DISMAL PICTURE DRAWN.
FOrGermany of a Peace Without In
creased Power and AnnexatiOns.

(By Associated Press
Amsterdam, July ia writer in
the Junker organ Kreuz-Zeitung of
Berlin draws a dismal picture of the
consequences to Germany of a peace
without Increased power and annexa
tons: He says: "Seeing that after
the natural exhaustion of such a giant
war, Germany could not soon contem-
plate a fresh struggle, Great Britain
and America would think, after a
S~cheideman peace, they could treat
Germany as they liked. In other
words an Anglo-American world do
mination would be firmly established
and Germany itself would be regarded
as a second rate power, Great Brit
ain thereby in reality attaining its
wal aim.
Belief in unlimited military and
maritime superiority by Britain and
North America would henceforth DOM
mate the world. But a reaction,
through an unsatisfactory peace, on
our internal political life would be the
question to be earnestly asked
what have we really fought for, why
have so many Germans fallen, so many
been crippled, why these giant taxes,
this ruined German welfare? The
ground is then prepared for disin-
tegrating social democracy"

FREE RUSSIA AND IMMIGRATION.

In the discussions on immigration to Amer
lea after the war, little thought has been here.
tofore given to the influence of a free Russia with
democratic institutions.
Immigrants were drawn to America during the
past century by theprospect of cheap land and the
promise of liberty. These were the twin attrac-
tons which brought millions from the crowded,
monarchical countries of Europe to the great new
republic across the Atlantic.
In those days the United States had no COM
petitor.
{. After the war, if democratic government in
Russia is firmly established-if high ideals of lib
erty and equality are held up to the world-what
will be the effect upon immigration to this coun-
try?
Russia has vast territories awaiting cultiva-
ton, millions upon millions of acres. Thu tend
ency of the new government is to open these lands
to the people.
Russia is next door to the crowded European
Russia, so close at hand, with land in plenty
awaiting the settler, with institutions as free as
ours, if not freer-Russia may very well cut into
our tide of immigration. She may in any event
be a serious competitor.

A LAND TAX NEEDED.

For years Denmark has experimental with
plans for building up a class of small landed
'proprietors. The result has been to boom land
values; with the result that persons assisted by
low interest rates found their savings in interest
more than eaten up in the increased price of land.
As usual, the Spectator stepped in and made sure
of his %pickings, and they were substantial.
The Danish legislators have countered, how.
ever, by what is in effect a tax on land values
Such a tax hits the speculator, forces vacant lane
into real use land helps to secure for a country
that most valuable asset, a class of small land.

At a time when more production is needed
with three-year war in prospect, a tax on land
values might force a great deal of land held for
speculative purposes into useful production, be.
sides adding materially to the revenue.

AUTOS RELIEVE RAILROADS..

Extensive use of the automobile for touring
purposes has done a very "big bit" by relieving
the railroads of the necessity of providing as
much transportation facilities for passengers as
formerly and thus enabling them to take off a
certain number of passenger trains and utilizing
the locomotives in freight service, thus relieving
the freight congestion that has worried the nation
for the past six months.
There is no doubt in the least that as a tour
ing vehicle the automobile will eat even more
into the railroad business after the war; Our
national parks in the west are being visited by
thousands of persons, and it would be interesting
to learn the percentage that visit them by auto
mobile.
The gasoline carrier is opening up the country
more efficiently to tourists than the railroads ever
did, and it enables them to reach hooks and
CRANES that formerly were largely untouched.
