THE COMING CONGRESS OF WAR;"

has been one-third. whereas in Germany 1t has
been multiple OF five. with practically the same
percentage for STEEL although millions Of tons OF
coal had to be imported. The actual amount
paid in wages was 100000 less in the king
dom during 1906 than it was during 1900; al
least 100000 more people were looking for work.
and there was an increase OF SO per cent In
outdoor relief for London under the Poor Law.
During the same period there had been IN Ger
many q marked Improvement in the conditions
of employment, with a shrinkage of the unem-
ployed and decline in pauperism
An argument like this is striking proof OF
Mr. Bonar Laws capacity for taking UP Mr..
Chamberlain's cause. He anticipates the Free
Trade objection that the commerce OF Germany
with larger population than that OF the king
dom must expand more rapidly. and asks what
becomes Of the Free Trade theory If nations can
have only that share of the worlds commerce
to which they are entitled by their population
If England be outstripped by America and Ger
many in an era of unexamped prosperity, what
will happen when times are bad and consump-
ton shrinks? He foresees that when trade de-
preston sets in America and Germany. with their
powers of production increased to fabulous
extent will find in Free Trade England an outlet
for surplus manufactures. and there will be an
alarming increase OF unemployed workers and
pauperism here. Without taking up fiscal re-
form as an improved method Of raising national
revenue and financing measures Of social reform.
ne shows that the differences drawn from phe-
nomenal prosperity are falIacious and that Eng
land, after allowing its agriculture 10 be de-
stroyed and its home market raided, is not keep
ing workers so well employed nor charging its
production and commerce SO rapidly are
America and Germany. where agriculture has
been preserved and the home market systematic
caIly protected and that when times are bad the
situation will be utterly deplOrable. Mr.. Bonar
Law is not to be left out of account when discon-
tented UniOniStS-and there thousands of
them in a demoralized party-are casting about
for effective leadership. Like Lord Miner he has
outlined a constructive policy when Mr. Balfour
has forgotten that there has been tariff reform
movement, and that the Unionsts are committed
to II, I. y. Z.

mander Of the ill-fated stronghold And 1t Is
in connection with this Issue that Mr.. Stead
makes one Of his most extraordinary proposals.
It is nothing less than that powers
before appealing to arms should be compelled
under the penalty Of political and economic boy
colt, to delay the beginning Of hostities for
period not exceeding thirty days, in order to
give time to mutually friendly governments 10
intervene in the interest of peace with view
TO q reconciliation. Article Of the interna-
tionaI agreement representing the labors of the
first Hague convention laid down the principle
that In the event OF a conflict being imminent
between two countries a third power had always
a right TO offer its mediation without either OF
the two belligerents being able 10 take ohence'
The clause was wholly Intellectual to delay the
outbreak Of the Russo-Japanese War, and the
idea Of rendering this Article obligatory,
in the sense that the rival nations must defer
hostiities until a month has been spent by
friendly governments In mediation is absolutely
impracticable. In fact, great power could
dream of giving its adhesion to any such pro-
posaI. In the case Of war there is always one
power which is ready and which is unpre-
pared for the conflict. Mr.. Steads proposal In
wolves the sacrifice by the government prepared
for the fray of all its advantages The outcome
of the Of 1866 between Austria and prussia
might have been different had the latter con-
scented to wait fortnight three weeks. until
the Austrian generalissimo had completed the
concentration Of his troops Again. on the out
break of the war Of 1870 Germany alone was
ready and In a position to strike immediate and
crushing blows, whereas the mobilization Of the
French army was not completed until several
weeks after the opening of hostllities. In Cuba,
too. the American victory over the Spaniards
would assuredy have entailed the expenditure
Of much more life and treasure II the Spaniards
had been allowed time TO bring army corps
or two across the Atlantic TO the Antilles while
the resistance Of the Beers would have been
crushed earlier in the day had they been forced
10 wait for a period Of time sufficient for the
English transports to reach Cape Town from
Southampton before beginning the invasion Of
Natal. Mr.. Stead's idea, therefore. Of com.
polling intending begerents to defer hostilities
for twenty or thirty days in order TO allow
time for mediation IS not regarded as worthy Of
serious consideration.
Another thing TO be reckoned with is the fact
that there are many international quarrels
which do not lend themselves to settlement by
mediation Japan fought Russia in 1904 because
her very existence was at stake and because II
was imperative that she should break Russia's
power in the Far East before it became too
strong for resistance. Prussia's real object in
1866 was not the problem IN connection with the
duchies of Schleswig- Holstein. but the deter

terity Of a lawyer holding a brief for his party.
He has not been dismayed by the evidence Of the
Board Of Trade that England Is passing through
a period Of unparalleled prosperity, with a
volume Of production and oversee traffic never
before equalIed He has chosen the moment
when Free Trade orators and writer's have as
serted with an outburst Of triumph that tho
high tide Of increased trade at home and abroad
has washed away Mr.. Chamberlains fiscal
for a critical examination OF the COM
mercial statistics. His speech last night at Dun
dee puts him in the front rank OF debaters on
national policy. Starting with the facts heavily
against him, he has ACCOMPLISHED the brilliant
feat Of drawing from them a powerful argument
for tariff reform. He has shown that when
times are good all over the world the trade ex-
pansion of America and Germany with tariffs
has been greater than that Of England with F,ree
Trade and that the conditions Of employment
have improved in each Of those countries. while
pauperism has increased here.
No apology for taking UP so dry q subject
ought to be necessary for American readers
when their material interests are bound I'D In
IT America. Germany and England are rivals in
the main modern conflict. the battle for markets
and tariffs are the armor and weapons with which
they are armed for fighting 1t. Mr. Bonar Laws
argument comes to this: England now has the
poorest equipment and is losing ground rela-
lively to America and Germany when Mr. Lloyd
George is boasting that Mr. Chamberlain's
wreckers have been drowned by the high seas
of prosperity and that nothing is needed except
a more alert consular service and a complete
census Of production. He avoids what would be
q more convincing comparison of statistics be-
tween America and England because he anticl-
pates the academic Free Traders objection that
one country has a marked superiority over the
other in natural resources. He makes a close
examination OF German and English prosperity
during the last Ave years as shown by the off,
cial evidence. He shows that the increase IN
the export OF manufactured goods and aggregate
commerce is greater. both In actual volume and
rate OF progress IN Germany than in England

 We sit beneath their orchard trees, We hear, ike them, ,he hum of bees And rustic Of the bladed corn: We turn the pages htJ they read, Their written words we finger OCT, But in the sun they cast no shade, No voice is heard, DO sign is male, No step is on the conscious floor! Yet Love will dream, and Faith will
