The wonder is" that Mr. Wilson did not pass from this vale ft tears when he looked at the papers yes terday rnornlng. , Mr. Wilson was smashed by those who. attacked hi policies on the ground that they were likely to in volve America in foreign entangle ments. , Mr. Wilson had proposed that tha United States join a world council for the settlement of world problems. But it was no go we would not be entangled. ' ; And now the succeeding admin istration , proposes that America take over the thorniest of all world problems and settle it single- handed. ' . If Mr. Wilson didn't have apo plexy when he read the news, he ought to-be fairly safe from that ailment ' . , The Daily News has consistently and : persistently , championed . par ticipation by America in the settle ment of European chaos, including reparations; but it so nf esses that this move , takes its bream. An American commission to say what Germany shall pay the British em pire, ruled out, the French' republic ruled out, the kingdoms of Italy and Belgium ruled out, Germany, of course, to keep silence, nothing and nobody to have any say except the Americans it is a staggering con ception. " ' Yet we believe that it would have at least a fighting chance of success, a far better chance than any of the schemes that have been tried in vain. It would be treating the thing in a busiiiesa-like way. It would promise to get somewhere. It would be clear and definite. Most Important-ot all, it would bring to bear tin the greatest obstacle to peace the greatest power that exists in tha world today. It would put the United States to work, instead of sitting idly twiddling its thumb while the world goes to ruin. , But .talk about entanglements! If the final decision were a just one, i( would please nobody, because It would fix as the payment to be ex acted a greater sumjhan the Ger mans wish to pay and a smaller one than the allies hoped to receive. If Germany went .to rain, the re sponsibility .would 'be, laid at America's door. , If, on the other hand,' Germany rapidly recovered and became again a menace to the world, we should, of course, be under a moral obligation to defend civilisation against her. Both these results will ,.be prophesied, t and America wUI be blamtfd for both before either happens. Nevertheless, we must assume re sponsfbilify if we are' to" exercise authority.'" living, in the world at all 'in these days .is highly danger ous business, for a nation as for an individual. " If one Ts to live suc cessfully and, forcefully, one must disregard the risks after they have; been reduced as low as possible by reasonable conduct " ' ,: X.: Certainly it seems plain enough that nothing is going to be accom plished without American help; and if lor this country to take over the whole job - seems' appalling, that '-is better than for this country to shirk all responsibility whatever. After all, the allies won the war through a unified command. Perhaps they can win the peace by the same means. The military command was given to the French, undoubtedly the best ' soldiers in Europe. If there is to be a unified fiscal com mand, no doubt it should go to the Americans, in view of their unques tioned financial ability. . Indeed, discussion is useless. Ap parently if Paris agrees, the thing is done. The arrangement will be presented to the world as a fait accompli, so argument is a waste of breath. All that remains ns to decide whether one js to fall in line and -support it enthusiastically, or to fighY it Between such alter natives, it seems to us that the duty of every sjatriotic American is plain. This is a foreign question and par tisanship should stop at the water's edge. There is' nothing to do but give the administration ,all possible encouragement and support. Nevertheless-don't you know that Woodrow Wilson opened his eyes! A SUGGESTION WHICH IS YET TO ASSUME CONCRETE- FORM. The president of the University of North Carolina includes in s formal statement to the public that the medical college plan as now de veloped ".deserves thoughtful and 'serious consideration. There is as yet no complete setting forth of the subject upon -which such consid eration may be based, but the statement from President , Chase furnishes a foundation. "Any plan," says Dr, Chase, "which may b de vised must be acceptable to the trustees of the institutions eon cerned, to the national authorities In medical education, and it must not violate the constitutional .pro vision guaranteeing the separation of church and state." This pre sents, in appearance, a formidable enough. set of difficulties; but it Is not a complete statement of them. "The institutions concerned" in clude much more than the educa tional institutions which now are or hereafter may become indorsers of the plan. The suggestion in its present state contemplates the co operation of the University of. North Carolina and Trinity college. it Is apparent that Wake Forest, Davidson and perhaps other col leges will be invited to participate. In any event whatever is proposed will have to have the Indorsement of that considerable part of the population represented denoml- nationally by thes institutions; a fact which Dr. Chase recornlies when he speaks of way to be found "which commends itself to the sober' public opinion of the state' ; if such a way cannot be found,, h says, "of course- the project must be abandoned." This is a fair and candid deliverance. and . deserves to- be received and considered by the people wjthout prejudice. : " " : ' A full statement of the business we believe wUT contain these par ticulars: There is a single stipule tion on the part of the benefactors, that the institution shall be located at Durham. Bo much indeed is al ready clear. That it is not to be on the 'campus of Trinity , college will no doubt be expliclty provided. The institution will have its being as a separate legal entity, with a board of trustees, which shall in clude Vepresentatives of the insti. tutions participating, and of which board a majority shall represent the' state. It will be, recognised as fundamental that where the' state participates it must control;" and this control will consist in the cir cumstance that a majority of the members of the board will repre sent the state. Among the requirements of the American Medical association, which has, so far as medical education is concerned, the power to kill and to make alive, is that there shall be affiliation with some institution of general higher education; a medical college must be part of some uni versity, or college of general cul ture. How to conform to this rule an . institution, existing . under a separate charter, with a governing body of its own; an institution in things practical and essential in dependent, is one of the problems formally admitted to exist, .one which must be worked out by the proponents of the plan, a condition precedent to the final offering of the plan. This is in no sense a part of the responsibility of the public', but a responsibility of those who bring forward this scheme as a solution of the difficulty of adequate financial support for a. greatv medi cal school, nd of the doctors of medicma in their organised capacity. The trustees of Wake Forest, of Davidson and Other denominational institutions are to be presumed en- tire ljr. competent to settle for each institution the .question -whether or not It is lawful and expedient to participat in such an enterprise; and it is now in order for the au thorities of Trinity and the Uni versity to lay before the people, and before these trustee bodies, an explicit prospectus. .If the plan as formulated is found objectionable to any institution invited toTpartici- pater-the objections wiU be stated, and perhaps they may be met with modifications that will be satisfac tory. Should a tentative agreement be effected with Wake Forest for example, that does not meet with the approval of the Baptist people of the state, that denomination is abundantly able to handle the situation ; it has eloquent and pow erful voices in plenty and they will be heard. The question of partici pation or non-participation will in any case be purely a denominational one.. : But if any considerable de nominational, protest should exist after a full presentation of the plan, then the question would pre sent itself to every . citizen not sharing that point of view whether it would be expedient to invest the state money in an enterprise ' so handicapped; and Dr. Chase has said that unless a proposal can be pre sented that commends itself to the sober public opinion, of the state, "the project must be abandoned." There remains considerable to be accomplished before the "sugges tion" can be offered as a concrete plan, definite as to methods and limitations, for the serious ' and thoughtful consideration asked en its behalf; meanwhile that the thoughtful citizen will preserve an open mind is by ito means an un reasonable request CO ON, PLEASE, MR- LAN CLE Y. A lot of folks will be interested in further psrticulars from Repre sentative Langley of the operations of this joint postal commission, of which not one citizen in' ten thou sand ever heard before and which, the chairman of tha house public buildings and grounds committee now discloses, is the real source of opposition to a public buildings bill. Used by a few big building and real estate concerns to put the public Lbuildings of the country into the control of a few private individuals. is a right serious description. Hav ing a policy of renting private buildings "in the larger cities to the government at enormous rent als" is equally so. The disclosures seem to point to a coarser form of graft than the pub lic generally, has supposed was to be found in these latter, days; the general idea is that people who get out of politics and out of the' public treasury; more than a reasonable taking are under the necessity of exercising both subtlety and finesse GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS, SATURDAY,' DECEMBER 23, , The subject is one that will be pursued with especial concern by folks dwelling in the smaller cities, neglectej because "the rent could not be raised high enough to tempt these great concerns. .NEWS OF STATESVILLE.
