states the case differently, though he
leaves something to be desired in the
assertion that the tax should be as
sessed entirely upon ability to pay"
Of course, it must. To assess those
unable to pay would defeat the end in
view. The government must have
money. But to take it from the rich
simply because they have it and can be
despoiled would be setting a dangerous
precedent; and there are times when
dangers should be avoided when pos
sible. The unavoidable supply is large
enough.
The rich. the well-to-do and the poor
should all be assessed according to their
ability to pay That is democracy ap-
piled to taxation. All enjoy the pro-
lection of the government, and all
should pay for the protection enjoyed.
This whole question bears an aspect
now very different from the one it bore
in early April. when the House first took
note of it. That is to say, there is fuller
and clearer appreciation now of the size
and extent of the governments money
engagements. They are very large, and
must be met; and as they can be met
equitably, Congress should address it
self to that end in spirit of friendship
for all the interests involved.

Neutrals and the Embargo,

Protests by neutral nations of north
Europe against the American embargo
will not avail to prevent the shutting
off of supplies from them unless they
are accompanied by positive proof that
heretofore supplies have not been fur
nished to Germany from those coun-
tries. 1t is positively known that dur.
ing the past three years there has been
large trade between the four North
sea neutral states and Germany. 1t is
also confidently believed, in fact it is
virtually proved by statistics, that much
of the material sold to Germany by those
states was imported from America; in
other words. that this country was. in
effect, selling to Germany by way of
European neutral transshippers. And as
long as the United States was not at war
with Germany there was no reason
against this traffic. Now that this coun-
try is at war it cannot tolerate ship
ments to the enemy in the guise Of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-07-30

trade with neutrals. If the four North
sea countries suffer from the American
embargo it is because of their traffic
with Germany during the past thirty
six months.
1t has been suggested that there was
danger of driving Sweden into alliance
with Germany by putting embargo pres
! sure upon her now. 1t would be unfor-
tunate if the perfectly justifable Ameri-
can measure Of self-protection had this
result, particularly unfortunate for
Sweden. But the United States must
consider first its own food needs, next
the food needs of its allies, and finally
the food needs of the neutral states, and
in all this consideration care must be
taken not to supply Germany with nee
essaries from American farms and mills
The neutrals now complaining of the
embargo are paying the price of their
profitable trade of three years. and have
no equitable ground for protest unless
they can convincingly establish that they
have been maligned by the charge of
keeping Germany supplied with Ameri-
can goods.

Germany and Peace.

Chancellor Michaelis in a statement
issued from Berlin makes a great TODD
over alleged aims of France and Eng
land for the conquest of Germany as
the basis of the peace terms that the
entente will force upon Berlin and
Vienna. He indicates the possession of
information regarding a secret meeting
of the French chamber of deputies at
which such terms were discussed, and
declares that his recent speech in the
reichstag and the resolution adopted by
that body imply specifically that the
enemy must renounce all idea of con-
quest. This means merely that Germany
now stands ready for peace by negotia-
ton.
If the present war is ended by peace
on terms which are dictated in whole
or in part by Germany it will have been
fought in vain, for such peace will not,
cannot, be lasting. There can be no last
ing peace if Germany energies from this
war without having been beaten into a
realization that it cannot force its con-
cepts of government upon the world,
that it cannot with impunity violate
treaties or international obligations !;
that it cannot break all the laws of hui
manity by ruthless, barbaric methods of
warfare.
Recently it was set forth in the course
of foreign dispatches that proof was at
hand that the Austrian demands upon
Serbia were approved in Berlin by the
kaiser July 5, 1914, at conference at
tended by Germany's highest officials, at
which it was agreed that Germany was
ready for the general war which such
demand by Austria would presumably
precipitate. If this is true-and there
is no reason in the light of events to
doubt it-Germany deliberately began
this conflict and incurred the sole re-
sponsibility for it. That every move in
the game was carefully planned is plain
including the violation of Belgium and
probably including ruthless submarine
warfare as a measure of offense in Ger
tain contingencies.
1t is idle to discuss the possibility of
peace that will not penalize Germany
in some manner for the aggressions she
has committed, the injuries she has in
ficted, the outrages she has committed.
Her own losses will not be a sufficient
punishment. The people of this country
will not tolerate peace terms that do
not restore Belgium's integrity and so
far as now remains possible her physical
conditions. Restrictions to the full must
be the foundation stone of peace Rep
arations should be the second essential
But beyond these specific requirements
and penalties the peace of the world
demands that Germany shall be deprived
of the power of waging another war as
soon as her resources may have been re-
organized, her energies recouped and her
people once again educated to the point
of believing that Germany is the center
of civilization, her government a model
for the world, and her culture panacea
for the ills of humanity. e.

The Revenue Question.
This is from a news story:


Convinced that the changes in the
revenue bill now before the Senate
finance committee are in the main I'M
just 10 almost all except the wealthy,
democratic House leaders are preparing
vigorous assault on the measure"
The bill as it passed the House was
unjust to everybody, the wealthy in
cluded-so much SO that popular criti-
cism halted il in the finance committee,
and influenced the committee to under
take revision of the measure. The
work is not yet completed, but will be
in few days, and then the Senate will
take up the revised measure for debate.
If the House leaders vigorously as
sault the Senate's changes in the bill
the Senate will probably reply, and thus
the whole question of the emergency
revenue will be opened afresh. It is a
large question, and the emergency the
most pressing the country has ever
known.
In an interview Mr. Kitchin says:
This is n war of democracy, we in
'sist, and hence its expenses should be
met by a democratic tax. The only pos
siblc way TO levy democratic tax is to
base it entirely upon ability to pay"
A difficulty encountered at the outset
grew out of charge that the war was
the work of the rich, and hence that the
rich should finance it. Mr.. Kitchin
