UNJUST CRITICISM.

The British public is stirred over tn,
! course the Senate committee investi.
eating the Titanic disaster is takinf
with regard to the detention Of British
subjects and the manner Of their ex-
animation. The attitude generally is
! taken that J. Bruce Ismay and the
crew Of the Titanic were convicted be
! fore the hearing. Some Of the ques-
tions asked by Senator Smith, chair
man Of the committee are reproduced
and editorially ridiculed in the news
papers. The Globe refers 10 the sena =
tor as a born fool" ana as a gentle
man from the Wilds Of Michigan who
possibly is compelled by the exigen-
cies of electioneering 20 be as insolent
as possible 20 Englishmen. Unfortun-
ately the investigation is very much IN
his hands and the best efforts OF the
more reputable senator's hardly can
serve 10 nullify the harm ne has done. "
other papers severely attack the Am
erican inquiry. The Standard hopes
that there viii be a speedy termina-
ton Of the investigation at Washing
ton. Senator Smith it says, lis rather
less qualified for such a task than
any individual picked up in an Am
erican street car"
This criticism Of Senator smith and
the Senate Investigation is unjust. It
Is evident the purpose Of the commit
tee and the zeal OF itschairman are
misunderstood; also that the English
newspapers have no desire 10 honestly
represent the ability of the Michigan
senator.
The only purpose of the American
inquiry is 10 bring about changes in
marine regulations which viii serve
20 prevent repetitions Of the Titanic
disaster Had the matter been drop
ped there would have been little hope
Of Improvement in the laws governing
ocean travel. AS il Is the investiga-
ton is almost certain 10 lead to a re-
vision Of these laws.
As regards the treatment OF Wit
nesses the committee IS uniformly
courteous and fair Its only desire
IS 10 bring out all the possible facts.
The Characterization of Senator
smith as born fool" and the declar-
alton he is less qualified to conduct
the inquiry than any individual picked
up in street car shows the extent to
which the English critics have cast
reason and all sense Of fairness TO the
winds. They are in a pretty temper,
in fact they are so angry that they can
only vaporize
The average American knows that
there II no man in the Senate any
more capable of conducting such an
important inquiry than Senator Smith.
