he says, mot words. The sum and
substance Of its offending has been its
inability to face tie facts. 1t has
lived in a world of its own creation.
Its difficulties "have been due to its
own weakness and incertitude." Other
things than the Lusitania tragedy
might have been prevented had it
been capable Of prompt and decisive
action" But it has halted between
two opinions, it has postponed deci-
sion, it has followed after the event.
Mr.. Hughes calls attention to Mr..
Lansing's Mexican Note of June 20 as
confession of ineptitude. All the
evils he there recounts have arisen
from the policy of Intervention with
out responsibility. 1t was a policy
which every one acquainted with CON
ditions in Mexico knew was perilous;
yet after three years the nation is
still unprepared for the serious diff
culties it has forced upon US. If this
is not objectionable neglect" as Mr..
Hughes says. what is it? Nor can the
blame be shared. Mr.. Wilson has had
the freest possible hand and this is
the result.
The country must stand behind him
in the conflict his folly has engender-
ed but this obligation does not imply
consent to policy about which it was
not consulted Mr.. Hughes points out
the distinction between "loyal and
patriotic support of the Government"
and approval Of the fatuous course
which the Administration has follow
ed" The partisans of the President
are endeavorire desperately to con-
fuse the two. That is in effect new
version Of Louis XVI's familiar say
ing. "L'etat, c'est moi" To defend the
nation when it is in trouble and to de-
fend the man who brought the trouble
about are two distinct and separate
things. The American people are per-
fectlv able to recognize this fact

! lutioniztng the service system in op-

ktoads that the whole matter be re-
f;3erred to the Interstate Commerce
Commission for arbitration has been
reflected by the railroad employees.
They have taken a vote on the ques-
ton OF strike, and so far as the
scounting has proceeded it has been
almost unanimous for striking.

of the graTest situations the country
has been called on to face. 1t is de-

Two years of European war
have Brought about some inter
estnG and significant develop
ments in the immigration sltua-
ton in the United States.
The first and most obvious eta-
feet OF the outbreak Of hostililies
upon the movement OF aliens be-
tween the United States and Eu-
rope was 10 diminish the number
journeying IN either direction. and
10 cut down the number OF ar
rivals in the United States so
much more radically as To reduce
the net increase Of population
from this source almost 10 zero.
Whereas In the fiscal year ending
June so. 1915 the number OF aliens
arriving in this country exceeded
the number OF those departing by
Sl5,303, and in the following year
BY 1926, the net increase IN The
year ending June'30. 1913 was only
5000. and in the next ten months
T9.0+3. This is the first time III
many years that the immigration
stream has been practically check
ed for so long a period. and also
the first time for over half q CEN
fury that the volume Of immigration
has been controlled By conditions
in Europe rather than by the econ
omic situation in the United
States.
As.a result Of the novel condt-
liunS certain facts about lnimlera-
ton have been demonstrated with
convincing clearnesS. Perhaps the
most important OF these facts Is
the existence Of large numbers OF
unasSimilated foreigners IN our
body polite. Il has been the fash
ion in the past 10 accept the COM
Portable doctrine that the vast
lhrongS Q. aliens who have been
added 10 our population were. by
some subtle magic, being trans
formed into genuine Americans.
Particularly have we been made TO
believe that the old immigration,
that which has been established
for two or three generations. was
completely amalgamated with the
American nation The veil has
now been completely lifted from
that optimistic fallacY. Hostility
between the various nations or

factors which held the wages and

men of this country down 10 an
undesirably low level. The period

reported in the news items almost
daily. This development is, still in
It's initial stages, but il the war
