question is a specific one concerning

promulgated as though by warrant of
psychology itself, and so far it has stood

ITO psychologists who are familiar
with the recent changes in opinion con-
cerning instincts in general. the dis
parity between current tradition and
scientific opinion on this matter may
seem obvious enough. But this dis
parity has not been pointed out with
sufficient effectiveness to alter popular
thinking.
Without raising the issue as to the
inevitability of conflicting claims and
interests arising among nations, Amer
lean psychologists are almost unani-

mode of adjustment of these conflicts
is without scientific warrant"

The act also provides that all con-
tracts involving the expenditure Of the

partments will determine minimum
wages to be paid.
No convict labor may be employed on
construction work paid for by the emer-

in preserving order may run counter to
our determination to be heard in be-
half of the suffering millions. But
underneath anv surface conflict many
of us feel that the general is a great
American as well as a kindly gentleman.
1T can hardly be questioned that
thus far Gen. Glassford has handled a
difficult job with exceptional success.
BY tact, discernment and sympathy.
he has avoided open ruptu-es which
might have had terrifying consequences
Incomparably better than others in
official positions at Washington. he had
understood that the first veteran killed
might be the beginning of national
upheaval. He knew that behind the
veterans encamped at the Capital were
millions Of other distressed Americans
anxiously watching every move. He
knew that a spark in the powder keg
might become a conf1agration sweep
ing this land from ocean to ocean.
Others evidently have failed to read
the signs Of the times. Others have
failed properly to interpret the resent
ment of the masses.
1T is easy to talk of using strong
arm methods 1t is easy to talk of
driving American citizens out of their
Capital. But it is also well to remember
the history OF America. We are a great
Nation today because our forefathers
were men of courage and resourcsful-
ness. That spirit may slumber but it
is not dead. The first gun fired at
washington may once more be a shot
heard round the world.
All this Gen. GlaSsford knew instinc-
lively He has perfectly interpreted the
feeling of the Nation. He has SYM
pathetically read the hearts OF the
jobless veterans. He knew that they
we're profoundly loyal to America and
that they excoriated only those who
deba uched her.
Perhaps at times Gen. Glassford has
fed us so much sugar that he won us
over against our will. If he has done
so. We salute him in his diplomatic
victory. There may yet come open con-
f1ict, although the leaders of the B. E. F.
try earnestly to avoid it. Some of US
may yet have to die for our cause.
But, come what may. We now say of
