Everybody knows the reason for our increase In ex-
portation OF manufactured goods: Huge consgnments
OF explosives machine TOOLS copper sugar. steel pro-
ducts OF all kind automobiles, leave this country
each day for belieerent Europe Nobody expects that
traffic to be permanent
But contrary to Dr. Pratts statement. importa-
tons OF manufactured goods the increase Dur
ing the nine months ended September 1916. impor
tatons OF manufactures for further in manufacture
ing and manufactures ready for consumption totaled
$3.50 000 compared with S4O4 100000 for the first
nine months OF 1914. OF which under the
restricted operation of the Wilson Underwood aror
iess-than revenue law Nearly S6OO0OO0O worth came
IN during the month OF September alone and these
importations show increase from month TO month

ONE MORE WILSON wABBLE RuMORED.

a LREADY there are rumors that the Presidents
plan compulsory investigation OF labor disputes
become law. Organized labor is against it and
is reported to be trying to find a compromise plan
that there will be struggle in Congress about it,
But the prophets who forecastng complete failure
their opinion upon the theory that Mr. Wilson will
not stand up what he has told Congress is
sary.
II is true that no word has from the White
House on the subject: nor have any Of the readily
recognizable authorized Of authentic rumor
which cluster about the administration given any sign
Nevertheless. there is a subtle and growing opinion
that the whole programme which the President has In
sisted upon his message will be permitted to die
from neglect
The Democratic leaders In the House have frankly
washed their hands Of g. They say that the proper
origin for anything OF the kind should be in the Sen
ate In the Senate. Mr.. Newlands, Of Nevada, who is
chairman of the Joint COMMITTEES which is investgat-
ing the matter has lost something from the iaunty
fdence which he displayed at the beginning OF the ses-
sion And all around the capitol the watchword seems
TO be Pass the appropriation bill and go home
II this should be the result there will be two Presi-
dental messages to be explained away Last Septem-
ber when Mr. Wilson FIRST took the railroad problem
to Congress- he exhibited programme which contained
the compulsory investigation cardinal feature.
During the campaign IL argued that the imperative
necessity Of concluding the session in view OF the
cal campaign was all that prevented the passage of
the investigation bill then. In his annual the
President renewed the recommendation and gave evil
dence that he meant business.
Yet It is now believed that he will show Spartan
ardor for and that IL Congress is reluctant
to act he will not prod II.
Out OF this situation the iconocastic query Why?
obtrudes itself No one answer it. The oryp-
tic processes OF reasoning by which the President has
advanced TO so many strong positions only to beat
retreat are not open to public examination; are
they ever elucdated Therefore everyone is guessing
first whether the railroad programme will fall by The
wayside; and secondly II so. why?

British Review of The Year

the present superiority Of the British

one answer for the recent successes
along the Somme and the Ancre-
munitions. The lessons of Ypres,
Neuve Chapelie, and Loos have been
well learned.
In the latter days OF 1916 Britain
has been applying another lesson

to provide against the possible day

OF a few unpatriotic citizens, who
