There was frequent refer- ence made to Teutonic ‘“supermen” and the opinion was expressed in nu- merous neutral capitals that the Ger- man armies could never be defeated on the battlefield.

The British Labor party “has greeted our war [ aims with enthusiasm. French am/l Ttalian Socialists have hailed them as the only solution of Europe's wo But their Governments have not of- ficially committed themselves. It is, perhaps, not surpr held in a net of traditional compli- cations, hundreds of years old, which is hard to break. They are accus- tomed to look at European politics through the eyes of the past. The | American war aims ask them to look ics through the eyes of the future. They have difficulty at European poli adjusting themselves to this new vi- sion. Tt is, therefore, all the more neces- that we, who must uphold war aims which demand a better system { of dealing between nations, should slves with the full scope of their meaning. If the war sar acquaint ours should end in a peace which left Eu- rope in the grip of the old, bad, imperialistic rivalries the aims for ca’s troops are fighting would be dismally defeated. The Italians can point to their war aims on the map. France, wounded | and injured, can eloquently do the | same. Britain could be content with | the difeat of her arrogant neighbor. The United States, too, can point to map war aims. But beyond the map, beyond the defeat of Germany, our war aims call for a map settle- ment in terms of a justice which shall guarantee that the European map thus settled shall not be the breeding ground of fresh wars. Bevond the settlement of the present struggle, our war aims look to society of na- tions which shall guarantee the world against a repetition of these ! miseries and horrors. To set up such a League of Na- tions means a complete reversal of the old European system. Tt means clean-handed, open diplomacy, with all Governments equally responsible to their peoples Such a world-state will not be easy to organize. even with Germany beat- en, unless we have unanimity on our own side. It will be Germany’s aim to prevent such unanimity. It should be ours to establish it. Rival Maritime Organizations. (New York Herald) So long as the Navy Department is not intrusted during the war with the manning and control of the whole Government fleet--naval, military and mercantile alike—friction is sure to be created, and the all-around effi- ciency dependent on unified adminis- tration cannot be secured. There is no room for rival maritime admin- istrations or for policies where har- moniou standards of discipline differ. It is a settled rule that everything afloat should in war be controlled by the men best fitted by experience and previous environment for the exigen- cies and urgencies of hostilities. Paying in Taxes. (New York Tribune) Mr. Kitchin, chairman of the waj and means committee, deserves to be congratulated on his presentation of the eight-billion-dollar revenue bill It was fair and large and sound. At tated the whole case in principle. It was not a fifth nor a quarter nor a third of the war kill that should be paid by current taxes, he said, but ALL that was possibie and the Imit of taxation shouid be only the impossible.
