Ircland'S Problem Again

a GAIN the shadow of the Irish problem
a Is thrown over allied hopes. The world
had looked to Lloyd George to settle this
ditiicult and complicated question, but he ap-
pears TO he having no more success than AS
ouith had. His policy, denounced by a critic
as one OF waiting and seeing" does not seem
to differ essentially from the much-abused
method OF the preceding administration.
lie is willing to give home rule to those
parts Of Ireland which desire it, but he will
rot force 1t on a reluctant Ulster. The Ma
tionaiists. on the contrary. insist ~on a united
Ireland. enjoying legislative and other au-
ionomy.
1t Is difficult to understand. from this dis
lance. the utter muddle that for centuries
England has made OF Irish affairs. Religious
difterences and ealty expressions were the
basis OF mutual hatreds, and these hatreds
have been accentuated by continuing religious.
political. industrial and educational conflicts.
hut despite these known facts. English failure
is still nearly incompreiensible. The British
colonial policy has been notably far-sighted
and benevolent; IL is only III Ireland that so
tragic a breakdown has resulted.
We have believed in the certainty of LLOYD
Georges success in Ireland. not merely be-
cause in the past he has shown himself we'll
disposed toward ireland and very DESTROYS
OF helping her, but for the larger reason. in
the political aspect, that the settlement of
this vcxed problem is essential to British
ioItiSu IoilCS.
Britain is III this war. avowedly. at any
rate. as the champion and protector of small
nations. She has claimed this distinction for
hcrseli on many different occasions. The
rights and wrongs OF Belgium. Serbia. Poland
and Roumania have been often on tho lips
Of her responsible statesmen. In her state
ment OF war aims, justice for the little peoples
is included as a condition which cannot be
withdrawn or modified.
Under such circumstances. British failure
TO clcsc the breach which British stupidity
has dug is the more deplorable. An au-
tcnoiaons Ireland. with Ulster left out. prob
ably is an economic and industrial impossi-
hility, as we'll rs a political menace and peril.
Despite a prosperity greater than has ever
been known. Ireland is more bitter than ever
agains' England, the stern and merciless pun
lshlncnt OF participants III the recent unhappy
rebellion having added TO discomfort.
This is a task for a great statesman. Had
Lloyd George accomplished it. he would have
written his name high on fame's page by this
act alone. Perhaps he has not yet failed.

use OF black troops by the allies, but does

N porations and soventy-onc individuals
engaged in the business Of producing and
selling coal by the Federal grand jury in
New FORK seems To locate a most fragrant vio-
lation OF the antitrust laws. but the evidence
upon which the indictments are based being
largely eN parte, its sutliciency To convict
remains to be tested by open trial III the
courts.
1 However the radical advance in the prices
OF coal by the accused can hardly be justified
by the law OF supply and demand, and the
presumption of unlawful combination TO ex-
tort unfair prices from consumers stands out
SO glaringly as TO be justly provocative OF
public indignation at the exhibition of in
ordinate greed that secretly, but not the less
sdefantly, haunts the law in the face.

Excess Profits Tax

HERE was much opposition to the excess
l profits tax law. which has Just been
signed by the President and is now. in effect.
but we suspect. nevertheless. that business in
Richmond and elsewhere in the South will
find II possible to survive.
The tax is imposed on the net earnings OF
corporations and partnerships in excess of
so.oop, plus S per cent of the actual capital
invested. \ corporation or partnership.
therefore,, with a capital of 500 900 NAV
make IL per cent. net. before il becomes sub
lect TO the tax. while a corporation or partner
ship with 100000 capital enjoys an cxemp-
non or 10 IL per cent. In the latter case. If
the net earnings are $4,000. the actual pay-
ment on account of this tax would he sl.5oO
This is figured out as follows: the exemption
is $4,000 plus S per cent of $500. 900. which
is $4,000. making a total OF S21. 900. The
excess profits subject TO tax arc $4,000. At
the prescribed rate Of s per cent. this gives
$3.50.
The Law provides for a rather sweeping
system or returns. based on the old income
TAX regulations affecting corporations. 1t is
dificult to understand. hv the way, WHY an
individual should be ~ npt from this tax
ana d partnership have to pay il. There can
be very little reason in that distinction.
