'A new phase of blame has been brought into the increas- niakes!the ‘question one of national importance. It is based upon:the failuré of the government to pay its soldiers, which really seems to be a scandal of the war. It is no secret that thousands. of -men -arriving in New York and other Atlantic . ports, have not been paid for months. THe Y. M. C.-A. had tolook for its revenue almost entirely from public-donations. Their expenses were large and it was : iry - to ‘¢harge for ‘articles. purchased at the canteens, ut .37 soldier who had ‘not been paid for months could not purchage the articles he wanted, and he therefore comes home disgrunitled and with a bitter resentment toward this organiza- ition. ' If the fighting men had received their pay when it was ue, making it possible for them to make their purchases, the - story :would: undoubtedly be different. The criticism of:the work of the Y. M. C. A. in France has grown _from occasional words of condemnation to an almost universal feeling 'of bitterness among the returning troops and :although the chigf blame seems to be placed upon’the ‘new| -men who were.rushed into the work during the necessary ex- ‘pansion to meet the-demands created by the'entry of the United “States into'the war, the failure of the soldiers to receive their . pay is reported to have been a big factor in creatingthis feeling of bitterness. —0 BOLSHEVISM VS. FOOD. - p On -first -consideration the desire of the allies to raise $400,000,000-to'supply food for the starving countries of Europe is accepted at its face value as inspired.by a laudable and natural wish'to alleviate suffering. ...But we are further informed that the ultimate object of ‘this' ptoject is to'prevent the spread of bolshevism. - . So we learn to supplement the old saying that ‘“the way to'a 'man’s heart is through his stomach’” by a conviction that his political opinions are also determined by the condition of ~hig“stomach.’ = And why not? . Your well-fed man is a contented man. Ei{erything pertaining in any measure to him, from the fit “of His ‘Bhoes to the edicts of his government, is pleasing and “satisfactory. Have not you yourself developed a more encour- ‘aging view of the municipal government and a larger tolerance for your opponent’s religious doctrines after a good dinner? On the ofher hand, the man unable to get enough food +is-an easy prey to pessimism, coveting and desiring other men’s ig&ofldg, «might-makes-right ideas, anarchy, and in a word, :Let the United States make haste with its fund for the - satisfaction-of the hungry and thereby for the establishment ~6f world peace. . —_—0 _PUBLICITY AND THE PEACE CONFERENCE. " .1t is ‘hard for the American people to understand the reserve of ‘European diplomacy. In a country where every male citizen has some share in the government, the processes of governintg bodies are public. The American nation knows, day. by-day, the discussions and decisions of congress, and only +in‘stress of great emergency is censorship of any kind resorted to. .,,atu;ally there was dissatisfaction at the idea that the peace conference, whose actions are of so much importance “to us all, should sit behind closed doors. We approve remon-| strances and trust that these iwill have their result and that «the deliberations of the conference will have due publicity.|. —+ ‘BURLESON BUREAUCRACY. .. _.The general manager of a telegraph company who opposed ‘government control was deposed and now he says that all the ,mlqyees are undgx: duress 'because of fear of similar treat- ,fifi@ fl_'om the polltu;al master general. No doubt about it. the men care anything for their jobs, they will sneeze when- ever Mr. Burleson takes snuffi That is one of the results of bureaucraty.
