The Haitian scandal is surely the traditional "last straw". Even without it the Wilson record in foreign affairs has been the most humiliating in all our history, dotted with the graves of our unavenged dead on land and sea. The mere mention of the names of Columbus, Tampico, Vera Cruz, and Carrizal, of Villa and of Carranza; of Lenine and Trotzky, and our soldiers who died in Russia without knowing why they were sent there or for whose cause they fought, is enough to make all Americans, "who never fight," blush with shame and bitter humiliation. And now to these awful chapters must be added the Haitian chapter--a scandal which the mendacious mal-administrator of the Navy Department is now trying to whitewash by appointing his own investigators to investigate his own record after he has been "caught with the goods" and "smoked out." It must be probed to the bone. It will be. But the Congress must apply the probe. Mr. Daniels has been tried and found wanting. After the fourth of next March he will be chiefly remembered in the Navy for his contribution to its slang of a new synonym for a cunning falsehood. For on every man-of-war and at every shore station today, officers and men know that to tell a "Daniels" is to tell a falsehood with such cunning as to stand a good chance of not being caught.
