nounced that 1t was intended to pro-
tect British industry.
In this business Of protection, by
the way, Britain is likely to learn
some lessons during the war that
will not soon be unlearned after
peace returns. With four millions Of
men under arms and other millions
in industries that produce exclusive
ly war materials, it might be pre-
sumed that Britain would need the
privilege Of importing a number Of
the articles named in Mr.. Runci-
mans list. Yet it is decided that
this is not needed. II with half its
ordinary industrial population out
of ordinary industry, Britain thinks
1t can provide itself with all these
necessaries-some Of them in much
greater quantities than normal
why on earth should their importa-
ton be permitted after the war,
when the millions will be back at
work?
Manifestly,. our own tariff prob
lem Of the future must be considered
with reference to these develop
ments in countries that will be our
rivals then. There never was
time when the argument for tariff
commission, and a real one, with
real powers, at that, was SO COM
plete and overwhelming as it is
now. Even President Wilson has
been won over to it; the rank and
file of his party will have to come
to it, or it will prove dangerous
issue against them.

WAR ECONOMIES IN EUROPE

The British Board of Trade has
announced an expansion of the list
of imports which will be embargoed
after March 30. 1t is, explained that
articles on this list will be permit
ted to be brought into the country
only under a special license issued
by the board; but the intention is to
be rigorous in the extreme about is
suing these, and to admit only goods
which were bought and paid for, or
were actually on the way to the
United Kingdom, when the order
was issued. Here is the revised list
Of enlarged articles:
Baskets and basketware, EXCEPT OF
bamboo cement. chinaware and pot
terry, not including Cloisopne wares
cotton yarn. cotton piece goods. and
cotton manufactures an Of all kinds.
fatty acids. furniture, manufactured
Joinery and other wood manufac-
lures, except lacquered wares :. hard
ware and hollowWare. oilcloth. soap.
wood and e timber u OF 'f SsneS f birSS,
elm, and oak; wooden md worsted
manufactures of all kinds except
yarns,
The inclusion of wooden and
worsted manufactures, except yarns
in this list, will surprise most PEG,
pie, in view of the huge problem Of
clothing millions of soldiers who
wear out vastly more clothing thar
they would in time of peace. Tht
explanation doubtless is that the
government, as a buyer, is superior
to its own embargo, and if for i'll
own use it wants to buy abroad, i
will be free to do so.
1t is very plain, on the whole
that two quite different purposes ar
intended to be served oy this EN-
barge. One is to prevent waste. o
money on luxuries; the ether is t
protect home industries. Studyini

one can detect the evidence of
protective policy back of it, just a

AERoPLANE PREPAREDNESS

Let nobody suggest that the Gov
eminent does not feel real concern
about preparedness. For example:
There being great need Of flying
machines to operate successfully
with our army in Mexico, but the
Government not having them to send
down there, Captain Clark, engineer
Of the Signal Corps Aviation School,
has been ordered from San Diego, on
the Pacific coast, at the Mexican
line, to proceed to Washington, here
on the Atlantic coast, to arrange
for the purchase of several aero
planes to be delivered to General
Pershing. ..
In the course Of few days Cap
tain Clark will reach Washington.
In the course of several days more
he may have discussed the matter
sufficiently with the Administration.
In the course of further time enough
red tape may have been unwound to
permit him to set about the purchase
Of the flying machines. In the course
Of still further time bids may be
submitted by manufacturers; they
may be accepted. In the course of
still further time the flying machines
may be built. In the course Of still
further time some of our aviation
officers may familiarize themselves
with the aeroplanes. In the course
Of still further time the machines
may be shipped, perhaps even by
fast freight, down to the Mexican
border.
Then if the machines to. which our
aviators are new will work any bet
ter than the old ones which we
didn't discover would not work I'M
til we tried to fly them along the
course of Pershing's column, why,
we may be somewhat prepared in
that aviation matter.
Meanwhile, observe that it is now
going on three weeks since Villa in
vaded the United States; Pershing
is now several hundred miles within
Mexican territory on the trail of
Villa. And an aviation engineer is
just getting his orders to travel
from San Diego to, Washington to
take up the matter of buying the
flying machines which Pershing very
much needs at this minute and
which he possibly may get some
day-if the war lasts long enough

thority. II is obvious. would be very
similar to that which il conferred on
the Interstate Commerce Commission In
the matter OF fixing railroad rates.
There has never been serious doubt that
Congress had the power to make rail-
road rates: whether II had the power
to authorize a commission to make
them for It. was long and bitterly dis
puted.
The Dolllver- Hepburn rate legislation
adopts the theory that Congress can
fix standard for rate making. and
then authorize the commission to settle
the letails conformably to this stand
ard. In the matter Of railroad rates,
the standard requires that they shall

Conditions To Be Changed.
In the matter OF tariff duties. II is
believed that there will be no violation
OF the Constitution IL the law simply
requires that rates should be adjusted
to conserve the commercial interests of
the country. and to produce annually
some fixed amount of revenue. This
would leave ample discretion to the
commission.
this time Congress will grant such a
broad authority. Yet 1t is realized that
after the war In Europe there will be
rapid and kaleidoscope changes in in
ternational commercial relations. which
may necessitate numerous and quick
tariff adjustments.
How to make these adjustments
promptly. without opening the whole
tariff question. short OF delegatinE au-
thority over rates. is a big question now
commanding the serious thought Of tar
iff experts. without doubt, the neces-
stiles of the after-the-war situation are
strengthening the hands of men who
want to turn over the whole business
OF making tariff rates to some admin
istrative. authority in the nature OF a
commission.
Nobody seriously believes So long a
step will be taken at this time; many
public men believe II will have TO he
