maximum would yield. The Car.
negie combine has, 1t is affirmed,
supplied foreign governments
with armour at $3.50 a ton. 1t
has drawn immense sums from
the United States Treasury for its
products, including plates honey
combed with blowholes, the loca-
ton of which is known to the Eu-
ropean powers with whose navies
it is always possible we may have
lighting to do.
The trust is standing off, and
by its threat of closing the mills
i'm effect asks the Government.
What are you going to do about
it2
The answer of Secretary of the
Navy Long is the recommendation
to Congress that it raise the max.
imum to $40Oa ton. He argues
that the cost of keeping the un-
finished war ships in the stocks
would amount to more than the
cost of surrendering to the trust
Senator Chandler, of New Hamp.
shire, former Secretary of Navy,
displays different spirit. 1t is
announced from Washington that
he will introduce IA bill providing
that the Government shall imme-
diately take possession ot the
Carnegie and Bethlehem steel
plants, run them until enough
armour for the three incomplete
battle ships is supplied, and then
turn the works back to their ra.
pacious owners. leaving the trust
to go into the Court of Claims
for its damages.
1t is mortifying that the Gov
ernment of the United States
should be made wholly dependent
upon a manufacturing monopoly
for armour for its war ships-a
monopoly which has derived from
that Government the wealth
which gives it the courage to be
insolent. 1t would serve the
trust right, of course, were Sena-
tor Chambers bill to become
law; it would serve the trust
right We're its works to be confis-
Gated without compensation.
Were war threatening and the
unfinished ships needed for ma
tional defence, and the companies
maintained their present attitude,
it would serve the managers of
the trust right should they be
dealt with as traitors.
But business is business after
all. The Government having
created monopoly, it is not sur.
prising that the monopoly should
act after its kind. Were there
extreme need for the immediate
armoring OF the Illinois, Alabama
and Wisconsin, all other consid
erations would give way to ma
tional need, and the seizure of
the works be polite as well as
Just. However, desirable as it is
to strengthen our navy without
needless delay, there is no ur-
gent necessity for the bold course
proposed by Senator Chandler.
The lesson of the situation is
that tha Gpvornmont ebo,Ij
