Mr.. Needham and Prof. Peters were
just bowing acquaintance. Their ways
seemed to lie far apart. and therefore
the author was more than astonished
after dinner that evening when the pro-
fessor asked him II he did not wish TO
take a walk. When they were alone the
man OF mathematics said:

man what to do to get his case in the

Two days later Mr.. Needham happened
TO mention in the hearing OF Lady Saxon
that there was a fine motorboat down at
the river, and she at once commanded
him to escort her down to see IT,
The professor had said he would

Trapped by Great Britain.

The reason why is that years and
years ago, the American people departed
from the sage advice of George Wash
ington and became involved in an en-
tangling foreign alliance. By a docu-
ment known as the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, which was another instance of
Great Britain getting the best of us, the
United States and Great Britain entered
into a partnership for the control of a
trans-isthmian canal. In the course of
time, the United States came to the con-
clusion that it would like to undertake
the work in independent fashion. The
Clayton-Bulwer treaty stood in the way.
1t was necessary to repeal that treaty,
and this was done in the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty. 1t is the latter document
which contains the clause guaranteeing
no discrimination in the matter of tolls,
and this guarantee is the price which
England asked for breaking the original
joint agreement
The people, as a rule, do not appre-
ciate nor understand the devious ways
of diplomacy, but they do know that, in
some way or other, England has trapped
Us again. Apparently, as President VIII
son says, if we are to be honest with
ourselves and the rest OF the world, we
will have to respect the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty. There is, however, a consider
able difference of opinion as TO whether
the exemption law was in violation of
that treaty. Former President Taft, who
has an acknowledged legal mind, does
not support England's contention, and
John Bassett Moore, the eminent au-
thority on international law, is also said
to hold that repeal is unnecessary. The
struggle will end, of course, with doing
as Great Britain desires. We never yet
have won when it Games to the question
of either making or constituting a treaty
with the mother country.
The Washington herald., 1914-03-08

campaign opens. Whether they can get
the country greatly excited over the
issue is question. In Congress the diff
ference of opinion is very marked. The
men who believe that repeal is right are
very positive in their views. while those
who hold the opposite belief are equally
emphatic in their convictions. The peo-
pie may range themselves on opposing
sides with. equal positiyeness, in which
case the whole question will have to be
thrashed out upon the stump. One
thing, however. is certain. The Irish
element both in Congress and the coun-
try is tremendously aroused over an ap-
parent trucking to the demands of Great
Britain, and threatens to make things
warm for the administration.
Meanwhile, the Objectionable clause
will be repealed, exactly as President
Wilson desires. OF that outcome there
is not the slightest doubt whatever.

THE OPEN FORUM.
Herald Readers Express Their Views
on Current Topics.

To the Editor: I notice In the press
this morning that number of our
wealthy Americans who spend great
deal OF time abroad have expatriated
themselves, and become subjects Of
foreign countries for the purpose OF es-
Gaping the income tax. The TRADE for
the last few years 4gainst industry.
wealth. prosperity. and ability has driven
many men and much business out of the
country. and the present Democratic
free trade is injuring the Industrial inter-
ests OF our country by putting our high
price wage on a level with the low price
wage earners of foreign countries
But all this Is general and affects our
whole country. The recent acts Of Con-
gress and Its attitude toward the District
are causing great harm here.
The Kenyon law was harmful and the
eight-hour law is more so. Employers of
girls are already making arrangements
TO move their business places into vir-
ginia on account of that law, and some
who cannot well move are discharginz
girls and employing Greeks or other for
eigners.
The attitude OF Congress has caused
the assessment board to raise the assess
ments on real estate, and in some in
stances to more than twice what il has
heretofore been. and the threat from
Congress to tax intangible property is
causing owners of personally taxable to
look elsewhere for home. Rents are
going down. and the number of vacant
houses Is growing larger. Those in the
government service are fearing demotion
or dismissal. and the business conditions
in Washington are more unfavorable and
unpromising than at any other time with
in the memory OF man.

POLITICAL SITUATION.

President Wilson has again shown his
complete domination of Congress. The
word spoken by him in favor of the re-
peal of the canal toll exemption law has
proven all-suficient. It makes no diff
ference that the President has reversed
his own position and has run counter to
the Democratic platform. Congress is.
subservient to his will
There is certain to be political side
to the fight for the repeal of the exemp-
ton clause. A public spectacle of di-
vided Democratic party viii be avoided,
because in the House the Democrats
who oppose repeal will content them
selves with perfunctory negative, while
in the Senate Mr.. O'Gorman, of New
York, is likely to be the only Democrat
with the courage to stand openly for
his convictions. Under the surface,
however, there will be some chahng, and
this is especially true as respects the
Irish element of the party. Among
the men of Irish extraction in Congress
there is much resentment against the at
titude of the administration, and antag-
onism is being expressed in emphatic
terms. The Gaelic newspapers are in
dulging in severe criticism. 1t is true
that this feeling is founded upon long
time hatred of Great Britain, but it is,
nevertheless, quite universal.
There is some foundation for bitter
comment as to the invariable ease with
which England outwitS the United States
in matters of diplomacy. The only two
wars between the United States and
Great Britain resulted in victories for
the American people, but there has never
been a diplomatic contest between the
two countries which did not result in
defeat for the American side. This fact,
together with the feeling of humiliation
consequent upon being compelled to re-
peal a statute at England's behest, tends
to create a feeling of dissatisfaction.
The American cannot understand why,
after they have built and paid for the
canal with American brains and Ameri-
can money, they cannot let American
coastwiSe vessels pass through either at
low rate of toll or without the pay
ment OF any toll.

One Year of Democracy.

To the Editor: The friends of the Al
ministration, are congratulatinr them
selves and the country on what thev
have accomplished. the first year of their
control Of the Government. AcknowIedg-
ing that they have succeeded In doing
what they set out TO do in the way Of
legislation, will they now please tell the
country. what good all these laws have
done for the people. Is the cost of living
any less? Is the financial condition Of the
country as good as il was a wear ago.
Are there as many people being en-
ploycd?
We are certainly sure that a wear ago
there were no mobs of unemployed men
desecrating churches, as is now being
done
Is the political condition as good? We
had chance to aid the Mexican govern
ment in quelling the rebellion, by doing
Hs all other prominent nations had done.
by acknowledging Huerta and thus en-
abling him to borrow all the money need

ing the advice Of a man who knew the
situation and was able to judge affairs
correctly. the President sent special
agents. who were there a few months
and then reported to the President what
they were expected to report before they
left the United States
Inc British minister never said arv-
ihlng more 10 the point. than the words:
The Washington Administration does
not understand the situation" No wonder
the President and his advisors finched at
the remarks for they knew its truth. To
save himself the President has hcrn

fairs in this condition, the President will
