Business and the Future.

The meeting of the American Bank
ers' Association, held at Seattle, was
we'll attended and we'll conducted. 1t
brought together many men eminent
in the banking world; and among
the guests from outside that world
was former President Taft, whose
speech near the close of the meet
ing was full of the common sense
and optimism associated with his
name and public services He heart
ened his hearers. and. through the
press. the country at large.
We may all take comfort from the
difference in the situation as respects
banking business and all other kinds
of business between now and two
years ago.
When the Sixty-third Congress as
sembled. business, and particularly
big business, was very nervous and
on the black list. Muckrakers, and
politicians utilizing the output of
such, had for long been marrying the
whole business field. Threats with
out number had been made as to
punitive legislation by Congress revo-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-09-11

out, he will not rest the case of pre-
parednegs with his formal address
to Congress-, but follow that up with
the exercise of the influence of his
Office toward securing the legislation
he desire. That course provoked
much criticism, but it explained his
success with measures with which
he had identified himself. He did
not get all he wanted-notably the
ship purchase bill-but if he had
neglected those means, and rested on
his bare recommendations he might
not have got anything.
And out of this grows the ques-
ton as to whether the President
will be as influential with the new
as he proved himself with the old
Congress. The democratic majority
in the new House is mich smaller,
that in the Senate somewhat larger,
than in the old. The party lost
prestige last November. and partly
on the charge that Congress had
yielded too much to the Presidents
initiative and pull"
Patronage had something to do
with the Presidents power over the
Sixty-th:ird Congress; and his pa
tronage sack is no longer full. But
he is the leader of his party, and will
be its candidate again next year; and
war with him now by a democratic
Congress on such measure as the
national defense might prove expen-
sive when girding time comes against
the common opposition for control
of the country.

lutionizing everything in business

lutionizing everything in business
practices and results.
Things OF this nature were done.
The tariff was revised against the
interests of many lines of industry.
New trust legislation was enacted
which seemed discouraging, and did
make for confusion And while the
currency law corrected some evils,
it will bear amendment, and should
be amended, in several particulars
disclosed since it was put into opera
ton
Still, with all this, the Sixty-fourth
Congress will assemble with the cap
tains of industry-all kinds OF indus
try--in better heart, and in better
countenance with the country than
two years ago. There is no longer
talk about hanging men as high as
Haman; or of putting malefactors
of great wealth in stripes; or OF raz-
ing the customhouses level with
the ground. Instead there is a gen.
eral feeling that business should be
encouraged and not harried, and that
the country in these tick1ish times
produced by the war needs its bust
ness men and their business in its
business.
This is not to say that the Sixty
fourth Congress will have no prob
lens to solve of interest to bust
ness. Several such of Importance
are likely to come up. But they will
not be disposed of on the old basis
of prejudice. There is evidence that
the muckrakers and their political
pals have shot their bolt; that pub
lie sentiment has changed, and that
national legislators responding to it
will see more clearly and act more
justly.

The Arabic Note.

II * difficult to see how by any
possibility Germany can expect the
United States to accept its latest
note on submarine warfare. that re-
lating to the sinking of the Arabic,
as satisfactory. in view OF the three
American notes on the LusItanla and
also in view of the assurance gwen
TO this country recently by Count
Won Bcrnstorff that new policy re-
earding the destruction OF merchant
men had been adopted by his gov
ernment. This country has declared
plainly and repeatedly that merchant
ships must not be sunk without
warning if they do not resist or at
tempt to escape. The ambassador
here has assured this government
that Germany will not sink liners
in such circumstances, and 1t is to
be assumed until otherwise estab-
lished that by this Germany means
merchantmen. No other assumption
is possible, inasmuch as the Amer1-
can contention has unswervlngly
been that no non-combatant vessel
must be destroyed without sufficient
warning to permit the safe escape
OF all on board. 1t is scarcely con-
ceivab1e that Germany would expect
the United States to modify its prin-
ciple to the extent OF accepting I'M
munity for liners" alone. and to as
sumo that by liners" the German
ambassador, speaking for the govern
ment at Berlin. meant only regularly
routed passenger ships is to accuse
Germany of trifing with the good
sense and the fixed policy of the
United States.
The Arabic note from Berlin pre-
sents a new and further irritating is
sue. Is the submarine commander to
be the sole judge of the conditions
in which merchantmen may be tor
pedoed without warning? Is his re-
port to Berlin to be the exclusive
basis for a determination of the
IaCtS. AdH tHSIc DC uO uCinui l CT "
his conclusions, his differences from
the victim vessels course? Is the
case closed when he declares to Ber-
lin that he thought" the ship was
about to ram? Can Germany, on
the strength of such report, re-
use peremptorily all claims for re-
-'rcss. rendering only the extremely
''ubious alternative of an appeal to
,:'at now thoroughly disorganized in
Tuition, The Hague court OF inter-
national arbitration?
Germany has in effect in the Arabic
case put the whole question of sub
marine warfare upon the basis of her
own will and necessities. She seeks
to write new international law. Ac-
'ceptance of this note as satisfactory
would render the three American
notes on the Lusitania the merest
scraps of paper.
