New Yorkers generally have been surprised and shocked to learn that many law-abiding, hard-working Germans, some of whom have} taken out their first citizenship papers, are being summarily dis charged by factories and business houses in this city. | United States Marshal McCarthy's statement is timely and to the point: Such action of American employers cannot be too severely condemned. It is un-American and not in accord with the Public interest or the epirit of President Wilson's procla- mation. | By the order creating certain “barred sones” the authori- ties at Washington do not intend that alien Germans shall be persecuted. The Government desires that law-abiding Germans be treated with fairness and be given every opportunity to continue in employment and the support of those dependent | upon them. It is for this reason Attorney<ieneral Gregory ruled that permite giving Germans the privilege of free circulation wit in their Federal Districts should be granted in all worthy cases. It ie with the same thought in mind that thousands of these permits will be issued in New York. Only a perverted form of patriotism would throw good workers out of a job to become a burden upon the nation. If New York em- ployers guilty of this injustice are acting merely from selfishness and unwillingness to take a littlo trouble, then public opinion should uso} plain words with them. If they think the Government by its “barred! zone” regulation meant in any way to suggest or encourage boycotting | of German labor and German industry in this country they cannot be too quickly undeceived. | cnn “It hes taken many generations to convince the English people that they cannot govern’ Ireland,” notes Sir Horace | Plunkett, “but only a few months to learn that they cannot form a system of selfgovernment for that country.” The Irish themselves don’t seem likely to do the long- wished-for job in a jiffy, But it's the grand chance they've got this time!
