If we are content to depend for communication

The subsidy, or subyenton, bill whicn TIRE
House will probably be asked to pass aims only
at accomplishing results which are of national
Importance. 1t is not designed to give bounty
to the freight carrier as such, but by paying lib
orally for mail service, as other maritime ma
tions do, TO promote intercourse with those parts
of the world in which we have a special and
vital interest. The purpose Of the act is to
establish American steamship lines to Brazil
and Argentina to Chill and the west coast Of
South America and to the Philippines and Aus
tralia. These lines are to be maintained also
as a naval reserve and as training school for
officers and seamen. From military as well
from commercial point of view they are
essential to national progress and security.
They will subserye general rather than private
interests, and the money spent on them will
prove a sensible investment We have talked
long enough about improving our means of COM
munication with South America and Eastern
Asia. 1t Is high time to quit talking and do
something.
New-York tribune., 1907-01-17
A BILL WHICH OUGHT TO PASS.

The announcement from Washington that a
shipping bill will probably pass the House of
Representatives at this session may be received
In many quarters with polite skepticism
Schemes for reviving our ocean carrying trade
have been pending in Congress for the last
twenty years. Sometimes the lower house has
passed a subsidy measure and sometimes the
upper, but In the END the hesitation Of the non-
maritime states has triumphed and relief has
been put over until a more convenient season.
Possibly the time was not ripe for q serious
effort TO regain our lost standing as a deep sea
carrier. We were more concerned with internal
development than with external conquests, and
the Western farmer preferred seeing his grain
and foodstuffs carried to Europe at cheap rates
under a foreign flag to spending money out of
the Treasury TO stimulate American shipbuld-
ing and equalize the conditions of competition
for the American shipowner. In the last ten
years. however, the situation has radically
changed Our foreign trade has doubled in that
brief period. We are to-day the foremost ex-
porting nation in the world, and whether we
will 1t or not We are becoming more and more
dominant factor In international commerce
Every section has nowadays vital interest in
extending our foreign trade. and the old fash
ioned prejudice against experiments intended to
stimulate that trade is happily disappearing
In another way, too we are waking up to our
national opportunities and responsibilities We
are successfully cultvating more intimate rela-
lions with our American neighbors. We want
TO be friends commercially and politically with
the republics to the south of us. They are re-
spending to our advances. But the great bar to
closer intercourse is the IamentabIe lack Of COM
munications over sea. The sea is now and must
remain for a long time TO come the open high
way OF commerce for these countries, and If we
abandon this easy road TO our European rivals
We surrender te them the first call In every Gen.
trai American and South American market We
have also acquired Hawaii and the Philippines
and are reaching out for a greater share of
trade and influence In Eastern Asia. But how

THE ELIMINATION OF ADDICKS.

The election of Mr.. II. A. Richardson as SEN
ator from Delaware rings down the curtain on
An unseemly comedy IN Delaware politics. In
stead Of yielding to as persistent an attack as
was ever made on the political morals OF a COM
monwealth, Delaware, after nearly ten years of
effort and annoyance, has freed itself from the
grip of mercenary speculator who thought a
United States Senatorship was to be acquired as
easily as controlling block of stock In a gas
company.
The people OF Delaware, and especially the
Republicans OF Delaware, are TO be congratu-
lated on being represented In the United States
Senate neither by j. Edward Addicks nor by
any one who owes his election to J. Edward
Addicks. The day OF deadlocks at Dover Is
past, the Union Republican organization, with
Its motto of "Addicks or nothing" Is disbanded,
and Delawareans of the stamp of Mr.. Du Pont
and MIR. Richardson are once more in control In
Republican councils. Addcks is down and
out" His disappearance terminates disgrace
ful episode and averts forever a long threat
ened national scandal.

part of the 165, 900 tons of wool now used each
year might be secured from Southwest A1rlca
In brief he argues that the development OF
the German colonies as sources of raw ma
terial is essential to the continued prosperity
Of German industries and labor. OnkT t4rough
th>rs getrfrr suprfies from the German colo
nies can German manufacturers and working
people be made Independent of foreign monopo-
lies and adverse tariffs.
That is the Colonial Directors argument
which he has put forward as the second key
note of the campaign. 1t is shrewdly conceived
and should have much effect in its appeal TO
German business practically and to German
patriotic ambition. For nobody realizes more
keenly than the Germans the desirability of
nations being sufficient unto itself, and also
the fact that Germany is not thus sufhcient
Great and growing as the empire is, 1t does
not and apparently can not supply its own
needs 1t is dependent upon other lands for
food and for much of the raw materials for
its workshops. That is a state Of affairs often
sive to its pride and perous to its prosperity.
Since 1t has to buy in America the raw cotton
for Its mills, how can 1t hope to compete with
the output of American cotton mills which
stand right alongside the cotton plantationsf
Surely it is better, argues the Colonial Direc-
tor to spend little money in developing the
resources Of the colonies, so as to secure sup
plies from them and make the empire self
sustaining and self-providng, than to go on
perpetualiy paying vast sums to foreign pro-
ducers and leaving German industry and COM
merce at the mercy Of foreign price makers.
What effect this appeal will have on the cleo
torate is matter for conjecture and for ex
pectation. The registry lists are now made up,
and the campaign is nearing its climax. So
far as can be perceived from outward indica
tiOns there has not yet been complete n
fusion alliance of anti-Clerical parties into
a government bloc as was hoped for by the
government at the time Of dissolution. Antag-
onism between Conservatives and Liberals is
maintained, and the apparent desire of the
government TO cultivate Liberalism has in some
cases so alenated Conservatives as to drive
them to alliance with the Clercals. The most
hopeful omen for the government is negative
one, namely, the entire lack of anything like
cooperation between the two nti-governmental
partes-the ClericalS and the Socialists. In
deed, these two are displaying toward each
other an enmity at least as great as that which
either shows toward the government, and, of
course, such relations In the electoral cam
paign are not likely to be followed by q coall-
ton in the Reichstag If the Clericals and So
cialists do not act together, then 1t should
not be difficult for the government to command
working plurality, If not clear and substan-
tial majority

GERMANY AND HER COLONIES.

Herr Dernburg has sounded the second kew.
note OF the German campaign, which may prove
TO be as important as the first The Emperor
and the Chancellor appealed TO the electorate
on the issue Of the Fatherland against Ultra
montane Clericalism. That Issue instantly over
shadowed the issue Of the Hottentot war. and
the latter has been further ecpsed. indeed.
pracucally obliterated, by the success Of Ger
man arms in Damaraland. But the ClericaIs
of the Centre have replied by challenging the
entire colonial and world politics policy of the
government-somewhat after the fashion of our
own few but intensely select anti-imperialists
and 1t has thus become necessary for the
government to defend and vindcate that policy
For this task Herr Dernburg, the Colonial Dj
rector. is most fit. The colonial question &c
