Oss Mall Tribune a an I aoa.
"The King Is Dead!"
"THE King is dead; long live, the Republic 1" This
revolutionary battle cry has a new significance in
the light of the surrender of King Leopold of Belgium,
in the very midst of a life and death struggle for the
channel ports.
For the King IS dead, when he fails to play the
kingly role. And say what you will in extenuation,
there was nothing kingly in this raising of the white
flag, when the crisis had been reached but before
there had been any decisive defeat
.....
MO THAT isn't done in KINGLY circles. The going
may get tough, the troops may even break and
run, but the King, if he IS a King, holds his ground,
"sans peur and sans reproach" even though it may
mean his death.
That, in fact, is the very essence of the royal
idea, the King is King because he is just a little
braver, a little stronger, a little wiser than his fel
lows. Like the father of the family he is the father
of a nation, and when he quits under fire, to save his
precious skin, he plays the role of a father, who would
leave his wife and children to their fate, while he
made his getaway from a burning house.
THIS may seem a bit iard on the present King of
the Belgians, but if the royal idea means any
thing at all, it isn't. It may be hard on LEOPOLD the
man, it isn't hard on Leopold the KING.
For a King is a KING, or ought to be. If he
can't conform to the traditions of his role, if he can't
uphold the essential principles of the royal idea, then
he should gracefully step out of the place he occupies.
A ND what is tine concerning King Leopold of Bel-
gium, is equally true of Queen Wilhelmina of
Holland, the Duke of Windsor when he was King
and the ex-Kaiser when he was the Imperial "All
Highest". When it came to the supreme test, these royal
dignitaries all failed, in different ways, some less
ignobly than others, but in the parlance of the day
and from the standpoint
ciple, in the final ordeal,
"TAKE it!" . .
17HICH is no doubt just as well, probably better.
For in this modem and realistic world, the royal
idea has no validity in fact, it is both economically
and politically, no better
and eventually is due for
anyway.
That modern Kings and
equal to their tasks, false to the ancient codes, prob
ably merely accelerates a natural and inevitable pro
cess.
The War
WE SHALL have to leave to the future and the
military experts what this Belgian surrender,
will mean.
It certainly can't HELP the allied cause, but it
may not be as disasterous,
over here would indicate.
.....
PRANCE certainly has one of the best trained and
best equipped armies in the world. The British
are bom fighters, and the tougher the going the
harder they fight. So this unexpected blow, below
the belt MAY yet serve as
the one thing needed to
SUPREME fighting pitch.
There are powerful and unexpected reserves the
individual draws upon when in supreme danger, no
doubt the same may be true
here s hoping.
THIS much is certain anyway. The British and

The Long View
ASA postcript to the above we find considerable
solace in the following old reliable from "The
r).,i0
Field" by William
Truth crunhcd to earth shall rise again;
The eternal years of God are hers;
But error wounded writhes In pain,
And dies among his worshippers.
Substitute democracy for "truth" and tyranny
for "error" and one has, we believe, a pretty timely
article of faith.
The short view looks bad, tragic, to some, no
doubt, hopeless. Truth and all it represents, is being
crushed to earth, on the fields of France and Flan
ders. Dishonor, deception, greed brutality, ruthless
ness are driving all before them.
Hut that is, we feel certain, the SHORT view.
In the long view certainly there is every justifica
tion for the faith that not only what is tine and what
is decent will eventually prevail, but the deep pas
sion for individual freedom, liberty, the dignity and
the integrity of the human spirit, will prevail also.
For this yearning, wo are confident, rests in the
hearts of all humanity, the world over regardless of
color race or creed and while it may "be crushed to
earth" for this brief period or that, - perhaps for
year?, the fight will never end, until its victory has
been won!

Washington, May 28. The
clearest lesson of the immense
and unimaginable tragedy In
Europe is that when time press

going on a wartime emergency
basis. Every army and navy ex

on this one central fact. Remem

the president's reassurances. It
is hard to be encouraged by the
American accomplishment since
the defense crisis burst upon us.

officials and leading Industrialist, to
assist tn the preparedness effort. Il
means, of course, that most of what
Is don. will hav. to be done by the
president himself, who already has
plenty on bis hands. It was perhaps
to b. expected, for th. president
hat leaned toward such a council
and away from the creation of eome
thing like the old war Industries
board ever sine, national defense
began to give concern, back In 19S7.
It wa In th fall of 1837 that the
Assistant Secretary of War Louts
Johnson flrit proposed to th. presi
dent that a volunteer group of in
dustrtallsta and other qualified mrn
b. recruited to survey and criticize
th. army', mobilisation plans. At
uux im..." Ui4" presiaent a "response
was to ask whether the first world
war's council of national defense was
not still a egal entity. It waa found
that th. council, an tnter-depart-mental
body composed of the secre
taries of war. navy, interior, labor
and on. or two others, did still eiist.
The matter waa then dropped until
July of last year although Johnson
and B M. Baruch continued to press
th. president for th. appointment
of a special civilian commute, to
review defense plsns. Just before
th. .nd of Last year's eongresslonsl
sesalon. th. president allowed John
son and Secretary of the Navy
Charles Edison to set up the war
resources board.
But In th. president's mind, at
least, th. board s sol. purpose was
till that of reviewing existing plsns.
In the first war cabinet meeting, the
president declared that If the war
did crest, a national emergency. It
would be administered through the
council.
But although th. president's at
titude In the matter could be antici
pated by Informed persons. It la hard
to feel confidence In the result.
Cumbersomeneas and vague dlvlalona
of responsibility, such as seem to
afflict the president's new set-up,
are Just the faulu which create the
worat administrative difficulties.
Herculean effort, unprecedented
forbearance by all concerned, firm
presidential repression of the squab
bles now In progress, and replace
ment of some of the less competent
present Job-holders may perhaps pre
vent difficulties from arising. Unfor
tunately. It la pretty optimistic to
bop. for a simultaneous general dis
play of such uncommon wisdom.
