tural effect of such legislation would
be TO make of the new financial ma

In view Of the perennial tempta-
tiOn which besets Congress to coax
the farm vote by special legislation,
it is doubtful if there is any occasion
Of superior excellence for enacting a
Federal rural credits law. Yet. If
one time is worse than another, the
eve of national political campaign
in Presidential year probably merits
the opprobrium of supreme unfit
ness.
A rural credits bill passed then is
likely to contain the maximum sum
of pernicious possibilities and the
minimum of real endeavor to serve
the benefit of the whole country. II
is likely TO promise just as much
government financial assistance to
the farmer as can be reconciled with
a decent regard for appearances and
contain proportionally the least con-
structive encouragement to agricultu-
raj self help. II is likely in short 10

We are going to war with Germany
unless the German Government who'll

murder. We are going to war ulti-
mately, whatever the temporary ac-

Mr.. Wilson wants peace. We all

Germany understand that the only
condition on which peace is possible
is the cessation of murder. This may
not be enough. Germany may not
feel our entrance in the war will
count for enough to overbalance the
profit Of submarine war. But we can
not help that.
Apparently, however. Germany does
not care to fight us, and is preparing
to change ground. This is all prom
ising-but it is only promising. Mr.
Wilson will destroy the promise il he
permits the Germans to believe wal

SubVenfion of the Farm Vote
lFrom The New York SUM-

Acceleration Of the work Of Congress
apparently includes an carly approach
to determined deliberation of rural
credits legislation and the enactment OF
a definite law. The House Banking and
Currency Committee has finished its
consideration Of the form of the bill
which, both in the Senate and the House,
is understood to enjoy administration
favor, and the lawmakers are expected
to forward its passage as rapidly as
may be compatible with their other en-
gagements.
According to report the measure
which Congress viii be asked to put
through has undergone little but YER
bal changes since it was first offered for
inspection at the beginning of the year.
This cannot be regarded as other than
disappointing. The legislation which
now seems TO be threatening provides q
rather elaborate financial organization
comprising a dozen district land banks,
somewhat after the analogy of the Fed
eral reserve scheme. but the apparatus
proposed for providing rural credits is
designed TO be more distinctly device
and department of the government than
IS the Federal Reserve system.
The prevailing idea in Congress to-
day seems to be to set up a financial
machine for the dispensation of rural
credits which shall be, both directly
and indirectly connected with the
Federal Treasury as the assured
source of funds and the benevolent

Labor's Anogation of Power
(From the New York SUM

Next Saturday marks the limit of
time the railway unions have allowed
to the railroads to answer their de-
mand for a substantial increase Of
wages in the guise of a shorter work
day. The alternative is general
strike on all the railroads of the
country even though the formaities
to providing for a strike are as yet
held in abeyance.
Under the critical circumstances OF
foreign affairs, il is quite likely that
from Washington in the next few
days an official appeal may be ad-
dressed TO the patriotism of the rail-
way unions and railway managoments
to adjust the controversy without the
hazard TO the public safety and pub
lie interest that would be risked i'm a
general suspension OF the transpor-
tation service The possibilities of
such an appeal serves to illustrate the
danger OF the right and power organ
lied labor arrogates in the case Of the
country's transportation system.
The Financial Chronicle argues
with force that the generality of the
demand delivered TO the railroads de-
serves especially to be resisted what
ever may be thought of the explicit
claim for increased pay. Whether IL
is necessary and desirable that sew
eral Of the railroads. acting by them
selves should refuse to treat with
the unions on the basis OF the country
wide demand. the generality Of the
demand constitutes an even greater
menace than is offered by the pros.
poct of additions TO the financial
burdens OF the carriers. The feature
which distinguishes this controversy
from all its predecessors is the fact
that an essential OF the union demand
is that the railroads shall collectively
take up the questions Of the length
Of the railroad working day and com.
pensation for il and deal with the
unions on a collective basis. In the
background, supporting this conten-
tion is the threat OF a national rail
road strike.
So far it has not appeared that the
railway managements have prepared
to oppose the unions on this point OF
real danger. Yet il cannot he con-
tended that traffic and other railroad

NO COMPROMISE

If Woodrow Wilson is capable OF
learning by experience, il he has at
last learned to discriminate between a
iact and Illusion If he is at last awake
to things as they are. the latest turn
IN our German relations must be in
structive.
For eighteen months and more he

tentioned and nearsighted gentleman
who persists in addressing a man

easional changes under pressure of

cause OF political anxieties. because
ne at last has his eyes open, Mr.. Will
son has addressed to the German Gov
ernment an ultimatum, and. what is
more important. succeeded in con-
vincing Berlin that Washington is at
least approximately in earnest.
The result is plain. Berlin is al
ready talking Of concessions and COM
promise The tiger has seen a fire and
has decided to modify temporarily and
materially his habit OF prowl and
feeding. Germany is now going to
give up something-bu we are to
have only a compromise.
Now. it is possible to compromise
most disputes between nations and
between individuals-bO ques-
tions, trade questions. Most tangles
yield to good will and mutual forbear-
ance. But neither. between nations
nor individuals can there be compro-
mise on murder You can't compro-
mise on permitting Germany to kill
only one woman and child a month
instead OF twenty. There is no COM
promise, because the value OF one life
is beyond all compromise.
But the essence OF our dispute with
Germany is that she has asserted the
right TO murder She has proclaimed
to the whole world that there are nc
laws where German interests arc al
stake and that no nations and no i'm
dividuals have rights when to abro-
gate them serves German purposes

conditions, especially financial condi-
tions, are the same at any one time
or at all times or in all sections.
Valid ground offers here for refusal
by the railroads to treat with the
unions on a countrywide basis; but
the public should be able to see in
the illustration afforded by the pres
ent crisis in the nations foreign af-
fairs that the highest public interest
should compel a challenge Of labor's
arrogance on the issues raised
We have become accustomed TO the
humiliation of the carriers and it
probably does not seem extraordinary
that the railway managements should
have failed from the beginning of this
controversy to oppose labor's demand
because of its generality. But il is
not many years since it would have
been unthinkable that the railroads
would hesitate a day to return
prompt refusal to enter into any ma
tionwide agreement. involving all sys-
tens. with their pecularities and re-
Quirements, in an observance of COM
mon terms of employment. Hardly
before today would it have occurred
to the railway unions to propose such
an arrangement.
Can there be any doubt that this
change must be attributed to the years
Of increasing coercion to which the
railroads have been subjected by po-
litical power which has at the same
time avoided the responsibility for its
acts? Can there be any doubt that
the result of this avoidance OF re-
spOnsihility is manifest in the proba-
bility that railway labor will now ac-

A. Conan Doyle, it was inconceivable
that che should in the full possession
of his senses act as a traitor TO the
country which had employed and hon
ored him" Demented by tropical
feyers, was the diagnosis of this gen
erous Englishman.
That view will not find ready ac-
ceptance among a people who are Civ
ing their lives to save the empire: but
it is a view the Government may find
1t convenient to entertain, lest Sir
Roger Easement be added to the roll
OF Irish martyrs. He can be tried
for treason on an array of evidence
that is overwhelming. II could be
shown that he had a strong proposes
sion in favor of Germany before the
war This was due" Sir A. Conan
Germany was destined to challenge
the Monroe Doctrine. which Sir Rog-
ers bitterly resented as being the ulti-
mate cause Of all that Putumayo bar
barsm which he had to investigate"
It is quite likely that in the dis
charge of his consular duties in tropi-
cal Africa and South America Sir
Roger had learned the German point
of view as to many things and had
become indoctrinated. ending by pre-
ferring the society Of Germans.
In fact. all that Easement did after
his splendid work for humanity in the
Congo and Putumayo for which the
British Government knighted. deco
rated and pensioned him. was lamen-
tably perverse and irrational. And
now he wears the stigma Of treason
and his life is forfeit.
There may be no connection be-
tween the disturbance in Dublin and
the desperate venture of Sir Roger
1 Easement, but it is a suspicious cir
fcumstance that about the time a DEM
Onstration by rebels with German
! weapons in their hands was due, that
is to to say. two or three days after
the disguised merchantmen was ex-
pected off the coast there should be
a serious riot in Dublin.
] Elsewhere in Ireland there have
been disorders. and apparently there
were concerted plans to defy the Gov
ernment; but unfortunately for the
disahected the Government is secre-
tive in its methods these days and the
censorship is rigid The German ex-
pedition came to grief three days be-
fore the news was given out.
The gravity of the situation in Dub
lin is yet to be determined by events.
According to the statement made
yesterday by the Chief Secretary for
Ireland. Mr.. Augustine Birrell. the
first reports were exaggerated. It has
been the policy Of the Government to
let the Sim Feiners talk, and the
seditious newspapers have been al
lowed to print about what they like
The situation has been more or less
delicate, but more rigorous police
measures might have defeated their
purpose. AS the great majority OF
the Irish people are loyal and have
no illusions about German friendship
for Ireland. the British government
seems. in that respect, to have chosen
the better way.
