DIPLOMATIC "TRIUMPHs.

Again the friends of the administra-
tion anticipate another diplomatic
triumph over the yielding of Austria
Hungary TO our rather vigorous repre-
sensations in the note relating TO the
Ancona outrage. There is no reason TO
believe. however. that it will be any
greater triumph than the one scored
over Germany. which. Of course. was
not triumph II T. true we had some
deferential answers 10 our numerous
notes on the Lusitania horror. but Ger.
many kept on ignoring our warnings.
defed our strict accountability" atti-
tude and supplemented the Lusitania
with several similar outrages. She
would have been at ii yet. had II not
been for the English navy making the
submarine zone untenable for her u.
boat enterprises. II was not our diplo-
matte frmness that made Germany
yield. but the activity OF the British
navy that made her submarines cease
their murderous business.
II is not likely that Austria will sue
cumb 10 our diplomacy with any more
promptness than did Germany. unless
her boats are driven from the Mediter-
ranean as the German boats were from
English waters. The alternative Of not
agreeing 20 our representations is the
rupture of friendly" relations between
the United States and Austria-Hunga
~. and surely that cannot be scored
as diplomatic triumph. And yet the
Wilson foreign policy Is admired and
acclaimed by the party shouters as
the best ever"

WEST VIRGINIA FOR BURTON.
Clarksburg Telegram.

Clarksburg Telegram.
The presidential boom OF the Hon.
Theodore Burton. former United
States senator from the state Of Ohio.
Is rapidly spreading TO his own states
neighboring state east of the Ohio
river. West Virginians grow stronger
daily In the belief that he will be the
Republican nominee next year. West
Nirginians think well Of not only his
state but Of him as well. The West
Virginia Republican press is particu-
larly strong in advocacy OF his nomi-
nation and IT is a noteworthy fact that
this advocacy comes in voluntary man
ner. there having been no organized
effort thus far in his behalf in this
state
Several Republican newspapers in
this state voice the opinion that were
the statewide primary TO be held at
this time. the presidential preference
would be given Senator Burton by
overwhelming plurality. and unless
something unforeseen happens before
next summer. when the primary will
be held. the Ohio "favorite son" will
assuredly sweep this state.

Europe will readjust her trade
relations after the war. This re-
adjustment already is foreshad-
owed in outline.
From London and Paris and
Rome come vague suggestions OF
an economic alliance on the part
OF the Allies. From Berlin comes
a definite program. Victor or van
pushed. or neither. as the case
may be. Germany is taking meth
odical thought OF the tomorrow
of her trade and industries. The
German official mind is at work
on the project OF an economic
union with Austria-Hungary. an
other demonstration OF Teutonic
preparedness.
The basis OF the commercial
intercourse among the present
belligerents previous TO the war
was. with the exception of Eng
land. the double tariff in some
form. France followed the plan
of two schedules. maximum and
minimum. for most articles. Ger
many depended on a maximum.
or fighting. schedule known as
the general tariff. with a working
tariff OF conventional rates as
provided in special commercial
treaties. Spain. Portugal. Greece
and Norway. with some modifica-
lions, adhered to the French plan.
Italy. Austria-Hungary. Russia
and the other continental coun-
tries. including the Balkan States.

The French scheme is more
elastic. but the German practice
has more strategic value. since
there is only one set OF duties.
the general or maximum. which
is known. and this is the ground
work for procuring and granting
tariff concessions.
Different national motives were
back OF the two systems when
they were devised. With France
the defense of home production
against foreign competition was
the guiding purpose. and the ex-
pansion of exports a secondary
one. Her export commodities be-
ing largely specialties. not man.
ufactured by other countries,
France did not require many con-
cessions in order TO open up for
eign markets to them
Germany. on the other hand. I'M
der her marvellous industrial state

able safety from foreign compe-
tition in the home market. Her
national aim was the expansion OF
exports. Hence the series of com
mercial treaties. the result of pa
tent and comprehensive investi-
cation by competent experts,
which enabled her TO get what she
wanted in foreign markets and
nullifed any adverse effect OF the
favored nation clause. under
which. by the European interpreta-
ton. concessions made to one
country apply automatically TO
other countries having similar
treaties.

points out these discrepancies in an
admirable manner. What. for ex-
ample. IL says. Is the use OF talking
about a collection OF equal republics
when Mr. Wilson himself Is going TO
ask the Senate TO ratify an American
protectorate over Haiti? And grant
ing all that the love OF liberty in
Mexico will endure. did Mr. Wilson
mean to convey to the less stable re-
publics south Of US that Pan-AmerL
canism guarantees them forever
against Intervention?
II then declares that the effect Of
such a foreign policy is 20 make tho
United States responsible for the in
tegrity OF the American republics. but
will not permit it to interfere in their
domestic affairs. Obviously this is a
programme OF blindness. for It is
potently true at The Republic says:

flexible by readjustment in ad-
ministration. Germany, following
the bent OF her national genius.
wanted precision and certainty in
the tariff rates OF the countries
whose markets she sought, as well
as in those she accorded to other
countries. and she provided this
certainty by her commercial con
Ventions running for a definite
period.
How will the outcome OF the
war affect the tariff policies OF
the countries engaged in IL?
Unquestionably. the future
trade of the belligerents will be
influenced by the national ami
mosities that will long survive the
war itself. Yet there must be in
ternational business intercourse
among hostile peoples when they
are not actually at war. No pa
triotic motives. and no artificial
system. can restrict entirely to
themselves the trade of the pres
ent Allies. No elaborate applica-
ton of German method can make
the markets of Central Europe.
and beyond the Danube, sufficient
for the industrial and CONNER
cial needs OF the central powers
and their dependent allies. Yet
in the beginning of the peace pc
Fiod these economic alliances are
certain to be attempted, and their
effect will be felt for years.
Geographically. the advantage
lies with the central powers. Ii
is much more easy to establish a
zollverein. or close commercial
union. where there Is proximity,
as there is with Germany, Aus
tria- Hungary. and Bulgaria, than
where the parties TO an economic
alliance are separated. as are
England and Italy and France and
Russia. Moreover, Germany's
clever commercial diplomacy in
defeat or in victory. or in an In
ternational compromise, with all
the belligerents exhausted, will
be ready for the situation. The
Allies also may be ready, since
they have learned the lesson OF
military preparedness, and now
appreciate the value of CONNER
cial preparedness.
The United States has a deem
interest in the proposed economic
alliances. and in the manner in
which they may be carried out.
Neither set of belligerents love
us, when II comes TO selling goods
in competition with them in neu-
trail markets, or to them in COM
petition with their own goods IN
their own markets, notwithstand-
ing the deep protestations Of sen
timental affection that may be
made while the war lasts. Inter
national trade is unsentimental.
The United States will be af-
fected both in its European mar
ket and In neutral markets by the
readjustment of the trade rela-
lions of the European countries.
The degree TO which Il gains OF
loses VIII depend on the degree
OF readiness which is shown to
meet the new situation.
