal
lists and literary men in Canada and
Great Britain-perhaps in other coun-
tries. That would make for a power
of international good will which would
be of more Importance than a League
of Nations.
