FREIGHT RATES
TO HAWAII ARE
DEEMED too HIGH

That freight rates from eastern
points in the United States are lower
to Japan and China than to Honolulu
was a fact brought out Thursday aft
ernoon at the meeting of the board of
retail trades of the Chamber of Conn
meree, at which the principal discus
sion was on transcontinental and
.transpaciffc freight rates brought up
by a letter received from the Inter
state Commerce Commission request
ing the local body's aid in adjusting
the rates which are considered dis
eliminating against Honolulu.
The letter asked for a list Of the
imports and said that while the COM
mission had no Legal authority over
the steamship companies, 1t would use
its moral Influence in an endeayor to
bring about more equitable rates and
as result committee composed of
Ed Towse. e. A. Berndt and Raymond
c. Brown was formed to draw up a
report Berndt pointed out that the
difficulty was with the water carriers
and not with the railroads.
Another subject discussed was the
establishment of a telephone credit
exchange the purpose of which was
to enable merchants to learn the fin
ancial standing of prospective buy
er almost instantly.

Sans mails carry the circulars Of the

OBSTACLES IN WAY OF PEACE

Why Germany should desire peace
is plain from what the German chan
cellor calls "the military map" the
case of the allies is not so simple, and
its statement is not to be SO frank.
Officially we hear that the war must
go on till Belgium is restored and the
rights of the small nations vindicat-
led. Unofficially we are told that the
war must go on because the allies are
Just beginning to develop their full
strength, or because Germany's new
est offenses, such as the deportation
of the Belgians, call for exemplary
punishment. Some of the reasons
given for rejecting suggestions of
peace are no doubt genuine, but 9TH
ers appear strained, and certain i'm
portant reasons are passed over alto
gether
We hear little or nothing, for ex-
ample, of the obstacles to peace
which may arise out of agreements
between the allied nations. 1t is
known that they are pledged not to
make peace separately, but what fur
Their obligations have been incurred
is diplomatic secret. England, it is
true, is quite openly pledged to help
restore AlSace-Lorrain to France,
but have the western allies pledged
Constantinople to Russia? Secret
diplomacy may not only involve ma
lions in war, but may commit them to
promises which make the restoration
of peace more difficult, and when the
question of good faith seems to be
involved neutrals have to be discreet
in interfering.
That undertakings which would in
terfere with freedom to negotiate
peace may have been assumed is like
ly from the fact that self-interest is
the cement which holds a coalition
together. Whatever the rights or
wrongs of the war, it is simple mat
ter of fact that each of the belliger-
ents on either side is pursuing its
own aims and the terms on which
those aims are guaranteed by joint
pledges are only in part even to be
conjectured. If Russia, for example,
is loyal to pledge not to make peace
till Belgium is restored, how could
the western allies secure the restora-
ton of Belgium by compromises at
the expense of pledges to Russia If
such exist? This hypothetical case
illustrates the completely of the tan
gle which world war may bring
about.
But in regard to these obscure diff
ficulties we cannot expect frankness,
if only because the pledges or under
standings which create them are by
old custom a matter of secret diplo-
macy. Nor can we expect the allies
to humiliate themselves by pointing
to their persistent misfortunes, due
in part to their own plumbers or de-
fective team work, as a reason why
the war must 60 on. Yet it is plain
that even their disasters have played
into the hands OF the jingoes, who de-
early chance to negotiate for peace
sire war Ito the finish" To win an
on reasonably favorable terms they
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1916-12-15

should have given more heed to that
same military map" which Germany
has never for moment forgotten.
The history of the war from the
side of the allies is lamentable sue
cession of false moves and of delays
in making the necessary moves.
Again and again they have had to
face the problem of winning back
at great cost of life the treasure that
they should never have lost. What
is happening in Roumania is but
recapitulation of what has happened
again and again, till Germany is
gorged with spoils, and would gladly
throw away what is not needed in its
empire-building, for the sake of
avoiding the cost of protracted war
Whatever the underlying causes of
these mistakes, military and political,
their result is to increase the difficult
ty of negotiating peace. When
Serbia was crushed as a consequence
of the obtuseness irresolution or dis
agreement of its allies, a new pledge
was made, Serbia should be set right,
as we'll as Belgium. When Roumania
for like causes has suffered the like |
fate, no doubt like pledge in its be-
half will be made; the entente will |
not "sheathe the sword" till Rou-
mania, too, is set right. But while |
the allies may feel this as a moral
obligation, it obviously does not aid |
them in reaching point where they
can talk peace.
At peace conference "ubi possible
tis," which gives presumptive claim
to territory effectively occupied and
administered, is potent formula; at
no time since the war began have the
allies been in a position to negotiate |
on any such basis, and with each |
campaign their position in this re-
spect has grown worse. Germany
might be ready to give up Belgium
and keep Serbia and Roumania under
it's control. Or it might be ready to
keep Belgium and a slice of France,
and give up its winnings in the near
East. But to give up at both ends is
something which the German govern
ment does not contemplate and which
the German people would not toler
ate. In this country there seems to
be more or less prevalent feeling |
that If Belgium is set right, the rest
does not matter, and the possibility
of restoring Belgium by agreement |
now seems to be taken as sufficient
reason why the allies should regard
their ends as sufficiently attained. |
But this view may be due to a false |
perspective caused by the nearness of
the western front; to measure the
chances of an honorable peace the |
situation Of all the allied great pow
ers and their obligations to each 9TH
er and to their small neighbors who
have suffered in their behalf, must
be taken into the account. The |
groups which desire long war are
neglible in any Of the belligerent
countries, but the obstacles to pre-
sent peace negotiations may be more
serious and complicated than is gen.
orally realized in neutral. countries. |

MANY PEOPLE ENJOYED
THE NORMAL COURSE

The sale of tickets for the Normal
School Entertainment course has
commenced auspiciously. One man
writes: 81 have greatly enjoyed the
past courses and wish to congratu-
late you upon having secured the
great artists which have been dated
for this season. OF all the winter en-
joyments this course promises TO be
the best and most instructive" An
other person writes: 1--WE are GER
tainly grateful to our normal school
for giving us these fine entertain
ment courses" Such expressions of
approval are most gratifying TO the
management.
The first number on the course will
be the Philharmonic Orchestral club,
October II, an organization composed
of fourteen members of the Minnea-
polls Symphony orchestra, each one
a skilled musician. The leader, Carl
Scheurer, is the second violin of the
Minneapolis orchestra and has won
for himself many admirers on his
several trips to Mankato.
Miss Martha Cook, soprano, the
soloist, has never been heard in Man
kato before, though she has made for
herself reputation in the northwest.
