Harmony in the si1ty-ffth Congress
will be so much to the good in the fight
for the Sixty-sixth Congress two years
hence, which will be waged, as the re-
cent fight was, between the republican
party and the democratic party. On
the other hand, chickering's and distrust
will make bad impression on the coun-
try, and go far to support the charge of
tbs opposition that the party lacks CO.
herence and purpose.
The fight for the Sn.J-sixtt Congress,
by the way, will be the more vigorously
conducted because of the probable bear
ing of the result on the campaign of
1920. A democratic victory midway of
Mr.. Wilson's second term will greatly
hearten him in his desire either for
third term, or for lieutenant of his
choice for the succession. And, likewise,
a republican victory then will stir that
party with the hope of putting one of
its own men in the White House, and
entering upon long period of national
control.

Russia and the Straits.

An important announcement has been
made at Petrograd by Premier Trepoff
to the effect that last year an agree
ment was reached between the entente
allies definitely establishing Russia's
right to Constantinople and the straits.
Such an agreement has been believed
for some time to have been reached, but
it did not become public until Trepoff
acknowledged it in a formal statement
The announcement was made evidently
for a definite purpose, to encourage the
Russian people in their participation in
the war, to let them know "for what
they are shedding blood"
Control of Constantinople and the
straits Of the Bosphorus and the Darda-
nelles has long been Russia's dream. To
that end she has intrigued and fought
on many occasions. Always obstacles
have stood in the way Of accomplish
ment. One power or another has sue
ceeded in making a combination to pre-
vent the attainment Of the Mediterra-
mean by Russia. The present war may,
indeed, be attributed indirectly to Rus
sia's ambition. Were it not for this
steadfast purpose Russia would not have
regarded herself as directly concerned
in the affairs Of the Balkans. Her in

The British Cabinet Crisis.

Englands cabinet crisis, precipitated
by Lloyd Georges cssignation as min
lister of war and by Asq1ith's conse-
quent advice to the king to reconstruct
the ministry, is likely to lead = no
serious consequences. The coalition
ministry, formed soon after the war be-
gan, has lasted, with few changes, for a
longer time than seemed likely upon its
institution. 1t was composed of di-
verse elements and its early disintegra-
tion was predicted by many. 1t seems
to have gradually formed into two fac
tional groups comprising Asquith, Grey,
Balfour and Lansdowne on the one side,
and George, Law, Carson and Lord Derby
on the other Yet it was only lately
proposed that war council should be
formed comprising Asquith, George,
Carson, Law and Baifour, thus includ-
ing members of both sides.
England is not likely to falter in the
work of war prosecution because Of po-
llIlcal OF personal OlHeTeHceS DetWeeH
members of the government. 1t has
power of cooperation always in reserve.
No matter how bitterly the political fac
tions may contend, in the conformation
Of an enemy there is but one thought
that of unity of purpose and action.
The differences in the British cabinet
are doubtless over, matters of policy,
comparatively small considerations with
reference to the great issue of the prose-
cution of the war Naturally the cen
sorship prevents full disclosure of all
the reasons for the present friction, yet
it may not be doubted that Berlin is
in possession of the complete story.

Congress and the Clerks Pay.

Congress begins today short session
| at which many things must be done in
order to fulfill the national Legislative
program. One item which, regardless
of other considerations, should receive
attention is that which bears upon the
! compensation of the government EN-,
| ployes, whose necessities have been mud
tiplied for years without any correspond
| ing increase in their incomes.
Every few days comes word of wage
increase in large industrial establish
| Star has contained announcements OF
this kind from half dozen points. Dur
| ing the past six months these wage in
creases have been continuous and gen
erous. The government alone has stood
still in the matter of salary readjust,
| ments while the cost of living has ad-
vanced at distressing rate.
Congress should not wait for specific
administrative recommendations on this
point It should take the matter in
hand directly in the framing of the ap-
preparation bills. A single paragraph
in one of these measures will accom-
plish the object of horizontal increase
in the government pay. This should be
an organic enactment, not merely rated
as an emergency to meet the immediate
requirements of the government work
ers.
As The Star pointed out the other day,
about fifty years ago an emergency ad-
vance in government pay was legislated,
but with a time limit, and after few
months of increased compensation the
public service clerks dropped back to
their former scales and have remained
there ever since. In any enactment now
undertaken there should be no time
limit. The government pay scale should
be increased permanently. On the basis
of this horizontal increase should rest
any future adjustments that may be eff
fected in the administrative assignments
and classifcations resulting from the
survey Of departmental conditions now
in progress.
No plea Of temporary Treasury strin-
gency can justify a continued postpone
ment of this matter. The governments
salary scale is obviously inadequate. 1t
dnes not ineura tho hoo% eary;oa t. :.
the cause of constant discomfort. 1t re-
suits in serious privations for the clerks,
with consequent deterioration in their
performance of duty. For its own sake
the government should reft the public
service pay scale to the economic and
departmental conditions, that have
changed so greatly during the past half
century.
Evening star., 1916-12-04

In July, 1914. for the murders at Sera-
jevo was inspired by this general
thought of dominance in the regions
south of Austria and controlling the ap-
proaches to the Mediterranean.
It would appear from Trepoff's state
ment that the agreement as to Constan-
tinople and the straits was reached prior
to Italy's entry into the war in 1915,
and that that power, upon joining the
allies, subscribed to it. This agreement
practically precludes all possibility of a
separate peace by Russia. For it is In
conceivable that Germany would ever go
so far in peace terms as to grant to
Russia control of the Turkish straits,
and consequently the permanent closing
of Germany's avenue of development in
the far east As far as Germany is con-
cerned, Russia must win this goal by
war strokes and not by diplomacy.

The Republicans and HARMONY.

With reference to the expectation Of
the opposition that in the next Congress
developments will renew the differences
between the two republican schools and
force them farther apart than ever, this
appeared in news story in yesterdays
Star,
'Tt IS known that there is small
ground for this hope, since the two ele-
ments Of the party are seeking to reach
more harmonious relations than ever be-
fore. The so-called regulars, according
TO authentic knowledge, have no dispo-
ettion to pursue any course objection
able to the progressives, but are count
ing upon adopting most progressive
policy in case they are placed in con-
troll Of the House. It is also known that
the leading spirits among the progress
etves are not disposed to impose radical
conditions upon the regulars and will be
oontent with liberal and progressive
policy Of character which the regulars
Gan accept without wry face"

Preddent, Congress and Teamwork.

At the beginning of his administra-
ton the President as the leader of his
party asked for teamwork, and got it.
The democrats in both houses of Con-
gress consulted him, and, in nearly
everything, followed him. Indeed, the
charge resulted that he was the whole
team At any rate, a good deal was ac-
compiished, and in the recent campaign
the record was successfully quoted in
support of the appeal FOR second term
for him.
The second term having been voted,
the President renews his proposition for
teamwork, and takes practical steps to
secure it. The presence by invitation of
Speaker Clark and Leader Kitchin at
the White House last night inaugurated
the policy for this session.
Both know the congressional ropes
thoroughly. The President has never
served in Congress. Hence the value of
q conference between the official who is
to recommend legislation, and two Off
cials who are to look after the recon-
mendations.
Outside of the supply bills the most
important propositions relate to a meas
ure or measures supplemental of the So
called eight-hour law, and to the ex-
ceseixe cost of living. In the language
Of TIE street, both strike the people
where they live. The market basket is
the most intimate of home institutions;
and IL the eight hour law is to stand and
be bfoadened and strengthened the pub
lie must foot the bills. The increased
pay for whatever employees are affected
will in the end be assessed against the
people, and in some way collected from
them.
Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Kitehin, while not
committing themselves as to details, as
sured the President of cooperation in
his effort to secure action on matters he
thinks pressing. That is to say, they
will employ the machinery of the House
to facilitate discussion and action on
measures presented in furtherance of
his views.
It is to be remembered, however, that
the new questions are new, indeed, and
may provoke good deal of discussion
The so-called eight-hour law, it turns
out, is incorrectly named. and does not
provide what the benefciaries desired,
and still desire. And as to supplemental
measures, suggestions have already de-
veloped wide differences Of opinion.
How to reduce the excessive cost of
living, if it can be done by congress
eional action. opens a wide field for de-
bate, and will probably bring into ac-
tion every man whose constituents have
felt the present pinch, and who is figur-
ing on retaining public favor at home.

How It Worked Out.

How It Worked Out.
We thought when women voted
That their efforts would be noted
AS a concentrated force for one great
cause
With glory fraught;
That they'd ballot all together,
Quite disdaining fuss and feather,
And unanimously offer their applause.
That's what we thought.
Oh, they did create surprises,
And upset some wise surmises,
But they didn't line up solid as a clan
To duty bid.
The daughter, wife and mother
Disagreed with one another,
And each voted her own way just like
a man.
That's what they did.
