The Message.

The President wants something more
of Congress than the routine what ne
wants. however. is full of debate. ana
this leaves problematical what II any
more he gets. Speaker Clark's guess
that ONLY the routine will pass-stili
looks good.
Interest in the message will center
in three of its heads: % The merchant
marine, 90 the national defense, and
t3) economy
The President would restore the nag
to the sea-nakc the United states
again d great carrying power But not
by means of subsidy. He sees danger
in that and cites the substituting or
the great continental railroads as
warning. As a starter he recommends
government owned ships. But after
the flag has been restored to the sea 1t
must be kept there: and what Is the
Presidents plan as to that? We snail
he competing for business with Great
Britain. Germany and Japan: and they
grant heavy subsidies to their mer-
chant fleets. Can we establish a Meet
in the class with theirs. and maintain
it in competition with theirs, by other
means than they have found neces-
sary? Their enormous sea-carrying
business is attributable directly to sub
sides; and no scandals attach to their
execution of the policy
The President is opposed to large
standing army. So say We all. such
an army as Russia, Germany, France,
Austria, Italy, or even Great Britain,
has for years maintained is entirely
outside the American need or caicula-
ton But our military establishment
should be strengthened; and the Presi-
dent speaks a word to that effect in
what he says about the National Guard
of the United States, and about en-
couragirg citizens to familIarlZe
themselves with the use of modern
arms. the rudiments of drill and ma
neuver. and the maintenance and sani-
tation of camps That is simply
teaching the young idea how to
shoot" and TO be ready to shoot
straight and effectively in case of an
emergency.
A stronger navy? Yes, but the Presi-
dent wants to be certain about what
sort of ships to build. Styles change. he
says, but they have always changed.
There is no last word in fighting craft.
If we wait for that we shall never lay
another keel That our navy is not
fit today is the opinion of men the
government has educated to pass upon
that very question. Should we not
guide by them rather than by men
educated in and for politics?
On the subject of economy the Presi-
dent is altogether satisfying. He has
the right notion about that. In SUBJ
stance he Endorses the Thomas B. Reed

War Shifts Market from Dutch to
Chinese Change May
Be Lasting.

NEW YORK, August 24.---The Euro.
pean war has already created new
trade center t
American tobacco merchants, partie-
ularly the importers Of Sumatra leaf,
believe that Shanghai, China, win sup
plant Amsterdam. the present meeting
place fOr those engaged in the trade,
as the distributing point for Snmatra
tobacco. Among the New York import
ers the opinion IS freely expressed that
under the present war conditions the
holding of tobacco inscriptions at Am
sterdam are not possible, and that con
ditions subsequent to the war must
serve 10 hinder rather than help a TO
bacco market at that point.
Geographically, shanghai is admir-
ably situated for the collection and dis.
tribution Of the Sumatra crop, and with
the new and the added shipping facil-
tiles brought about through the open.
ing of the Panama Canal, the China
metropolis is brought nearer the New
York market by many days. Last year,
New York tobacco leaf merchants,
alone, imported 10000 bales Of Sum
atra, and the demand for this type of
bODdtGO Dy american NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. u
cigars has been steadily increasing.
Every year Amsterdam has drawn
thousands of buyers to its tobacco mar
ket and handled millions'of dollars that
passed between growers and merchants.
Shanghai possesses excellent shipping
aud harbor facilities and a consider.
able amount of capital in the Sumatra
leaf business is furnished by merchants
and capitalists engaged in business in
that particular section of China. At
the same time Shanghai is a FREQ port,
and under the peculiar conditions govt
erning the existence of that city it
must remain a neutral port. There Is
probably no other city in the world
that may be affected less by war be-
tween the various nations than Shang
hal. The city. a foreign settlement, is
governed by its own people, with auto
nomy guaranteed by powers that arc
not likely TO decree that its present
status or its government he changed.
Tho permanepec, therefore, of Shang
hal appeals TO the men engaged in the
Sumatra trade and tho new market
place, though born Of necessity, viii
probably remain through choice. a.
