Steel Prices and the Naval Program.

Two elements of public interest are Just now
combining 20 monopollze considerable portion
OF that casual attention the American citizen
gives TO his affairs. One OF these is that the
democratic administration has determined on an
ambitious program for naval construction, to be
provided for by the coming congress. The other
IL that the price OF steel has advanced at least 20
FER cent. and the big ships will consequently
cost that much more. In other words, dread
naught contracted for last spring at SIS, 900
will now cost SIS. 000. 900. and other things in
proportion. This advance is due in part to the
uncommon demand of Europe for American steel.
But the democrats should not be permitted
e. hide behind the war demand for steel and thus
escape the responsibility for the result OF their
own Observation-Disclosures. When congress was in
session last spring. and the appropriation bills
were under consideration. the needs for addi-
tional warships was urgent and as apparent
as Il Is today. but the democrats cut out the
items that would have provided for the very
things they are now demanding. This action has
the effect OF increasing the expense at the outset
b. one-fifth, and no telling how much more be-
fore the ships are ready to take the water.

biunders made by the present administration in
It's efforts 70 be on both sides Of the peace ques-
ton at one and tho same time. Preparedness is

advisers fooled when they had their chance.

British DIPLOMACY.

British diplomacy In the present world crisis
does not measure mp anywhere near the stand
ard of days gone by. When such giants as Dis
raeli, Gladstone and others who led British
statesmanship in the past, are recalled. the
efforts OF Earl Grey seem more than ever futile
in comparison. One London paper, reviewing
recent events complains that the failures OF the
Foreign office have been "ghsstly" This IL a
mild term 20 apply, when the seriousness OF the
situation so far as the British empire is con-
corned. is realized.
The failure OF the negotiations with the
Balkans is not the most costly Of a series OF
British diplomatic blunders, running back to the
days before the war commenced. The most stu
rendous OF these mistakes has been the British
dealings with the United States. In this matter
the attitude OF Great Britain has been one OF
reliance on the strength OF friendship OF a cen
tury, taking Il for granted, apparently, that we
would be willing to acquiesce in almost anything
that might be done, short OF open affront, thus
alternating sympathy and support that might
otherwise have been unquestioning II any
kindly feeling for the Allies remains here. It is
in spite Of. rather than because OF, the actions
OF Great Britain.

shaping, and It need not surprise any II the
ultra-conservatves who have SO far had much
to say as to England's course in the war, are
shaken from their hold on the destiny of the
