British Attitude Revealed

IF one seeks understanding of the fact that
l in this great American sympat thy,
while on the side of the allies, is extended in
larger proportion to France and Belgium
than TO England, he may find it in the tone
of the British memorandum the orders in
council, which made public Yesterday.
Read that memorandum and learn once for
all why Americans, despite identity of Ian
guage and racial and institutional relation
ships. find it so difficult to appreciate the
British official viewpoint
1t is the lofty cocksureness, the air Of con-
descension. of Notwithstanding little
brother. of patient endurance of an unde-
veloped mentality. OF calm assumption that as
soon as our palm is creased we ought to be
satisfied, that is so eXcruciatingly painful.
England doesn't even take the trouble TO
deny our assertion that her whole plan of
blockading neutral coast is unrighteous and
illegal. and that no seizure based on II can
be justified She simply announces her pur-
pose to continue plan of action that cannot
he defended.
There is. of course, the defense Of reprisal
according to which theory in its present APP
plication, if Jones hit Smith over the head
with baseball bat. Smith is justified in loot
ing Robnsons henhouse, because otherwise
Robinson might sell Jones some of the
chickens The British Foreign Office can ex-
pound this theory without cracking smile
winkng an eye.
We in this country don't like that sort of
thing, or people who seek to feed the
sort of soft soap that the latest memorandum
contains. We find that diet peculiarly UNI
pleasant, not to say indigcstible, and we
resent it,
The plain and undsputed fact is that for
attempting a blockade OF Holland. Denmark,
Norway and Sweden--which is what the or
ders in council and their Interpretation and
execution amount to-Britain has warrant
whatever in law or right. Interference with
American noncontraband trade, based this
illegal blockade, is without justification.
Special favors TO the United States neither
excuse nor pallate ii. We not ally
OF Great Britain, but neutral, and her as
sumption that we should abandon. at her
urging or suggestion, our indsputable rights
and those Of our citizens is insulting.
The controversy with Germany should be
adjusted in one way another before the
State Department seeks n final reckoning with
Great Britain, but when the earlier and more
serious difficulty is out of the way, London
should be informed just where this country
stands. President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing may be relied on to convey this in
formation to London in exact and unmistak-
able terms,

Condition of the Railroads

S242.336,7Sl for April. 1913. The decreas
in operating revenues in the past year has
been S4,500,000. which has been more than
offset by decrease in operating expenses of
$12,199,7e2. The increase in net operating
revenues between 1914 and 1915 was not due
to increased earnings, but TO decreased ex-
penditures
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway has
passed another dividend in order to devote
the earnings TO improvements. The Chcsa-

systems in the country. and its credit has
stood deservedly high in the past. AT pres

Hopes of continued peace grow brighter every
day. There has been no recent repetition Of
the crimes that stirred the world to resentful
horror.
If peace shall be maintained. the explana-
ton will lie in the iirmness of President
Wilson's attitude, which has permitted no
misconceptions and the support the President
has had from the American people. The
manner in which the nation received the
resignation Of Mr.. Bryan clearly evidenced
how completely he was out of step with popu-
lar sentiment. Berlin observed this also,
and in this aspect. because Berlin under
stands the people back the President, the
Bryan resignation may be said to have con-
tributed substantially to the preservation
of peace.
