0NE wonders whether President
~ Harding is not already repenting
his Christmas mercy In freeing Eugene
Debs from prison. From the moment
of his release the Socialist leader has
been emitting a steady stream Of
sentimental bunk. disgusting to. all
save those who believe. like Debs,
that all prisons should be abolished,
that lawbreakers should :. be petted
instead Of punished, and that the
proletariat can do no wrong. With
the expressed intention Of starting out
to obtain from every man, woman
and child in the world a pledge never
to take up arms, he yet gives ex.
travagant praise to the Russian revo.
lutionists, who have slain hundreds CT
thousands.
@ ENATOR MCCORMICK and his as
- sociates Of the committee which
congress sent to investigate conditions
in Haiti will recommend occupation
of the island by American marines as
necessary to the peace and develop
ment Of the island. It will also ask
the appointment Of an American high
commissioner to coordinate and super
wise the work Of the American admin
istratOrs created by the treaty of
1915, and expedition In making the
proposed new loan 50 that the debt
held in Europe may be discharged on
advantageous terms and the claims
Of Haitians against their government
satisfied. One Of the greatest needs Of
the island, says Senator Mccormick,
is good roads. This includes the re-
public Of Santo Domingo, where also
the committee holds the American oc-
cupation must be continued for the
present.
CHILE last week accepted Peru's
~ proposal that the two govern
ments send plenipotentiaries to Wash
ington to continue negotiations for a
settlement Of their disputes, and Peru
thea suggested that each nation first
cable to Secretary Hughes asking the
consent Of the United States for hold
ing the negotiations in Washington.
and also asking that President Hard
ing act as final arbitrator Of all diff
ferences between the two countries,
no appeal from his decisions being al
lowed. Bolivia ID insisting that Chile
give her IN outlet to the Pacific, and
Peru offers her help In settling that
question. SO the war cloud that has
been hanging ever the west coast Of
South America Is getting thinner
