Published every Thursday, dated Friday •'The Linotype Way.” Sprinadale. \rkan-.,-. Friday. May 9. 1919 WHAT WILL "THEY" SAY? Maybe you don’t care what "they" say? At least you may be telling your self that you don’t. Possibly you have been telling yourself that what you are doing is your own business and that you are not answerable to anyone in the world for what you may decide to do or not to do about the Victory Liberty Loan. You may have taken the attitude that after all what the other fellow may say about vour actions, means nothing to vou. That it will not '‘get you anything.” That whatever public opinion may have to say about a "slacker” in war or a "slacker” in peace will not amount to anything so far as you are personally concerned. But away down in your heart of hearts you know a great deal better. After all society is formed upon public opinion. You know that it will be mighty hard to go along without the good opinion of your fellow man. Public opinion has helped, us lift ourselves out of savagery and keep us there. Without it wt would be slipping back into the primi tive and outside of Russia and certain parts of fhe broken Central Empires no body wants to go back to Bolshevism and work his way up into the light again. So what "they” say amounts to some thing after all. We are mighty depend ent on each other when all is said and done. Nut one of us would get very far if we were to try and play a lone hand. We rely upon each other in good and in evil. We cant afford to isolate ourselves from the great mass of humanity and from the great mass of our fellow men "'no are all about us. We simply must take into consideration what the other feilow is saying and doing. We cannot afford to be left out of the herd, to do something that will bring down upon us the condemnation of our fellows. As to this matter of the Fifth and Last Loan, the Victory Liberty Loan we are all forced to take into account what wih be thought of us if we refuse to do our part. We must consider what the effect will oe later on. a year from now. iLe years from now or ten years in the future. We don't want the people all around us to know that we lacked in loyal tv.

With these words Senator Lodge closes an utterance in which he tries to undermine and destroy all that has been done to achieve a just peace an the princi ples and terms accepted by the allies as their war aims and by our enemies as the basis of surrender, and to organize a league to guarantee peace. He foments distrust and disunion at the peace table, when mutual confidence and harmony are necessary to a satisfactory conclusion and feeds the flame of imperialistic am bition in Italy, which is threatening a con flagration in Southern and Southeastern Europe. Senator Lodge has a right to his opinion and to an expression of it. but there are times when this right is best conserved by not exercising it. when judgement and the welfare of the country and of mankind call for judicious re straint. Certainly if ever there was such a time it is now. whet Italy is raging against all other honal m-presentat.V s m tn* peace conle.eiice on ire suoj€'*t ol Fiume and threatens to withdraw and block a united agreement. The Senator, as the head of the For eign Relations Committee, presumes to speak for the great party which has come into control of Congress, and his utter ance is calculated to destroy all Euro pean confidence in the President as the spokesman of the United States at the peace conference and to impair his influ ence. The Senator not only rejects the revised peace covenant and tries to unite j the Republican majority in the Senate against it,but he slaps the President in the j face by deliberately taking antagonistic , issue with him concerning the unjustifi able demand of Italy for Fiume. and thus undermines the agreement of the Presi dent with Lloyd George and Clemenceau on this point. He not only strengthens Italy's ambition and her contention against the conclusion of the peace con ference. but gives aid and comfort to our enemies who are eagerly seeking oppor tunity to disrupt the allies and block their efforts to enforce a just peace and to or ganize guarantees of justice and liberty. Logically, the Senator ought now' to support Japan’s claim to Kiauchau. which is linked with Italy's demand. Throwing, a monkey wrench into the works is a slang phrase that aptly de scribes what Senator Lodge is trying to do. His opposition to the clause of the covenant guaranteeing the political inde pendence and territorial integrity of all nations against outside aggression and his attitude on Fiume might he expected ir<>m an exponent of Prussianism. speak ing from a pre-war standpoint. It is evi dent that Senator Lodge will accept noth ing that bears the touch of President Wil son. His attitude in this crisis of world affairs is not that of a judicious states man, but of a cantankerous peanut poli tician. If he has his way the world will be cheated of a just enduring peace. Prus sian ism will be reseated in the saddle.— Post-Dispatch. I \\ (IN v(>| I- UUINK' I-ittK- K.«k.
