THE INDEMNITY ISSUE

German statccraft has not yet
given up the idea that when the war
ends the enemies of Germany are
going to be forced through inde.nni-
ties to pay a great share of the
wars costs to Germany. 1t seems
the determined purpose of Berlin to
seize and hold enough alien territory
to be the price of indemnities. Rus
STA will have to pay for the relin-
Guishment of Poland, France for the
recession of her northern provinces
Belgium for her national rehabilita.
ton. indeed, this is moderate
measure of what lay opinion in Ger.
many demands; the more Chauvin.
istic attitude is that the conquered
lands must be in large part retained
and that indemnities must be ex
acted in addition.
The most recent and impressive
case of nation entering a grea
military adventure with the deliber,
ate purpose of exacting indemnities
was seen in the Russo-JapanesC
war, and the issue of the Portsmouth
peace convention established a prec
! edent that must give concern Il
The Washington times., 1915-10-23

very well understood that the ar
rangements for that move have
been considered in all detail by the
allies. An army of a half million
Japanese could be transported
around Asia and through the Suez
canal into Levantine waters in u
time so short that it might be pos
sible to effect a great coup with
them.
Not only that, but they might
even be thrown into the Dardanelles
campaign as a complete surprise to
the Turks and Germans. The move
ment Of the Australian and New
Zealand troops to Persia, Egypt. and
the Egean was accomplished with
the same secrecy that every British
naval movement has been carried
out. There is no reason why naval
authority that could send a fleet to
the South Atlantic and destroy a
powerful enemy without the world
suspecting the operation should not
bring an army from Japan to the
Gallipoli.
Therefore the intimation from
Tokyo suggests strongly that If
japan is really to take further &C.
tive part in the war it may be ex-
pected to play that part in the Near
East.
The Washington times., 1915-10-23
THE SHIPBUILDINa INDUSTRY

From the industrial and shipping
centers of the Eastern seaboard
come urgent demands that somehow
or other bottoms be provided for the
American business with all parts of
the new world. The seaport ware
houses are stocked with goods of all
kinds for the foreign markets, wait
ing for ships to come along and take
them away. Wars demands on the
mercantile marines have been fear
fully heavy, and are going to be
yet heavier. Commerce will have to
take back seat in favor of wars
requirements; and after the war we
will learn that the wastage cannot
be repaired in many years.
At the same time it is stated that
American ship yards have never,
within the time Of constructing mod
ern vessels, been SO busy as they
are now. The costs of this construc-
ton are high but the demand COM
pels them to be accepted. Naval YES
sells are going to cost the Govern
ment more than ever; but it will be
good and timely spending, helping
to rehabilitate the American ship
building business as well as to
strengthen our naval power. 1t is
said that the greatest fighting ships
will cost about S19,0OO,0OO under
present conditions where formerly
they came at $15,OOO,O0O.

MAKING BETTER SCHOOLS

Two or three points stand out in
the annual report of the Superin-
tendent of Schools as recommended
tons which the Washington schools
could we'll consider. Principal among
these is the physical examination
for teachers. Such an examination
should be held upon teachers en-
try into the system, and, as recon-
mondcd by the superintendent, upon
her return from long illness or
when age seems to impair her eff
cheney. To retire teachers or to give
them compulsory leaves of absence
also entails what teachers have been
fighting for, a retirement fund. The
superintendent does we'll to place
the whole matter Of such a fund on
basis of greater efficiency in the
teaching force, for that is the
ground on which it should rest.
City-wide promotions, and the
abolition of the present "promo.
tons" which carry no raise in pay
are reforms that have long been
needed. Some time, it is to be hoped
the promotion by grades will be
abolished, and it will be recognized
here, as it lis in other cities, that d
teacher of first or second grade
may be great deal more valuable
than teacher in higher grades
Most educators realize that teaching
problems increase inversely with the
age of pupils.
To exchange Washington teachers
with other cities would be a philan
thropy, as well as benefit to US
Capital teachers could carry to Other
cities many movements that have
been worked out here. This cit,
would profit by having in its midst
teachers with other viewpoints. Il
would be especially valuable to eX
change teachers with Middle West
ern cities where civic spirit ha!
thoroughly imbued the schools, ant
with more Of this spirit there would
not be so much backwardness abou
taking advantage of the opportuni
ties afforded here for social center
use of school buildings.

A GRATIFYING HARMONY

There is every indication that the
question of national preparedness is
not going to occasion any marked
political divisions in Congress or in
the country. There will be a gen.
eral disposition, on the other hand,
to achieve unanimity in passing
necessary measures.
For more than merely political
reasons this will be a fortunate cir
cumstance. The world will be far
more impressed with the meaning of
American measures if there is ma
tional unity back of them. A har-
monious Congress, providing the re-
sources with which to place this ma
ton in self-respecting position be-
fore the world will be a decisive an
swer to those peacc-at-any-price ad-
vocates who have promulgated the
preposterous doctrine that even in
such crisis as the present it is
dangerous to prepare for trouble.
The conhagration now going on
over a wider part of the world than
it has ever before reached, and still
threatening to spread yet further,
may involve America, in some uneX-
pected way, at any time. He must
be bent on living in fools para
disc who refuses to realize this. We
have been on the verge of the most
grave cventualities more than once
in the last year There is no know
ing what accident or incident may
bring the conflict home to our vital
interests or national honor. To
neglect readiness for whatever may
happen would be only less mex
cusablc than to fail to make ready
! in svch manner as will most strik-
ingly testify to our earnestness in
the business. AS matters stand in
the world right now, preparation is
a war measure that ought to be
adopted with the undivided support
of all parties and factions. 1t is
apparent that this is not quite pos
sible; therefore the best approxima
ton to solidarity will be unitec
action of Congress, the spokesman
of national feeling that the rest OF
the world will be most willing t.
recognize as sounding the nationa
voice.

JAPA N AND THE BALKANS

Somewhat irrelevantly, it would
seem, a Japanese statesman is in
terviewed about the part Japan is
playing and going to play in the
world war, and replies with a mys-
ferrous suggestion that Japan is
even now doing far more than the
world realizes and later may take
a part that will astound it. Japan,
he points out, is nearest neighbor
among all the allied powers to Rus
STA; therefore Japan might natural
ly be expected to lend its aid most
emphatically to Russia.
There was no assurance, no direct
intimation, that Japan might send
troops to RUSSIA. 1t is indeed quite
beyond the probabilities that such a
thing should be undertaken. The
trans Siberian railway is taxed be-
You'd its capacity to send munitions
of war from Japan and America tc
Russia. The effort to send a mill.
tary force large enough to become
an important factor would near
merely that carrying capacity that
might better be devoted to move
ment of supplies would be utilized
in sending troops. Therefore it is
to be presumed that there is nc
chance of Japan undertaking direct
ly to re-enforce the armies of Crane
Duke Nicholas.
But this does not exclude Japar
from opportunity to send troops in
to the war or to send them wher,
they will be of the greatest service
to Russia. For year there ha!
been serious consideration of tn,
possibility that Japanese troops
might be used in Europe, and it il

price Is about III cents to the primary
producer or the raw. To double this
and make a price of 3 cents means
prosperity that can only be understood
by Americans who conceive Is cent cot
ton or 81 wheat and SIS hogs In a year
when there are big outturns OF both.
The point about all this is that the
sugar that is to keep the United States
going for most OF the year 1915 will get
into this country before the tariff can
be entirely removed. 1t will pay its
revenue into the treasury; there will be
less pressing realization OF the need to
restore this duty for revenue purposes !;
and Democrats of the frec-trade persua-
sion are hoping that by the time the
question can be reached by Congress
again. following the election next au-
passed. At any rate. whether the sugar
duty Is formally restored the coming
winter or not, there will be almost no
significant revenue result before tn"
next election. because between May and
November the receipts Of sugar at the
ports are small. and the existence or
non-existence OF sugar duty would be
unimportant.
Present imports of sugar are at tn"
rate of about 2,00O. 600 tons or 1000 90. 00j
pounds a year: on which. az cent per
pound, the customs revenue Ia 50. 0cO,O CO...
Nobody denies that this revenue is in
tenscly significant; but the Democrats
who view the question in its practical
legislative aspects feel that the opening
of the tariff issue would be an affair OF
such embarrassing proportions a. quite
to Justify them in letting the revenue
needs wait till after the national cleo
ton.
Sugar the Weak Spot.
There will be plenty OF Republican
insistence on getting the question un-
der consideration. Sugar is the weak
spot in the Democratic tariff scheme
The war saved wool. and there Is some
testimony that after the war wool will
probably take care of itself for I
considerable time. because for a num-
Der OF years the worlds supply OF
wool from all sources has been in
creasingly inadequate to the require
ments. But with sugar. the situation

THE GREATER ADVERTISING

A Chicago man, George H. Jones,
addressing the American Iron and
Steel Institute, told his hearers that
the steel business needed, more than
anything else, to advertise. He be-
gan by urging that the day of per-
sistent competition is past; there
must be cooperation among the in
terests in any great industry, and
he shocked his auditors bit by
adding that no great business is SO
lacking in progressiveness, in the
most modern methods Of stimulat-
ing trade, as the steel industry.
"More money is spent in advertising
tooth paste in this country" he OBJ
served little sardonically, "than in
advertising steel products"
J That is worth thinking about. But
Mr.. Jones did not state the whole
case. He should have added that
the money spent advertising tooth
paste is not economic waste. The
country has better teeth as result
and better teeth are worth the cost.
1t wouldn't have them without the
effective stimulation of the denti-
frice business.
Last year one of the great manu-
featuring companies of the country
received an annual report from its
management, in which it was ex-
planned that business had been con-
siderably increased despite very de-
pressed general conditions which in
ordinary circumstances would have
justified expectation of decided
loss in volume. This company makes
hot water and steam radiators anC
boilers and appurtenances for heat
ing purposes. Instead of accepting
the inevitable and acquiescing in 8
period of bad business, this concern
went into advertising. 1t had beer
experience that these modern heat
ing facilities were commonly in
stalled only when new building:
were being erected. Yet, the com
pany found, there was no reason
why these same facilities should MOI
be installed in older houses, max
ing modern structures of them
The public, when this was presented
through attractive and convincing
advertising, began making such i'm
provements.
There were two results, at least
of significance. The company die
more business; and people VIII
bought its supplies found them
selves possessing better properties
If advertising meant nothing NOR,
than increasing the cost of goods i
would be subject to the charge tina
it is waste. But in fact it is one o
, the most useful Instruments o
progress.
. The suggestion that the nationa
steel and iron industry get togethe
for a huge advertising campaign il
highly interesting. 1t carries will
it the notion that there must be CO
operation, especially in foreig1
fields. This can be accomplished
, only if there is modification of ma
tional trade regulations looking t.
, such unifcation of interest. Tn
, cartel system of Germany come
, into mind with this suggestion. |
is high time that such proposal
> were getting widespread considera
ton.
