have taken the statesman's point Of
view, not that Of the special pleader or
the frenzied patriot. They have freely
acknowledged that the guilt was not all

not sensible answers TO Belgium. They
may be arguments that have weight

Now, Mr.. Russell takes chiefly the
moral, not the diplomatic viewpoint,
and with it combines the economic one,

TIE NATIONAL ISSUES or l''f. D. 'he Hon
Charles y Fowler. s7o. ID So. Printed and
bound ~ Harper Bros
In this volume Mr.. Fowler attempts
70 forecast the issues Of the campaign
Of 1916. Unfortunately, IN world
turned topsy-turvy by war, it IS futile
TO follow the ordinary precedcnts m
selecting those questions which are 70
sorve as points Of contact between po-
litical parties. a good deal has hap
pened since most OF the matter Of Nh
Fowler's book was written. Issues
which he considered controlling have
faded into the background, and Issues
brand new in American politics nave
taken their place
Il might have seemed, prior TO the
sinking Of the Lusitania, that the cam
paien Of 1916 would be fought along
familiar lines that the Administration
m power would be called upon 20 Justi-
fy what il had done or omitted 20 do
in the way of tariff revision, currency
reform. the regulation Of business and
the resuscitation Of our merchant ma
rine. Yet it is plain enough to-day that
these questions will be thrust aside as
incidental. and that the Wilson Admin
istration will go to judgment mainly
on it's foreign policy and on its etti-
tude toward the problems Of military
preparedness.
MIR. Fowler treats the tariff, the Fed
eral Reserve banking law and the re-
building of the merchant marine as
the vital issues Of the moment So long
AZ the war lasts the Underwood tarit
law can hardly be considered an issue
az all. Circumstances have practically
suspended its operation so far as the
regulation Of imports is concerned.
Foreign competition in our market has
been temporarily eliminated, because
all the other great manufacturing and
exporting nations have turned their
energies 20 supplying domestic war
needs. The United States does not
feel the pinch of lower import duties,
and is not likely TO feel it until normal
economic conditions are restored.
As to the Tariff Commission issue,
since Mr.. Fowler's book was written
President Wilson has suddenly re-
versed himself on il and called upon
Democratic Congress TO create that adj
visorv and regulative board. so neces-
sary to scientific tariff administration,
which hit-or-miss. dark lantern re-
visers Of the Wilson Underwood

contempt. We shall probably soon have

This is the third Of the Tarzsn

The basic idea was a good one, of a

New York, June 13.-Although the con-

declared tonight that the negotiations in
tended to avert general strike have
failed. The conference, they state, will

become effective. The demands Of
the men include an eight hour day,
time and half for overtime and the
retention of existing methods of dou-
