Senator Lodge was onjce an advocate of a league of nations, but has since accommodated his convictions to his partisanship. He was once the most fiery of the foes of Germany. Will he now join Mr. Knox in the charge that the United States has inflicted "a cruel peace” on the Prussian plunderers? Mr. Knox ought to reprimand the American army and navy for having Inflicted a painful defeat on Germany. It was their victory that made possible .what he calls the ‘‘cruel peace” we would have imposed on the Prussians but for months of obstruction by him and certain other Republicans. General Pershing has lost no friends and suffered nothing in iprestige for his refusal to appear before a Republican committee on “investigation” and apologize for winning the war under a Democratic administration. The conference of capital and labor called by President Wilson is certain to bring them closer in viewpoint as well as in a 'physical sense. Contact is the beginning of good understanding.

By the way, what observant reader can name an important bill that the present Republican congress has passed In the three and a half months of the extra session? Mr. Knox’s recipe for being kind to Genmany is to be unjust to every other nation which she has conquered or attacked in the last 200 years. z It is hardly unfair ' to wonder whether this kindly concern for Germans has for its object those in Germany or those in the United States.
