Make it your duty tc let The Tribune know w your carrier misses you ie So The Natural Effect REPUDIATION is conscionable at all there is no limit to the extent to which it can be carried. The utter inability of the Soviet leaders of Russia to understand the viewpoint of other nations is indicated in that portion of the Russian reply in which it is stated that the repudiation of the debts contracted by the former government, under the czar, cannot preju- dice the attitude of Soviet Russia toward those who would come with their capital and their technical knowledge to help in Russia’s revival. The repudia- tion of long recognized debts under a government that was also long recognized, can have no other effect than to create prejudice against the govern- ment that refuses to acknowledge the validity of its obligations. Let us euppose for a moment that the situation ‘were reversed and that Russia and Russian citizens were the creditors and the United States and its citi- zens were debtors. Let us suppose that popular gov- ernment in the United States—capitalictie govern- ment, as Mr. Lenin calls it—be overthrown and a monarchy established. Let us suppose that the new monarchical government repudiates all the debts due from America to Russia and Russian citizens. Under those circumstances, Mr. Lenin being a capitalist and @ creditor, would he for one moment trust the new government of the United States and extend it fur- ther credits at the risk of his personal loss or loss to his government? - The question answers itself. If the former government of Russia had been a transient government, set up by revolutionists, there might be some basis for the repudiation on restora- tion of n permanent government; but such was not the cese. The Russian monarchy had been recognized by all the nations for many generations, Russia had borrowed money and repaid it; she had made war and treaties of peace; she had received ambassadors from other countries and sent her ambassadors to them. Ne nation nor any individual who dedlt with Russia had been put on notice of likelihood of repudiation of debts, as would be the case if the regime had been new and unsettled. Moreover, the United States received title to Alaska from the former government of Russia on payment of @ price that is seen today to be ridiculously small as compared with the actual value of that territory under present knowledce of its resources. If Mr. Lenin and his associates can repudiate the other acts of the former government of Russia, why cannot they also repudiate the cession of Alaska to the United States and demand restoration of their former possession? The obligations Lenin and his gang of bandits cre- ate are less binding upon the Russian people than were the obligations created by the czar’s government, for the present regime has been only a short time in control, it gained control by force, and it maintains that control by force and fear. If Lenin should be granted the billion-dollar loan he asks, and bonds were issued by his government as evidence of the! obligation, those bonds would be promptly repudiated by any subsequent government that might be set up either by the people or by a group of dictators such as those now in power. A mere review of the facts of the situation is all that is necessary to demonstrate the fality of the Lenine contention as to the effect of repudiation of the old Russian debts. Lenin would not loan a dollar to a repudiating government; neither can he borrow a dollar so long as he advocates repudiation himself. Must Be Bootlickers és] AM SORRY to give advice which I anticipate | will be unacceptable to you, but if you believe in my political leader-hip I think it will be wise for you to accept it.” Thus wrote Woodrow Wilson to one Higdon, respecting Mr. Higdon's entry into the Missouri Democratic primaries as a candidate against Senator Reed. This single sentence from the letter of Woodrow) Wilson constitutes the all-absorbing, dominating itsue within the ranks of the Democratic party. Mr. Bryan, Mr. Cox, Mr. McAdoo and other more or less deserv- ing Democrats may have entertained the idea that they were in a contest among themselves for the honor of leadership of their party. Be that as it may, they no longer entertain such idea. The contest for leader- skip within the old party of infficiency is now between those who “believe in my political leadership,” and those who do not. --- 16 and 1% Branch Telephone Exchange Connecting All Departments] Either it will permit the Woodrow Wilson democracy ice as second class| t® Seize control of its organization, dictate its poli- longer a fight within the Democratic party. It fight between the Democratic party and the Woodrow Wilson Democracy. The best judgment at this writ-| ing is that the Democratic party is doomed to lose./ cies, round up, rope and brand it with the Woodrow Wilson mark of proprietorship or the Woodrow Wilson Democracy will conduct a fight of its own which| will be directed quite as much against the Democratic perty as it will be against the Republican party. Under the eight years of domination by President Wilson the Democratic party, to all intents and pur- Poses. became his personal property. If Democratic! senators did not obey his royal decrees and prostrate themselves before him, his ukase was issued that those senators should be retired from public life. Wilson’ interference in the primaries of his own party in sev- etal southern states is a matter of common record. His present attempt to dictate to the Democrats of Missouri is on a par with his dictation to the Demo- crats of Georgia, Mississippi and other etates. It re- mains to be seen whether he, as a private citizen, is as powerful politically within his own party as he was when he was president. In any event thore who continue their adulation of him have banded themselves in a heavily financed, militant organization known as the Woodrow Wilson democracy as distinguished from the plain organiza- tion which has for three generations been known as the Democratic party, the party whose name, tradi- tions and habiliments Woodrow Wilson used to the limit to elevate himself to the presidency. At the present writing, this Woodrow Wilson Democracy, headed by Hamilton Holt. seems to have the inside track at the Wilson court, This organization recently held a meeting in Ney York at which Mr. Hamilton Holt reported that he had received the political blessing of Mr. Wilson and at the same time expressed grave doubt as to the quality of the Dmocratic party as it now exists and is officered. He expressed the fear that unless some- thing were done to save it from its present tendencies and leadership it would “slump.” In order to pre- vent this, Mr. Holt introduced a resolution at the meeting of the Woodrow Wilson Democracy which called upon Chairman Hull of the Democratic party of call a epecial meeting of the Democratic national committee in order to give that committee opportu- nity to make a choice between hitting the sawdust trail and accepting the teachings of the Woodrow Wilson Democracy or continuing to pursue its ancient and unregenerate ways. Following hard upon this thinly veiled ultimatum of the Woodrow Wilson Democracy to the Democratic party comes Woodrow Wilson’s letter with its equally thinly veiled ultima- tum that “it will be wise” for those Democrats “who believe in my political leadership” to accept orders as of yore. From all of which it is perfectly evident that Mr. Wilson still believes in one-man power. He still be- lieves in an autocratic form of government. He still believes in political dictatorship. He still reents the idea of the people in the ranks having any voice what- ever in the affairs of their party whenever and wher- ever that voice does not echo his opinions. Concealing Frauds EN CONNECTION with the request of the depart- 4 ment of justice for an appropriation of $500,000 to promote its investigation and prosecution of war graft cases Attorney General Daugherty sent to the president a letter reviewing what had been done by the department in regard to such cases. In this letter Mr. Daugherty makes the startling statement that persons high up in the Wilson administration are in- volved and the prosecutions which are to follow in the immediate future will disclose this fact. Mr. Daugherty’s exact language follows ‘The transactions out of which these cases crew in a vast majority of instances took place during the preceding administration. Naturally, little or nothing was done during that administration to bring these ht. As the country will soon have reason to know, influential personages in the government who had‘ knowledge of these transactions and who were in a position to make disclosures were personally interested in concealing them. It is not to be won- dered, therefore, that upon coming into office I found not only that practically nothing had been done in the way of investigating and prosecuting these of- fenses, but that no machinery had been set up for handling the cases in an orderly and systematic way.” The attorney general states that since his induction into office the department has taken up and is pur- suing the investigation of over 200 war graft cases. This number includes only those cases where there is evidence of fraud; it does not include almost 200 more cases involving claims against the government growing out of war-time operations and in which the government's interests must be protected. The at- torney general states that this work fell upon his department at the time when economy was being urged all along the line and that in response to the demand for economy he has not been able to create an adequately equipped division within his department | for handling all of such cases. The attorney general denounces those who defrauded the government in connection with war contracts as “treasonable” and | states that they should be compelled to “disgorge their unholy profits. The attorney general again refers | to the guilty implication of the government officials } under the previous administration when he says “these crimes and offenses are all the more reprehensible when committed or connived at by sworn officers and employes of the government.” Mr. Daugherty promises speedy action on some of the more important cases. In this connection he | states, “two cases of the first magnitude are ready for prompt submission. On of these is nation-wide) in scope and the investigation has covered a wide range. If this case had been presented without such | preliminary investigation the principals might possi- bly have been indicated and their liability to the gov- ernment in large amounts established. However, this investigation conductd in the most careful way has developed that a great many others who have been | lurking in the shadows are also involved in the unlaw- ful transaction. The result is that not only will the | principals and several others, in all probability, be indicted here, but other indictments against the prin- cipals and different groups may be expected to follow in other parts of the count.y.” The attorney gyneral set forth that he has been | extremely careful in the investigations because “it is a terrible thing to charge a citizen with robbing What a few weeks ago appeared to be a real con- test among a number of estimable Democrats for leadership in their party has now degenerated into a piffling scramble for the privilege of receiving the political blessing of Mr. Wilson and being designated by him as the heir apparent. This contest has even reached the point where it can truly be said it is no Recalled Mail Dia you know that there is a de- partment in Uncle Sam's postal serv- ice whose business it is to “snatch back” letters for the sender—ietters which, if delivered, would entail all|ter written kin¢s of urtlestrable consequences,| changes necessitht every possible phase of human trag- ety or comedy?
