7 do not mean that Mr.. Lucas is I'M
friendly 10 America. But he is living
in the age when England and America
were at war and he is an Englishman;
and in that consists one value OF his
book. We see ourselves as others then
saw us. Surely we can afford TO look
on at that spectacle and to form his
torlcal Judgment. In the long run the
historical view and the American view
will not re far apart. Mr.. Lucas at
times is remote from the historical
standpoint. He is extremely unhappy
about the Declaration of Independence,
saying:
"The language of this document is so
deliberately violent and so shrilly high
pitched that it can be described as
nothing but frantic"
II IL he same word which he applied
to Burke. In both cases I would nave
been a good word to omit. In support
OF IL ne quotes from the Declaration Of
independence some OF the most indis-
putable accusations against the King

consent BIT Jeffcrson's rhetoric. it

Engineers Kept Their Word.

"The whole thing is laughable,' he
went on. Both the railroad men and
the companies were amused by it. But
the engineers were good sports. They
agreed To abide by the award Of that
kind of an arbtra ton commission and
they kept their word. If they had
known what it was going TO be like.
however. they would never have gone
into il. We are now profting by their
mistake.
He said the members of the arbitra-
ton board in the engineers dispute had
relied largely upon the records OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission Tor
their findings These records MIR. car
ter described as VIGOROUSLY faulty.
The railroads. he said. had a special
bureau busy collecting statistics 10
bolster up their wage contentious, AT
great expense.
They might come before voluntary
commission with these statistics" he
remarked but they couldn't submit
them to commission OF arbitration
constituted according 10 the provisions
of the Erdman act. because then they
would have to swear To their accu-
racy."
The hremen. therefore. refuse TO ar
bitrate except under the strict pro-
visions of the Erdman act which gives
Ia an arbitration board Of three all the
sacredness of court of law ana sale
guards the testimony presented ne
fore il accordingly. The railroads nave
agreed to arbitrate the dispute before
a board of six. but tile hremen con-
tend that this would not he arbitra
ton under the E.rdman act. and in TINS
opinion they are supported by Judge
Knapp. They have refused this last
propositior Of the railroads. and there
the situation rests.
