AVERTEO A DISASTROUS WAR IN
EUROPE.

The part which France played at
the ume~of the Dogger Bank tragedy
was an early demonstration of it's
vital force. 1t would be scarcely too
much TO say, indeed, that at that time
the entente stood between Europe and
a gigantic war. Another such demon
stration came few months later, in
the British support OF France in
Morocco at the time when Russia's
engagements in the Far East seemed
to leave France isolated and to give
Germany opportunity to dominate the
North African scene.
Again, If the Importance Of thing
is to be estimated by the efforts which
are made TO undo it and TO break II
down, we must give TO this compact
high rank. For not before I'm modern
European history has any such in
ternational arrangement been made
the target Of more persistent and for

II is no uncommon thing for British
sovereign 10 visit the French capital
and in itself it involves no politiSal
significance. Taken, however. in con-
nection with some perfectly obvious
circumstances, il looms into potential
importance Of the first magnitude,
possibly marking an epoch in Euro
pean politics.
This. in the first place, is the tenth
anniversary Of the entente cordial.
It was ten years ago this very month
that Lord Lansdowne, the British
Foreign Secretary and Paul Cambon,
the French Ambassador in London, al
fixed their signatures to that remark
able instrument which put an end TO
the old policy and practice Of pin
pricks" and made the two nations
friends. There has been in some not
altogether disinterested quarters an
inclination TO sniff at the entente as
q trifing matter Of mere sentiment
and Of no real value in diplomacy, and
certainly Of none whatever in war.
The history of the last ten years is a
sufficient answer to that. 1t is quite
true that the entente has no such
binding force as an alliance. and in
vests its members with neither the
benefits nor the responsibilities Of the
latter. Yet, it has by no means been
without important results.

State Banks Eligible

State Bank Examiner w. f. Hanson
has announced that his department
will rule that state banks are en-
titled to come under the new nation
al currency plan. An amendment to
the banking laws providing that no
state bank should subscribe to the
stock of another banking corpora
ton" but eminent lawyers and bank
ers agree with Examiner Hanson in
the belief that this prohibition should
not prevent the state banks from sub
scribing to the stock of one of the
regional reserve banks.
With the state banks allowed to
come under the act, which most of
them are anxious to take advantage
of, prospects for securing one of the
regional banks for the Northwest,
probably for Seattle are frightened
considerably When the hearing was
held at Seattle last week it was fear
ed that with only the national banks
subscribing for regional bank stock,
the S4,O00,000 subscription necessary
could not be secured. The sub
scriptions of the state banks. how
ever. are now expected to make up
the difference.

Making Guilt Personal

President Wilson is opposed to the
old plan of imposing fine upon q
corporation that violates the Sher.
man act. The payment of fine works
no hardship upon the big corporation
which promptly passes the amount
of the fine. and court costs, together
with little added tax to cover an.
noyance, along to the consumer. The
President would fix the responsibility
upon some individual in the corpora.
ton and punish him by fine and
Imprisonment, or both. He would
make guilt personal.
New York has just furnished an
illustration of the need of such legis
lation and of the discrimination
practiced under the existing system.
Three justices of the Court of Special
Sessions in New York united in 4
decision sending dealer in rotten
eggs to prison for sixty days. The
dealer showed that he had bough,
the eggs from Armour & Co. and
Swift & Co. The justices found they
could punish these corporations only
by a fine and they imposed fine OF
$500 on each of the concerns. In
this case the prison doors opened only
for the miserable little dealer who
made a business of poisoning his
customers with his putrid wares,
while the big dealers escaped with
fines. Such gross miscarriages OF
Justice form an eloquent argumen.
In support Of President Wilson's
proposal to make guilt personal.

The Business Situation Reviewed

Taken at it's face value the quar-
terly statement issued this week By
the United States Steel Corporation
is not an encouraging one. Net earn
ings of $23,036,349 compare with $685.
1857 for the corresp onding quarter
OF the previous year and $23 ,1O5,1
for the last three months of 1911. A
deficit of little more than $1,00000O
is shown after all charges and divi-
dends. The results of operations of
the big company are about as esti
mated. The figures measue condi-
tons that are past and are not al
index of either the present operations
or future possibilities. Within the
last few weeks there has been some
improvement in the steel trade and
the prospects are for still greater
business with the advent of
spring. In any event there is much
more cheerful sentiment prevailing in
this and other industries. 1t may take
some time, probably the greater part
of the year. before higher prices and
better business can bring about a
much better showing of earnings, but
the corporation evidently believed
that the turn for the better had come
or regular dividends on the common
stock would not have been declared.
There are daily accommodating evil
dences Of better times in every line
of trade. The chief factor is the in
creasing abundance Of money at the
worlds great financial centers. This
will allow much needed new financing
on the part Of many corporations and
in the end will result in stimulating
various lines Of business. Much eau
ton is still observed by big inter-
ests everywhere but nothing ever has
been lost by conservative practises.
In fact there is no doubt that the con-
sentative. hand-to-mouth policy pur
sued by business interests everywhere
the last year or two has been the
means of preventing a panic and at
the same time has made a basis for
more substantial future prosperity.
There has been a remarkable clear
ing of the financial atmosphere re-
Gently and the month just closing GER
tainly marks the beginning of better

United States it is gratifying to know
that the relations between the gov

which doubtless will result for the
profit of ALL OF course much of this

the reasons advanced for their OBJ

tor.
