A cordial invitation to all re- speeches at St. Paul and Minneapolis this week and his enthus- iasm and confidence in the people of the northwest to make the|7 p. m. drive a success has caused workers to start mapping their route of procedure even though no bonds are to be offered for sale until April twenty-first, “I decline to believe,” said Secretary Glass, ‘“that the ‘American people are indifferent to the honorable commitments of their government or would diminish the splendor of the na- tion’s achievement in war by an exhibition of avarice in time of peace. Four Liberty Loans have gone ‘over the top’ and noth- ing nor anybody can shake my faith in the purpose of the coun- try to put the capstone to the splendid structure of m-ltional| credit by making the Victory Loan an abundant success. “ 1 should doubt our ability to cope with the problems of peace if we so quickly forget the obligations of war. Some men tell about the “sacrifices” the American people have made. Where are our devastated fields and ruined cities? Were our cathedrals destroyed and homes profaned? Where are our flooded mines and pillaged factories? Is it, then, a serious ‘sac-| rifice’ to invest one’s money in the interest bearing obligations of | ‘one’s government to make everlastingly secure the nation’s free- dom as well as the nation’s prosperity? When men undertake to| compute the sacrifices of a war for freedom I would like them| to get a vision of some things I saw not long ago on the battle-! fields of France and Belgium. ! “We have a right to invoke the patriotism of the people! and today it takes a hlgher type of patriotism to serve the¢ nation than was required in the delirium of war. Upon this| I predict that the response will in no measure disappoint the ex- pectation of those who set a high estimation upon the fine spirit of the American nation. “The American people should supplement the patriotism of war by the patriotism of peace; and just as American soldiers on the fields of battle ma,de notable conquests for liberty, so American business men in a different way and through different instrumentalities should now give expression to their patriotism by promptly and cheerfully meeting the obligations of cmzenshlp which involve triumphs of peace easily comparable in their ultimate consequences, to the great victories of war. “The foremost obligation of which one can think is the duty of every American citizen, of humble station or high, to guard jealously the honor of the nation, to regard its commitments as his own, and willingly pledge his labor and substance to a complete payment of the debt.” | o NO TIME FOR LENIENCY. Disappointing, to say the least, was the news from New York a day or so ago that an immigration commissioner had released, on their own recognizance, several I. W. W, agitators who had been taken from the west by the government to be deported. His excuse for such an action is that the case against them was not clear; that their release is to be regarded as a parole, and that they will be arrested and deported should their conduct justify such action. No doubt his decision was inspired by the best of intentions, but we hasten to remark that this is not the time to deal gently or with leniency with such fel- lows as those of the I. W. W, click. Bemidji has had its deal- ing with the fellows and we know. This New York commissioner was not persuaded fully of;= the guilt of these men, so they get the benefit of the doubt.! The men were members of the I. W. W., a society which advo-! cates and practices sabotage and violence. Their defense was' that they do not believe in those of its doctrines that are ille- gal. They swore again and again that they had not advocated the destruction of property. Some of them, it is said, could not! read. A man does not have to read to learn the amiable tenets of the I. W. W. He can hear them by word of mouth. If he does not believe in the 1. W. W.’s gospel of disorder and| destruction, why is he a member of it? ! It is hard to understand why a man belongs to an associ-| ation some of whose main principles he rejects. If a man be- longs to an anarchist organization, it is safe to assume that he| is an anarchist, unless he a spy. If an alien member of the/ I W. W. is not subject to deportation because he swears or| affirms that he does not believe the most vicious and revolu- tionary of its principles, why should not all of these foreign reds escape deportation unless they are caught in the act? In the case of its own citizens, the government’s caution not to injure any of their privileges and rights is natural and proper. In the case of men who are not citizens, who belong to a society that seeks the overthrow of the government, con- siderably less forbearance might be expected. Much sedition is heard and tolerated in the name of free speech. Aliens who belong to a society of revolutionists are not entitled to any tenderness from the government. The courts will have to de- cide a number of questions in regard to the I. W. W. The path of safety, however, does not lie in mistaken gentleness. When there is doubt, not the alien I. W. W. but the country should have the benefit of the doubt. o It would clarify discussion if everyone admitted that no world league or organization now prOJected could absolutely guarantee or safeguard peace. It is not pretended that the league of nations would make war impossible. All that can be hoped from it is that the chances of a recurrance of such a war as the world has just experienced would be greatly re- duced. And that is the object worth striving for and even giv- ing something for. The opponents of the league would give up nothing, yet all nations must surrender something if there is to be the least advance over the old system which has brought Europe virtually to ruin.
