The United States and Haiti.

Experience has proved that only
through the establishment by
major power of treaty rights of finan-
cial supervision can the affairs of
such country as Haiti be brought
under regulation. In Santo Domingo
the United States has been able to re-
duce the former turbulence to COM
paratively stable state of order, in
consequence OF the exercise OF this
supervisory authority In Haiti it is
now hoped to establish the same re-
lationship and to bring about con-
dition of stability No one will ques-
ton the desirability of such a result.
The recent disorders in the republic
have shocked civilization and call
for intervention by friendly and
mona ggressive power to prevent
further horrors. adding to the long
record of bloody treacheries and
revolutions constituting Haiti's ma
tionai history. In seeking such a re-
lationship the United States is not
animated by any territorial aspira-
lions. 1t does not want Haiti. 1t
has troubles at home and elsewhere
in its island dependencies without
wishing to embrace more in the shape
OF Haitian sponsorship. But it
owes duty to humanity which cam
not be ignored. 1t is willing to un-
dertake mild and benevolent super
vision of finances and thereby to
exercise moderate degree of con-
troll over the republics politi-
cal activities, leaving to the peo-
pie the freest range of action COM
patible with stability of government
and the rights of human life As
suredly what has been undertaken in
Santo Domingo. with such satisfac-
tory results for the people of that
country. should be undertaken as well
in Haiti, which is more urgently in
need of restraint and guidance.

The Arabic.

This country will anxiously hope
that the assurance by German au-
thority that the next communication
from Berlin on the sinking of the
Arabic will be OF a character salts
factory to the United States is
founded on fact, for nothing can be
further from our desire than a
widening of the breach between the
two countries.
1t is desirable therefore, to con-
slider what the nature OF the COM
munication must be to permit its
being described as OF d satisfactory
character.
The government OF the United
States has informed the German gov
eminent that it regards the sinking
without warning of merchant vessels
not resisting or seeking to escape
as contrary TO international: Jaw anG
abhorrent to humanity and has form

1t Will be observed that the crime
denounced is the sinking Of the I'M

without proper warning: the TACT

The offense, in the view OF this
government is in the act itself, and
to be satisfactory a communication
relating to the Arabic must be based
on a denial that the vessel was tor
pedoed in the circumstances detailed
by the survivors or a reputation of
the guilty submarine commander.

Intercorporation Relations.

Important results may follow from
the inquiry concluded today whereby
the public utilities commission seeks
to learn the relation between the Po-
tomac Electric Power Company and
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company. The public interest is
chiefly in the question of the rates
charged for electric current for pri-
vate consumption. An impression
prevails that the local rates are al
together too high. So far as COM
parsons with other cities have gone
this impression appears to be decided
ly we'll justified.
If the present rates are affected in
any degree by the relationship ex-
listing between the two corporations,
the public is concerned in the disco
luton of those relations. If, as al
legged, the dividends of the traction
company are paid chiefly out of the

Cloture.

/ Nothing has been said lately and
nothing more should be said at pres
ent or soon. in advocacy OF cloture
for the Senate. Ii the friends OF the
proposition are less eager than when
Congress adjourned in March they
are in an improved state of mind.
Let us hope they are.
: Two things gave to the subject of
cloturc lively interest in the closing
days OF the last Congress-the recast-
ing by large reductions OF the river
and harbor bill and the defeat out
right OF the ship purchase bill. Full
and free debate in the Senate did the
business for both of those measures.
and the friends Of both felt deeply
aggrieved. With no other means of
resentment. they turned at once to
cloture, and announced purpose to
inaugurate the next session by a con-
test for a change OF rules
Since then public affairs have taken
on for this country very grave as
pect. Europe is still at war, and as
nation we are gravely concerned
over the developments. Our connec-
tons across the Atlantic are strained
in several particulars. The situation
in Mexico is darkening all the time.
and if i'll the end we are forced to
intervene our job may be one of the
most ditticl1t we have ever under
taken.
All American questions have ac-
CURED increased difficulties by rea-
son of this new situation. The need
of an adequate national defense has
become acute We have little, but
should have good deal. In the ma
ture of merchant marine we have
nothing, and should have one of the
largest carrying fleets afoat. Our
revenues are running far behind, and
should be increased to meet large ex-
penditures. Our trust problem is new
in some large features, and should be
dealt with in the new form. Cap
tains OF industry have been trans
ferred from the black to the white
list. Crowns, not stripes, are recon-
mended for them now.
When the Senate begins work,
therefore, its card will be full. 1t
will have no time to devote to d
proposition which many senators re-
gard as revolutionary in scope and
possibilities, and on that account to
be resisted to the utmost, and which
they will resist if it is brought for
ward. Why not give all the time at
command under the rules as they ex-
list, and which in the past have pro-
duced SO many excellent results, to
problems most pressing and impossi-
bic Of postponement: Cloture can
wait, and should wait until a more
fitting time for discussion.

| earnings of the power company. it
! follows that the users of electric cur
rent are paying street railway profits,
| and that consequently there should
be some readjustment of the street
railway finances as we'll as the cleo
trio current rates.
If the street railway company is so
| overcapitalized that it cannot pay
its dividends from its own earnings
| there should be some revision of the
capital basis That, however, is a
question apart from the immediate
issue, which relates to the electric
lighting rates. The spectacle. partial
ly disclosed yesterday. of the trac-
ton company buying from the Poto-
mac company power at a lower rate
than is charged private consumers
and rescling it to other users
is not calculated to ease the public
feeling that there is something wrong.
Denial OF the public utilities COM
missions jurisdiction is not likely to
be effective in hating the procedure.
The act of Congress creating the
commission assuredly empowers it to
deal with the relationship between
public service corporations. as long
as it authorizes it to deal with the
corporations individually. A resist
ance OF the commission through
court appeals is i'll advised, as far as
the pubic feeling is concerned. A full
submission OF the case to the commits
sion. with the disclosure of all the
facts. is the wiser course.
