through the Popes mediation, a just and
lasting peace"
The Tribune, following the first an
nouncement, preferred to reserve judgment
until opportunity to peruse with care the
actual Papal document was afforded but
observed:
eve shall all of us examine the Papal
document with the eager hope that the terms
which il proposes are terms that VIII bring
peace back to the world-peace which is not
an illusion; peace which is not a truce; but
peace which is a permanent blessing. But
we cannot after these three terrible years
hermit anything but the solid facts to weigh.
We have had one illusion after another
crushed in the mud and agony OF the
trenches. We have seen one convention aIter
another founded on doctrines Of humanity
shattered against the blood and iron OF Ger
man policy"

THOR AN American, the most dramatic and

parade of American troops through the streets
of London, This is the first time American
troops have ever landed in Europe on mill

They were reviewed by the King, embraced
by the people and fairly overwhelmed with
emotional appreciation. It is impossible not

sallow, thin-lpped set-jawed, they impressed
everybody as doors rather than dreaners,
men of few words, who look you straight IN
the eye, take your measure at glance, give
you their opinion in a rough epigram and then
get to business. They are distinct set OF
men of a definite type, not Canadian not
Australian. not New Zealander, but in the

In the same place Charles Edward Russell,
the Socialist, who left his party because OF
its un-Americanism and went as member OF

The government in its efforts to suppress
disioyal and reasonable publications has so
far been baffied by the tenderness of the law
toward those who seek refuge in the consti-
tutional guarantees of free speech. The
offenders are shrewdly and competently adj
vised in the law. They know how to incite
passionate resistance and inhame human
emotions against war measures without actu-
ally advising that any one shall break the

private traders are immoral or greedy, but
because private traders acting individually
have no way in which to conserve the supply
or diminish the demand. except 10 increase
prices, and then we have the historic COM
plant that prices so up while there is yet no
scarcity The average person has never been
able to see why so long there was enough
of a thing to go around even in diminished
quantity the price of it should double or
treble. But, under conditions of unrestricted
buying and selling there is never any other
way of making sure that there will be enough
of a reduced commodity TO go around than to
raise the price to point at which waste viii
begin to abate itself.
For instance, IS per bushel for wheat
would stimulate production and at the same
time enormously reduce consumption, there
by serving a vital economic purpose. But on
the other hand, the price Of S. per bushel
for wheat would be great hardship on the
people. 1t is much better that the govern
ment should come in, and, on the one hand,
stabilize the price at point which does
Justice TO the producer of wheat, and, on the
other, so regulate consumption that there Will
be enough to 90 around. That is what the
government is attempting to do with wheat
IL will attempt to do the same with coal. One
result of this socializing of necessary COM
modities will be in some measure to arrest
the progress of money imitation which takes
place when a government borrows enormously
and spends lavishly on the enterprise of war.

New Economics

ON AUGUST 25th, for the first time since
~ the beginning of the present economic
order. wheat futures will not be bought and
sold in the grain pit at Chicago. A wheat
future is a contract to buy or sell for future
delivery. 1t is the instrument of speculation.
To abolish dealing in futures means prac-
ticallv to abolish speculation. The function
Of sneculation in wheat has been. as the trade
,sould saw. to absorb, carry and distribute the
crop. To abolish speculation (Which with all
ia evils has performed a certain economic
function) without putting something in place

tellgent and perhaps disastrous
Fortunately, Hoover, the food administrator

must not only be restoration of territory
and Of complete and unquestioned sovereignty
over the land restored to their peoples, but
there must also be a full and complete
restoration for damage done"
1.-THE Journal of Commerce" finds that:
"There is nothing in this sudden outgiving
from the Vatican that gives ground for seri-
Gus discussion of possible peace terms at the
present time"
But "The New York Times" sees in it
an opening for peace negotiations. 1t
writes:
"The terms now proposed, it will be readily
seen, are not materially different from the
terms more than once proposed by Won
Bethmann- Holweg. They come now in form
from a source that permits and invites coun-
ter terms. The opportunity is open to the
Allies to set forth their own prelimnaries;

down the conditions of preliminary agree

antee for Europe and for the world that de-
mocracy is TO be safe"
1.-THE New York Evening Mail" con-
siders the Pope's peace move Of tremen-
dous Importance, interpreting it thus:
What the Vatican has now proposed to
the nations of the world is that ideal state
of organized peace which the President OF
the United States enunciated and defined for
all time in his historic address Of January
% 1t is the sort of ideal organized peace
which we entered this war to attain. What
America is now being asked to do is to agree
10 her own terms of settlement as basis
for discussing the ending of the war. IL
Germany can be forced to accept these terms,
which are defeat of all aggressive aims,
all hope of material advantage from the
millions Of lives vainiy sacrihced-then
America will have won the war, and won it
along the lines that she herself conceived
Not so "The Evening Sum-" Seeing no
hope for peace, it writes:
"The Pope's peace programme is impossi-
BILE. It provides neither penalty for the
criminal in the war nor future security for
the victims. The intent Is sublime, but the
details are fallacious. The war must go on
to its legitimate end, the overthrow of i'm
perial ambition and military ruthlessness."
The "New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung' sees
in the Papal action encouraging indica-
tons and reasons as follows:
"The Vatican has taken this most impor-
tant step One may see therein a reflex OF
the longings for peace which undoubtedly
prevail among the peoples OF Europe. The
belligerent governments will scarcely be
able to ignore the proposal Of the Pope; they
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-08-19

other press in the world, is more positive.
The "Tribuna" holds that the Pope's peace
rronosal was made on his own independent
Initiative. while the "Giornale d'ltalla'
saws that the appeal is the most Impressive
ord the most concrete ever addressed to the
warning nations. This latter paper con-
tinues:
"Tbe explicit terms in which the note is
u,orded lead to the supposition that the IN
tontions of the two bellgerent groups are
M, in absolute conflict with the ideas ana
homes Of the Pope"
"Tbe New York Globe" calls the pro-
nosal pro-Ally. In its first comment II
reflects:
"Tbe Pope's peace plan restates as far as
II goea that which President wilson pro
nosed when this country entered the war ne

"The New York Evening Post pleads
thus for consideration:
"It ia but just that the rope
