Government Blamed Unjustly

'Congress and the national government. are made responsible for great many conditions prevailing among the people with which they have nothing whatever to do. It is not good logic. but 1t IS human nature to charge the prevailing government with responsibilities for bad crops for bad business. for the unequal distribution of property and comforts, Tor many of the defects of society and for many of the ills that flesh is heir to. But.the government is directly responsi- ble to the people for the condition or business when 1t is seriously injured by defective monetary and banking sys. tenn.
 q earnestly commend not only to bankers, but to newspaper men and to intelligent laboring men, to business men and to farmers, a close consideration Of the plan, and I am very certain that aft CT they have sufficiently digested It's comparatively simple problems, they will see that it's operation will tend to the en- couragement of a banking equilibrium to the maintenance of normal business con- ditions to the constant meeting of the payroll and to the illumination as far as possible of the cost of the disposition of the farmers crops.'

Birmingham, July 3.-G p.m .)-lt is very hot today in the New England and middle Atlantic states, and in the central valleys and the southwest Read ings of 100 degrees or higher occurred. over an extensive area reaching from Boston to Oklahoma and including most of the Ohio valley, southern lake stations, middle Mississippi and lower Missouri valleys. The highest readings reported were 104 degrees at Louisville and 102 degrees at Boston and Kansas City. Readings of 100 degrees were very frequent.

with other countries if the original three are agreed upon and confirmed.
 Question of Honor
 "Obiection has been made that an agreement to arbtrate a question of q national honor ought not to be entered into. for the reason that when ones honor is affected one will never con- sent to have the question arbtrated and therefore that to agree to do so in advance Is to agree to do something that no one will be willing to do and no one does not intend to do, and therefore it savers of hypocrisy and ought not to be adopted as a national policy. I cannot concede the premises of this argument. I look upon a treaty of this sort as a self-denying ordinance as self-restricting obliga ton. A will ingness of great countries like Eng land, France, Germany and the United States, however to submit all their diff ferences, even honor, to an impartial tribunal, will be a step forward in the cause of peace for the world that can hardly be overestimated."
 The President told the bankers that the Aldrich plan could not be regarded as a political measure and should have the support of men of all political par ties. He said in part:
 Talks to Bankers
 'I have said that upon three issues can appeal 10 all political parties. With respect to arbitration. certainly that has not become party question. Ali are in favor of peace and all are in favor of those instrumentalities by which peace may be honorably secured. In respect to reciprocity with Canada. I am sure that it can be reconciled to the most orthodox republican tariff views, and I am equally convinced that no dem- ocrat ought to oppose it because, ac- cording to his views. the reduction of duties must be a step in the right di- reotion. So with respect to the proposed new system of banking and currency. Tkere Is nothing in it that in it's nature is partisan. The commission from which it comes Is composed almost equally Of democrats and republicans. It involves nothing of the partisan discussions over the coinage of monetary standards whleh have vexed both political parties
 'I earnestly hope that we may all ap- proach the subject with no preJudiees against the solution proposed and with our minds alert to the necessity Tor a reform and keen to see the advantages which the new system offers. l do not mean by what I say here to indicate that am not in favor of a party govern ment, for I am a party man. and De- lieve that the solidarity or partles IS necessary in order to secure conserVa- tive and staple administration by the gov errment In no other way can the pub lie opinion of a majority of 15,OOO,0W Of voters be interpreted into law. and en- forced.

Cost of Living and Speeding
up of Work Causes of
Complaint.

London, Dec. 15.--England is excited
today over the threat of general
Strike Of postoiIice employees through
out Great Britain which would tie up
the Christmas mails. The six great
postal unions With a combined mem
bcrship OF nearly 10000, which have
hitherto been unable to agree on con-
cettcd action. are now presenting a
solid front, demanding immediate inn
provement Of wages and hours. POST
master General Herbert Samuel told
the men that he would take up the
question in 1918 but the men refused.
They claim that this would result in
no action before 1916 and by that time
there may be n change ofgovernment.
Premier Asquith refuses to receive
n deputation of poscoiiice employees
and the men insist that unless the
government relents speedily. they will
walk out. A complete tie-up OF mails
and kilograms would result.
In an interview with a representa-
tive Of the United Press today, Sed-
rotary w. b. Cheesman,I OF the sort
ers at London, said: "rhe cost OF
living Increases every day, but post
Office employees are receiving the same
salaries that they did thirty years ago.
Then, there has been tremendous

the work has Increased so that the
men are unable to keep the pace. We
have hundreds of cases of nervous
breakdowns every year. In one large

"The number will increase, too, for
the tension is becoming intolerable." "
