MAKE THE WELCOME REAL 1T7U1.COM I NO so d.ers is a pleasant occu- ' pation. It Is one In which every community reveals a whole-hearted en thusiasm. Now that this el'y Is to have an opportunity to express Itself In this fashion. It may be worth our while to re member that In some parts of the country at least thete is one fault lu the usual welcome extended to home-coming service men. flood intentions evaporate too quickly after the soldiers land. The welcome burns Itself out In cheers and flag-waving. " The men who havo fought In France dosetve a welcome that will extend over from day to day and make the way easier for them when they seek a way back into the scheme of everyday life. An uproar at the river front, speeches b centlemen In frock coats, flag-bedecked tus tooting good-naturedly aro all well enough. The soldiers themselves will bo Justified If they expect consideration and regard and u touch of warmth In the receptions to bo accorded them later on when there are no flags around and no committees of wel come: when they go, in other words, as rather lonely lads looking for Jobs and a place In the society which they helped to preserve. It Is then that this city and every other city will have an opportunity to show whether Us welcome was merely a super llclal flash of emotion or tho expression of u genuine understanding of what wo owe to the men in the service now on their way home. Doubtless some of the stories of soldiers left di stltute and lonely ore exaggerated. But It beems to be pretty plain, too, that a good many Individuals In ofllces and factories are often dwpoied to forget their obligation to returned serv ice men and to shift tho whole matter out of their minds with the vague feeling that tome one else will live up to a duty which they evade.

W ILSO.VS LIBERALISM WI.VS FIRST VICTOR Y LN PARIS Arrcptjitce of His Proposal tn C.ivc Rllsia an I'libun'il Hearing u Profounill) Heart- cuing Index of Heal Proprcss TTON'ESTY of intent, courageous sin cerity of purpose compose the moral fiber of tho Peace Council's proposal to Rive all Russia a fair hearing. So straightforward and manly is this deci sion that it is the most reassuring of aupuries that the old discredited di plomacy of the Congress of Vienna breed will not be petmittcd to prevail at Paris. Whatever attempts ut its assertion were made in this particular instance and the outgivings of Foreign Minister Piehou were evidences of such en deavor they have been signally de feated. The prime agent in this victory has been President Wilson. The text of his proposition, accepted by tho Palis con ferees, displays a blend of practical wis dom and determined, truth-loving zeal. The method of simplicity is forcibly applied to a problem of perilously in creasing complexity. Enigmas which can survive such treatment arc insoluble. The most Stygian fog is consumed by direct rays of .sunlight. Primarily, the Russian riddle has been baffling because of defective illumination. Misinforma tion, propaganda on all sides has clouded the issue. The credentials alike of taints or devils are now sought. Whatever the concerted Powers' future course of action may be, it will be taken in strict cognizance of facts. Peace congresses of the past have been wont to shy at such stubborn things, as strikingly evidenced in the way Vienna in 1S14 deliberately mistook the helplessness of republicanism in Europe for its nonexistence. Today the first great triumph for open diplomacy is to be registered and tho test is es pecially vital, since the most hidden of themes is about to be uncovered. The proposed procedure is re-enforced by the most urgent practical necessity whereby even selfish interest is brought in line with ideal aims. The President has emphasized this point in his declara tion that "Europe and the world cannot be at peace if Russia is not." The post ponement of peace damages purses as well as lofty sentiments. The latter are stimulated by Mr. Wilson's recognition of "the absolute right of the Russian people to direct their own affairs with out dictation or direction of any kind from outside" anil the disavowal of any with "to exploit Russia or make use of her in any way." The former will un questionably be fortified against shrink age by any means which will help to restore tho largest country on the globe to a state of order. As was recently pointed nut in thse columns, tho regeneration of Russia by means of great Allied aimics, compelled perhaps to tight a new and teniblo war, was n conception so revolting that even the blindest Tories, who may have nour ithed some such notion in their hearts, foresaw the uselessness of energetically proposing such a "remedy." M. Pichon's fulminations against the Bolshevists, not publicly repeated, repre-.ented the ex treme of the Junker efforts. The most vivid retaliatory thrust was made in the British attempt to secure repre.-entation at Pari.- for the Leninists. That attitude, however, had tho dan gerous nutur of a venture in the dark. The course adopted has been called a compromise. In icalitv, although it had the advantage of appealing to both sides, it is much more forthright than such an adjustment in diplomacy usually is. Its supremo merit is an opon-mindedness which leave the Powers free to act to tho best of their ab;lity find discernment on the evidence submitted and at the same, timo absolves them from tho least suspicion of official unfairness at the outset. No uch inquiry as the one scheduled for Princes Island hits ever in history been conducted on tho state of a nation. Fantastic manifestoes will be worthies. If tho Bolshevist case can be justified, opportunity for extenuation will be given. If tho Omsk government or tho "Republic of the Don Cossacks" has suppoitaide pleas they may bo advanced, The tribunal will not judge until the facts aro in or at least every chanco has been given for their admission. Tho selection of a balmy isle in tho Sea of Marmora for tho hearings Wpcnks a keen senso of "situation" lu tho ex traordinary drama. Tho native Turko Orck population, by reason of language barriers anil numerous, other c revm stances, will be impervious to the wiles of the propagandist. Furthermore, tho locale lenders posiible the appnrance of all the Slavic delegates. It is the judges who will reverse tho usual procedure by traveling to meet the witnesses. Rumor cloyed Paris will not embarrass tho pro ceedings. Tho court will be as exempt from insidioub inlluenc-s of environment as a Puddhiist monastery In the Hirsa layas. Unlike that, however, it will be open. He may come who will. The comprehensiveness of this oiler neofi only dismay those whoso causes nie not intrinsically worth nmseit'ig. The Bolshevists, who have accused the EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER liberty-loving nations of the world of aggressive capitalistic sordldness, may perhaps come to scoff. But if they do appear, it will at least display the cour age of convictions. Repudiation of the Entente's offer, predicating nothing be yond n conference, would thoroughly warrant tho elimination of the soviet regime from consideration. If it is re calcitrant, protests ngninst conceited foreign action against It, undertaken for tho restoration of order and sanity, would lose validity. Tho burden of proof is now on Moscow nnd other head quarters of diverse factions. The protest already registered in Paris of such anii'Bolshevist lenders a.i SaiotwfT and Lvoff sound suspiciously like crs for special and un'ivarrantcd favoritism. The justice of a cause of which u fair examination is diseoun trnnnccd ia indeed questionable and the bitterness of thcic special pleaders in Paris beara ugly implications of resent ment over the poisibility of a defeat for purely selfish interests. S'lrgius Sazon off was a former minister of the Czar, fie ts under peculiar obligations to prove Inn sincerity. Fortunately there is as yet no indica tion that such men as he, making tho most of the old associations between France and the former Russian mon archy, speak with final authority. It will be madness and a clear confession of moral weakness for any of the Russian "governments" to reject the inquiry. A response from all factions seems unavoidable and doubtless will yet come. The Russian situation as viewed from special propaganda circles in Paris is seen only from a very oblique angle. Moreover, it is more than probable that nn ensemble of really honest champions of other than Bolshevik in terests may be of profound import. If their governmental structures are jerry-built, inquiry will reveal that weakness. Facts to tho contrary, how ever, may prove to be of the highest moment in the world's monumental re construction task. Co-ordination of these Slavic movements might conceivably re sult in the extinction of Bolshevism. It should bo understood, none the less, that such an event is not the aim of the sincere invitation. The Allies, empower ing P'csident Wilson in this instance to be their spokesman, solemnly declare that "they regard the Russian people as their friends, not their enemies, and aro willing to help them in any way they ave willing to be helped" and" that they "are seeking some way to assist the Rus sian people to establish order." The means employed is in the quintes sential spirit of the new code of interna tional dealing which unprejudiced free men everywhere insist must be the re ward of all the years of strife antl bloody sacrifice. Grandeur and a most winning frankness arc combined in the sympa thetic offer enabling Russia to clear her self. The formation of a binding league of nations wiil not be more fittingly in tunc with tho ideals of the age, since the inevitable condition precedent to peace i the functioning of honest nnd orderly self-detcimination throughout one-eighth of the land surface of tho globe Russia. It is particularly noteworthy that tho unique message which the radio is deliv ering to nil governmental seats in Rus sia recognizes "the revolution without reservation" and stipulates that the Powers "will in no way and under no circumstance aid or give countenance to any attempt at a counter-revolution." Accompanying passages make it clear that the stupendous change specified was the oveithrovval of Czardom. Explicit wording forbids misconstruction on this significant point and, indeed, misconcep tion of the logic and sanity of the whole document is impossible save to the pur blind. Th" pioposal and unimpeachable integrity of the efforts toward its execu tion constitute by far th" finest tangible fruits thus far of the President's unre mitting labors in Europe.

Paris, Jan. 7. rii:OIlCli: CIIKHI Ih typical of the Amor- lean pence mission. The mission Is a great International propaganda. Mr. Wil son's prosenco in Europe was propaganda. The President expects to accomplish free dom of the seas and the league of nations by propaganda, And propagandists aro not executives. It was not the act of a good executive to arrive hero too soon. There Is no good executive in sight. TTNI,i:ss, of course, It Is Colonel House, the man of mystery, whose friends al was describe him In one set phrase, "an exceedingly well-informed man." Somehow unanimity about that phrase does not sug gest capacity to get things done. You look at Colonel House and at first you think what an Inslgnltlcnnt figure he Is. Then gradually ou forget tho ttltllng frame, the unimpressive .ountenatice, the h'tnds thrust deep In poc'.tett as the colo nel carries his unobtrttslvencss to nlwajs hiding Ids hands from the view of man kind. You como to the eyes. You become absorbed III the ees. The eyes fascinate you. They are seeing eyes, ryes that have seen much, eyes that will seo much, eyes hat mlsa nothing. Unquestionably a great reporter. The colonel honors occultism without knowing It or Intending It. Tho reporter's eye has made him the most Im portant man In the American peace mis sion outside the President, "CmuM this House pern ou perceive that Colonel mlts himself to be seen seen nf the press, a reporter standing up before reporters. The commission l.s on exhibition once a day, lu the morning at the Ctillon, It talks. It answers questions. It un bends and chats individually. It tells noth ing and It says It has nothing to tell, and everybody believes It. The eyes of the V. S. A. ire honored lu an amusing waj. Secretary Lansing Is the head of tho delegation. He talks to the press, the trtir-blue American press, all foreigners barred. Occasionally he savs things with a rising Inflexion, looking un easily toward ("oionel House. When the colonel hears the rising Inflexion he thrusts Ills hands deeper In his pockets, shifts his feet Into a more lounging attitude and takes tip the thread of the slory. speaking flatly and with a confidence that the head of the delegation never shows. SKI: INC, the pres shows how men will fall when far from home. Kven Presi dent Wilson has seen the press. Colonel limine sees the piess.

IN TWO d.i.vs the ene has no i counterpart ttergetlc editor, who anywhere In the world, had taken the President under his wing. The league of nitlnns was North clltfe's Idea and the President was for It! Or that Is the way It seemed. The Presi dent had glv en an Interview to North cllffe's London Times, and Northcliffe be came the foremost propagandist for tho league of nations. IT IS all vpi.v amusing to any one- who Ins been In Washington and who knows liuvv Northcliffe came to merlcn to be come a little father to America, and how coldly his paternal Intentions were received In Washington. In Washington Wilson was his own propagandist. Northcliffe with one government under one arm wns not permitted to take another government under another. His praises of America's efforts and of the Administration evoked no smile. On the contrary, they were re sented by the confident man In tho White House The Notthcllffe propaginda was frowned upon. The chill grew. Pinally Northcliffe went home. bi;i T now it Is dlffeient. Perhaps It is being awnv from home In n strange land that makes It different. We are all children when we find ourselves alone In the dark. Northcliffe rushed Into the dark, piercing it like a rav nf light. He grnsped the President's hand nnd went away for the moment at least with the league of nations, his league of nations, clasped to his breast.

"And Is mine one?" he epierlcd. "Nay. not so," P.eplied the Angel. Woodrow spoke more Hut cheerlv still, nnd In his May 1 nottlng l-'ashlon he said: "Of conrfe oti may be rotting.
