Henry Grnves, United States forester, ex plained in a statement today that tho inquiry Into tho lumber Industry re cently inaugurated by tho depart ments of agriculture and commerce had not been undertaken with any "inquisitorial attitude." Extension of foreign trade was one of the points aimed at, he said. "I wish to point out particularly," said Mr. Graves' statcmont, "that the present Inquiry by tho government is not undertaken with any inquisitor ial attitude, but In a constructive spirit to find out and to bring for ward for tho benefit of the public and of the Industry Just what the present conditions are and what the causes of tho depression. "Tho thrco principals to be covered are: "Plrst, tho economic problems from tho point of vlow of tho producer; second, tho distribution with a view to finding out ways to benefit both tho producer and tho censumer: and third the extension of foreign trade." trims te roses To Hie Editer: For tlio jmflt six .vents I have pruned up roses everv .vein in No vember.

It is published in violation of the universal newspaper law of ignoring unsigned communications, merely because it is typical of a certain element and un doubtedly voices their sentiments. The communication fbllewti: To tlio Editer: If you was n fnlr minded (tenon, as jou ought to bo In your business you would publish the article by Herman Hlddlo from "Sunset" an well as tlio one-sided atfalr written by Sir Ollbcrt Parker. I was born In this country ami nr- mother before tne, but every ilrop of blood In me Is German nml 1 am proud or It, and an Kngllshmhn cannot down an American or a German as they do the yellow and the black, dic tating; their every move. When my subscription to your loely paper runs out 1 will look else where for1 the news. I have lived hero fifteen years and have a family of young people that feel the Fame as 1 do. Mr8, The lail Tribune docs not pretend to voice the German viewpoint. It aims rather to voice the American view point. It does not care for war discussions, as they accom plish nothing, and believes in the soundness of President llson s neutrality advice.. The Mail Tribune has never refused to print any side of any argument and will cheerfully reprint any article our unknown critic sends inprovided it is not too long and not sent anonymously. The Mail Tribune is not anti-German and not preju diced against the German people, lt is. however, an op ponent of that militarism, of that kaiserism, of that Prus sianism which has kept Europe an armed camp for forty ycare and is now drenching half the world with blood. Jt opposes that philosophy which substitutes the right of might preached by Nietzsche for the right of humanity, preached by Christ. The Mail Tribune views as a return to barbarism and primitive savagery the ethics I - . k . .- oi Germany, which seem to the right of the strong to ficd in Uelginm. To see the bloody trade of human butch ery so exalted in the seats of the mighty indicates a nation mad with militarism a relapse to the barbarism of the dark ages. The philosophy of the German ruling caste is set forth by Treitschke. Nietzsche and such modern authorities as Bernhardt. Here are a few quotations from the hitter's book, "Germany and the Next War." which show the viewpoint of Prussian kaiserism: "War Is In itself a good thing. It Is a biological necessity of the first importance." (P. IS.) "The Inevltablcness, the Idealism, the blessing of war as an Indispensable and stimulating law of development must be repeatedly emphasized." (P. 37.) "War la the greatest factor in the furtherance of culture and power. Ktforts to secure peace are extraordinarily detrimental as soon as they In fluence politics." (P. 2S.) "Fortunately these efforts can never attain their ultimate objects In a world bristling with arms, where healthy egotism still directs the policy of mDst countries. God will see to It. rays Treitschke. that war always recurs as a drastic medicine for the human race." (P. 3G.) "Efforts directed toward the obllltion of war are not only foolish, but absolutely immoral, and must bo stigmatized as unworthy of tho human race." (P. 34.) "Courts ot arbitration are pernicious delusions. The whole Idea repre sents a presumptuous encroachment on natural laws of development which can only lead to tho most disastrous conbequences for humanity gener ally." (P. 34.) "The maintenance of peaco never can bo or may be tho goal of a policy. (P. 2Ti.) "Efforts for peace would, ir they attained their goal, lead to general degeneration, as happens everywhere In nature where the struggle for existence is eliminated." (P. 25.) "Huge armaments arc In themselves desirable. They are the most necessary precondition of our national health." (P. 11.) "The end nil and be all of a state Is power, and he who Is not man enough to look- this truth In the face should not meddle with politics." (Quoted from Treltschko's "Polltlk." "Tho state's high moral duty Is to Increase Its power." (P. -I5-G.) "The state Is Justified In making conquests whenever Its own ad vantage seems to require additional territory." (P. -IC.) "Self preservation Is the state's highest ideal and Justifies whatever action it may take if that action be conducive to that end. Tho state is the solo Judge of the morality of its own action. It is in fact above moral ity, or, In other words, whatever Is necessary Is moral. Recognized rights (I. e.. treaty rights) aro never absolute rights, they are of human origin, and, therefore, Imperfect and variable There are conditions In which they do not correspond to the actual of things. In this caso Infringement of tho right appears morally Justified." (P. 49.) "In fact, the state is a law unto Itself. Weak nations have not the same right to live as powerful and vigorous nations." (P. 34.) "Any action In favor of collective humanity outside tlie limits ot tho stnte and nationality is impossible." (P. 25.) The theories advocated by this modern Mafhievalism are as mischievous as they are false utterly disproven by history. "Was even pagan philosophy in the benightencd early ages of the world more crude and brutal' They voice, however, the sentiments of Prussian militarism. Living up to them caused the present cataclysm. In them selves they answer the query, why Germany has not the sympathy of Americans in the present war. There is no ill-will toward the German people. The Germany of invention, science, music, education, skill, is universally loved. But there is no love for the brutal war lord who to American minds symbolizes lust for power, the obsolete and absurd doctrine of divine rights, the medieval exploitation of the peaceful many for the bloodthirsty few. Our Political Geyser If It was all political baby talk, why iiro more than a column of supposed ly valuable editorial space in the Tri bune In an attempt to answer it? Why fcearch and ransack tho Trl Ijuiio'h editorial vocabulary to find epithet to hurl at this political baby talk? Why this withering and Jab orod sarcasm, this thunderous In vective, this railing and violence of language, if it was only political baby talk? Hut tho sldo-uplittlng moment of tho performance conies when the writer without stopping to take another drink, abuptly discontinues tho u so of such terrifying expletives as "spluttering," "bplendirerous," "plutocracy," "plunder," "spouting," "opproblous," "cmlnatlon," "Irrldes cent," 'eruption," Hannalsm," "Can nonlsm," "predltory," "lootors," "toryiam," "roactlonarylsm," "stand paMsiri," "robbery," "Jobbory" and "pilfering," and solemnly tells us that "The nation faces an unprece dented porlod of prosperity," and that "biiblness In all lines Is reviving."
