Our Commercial Opportunity

Without undue selfishness In seeking II, the
United States will have thrust upon II by the
exigencies OF the European war an unprece-
dented opportunity for Advancement OF CONNER
cial prestige.
Manifestly while the war lasts and for some
time after. especially II a prolonged struggle,
we shall have to supply Europe with much of
Its food and many other articles. We shall not
only have to supply the belligerents, them
Selves but other markets, which they have been
furnishing. In certain lines this includes South
America. II Is to South America our CONNER
clal interests first turn because It should be our
field naturally. although We have sat by and
seen Germany eclipse us in the competition for
South American trade. just as England has out
done us In the orient.
OF late, however the United states has been
giving closer attention to the study of South
American and Oriental needs and desires, as
we'll as friendship. In China, we are admittedly
getting on a rather firm footing, but We have
also been cultivating our Latin-Americans with
a good deal OF promise. Now, surely, II we treat
them right In this transport Of substitution and
properly follow up temporary advantages. we
should be able TO hold at least share of their
trade in the future.
Merit counts in foreign as we'll as domestic
business. We have the goods and our goods
have the merit. AS our consular department
has repeatedly made plain. the chief reason why
Americans have suffered in many foreign mar
kets i'm competition with other nationalities. is
that our manufacturers and merchants have
given too little heed to special demands OF those
peoples. while the German. the British and other
business men have studied them and fashioned
their wares accordingly The United States
seeks no undue advantage at the expense Of un-
fortunate or war-mad sister nations and it will
be taking none to make the most of this opporZ
tunity and push its own unQuestionod CONNER

Becoming General.

Like the conflagration that starts from a
spark and eats up everything within reach the
war fever feeds upon itself. and we are now
witnessing the rapid spread Of army mobiliza-
ton that threatens a general European war
with probable worldwide scope.
In his time, Swift referred TO war as "that
mad game the world so loves to play" and we
have plainly not yet outgrown the war game
for which the great nations Of the earth have
been keeping themselves constantly equipped.
All we may now hope is that the arena Of the
conflict may be defined and restricted, although
with such tremendous forces engaged in It no
one can tell where clash will occur
The reluctant entrance OF Great Britain In
aid Of its treaty allies leads to the belief that
the question Of naval supremacy, as well as OF
land superiority, will be fought out. II gives
us the omnous picture OF a British Armada
guarding the North sea and the British chan
mel promising spectacular engagements.
The ENHANCEMENT Of Great Britain and
France also destroys. in part at least, the idea
Of a struggle merely between the Teuton and
the slav, for the new alignment forces Anglo
Saxon Britain and the Latin-derlved French
man on the same side with the slav, and pre-
vents division Of sympathies on strictly racial
lines.
The fact that war is becoming so general In
itself may force reflection and halt--at least,
that must be the universal prayer.

Whore ARBITRATION Triumph,.

Industrial peace scores a triumph in the
signed agreement OF the representatives of
ninety-eight transmissIssippi railroads and
their 10000 enginemen TO submit their issue TO
arbitration. The triumph though, lies in the
fact that, as the agreement runs for at least
eighteen months, II evidently contemplates legal
force under the Newlands act to bind the awards
OF the arbitrators. II will be recalled that the
chief complaint of the employees, when first
asked to arbltrata their differences. was that It
guaranteed nothing, because the railroads had
failed in the past to abide by arbitration agree
ments as the men construed them. II will like
