CALDER'S ANSWER TO PALMER. United States Senator William M.

Oajtter, Mho joined with Senator Yeilnghuysen Of New Jersey in the demand for an Investigation of the Murk of A. Mitchell Palmer as Custodian of Alien Property, does not need to defend himself against the Insinuation implied in the remark that his course ivas "pleasing to Germans." His record is clear cnVugh on the issue against Kaiscrism. Yet mo can understand the irritation of Mr. Palmer, whose IIOU 11 mta tiott as Attorney General was long delayed by a Repub- lican Senate, over the in est igation plan, and can condone if not justify his language. Senator fabler says: "I have insisted, as President Wilson has insisted, on a Square deal for the German people as distinguished from Oia German nation.

Mr. Palmer has been dealing not with the capital of the German nation, but ivirh the private capital of German people invested in this country." Manifestly, a Senator In Washington or a hodearrier in Chi cago may hold his own opinion on this matter without being fairly open to an impeachment of his full loyalty to the United States. The alien property issue is primarily one of basic equities, not of administrative methods. The law had to he enforced by Mr. Palmer as Custodian.

Thr of the President nf the United states to the people nf the country ar large, but mure especially to those in the ranks of organized labor, is enough in Itself to distinguish tiie all of its predecessors. Never was a pica for co-operation to meet a difficult and dangerous situation better made, and seldom has such a recourse Leen more The President points out that our to this appeal should be, and little as to what it will be. The disaffection which has produced labor disturbances has been caused in part by the high cost of living, which all the forces of Government arc now combining to control with remarkable initial success, and in part to a genera', feeling iliat labor "is not getting its share." As to the latter there should be no ini-givings.
