SENATOR LEWIS FINANCES

Senator Lewis is in a curious DO
sition regarding the war loan. He be-
gins by showing to his own satisfac-
tion at least that this country can't
possibly spare a billion dollars in
the form of a loan to Europe, and
he winds up by recommending that
the billion be loaned to South
America.
He is afraid the money loaned to
Europe will never get back to US;
ard yet it is plain enough that, 60
ing to Europe, it would be on better
security than could be had from
South America, even if South Amer
lea wanted any such sum, which it
doesn't. Going to Europe, it finances
business that is in existence, oper-
ations actually in progress, demands
actually pressing at this moment.
Going to South America, it would
be used to finance South Americas
miscellaneous needs, and it would be
impossible to be assured that it
would be spent in this country.
But that is not the worst of it.
The Senator assumes that we are
going to bundle up a billion of gold
and haul it off to England and
France. Nothing of the kind. No
body imagines that we will send
gold away; we will merely accept
securities from Europe, that will
enable it to continue buying here
without utterly denuding itself of
gold with which to pay cash. 1t is
a simple question whether. we will
extend accommodations to our Gus
toners when they need them, or let
our business with them 90 to wreck.
Senator Lewis attempt to draw a
parallel between the panics of 1873
and 1893, on one side, and the pos
sible results of this loan, is rather
The Washington times., 1915-09-17

ludicrous. In 1873 and 1893 this
country was called upon to pay back
to Europe good deal of money
borrowed there in period of infia-
ton, and invested here in, enter
prises that could not meet their
charges. Europe wanted us to pay
our debts, and so did every creditor
in this country want his debtors to
pay; and crisis resulted. The truth
is that the panics of 1873 and 1898
were more nearly akin to the thing
that will happen If the present loan
to Europe shall not be made. It is
in effect an extension of accommo-
dations to our own business, on Sc
curity furnished by England and
France. We have ample means to
grant the accommodation. We are
asked to give it to countries that for
generations have had confidence
enough in us to do the like thing
for us.
The Washington times., 1915-09-17
VEGETABLE WASTE PRODUCTS

The eloquent maledictions which
Charles Dudley Warner in my
Summer in Garden" uttered
against pusley. have found ready
echo on the tongues Of amateur
gardeners. Now a thrifty Belgian
woman whom the disaster of war
has brought to serve as cook in an
American kitchen is teaching US
that this maligned weed may be
boiled and seasoned so that it is an
appetizing substitute for spinach.
From the same source we learn
that both the delicate lady's sorrel
and the more succulent variety of
sorrel children love to nibble, which
grow abundantly in garden corners
and lanes and pastures where the
soil is sandy, make delicious salad.
Another waste product, one hith-
erto devoted to the consumption of
pigs, can now bring richer revenue
to the pockets of farmers. Pea pods
have recently been found to be
better for the production Of alcohol
than anything else except grain. A
gallon of alcohol, 98.12 per cent
pure, can be distilled from about
fifty pounds of pods. With pods
selling at the canneries for a dollal
ton and with $50 tons Of pods
furnished by one concern alone in
western New York State last year
there promises to be a large profit
for some enterprising manufacture,
of alcohol.
The pea pod product meets the
approval of farmers wives. Though
in most respects exactly like that
from pure grain, it cannot be taken
internally.
The Washington times., 1915-09-17
LABOR AND THE MILITIA

a more sane, patriotic or practi-
cal movement has never been started
BY organized labor-among all the
sane, patriotic, and practical move
ments that have 50 originated in
the past-than that initiated by the
adoption by the Maryland and Dis
trict OF Columbia Federation of La
Dor IN this city yesterday of the
resolution for cooperation between
its members and organized militia
OF Maryland and the District.
The attitude of labor toward the
militia in the past has been hos
tile. There was more or less rea-
son for this, but it was largely gov
erned by sentiment and with verv
little ground. Labor, however, was
not alone in its attitude toward the
militia, though more honest about
it than citizens who have belittled
and ridiculed the organization.
The history of the country proves
that the militia should be it's great
est asset in national peril. Yet in
efficiency is due to lack of support
and to ridicule by comfortable citi-
zens.
The attitude adopted by the Mary
land and District Federation will do
far more to put the militia on a
sound basis, to give it the army of
men trained in industries of great
value of military organizations. The
only way in which the United States
can escape the maintenance of a
large standing army lies in building
up a second line of defense in the
militia. This is not theory, it is
an actual situation, to be faced
squarely. Labor, realizing these
facts, now comes out in favor of
trained national defense. It puts
aside its prejudices and announces
itself ready to help. Surely moth
ing could be a stronger evidence of
practical, honest, and helpful
patriotism.

OUR coNFIscATED EXPORTS

The American people will not
grow excited over the decision Of
the British prize court confiscating
cargoes Of American products car
ried in Norwegian vessels and said
to be valued at $15,000,000. The
American people have no more
doubt than the presiding Judge of
the prize court that these supplies
were not really intended for Copen-
hagen, were not intended for any
neutral country or for any peaceful
purpose, but for use in Germany.
The American people want their
goods sold abroad wherever they
have the right to go under the rules
Of war. They don't want unwar-
ranted interference with their for
eign commerce by British cruisers
any more than by German subma-
rines. But the American people will
never deliberately blind their eyes
to the statistics Of our enormously
increased exports to the countries
next door to Germany.
It happens that at this very mo-
ment there are made public the COM
parative figures of exports from
New York for thirteen months since
the war and thirteen months before
it. In the thirteen months following
the outbreak Of the war our former
exports to Norway were more than
multiplied by three, increasing from
Sc, 6,940,sO2 to $22,173,s8s.
Our exports to Sweden were null
tiplied by nearly six, increasing
from $6,394,240 to $36,996, ,72O.
Our exports to Denmark-where
those confiscated shipments were
bound-were multiplied by about
seven, increasing from $6,7SO,s14 to
$45,122,214.
1t is striking coincidence that
while in thirteen months exports
from New York to Norway, Sweden,
and Denmark were increasing 1884,
226, 1865, in the same thirteen months
exports from New York to Germany
were decreasing $s4,91s,0s1.
The judge making the decision Of
the prize court calls attention to the
circumstance that in three weeks
after the outbreak Of the war the
expectation of lard to Copenhagen
by one American company alone was
twenty times more than in periods
Of peace. But our own official fig
ures don't leave much that needs
explanation by prize court judges
or by anybody.

BEGIN SHAKESPEARE
CELEBRATION PLAN
Players Club and Drama
League Join in Program for
Civic Fete.

NEW YORK. Sept. 17.-Ela borate
plans for a big civic celebration Of the
3o0th anniversary Of the death OF
Shakespeare. to be held next May, are
being formulated by a committee rep
resenting the Players Club. of New
York, and the Drama League of Afneri-
ca. Immediate steps will be taken 10
raise a fund of 100000, chiefly by pub
lie subscription, in order to bring the
scheme to complete fruition.
Mary Porter Beeglc. of Barnard Col
lege. Is chairman of the executive ccm-
mittee, which will attend to the details
of the affair, while the artistic end is
in the hands of Howard Kyle, of the
Players. Incorporation papers will soon
be asked by the committee under the
name OF the Shakespeare Celebration,
Incorporated.
The Players Club, as an organizat ton.
Tor the tirst time in its history will
actually appear in an entertainment.
The members have undertaken to sup
ply the complete program tor the sew
eral days celebration. Performances.
isohn. will be held in the Lewisohn
Stadium. in the College of the City of
New York. Additional performances
may be given in Brooklyn.
Shakespeare death Is generally be-
lieved to have occurred April 70. 1916,
but. inasmuch as Easter Sunday falls
upon that date next year and more
especially because the weather CT MAY
is much more dependable than that or
April, 1t was considered better to hold
the celebration in the later month.
