Democracy and Merchant Marine


The sole accomplishment Of this
Administration for the American mer-
chant marine has been the passage Of
the Seamen's Bill. which has resulted
in driving practically every American
merchant ship engaged in foreign
trade from the seas. or to seek reg
istry under some other flag. The
Chamber Of Commerce Of the United
States has completed its poll on the
Shipping bill of the last session and
IS per cent of the 2s2 member Or
CARNATIONS oppose that bill, while SO
per cent favor a postal subvention
bill such as was passed by the Re-
publican Congress and defeated in the
eleventh hour by a Democratic fill
buster. If the President really wants
to restore the American merchant
marine the way is clearly pointed by
this poll of 2S2 Of the leading and
most experienced business organiza-
tions in the country.

A Practical Peace Plan.

The most practical peace plan for
the present situation, it seems to US.
is offered by well informed Ameri-
can who has just returned from six
months in Germany where he was in
! the closest touch with the foreign Of
fee. He assures the secretary of
state that the United States could in
sure peace with Germany and. very
probably, could accomplish much
toward ending the war. by sending
the right man as a special ambassa-
dor to The Hague to confer with such
representative as Germany might
send there.
This man points out that Germany
is greatly handicapped in the present
negotiations by her inability to COM
municate with her Ambassador in
this country except through England
or our State Department. He is con-
WINGED that if the President could
send to The Hague such a man as
EIihu Root, who could treat face to
face with some German authority Of
equal standing and ability, the diff
ferences between the two nations
could soon be settled. The American
Ambassador would have no difficulty
In communicating with Washington
in code, while the German could
communicate with Berlin by tele-
phone.
Secretary Lansing was further ad-
vised that, the difficulties between the
United States and Germany having
been disposed of, through the main
tenance Of the special embassy the
influence Of this country could be po-
tently exerted to bring about a ter
mination of the war, always provided
the ambassador chosen for the mis-
sion was man of sufficient breadth
and diplomatic experience.

For Complete Reunion.

The Rev. DR.. Henry W. Temple.
,Sember Of the faculty Of Washington
and Jefferson College. Pennsylvania
says that in 1912, he was one of the
four million Republicans who voted
the Progressive ticket. In that year
DR.. Temple was elected to Congress-
as Progressive, from the gath
PENNSYLVANIA district. In recent
letter to a Republican friend. DR..
Temple describes the Progressive
movement as not a revolt against
Republican principles. 1t was" he
adds, in part a protest against GER
tain abuses that had crept into the old
organization and in part movement
to add to the older Republican princi-
pies certain new policies which would
bring about better social and indus
trial conditions
Continuing, Dr. Temple says:
Many Republicans who believe pre-
cisely as we believe stayed in the old
PARTY and endeavored to correct its
abuses and to work such changes as
would bring the Progressives back to
the Republican ranks. A large num-
Der Of the Progressives did go back
at the election of 1914. because they
were dissatisfied with existing indus
trial conditions. and many more in
Pennsylvania are going back now be-
Cause the Republican party in this
State has already enacted into law
several of the mort important policies
called for by the Progressive platform
OF 1912.
The Republican party needs our
votes: it is inviting us to come back.
and, it seems to me. is ready to come
half way to meet us. With condi.
tons as they are, am pleased to see
this movement. l am convinced that
there is nothing more important in
American politics than the reunion of
these two parties before 1916, and
priety to bring about that reunion
This is a symptomatic statement.
While there may be a few men who
held important positions in the Pro-
'gressive party who still believe in the
VITALITY of that movement and who
Twill persist in keeping up an organf-
cation whose weakness grows more
evident from day to day, the great
bulk Of Progressive leaders and Of the
Progressive rank and file are back in
the Republican party. and, like DR..
Temple, are doing what they can to
bring about complete reunion of the
men who differed in 1912 and whose
differences brought upon the country
its whitening weight Of Democratic
woe.

The Portland Express has dug up

throws in an airship over FREDERICK
ton for good measure. The latest ad-
dition to the yarn is to convert the
German cruisers into submarines. IL
would be a brilliant maneouvre Tor
the German admiralty to make, send

of miles from any base of supplies to
attack transatlantic shipping which
could just as we'll be intercepted after
it had crossed the ocean. Next we
know. Canada will be invaded by
German subs via the Mississippi and
