FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE

Huron Huronite: President Wilson
has said that he is to formulate a plan
for strengthening The national de-
Tense and present it to congress for
consideration at the coming session.
Perhaps congress will follow the
plan of the president and perhaps it
will originate a plan Of its own. At
any rate, national defense will be a
live topic after congress again enters
upon its work, the European war
having aroused the American people
to the consideration of measures that
are generally passed by in silence.
Developments of the European war
have convinced the world that it's
ratification system is a thing of the
past and that steel clad ocean arma-
ment cannot meet the destructive
submarine.
The navy department will recon-
mend a large increase in submarine
construction and it is presumed that
underground trenches will take the
place of costly land forts. The ma
chine gun is also replacing the mus
ket and it must have a large place
in future calculations.

ests In the east are trying to get this

clarity the situation for them. To

CANDIDATES PROSPECTING

Butte Daily Miner: Within the
last few weeks Montana has been Wis
tied by two distinguished republican
leaders, who are at least under con-
ditions, receptive candidates for the
presidential nomination of their
party.
The first one was Senator Albert B.
Cummins of Iowa, who honored
Butte with a days visit, and the sec
ond gentleman, who is understood to
be willing to meet the nomination
more than half way, is former Sena-
tor Theodore e. Burton of OHIO, who
was entertained at a banquet in
Helena Saturday night by some lead
ing republicans of Montana.
Both these famous politicians ap.
peared to be on a kind OF still hunt
for the purpose of looking the ground
over, and it is not believed that eth
er IL of them gained much encour-
agement from their Investigations in
this state.
In fact, the Miner gets it from a
pretty reliable source that MIR. Bur
ton. when in Helena last week, was
wise and generous enough to speak in
praise of the manner in which Presi-
dent Wilson has handled the foreign
policy of this country.
With Mr.. Cummins on the other
hand, it is believed his candidacy de-
ponds upon the duration of the war
and If he could be assured that it
would be over in six months or so,
his hat would be in the middle of the
ring.
Generally speaking, republicans APP
pear to realize that if the conflict in
Europe continues another year or
more. the American people will not
swap horses in the middle of the
stream, but will re elect President
Wilson without the latter having to
make much of a fight.
The chances are that less than a
year hence the wise old birds in the
republican party will keep in the
background and hand the nomina-
tion on a silver plate to some aspir-
ing member of their party whom they
want to kill off and over whose de-
feat they will not shed any tears.

HOMECOMING OF STOCKS

There are indications that we shall
witness a homecoming OF American
stocks during the next few months.
European countries, and particularly
Great Britain, are hard put to main
tain a credit in this country sufficient
for their needs. They have no gold
that they can spare, and that their
debts against the United States, save
as they are in the form of stocks and
bonds, have been iiquidated is testi-
fed to by the price of exchange. Only
two recOurses are left to them.
Either they must negotiate loans on
their bonds or they must relinquish
their holdings of American stocks
and bonds. Already, of course, they
have sent over American stocks and
bonds to be converted into banking
credit, but this has been done in a
limited way which testifies their re-
luctance to surrender these securities.
They are still no less reluctant, but
the necessity which overcomes reluc-
lance is becoming constantly more
imperious, They must sell or borrow
and perhaps do both if they are to
continue to get from us the things
which they SO indispensably need.
Whatever the means, it is to the
highest interest of the United States
to have them maintain their credit
here, for it is on their credit that
they must draw to pay for what we
have to sell.

THE M AND WILSON.

While the San Francisco y
ton of the German.American alliance
supplied a vehicle for some ill-adyis-
ed individual %utterances, the record
made by the convention as a whole
was %discreetly moderate. By an
overwhelming vote the convention
voted down a proposal to address a
scolding letter to President Wilson,
c1lticising his course in opposing an
embargo on munitions and carrying
an in%ferential threat of intention to
hold him to account politically. The
convention adopted a resolution in
favor of an embargo on arms and
ammunition, but it was sober in tone.
and it made no effort to drag the
president into the issue.
whether viewed from an ethical or
a political standpoint, the wisdom of
the moderate record formally made
at San Francisco is to be commended.
criticism of the chief executive in a
matter of foreign policy would be
wholly inappropriate coming from
any national body representing q
large element of American citizen
ship. Moreover the making of such
a record at San Francisco would have
involved exceedingly poor politics.
AS 1T appears to this newspaper, the
surest way to insure the reelection of
President Wilson is to have the radi-
cal sympathizers with either or both
sides of the European unpleasant
ness open a fight upon him because of
his efforts to hold the United States
to an attitude of true neutrality. The
moment a fight of this kind is at
tempted in an organized way, sup
port OF the president is made a mat
ter of patriotism with many citizens
who might be opposed to him as q
mere matter of politics. Support
would go TO the president on that &C
count from many periodically dis
posed citizens who might not have
been pleased with his handling Of all
Viz wal pIoDlbIDS.
While not sy%mpathizing with the
administration in its policies, these
citizens would be quite sure of their
presidents patriotic intent and
equally sure OF their obligation as
patriotic citizens to support his for
elgn policies and to see that he did
not come to harm politically by rea-
son OF them. There are enough
American citizens who can be count
ed on to feel this way to more than
counterbalance the number that may
be disposed to help one European
belligerent or the other through the
medium of American politics.
Those whose sympathies in the war
make them pine for the retirement
of President Wilson to private life
should talk their sentiments quietly
among themselves. The moment the
Impression obtains that they are con-
Quoting an organized campaign Of
serious proportions to defeat the
president, the chances for the presi-
dents defeat on any score will be re-
duced to insignificant proportions
