Our Colonial Tyranny

In his odd moments-if he has any-the President
might look into the matter Of Caribbean empire
which isn't doing we'll And if he can't find leisure
for that purpose he will be justified in taking time
from other business.
Too long our island stepchildren have been neg
lected or left to the hands of politicians and exploit
ing business interests That is of the many evils
inherited by Mr. Hoover from his predecessors.
With his long business experience among other
colonial peoples and his eye for administrative eff
flcency the President once he gets irto the Carib-
bean situation, presumably be depended upon to
start house cleaning.
Perhaps that is what he had in mind when he
announced the other day that he would not attend
the London naval conference, but would condne his
travels to this hemisphere. We hope so.
The difficulty is that went into this imperialism
game very left-handed fashion. For thirty years
we have been getting in deeper. and all the while
soIemnly telling ourselves that not in it at ALL
AS result we neither have given those subject peo-
pies their independence. nor have we given them an
efficient imperial administration.
That sort of thing can not go on forever. Soon
must organize colonial Office and set of bureau
Gratis to empire, revert to the early Amer
lean principle that country is good enough to rule
another
Among the empire problems worthy of the Presi-
dents immediate consideration are those of Cuba,
Haiti and Porto Rico.
In Cuba one of the worlds most vicious dictator
ships is fourishing under Machado, with the tact
support Of the Washington government, without
which no Cuban regime prosper. Under the Platt
amendment and treaty protectorate which the United
States maintains Cuba, are obligated to pro-
tect the Cuban people from just such dictatorship
violates their lives and liberties. There is
much to be said for the United States pulling out
Cuba altogether but there is nothing to be said for
countenancing such conditions while we remain.
In Haiti another dictator has been enthroned by
puppet government has changed their laws for the
benefit of American land sharks and bankers. All
sembance of representative government is at end
Dictator Borno just has announced that he will
not permit national election, ruse he has resorted
to before to perpetuate the dictatorship Haitians
not express their opposition through free po
ltcal parties and press Hence there is apt to be an
explosion.
In Porto Rico our unwilling subjects stand on the
message sent by the national legislature to President
Coolidge through Colonel Lindbergh: "Give us liberty
give DEATH But they say they will be satisfied
II grant them statehood along the lines of the
Irish Free State.
To ignore longer their reasonable and peaceful
appeals is to drive them eventually into the kind of
revolt which made heroes of Patrick Henry and our
revolutionary fathers.

gerous problems, the better for all concerned

IT is unfortunate that Washington newspaper men

such inclination
Certainly the United States senates rejection of
the League of Nations compact, negotiated by the
late President Wilson should be notice to everybody
that this country not be taken into any kind

If the Longworths are not going to attend any
parties which Mrs Gam attends the very least they
can do is to call up Mr.. Gam and have him come
over to eat and spend the evening.
1t is not right to let him stay home alone all
winter.
EUROPEANS criticise us for our abridgement OF
Lpersonal liberty, yet Premier de Rivera has told
the Spanards to eat less work more and go to bed
early; Mussoni has told the women of Italy to wear
longer dresses; while Russia has commanded her peo
pie to stop kissing, claiming that every kiss contains
10000 microbes.
Herbert Adams of indianapolis was sent to jail for
sixty days for beating his 7yearold son with leather
strap leaving fifty welts on the boys back and

Then and Now

THERE we're no Comstocks
l. around to shush Adam about
sex and as a result there is no re-
cord that he was ever dirty minded.
Everything around was very good
and Adam just went along with the
rest of living creatures.
In fact, I think that it was a
great mistake to invent sin and the
various complications which have
been built up around it.
Of course, if you don't accept the
prevailing concepts you will be
called a pagan. But so was Adam.
God created a pagan he and pagan
she and in His judgment they we're
very good.
In print vice may seem more at
tractiVe than virtue yet even now
at the comparatively youthful age
of forty I am willing to debate the
proposition that reasonable right
eousness is more fun than whoopee.
Anybody who keeps telling child
that he is stupid will succeed in
making him just that. And
preacher who insists upon inform
ing his congregation that they are
all miserable sinners has no right to
complain if they finally are per-
Suaded and act accordingly.

In the churches we hear great
deal about original sin and almost
nothing of original virtue. Preachers
seem to believe that vice is by many
leagues more attractive than virtue
This may be logical enough for
fundamentaliStS who insist upon the
actuaIity of the fall of Adam. Yet
even modernists insist that man is
pretty poor creature unless he
chins himself regularly upon some
code of transcendental ethics.
Since Rousseaus day, there have
been few to state the case for the
noble savage. Seemingly there is
general agreement that there can be
no good living without program.
Haphazard goodness and instinc-
tive righteousness never are men
toned. And yet must contend
that within my own experience,
most of the decent acts which have
ever done, or seen in others, were
matters less of principle than i'm
pulse.
The man who counts ten before
ever coming to a decision may avoid
some hasty acts of violence but he
will also stif1e an even greater num-
