OFF COMMITTEE
As Chairman of Foreign Relations
Committee, Missouri Senator is a
Profound National Calamity
Ignorant, Without Vision and Defi
cient In Patriotism.
By CHAIU.KS EDWARD RUSSELL
WASHINGTON, March 21.
Everything now for t!: national de
fense wo must huve it.
No man can sny what may came
. of tho situation that has been forced
upon this country. Any moment we
ma be brought face to face with the
most tremendous crisis in our his
tory. Get ready for events that may test
all the nation's nerve and all its re
sources they are easily possible
, This is but tho plainest of com
mon senscj. It is self-evident duly.
K nesds 119 argument.
New Clmirmun Needed.
And tho first thing necessary to
put us in to a reasonable state of
defense and security is to get another
chmrninii for the senate committee
on foreign relations.
This is imperative. The foreign
relations committee is now the most
important in congress. Tho course
we shall steer in the troublous, doubt
ful days at hand and (he outcome
lor tins country dccnd largely upon
that committee.
The present chairman is Senator
William J. Stone of Missouri.
There arc the gravest reasons of
nahonal welfare why Senator Stone
should not cotinuc to hold that posi
tion. Some of them need not be dwelt
upon here. In the present crisis it
is enough to know that the following
tilings are true of him :
Ho has 110 sympathy with the pol
icy, course or faith of the adminis
tration; At n time of great perplexity and
ganger he led on the floor of the sen
ate a fight against the only possible
plan to uphold (he nation;)! honor in
foreign affairs.
Out or Sympathy.

vica chainnan the duty of managing
such a measure that his own com
lnitteo had reported.
He attempted to add to the Lodge
resolution of inquiry concerning the
Ziininennann note a question that
under the conditions was insulting
and hostile to the nation.
Ho has not failed ni any critical
time since our present complications
began to take an attitude that can
only be construed as sympathetic
with Germany; bo has never said
anything to show that he was ready
" to cast his lot with the country of bis
birth.
He was involved in tho accepted
Version of the celebrated intrigues of
Sunday, February (, the day after
von riei-istorlf's dismissal; accord
ing to that, version he was in consul
tation with those that were trying to
nullify tho effect of the president's
action in sending von liernsturff

Densely Ignorant.
Ho was the man generally believed
to be aimed at when on the next day

There are still other things to con
sider. Senator Slnno has 110 acquain
tance with foreign affairs, lie has
only the rudimentary acquaintance
with foreign countries, lie does not
know what (icrnuiny means to the
jvorld. lie has no conception of the
titanic conflict between ideas that is
the base and substance of the Euro

been called war or nciiee. He docs

Without Vision.
If he knows anything about his
tory he has never once revealed it in
the senate. If he hns any acquain

At such a time rs this in the life
.of this nation, to have such a man
in such a place of commanding in
fluence is n profound nationul calam
ity. ' '
The incoming of the new congress
gives us a chance to lose this incon
gruous figure while the losing is good.
The committees should bo read
justed and another place found lor
the activities of Senator Stone, if
he has any.
There is a vacancy on the com
mittee on the Potomac finis. I fancy
that, would be found to answer ad
mirably. Anyway, give him ' some place
where he cannot malignantly block
the president's path, give comfort to
the enemies of his mil ion, present to
the world the world the spcctnelu of
wrangling nnd disloval councils, and
run the nsk of involving us in ruin.

weather will continue in order to get
