WASHINGTON', Nov. 1 3. 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."

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

"plutocracy," "plunder," "spouting,"
"opproblous," "cmlnatlon," "Irrldes

"pilfering," and solemnly tells us
that "The nation faces an unprece

"biiblness In all lines Is reviving."
