governments had to say on the
events which preceded the war.
There is no doubt that in the
days to come international rela-
tons will not be confined to what
one foreign office says to another
foreign office. The relations will
be much broader, involving the
great masses of the people. These
relations will not be healthy if one
people believes version A to be the
whole truth and another people
believes version B to be the whole
truth. A means must be found of
enabling both peoples to compare
version A with version B and to
hear them debated.
There is no better guaranty than
this, that the two peoples will not
live in separate and antagonistic
worlds.
We need not be embarrassed in
raising this question because our
Russian ally, not to speak of GER
tain of our other allies, has not
in practice had this freedom of the
press. The Russians themselves
not only in signing the declaration
about Italy but in all their re-
cent utterances, have shown that
they are not embarrassed by it.
This must mean that having con
sclidated the results of their revo-
luton, and seeing the sure pro-
spect of an invincible security
against their external enemies,
trey do not fear the Inauguration
of those common liberties which
in the past the Russian national
has never, under the cars or the
Bolshevist dictatorship, enjoyed.
We shall have to trust the rus
slams. and we need not preach to
them: the blood they have shed
and the solidarity they have ex-
hibited in this war are more con-
vlncing than words.

Are Women Patriotic?
Ruth Mllet Poses An Embarrassing Question And Finds
Little Reinsurance in Array Of Facts

Because there are such women,
women themselves are sure to be-
heve that American women as a
whole are patriotic.
But what of these condemning
facts?
Disappointing results in the WAC
enlistment campaign forced an up
ward revision of Army require
ments for men by $4,000 for Janu-
airy.
For every woman taking on a
job in a war plant, another wo-
man quits.
WOMEN GO ON BUYING SPREE
New York State has fallen short
by 81 per cent in recruiting nurses
for military service.
Women are spending record
sums on clothing and luxury items,
according to sales figures from
the Federal Reserve System and
the Bureau of the Census.
Those are facts women can't
point to with pride. They deny
the personal patriotism of Amer
lean women.
And let women not hull them
selves with the thought that they
are doing their part by sending
their men to fight. What their
men do is to their own credit
not to the credit of their sweet
hearts, their wives, or mothers.
Are American women patriotic?
That is a question that should be
asked today. And the answer must
be a shameful, mot patriotic
enough"
