WHAT CAN WE DO?

The President has cut his honey
moon short and is expected in Wash
ington to-day TO take personal charge
of he grave situation provoked by
the sinking of the British steamship
Persia. with which Consul McNeely
went down to a watery rave. The
loss Of this American is supposed TO
strengthen the position we have taken
with regard to submarine warfare.
While it is deplorable that an Ameri-
a should have lost his life in this
manner, or that any innocent persons
should have suffered in like manner
what can this government do about it
n IL IL true. as asserted. the Persia
was armed. If she was armed. what
was she armed for. il not action when
attacked? II this fact is established
what can this government do but ac-
cept the submarines b%elligerent rights

The important consideration is how
to hold our share OF these large in

pend. OF course. upon the energy and

%tunities opened up are followed. There
Is one thing certain II we expect. after
the war, to retain any considerable
share OF the European market for
manufactures. our products must be
sold at prices as low as those pro-
duced by the cheaper labor of that
continent. not through a cheapening
Of our own rates of labor. but by high
or efficiency Of machinery. reduction
Of waste and greater economies OF pro-
duction and distribution. But the re-
newal OF European competition will re-
quire more than that for the protec-
tion OF the American manufacturer
and the American laborer. II will de
mand the application OF protective
tariff rates and the resumption Of the
great economic policies which the Re
publican party alone stands for.

force legislation on the matter Of pre-
paredness without information. This
is a complete reversal OF the former
"pitiless publicity policy Of the New
Freedom. Obviously it will seriously
impair the support of the proposed de-
ministration leaders propose to close
TO Congress one of the most important
sources Of information bearing upon
national defense. Orders have been
issued that army officers with views
upon national preparedness must re-
frain from discussing them with or be-
for members OF the military commit
tees OF the House and Senate. II the
administration program OF prepared
ness is for defense Of the country and
not defense OF the Democratic party at
the 1916 polls. this order muzzling the
officers OF the army. especially those
OF the general STAFF, must be regarded
as a grave error.
II is not likely that the Republican
minority will patiently submit to n
secretive policy in connection with
one OF the most important pieces Of
legislation ever undertaken in this
country. Representative Kahn. OF the
House Military Affairs Committee, re-
CARDS the matter in a very serious
light. In an interview he makes a
telling point in insisting that accurate
information Is the one essential for
the intelligent enactment Of any legis-
%lation. and that II is doubly important

national defense program. dealing a.

What Is wanted for American
foreign trade TO come into its own
at the end OF this war is not more
regulations. more official informa-
ton or artificial stimulus of any
kind. but freedom-real freedom
TO work out its own salvation. Free
shipping. free from all restrictions
except those Of safety and COM
mon humanity: free railroads. free
TO meet the exporter half way with
special rates. Increased facilities
and international bills OF lading
for exports to any part OF the
world: free manufacturers, free TO
combine TO such an extent IL ne
cessary that an entire industry
can be merged into a single con
Germ for the purpose of putting
American goods into the first
place In the worlds markets.
Let the reformsrs wreak their
vengeance upon our industries at
home II they must, these industries
are protected by the tariff and
in other ways; but we must never
forget that American goods sent
abroad meet in competition the
goods of all other nations as soon
as they pass the three-mile limit
from u shores. beyond which the
tariff does not protect. and the
sherman antitrust law cannot
reach the English. German. Aus

The English and German bust
q system are as different as
the racial characteristics and tenn
permanent OF the two peoples. With
all the apparent Indifference to the
announcement of foreign trade
the parliament OF Great Britain
never enacts a law that restricts
the efforts of the individual. With
all the laws and regulations which
guide the German citizen in his
daily and community life from the

American nation wne the bulk of

and soon there would be nothing
left of American foreign commerce
except the same kind OF an ex-
port business enjoyed by Argen-
tina, Roumania. Serbia and other
grain and raw material producing
countries. In the wakes Of these

FOREIGN TRADE ANALYZED

dresses made before the American As

that Of Mr.. c. p. Austin. statistician
of the foreign trade department of the
National City Bank, Of New York.
The value Of Mr.. Austin's observations

remembered that he was for many
years chief Of the government Bureau
OF Statistics al Washington. The chief
interest in Mr.. Austin's figures are

stumbled alone up the short, steep

he could find no other word. Unfas-

her hands to his lips, then buried his
face in her lap as he knelt before her.
The suspense, the dread she would
