Mass feeding is projected in Berlin,
It seems, which rouses- the Taegliche
Rundschau to violent protest:
What are we to eat? AS II existing
conditions were not bad enough signs
are now evident the food difficulties

Little by little the popular belief is
spreading in Berlin that this will be
arranged according to preconceived
official plan to mold the population in
to acceptance Of the mass feeding pro-
posals.
I'VE respectfully but theoretically
ask authorities to spare us from such
schoolmaster drill tactics. Let them
tell us honestly what they want Of US
and we shall yield to the inevitable
as we have already yielded to SO many
! privations. Unreasonable hardships,
however, no noble heart will bear, not
even the noble and patient heart Of
the German people.
THE conditions in Berlin have be-
come utterly unreasonable during the
last few days-unreasonable and in
tolerable. Would that we could for
once take a lesson from the Ameri-
cans and lynch few of the bureau

NO ALLIANCES SOUGHT

Foreign Minister Balfour assures our people that the
purpose Of the visit of himself ana his COLLEAGUES to the
United States 10 not to enter into any formal alliance with
this country.
This statement is doubtless due in part to Mr.. Bal
tours recognition Of the sentiment which has always sx-
listed In this country against unnecessary and entangling
alliances with European powers. That sentiment Is
natural and logical. In the beginning Of our history its
proper application was much broader than It can be now.
Our country was then remote in every sense from every
other. Its chief business was with the development Of
the vast virgin territory which it controlled rather than
with the political controversies Of another continent.
Time has changed many Of these conditions. Meth
DDS of transportation have been so improved that tho At
lantic has become a link rather than a barrier. Com
nlunication has been speeded up so that Ne are aware
of what is going on in distant countries as quickly as Of
events next door. Our population has become 10 vast, our
industries so varied, our needs and our facilities 80 great,
that our contact with all other nations has become close
ana frequent. Whatever may have been the possibilities
of the past, we can no longer hold ourselves aloof from
the rest Of the world. We are q part Of the world, and
we must play our part In It. Nevertheless. We prefer to
play that part on q basis "a Independent as possible.
Mr.. Balfour doubtless realizes. also, that In this case
formal written undertakings arc unnecessary. With or
without documentary evidence Of the fact, We are now
in alliance with the other democracies Of the world for
the purposes of this war, We cannot escape that fact.
Between these powers and ourselves there is an Identity
of purpose which demands unity Of action, and which
would make any other course suicidal. Our ultimate
purpose is the same. That purpose is to establish human
rights on a sure foundation for all time. And the i'm
mediate means by which this end is to be attained is the
same with them as with US, namely, the military defeat
VI germany ana the powers associated with her in her
unholy enterprise. For the accomplishment Of that pur-
pose 1t matters not what factory produces the cannon and
the shell. nor whose hand aims the gun, SO long as the
shell finds its mark in a German trench. Every foot Of
territory won from the Germans in northern France now
means a foot less territory to be conquered after our own
men have actually taken their places on the battlefield.
Along a thousand miles Of front, French, British, Rus
sian and Belgian soldiers ase today Aghtng In our battle.
The guard which is maintained night and day in the
North Sea by Britain's mighty feet protects our own
snores as we'll as the shores Of England from being raw
aged by German %squadrons.
There is among these nations an alliance 50 over
whelmins in its imperativeness as to render FORMAL
treaties concerning it needless. And the United States
has become, from the very necessities Of the case, a full
participant in the war.

CONTROL OF PRICES

One economic development that is certain to be
haseensd by tho events of the war is that of the gov
eminent regulation Of the prices of commodities.
AZ a necessity of war prices are regulated In all
European countries. and the work is done by the gov
eminent with iron drnness. We are likely to see some-
thing Of tho same sort in this country before the war
to adopt the principle and work out the details at our
leisure than to be compelled, when the actual need has
arisen. to go at the subject in a haphazard way.
And when the war Is over, there will, almost to a
certainty, remain some of the features of this work
which have been tried out under the stress of war. We
have tried to regulate prices by enforced competition.
We have failed. We have broken up great corporations
into little fragments. and the fragments, under tho Same
ownership as before, continue cheerfully to charge all
that the traffic will bear.
The futnity of this has been SO thoroughly demon
strated that it Is amazing that we still cling to 1t. The
government must, presently, exercise a supervision over
the business Of dealing in commodities identical in prin-
ciple, though differing, doubtless, in method, with that
which 1t exercises over the transportation business
through the interstate commerce commission.
The government must be prepared. when there is
evidence that prices are arbitrarily being forced up or
be prepared to act promptly and with certainty. 1t must
not be compelled to await an act of congress before it
inquiries into the reasons why shoes, and gasoline, and
a number Of other things, are selling at prices which,
to the suffering consumer. at least, appear to bear no re-
lation to supply or the cost Of production. 1t must do
many things which will be quite inconvenient for a good
many people, but which will tend to establish something
like a basis Of equity in our scheme Of living.

New York. April 27.-seventy-hve
billion dollars for war! This gisan-
tic sum, overwhelming to the most
active. imagination. may yet be pro-
duced by. the American people to
crush Prussian militarism, should 1t
require such a weight Of wealth, &C.
cordins to Milton W. Harrison, Soc
rotary Of the savings bank section Of
the American Bankers association.
He believes the people OF the United
States car dig down and eventually
pile up this treasure for war against
Germany: To do it they would have
only to show in proportion the STAN
ina displayed by the British people.
His conclusions make the govern
n.ent's initial loan of $1,000, 900, 900
seem comparatively simple.
Mr.. Harrison, in his Official apac-
ity, has devoted much time to study
Of the savings interests Of the country.
