veterans throughout the country who
have applied for pensions, or for in
creases in pensions. and who are Won

reply to their applications should
know that the Pension Office Is hold
ing up notices of reflections of appli-
cations. The notices no doubt will be
sent out after the November election.
= For about two months the Pension
ONCE has failed to send notices of re-
jections of applications for pensions.
This is a political scheme. because a
veteran whose pension is pending and
who does not know whether it will be
allowed or rejected is not apt to be
hostile to the Wilson administration.
Thousands Of these claims are being
held up in an endeavor by Commits
sioner Saltzgaber or his assistants, to
aid Wilson's campaign.

Mock Prsparedns ness.

Although Congress was so anxious to
get work started on the new battle
ships it authorized this year that it
provided that the Secretary Of the
Navy could add bonus Of 20 per
cent Of the cost for speed. Secretary
Daniels is holding up the plans for
their construction and 1t Is predicted
by naval officers that it will be far into
the next administration before the keel
of single battleship is laid. Congress
appropriated ss.ooS. 900 to make certain
government navy yards ready to build
these ships. because Of the crowded
condition Of the private yards. but
Daniels has held this work up entire
ly. Not a hand has been turned toward
preparing the navy yards for the big
task.
All Of this goes to show that the Will
son administration is only for pre-
paredness when it believes 1t can gain
votes thereby. and proves that real
preparedness and Daniels cannot exist
in the same administration.

signs Of the times look for a merry
rumpus in the Senate after the first

many Democratic Senators who will
charge their disaster up to him. For
example. Senator Johnson Of Maine is
known to feel that the ship purchase
bill was a large contributory cause Of
his failure to hold his seat. He and
the other lame ducks on the Democrat
ic side Of the chamber, knowing that
they are soon going out and that Will

pains to conceal their feelings.

already sick Of the didacticism and dc

Coming Events.

With that keen appreciation Of busi-
ness which has made him so successful.
Henry Ford Of Detroit has announced
his intention of establishing an auto
mobile factory in England in order that
he may be able TO avail himself Of the
abundant supply Of cheap labor which
will follow the end of the war. The
London Daily Telegraph has started a
movement to prohibit the importation
Of all American cars after the war. 1t
points out. aprcpos Of the effect OF the
var upon the equipment of motor
works, that:
1.-The small shop Is now the big shop.
large works have become factories, and
those works which were approaching
factory proportions have so grown as
to cover acres and acres of ground. full
ly equipped with tools and appliances
Tor large production. At present they
arc occupied with war work. but the
time must come, sooner or later, when
these shops will have to depend for
orders upon the motor using public. If
America could produce a four-seated
vehicle fitted with electrical equipment
for lighting and starting for 100-pounds
$500, this country should certainly be
able to produce an improved article for
cl5O or So
The Telegraph then goes on to ad-
vocate the exclusion by the Allies of
all American made cars when the war
ends. 1t declares that with American
and German cars excluded, England,
France and Italy should be able to
capture the trade of Russia. Japan,
Rounania and Serbia.

0ensoeratie Failure.

Secretary Of Commerce Redneld has
found time. Notwithstanding the fact
that his department is behind in its
work. to write a full page article for
the New York Times trying to demon
strate that the Underwood tariff law
caused decrease of imports Of goods
that compete with our products. II
that were true. the whole purpose Of
the law failed. The Democratic plat
form Of 1912 charged the Republican
protective tariff with the high cost Of
living. and proposed. by reducing the
tariff. to increase foreign competition.
thus reducing the cost Of living. But
the contention Secretary Redfield now
makes is unsound. American business
men did not close their factories or
curtail their output in 1914 Just for
the fun Of it.. They didn't let the bank
ruptcy notices hang upon their doors
without cause. They didn't let 1000, 600
idle men stand in the bread lines be-
cause they liked to see them there.
They were faced by a condition. not
a theory, and all the figures Secretary
Redfield and his slow-moving Depart
ment can compile viii not convince the
American business man and the Amer
lean labcrer that removing the pro-
tective duty did not increase compe-
tition with foreign imports.
