a vote of 30 to 18, adopted the Stacy

THE HERRON APPOINTMENT
Springfield Republican.
The criticism of the appointment of
Prof. George D. Herron as one of the
American representatives at the
Prinkipo conference on Russian af
fairs is justified in that it consti
tutes an offense to Americans who
were shocked iby h's radical matri
monial theorys ahjj entanglements in
the divorce court years ago in this
country. It does not help our dip
lomacy abroad ito st'r up unnecessary
criticism at home !by appointments
that re0 old moral controversies,
vich in themselves have noting to
do ith the question of the peace-
question 01 the peace
making.
It is true that Prof. Herron as a
socialist, has been a staunch and el
oquent advocate ' of the cause of al
lies throughout the war and his long
residence in (Switzerland gave him
exceptional opportunities to convey
to our 'government valuabfe infor
mation concerning the exiled revbYi
tionary leaders jfrom Jlupsia and
ether eastern and central European
(countries, who res'ded in iSwitzer
land before the downfall of the czar
Prof. Herron was there while Len
ir.e was, and doubtless he knew the
bolshevist leader personally, but he
has been consistently opposed to bol
shevism and to all forms of pro
German socialism.
The Herron appointment' from this
point of view, is as well justified as
was that of Charles Edward Rus
sell ,of New York, another socialist
as a member of the Root missior
to Russia in the spring of 1917. The
present bolshevist leaders obviously
cannot be tactfully .approached for
?n exchange of views by capitalists
or rvohporation lawyers.
It helps to clarify an American's
th'nking to remember that in Europe
democracy means socialism of one
form or another, moderate or radical.
The o'd Anglo-American conception
of democracy as something purely
political and not at all economic has
no grip today on the continental
mind. Moderate socialists of pro
entente sympathies, consequent'y.
may have to be used to establish com
munication with the rulers of thr
new Russia, whatever the native
party they may belong to.

report, thata the armistice with
Germany will be renewed on Febru

the allies reserving the right to
suspend it in the event of failure by
Germany to comply with the condit
ions. It is said that the terms will pro
vide that the Germans must cease
hostilities against the Poles and
maintain their forces within fixed
limits.
(During the brief perioj of the re
newed armistice, a special commis
sion will definitely draft the condit

last until the signatures of the peace

IN THE UNITED STATES
Wf&shington, Feb. 13. Approxima
tely one tenth of the population of
the United States is composed of un
naturalized aliens, according to Ray
mond F. Crist, deputy commissioner
of naturalization, who declared that
such a condition would not be per
mitted (by any other country, and ap.
pealed to American citizens to help
in making citizens of alien residents.
Te said there were 10,500,000 per
sons in this country who i!l retain
their allegiance to the land of their
birth.
"There are now 17,500,0" 0 aliens
in this country, yet barely 6,000,000
have become- citizens," Mr- Crist
said. "Such a tremendous unagsi-
milated mass means danger for am
ong these millions comparatively
few have knowledge of or interest
in American mstitutio is.
"It is our duty and our necessity
to convert this multitude into loyai
American citizens. By gathering m
their own quarters in large indus
trial centers they furnish a fertile
ground for all sort of propaganda
opposed to American institutions.
The war revealed thit while the
great majority of Germans m this
country were loyal, there were, nev
ertheless far too many German aliens,
who felt only hatred for the country
that has So generously received them.
It is time now to act to prevent any
recurrence of this experience.
"'It is the duty of every Amer
can citizen, who loves America, to
seek out his friends and acquaint
ances of foreign birth ani to prevail
upon them, if they wish to remain
here, to become citizens.
