Underwood Among
1912 RosSibiIities

The threatened breakdown of Ma
jority Leader Underwood, as a result of
long hours of hard work on the tariff
in the Ways and Means Committee, put
many Democrat in a nervous state of
mind. There developed suddenly a full
appreciation of the worth of the Ala
bama Congressman as a leader. For
Mr.. Underwood to become disabled or
to be removed from the scene of his
usefulness at this critical time would be
like pulling a corner post out from
under platform on which was heaped
most of the political treasures a. the
party, Democrats quite generalt< art

The Conserve
tive South

Not many days ago, it was suggested
in an editorial in this paper that the peo-
pie of that section of the Union that
tried half century ago to break up
the Union of the States, might possibly
turn out to be the home of a conser-
vatism tina, would stand as a barrier
against cnange in our scheme of gov
ernment that would destroy the fabric
Of the Constitution adopted by our wise
forefathers, and ratified by the States
that had fought for and achieved indie
pendence and freedom.
AS evidence that such thing may be
among the possibilities a paragraph is
here quoted from speech made by
Hon. Oscar w. Underwood, of Ala
bama, to the Young Mems Democratic
League of St. Louis:
Some Democrats want to put
the initiative and referendum
plank into the national platform
of the Democratic party.
think that would be unwise.
The initiative and referendum
as a local issue is sometimes
successful But when you at
tempt to apply it to the United
States you destroy the entire
fabric of the Constitution. We
are not true democracy. This
is a representative Govern
ment."
As the reader knows, Mr.. Underwood
is the Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee of the House of Representa-
tives at Washington. But for the fact
that he is a native and lifelong resi-
dent of the South he would stand a fine
chance to be made the Democratic can
ddate for President next year. Candor
compels the statement that he is as well
qualified for the performance of the du-
ties of the great office as any one in
his party who has been mentioned in
that connection, and it is not doubted
that if elected he would make safe

Fiction of Diplomacy.

1t is only a fiction OF diplomacy TO
say that the protest was made known
here only today The president has been
aware of the protest and has been con-
Sldering it for some weeks, according TO
two OF his cabinet officers.
Summarized, this government Is from
tonight officially engaged on the 9olu-
tion OF two questions arising out OF the
protest:
First-Whcthcr 1t presents an arbitra
BILE question,
Sccoud-Whcthcr the United States
Will submit the matter to arbitrat atiun.
There Is good warrant for the state
ment that the state department will hold
that there is no arbltrable question in
volYcd, no matter what may be the po-
sitlon taken by the president. AS a
matter OF fact, no matter what the OK
ecutIvc may do there can be no submls-
sion To Great Britain without the con-
sent OF the senate. and the position OF
the senate may be clearly set forth by

Final Argument.

The next point made is that the eX-
cmption Of American coastWlsc shipping
from tolls would violate the undertaking
that the tolls should ''be just and cquit =
able unless the whole volume OF ship
ping passing through the canal is taken
into account. there are no means Of de-
termiuing whether the tolls charged upon
any particular vessel represents her fair
proportion of the current expenditures
properly charseable against The canal
There is no guarantee that the vessels
upon which tolls are being levied are not
being made To bear more than their fair
share OF the upkeep Therefore the Brit
ish insist that all vessels passing through
the canal whatever their flag or charac-
ter. shall be taken into account in liking
the amount OF the tolls
Regarding the presidents contention
That the effect OF the British claim would
be 10 prevent. the United States from aid
ing Its own commerce In "A WAY that all
nations may do. /. is said that this Is not
so. Equal trea tment as specified in the
treaty Is all that the British government
claims But ii does not follow that the
United states may bc debarred by the
treaty from granting n subsidy to certain
shipping In Il particular way. If the effect
would be TO impose upon British or other
foreign shppings an unfair share of the
burden OF the upkcep OF the canal or to
create a discrimination or prejudice Brit
ish shipping rights.

Fail to See Benefit.

"Thcy Ohe British goyernmenO con-

fotc treaty they recognized that right on

from using It's own territory for revictual-

briefly dismissed bv the statement that ii
is completely overturned by n reading OF

Supposes a Case.

Therefore, II Is held that the eXcmp
tion OF the American coastwise shipping
as Well as of Panamap shipping clearly
conflicts with the treaty guarantees of
equal treatment for British and American
ships and that the interests OF foreign
nations would thereby be seriously injured
in two respects First, In placing the en-
tire cost OF the building of the canal upon
foreign vessels. and second. in placing the
American coastwse trade in prctcrcn-
tial position as regards other shipping.
Thus, il might be that n cargo Intended

In either direction shipped on n foreign
ship could be sent To its deStina ton more
