Treatment of the Belgians Even in war there are supposed to be certain “rules of the game” based on humanity and fundamental decency among nations which have in the course of centuries led t the abandonment of primitive practices such the enslave ment of conquered nations, the slaughter of women and chi! dren, the bombardment of unprotected cities and coasts, and the sinking of unarmed vessels without warning One reason that the United States is at war with many is that Germany has not observed these unwritten “rules of the game.” Germany has violated practically all of them. The last to be violated is that in regard to enslaving fa conquered nation, as pointed out by Baron Moncheur in ‘his speech at the Arena yesterday.

Neither is there question about the government's having power to do it National emergencies must come first. Our government urgently requires every pound of copper and fuel that can be produced, at the earliest possible moment. It should not sub mit to any prolonged hold-up of production of these essen tials. It has given evidence of the seriousness of its war busi ness by putting troops in Europe.
