MASON (Written for the United Press) NEW YORK, Dec, 3.—An ef- fort to compel Prussia to bear the chief burden which the allied peace conditions will force upen Germany has been begun by oth ec German states, under the bead- ership of Bavaria. The movement within Germany to tnvestigate the causes of war and ap portion the blame among (German of ficiale is part of this scheme. The war leaders of Germany were nearty all Prussjans, and it will not be difficult to prove that, since Prus sia possessed the dominant influence fn the imperial government of Ger many, it was Prussia’s statesmen, as well as her generals, who brought about the war. Bavarian leadership in this matter is entirely selfish, because, if Prussia can be pulled down from her high mat, Bavaria wil! dominate the new Germany. The fact that South Ger fan ambitions are thus made to ash With the rivairy of Northern y is a scheme im which the may encourage development of B0-Prussian sentiment among the of the German population. : Cannot Exterminate The world miust face the fact that fermany cannot be exterminated It & impossible to start a drive from) the south and brush all Germans in-| fo the Baltic. The new Germany that will be created by the peace conference will still have vitality and jower. If Prussia retains the same Snister authority in the new Ger as she possessed in the old, the @mocratic nations wil! not rest in se-_ curity. ‘The Prussian spirit is today un- droken. If it so remains, the future Wil be filled with conspiracies for the recovery of Prussia’s fallen pres ‘The savagery of Prussia !s not cor- Mon to the less materialistic South Germans. If Bavaria were to be tome the leader of a new Geramny, the Tentonic danger to the world Would be reduced to its lowest mark Tt may weil happen, therefore, that the allies will take serious note of Bavaria's activity in trying to make Prussia pay for the crimes Germany has committed against the world. Tf that be done, Prussia will be Mate abhorrent to the rest of Ger-| many and will become largely impo- | tent for further evil. A new Gernany may then have meme hope of being received back in to the ranks of civilization.

There is no denying that the world has progressed. The gain has been in democracy, in freedom. And even our defeated enemies have shared in -it. Germany had a kaiser and an anti- quated set of aspirations, of rules and laws that were wished onto her. Now the kaiser is gone. The old slate is wiped clean. Progress has come. Austria had a king, and a government that didn’t fit her mixed peoples. Now the king is a dead one. The government is done for. Bohemian, Pole and Jugo- Slav are free. There has been progress there. On the allied side there is Russ that was slave to a czar and a pro-German court. Russia is in turmoil. But it is safe to say that whatever may come out of it will be better than the old order, that chiefly served a foreign—a German kaiser’s—purpose. y Materially, France has lost heavily through being fought over. But France has gone a long way toward setting her house in order. The unification of war has brought better wages. Working and living conditions of Frenchmen will be better. There is progress in France, and it is still under way. Prominent men in England say, and are glad to say, that country will never be the same again. Through raising a big army and making leaders of her com- moners and old caste system has given way. Economically, by levying taxes based on the principle of ability to pay, great idle fortunes have been dispersed, distributed, put to work. By wage in- creases the standard of living of the average Englishman has been raised. Progress in England has been phenom- enal. Now, how about America? In what measure do we progress? That will de- pend on Americans; not on a few Ameri- cans, but on all of us. We have all got to raise a voice in it. TAR What does progress mean in a democ- racy like ours? It can only mean one thing. It can only mean making this country a better place to live in for the masses of our people—the workers who, with hand and brain, supply the force that keeps our civilization going. There is no place in America for the idler, or for the idle fortune. We must keep step with the rest of the world. In America the conclusion of the war must be not only a negative victory, against kaiserism; it must be a positive victory, for progress! And our progress will be better pay—in cash, in living con- ditions, and in leisure (which is the op- portunity for good citizenship)—to every man and woman with a shoulder to the wheel. Our greatest danger is that we will be satisfied with too little; that we will ac cept merely a return to pre-war condi- tions. That is what those who profited most by pre-war conditions—and by some of the war conditions that grew out of them—are most anxious for. It is what e rest of us be careless about, / f this country Is going to get its fair share of the benefits that come in the wake of war these are a few of the things to be insisted on: 1. No after-the-war profiteering. 2. A better day’s pay for a fair day's work, and some system of government- guaranteed continuous employment for the man whose wages mean his chance to be a real, family-raising social asset. 3. A simpler, fairer, and more direct tax law based on ability to pay rather than ability to evade. 4. Operation for the people, not for the profits on a “public be damned” plan, of such public utilities as railroads, coal mines, street cars, light, heat and power companies, telephone and telegraph lines, and our new merchant marine. It was for progress—progress in democ- racy—that our soldiers fought in France, and won. When they come back to their own homes are we are going to give them just parades and bands and empty words, and not the real thing? Not on your life! That isn’t the American way.
