Germany collapses between the devil
of monarchism and the deep sea of
%bolshevism. If Germany goes the last
hope of saving the European system
disappears. Strong British sentiment
now favors Germany's inclusion in the
League of Nations. There are hopes
that wen France viii agree.
This is a much used expression. but
it is the only visible means Of stop
ping the dissolution Of Europe.
The tragedy is that America is out
side. The sympathy and help of
America alone can save Europe from
utter wreck.
The German crime still is overshad-
owed in the English mind by the muir
der Of Marshal Wilson. Public feeling
against this bastard crime is intense.
Die Hards Strengthened
The campaign of the die-hards has
been powerfully strengthened by it.
The demand for the reputation Of the
treaty grows. The danger. of course,
is that the British government might
be stampeded into violent courses and
that nothing less than a reconquest Of
Ireland would be necessary. Fortu-
nately. the new Free State government
has met the ultimatum from West
minister sensibly. Prompt steps have
been taken against the rebel h%eadquar-
tcrs. The battle for possession of the
Four Courts was promptly began.
The alternative, of course. would be
a reversion to the policy of force on a

violence directed against the Catholic
minority in Ulster is open and noto-
riOus. No adequate steps have been
by the Ulster government to protect
the wretched victims Of intolerance.
Life in Ulster for the Catholics is i'm
possible. There is no apparent remedy
but the deportation Of the whole Cath
Ole population. There has been no
protest from the British to the Ulster
authorities. Craig. the Ulster premier.
has the ~effrontery to deny there is any
fact that it has been in progress for
two years.
Calls Murder BIunder
Wilson was one of the most irrecOn-
cilable Orangemen and one of the chief
authors of the rebel movement OF
1914. His murder was more than a
crime. II was q Dlunuef IL iUlldileu
feeling Of a bad nature. Thirty thous-
and British troops now have been i'm.
ported for the defense of Ulster. If
events go wrong in the south it is not
difficult to surmise what will follow.
But it is very difficult to forecast the
end of such tragic happenings.
Meanwhile. 3 domestic storm has
broken over the head of Lloyd George.
His distribution of titles has outraged
public decency. South Africa formally
has repudiated the peerage granted
!. II. Robinson and threatens to follow
Canada's example and refuse royal hon
ors altogether.
It openly is declared that titles are
sold for cash or party purposes. In
one case a peerage was given a man
who had transferred his business to
South America to dodge taxation.
There is universal Indignation and 50
far the premier has refused to grant
an inquiry, but the matter is too big
for suppression. The house of lords

The sale of honors has been a scandal
for wears but never has it been 50
gross an outrage as under the present
government. No man who respects
himself can any longer afford to accept
a title.
