THE NEW CONGRESS

The new Congress which goes into
commission on March is not likely
to be as subservient to the White
House as the present body. which, al
though at times showed signs Of re-
voting under Presidential dictation.
always submitted TO orders. The
President has been quoted as threat
ening to appeal 20 the new Congress
IL his ship bill does not get through
this session. II he is the clear-sight-
ed man he Processes to be he will
hesitate a long time before he calls
the body into a special session. There
are many reasons why he will not
fare as well as he has been doing.
In the FIRST place. the new leader Of
the House. the Hon. Claude Kitchin,
Of North Carolina. who takes the place
OF Mr.. Underwood. who goes to the
Senate. is unalterably opposed to the
ship purchasing bill. and has made
no bones about letting the President
know OF his position. Mr.. Kitchin Is a
hiutu ihoIN utNtTuhutu ana IN some
respects. a much more forceful char
acter than the translated leader OF the
House.
Another reason that ought to make
the President reflect about using his
dictatorisl tactics with the new Con-
gress is that the Democratic party
hasn't any more majority in the House
than IL knows what to do with. and
that the character Of the membership
has been considerably freshened with
new faces. These members have been
at home all the time with tho people,
and they know the spirit that per.
vades the country. and what the mis-
taken policies OF the President have
done Only few Of these votes sub
tracted from the majority party would
b. able to turn the day against any
measure the White House might try
to force down their throats. II be-
hooves the President. under these cir.
cumstances, to play the low pedal and
step softly.

As TO EXTRA SESSIONS

The Democratic press Il throwing
up its hands in mock horror over the
prospect Of an extra session q the
present legislature. and recur TO the
good old Democratic. times OF sim
Dlicity and economy when the ieEis-
lators found the s5-day limit ample to
transact all the business before them
and indulge In relaxing diversions be-
sides. In the good old Democratic
times. IL Il true. the legislature did
not have much TO do. but what little
was done was done badly. as subse-
ouent events proved when the party
banded over It's batch OF deficits for
the Republican party to provide for
The State was quite young then. and
the legislature had only i've or six
public institutions to administer to in
stead Of from twelve 10 fifteen that
are now under the care OF the state.
Everything has expanded since the
Democracy ruled. and with the growth
OF the State its demands and business
have swelled in proportion
II an extra session Is required TO
complete important legislation that
could not be considered within the
constitutional limits OF the regular
session. IL will be called. and win be
worth all II costs. The Democratic
press ought TO have hesitated before
It tried to bait their Republican con-
temporaries on the question OF extra
sessions. The people have not forgot
ten. II they have. the extra session OF
1889. which sat for sixty days to &C
complish its infamous achievement OF
robbing General Coz OF the governor
ship. TO which he had been duly elect
ed. This one Democratic extra ses-
sion cost the State more than all the
extra sessions held by the Republi-
cans.

IT WAS S5OOON0

An error crept into The Intelligen.
GERS editorial yesterday morning on
the amended workmen's compensation
act, in stating that "the general in.
dustries OF the State during the past
two years have paid nearly S5O.OOc
for the purpose OF meeting the casu
atty charges incurred in the mining
industry" The figures should have
read 100000. And this is the fact
that in two years the deficiency in
the State fund owing to the coal com.
panies casualty charges has amounted
to the enormous sum OF half a miIlio>
dollars. The glaring inequity Of the
case is that the other industries and
employers have been compelled ia
make up this deficiency on the part OF
the mining industry The unfairness
and injustice Of such condition OF
affairs are too obvious TO be success
fully combatted.

HOW THINGS HAPPEN

IL 10 perhaps unfortunate for Judge
A. @. Dayton that just at n time when
he In assailec on serious charges AZ.
fecting his judicial integrity and i'm.
Partially. a creation OF his court
should be responsible for proceedings
such as have taken place in the Man
ufacturers' Light 4 Heat hearing.
One OF the grave charges against
Judge Dayton is that his court has
continually and regularly shown too
much Partially to corporate interests.
and particularly to large corporate
employers OF labor. Whether this is
true or not. II is undeniable that a
widespread impression to that effect
has been created. not only In the
minds Of labor leaders. but of others
having no direct interest in labor con.
troversies.
The proceedings in the Manufactur-
lers' Light a Heat case have not served
10 weaken in the slightest degree this
impression that the Federal Court in
MI Us operations is excessively ten
der towards corporate interests and
corporate wealth. In the exercise OF
HIS judicial discretion. the master in
this case has thrown down all bars,
practically. and allowed the introduc.
ton OF a large mass OF gossip, hear.
say and irrelevant testimony. all of
which has been scattered broadcast
over the State for the apparent pur-
pose Of assailing the chief executive
of the State. There are abundant
signs that this proceeding has already
reacted on the men responsible for
Il, while the animus of the proceeding
strengthens an already widely spread
impression In regard to the Federal
Court. Its oficers and appointees.

DELAYED ACTION

For some reason or other the House
Of Delegates has failed to take action
on the county depository lar passed
By the Senate. This Is somewhat sur.
prising In view Of the progressive
spirit that distinguishes that body.
This Is a law Of particular benefit 10
tho various counties and the State. and
an act that is supported b. the unani-
nous voice Of the people. and the
House cannot AFFORD to rest under the
suspicion OF tagging In this matter.
Il is up TO the Republican leaders to
get busy. II they have MOI taken meas.
ures TO push Il through. II will not
do 70 have this measure 20 By de-
fault at this session when the people
have been led 10 believe that 20 was
40 much az an accomplished fact
when Il passed the Senate. Up 10
last night. however. there was no evi.
dence OF consideration Of the bin By
the House. Further delay In this case
is dangerous

and are out OF work now or on re-
duced pay to-day. They naturally as
sociate the two and cannot be con-
WINGED that their conclusions are
wrong. You can 20 down South and
take the railroads and throw them
into the Gulf and the people there

ct. but you cannot 20 into Ohio and
injure the manufacturing industries
and get the people to stand by you. e"
This is pretty strong language com.
ing from a Democrat. but It is what
many OF the caucus driven party
members know but do not want 10 rec.
ognize. It is a statement OF the con-
crete truth. which no Democrat can
get away from. II the South was not
so tradition ridden Il would break
away from its false position. II IL a
section that has solidly voted against
protection. policy that has been its
Industrial and commercial salvation.
II has been saved in spite OF itself by
Republican tariffs.

Illuminating speech on the tarim ques-
ton in the House Of Representatives.

pleasant truths. Re said IL was I'D TO

industries engaged In supplying
electrical appliances TO the eoun-
tries OF the world that yet remain
neutral.
Italy has important electrical
industries. She has excellent
shipping facilities and an estab-
lished trade with South America.
In these circumstances she natur-
ally might expect 10 get come OF
the business In electrical supplies
heretofore controlled by Germany
and Belgium. But II the English
contention were 20 be admitted
she could not have raw copper to
provide for an enlarged output OF
her electrical industries. In the
menatime. similar industries in
The United KINGDOM would be en-
larging their market in south
America
The dag after the war was de-
elared the Board OF Trade OF the
British Government cabled in
structions TO England's consuls In
South America to report on the
opportunities for British manu-
factures TO secure trade previous
~ held by the Germans. The for
eign Intelligence department OF
the Board OF Trade. partly by
newspaper publicity, but more
largely through confidential cIrcu-
lars, since then has kept the
manufacturers fully informed.
. Stricken Belgium also had a
considerable South American
trade In certain manufactured ar
ticles. II Is not OF record that
the British have refrained from
absorbing what they could OF this
business. or OF holding Il as trus-
tees until industrial Belgium rises
and again takes hAr place among
trading nations.
Boastful statistics OF the in
crease I'm our foreign trade may
furnish a legitimate weapon for
the British Foreign Office in its
diplomatic rejoiner to the Ameri-
can note. But the principle I'M
DERIVING the rights Of neutral
commerce 70 which the United
States contends is not thereby
fiected.
Analysis Of the phenomenal"
improvement. so called, in our
exports shows that IL IL is in war
munitions and foodstuffs. The food
stuffs exported means that cost OF
living is likely TO increase. The
sale OF war munitions. including
automobiles. which furnish so
large a proportion of the exports,
Is no compensation tor the loss in
the sale OF agricultural imple-
ments. This loss is one OF the in
eyitable Incidents OF war. but IL
emphasizes the importance of the
United States keeping in mind
normal and permanent foreign
markets as they may be affected
after the war by the measures OF
the belligerents which interfere
with neutral trade during the war.
This Is one OF the fundamental
points which Is obscured in Sir
Edward Grey's diplomatic notes.
Statistics OF war trade should be
examined and considered in this
light as well as with reference to
the temporary volume of exuorts
in given articles.

Sir Edward Grey Il a MISTER
hand Al diplomatic dialectics.
The gentle art OF avoiding the
main issue Is one Of the accom-
plishments OF professionel diplo-
macy, and the British Foreign
Minister In his concillatory pre-
liminary designations gave an in
~7ti0n ~ the perfection 10 which
II may be brought. Tht the same
lane % arEumea1 by avoidance

quent correspondence could safe
~ be presumed
Diplomatic dialeties. however.
cannot obscure fundamental cir
cumstances. The main issue be-
tween the United States and
Great Britain Is the rights OF
neutral commerce. II Is not a
question OF statistics-for these
rights are not TO be measured
with war figures as the only
standard. II Is proper In determ-
ming them that temporary inter
ruptions TO trade should be con
sidered. but there should also be
consideration OF permanent gains
which a bellieerent may make.
not only from the enemy but from
neutral countries. II its practice is
allowed to go unchallenged.
President Wilson. In vigorously
maintaining through the state De-
partment the rights Of American
exporters. stands for all neutrals
An arrogant attitude would run
counter TO the sentiment OF the
American people. An attitude OF
humility and OF excuses for the
transgressions of certain belliger-
ents would be equally obnoxious.
The proper American position Is
that OF the champion. and not
the apologist. OF neutral COM
merce. The more directly the
President goes to the heart Of the
question the stronger will be the
disposition to uphold him.
Copper formed one OF the lead
ing topics In the preliminary ex-
change OF diplomatic notes. In
cidentally, Il may be observed
that while the correspondence has
been going on the American
whose copper was seized by the
British Government have been I'M
able TO get back their property.
Copper is n further illustration
of the degree to which a belliger-
ent may possess itself through in
direct menas of permanent for
eign markets n Great Britain's
practice should be acquiesced in
by neutral nations. This practice
II unchecked. would give the cleo
trical industries of the United
Kingdom an advantage. not only
during the war. but after the war.
From the presentation OF the
British case, and the assumption
OF the right to determine the guam
titles OF materials which neutral
countries may import. II would
not be diclosed that British manu-
facturers are securing a decided
advantage by a practice which
compels the copper mines OF the
United States to depend on the
Allies for the absorption of their
product. This would mean COP
per to the British manufacturers
at their own prices. and copper
