Our own problem, the problem | incident to determining our position | .in the world equation, has not been *solved. | Since official evidence is claimed to indicate that the administration pro- Pposes to urge the passage of the Knox Germany ‘There are those who hold that its pas-; step. removing the United States from { the difficult and embarrassing posi(ioni in which it today finds itself as a re- sult of the treaty wrangle. There are others to whom the proposal to enter into a separate peace with Germany would seem to involve dishonor to us through the betrayal of our allies— and this at the price of considerable tangible loss unto ourselves. 5 Yet. irrespective of which viewpoint is correct, the fact remains that, should the Knox resolution he passed it, like the Hughes mote, would fail to advance us on the road we must ultimately travel. It might affect a state of peace with Germmny. It ymight, and its principal danger lies in t fact, postpone the time when we “should have to reach our .more im- portant decision. But it can never effedtively delimit the position of the Thnited States toward the balanee of the world nor record the fact as to! ‘what part we propose to play in shap- ing the destinies of civilization. It is for that delimitation and that recording that the world is waiting to- day. Such anxiety is not flattering to the United States, connoting as it does the dread lest we decide to stand aloof and bid the balance of civilization shif for itself. Yet all things considered it is not unnatural. The task before humanity" has jolned the balance of| the world in earnest mutual effort. The United States, alone of all the con- | siderable powers, is not of that union, its present and future status is alone | unknowy. -And because that fact in- volves 80 serious an obstacle to their effart, the other nations, and a major- ity of Americans, pray for an early! decision.

The Knights of Columbia have felt that this fund of $5,000,000, a remnant of the great fund raised by public sub- scription for war work, should be in some effective way returned to the public.

They were very certain the islands would never prosper under American control; would groups who now: petitioning for Debs’ release, “with the view -of capi- talizing it as a possible parly assét at the polls in the future,”.and. the Pittsburg Sun (democratic) asks. “how much respect for the law Wil | be left us if a pre ential election ] comes to be looked upon as a medium for voting criminals out of the peni- tentiary?"
