Senator Lodge has given assurances that the pending immigration bill, the Burnett measure, which would debar certain aliens from the country be- cause of illiteracy, and which has the added fault that it carries an affront will be put through with- out of its objectionable passages. Japanese - Ambassador Chinda and our State Department will be consulted by the Senate immigra- committee done that might taken seriously by Japan.

It will be remembered that this arrangemenc between the two nations was the out- growth of the California agitation which almost ‘plunged into war. Since then' Japan has faithfully car- ried out her part’ of the program. What her ambassador objects to now is the movement on foot in certain quarters which would put in the form of a statute of the WUnited States, through the Burnett Immigration Bill, the “gentlemen’s agreement” which seemingly has worked very well, caus- ing little or no gflctlon. .

A true American spoke when Sen- ator Husting of Wisconsin, replying to Germans and German sympathiz- ers who had entreated him by wire to keep the peace urged them in the same intérest to address their tele- grams to the German ambassador, adding, “War can best be avoided Wy wrong yielding to right and not right yielding to wrong.” The cause of peace suffers today jas it always has done because so m of its professed champions are partf- sans of wrong. To promote peace among nations as among men it is necessary to restrain the lawless and the predatory. Most af our peace ad- vocates show that thé¥sdre only in®i- dentally for peace ftrhen they waste their time exhorting congr which is not an offender, rand address no remonstrances to the blood-crazed aggressors in Berlin. Linc®ln was for peace—on terms con- i with his oath of office. He was for peace at any time after Sum- ter—on conditions of liberty and un- ion. McKinley was for peace even when the Maine lay in ruins—if there could be assurance'of justice to Cuba. Both Lincoln and McKinley w men of peace, but not at any price. Then as now the friends of wrong and tyranny shrieked from the centre of the stage and in the name of peace denounced peace-loving presidents, while actually serving the slave-pen and the concentration camp. In the same evil spirit manifested by those who woudd have compromis- ed with - secession, slavery and bar- barism, William J. Bryan‘andj a host of hyphenates, some of the latter in foreign pay, now carry to .«conge: expostulations which should”:be ad- dressed to the power that is destroy ing American life and property, vio- lgting its pledges and tearing law to shreds. They have plenty of words to instruct a peace-loving congre: and president who are in the right, but not one word of admonition for a Germany that is wrong. A different kind of peace-maker was John Bright of England. All his life he resisted British wars. His honesty not questioned. He resisted British wars not because his sympa- thies were with an alien power but because he loved Great Britain and wanted it to be always in the right. He opposed aggression in its very itadel. If the injustice had been swhere he would have assailed it with equal courage. In our revolutionary days when the Rev, John P. Muhlenberg found that it was useless to preach peace to King Scorge’s ministers, he surprised his congregation one day by delivering a ¢ sermon in favor of war. “There time to pray and a time to fight,” he said as he threw off his & vealing the of S “would you fight man than a Peace shackle right a mockery of peace als.
