New Internationalism

At ONE time the American consciousness
"A was bordered by the Atlantic on the east
and the Allegheny Mountains on the west.
Expansion was slow and difficult to achieve,
but eventually the boundary passed the Mis-
sissippi, then the Rocky Mountains and at
length paused for while at the Pacific coast.
But only for a while At one leap it took in
the Hawaiian Islands, to be followed shortly
by jumping to the Philippines from the west
and Cuba and Porto Rico from the east.
Today the whole world is being forced upon
our consciousness, and without any effort we
are using continents units of thought and
terms of speech At last America has taken
its international place of pre- eminence, and
the eyes of all races are turned toward the
one country that can replenish the exhausted
markets.
From across the five seas, from every con-
tinent and many of the far-flung islands of
the world inquiries for American made COM
modites and American raw material are
pouring in upon our manufacturers and job
bers. Our ability to meet the demand is com
mensurate with the opportunity. We have
been given a place in the sun that we must
never relinqush, and II our enterprise keeps
pace with our enlarged vision, there will be
no port in the world where the American flag
is unseen and no market that Is not dom
mated by American products.

Commuters viii Fight

FNHE rate hearing yesterday developed
4 little more than the reasonableness Of the
commuters attitude and the corresponding
unreasonableness of the railroads. Commits
sioner Pennypacker was happy in his sug-
gestion that the roads voluntarily postpone
putting the proposed rates into effect pend
ing decision by the Public Service Commits
sion. BY accepting so fair a proposal the
roads might readily have won back some Of
the popularity which they have forfeited.
They preferred through their attorney, to
suggest that commuters could now load up
with tickets at the present rates for year
to come, as though commuters were persons
well supplied with money that they could
afford to pay a year in advance for service.
The Erie Railway has put the other roads
in a very embarrassing position. Certainly
the Erie is not the most prosperous public
carrier in the East yet its president ayers
that there is no reason Tor changing the
commutat tion rates. OF the three roads enter
ing Philadelphia one at least has been noted
more for the overplus than the deficiency
In it's dividends. Nor is it right to make
traffic conditions in notoriously bad busi-
ness year the basis for the imposition of
new communication tariffs.
The charge of conspiracy, If not legally
well founded, has in it the aspects of accur-
acy 1t would be difficult to convince any
commuter that the responsible officers Of the
roads did not combine and agree among
themselves to institute simultaneously a
definitely studied and harmonious system of
increases. 1t smacks of a conspiracy and
it behooves the Department of Justice to
give the matter its very careful attention.
The fight, Of course, has just begun. It
involves the prosperity not only Of many
suburbs and of the city Itself but finally
even of the railroads. Regulation of public
utilities is too susceptible to public opinion
and responsive to well-defned popular de-
mands for the breaking of any implied con-
tract of this kind to be carried out with
impunity. The authority of the people is
limited, and they may be expected to employ
every recourse they possess Just as GER
tainly they are willing to pay an advanced
price, If conditions warrant IT, but the aboli-
tion of the 1OO-trip tickets has the appear
ance of hold-up.

Trade Rights of Americans

TIME continents Of North and South Amer
i lea have a natural relationship of in
terests that not even the cataclysm of the
European war can be permitted to menace.
Certain OF the Latin-American Republics
have asked the United States to join with
them in demanding the rights OF neutrality
for the trade routes used by them and us
That there should be a dislocatlon of com
merce in the Western Hemisphere because
of the belligerency of European nations is a
fragrant outrage of our rights. There should
be no difficulty in establishing the principle
OF immunity. If the Pan-American Union,
or a commission duly appointed by the
union, win mark lines of meridian on the
east and west coasts within which any beg-
erent acts or interference with neutral COM
meree shall be construed as acts OF hostility
toward both OF the Americas. the European
nations will respect the declaration.
In making this proposal to the United
States Government the suggesting nations
Argentina Chill Peru and Uruguay-lay
down also a reciprocal proposition to the
effect that the war vessels OF belligerent
Powers will not be permitted to coal in any
OF the ports OF Central and Southern America.
This guarantee will take away the only ex-
cuse for the naval presence OF any of the
belligerents in American waters, and would
do away with any possibility OF misunder-
standing, II these proposals are TO be
adopted, they should be taken up at once
because the present situation is irritating
ard dangerous for all concerned.

"BACK TO THE FARM -

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger!
Sir-In of your editorials you say: III
there not enough jobs in the city, there are
plenty in the country" That is easy to say,
and l suppose you said It with the difficulties
In mind: but 1 would like to call attention to
the fact that an unemployed man in Philadel-
phla cannot afford to travel out to the wheat
fields Of the West to get Job that lasts only
a few weeks. Especially II he has n family,
There is a whole lot of nonsense in this
"back-to- the farm" talk. This country needs
a rural renascence, both economic and social
But dumping on the farms men who have be-
come Industrial derelicts will not do anybody
any good. As to buying farm and going out
to work it, there can be success for tho
man who is not as thoroughly prepared for
farming as a professional man ought to be for
his own line of work.

yale bowl, greatest Of modern stada, was
taxed to it's capacity only last week. Every
fall the demand for seats to the worlds
champion baseball series is double the sup
ply. There are occasions each year when
a seating capacity Of 100000 would scarcely
be sufficient and increasing popular inter-
est in sports augurs a time when even so
vast seating capacity that will not be
adequate Football matches in England are
sometimes viewed by larger assemblages.
Philadelphia must have stadium, the
most complete in America, the most COM
modious. 1t must be able to offer to the
Army and Navy annually the finest facili-
ties in the country for their great game. 1t
must be able to present such unparalleled
advantages for other major sports, the inter-
collegiate track meet, etc, that there will
be no possibility of any other city chal-
lenging its supremacy
1t is an investment that far-seeing busi-
ness men cannot ignore Receipts from the
increased number of seats at the Army and
Navy game alone would provide sum suf-
icient for interest and amortization in 10
years of a 100000 stadium.
Philadelphia must not again run the risk
Of losing the Army and Navy game, even
in alternate years It must not Jeopardize
it's prestige in national athletics, 1t must
be prompt and quick in meeting this stu
alton. 1t must rush ahead into moderniza-

for the perpetuatlon of It's supremacy. Our
business organizations should arouse them
selves, and so should Councils Let the
greatest stadium in America be ready for
the celebration of it's opening by the Army

is thing so wise and necessary that no
vigilant city can ignore it. Philadelphia
