CASE OF SIR ROGER EASEMENT

II IL shall prove true, as reported,
that the British government doesn't
consider executing Sir Roger Case
ment for treason, It will be a new
testimony to the cool-headed sense Of
the Asquith ministry. Sir Roger can
only be regarded as traitor, and a
particularly obnoxious one. He was
for many years a government off,
cial, knighted for meritorious service
in the consular field. Before the Eu-
ropean war; he was leader of the
extreme faction of northern Ireland,
which was going through the mo-
tions Of preparing for civil war.
It is needless to discuss now,
whether the Ulstermen really intend
ed to fight or were making bluff for
the purpose Of soaring the home gov
eminent out of its home rule pro-
gram. Whatever they had intended
doing, they turned in and became as
loyal as any other British subjects
when the time came to decide be-
tween British and German affiliation.
Il was a typical British performance.
Germany had been plotting and
helping finance the Irish revolt; but
Ulster was not to be tolled of into
any treason to the empire in such
fashion.
Sir Roger was the one prominent
north Irelander who stood by his
German deal. When Sir Edward
Carson and the others Of his asso-
ciates went over, bag and baggage,
to the support Of the British cause,
Easement went of to Berlin to carry
on further plots. Since that time the
British government has indicated, by
cutting off his consular pension, that
it regarded him as a renegade; and
now he has'been captured, with a
German filibustering expedition that
was trying to land a cargo Of NUM-
tions in north Ireland.
It is not quite clear whether there
is any real support for the Easement
activities in Ireland. The British
censorship has been SO rigorous that
only whispers have come out Of the
country concerning the slumbering
disaffection that is reported to have
been famed at two or three places
into attempted uprisings. In any
case, these have been unimportant in
their bearing on the general war sit
uation.
The capture Of Sir Roger is
promptly followed by the announce
ment from London that he will be
regarded as insane, and confined in
an asylum instead of being taken to
the Tower and shot for treason. His
own public statements would be
ample testimony on which to convict
him of disloyalty. But the British
government doesn't propose to make
a martyr Of him. It is better bust
ness to turn the laugh on his sup
porters by taking the position that
their leader is merely crazy man.

lectures are already being INDUCED sug-
gest the gravity with which the sltua-
Il Is pointed out that when the war
ends most of the export business this
country In now doing In war supplies
will almost instantly be cut off. That
will necessitate very quick readjust-
country. and even the wisest of our IL
nancial and economic leaders have not
got very far toward organizing a defi-
mite program for meeting this exigency.
They realize that II is ahead. and that
II Is going to impose conditions that will
be difficult 10 handle. During the first
year OF the war there was n good deal
of prediction that this country would
confront very tense business conditions

because the country's Astounding pros
perity has developed a consuming, dis
tributing and producing capacity quite
beyond anything that had been con-
ceived.
Not q Cheering Prospect.
But the prospect OF confronting such
an alliance AZ now seems seriously con-
templated, IN anything but cheering.
II the allies win the war they will be
dominant in the worlds shipping bust
ness, and they are including In their
program a scheme OF agreements con-
corning international shipping OF mer-
chandise which might easily conserve
after the war very large part OF the
advantage they are now enjoying.

There has never been a scheme Of in
ternational federation OF such tremen-
dous scope and wide-reaching possib bill

Tremendous Potentialities.
In involves potentialities which no man
can weigh OF measure. When II was
first discussed there was evidence OF a
strong opposition in England to affiliate
with such a project. 1t was pointed out
by the old IA shioned British free traders
that Great Britain's commercial and
financial power had been built upon a
policy OF the largest commercial free
dom, and of avoiding entangled eco
hut as the war has been prolonged
and the necessity for a thorough mobili-
cation OF the joint resources of the en-
tente powers has been increasingly APP
parent. there has been more disposition
In England to assent TO such a pooling
of interests with the other allies.
Nobody doubts that revolutionary
changes In the commercial and financial
relationships throughout the world will
grow out of the war. For this country
the question is whether we are prepar-
ing To take care of ourselves In the
midst OF these changes.
President Wilson, In changing front on
the tariff question and becoming a sup
porter of the tariff commission idea
has made 1t clear that he Is impressed
with the necessity for preparedness In
this regard. How far he wants to go
and particularly. how far he can carry
his party with him. are questions OF
the greatest import at this time.

Just n little while ago there was heid
in Paris conference OF military and
parliamentary chiefs OF the allied
powers. This week there will be held
in that same capital an international
parliamentary economic conference to
take UP variety OF subjects which
are frankly announced In advance. and
the announcement OF which has dis
tinctly shocked the complacency OF
Washington officiaidom.
Tho dispatches from Paris say the
subjects which this conference will con-
tracts. collection of debts. sequestra-
ton OF goods and chattels, patents and
related subjects, precautions against
the invasion OF the markets OF the
allied countries by German products.
reduction OF postal. telegraph, and
telephone rates. and the establishment
OF a minimum tariff in favor of the al
lied countries. agreements regarding
the operation OF merchant marines:

onies OF the allied countries, internal
tionalization OF the laws governing

related subjects.
Socialistic Measures.
Two years ago such an ambitious pro-
gram Of international federation and
unification could have come from no
body less visionary and impractical than
an international socialist conference,
but today. under the stress OF necessity
imposed by war conditions. governments
and people that formerly were most
strenuoiisly opposed to socialism are
frankly adopting many Of its measures
It Is not safe to conjecture where the

The suggestion OF a tariff union

be aimed primarily against Germany.

Spreading the News" by Lady
Gregory, the mother" of the modern
Irish dramatic movement, is the most
openly humorous one of the three one
act plays. Free from elaborate scenic
effects, it depends largely upon its dia-
logue and the effectiveness with which
the Irish brogue is handled by the cast.
Miss French, who has this play in
charge, is especially insisting that the
Celtic characteristics of speech be not
overdone. The juniors cast for
spreading the News are. Magistrate,
Ronald Wood; Policeman, Tom Lom-
mason; Jack Smith, Will Bonneville;
Bert Fallon, Oscar Knudson; Shawn
