HE country should be on , its guard against stories from the seat of war which tend to lull us into a false security. Such are stories telling of German dis couragement, hunger, war weariness and generally shattered morale. The Germans are not discouraged. They believe that they have been steadily "victorious during the war and feel able to end -it by one grand onset in France. So far as hunger l concerned, the food situation in Gere many grows constantly more favor able. Its home supplies are 1n better condition. The way has been opened for "importation from Russian dis tricts. Laborers in great numbers are now available from the conquered border provinces. We emphasize these indisputable facts because it is better for. us to understand exactly what our war problem Is. The Germans are pre paring for a terrible offensive in the west. Unless wp.

Or., June 30. To the Editor of The Journal In your issue of June 19 one of your correspondents writes of democratlo . propaganda and makes a very good suggestion. j Since we have gone or a knight's errand (expecting neither cash nor terri tory) "to make the world safe for democracy", and to secure a lasting peace, It seems to me eminently proper that the people themselves, the "great plain people," should begin to discuss what the peace treaty shall provide in order to secure the world for democ racy and to prevent future recurrences of what Is happening now. The peace conference (when It comes) should be democratic It should be open lo the public and Its proceedings fuUy reported and freely discussed ' by the people of each of the nations concerned. and of the world. That would be a good start toward a democratlo treaty. The American delegates should Insist. first, last and all the time, on the fol lowing fundamental principles : The total abolition of all secret di plomacy. A, little Investigation will show that secret diplomacy was the chief agency used in bringing about the pres ent war, and nearly all wars of mod ern times. Intrigue is twin brother to secret diplomacy. This country got along for over a hundred years without secret diplomacy and became the wonder and admiration of the world. In the event of a dispute that Is suf ficient to cause war between two or LJnore nations, no hostile action should one year. All diplomatic exchanges or conferences should be fully reported and freely discussed by the people of the nations Involved. If no agreement is reached by the diplomats In nine months the question of war or no war should be referred to the people of each nation tn- volted at a special election called for that purpose. The result of such elec tlon should be considered binding on them by the war declaring powers of each nation. If these Ideas are Incorporated In the peace treaty that Is to be. then we shall not have poured out our blood and treas-J ure In vain. A treaty not containing such provision would not be truly demo cratic. PEACE LOVEK. Post-War Ban on German Goods Baker, Or.. July 2. To the Editor of The Journal I notice on page 2 of The Journal of July 2 a dispatch saying that the British Seamen's union pro poses to boycott German ships. If half I have heard Is true 'of my neighbors and friends, the boycott will be uni versal throughout the countries of the allies. Can a good American. English man. Frenchman. Italian, or a citizen of any of the countries fighting for the freedom of the world, buy or use any thing that might possibly be of Ger man make? All the neutral countries will be under suspicion as Intermedi aries In the disposal of German goods. Everything made in Germany will be reeklrtK with the biooa or tne antes. The same hands that will make the goods for sale after the war are now murdering little children and helpless women. The same hands are violating Innocent girls and women every day with the sanction of .the officers above them, and with the full knowledge of the fact, from Kaiser BUI down. Can anyone., without horror at the thought, even so much as' handle any German made goods after the war? Can a parent give a child toys trat have a suspicion of the bloody hands that made them? Boycott the Germans? Why, there will be no need of any societies to arouse the people of the allied govern ments to a boycott of Germany. It win not need the death of someone near and dear to bring to each citizen the justice and righteousness of a boycott such as that. Everything they make for generations will be spotted with blood, and unclean. No one with any self-respect will knowingly use or pur chase any article, either from Germany or from any of the neutral countries ad Jacent to Germany; for Germany will use the neutral countries as catspaws. If she can, after the war. Whether an article comes direct from Germany or a so-called neutral country, it should be well established that lt Is not Ger man made, before It Is Introduced for sale. C. C TOWNES. Post-War Reconstruction Portland, July 1. To the Editor of The Journal Because of an assembly-approved suggestion made by the chairman of the late Prohibition convention held in Portland, at which I was a visitor, that he "did rot see the point" of my ar gument on their platform statement on reconstruction after the war and on their labor and capital legislation, con nected therewith, please allow this pub lic explanation. - Taking the pronouncement made by President Wilson at his Cleveland speech, January 29, 1916, wherein he said, "The world will never be the same after this war: the change may be for weal or for woe, but It will ba fundamental and tremendous." we naturally expected that the progressive Prohibition party, when Its platform talked of reconstruc tion, meant something along the line of President Wilson's predictions and not the mere rebuilding of the waste caused by the war. To my mind their platform expression on reconstruction, labor and capital con sisted of nothing more than the most an cient platform verbiage. We who think and talk of reconstruction have no ref erence to the mere rebuilding of war waste. It Is the "fundamental and tre mendous changes" In reconstructing the new world that are for us to consider. We well know it Is Impossible to recon cile labor and capital as co-existing fun damentals in the new world that an eternal class war continually emanates from their Irreconcilable differences. Lay Dor's function Is to predace the world's necessaries; capltaTa function is to ex ploit the labor that produces. One Is a necessary and the other a wholly unnec essary element In supplying our every need and pleasure. When we hear con ventions talk about reconstruction after the war we naturally hope for something fitting- the price we are paying for the opportunity to reconstruct. If there Is nothing better in the minds of political parties than a rehabilitation that-leaves ua in the old. ruts where economic -wars are generated between Individuals, states SMALL CHANGE We" read with pleasure when Hale's men make some galas oa the Somme. . .
