Naval Initiative.

The noisy speakers in the forum
have been shouting German eff
cheney" at us so long that we have
forgotten there is such a thing as
american efficiency.
1t would have seemed wild social
ism. even two years ago, for the
American navy to contemplate the
communicating of private shipbuild-
ing yards and steel plants as an
emergency measure. A thousand paid
advocates of private interest would
have risen to denounce the plan as
Infamous confscation and an illegal
invasion of property rights. Corpora
ton interests, corporation lawyers,
would have banded together the
length and breadth of the land to
villify and overthrow the administra-
ton that dared propose so socialistic
a measure.
Today that same program is not
only proposed, but regarded as so
commonplace a matter of national
protection as to attract little more
than casual notice in the press. 1t is
true the shipyards will not be COM
mandeered unless necessary. But Con-
gress has provided the specific power,
and the navy is determined to speed
up" its building program to a point
where it can rival European records
along the same line. Secretary Dam
iels is telling shipbuilders what he
wants, telling the masters of labor
what he wants. telling the makers Of
steel and equipment what he wants.
They will give it to him II they are
wise. They may have to forego a
lot of "fat" contracts and easy profits
to do so, but We are constrained to
believe they will forego them after a
few days reflection, even though the
patriotic impulse does not at first
move them,
The threats and peril of war hang
ing over the country are bringing
about mighty domestic changes under
DUR eyes. and we are too busy to no
tice them. The process of industrial
nationalization-which would have
taken the better part of a generation
under the easy and haphazard meth
DDS of internal agitation-has been
stimulated to a point hardly credible
since the break with Germany. Here
is one by-product of the existing
emergency which again illustrates the
great good fortune of the United
States. We are learning much. If not

The Street Car Situation.

About this time last year the people
of Washington tasted in a small mea-
sure the fruits of labor strike when
the employees of the street railways
walked out for several days. The
situation did not become acute at
the time and slight discomfort was
the only suffering occasioned.
The same condition which brought
about the strike last year again faces
the employees and the two street
railway companies, and the people
of the city are beginning to wonder
if this second disagreement will be
more serious than the first.
But the chances favor an amicable
settlement, the same as was effected
last year. The company officials OF
both roads have signffed their in
tentions of meeting representatives
of the men today, when both sides
will be heard. There is ample room
between the demands of the employees
and the propositions Of the companies
FIR a satisfactory settlement and it
is to be hoped that today's confer
ences will end with both sides in
agreement on basis of terms

A N0NPARTIsAN CABINET,

We are not distrusting any members Of
the present Cabinet nor questioning the
competency OF the Democratic party to
furnish brains enough TO run the gov
ernment But in times like these a strict
ly party government Is out of place. and
It is easy to think of individuals not in
the party or even in politics who would
greatly strengthen the government II call
ed into its service or into confidential
consultation on special occasions.
We should say for instance. that our
two ex-Presidents were entitled to such
selections: and we have no doubt that
they would both give loyal aid to Presi-
dent Wilson in this emergency. Mr.
Roosevelt would be just the man to be
put at the Job of recruiting a new army.
He would rouse as much enthusiasm for
national service as Kitchener did in
England, and he could raise as big a
force that would match "Kitchener's
army" and probably be nicknamed as
the '"TRmy."
Henry Ford. who has been sneered at
as fanatical pacifist. has set an ex-

zimmermann's Treachery.

The United States is indebted to
Herr Zimmerman, German foreign
secretary, for the knowledge that the
Mexican-Japanese plot note was writ
ten in a special German cryptosraph; ;
that "black treachery' and foul per-
fidy must have been employed to re-
veal it to the American government;
that Germany, having been caught
red-handed in an act Of turpitude, has
no excuses to offer, no apologies to
make.
II was unkind of the American Sc
cret Service to decipher highly con-
hdential document never intended for
our eyes; "treachery" on the part of
some wretehed soul to bring to the
sunlight the fact that Germany, pro-
Tossing friendship for this nation, ap-
plauding the President for a peace
move that was interpreted every
where as distinct aid to German
plans, was ready to knife us if we
protested her marine murder policy;
unfortunate that German subterra-
mean diplomacy should be subjected to
the derision and excoriation of the
world.
We acknowledge all these things.
We blush with shame to think that
our government even had the initia-
tive to ferret out malignity Of the
kind that devised the Mexican lunaey;
that we dared to pit our wits against
the German secret service and the
spy system; that we have done a lit
tie bit of rude, unethical, unprofes-
sional eavesdropping in exposing the
choicest of the "folIies of 1917"
However, it's done now. We are
properly rebuked by Herr thinner
mann. Obversely, the little group of
willful men" in the Senate is properly
commended by the Taglichc Rund-
sbau, the mouthpiece of the German
foreign office, and the case is COM
plete.
There is one thing to be said for
the esteemed Zimmerman. At least
he did not lie about it Perhaps kul-
tur does not think it necessary to lie
about little job that Judas Iscariot
would have been proud Of.
