THE VIEW OF MR.. HURLEY

Edward N. Hurley, vice chairman
of the Federal Trade Commission,
addressing a business audience in
New York, expressed with a good
deal of vigor the demand that the
uncertainties now hedging business
by reason of the antitrust law, be
removed. Mr.. Hurley insists es-
pecially that the foreign trade field
can never be attacked by Americans
on fair terms until they shall be able
to work In combination, as the busi-
ness men of other countries can do.
The antitrust law as it stands now
is merely means to force American
business to employ wasteful and un-
economic methods, without giving
any possible benefits in return. This
is true in the foreign field without
any qualification whatever. There
may be some justification for the re-
tention of the laws restrictions in
the domestic field, or some of them;
but no possible gain can result from
perpetuating the handicap under
which American exporters find them
selves. They need the privilege of
pooling their issues, dividing ex-
penses, selling through central
agencies, transporting in great
rather than small quantities, and the
like. The antitrust law at least
makes it very doubtful if they may
legally do these things. 1t ought to
be modified at least at this point.
If the nation is not ready to adopt
a sweeping reorganization of this
statute, applicable to domestic and
foreign trade alike, it certainly is
prepared to give assent to such
modification as shall carry the rule
of common sense into our foreign
trade campaign.

MR.. WILSON'S BOLD STROKE

President Wilson is 'oing to smoke
his Congress critics out Of their
ambush. They have threatened to
take the submarine question into
their own hands. They have boasted
that they had the votes, whenever
they wished to use them, to pass q
resolution warning American citi-
zens off armed merchantmen and re-
versing our Governments stand
against the position Of the Berlin
foreign office.
Now the President, with a sur
passing stroke, demands that the
Rules Committee of the House give
those men a chance to make good.
He reminds the acting chairman
that the words and attitude Of those
men have inspired the Berlin foreign
office to draw a grave issue with
the American Government and have
put the peaceful settlement of our
differences with the German gov
ernment at dangerous hazard.
If they have the votes and are
willing to use them against the Sc
curity, dignity, and honor of the
United States. he insists that they
come out into the open and so use
them. If they haven't the votes, or
IL they dare not stand up in the face
Of the indignant country and be-
counted, he commands that they be
exposed to national contempt.
In applying the torch to the covert
in which those Congress snipers
lurk President Wilson has done q
virile, courageous, and splendid thing
which will thrill the heart of every
American citizen with red blood IN
his veins and loyalty in his soul.

1AUTO-TRANsPoRT OF AUTOS

There are some acute problems in
the developing automobile business
One hasto do with secondhand cars,
which clutter up the establishments
of many dealers who have taken
them "in trade" and, because Of the
falling prices of new cars, have in
creasing difficulty getting rid OF
them.
Then there is the difficulty about
gasolene. 1t isn't altogether ques-
ton of price, according to some ad-
visers; the public couldn't get all
the gasolene it is going to want in
the next two or three years, at dol
lar a gallon, if it were willing to
pay such a price; the gasolene, ac-
cording to pessimistic students OF
conditions, couldn't be produced at
any price.
All very interesting-and worri-
some-but it doesn't interfere with
anybody buying a motor car; mol
with everybody buying one. There
never was such a production, never
such a demand, never half so much
trouble getting the cars delivered as
today. The railroads, already con.
gested, can't get automobiles
through in time to fill orders; and il
is announced that some of the mid,
Western manufacturers have decided
to send cars to Eastern markets
overland; put a good chauffeur ir
charge and run the machine from
Detroit to New York, there deliver,
ing it with a certificate of character
based on it's performance.
The other day trainload of cars
left Detroit, loaded on flatcars. Box
cars were not to be had, and the
autos must be moved. 1t would
seem that the plan of running the
car itself should be quite as salts
factory.
The Washington times., 1916-03-01

on the basis Of experience, that the
war-fever Is bound to break out
once generation in every people. It
is not easy to believe that the fright
fulness Of It will deter the new gen.
GRAFTON, which has not known and
seen and suffered. Rather, the new
generation, taking pride and repos-
ing confidence in the yet more effec-
tive instruments of destruction that
it will have perfected, will be the
more disposed to try them out. There
are. certain peoples, In every geper-
alton, that regard conquest as their
destined part. We see the German
nation now working out what it
genuinely believes to be its des-
tiny; performing what it strangely
considers its duty to the world and
to civilization. Revolutionary France
was inspired by like strange de-
lusion; it was going to shoot the
new-found principles Of liberty, fra
ternity, equality into all mankind.
SO it is without the lessons of his
tory to assume that war will ever be
made so destructive that there will
be none to drag the world into 1t. II
that be true, it would seem that eff
forts at amelioration Of its horrors
should continue; that the general
body Of human sentiments which we
refer to as international law should
be developed in the direction of more
humane methods.
The submarine is in many ways
the foremost Of all the weapons Of
sheer frightfulness. Shall it be
curbed at all, or shall it be turned
loose to wreak all the destruction Of
which it is capable?
We may as we'll understand that il
the bit and bride of humanitarian
sentiment is taken off the submarine,
there will be small chance to save
any of the traditions of chivalry on
the field. Asphyxiating gas will be
made legal and legitimate. Present.
ly we shall see water supplies poi
soned, and. more powerful aircraft
hurling destruction from the heavens
upon defenseless cities beneath, with
none to enter protest. There is no
guessing the extent to which such
horrors may be carried, when the
knowledge and science of this gener-
alton, and the next, and the next af-
ter that, shall have been devoted
without restraint to devising means
of devastation, for employment to
the last limit of their capacity for
ruin.
This is the question that depends
on the United States action and at
titude in the new submarine situa-
ton. If America yields now, if the
rule of supreme horror is to be ac-
cepted as the rule of the future,
there will be no limit that we may
now conjecture. Let it be realized
that this is what is involved in the
issue that today approaches its cli-

Criticises Tavenner and Ford For
Activities Against Navy League.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Mr.. Henry Ford has seen fit in certain
advertisements going out over his sig
nature, to quote charges made oy
Clyde III. Tavenner. a member of Con-
gress. against the Navy League. These
| charges are to the effect that the Navy
League is supported. and its activities
dominated by munitions makers"
As sample OF the inaccuracy OF Mr..
Tavenner's statement, he gives an aI-
legged list OF the founders OF the NAVY
League, some nineteen In number. But
one OF these names was actually a foup-
der OF the league
Mr.. Tavenner says he has tried to in
vestigate the activities OF the league.
and that the league has not responded
or afforded an opportunity for such In
vestigation. lie also charges that the
Navy League has never refuted' nis
| statements
The Navy League has no desire to
answer Mr.. Ford, but II resents the pub.
| ncation by Mr.. Ford OF these charges
without proper substa ntiation by hini-
seiL The Navy League has written
letter to Mr.. Ford which has already
been made public, warning Him that Mr..
| TaVenner did not show evidence OF be-
Ing disinterested person in this mat
ter, and showing that Mr.. Tavenner was
| itduy " encourage prepared
ness, provided his own pet phase OF il.
namely. an ammunitions plant in mis-
district and the enlargem snt OF the Rock
] Island arsenal. we're supported by the
, Navy League.
As to the Navy Leagues not having
refuted Mr.. Tavenner's accusations, this
is absolutely incorrect. Not only before
| Mr.. Tavenners speech Of December rs
were these accusations openly disproved
and refuted by Colonel Thompson, pres
ident Of the league. and It's secretary IL.
letters made public through the press,
but also on a number of occasions since
the league has shown the sbsurdlty and
| impropriety of the accusations made by
| Mr.. Tavenner As to investigation. the
league invites the fullest investigation.
Its books are open and always have
been. The league will be glad to have
an Investigation. In fact, II was with
the full concurrence of the league that
Congressman A. p. Gardner introduced
a resolution calling for an investigation
OF the league. The league will be glad
TO have this resolution passed and the
investigation ordered.

THE NEW SUBMARINE WAR

This is the day on which subma-
rine warfare by the central powers
takes on it's newest and most bar
barous form. Armed merchant ships
of belligerents will be regarded and
treated as vessels of war, and sunk
on sight by the submarines without
examination, notice, or opportunity
for insuring the safety of passengers
or crew.
Perhaps this is an inevitable de-
velopment of modern conditions of
war. Perhaps frightfulness must af-
ter all be made the rule of war under
conditions in which new enginery
has made utter destructiveness pos
sible. There are not a few among
humanitarians who maintain that the
most effective way to end war is to
let it be made so awful that, once
recovered from its present mania,
the world will be determined to put
an end to war for all time.
But it is hard to believe that any
such desirable result can be achieved,
War has been growing more horrible
at least ever since gunpowder was
invented; and yet wars are merely
bigger, more businesslike, more truly
national in their character than they
ever were before. One generation
may, indeed, get its full of war in
one gigantic conflict; but that. is nc
guarantee that the next generation
will be satisfied to remain at peace
II seems, indeed, a pretty good rule,

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:

from questioning the advisability OF
maintaining a switching station on

siderably less as compared with those
marked Lincoln Park, -Anacostia, Thir-
tenth and d northeast. via Union Sta
ton" 1t, therefore. seems to me that
II would be marked Improvement to
have the switch placed on the south
side OF Fifth street northwest. in lieu
of on the north side. This would all

Hopes Congressman Mudd Is Sue

Enr Rnad

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
in The Washington Times OF February
21 is an article. headed "Mudd Asks
Military Road TO Annapolis" l am very
glad to see that our Congressman is
trying to get our Government to help
the, State of Maryland to construct the
highway from Bladensburg to Annapo-
lis, connecting our National Capital with
the Naval Academy.
4 we'll built road in time of war would
be of great strategic Importance. This
road, II constructed, should take the old
stage route from Bladensburg to An
napolis. passing through a splendid agri-
cultural section, and In a few years
where there is one house now there
would be ten to twelve. The large
farms would he divided and sold in
! road would increase in population Won
way would be OF immense good to both
farmers and truckers I'm getting their
products to market. Every dollar the
state of Maryland would spend In build
| ing this road would be soon refunded
| in increased taxes.
The proposed route would pass
through the upper part Of what is
known as the Forest OF Prince George
county, no better land in the county,
| and has been kept from being thickly
| settled on account OF bad roads. 1 sin
| ceTely hope Mr.. Mudd will be able to
get liberal appropriation through Con-
, gress to help our State to construct this
military highway.
