A UNITED COUNTRY.

The result of the vote in the House OF
the McLemore resolution to warn Amer
leans off the merchant ships of belliger.
ent nations was decisive; it represented
the strength of single established
principle against whole collection of
ideas which were temporarily joined in a
movement to defeat the single we'll
established principle. 1t is certain that
the opposition to the administration was
not for single purpose; those who
fought the administration were not all
believers in scheme OF passivity toward
the defense Of the nation. There We're
some, without a doubt, who put party
politics first among the influences guild
ing their vote. Had politics been swept
aside there would, we believe, have been
far more sweeping support of the ad-
ministration in its negotiations with bel
ligerent countries looking toward the re-
tention of the rules of international rela-
tions in time of war. Unfortunately
politics doomed too large on the mental
horizon of many man. and Republi
can frequently cannot bring himself to
side with Democrat, or vice versa.
But notwithstanding that handicap, the
forces which believed in upholding the
administration after the administration
had taken a stand based on international
usages and who believed that the gov
eminent of the United States should be
kept from being made a laughing stock
the entire world-those
forces succeeded in winning a decisive
victory in the House, almost as decisive
as had been the administrations victory
in the Senate over the Gore resolution of
similar import to the McLemore propo-
SAL The victory was almost two to one.
Now the word can go forth to the world
hat the United States is not a house |
divided against itself, that this republic
s more than a conglomer~tion loosely |
thrown together and likely to be sep
lrated at the first shock of hostile con-
act, that it is, indeed, closely knit,
'ight-loving, patriotic people who wish
o see justice done on all sides. That is
he message which goes forth, thanks to
.76 men in the House and 6S men in the
senate representing large majorities.

NETHERLANDS HARD HIT
By Latest German Export Measure
Millions of Dollars Loss Threatened.

Rotterdam Netherlands, March o.
stir has been made in the Dutch metal
industries by the latest German export
measure, which amounts to the annul-
ment of running contracts of Dutch
firms with the German iron foundries
and threatens the firms in question with
the loss of millions OF dollars.
Many of them are already turning to
England and Scotland for their raw iron
supplies, and would doubtless place big
orders in America but for the abnormal
freights.
Among other measures decided on with
view to counteracting the very UNI
favorable exchange rate against Ger
many, the government in Berlin issued
an export prohibition on bar universal"
and strip iron, prescribing at the same
time that consents for export shall only
be granted where a minimum price fixed
by it is paid. With view to attaining
this minimum price, the sale has been
placed in the hands of the steel works
union in Dusseldorf. The consequence
is that the German iron works prevent
ed by carrying out the contracts they
had entered into with Dutch customers,
which bona fide contractors are thus an.
nulled in order to get higher prices.
A meeting of the leading Dutch en-
cheering and shipbuilding concerns and
connected trades was held recently at
which resolution was passed emphasiz-
ing that the carrying out of the measure
in question will cause serious damage to
Dutch industry and urging The Neither
lands government to take steps to get
the export prohibition withdrawn.
committee was appointed and
charged to make representations to the
German authorities. Some of the manu-
facturers present had already placed
themselves in communication with Brit.
ish iron foundries with a view to obtain
ing their supplies, and second commit
tee was nominated to prepare the way
for securing other iron consignments in
that country
1t is recognized that Germany has a
right to obtain higher prices, il it can,
Tor it's raw iron exports so far as all
fresh contracts are concerned, especially
when it is remembered that, owing to
he withdrawal of labor for the army, i
1nly ll,790,l99 tons of iron were pro-
luced in 1915, as against l4,39s,54 tons
n 1914 and l9309,l72 tons in 1918. The
Infairness lies, it is argued, in giving
he measure retrospective force and ap- 4
dying it to contracts already signed.
No export of bar iron is now permit
ed from Germany below a price Of $500
-old per 100 Kilograms, which means an

CURRENT COMMENT
The Results.

There seems to be nothing indefinite
about the verdict of Vermont on Perry
ism. The ma ority of $4,000 or there
abouts against the Perry act demon
strates the fact that the local option law
after l3 years of successful operation,
has made itself solid with the people of
the state as temperance measure.
The maiorities against the Perry act
on the east side of the state are most
significant. They come from temperance
people, living in what has been known
as lily-white territory, and the MAORI
ties in Essex and Caledonia counties are
the most striking testimony to the eff
fectiveness of the local option law as a
Temperance measure that could possibly
be given.
There was some falling of in west
side counties. but the tremendous turn
overs in Windsor and Windham counties,
the increased majority in Washington
county and the carrying of Lamoille and
Orange counties are details Of the vic
tory that are inexplicable except upon
the straight issue of local option, a
measure
Some personalities entered into the
votes in various towns. Take the traf
&c trouncing which Brsttleboro gave the
Perry act. for instance. Undoubtedly
the distinguished personality Of Judge
J. N. Tyler had a great deal to do with
this result
On the other hand. the very narrow
margin with which the town Of Enos-
burg was carried for the Perry act dem
1ustrates the slimness Of the hold which
the Olin Merrill machine has upon that
territory.
Other striking demonstrations Of re-
sentiment against outside dictation were

THE LITTLE TOWNS POWERFUL IN
REFERENDUM.

REFERENDUM.
1t was not the large towns and the
cities of Vermont which gave such de-
cisive defeat to the statewide prohibit
tion law, although those communities
contributed considerably to the 1866
majority against the measure. 1t had
been expected that the large centers of
population would 90 very strongly
against the law and that the small
towns would contribute majorities in ia
vor of the measure which would serve
to nullify, in part, the maiorities of the
large places. II would not be accurate
to say that the reverse OF the expecta.
tion proved to be the case, but to a GER
tain extent the reverse did materialize.
The large towns and cities gave good
maiorities against the law, but the bulk
Of the total majority was largely fur
nished by the smaller communities which
turned against prohibition in surprising
fashion while at the same time they
themselves were voting for no-license
under the local option principle. The
only explanation Of this result j. 70 be
found in the general belief that a con
slant. or annual, stirring up Of local sen
timent Is the best agency for enforce
meut OF the liquor law; IN other words
that the frequent presentation Of the

arouse puhlie sentiment than would b.
