SAY AMERICAN SUBMARINES MAY
8E MISTAKEN FOR THOSE
OF GERMANY.

London, Oct. l0.-The London af-
ternoon newspapers devoted leading
editorials tosthe visit of the German
submarines to the United States. The
Pail Mail Gazette says that in the
sinking of numerous ships of the
American coast the government and
people OF the United States have thus
had an intimate reminder OF the char
acter and habits of the craft which
had received their hospitality"
The Pail Mall Gazette summarizes
the entente allied note regarding the
treatment of submersibles and con
tinues:
THE entente allies have pointed
out in the most friendly spirit some
of the consequences which neutrals
cannot escape IL they lend the re-
sources of their ports to belligerent
submarines. II these German craft
are to ply their calling of American
ports we shall obviously establish a
counter patrol and our merchantmen
viii have to be alert TO destroy the
pirates whenever the opportunity Of
fers.
but in this kind of warfare there
is little time TO ascertain the nation
atty of submarine craft Theft hun
tiers have TO deal with them on sight.
and IL Is by no means improbable that
one OF Americas own submarines
straying into the danger zone might
inadvertently encounter the fate re-
served for 'boche.'
1T is a question for the American
government whether 1t wishes it's
Atlantic coast frequented by it's own
submarines or by those of Germany
1t is quite clear in the nature of
things there is not room for both"

To the Editor of The Evening Sun
Sir: The cause of labor S not
best served by a Democratic Tariff,
which forces American labor TO COM
pete with cheap European labor.
American markets hooded with Eu-
ropean made goods, discrimination
against American goods in the mar
kets of Europe" American labor

negative Democratic non-Protective
Tariff is advocated by American la
Dor men,
Railroad labor will be among the
first to suffer by determinations
against commerce with and in Amer
lea, yet il is most violent in attempt
ing to perpetuate the dangerous Dem
ocratic trade policies.
The issue to labor is not the
temporal shortening of a working
day, but rather the security of work
at wages consistent with American
standards. Has labor forgotten so
soon the conditions of unemployment
Immediately succeeding the Demo
cratic acquisition in 1914 and pre-
ceding the outbreak Of the Europe

American workingmen have forgot

than that. Just now. owing to war
export business they are quite gener-

orally employed when 10000, 900 Eu-
ropean soldiers stop fighting and go
back to the industries, and when
the products of those industries are
sent over to the United States in
enormous quantities? This is what
American workingmen should be
thinking OF when they vote this year.
The vital question for them TO con-

He kept us out of war;" presumably
the things Japan sent us were peace
products. Inasmuch as Japan Is in
a state of war, and is manufacturing
enormous quantities OF var mater
ial for Russia. it is fair 20 assume
that large percentage OF our exports
to her during 1916 consisted OF war
products. We cannot keep up our
war-order business with japan for
ever, but, under the present Tariff
law, Japan can increase the value
OF her peace expectation TO us. .

Japanese Colnneii,inn.

A hint of what may be expected
of Japan as an industrial competi-
tor in the markets of the world is to-
be found in a statement by Judge H..
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel Corporation. who has Just re-
turned from an extended visit to the
Orient. Judge Gary is quoted as say
ing:
The japanese are going along as
II there were no war. They have
taken up extensively the manufac-
lures that were stopped in the belig-
erent countries by the war. Japan
Is busy making clothing and shoes
and il becoming a great commercial
factor"
with an average wage scale not
more than one-eighth the American
wage scale. Japan is morally certain
TO become a great commercial fac
tor' Does any one doubt that this
country is going to need a Protec-,
tive Tarin to prevent Japan from
sending here great quantities of low
priced industrial products that win
take place of products of our own
labor and industry?

WHAT WOODROW WILSON REAL
LY THINKS OF LABOR.

Woodrow Wilson, candidate, is
suddenly posing as a great friend of
labor and a great believer in labor
unions.
Woodrow Wilson. before entering
national politics. held decided views
on the labor question which do not
square with his professions of to-
day.
Which Woodrow Wilson will Occu-
py the White House after the 4th OF
next March, if the electorate this
fall should confer upon him another
term as President? What would be
his attitude toward labor then. when
he had no further favors to ask OF
the voters?
The labor views of Woodrow Will
son, private citizen, are interesting,
On February %. 1905. at the Peo-
pies Forum in New Rochelle. New
York, Mr.. Wilson said:
Labor Unions reward the
shiftless and incompetent at
the expense of the able and in
dustrious.
At the same meeting he further
said:
The objections l have to la
Dor unions is that they drag the
highest man to the level Of the
lowest. l must demur with the
labor unions when they say.
You must award the dull the
same as you award those with
special gifts

Route Officially Recommended.

Brooks chief of the Alaska division of the United States geological survey Referring to the CordoVa route and the Berng coa they reported and recommended as follows:
 ''I is evident that the Cordova route the first invest ment will than the Seward route the resulting freight rates will be lower the terminal port offers better harbor than the Seward and the tributary coal field promises the earlier developments because its product can be marketed cheaper Each of these economic features points clearly to the advsabty of reaching the Panama valley via the valley of e Copper river and the commission therefore Recommends lthe construction of railway from Chitna to Fairbanks

 Therefore in extending line to the Bering coal the gov ernment may make the existing line far 1t It may purchase or condemn the 8 miles of track if considered preferable could condemn purchase the whole of the exist ing line.
 Bn it is not at all necessary to do either The law IS ample n compel the existing line to make traffic connection with any line the government may build to the coal upon reasonable terms and conditions be adjusted by the Interstate Con- merce Commission if necessary.
