LEFT RECORD OF KINDNESS.
A few weeks after our soldiers
had gone into Germany as a part
OF the army Of occupation 1 trav-
> eled over the line of march they
had passed over on their way to
Coblenz. They were victorious
soldiers going to dictate to a van
quished country. History is re-
plete with what soldiers under such
circumstances have left in their
trail-a record of taking what
they wanted, often in an offensive
and domineering way; OF q spirit
best expressed in "woe to the con-
quered;" and sometimes Of wanton
destruction of the property and
rights Of those who were once their
enemies.
But it was very different with
our soldiers who marched from
France through Luxembourg and
on to their headquarters at Co
blenz and Neuwied. In their trail
they left happy children who ex.
pected them to be ogres and found
them friendly, the dispensers of
candy and bread.
WON LOVE OF CHILDREN.
When the American soldiers
reached their outposts in Germany
the people were sullen and sus
picious. They resented their com
ing. They had heard that they
were rough and uncouth and would
find pleasure in tormenting those

under them. They had to be toll
Grated for Germany was conquer
ed territory. But no welcome
awaited them. The grown folks
held aloof and showed their re-
sentiment by not even looking at
them as they passed.
But children are children the
world over. And there is not 80
much difference in fathers and
brothers Of nations at war. 1t
was not long before the children
were looking curiously at the
American soldiers to see if they
had horns. They found that they
had no horns but tender hearts,
and there sprang up a friendship
between the men in khaki and the
little German children, many OF
whom had not seen any candy in
four years. They went home and
told their parents how good the
conquering invaders were to them.
That melted the feeling Of hostil-
ity and soon the German people
came to regard the soldiers quar-
tered over them as their friends.
A SIGHT TO REMEMBER.
When / was in Coblenz it was
my pleasure to accept the inVi-
tation of several companies of
marines on duty in the Ameri-
can sector. There were poor
German families who were in
want and I learned that quietly
American marines were relieving
their necessity.
It was sight never to be for
gotten to see marines who at
Chateau hierry had charged in
the nests Of sunners and had
lost so per cent OF their num-
bers in killed and wounded feed
ing the families, perhaps, of the
very German soldiers who had
shot down. their comrades. Brave
men fight hard but when the
fighting is over they do not hate

Coblenz sector reminded me OF

to come to the United States
with their husbands?
When the soldiers came home
in 1919 they were met in New
York by their proud countrymen,
who welcomed them with the,
honors reserved for victorious
men of mighty army in the
greatest war in the tide Of time.
The same welcome, long delayed,
is the portion Of those who come
back four years later. Many OF
them served in the fiery, trial OF
war and won decorations and
honors.
A NEW HIGH RECORD.
But these men, coming from
Germany after long occupation
of a former enemy country, have
won a place for American soldiers
which has never before been
awarded to soldiers of occupa-
ton. It is natural to hate
soldiers quartered on a defeated
people. 1t is unnatural to come
to love them and hate to see
them leave.
What performed the miracle
of changing German sullenness and
German suspicion of the Ameri-
can soldiers into regard and con-
fidence? It was this and this
" only: America went to war with
out hate of any country or any
people.
The soldiers hated Prussian
militarism and drowning OF help
less people Wy the brutal German
government. They hated the pol
icy of autocracy and rule by
force. But they did not hate the
German soldier even as duty to
Justice and world peace compelled
them to fight and kill them.
Moreover, they had engaged in

store our heavy industries. This
Is still music Of the future how

able to appropriate for their re-

On the whole. however. I think
myself justified in concluding that
the new economic policy has
brought US positive gains. We
have shown that we can engage
IN commerce az state, and at
least maintain manufacturing and
agriculture ct their present level
and make slow progress.
For five years we have been
defending the power Of the work
ing class, and this in war time.

on the. whole, should be for US.
They understood that behind the

they hate above everything else in
the world. This, however. does not
mean q great deal; it only, means
an issue as to whether peasants
or landlords were to run things.
That is much too little for us.
You understand that we seized the
government for the workers; and
that our aim is to erect a Socialist
society with the help OF the work
ers. Consequently, the all-import-
ant question for US was to lay
the economic foundations Of a so
cialist society. We could not do
it outright, and SO we have tried
to do it indirectly.
