BACK in tn. rsnehe. by Christmas" /. Europe. slogan
The Washington times., 1922-07-14

THERE is a Latin motto: "Let
justice be done, though the
i heavens fall" Its spirit is
the essence of democracy.
1t is pertinent to recall this motto
in considering the attitude Of
our Government toward the prop
erty of enemy aliens that was seized
by us at the beginning of the war.
The intent of the American people
has always been to restore such
property to its owners when the
war was over.
President Wilson's Alien Prop
erty Custodian seized thousands of
German patents covering dyes,
chemicals and other manufactures.
Instead of holding them in trust
he sold them to an American cor
poration at a lower price than
their real value. The fact that he
afterward became head of this cor
poration, while it may, to some
minds, give the transaction a sinis-
ter aspect, has no direct bearing
upon the legality or the ethics of
the matter.
President Harding is to be highly
commended for having ordered an
investigation of this transaction and
the restoration of these patents to
their right owners, without loss
to them.
We are responsible for our own
laws and we must be just, under
those laws, though the heavens
fall. We must not try to prevent
crime by committing a crime.
The danger of our being de-
stroyed by foreign patents is re-
mote and shadowy. The danger
of permitting public officials to
tamper with our laws and our good
faith is real, close at hand and
looms big.

3 Billions
in Ships

v6yHIS is dictated into a phono-
graph, going up the Hudson
j River by Newburgh. Anchored
near on the left bank are hundreds
and hundreds of enormous iron
ships. They are some of the ships
built in the fever of war excite
ment.
THREE THOUSAND MILLION
DOLLARS were taken from the
pockets of American people and put
into these ships built in the most ex-
pensNe way at the most expensive
time.
And there they lie, only one lit
tie group of the total going to
waste, but enough ships in that one
group to establish a great carrying
system, and to relieve us of imme-
diate anxiety in the event OF an
other war.
Bear in mind that, barring mir
acles, another war will come. We
probably shall not be in it at first,
but we cannot escape it's effects.
The ships of other nations will be
involved and tied up. Our coun-
try, our manufacturers and farmers
will depend on shipping.
The question for the American
people to decide is F'Shall these
ships be kept running, or shall
they go to waste
Shall this nation be taxed three
thousand millions or five thousand
millions more to build more ships
to go to waste in their turnf
Nothing could be more repulsive
to American ideas than subsidy,
asking all the people to help the
enterprise of a few. But only a
ship subsidy will solve the ship
problem. And in this case it is
not merely a subsidy to enable a
small group to do business. 1t is
the spending of a small amount of
money by the people to make them
safe in another war and to save
them from gigantic expense in an
other war and the wrecking Of
three billions already spent.
Those that believe in keeping
American ships and the American
flag afloat, realizing that a subsidy
alone will do it, should write their
opinion to their Senators and their
Congressman.

RepdrdtiOns

Y EADING Americans want the
1. best for France. They deplore
Che apparent intention of
French politicians to keep Germany
PROSTATE by insisting upon impos-
sible reparations terms. French
business leaders have little SYM
pathy with their politicians.
The amount that Germany can
pay is a matter of business calcula-
tion, not of political expediency.
The Reparations Commission
asked a group of eminent interna-
tional bankers, including a repre-
sentative of this country, to make
that calculation. They did. The
French government was not willing
to accept a reasonable amount of
real German money instead Of a
vast amount of imaginary German
money.
So the bankers dispersed. They
refused to grant loan to Germany,
to be used in paying France, be-
cause France would not reduce the
German indemnity to a point where
the German people would "spit on
their hands" and go to work with
the certainty of being able to re-
pay both loan and indemnity.
The same conditions that called
the first bankers meeting at Paris
will call others. In the end, bus
mess men must prevail in the set
tlement of this business problem.
This is the voice of thinking
America. We believe it finds a
ready echo in thinking France.
The Washington times., 1922-07-14

THE report of Walter Laidlaw,
registrar of the Clergy Club
i of New York and special
agent of the Census Bureau of
Washington, shows that the increase
of church membership is greater
than the gain in population in the
United States.
In this country religious organ
izations have to make good or go
down. The State does not support
any of them.
Mr.. Laidlaw thinks that because
of this fact the North American
continent will cast the horoscope of
religion for the whole of humanity.
Whatever survives and thrives here
will probably survive and thrive in
the world at large.
Religion in America could not
carry on for a day on its endow-
ment. It lives from hand to mouth,
and that is the reason why its prog
ress is real and not artificial.
Summarizing some of the results
of this report, we note that the peo-
pie Of America have invested over
one and a half billion dollars in
church property.
Without force or power of law
religion has collected some two bill
lion dollars of free will offering
for its purposes.
According to the statistics, it is
growing. In 1906 membership in
religious bodies was forty and four
tenths per cent Of the population.
In December, 1916, the percentage
had risen to forty-bne and three
tenths per cent. In December, 1921,
to forty-two per cent.
That the growth of religion Is
steadily spreading among intelli-
gent adults, and is not wholly de-
pendent upon the normal increase
of families, is proved by the fact
that the group of churches which
grows by admitting adult members
grew faster from 1905 to 1915 than
the group Of churches that count all
baptized children as members.

-Four Roads in One

TOUR railroads, the Glover Leaf
road, so-called, will be united
i into one system, greater than
the Pennsylvania Railroad. This
was officially announced, and the
announcement, for the moment, is
welcome. What the country needs
is economical management; four
roads united, could; if they would,
give better service for less money.
Under private ownership, of course,
the effort will be to give better
dividends from the same service.
Eventually, and the day is not
farther off than the first really big
popular movement in the United
States, all Of the roads will be
united, all of the people will own
them.
