AYOR HYLAN’S message to Police Com- M missioner Enright ordering immediate ac- tion against the Ku Klux Klan in New York City is in his usual flamboyant style. But for all that, he does go to the real point of the Ku Klux danger. There is no denying that Ku Kluxism is a menace to law and order everywhere it shows itself. The fine words.of Klan lecturers to the effect that the organization is not anti-Negro, anti-Catholic, anti-Jewish or anti-alien is belied by the record. In New York, particularly, with its mixed citizenship, Klanism would prove a serious threat to civil, peace. By the very nature of our governmental sys- tem the menace of the Klan must be met locally by States-and communities rather than by de- pendence on the Federal power. New York must face the menace and meet it by lawful and orderly processes of law. This does not mean, as Mayor Hylan says, to “drive them (the Klansmen) out of our city as rapidly as you discover them Any such action would out-Ku-Klux the Klan itself. On the other hand, the Rev. Mr. Haywood’s assumption that Mayor Hylan is acting as the result of his personal religious affiliation is en- tirely unwarranted. Mayor Hylan will have the support of the great majority of Protestants, of all those who try to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, who would have scorned Klanism gospel of hate There is every reason to tr and its every lawful and orderly method of curbing the Klan, But beware of excesses of zeal. Do not try to fight the Ku Klux -by arousing the Ku Klux spirit iO WONDER. IS easy to understand why certain Luited 1 ] States Senators and the Harding Administra- tion itself should find M. Clemenceau’s presence in this country a disturbing one. The eloquent old Frenchman is awakening all sorts of half-forgotten echoes. When he speaks it brings back the vibrant voice of America in 1917 proclaiming its new detty toward the world It brings back the great professions of American purpose in and bevond the war In shost, it brings back to popular memory national ideals that certain groups of Americans hoped were being forgotten—some of these groups for political and partisan reasons; others because they openly and honestly did not and do not be- lieve in those ideals; others still who, though they believed in have sineé shrunk the ideals then from the cost, real or fancied. of living up to them It seems a long time back to the marching away of those youny Americans who were to give the United States a new glory as a leader and protector of civilization It even seems a long time back to President Harding's first message to the Sixt declared it migh seventh Con- #ress in which he be advisable lor the United States, with reservations, to “en- gage under the existing treaty” along with its late Allies Since then has been a lot of forgetting forgetting upon which the whole {larding-Ilughes foreign policy has been founded No wonder there is disquietude at Washington over the visit of an impressive old m: sho is constantly saving Remember! THE LOGICAL CONCLUSION 1! $ doubtful whether President Harding added any strength to his subsidy plea by empha sizing Lasker Mr Harding stressed the great superiority of private initiative over Government operation. He also emphasized the point that Mr. Lasker's com- petent management had cut the monthly shipping deficit from $16,000,000 to $4,000,000. It ought to be easy for any one who thinks for © achievements of his ship manager, Mr himself to tie these two points together and reach the conciusion that private operators should be able to make a profit without a subsidy. As a matter of fact, that ts what the operators of our present unsubsidized lines evidently be- lieve What has really happened in the shipping world has been a tremendous after-the-war slump affecting shipping everywhere. Shipping in all countries has been a losing proposition since the war, cid Mr. Lasker as well as the shipping men elsewhere has cut deficits be- cause of gradual improvement in the demand for shipping. If the shipping business improves, as is to be expected, Mr. Lasker might eventually be able to show a profit. So could private initia- tive in shipping. One of the best, easiest and most satisfactory methods of stimulating shipping would be repeal of the Fordney-McCumber Tariff. That would also be according to the election mandate, which the Ship Subsidy Bill is not IRELAND'S ONLY WAY. HE execution of Erskine Childers, one of De Valera’s chief aids and a ringleader of re- bellion, is after all only the logical answer of the Irish Government to De Valera’s own challenge De Valera has declared the principles of the “by nature irreducible and not open to compromise.” De Valera has said Irish Republicans to be “Victory for the republic or utter defeat and extermination are now the alternatives.” In the face of such a challenge, unless the ma- jority of the Irish people are to go on suffering indefinitely from attack and bloodshed at the hands of a minority, there is a point beyond which 4 policy of mercy cannot prevail Childers was notoriously an murderous enemy of the present Government. inveterate and He was suspected of having planned the ambush that killed Michael Collins. Despite his family, his education, his gifts of mind and his courage, he was the sworn foe of the course the Irish people have chosen for their welfare risks as any other outlaw. When a few Irishmen are fighting the great body of Irishmen with the avowed purpose of imposing upon Ireland the will of a fanatical mitiority, the self-protection of the majority and its constituted Government demands measures that will most quickly end the struggle The life of the new Ireland is a bigger thing than the lives of rebels He took the same They are putting amplifiers in the House of Representatives that members may hear each other, Wouldn't it help good government more to put the amplifiers in committee rooms so that the press gallery could lear the pleas of the lobbyists? sO BONDS AND LICENSES.
