It IS certain that the American
army made itself as little unwelcome
70 the citizens OF the Rhine prov
ince as any army OF occupation could
possibly be. No such army, at its
best can be looked upon by the ma
tives as particularly desirable visi-
tors In any country. Nevertheless,
the Germans must have recognized
what General Allen calls our army's
'enviable record for justice, fairness
and military excellence" This, as
General Allen hopes, will in days to
come, prevent anJ feelings of Bit
tsrness of rancor toward us in the
minds OF those among whom we have
lived and will mark a forward step
n the execution OF genuine peace"
The heart OF the American soldiers
may not be full OF unmfxed Joy in
having to turn their faces toward
home, but they may be sure that
ss-air own country IS proud of the
fine way in which they behaved IN
peace as well as in war

nouRTING DEMOCRACY

From the Pittsburgh Dispatche -.
There seems TO be q wave OF doubt
ing democracy among college presi
dents. The latest Is President
Alexander Meikiejohn, Of America,
who. observing that America Is at
tempting something never attempted
before and seeming impossible
building successful democracy
without a privileged class de-
clares Il Will be the biggest achieve
ment ever realized III It's realization
is possible" The chances for IT'S
success, he added, depend on every
mans willingness to try 10 under
stand human life in its entirety. And

Is not supreme. gloomfly predicted
that before the close Of the next
decade the people Of the United
States must choose between the al
tentative OF restricting the right Of
citizenship or of accepting a lower
standard OF civilization and of living
for Americans" Yet the bulk Of
Americans. having faith IN our de-
mocracy, are optimistic enough 70
believe that day by day, II not in
every way, still by and large, we
are getting better and better and will
manage TO pull through, as we al

THE BROTHERHOOD

ltE BtNOIhtINbOOU
IN BANKING.
From the New York Herald.
The purchase by the Brotherhood

interest In the Empire Trust Com
pany, and the Brothsrh oodSs an
nouncement that It VIII establish a
bank with branches of its own in
New York city. must engage the at

thought to industrial problems.

ancia1ly OF all the labor unions. The
Empire Trust Company is a big
bank. Chain banking Of the kind
the Brotherhood intends TO engage
in means financing in a large way
How is the public 20 interpret such
a step in the direction of oapitalistic
interests by a labor union7
AfhHaton OF the Brotherhood
with the trust company Il merely
another phase in a logical and de-
sirable development which has been
evident in the brotherhood for
some time. This union, whose re-
sources are now estimated at S19.-
600 600. already has in operation ten
cooperative banks, with six more
in process OF orga nization. 1t man
ages extensive coal properties. a de-
partment store and other coopera-
tive businesses.
Locomotive engineers earn good
nay. and there are 10000 Of them in
their organization. 1t is natural that
they should have large resources
and that they should develop them.
In that development there Is ma
terisl for a better basis OF under
standing OF capital by labor. Par
ticipatiou by labor in such enter
prises as the Brotherhood has
undertaken ought TO work against
class consciousness. and GLASS con
seriousness, Is the worst enemy an
industrial society can have.
Let labor share some OF the re-
sponsibililes OF capital. Let Il
practice arrive at a better
understanding OF what capital Is
rather than believe what the soap

INCREASING PROSPERITY

From the Washington Post.
The Labor Departments statement
that there Is less idleness IN The
country than NJ any time in the past
three years is significant az indtoat-
ing advance toward prosperity.
When nations working GLASSES
are employed, it means greater pro
duction OF commodities and wider
distribution OF money in wages.
This statement OF the Labor De
partment takes on additional eig
nfhcance in view OF tho appended
item 20 the effect that substantial
portion Of the labor now active IS
being utilized for construction pur-
poses. This means not only In
crease of employment, but increase

in turn would add TO tho facilities
for living at reasonable cost and Tor
