LISH REPORT
London. Feb. 15.?The report of
Major Oon. Sir Bdwnrd Strickland,
commander ot the troops '?> Ireland,
covering the inquiry Into the Cork
ronrtagratlon of last December, will
not be published. The prime minis
tv r made this announcement in the
ho'.ise of commons tonight. The de?
cision, he added, had been taken in
the interest of the reestahlishment of
low and order in Ireland.
Mt Lloyd (Jcortfo explniued that
there was enough In the report to
oatlefy th overnment that there had
been acts in violation of discipline,
but deaptte every effort it was Impos?
sible to Identify the Individuals re?
sponsibly for the destruction. The
sternest action had been taken, how
aver, with reference to the company
Involved.
The premier said .he report was not
really a report by (Jen. Strickland it
all. but simply dealt with the occur
renefs for tho purpnoe of informing
the government on the subject. The
statement of the premier brought
cries from the labor benches that the
civilian evidence on the burning ot
Cork had not been called, but Mr
Lloyd Oenege dec Is red It was not

Prancf and Bngland and Italy and ail
the world the full eost of their un?

ital, buttressed le>' complete military

Herman Caar was to direct into tho
Oorgagg treasure chests tlie tribute of
the earth, and the millions who toiled
outside the geographical limits of the
I'atherlnnd were to labor for the
greater gl?ry of the despots, in tight?
ening of the chains which houml
them. It was a war for profit. So
mean a thing it was that set the earth
niiame. And the oonsplraoy became
the more sinister and gigantic as the
promise of spoils was utilized to feed
the enthusiasm of a whole nation of
profiteers,
There was never any doubt of the
profit phase of Htm endeavor. Ger?
man economists had figured i<* the last
dollar the loot to be obtained. It was
but an incident that they Hooded or
destroyed the coal mines of invaded
territory and stole all machinery In

The Herman armies have been driv?
en Isick. but the (Jerman genius for
organization and conspiracy is in its
dower. Tin? captains In the Aelda
have turned OVST their command to
[he scientists *n the laboi a torlos and
to the industrial glngSj. While the
politicians spread their propaganda to
prove th.it Germany ran pay no in

try have OOndUCted i new scheme of
world conquest, Their appeals for
capital do not Ity over a desert of re?
sources, Instead, sndleaS streams of
wealth tlow from Uermah pockets to
finance these new Uermah armies.
No ?uch Integration of Indutsry has
aver bet?re been dreamed of as the
Hermans have been able to bring
kbOUt They make our greatest trusts
appear to be mere pigmies in com

St nines is the most sinister indus?

But never before has there been on
U mplated a trust so vast that it
could accomplish such monopoliza?

if it were not the grossest and most
apparent of lies. The allies have er?
red in adding the total of the yearly
payments to be made by Germany and
publishing the result as the amount
Germany is to be called on to pay.
Payments are always reckoned at
their present worth. A capital sum
of 191,000,000,000, with interest,
would represent the actual repara?
tion demanded. is that a vast sum'.'
It is a rtdlCUlOUS amount in compar?
ison with what Prance is called on to
pay. it is less than the United States
is paying. It represents mercy to the
nth degree, not extortion.
Let it be not forgotten that Ger?
many demanded of Prance 5o years
ago an indemnity of $1,000,000,000 for
a war of a few months, In which Ger?
many was not invaded, her factories
not destroyed and no material harm
of any sort done her. She seized
Alcace and Lorraine in addition, and
she kept her soldiers in Francs until
the last gold franc was paid. Not
coi.tcnt with that, and marveling at
her uwil "moderation," she proposed
three years later a second attack on
France, with the object of demand?
ing 16,000,000,000 as an indemnity,
and so she would have acted had
tiot England plainly intimated that
she would Intervene,
Twenty-one billions of dollars in no
adequate way represents the damage
Germany did In Prance alone. She
deliberately sot otll to wreck all hope
of French and Belgian economic inde?
pendence for years "to come. She holds
now her entire great economic ma?
chinery intact. She possesses the eco?
nomic superiority she malignantly set
out to obtain. If she is allowed to
hold it, site, not the allies, has won
the war. Can the world he tricked
to accept such a situation?
But the issue is more than that.
Omit, if statesmen will, the moral ne?
cessity of punishing a supreme male?
factor. Assume, as some do, that
there must be no punishment lest we
ourselves lose a few dollars?blood
dirty dollars. \iv willing to invite, as
some would, another group of con?
spirators to attack civilization by ad?
mitting now that stich lawlessness car?
ries with it immunity from punish?
ment. Admit everything of this sort,
and there still remains the transcend?
ent duty, from a purely business
viewpoint, of demanding that every
economic advantage the war has giv?
en Germany he taken from her That
is the only self-defense.
The treaty provides that the rep?
aration payments shall be a tirst
charge on all German revenue. She
must pay the indemnities before she
pays interest or principal of her in?
ternal loans. Let her economic as?
pect be considered, therefore, quite
apart from her domestic debts. They
represent nothing but a business in?
vestment that failed. Those who
invested must take their losses. Not
one dollar of the money sub?
scribed to assist in the Hun as?
sault to burglarise the world should
ever be repaid. Otherwise, a prem?
ium would be put on theft. If men
subscribed to a fund to finance un?
dermining of the vaults of the hank of
Bnglnnd and abstraction of the gold
iherein contained, it would be against
public policy to permit them to re?
ceive back any part of the funds left
atter the unsuccessful attempt. Equal?
ly is it against world public policy to
permit repayment of any of the
funds subscribed for the subjugation
of the earth. . And with her war bonds
repudiated, not even Germans could
question the ability of the nation to
pay in full the largest reparation
amounts yet suggested.
? i the first point, therefore, the
plan to capitalise American senti?
mentality and employ it to prevent
collection by the allies of the just
sums due them, we expect the Ger?
man plan to fail. it must fail; for
France and Belgium, if neieseity
compels, will collect, as they ought
tu collect, by force of arms.
The second method whereby the
tier mans expect to use America con?
templates employment of the pecu?
liar obetructtonary power of even a
lew nu n in the senate to prevent the
immediate enactment of defensive
legislation, the effect of which will
be to have thia nation powerless
against the already active and about
tO-becomo acute invasion of American
mark eta. Their part of the program
has already been almost wholly SUC
rCasfUl.
It is the chemical industry which
is the key to the whole German plan
of operation. Through employment
"f the war powers of the president,
who has all along been well aware
Of the German plans, the war trade
board has been admitting German
dyes only under license. To some
.?\t<nt. however, the efficacy of this
method lias been impaired by con?
cealment of origin of shipments. Ger?
man dyes appearing as having been
shipped from Switzerland, Italy and
elsewhere are entering this country.
Also there has been extensive smug
gllng. This has been combined with
a base campaign of < hininy along the
urns that American d.\ * are inferior,
and it is not unusual now lor a clerk
.a a store to state to a customer that
he eiinnot recommend certain goods
been use they are dyed with American
dyes, Tins.- German agents have
lately been attacking American syn?
thetic Indigo as inferior, who h is a
deliberate and demonstrable lie. There
has also been considerable smuggling
of mctot, and the thought has been
dnsldloualy disseminated that the mov
Ing-picture Industry could not sur?
vive with American luetol, claimed
in be Inferior, a striking answer in
this propagnnds is thai what is ex?
tolled as the greatest of all recent
moving pictures, Griffith's "Wuy Down
h'ast." was made without the use ol
an\ < lernten metOl fit all. but with 1
i he A muri .in product exclusively,
Ptg long ago as May, 1919, the pres
Idetil was aware of Herman plans and
probably of the Mt in ties schemes, li<
accordlngly. although a Democrat, de?
manded th.it congress promptly ensei
ileifenslvt legislation. Then occurred
i Mpcctncie which would be unlieliev
ihie if put into intime For it hap?
pened th.it .i few semi tors, led by Mr.
Muses, blockaded and otherwise mi
period i In proposed legislation, and
to tiii1' day the Longworth bill, al-I
ready passed by the house, reposes in
h pigeon-hole! Alone of the gnat 1
n it ions of tin earth, the United states j
has laaen no pctlon in defense, Lug
land actually made an exhaustive
study of our method of licensing con?
trol, under the war trade board,
strengthened if and rushed the nec
essary legislation promptly through
parliament. it will be followed by
other drastic legislation to protect
Other key industries, particularly the
Klaas Industry, which is a particular
object of Herman exploitation.
It is Significant that it is in the
great basic industries which by com?
mon consent would determine victory
in another great war that the Stinnes
group are specializing. A prospective
enemy can be undermined by propa?
ganda or he can be undermined by
destruction of the industries on which
he would depend for carrying on
S/ar. The allies at the peace confer?
ence appreciated the miraculous
achievement of the Germans in ex?
tracting nitrate from the air. They
required that they divulge their sec?
ret process. They have not done so.
apd it is In nitrates also that they
plan a conquest of world markets.
Sodium nitrite would seem to be of
minor importance, but it involves fix?
ation of nitrogen from the air, and yet
since the first of the year the Her?
mans have glutted the American so?
dium nitrite market, threatening to
destroy the hitherto prosperous A Itter
toan industry, and no relief has yet
been obtained through the war trade
board.
It is not, bowpver, in one industry
or In two industries '.hat the danger
lies. What the Hermans propose is
to prevent the enactment of any ade?
quate protective legislation by the
American congress. They have studied
the American legislative process.
They know what the capacity of an
individual senator for obstruction is.
They are adepts in assessing the worth
In dollars of every day's delay in the
passage of a bill. They know how
easy it is to obscure the issue. They
will stop at nothing?they have stop?
ped at nothing?to anchor the United
states to the same sort of trade un
preparednees as in the case of mili?
tary unpreparedness. Note the amaz?
ing strength and audacity of the prop?
agandists who are already spreading
abroad the noxious theory that pros?
perity in the United States can never
be until we open our markets to the
Germans?as if the days of our great?
est prosperity were not when we dealt
not at all with Germany.
There are some nten in congress
Abo conscientiously are opposed to
protective legislation. But intrigue
has so wrapped itself around the
problem that there is no man In con?
gress who can oppose defensive leg?
islation who does not expose himself
thereby to the suspicion of being sub?
ject to German influence. He may
not be, but conditions make him an
object of suspicion. And wilful per?
sistence In the employment of tech?
nical devices to prevent enactments
which are recommended by executive
heads, based on official reports which
?an leave no doubt whatever of the
malicious designs entertained against
;he trad*, integrity of this nation, is
presumptive evidence that German
eropaganda has not lost its seductive
properties,
It is sheer madness to talk about
not enacting a tariff bill until next
fall. It is almost treason, in view
of the facts presented, to fail to en?
act promptly at least some tempor?
ary measure which will serve to
prevent the immediate campaign
against us. In the key industries it is
a betrayal of the national interests to
delay enactment of extraordinary
emergency measures designed to save
essential new industries, without
whi?h the nation, in case of war,
would be at the mercy of an enemy.
The well-being of every workman
in the United States and the ulti?
mate safety of every individual in the
nation is threatened by the German
war-?the new kind of German war.
We are forewarned. The Ualeigh ar?
ticle sounds the tocsin?or echoes the
tocsin President Wilson sounded more
than a year ago and has since repeat?
ed. Let America no longer sleep. Let
congress wake up and erect the bar?
riers which are essential. Let us not
be deluded by pleas of mercy Into
forgetting that a new thunderbolt of
destruction Is being forged s gainst us.
We must and shall prepare against it.
