England,s Federation plans


II was Joseph Chamberlain, who.
years ago, declared that If Great
Britain we're to develop all It's
potential strength as a vast empire
II would have to bind together and
to the mother country all its colo
MES and ties more powerful than
national love, by ties of business in
ter-course. Unless this was done, Mr..
Cham berlaln perceived that Britain
could neither expect TO achieve great
advantages over other nations, nor
hold her colonies long, because they,
separated from the mother country
by vast distances, would sooner or
later be severed in other ways and
begin to set up independencies, leav-
ing England to fight her way alone.
But, while Mr.. Chamberlain pro-
posed a system of commercial reci-
procity between England and her
colonies, giving England the advan-
tage over other countries in all these
colonies and protecting colonial
goods in England from competition
with other nations, he was never
able to put his plan into practical
operation for good and SUFFICIENT
reasons. England never will be
able to work out such a policy SC
long as she cllngs to free trade. She
cannot expect these concessions from
her colonies so long as she has moth
ing to give them in return. She
must first place herself on a Gus
toms tariff basis so that she will bC
able to make trade preference Of
some real benefit to the colonies.
What defeated the Chamberlain
proposition was exactly what he re
garded as the reason why such fed
Grafton should be formed. England

of political loyalty and patriots
sentiment hold them to the mothe
country and throw in TO boot tn,
commercial advantages without an.
in return, while these same advan
tages, bartered to other nations
would bring material benefits. Their
is no doubt that England sees in tn
defeat by Canada of reciprocity witt
the United States a step toward tn
realization OF her long-cherished fed
Grafton plan, but Canada, like Aus
tralia, is going ahead for itself an,

like what It said when Englan
wanted to dump several shiploads q
London's idle men into the Domir

England, but she loves Canada NOR,

YOUNG BLOOMS SUCCESS.
Soldier Passes Successful EHamina-
ton for Commission.


The country, generally, will be glad to
hear that Private Frank Bloom has sue
cessfully passed the army examination
for a second lieutenancy and that he is
now on the eligible list for appointment.
1t will be recalled that the president
reprimanded Colonel Garrard of Fort
Myer, because he had denied the young
aspirant the right of advancement solely
on the ground that he would be socially
Objectionable" Bloom Is a Hebrew. His
father had been the post tailor Colonel
Garrard made II plain that the whole
thing was socially incompatible with
army life. President Taft at once ordered
that the young man be admitted to the
examinations. 1t was shown that Bloom
was a proper young man. In fact, Colonel
Garland noted on the back OF Blooms APP
plication that he was clean young fell
low with a good record. He had labored
consistently in the ranks 10 advance and
be worthy OF the examination. Bloom,
Hebrew by birth, is as much an Ameri-
can as any OF us, and perhaps better
American than many, in his heart. The
only objection was that which makes
Russia such a terrible place and that
placed on France the blot Of the Drey-
fus affair It soon became evident that
Colonel Garrard did not have the support
OF even the officers of the army. In spite
of the efforts to create a snobbish ex-
clusion, there is still among them a
spirit of welcome for any man who has
good fighting blood in him and who Is
morally clean and worthily ambitious.
This following so shortly on the heels
OF the Annapolis scandal in the spring
should convince even the pessimists that
we are not yet ready to make the social
blue book the eligibility list for our army
and navy. In the navy affair a cultured
young woman-the daughter Of former
Yale professor-was ostracized because
she was serving in navy family In the
capacity Of governess; and in this army
affair It was the son OF a Jewish tailor
whose career was to be blighted. II
both principle was at stake, and We arr
glad to see that principle won.

Candor OF President Taft.

In his speech at Peoria concerning his
old ambitions and his individual feelings
about the presidency Mr. Taft dipped
once more into the amazing frankness'
which so surprised Washington during
the early days OF his administration.
Which is to say that he talked straight
out" like human being instead Of an
institution.
The politicians say this is bad politics.
But politicians are professionally opposed
to candor.
For our own part, we believe that when
Mr.. Taft strikes this intimate, personal,
human note he makes for himself more
friends than can be won by all the cold,
clever, big talk in the world.

Protests addressed to the Central Council
against the suggestion of a tariff war on
the United States are arriving from all
sides. Delegates from the executive officers
Of commercial and industrial societies have
unanimously repudiated the idea. At the
meeting Of the council yesterday there
were present NJ. Timirazeff, former Minis

Politicians are even more disturbed. They
believe that the underlying cause Of the

with whom shall We ally ourselves? p
they ask The answer In most cases seems
10 be. with Japan. rather than with
America and China" As Pres dent TAFT

grouping OF the powers on the Pacific IS
rapidly becoming a matter of first impor-
lance TO Russia.
