What Are We (EDITORIAL.) Once more we have escaped another world war by the skin of our teeth. Thanks to Premier Lloyd George’s spunk, the bloody Turk has been temporarily halted on his way to the gates of Vienna, and—who knows how far?—beyond! For an indefinite period—it may be for a few days or a few weeks only—we have a breathing spell. In the interval, what is OUR government going to do? * * * *- £* os * In the early days of the present Near Eastern crisis, The Star’s Washington correspondent, aft- er a meeting of President Harding’s cabinet, ap- proached one of its leading members and asked what the cabinet’s view had been in thé matter. “Tt wasn’t even mentioned,” the cabineteer re- plied indifferently. His manner indicated he considered it Foolish Question No. 57. Later on, however, when war between Turkey and Great Britain, at least, seemed inevitable, Secretary of State Hughes expressed an academ- ic interest. .He hoped that “suitable arrange- ments may be agreed upon in the interest of peace to preserve the freedom of the Straits,” and that racial and religious minorities might receive protection! We're strong for freedom of the seas. Sure! We are absolutely opposed to the Turks mas- sacring Christians. You bet! We are for world peace. Yea, verily! We would look with disfavor upon aréther world war. O, Star-Spangled Banner! Indeed, we feel so strongly on these points that we are willing to let England and the rest of the world fight until the last man is dead, supporting our policy. * % &% * * & * * But, really, what are WE goingtoDO? , Now is the time for our government to decide —now, during the lull. We must either take a hand in helping avoid war, or be prepared to accept the consequences when the war comes. ‘How do YOU feel about it?
