THE REAL GERMAN REFERENDUM. HEN Matthias Erzberger, head of the Commission, tells a Berlin meeting the German Armistice conditions which must and must not be included in a peace treaty acceptable to Germany, he is speaking, as he has spoken before, to comfort Ger wans with the illusion of a remaining power of resistance which they | , know they do not possess, ' It gives momentary solace to what is left of German pride to hear that Germany has no obligation to give compensation for acts committed after the first German peace proposal in December, 1916; that the case of Belgium is the only one involving moral obligation to make reparation; that French or Polish claims affecting respect- ively the Rhineland or Danzig will be treated as “crimes,” and that Germany must be given immediate admission to a League of Nations. | It is the German way, both in diplomacy and in war, to draw up| * formulae which can be contemplated by Germans as infallible and immovable, regardless of what happens to them afterward When the peace conditions dictated by the European Allies and the United States are presented to the German peace delegates ther will doubtless be a great parade of these German formulae, together | with darkest prophecies of what will happen in Germany unless the | Allied demands are relaxed, Then, as the Allies and the United States remain firm, it will! suddenly appear, as it has appeared before, how greatly the German formulae can become modified and fitted to enforced necessity with out putting Bolshevism in supreme command or even referring mat-! ters directly to the German people. | The great, compelling, popular referendum in Germany went on record last summer and fall when the German nation drew back in! utter exhaustion and refused to keep the German mil in further action. machine ry That referendum is stil! strong enough to earry Germany throu to @ peace that, to be just, is hound to be onerous from ey point of view. ry German 2 | BUILD A STAND FOR WOUNDED SOLDIERS. HE last thing the Mayor’s Committee of Welcome seems to have thought of was to give the 7,000 wounded soldiers in the city a chance to see the parade of the Twenty-seventii | Division, March 25. There is plenty of grandstand space for city officials, politicians and friends of the municipal administration. ‘There was money enough to provide thousands of persons of this class with comfortable places from which to view the parade, But the money was “all spent” before the Mayor's Coimmittee got around to considering the boys who did the fighting among the bullets and flying shell fragments and who came home maimed, crippled, wounded to their fellow countrymen, for whose safety they paid the price. Tops of buses in side streets, windows in the houses of residents | kind enough to offer them, or roped-off places on the sidewalk, are} deemed by the Mayor's Committee good enough eleventh-hour pro vision for these wounded men! The wounded soldiers ought to have a special grandstand themselves where they can be together and where part of the crowd | at least can pay them the honors that are their due, There is room for such a stand in Madison Square, south of the Victory Arch, It should he built forthwith. | It would be a disgrace to the city if the celebration of March 25 were to find fur-coated politicians and their friends overflowing| grandstand seats while wounded and crippled soldiers could expec enly odd corners here and there provided by the kindness of indi- vidual citizens, | No Mayor's Committee should bring New York to that. | + PART OF THE COST. EPORTING progress in “eliminating German influences in our | metal markets and our metal industry,” A. Mitchell Palmer, | former Alien Property Custodian, dwells upon the extent to which “the German metal octopus had spread his tentacles acroas the ocean and over the United States into Mexico and South America.” {from contr Three huge metal concerns in Germany had grown rapidly from small beginnings to international size and grip: “We find in their control not only German metal and chem- iea) companies, but also French, Belgian, English, A lian, American, Swiss, Austrian, Italian, Spanish and Mexican, In | addition they control syndicates for the exploration of mines in | South America, Hungary, Russia and on the In this vast combine we find chartered 245 separate companies, whose interests lie in almost every part of the globe and who African continent | | His Regiment! | | ro Hotter produce every known form of mineral.” Another reminder of the immense strides Germany was making jbrought up on th before 1914 toward a “conquest” of the world by commercial p lfor : Mr, Jarr also dropped the subject! the war didn't give men any more : " , |for m dU. r repe , J t r i" . . . ¢ ‘ tration.
