ALBANY, OREGON. TUESDAY. MARCH 23
THE PIIjGRIMS' ANNIVERSARY
P
This year will see a remarkable celebration of the ter
centenary of the landing of the Pilgrims. The celebration
will include all people and classes in the United States, and
the other English-speaking countries will take parr as well.
Great Britain, Canada and Australia will observe the anni
versary in some appropriate manner, and the various cele
brations will all be part of one big scheme. The plans arc
in charge of a committee of governors and other high civil
and military authorities, and this committee will work in con
junction with committees in the other countries.
Patriotic and civic societies of all kinds might well line
up an3 do their part in making this celebration a success.
The beginnings of America are of strange significance
in these days of a world struggle toward freedom. The fu
ture of America is of grave importance, as a beacon light
showing backward nations the way in the great principles
of representative government. It is fortunate that this anni
versary falls at this time, so that America and the world may
be reminded what the Pilgrims sought and fought for.
Americans especially will have to search their heart and con
science, resolving anew to keep unstained the many things
that the Pilgrim Fathers established. They are in danger
from more than one source.

BERLIN AND WASHINGTON
o
The latest attempt at counter-revolution in Germany is
mainly an effort to evade the terms of the peace treaty. The
Junkers do not want to make reparation to the Allies; the
militarist leaders do not want to be tried for their war crimes;
all of the crowd responsible-for the war want to dodge re
sponsibility. '
There is doubtless an element of imperalism, too, in this
outbreak. Many of those active in it would like to bring
back the Hohenzollerns, setting up a royal figurehead anew
in order to restore their caste to its old honors and preroga
tives. But above everything else appears the desire to evade
a just settlement with Germany's outraged and victorious
enemies.
And whence has this bold undertaking drawn its inspira
tion? From the United States. The coup would never have
been sprung in Berlin if the leaders had not trusted in
American support.
It matters not that the support they counted on is pas
sive rather than active. As long as the United States gov
ernment is divided on the treaty question, as long as the
United States has not ratified the treaty and taken its
stand with the Allies to enforce the strong peace dictated
to Germany, as long as there is no assurance of a League of
Nations with sufficient power to hold any menacing nation
to a strict accountability, Germany will continue its sul
len resistance to the treaty terms, German politics will re
main unsettled and no German government can be depended
on to fulfill its pledges. This revolt may be suppressed, but
others will come. Thus there will be no palment of Ger
many's war obligations, and no assurance of European
peace. The victory of civilization will be frittered away.
And the quarrelling short-sighted, partisan statesmen in
Washington will be responsible!.

annexing the planets first thing we know, and planting the
