AMERICA AS A SITLKR
That the restoration of peace
In Europe ' might be hastened
if the United States were to put
an embargo on, the exportation' of
arms, ammunition, horses and
other munitions is a suggestion
that has been made frequently in
the last three months, says the
Cleveland Leader. Some would I
include food supplies of every sort
with the military supplies to' be
withdrawn from the export trade,
hoping thereby to force the com
batants to make peace the more
quickly. "Can we sincerely pray
for peace and at the same time aid
in war?" asks a correspond- j
tut, Whose letter, embodying a simi
lar suggestion, was recently pub
lished on this page.
Congress has constitutional au
tijority to provide for the "general
welfare of the United States."
Whether an attempt to starve Eu
rope into peaceable behavior could
tome under that head is doubtful.
It might qualify under the general
power of congress to "regulate
commerce with foreign nations."
Undoubtedly it might involve com
plications, perhaps calling for ex
haustive adjudication, concerning
property rights and individual
rights, if not internatiom.l ques
tions of treaty rights. Undoubt
edly, too, it could be accomplished
In time, if necessary, regardless of
existing difficulties.
Prohibition of exports, whether
of war munitions only or of gen
eral products as well, would be a
procedure extraordinary in the ex
treme, considering the scale and
pretext on which It is proposed-—
though some sort of recent prece
dent might be found in the execu
tive embargo occasionally laid on
the shipment of arms into Mexico.
S0 such action with respect to Eu
ropean trade can be considered
likely. Probably it could not be
considered humane, no matter how
idealistic the purpose, if applied
to materials of food and cloth
ing. There is, however, one ar
gument in its favor that its pro
posers have not mentioned.
It takes several years to raise
a horse. The producing or manu
facturing of meat, leather, ritles,
cartridges, blankets, saddles, flour,
coffee, tents and clothing cannot be
accomplished oa the Instant.
Whole-heartedly as every Ameri
tann hopes' this country will never j
bocomg at all embroiled in this
war, how can any one kJOw that
our exporters are not now taking
European money for materials
which the United States will need
next year and not be able to get?
KILLING IX HAsTE
Coming home late at night and
trying to climb in through a
window, a man in Wheeling, TV.
Va., was mistaken ior a burglar
and shot dead by iiis sou while his
wife and daughter looked on. It
was a common occurrence. Such
mistakes are frequently made and
duly accorded brief mention in the
newspapers. In fact, an incident
of exactly the same sort was' re
ported from Missouri at about the
same time.
In explanation of the act of the
hasty young man of "Wheeling, it
was said that robl-eries had been
numerous in the neighborhood.
The residents very likely were ner
vous about burglars; had burglars
on the brain. In other homes,
perhaps, firearms were kept ready
and the determination to use them
awaited only the opportunity. In
this home, at least, when a "noise
aroused the family the young man
promptly got a loaded gun, went
to the kitchen with his mother and
sister at his back, saw a man
clambering through the window
and killed his father without stop
ping to say a word.
The father was not without
fault, Perhaps he could have
avoided coming homo so late. Per
haps his only; motive iu adopting
the window entrance was considera
tion for others of the family. Pos
sibly he might have been shot just
the same if lie had pounded oo. the
front door. At any rate, it was a
error of judgment to attempt a
stealthy entrance without the abili
ty to effect it. The consequences
could not have been more unpleas
ant if he had deliberately dis
turbed the slumber of the entire
household. '
The father's fault, nevei thoioes.
was minor and he paid the minor
penalty. Unfortunate as it may be
to be killed by one's son, the thiE&
is soon over. It must be much
more distressing to kill one's
father. The "Wheeling young man,
it is to be presumed, will go
through life griavously repenting
his haste. Ho ought to.
The morals are plain enough.
Such ghastly mistakes can be
avoided easily enough. We would
not deny anybody's right to pro
tect his home. We would not ad
vise anything that wouid make
burglary easier or safer. But why
should anybody be anxious to kill
anybody else? "Why jump at the
chance to kill even a burglar,
whether it's a real burglar or only
some one "thought" to be a bur
glar? • ,,'ii'ir
