Congress Urged to
Profit by Past.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The Evening Star should be commend
ed for publishing on its editorial page
the article by William Mann emphasiz-
ing Real Danger Seen in Myths Con-
corning Our Entry into World War"
For an event that took place only
20 years ago. and in Washington where
sources OF information are so readily
available. it is simply amazing that
there are men who are willing to throw
mud on the graves of our honored
dead in order to rebuke a dead and a
living President whom they did and
do not like. Too long has our foreign
policy been simply an instrument of
retaliation against an executive.
On May 10, 1915, three days after
the Lusitania was sunk, President Will
son, speaking in Philadelphia, said:
THE example Of America must be the
example, not of peace because it will
not fight, but of peace because peace
is the healing and elevating influence
of the world and strife Is not. There
is such thing as a man being too
proud to fight. There Is such thing
as a nation being so right that it does
not need to convince others by force
that 1t is right"
Almost Immediately this statement
brought down upon Woodrow Wilson q
torrent of abuse. Some of those now
in the Senate, who are beating their
breasts and crying loudly for neutrality.
were the leaders of the pack that
snapped at Woodrow Wilson's heels.
Even Theodore Roosevelt stated: "The
President wrote note after note, each
filled with lofty expressions and each
sterile in its utter futility, because 1t did
not mean action, and Germany knew that
it did not mean action" Roosevelt de-
clared that Wilson was strong In words
but weak in action; that he had met
policy of blood and iron with policy Of
milk and water; that his foreign policy
was worthy of Byzantine logothete-
but not of an American statesman"
The Republican platform of 1916 de-
manded the protection of all American
rights and charged that in its foreign
policy the Wilson administration had
resorted to shifty expedients to phrase
making. to language rather than per-
formance.
It is well known that after the war,
on March 4. 1919, group Of Senators,
wholly motivated by hatred Of the Presi-
dent, announced to the world through
q round-robin that they would block
any treaty Of peace proposed by him
Of which they did not approve. Thus,
his hands were tied.
It will be remembered that, In stating
the objectives Of the war, Woodrow VII

as happened at the Worlds Fair last
night. Two firemen with rope and
snap-belts-and scissors to cut hole in
the parachute-should have been all
the brigade" needed to bring the two
passengers down in few minutes. Next
time they had better wire San Fran
cisco. Two firemen could come from
there by plane and get the stalled
people down in not much more than
five hours.

Letters to the Editor
Criticizes Star Editorial
On Chinese War.

oH war
To the Editor Of The Star:
Your editorial, North China Incident"
In Fridays Star was indeed interesting.
May I take this opportunity to con-
denim It?
From the editorial: "The Chinese
people are entitled not only to the SYM
pathy but to the homage of the outside
world I presume sympathy" and
homage are of practical use to starv-
ing refugees by the million, to the ILL
equipped armies? The world owes China
much more than sympathy and homage.
Congratulating the Chinese is all very
fine and gentlemanly, but when it comes
down to mentioning the dirty deals we've
given China and our cowardly trade with
the Japanese invaders-oh. no!

Suggests Audience Control
For Summer Concerts.

To the Editor of The Star:
Dictatorship in the musical world has
not gone far enough. At last nights
sunset symphony it was apparent that
DR.. Kinder was in perfect control of
his musicians, but what went on behind
his back was sheer anarchy.
At o'clock sharp the concert began
and for IS minutes thereafter the rhythm
Of the symphony was distorted by the
counter-rhythm Of hard-heeled ladies
and gentlemen vending their way in.
Notes of the flute were echoed by shrill
demands to know the location of seat
numbers
After a calm lasting only through the
brief work from Sibelius, the tide of
concert pedestrians was reversed and
grew to steady tramp by the end of the
evening. Little screams Of laughter rang
through the air as the deserters STUN
bled over steps in the dark.
If those folk who came late were the
same that left early, they were present
maximum of eight minutes-and the
only conclusion that can be drawn is
that the whole movement was a SUBJ
versive one aimed at preventing music
lovers from hearing music This IL q
serious charge to make, and hardly to
be believed, since those who paced In and
out were mostly well-fed ladies of con-
servative appearance and rosy-cheeked
young men and women.
Whether or not this was a deliberate
plot aimed at overthrowing our Ameri-
can form Of entertainment drastic ac-
tion must be taken.
Two courses are open. The afiable
Hans Kinder may become .tempera-
mental and begin hurting batons at the
restless herd. If this is not effective
only one resort is left-the Army must
be called in at sos pm. every Wednes-
day and Sunday through the season
to throw a barbed-wire ENHANCEMENT
around the Water Gate. G.. EN-.

 In all this Generalization, Walter Ripple, the man who believed in working for a living, was an out standing exception. Back in the States he had fought his own way.

However. the spokesman for the
Tacoma Committee for Non-Par-
ticipation in japanese Aggression,
offered a plan that has the entire
support of the T. r. & p. Goa
six months moratorium on re-
moval of abandoned street car rails
from Tacoma streets.
That, their speakers contended,
would allow time for congress to
act on pending resolutions which
are being proposed to place an
embargo on all munitions ship
ments-scrap iron included.
To Notify Chairman
Davisson assured the delegation
the council would give their plan
fullest consideration and would,
upon reaching a decision, advise
their chairman, Prof. Douglas
Rugh of the c. P. S. faculty.
Present besides members of the
non-participation committee were
several of the Chinese race and a
scattering of local longshoremen,
only one of whom. however. spoke.
S. Reay, longshoreman. ad-
dressed himself TO the committee.
Would Lose Jobs
There's a small crew now en-
ployed by the T. r. & p. to re-
move those rails, isn't there VIII
you take care of those men and
their families while they're thrown
out of work-if they should be
forced to go on relief ?"
Dr. Allen Emerson replying for
the committee said that if Japan
was permitted to continue its hold
on China, thered be many more
Tacomans and others who would
lose their present jobs.
Rev. Frank Goodnoush. chair
man of subcommittee, presented
the local plan as means of regis
tering a moral protest" against
scrap iron shipments to Japan for
conversion into shells and other
He suggested the coun-
Gil grant the T. r. & p. Co. an
extension of SIX months beyond
the four-year rail removal limita-
ton embodied in the 1887 fran
chise. He said the company now
is removing rails at a rate of about
so tons a month and already has
500 tons stacked up in its yards
awaiting shipment.
Rank Hypocrisy"
Chairman Rugh referred TO the
American policy on scrap ship
ments as rank hypocrisy"
Mrs L. \. Peterson told the
council there was one thing they
could stop and that is the gath
ering of scrap iron and cotton
cloth from the city dump on the
tideflats She said every little
piece was being taken out to be
placed with other scrap going to
Japan.
Rugh read telegram from
Congressman Coffee approving the
Tacoma committees purposes and
branding it as certainly idiotic for
us TO furnish the means whereby
Nippon can manufacture NUM-
tons to shoot down the helpless.
