The Steel Corporations Victory.

The complete victory Of tho United
States Steel Corporation IN the disSolu-
ton suit decided yesterday at Trenton
will he received by the country with I'M
mixed satisfaction. 1t will be taken TO
prove that the era Of what might be called
experimental prosecutions under the Sher-
man antitrust law has come TO an end.
Court decisions have now given that law
q complete and rational construction and
marked out the limits within which big
combinations IN industry must confine
themselves IN expanding their trade and IN
conducting competition with weaker rivals
Most biz concerns are anxious nowadays
70 observe the laws provisions against
restraint Of trade and against attempts
at rnonopolization unfair TO competitors
and injurious 70 the public. The United
States Steel Corporations present policy
and record are unimpeachable. It was
brought into court for actions done in
the pass, when the scope Of the law was
not entirely clear, and the court holds that
those actions we're not Illegal and cannot
subject the corporation 10 dissolution.
The country now has its eyes fixed on
the future. It IS looking forward TO a
revival Of industry and prosperity which
is to BIO accompanied in "big business" by
a far larger measure Of fair dealing and
respect for the rights Of competitors than
was the rule in a less enlightened past.
The decision In this last prosecution Of
primary Importance practically closes
past accounts, and the country IS satisfied
to see them closed.
What the public wants most Is some
assurance that industry and transporta-
ton can be resumed at full speed and
without reDressive interference. The anti
trust law has fully proved its worth as a
corrective measure. Il is now time to
emphasize the security which It gives TO
industrial enterprises which have no quar-
rel with is reE0lative provisions and
have willingly abandoned the mistaken
monopolistic or near monopolistic methods
Of the past.

Some Who Were Not Too Proud.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Wilson has received a tact answer
from the Kaiser. Il is: 81 have murdered
your citizens in the Lusitania and will also
try TO sink vessels flying the American flag
and why not7 Are you not too proud TO
Aght?'
Yes; this was the answer to the American
note when the Nebraskan was torpedoed yes
terday. Are we going to suffer this any
longer! Has the spirit of 1916 disappeared T?
We're the Americans at Lexington and Con-
cord too proud TO fight? Was the Father Of
the Country, George Washington. also too
proud TO fight? And would the United States
have the present boundary II Lincoln had
been too proud TO fight for the Union!
OH heroes Of 1912, 1916 and 1898, come
among US and teach US how you were not too
proud TO fight Tell US how you made tyrants

be too proud to fight the enemy Of the world

tyrant. ALFREDO DISTEFANO.

As II the threat Of Intervention In
Mexico and Of war with Germany wore
not enough TO engage all the belhgeren'
fancies which Uncle Sam cares 10 indulge

regulars. the Utes have chosen this mo
ment 10 abandon their reservation IN

the land in Rio Blanco County, Colorado
where they have encnmped, and they In

The situation is ono of extreme dellcacy
The Ute braves, having few paci'sts' or
paciAcists. 70 confuse their councils, are
thoroughly prepared. They are equipped
with high power hunting rifles and
generous supply Of ammunition, and they
have before them the recent example OF
the Piutes. who resisted all attempts OF
posses to dislodge them from their ne"
quarters. The Piutes, TO be sure, finally
succumbed to the Establishments Of Major
General Hugh l.. Scott, chief OF staf OF
the United States Army. Possibly the
Utes would prove equally amenable to his
diplomacy.
But. under the circumstances, can VIC
afford to send the general away from
Washington against these rebels? Surely
there never was time when he was
needed more urgently at his desk or wher
his life was more precious to his country

What Americans Have Stood For

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: I would like TO add another thought
20 the many that have been spoken in re
gard to the sinking of the Lusitania. In
doing this | am not trying 20 lessen the
gravity of Germany's crime. but merely 20
show what the people of this country have
stood for in the past and will undoubtedly
stand for IN the future.
The killing of the hundred-odd Americans
vas p crime, but when Captain Writ killed
thousands in Andersonville prison the people
of this country permitted certain organi-
zation 70 erect monument 10 his memory.
There was hardly a word of protest. The
people who erected this monument certainly
showed themselves to be in sympathy with
Wrtzs cruelty and were, it seems 10 me, &C
cessories after the fact
At the time that this monument was
erected did nothing to help stop it, although
nv father suffered there in that prison for
six months and left barely able to move. For
this reason I have said nothing about Ger
many's action, because | regard myself as
guilty in keeping still before.

now, no matter what he may do. | am not
Of, nor q believer in, his party.

Negroes Stand Ready.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Now, since the people Of the United
States are so engaged in thinking Of Euro
pcan horrors, they have q tendency to over
look American horrors. Daily we read of
negroes being lynched and other such atroci-
ties but Americans hold these things OF
minor importance.
Let us use imagination for few seconds:
The United States Is drawn into this awful
war Cannot men Of intelligence see that
they are going TO need the negro? In every
war in which negro has fought he has al
ways done his part. Let the United States
be drawn into war and the negro stands
ready. You men who make the laws for we
have no true personal, or, at least, class rep
resentatve), fix it so that the negro can feel
in his heart that he has a home to fight for,
because every man fights harder for home,
and | will assure you there will be found
among the Afro-Americans no hangers back
or German sympathizers.

DEPTH OF JOHN BULLS PURSE
National Debt Has Plenty of Room
to Expand In.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: am safe in asserting very few peo-
pie realize that the gross national debt Of
the United Kingdom, prior to the outbreak
Of the present war, was very much smaller
than the debt Of one hundred years ago.
The national debt in July 1914 was approx
natelv R7OO,OOO,OO0 while in 1914 it was in
excess Of 5000, 5000. Tho annual cost in
1914 was about eight shillings a head, while
in 1914 il exceeded Il shillings. Having
these facts in mind, one may very easily ar
rive at a comparative conclusion.
If we take the population as a basis we
find that in 1914 the population Of the
United Kingdom was approximately l''ooo'-
OOO while In 1914 II was about 48,OOO,oOo
On this basis, therefore, the United King
dom could stand a comparative debt OF Al
most O0OOOO,OOO. II, however, we take
the annual cost as comparative basis,
we find that the 1914 debt, costing eight
shillings head, could be multiplied i've
times, giving US the stupendous tota! OF
Sl7 500. 600 900 before 'the cost 10 each lndl-
yidual in the United Kingdom would be
equal TO that Of lSl4-viz.. IL shllllngs a
head. This, therefore, would be the actual
comparative money basis debt that the
United Kingdom could assume before the
country had arrived at its 1914 position.
Here, however, enters the element which
might term the money value basls'-ylz,
the purchasing power of the shilling Of 1914
compared with that of 1914. I believe it
has been pretty we'll established that the
shilling Of 100 years ago was easily worth
three times as much as the shilling Of to-
day on a purchasing power basis. Wages
and incomes have risen TO the point where
a charge of ii shillings head at the pres
ent time would be far less Of tax on the
people than IL shillngs a hundred years
ago. II, however, we assume that the shll-
ling of 1914 had money value" basis Of
only half again that of the 1914 shilling, we
can then safely compare an annual per capita
cost OF 60 shillings in 1914 with that of Al
shilings in 1914. To arrive at this cost,
therefore, we must add so per cent to the
above total OF s1750O,00O,O0O, making a
grand total Of over s26,00O0O0,000 before
the United Kingdom has reached the identi-
cal debt carrying point that it attained In
1914. Personally, l am satisfied it may be
carried many billions beyond this figure, "a
the colonies realize they are in this war to
sink or swim with the mother country, and
every available taxable resource of the en-
pre that was nonresident in 1914 will be
pledged to the successful prosecution of the
present conflict
LLOYD George knew the history OF his
country when he remarked at the beginning
Of the war that the purse Of the empire
would win this conflict. il did that with
Napoleon. As above outlined, I believe that
Great Britain. and therefore the Allies. can
carry this war on for several years before
the financial situation will really cause anxi-
ETY. to the British exchequer.
