Washington Post:-Of course it
vas a foregone conclusion that the
president, when he undertook to
l;!ieve the situation caused by the
strike, would subject himself to all
sorts of we'll meant but m'schievous
4nisapprehensions. We do not think
that any considerable number
vi people have the slightest wish
10 embarrass him or to ask
at his hands anything which
=, cannot lawfully do The fact
remains, however. that all sorts of
fantastic and impossi bic ideas
are at work in the public mind,
and the president is expected to
take measures to produce reults far
beyond his power and authority.
Already the chief executive has
gone outside of the con ventions in
his anxiety to avert national disas-
ter. In doing this, however, he has
been careful to explain that he seeks
only the common welfare and that his
Intervention is purely persona. and
non offical. The presidents motive
is benevolent and patriotic. The
conditions in the, anthracite region
are deplorable. Whatever may be
the merits Of the respective con-
tentions, the fact is that the mines
are tied up and a coal famine is
impending. And all fairninded
persons will agree that the pre- sident
acted in the interest of civilization
when he endeavored to bring about
a solution of the problem. As to the
responsibility for the existing con-
ditions that is a matter Of opinion
which we do not care at this time
to discuss The situation is q fact.
Meanwhile, there can be but one
estimate of the president and his
overtures in this of connection.
At least he has tried to bring order
out of chaos. If he fails in this, it
will not be his fault. In any event,
the American people owe him debt
Of gratitude.
