THE GREAT EXPERIMENT. Perhaps it Js Ju.t as wdl. after all. that the holhcvikl are bob-he lkinK the way they are in Kusfcla. The experience must be very unpleasant for liussia. and is perturbing enough even to outsiders at this fairly safe distance, but much ood may conn.' out of

If the yruWy.r-n ttops and Hp; juarrelüng nationH acquiesce, the peace conference v i 1 1 have won a signal triumph, full of f.oofl omen for the future. It will, in-de-d, ha -xei -isel one of the principal functions of the forthcoming lecu of nations. Its action is thtiefor a bi st p toward the completion of that leaiju? aiui the fulliliiient of tlie world's desire.

MONEY FOR ROADS. This should be the greatest road-buildinp year in American history. The demand for better highways ii universal Nearly every htato and nearly every section of every state has been plannint; new road construction, or ou'-iht to be planning it, to the limit of its ability. That rbility is to be largely increased by federal aid. An appropriation of 000,000 to further this pur-

lor the first time, the political and economic theories ! :uala' une-third of that amount available up to June

of Karl Marx are being put into practice literally. For the first time radical hociulUm is having a try-out, and having it on a vast .-v ale, with the world looking on. Other nations may almost congratulate themselves, even now, that any nation had the rashness to tackle buch a task. For though the menace btill looms, alrendy the experiment seems marked for failure, just as any clear-headed thinker, seeing facts as they are. might have foretold. Modified tyjy s of boclaHüni may succeed, by adapting themselves to human nature and contemporary Institutions. Marxism, the dream of a mere theorist who could not even earn a living for his own family, goes against some of the deepest instincts of human nature and against unassailable facts of modern business life. Abolishing all private property, it abolishes the principal incentive to work. At the same time it destroys credit, without which modern business cannot be conducted. This is vital. It is mainly from the destruction of credit that the present economic paralysis has come over Russia. That paralysis, in time, will surely destroy the bolshevist movement, unless Russians by millions choose to continue indefinitely defying facts and starving for theories. It is an error of reason, become epidemic. Unless 'all the ordinary processes of sane thinking are false, it will run its course, jiving way to a reaction of common sense. Marxism will then have had its day in court and been repudiated by tip acid test of experience. If it will work anywhere, it will work in Russia. If it won't wrk in Russia, we shall be done with it.

.to of the present year, und the other two-thirds the two following years. This is in addition to the millions already provided under the existing federal aid act. As in the act mentioned, this new aid will bo contingent on the various states or parts thereof, guaranteeing to fpLtid an amount e'iual to what the governm -nt contributes. This should be a powerful stimulu3 to local enterprise. Ir. is also rp.eitied that in employing men for the work, preference shall be given to discharged soldiers, thus helping to keep down the supply of unemployed lab The l e.vsonableness of so doing should commend itself to any tdate or county.

It Is none tor. soon to start preparations for the j summer road-building campaign. There ought to be )

several hundred millions spent on roads this year. The expenditure of a round billion would be a wise and p-olita'. le investment.

THE JOBLESS SOLDIERS. It is a wise rule made last week by the war department permitting soldiers to remain in the army until they can obtain civilian jobs. It amounts to letting the soldier himself decide when he will leave the service. He is expected, presumably, to make an honest effort to find employment elsewhere, but he is not being forced. Any enlisted man whose unit is being demobilized may hand in a written request to remain. He will then ho retained until ho obtains civilian employment. Ills salary will oe paid as usual, and if he is married his family will continue to draw its allotment of his pay. The men held over will be attached to the most eonvenient units and used "where their services will L most useful." There is no lack of work to which these men might be put. If the business situation should be such as to keep larg number in the service, they could be utilized on a big scale in irrigation and drainage work, clearing forests, building docks or dams and other ac

tivities of a constructive and conservational nature.

To the Kditor of The I'ost: Sir: In your issue last Saturday in the people's column, under tho heading "Soldiers' Monuments." your correspondent asked why it would not he better to put up a building as a soldier's memorial, one which would be of practical utility. It is this materialistic attitude which had a great deal to do with Europe's idea that we were a dollar-grabbing nation. A monument in honor of patiotism should he a memorial and not a money-making or money-saving or utilitarian proposition. If the money ued for the soldiers' memorial was the only money available in the world, there might be a slight excuse for a public utility
