How is ~ possible for the United
States government to expect high
standard of business ethics from pri-
vate or semipublic corporations when
the government itself engages in a
policy which is palpably unjust?
Under the system Of Weighing the
mails and readiusting railway mail
pay only at four-year intervals. every
railroad is required to carry the in
crease in the mail tonnage for four
years without compensation.
At the time the parcel post was
established on January 1, 1913, no
provision was made TO pay for its
transportation by the railroads. The
railroads had to transport the en-
tire volume of parcel post packages
for six months without a penny Of
compensation. Such a practice, II
engaged in by a big corporation to-
ward a weaker one, would result In
prosecution by the United States
government.
Nearly two years have now elapsed
since the establishment of the serv-
ice. yet approximately half the parcel

were unready to meet II. The chance
of q mans house burning down can
be reduced TO a minimum by proper
safeguards; but he continues his in
surance to protect himself against
total loss none the less. Armament
is not and was never asserted to be
a preventive of war; it does, how
ever. in the event of war give a coun-
try some chance to limit its losses
and gain some salvage from its dis
aster.
This view is the view of the coun-
try at large, we are confident. The
movement which Representative
Gardner initiated, and which Senator
Lodge yesterday eloquently supper
ted, to secure an investigation into
our preparedness for war is a COM
nonsense demand to know the facts.
II calls for no vast expansion of our
army and navy, and we do not under
stand that the National Security
League sets out with any precon-
ceived demand for increased appr0-
priations. But the feeling has cry
stallized that hand in hand with our
endeavor for an international polio
ms vi the Mbllu must 81 a NdiAA anu
clear-headed resolve to police our
own hemisphere until the hour of
world agreement is certainly arrived.
We have taken our army and navy
for granted. It is now borne in upon
us that these weapons may not be as
adequate as we supposed. Let us
know the facts. The Tribune pro-
poses to lend every assistance it can
to the discovery of these facts, and
we are glad to welcome the newly
formed league in its organization of
public opinion. There is already
opposition in Washington to any
form of investigation or debate that
hints at the possibility of anything
save utter and unending peace. This
must be fought. and overcome. The
country must know the truth and
must prepare to guard itself intelli-
gently. Our voice for peace viii be
heard with more respect not less
among the nations OF the world II we
first show ourselves able. to look
facts in the face and to act with con-
fidence and courage.

banking position was almost overpre-
pared for trouble, a virtue and not a
fault in that violent panic was pre-
vented precisely because 1t was so
adequately anticipated.
II is interesting to note that while
the latest issue of clearing house GER
tificates In New York was outstand-
ing for a shorter period than in the
1907-0S panic crisis or in 1898. much
the largest total was issued this
year The previous record was made
seven years ago, but was exceeded in
the last few months by S23,635,0 900,
and the maximum amount recently
outstanding at any one time was
S2O,765. 900 gre, ter than in 1907-0s.
There is, in the aggregate of clear
ing house loan certificates taken out
and in the fact that they were all
retired within seventeen weeks from
the first issue to the last cancella-
ton, striking proof of the extent to
which the financial situation has been
adjusted to the circumstances of the
European war. New York's example
in August was quickly followed at
other banking centres, but the Treas
ury reports now that at every point
clearing house certificates have been
either paid off or called for redemp-
ton. According to all precedent this
marks the recovery of financial equi-
librium. The. fact that emergency
currency is in process Of rapid re-
tirement. more than one-third of IL
having been already withdrawn, has
corroborative significance.
The banking position today supple
ments other evidence, the optimistic
bearing of which has been summed
ND in the progress toward complete
resumption OF open dealings in the
organized securities market, and in
creases the encouragement already
offered for a revival of general bust
ness confidence.

Government Injustice
CFrom the washington Post).

post is today being carried by the
railroads without payment. In the
present year alone, it is estimated
that the railroads will lose SS000,000
by reason of this unjust practice.
A joint committee Of Congress has
recommended an entirely new sys-
tenn of weighing to ascertain what
the government should pay the ran
roads for carrying mail each year.
Even under the proposed system, OF
yearly weighing, however, the roads
will he paid only on the basis Of tho
weight of the mail at the beginning
Of the year. The acctmulating in
crease throughout the following
twelve months must lie carried free.
In the collapse of two of the ex-
press companies, and the impairment
Of the business Of al, the others, the
railroads lost considerable business
that was profitable. They are COM
PEELED TO carry the governments ex-
press business at a much lower rate.
Perhaps there is justification for
this, but certainly there is no excuse
for taking SS.000,00O out of the poe
kets Of the railroads each year.
