THE BLUE AND GRAY REUNION

The decision of the Grand Army OF
the Republic to hold reunion with the
Confederate veterans at Gettysburg next
summer moves the San Francisco Chronicle
to point out that it will give the world
final notice that our people lean fight,
and bitterly, to the limit of their strength,
and accepting the result, come together
again in united front"
When the surviving veterans meet as
friends, says this newspaper, on their
bloodiest battlefield the spectacle should
convince all of us that there never should
be "a lesser quarrel that cannot be COM
posed by Americans"
There are issues today, it is true, that
deeply move our citizens, but all of them,
together, can hardly equal the bitterness
of the last century when the men of this
country shed their blood in battle against
each others. However, it is incumbent
upon our leaders to avoid the development
of hatred between groups or sections be-
cause foolish leadership can plunge any
nation into great woes.
While some sectional differences of
opinion exist they can be settled so long as
there is confidence in good faith and fair
play. Their adjustment will never be
helped by failure to understand the prob
lens of other sections or by criticism of
other Americans as class.

UNITED LABOR AND THE PUBLIC

The conference this week between
representatives of the American Fedora
ton of Labor and the Committee for In
dustrial Organization should result in the
end of the bitter fighting between these
two organizations and in the union of some
100000 workers into one great associa-
ton.
While the average American SYM
pathizes with the cause of labor, in gen
eraI, and desires the working class to be
strongly organized, this does not mean
that the public intends to underwrite any
demands that labor may make upon indus
try or upon government. SO long as labor
leaders wisely recognize the superiority of
the general welfare and exhibit willing
ness to recognize the rights of other peo-
pie, without depending TOO much upon
force to obtain their ends, the union or
ganization will have popular support.
The danger exists, however, that there
may develop in this country something
like the class consciousness which has
been promoted in other lands and that
labor leaders may assume that, because
they have the power to threaten, they
have the right to compel acquiscence in
their program. Under such conditions
some of them may forget that other Am
orleans have equal rights to live and pros
per, which will cause ili-feeling to unions
and work harm to the cause of the work
ingman.

ism at all, and that the country stands
in sad need of true liberalism.
Encouragement can also be found
in the fact that the operation of eco
nomic laws is exposing some Of the
major economic fallacies actively adj
vanced by these liberals as funda-
mental parts of the true liberalism"
of which they were the champions.
The passage of time and the opera
ton of economic laws have been on
the side of the orthodox economists.
and have made the enlightened eco
nomic liberals" appear rather ridicu-
lous in the eyes of an increasingly
critical public. The proposal to raise
the standard of living by advocating
scarcity, and the almost endless num-
Der of similar economic absurdites
which these liberals" have spon-
sored. are one by one revealing their
true nature.
Encouragement can also be found
in the increasing tendency of the pub
lie to realize and to say with tone
of disapproval that "thiS is politics"
For the last few years one of the
great games of this nation has been
politics. Practically every act of the
present Federal Administration has
been appraised by the press according
to whether it was good or bad poll
tics. The President has been spoken
of almost uniformly and unblushingly
as the cleverest politician of recent
times. The words Statesman" and
Craftsmanship" have practically
ceased to be used in speaking of both
him and his Administration.
This is really remarkable phe-
nomenon; and il is especially remark
able in the swiftness with which the
practice became practically univer-
sal. But there are encouraging stir
rings of reaction against this state
OF things. Many people are growing
sick of this game of politics and want
craftsmanship. Their sense of fair
ness, their interest in the welfare of
the nation. and their unwillingness
to endorse or to participate in the
pettiness. diShonesties. sInallness,
thickness. and hypocrisies of "astute
politics" are turning them toward
more admirable things. They want
genuine. liberal craftsmanship.
The constant hammerings and ex-
poses of the true nature of the
pseudo-liberalism and of the great
current game Of politics. and the per-
sistent teaching of the essential fea-
lures of genuine liberalism. by such
true liberals as Walter Lippmann,
Dorothy Thompson. David Lawrence,
Frank Kent. Mark Sullivan. George
Sokolsky, and several others Of the
same type apparently are beginning
to bear fruit. Time and facts are on
their side. and it seems clear that the
public is becoming increasingly

KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY

From The Files Of The Citizen

Key West and the South At
lantic Coastal Highway have been
done a grave injustice in a report
recently issued by the federal
highway department, local road
authorities point out. The report,
which was widely copied in papers
in the eastern and southern part
of the states, appear that Miami
and not Key West is the southern
terminus of the South Atlantic
Coastal Highway. Key West has
always been the southern terminus
of the South Atlantic Coastal
Highway. 1t gets the annual
meeting of the directors of the
Highway Association this winter
and the general meeting of the
organization in 1920.

A NOSE FOR PROPAGANDA

Japanese propaganda in the United
States has been completely knocked out
by Chinese reports. says Viscount Hide
marc Konoe, brother of the Japanese
Premier, who has recently returned to
Tokyo after conducting a symphony or
chestra in the United States.
To meet the clever and artistic propa-
ganda of the Chinese this son of Japan
advises his government that ''the funda-
mental thing is to get hold of a man with
a nose for propaganda and let him take
charge He admits that, from Japanese
viewpoint. opinion in America is much
worse than the people Tin Japan know.
