We note that some of these clubs are being formec because they say President Wilson did not give the “home Jand” a square deal in the peace conference proceedings. In short, these citizens of our country are going into Politics to uphold the political interests of the land from which they immigrated. Some of these gentlemen came from nations that were our allies in the late war. But that is incidental. We hold that right now is the time to stop this worship of fatherland ideals; this making of foreign politics a local issue, this combining in clubs and societies to further the interests of any nation, but the one where you make your living, and whose institutions you are sworn to uphold. Every club of this sort perpetuates un-Americanism. Every foreign issue, no matter what it may be, that be-| comes a slogan for American citizens, to an extent, divides this nation into national or racial factions. 4 ‘There is only room in this country for American citi- Zens who have no yearning or allegiance or traffic with foreign policies. Unless in this, the hour when our recently escaped peril ds still in our memories, and the hour when the sacredness of loyal citizenship still seems the greatest thing in the world; unless now we definitely frown on all this hyphena tion, this bickering over European issues, these attempts to inject the politics of Rome or Paris or Berlin or Petro- ‘ or London or Vienna or Tokio into domestic parties ‘and campaigns, we will, in time, find ourselves divided into ‘cliques and hyphenations, with no national ideas and no! anchor of patriotism to be the lee when the storms We look with disfavor on these attempts to make po + litical issues of foreign quarrels. It is a big enough chore for any man to be an Ameri- citizen, and perform the duties a loyal citizen should Most of these gentlemen who glorify the holidafs of motherland, who extol in festive session the heroes of fatherland, who spend so much of their time following dodgings of foreign diplomacy have no ear for the cries the land where they reside. These gentry deem this country a meal ticket, and more. The man who preaches straight Americanism, pure and * filed, will not be popular in many cities in this country Many years, but it is a message that must be preached ; season and out, lest we become a nation of warring ‘Sects, as unstable as the old Austrian empire, and as with- out true ideals of unity as Bolshevik Russia. The traops that are coming back from Archangel after protecting good Russians from the Bolsheviki ht be employed in Mezico to protect good American from banilits. | | The Zero Hour | GINOR The crisis of the war is rapidly approaching. ig tg ee ee ae Within the next week, the German envoys to the peace BE A PLY ACE ference must accept or reject’ the peace treaty. | Flies have joined forces with the Reds.

That is, Congress ahead and spends money without ar idea of the amount they have to spend and the relation which the various expenditures bear to each other. Joseph W. Harriman, President of the Harriman National Bank, in a recent article in The Magazine of Wall Street, points out pithily exactly what the trouble is. He says that in the British Parliament the Chancellor of the Exchequer submits a written budget which contains an esti- mate of the Government's entire expendi tures for the coming year, including ap- | detailed statements of what the company is propriations, salaries, and other disburse- doing. And it would be just as easy for the ments. Every one can perceive exactly | United States of America to form a bud what is going to be spent and where the money will be spent, and every one is free to criticize and suggest.
