struction OF four battleships, four
scout cruisers and twenty torpedo boat
destroyers. There is no navy yard
available 10 build any Of these SHIPS
and the private shipyards Of the coun-
try are crowded TO the limit. so that
there is every prospect that the gov
ernment will have to pay extremely
high prices.
The prices which it will be neces.

naval officers, could easily have been
avoided had the administration needed
the recommendations Of the General
Board and provided a regular and sys-
tematic increase OF the navy. But IT.

1t is further declared that the final

ships. is also having its effect in stiff
ening the prices asked by private con-
structors for naval vessels.

WHY HE SURRENDERED.

It should not be forgotten that Presl-
dent Wilson in his address to Con-
gress last week. when the country
was looking to him for an exhibition
of constructive craftsmanship fell mis-
erably below any point Of that char
acter. 1t was an occasion that re-
quired the greatest roise, the highest
conception Of his high office. In that
crisis, in that great test he lamentaoly
failed by appearing as the special ad-
yocate of one side TO a controversy.
ignoring any rights the other had in
the matter. and at the same time de-
manding Legislation utterly repugnaut
10 the fair-minded people OF the coun-
try in Yitiating the principle OF lrbl-
traton This. absolute surrender TO
the dictation Of the railway brother
hoods is quite suggestive when the
record of. Woodrow Wilson professor
is compared with Woodrow Wilson,
President. In an address TO the gradu-
ating class Of Princeton University,
in 1900, he had this to say of labor
unions:
YOU know what tho usual standard of
the employee is in oGE da%. 1t is 10 give
as little as he may for his wages.
Labor is standardized by tradeS-unions.
and this is Il standard to which ii is
made TO conform. No one is suffered 10
do more than tn" arcraS: workman can
do; in some trades and handicrafts no
one IS suffered to do more than the least
skIllful of his fellows can do within
the hours allotted TO days labor. and no
one may work out OF hours at all or VOL
unteer anything beyond 'he minimum.
7 need not point out how economically
disastrous such q regulation Of labor
is 1t Is so Improbable In the employer
that in some trades II Will presently not
DE- worth his while to attempt anything
Mt all. He had better stop altogether
than operat" at an inevitable and in
variable lnSs.
The labor Of America Is rapidly be-
coming Tnpr"titahlc under Its present
ined to reduce it 10 II min mum. Our
economic supremacy may be lost be-
cause the country grows more and more
full Of Improbable servants"
The point is. that Woodrow Wilson
President, seeking a reelection de-
liberately chose the point OF least re-
sistance rather than stand for funda-
mental principle which an element Of
the labor forces Of the country re-
pudiated. In excuse for this abject
reversal OF his views expressed in the
above quotation. he has said that the
eight hour day is sanctioned by So
ciety." Not bit more than 1t was
when as President OF Princeton Uni
yersity, he condemned it. Further
the issue was not the eight hour day.
but higher wages. He knew this. In
this case he has yielded principle for
partisan benefit, and has shown that
he Is not to be depended upon whore
the general welfare OF the country
comes first IL it should Interfere with
his personal ambitions. This will be-
come palmer as the months go by.

tanning permanently the worlos peace
than any other power whatever.
The commercial forces. as we know,
are already united through natlonal
chambers Of commerce, and these ma
tional chambers have recently oeen
meeting on an international OASIS.
Labor is already federated nationally
in the principal countries, OF the
world: and these bodies also have met
in international conference. the agrt
cultural industry alone remains TO be
organized. and as effectively AS II Is in
Germany under the Landwirthschafts
rats. When this shall have been done,
and when all three shall have; united
into one world force, il can be said
that the worlds permanent peace Will
be in sight War will then be limited
necessarily 10 a condition 49, that is,
whenever the nations concerned d.
recily and those COnCtrned indirectly
shall put 10 universal suffrage ques-
ton: "Shali there be war;
The immediate objection that arises
Is that, at the beginning Of the cur.
rent war, the experiment was tried on
smaller scale. The Socialists Of
Germany and of France had declared
against war; they had sworn blood
bTothership; yet. upon the declaration
of war, Socialists on both sides forgot
their oaths, took up arms and pro
ceeded to do their part in the conflict.
That is true. But the mere union in
sentiment between segments OF two
nations gainsaid the major premise
that there must be union OF all seq
ments Of all nations.
This, then. is the great desideratum
the accomplishment W h C h the
Twentieth Century should bring forth.
Only then will 1t be possible for
swords TO be beaten into plowshares,
spears into pruning hooks; nations
shall not lift up arms against nations,
when war shall be no more. The pub
lie opinion created by such an inter-
national force will be ample to give to
the world normal, rational method
of procedure in place Of the abnormal
and irrational arbitrament Of war,
now exercised BY individual nations.

qualified men. Secretary Lane es-
pecially, has pretty keen grasp on
the Mexican situation as is evidenced
BY his frank waving aside of all the
balderdash about the first invasion
having been 10 force salute OF the
American flag and his frank avowai
that it's sole purpose was to drive
Huerta out. Judge Grey is a man OF
demonstrated judicial attainments
little given TO extreme craftsmanship.
And Or. Motifs wide experience IN
connection with the y. NJ. c. A. is
likely 10 prove valuable.
And yet, in the light OF past expert
cnce and present events, that this
commission has any mission other
than TO tide over the Mexican situa-
ton until after the election Is difficult
70 nerceive. Funston has recommend
ed the withdrawal Of American troops
from Mexican territory and Pershlng
reports that Villas power Is crushed.
AS the declared primary purpose OF
the conference was TO discuss condi-
tons on which the troops would be
withdrawn, its reason for being ap-
pears to have passed before it came
into existence. There Is, Of course,
another phase. CarranAa wants money
and President Wilson wants Ameri-
cans to advance it. Possibly, after all,
the chief purpose Of the conference.
aside from tiding over the situation
until after election, is to provide Am
erican funds for Carranza-

:? Ever since the war the question OF
permanent peace among the nations
has been discussed with redouhlcd
rigor The two proposals toward this
end have been treaties for arbitration
on the one hand and, on the other. in
terparliamentary uniticatlon. The.
time has not. yet arrived for either
one of the two, as a means ehecuVe
for the end.
We must remember that every one
of the nations claims sovereign power,
and so long as that is the case. 1t
cannot be expected that any nation
will waive its sovereignty rights. a
sovereign nation can be expected TO
adhere To treaty or be member OF
interparliamentary authority only so
long as its adherence may serve the
purpose Of increasing its power or or
maintaining its status QUO When
ever anything arises which may prove
adverse to its interests, it will re-
serre-as nations do now-the right
to disregard treaties or arrangements
with other powers. Such parties to
the agreements will amend them,
break them, just at the juncture when
il is imperative. for the good OF all,
that they be maintained. AS Spinoza.
in speaking of the sovereignty OF ma
tions, says:
This -treaty-remains so
long unmoved as the motive for en-
tering into it--that is. fear of hurt
or hone OF gain--subsists. But take
| away from either commonwealth this
hope or fear. and 1t Is left independent
and the link whereby the common
| wealths were mutually bound breaks
itself Therefore. every common
wealth has the right 10 break its con-
tract whenever it chooses
And no wonder. for he says OF the
sovereign nation: The right Of the
supreme authorities Is limited by
| their powers"
We thus see that. in our time, it
would be futile TO hope for arbitra-
ton treaties or interparliamentary
union TO bring about permanent
peace.
In our day there is but one approach
in my opinion which will lead up TO
enduring peace. That is through. the
international coalescence Of agricul-
tural. industrial and commercial
forces.
We should work towards the ma
tional coalescence Of all three forces
and then work TO have these national
