|" HEN the law extending the
w war taxes'' for a further
period Of peace passed congress, q
Washington paper announced the fact
in these words: "The Wilson admin
istration yesterday put the first patch
on its tattered fiscal situation"
This picturesque language is most
accurately descriptive. There has
been and there will be no intention,
at the White House or among the
democratic leaders in congress, to do
anything permanently affective for
the relief Of the treasury.
The free trade hulk is rotten and
unseaworthy even in calm weather. as
was well attested in the year prior to
the European war. In time of stress
the free trade craft becomes even
more dangerous.
Yet her captain and crew refuse to
have her remodeled. They will con-
tinue to put on patches which will
render the hulk more unsightly and
harder to manage, and which may or !
may not plug the leaks.
