HEADLES DIPLOMACY

We have heard of secret diplomacy, and shirt-s3eeve
diplomacy. and several other kinds. Just now we are
witnessing something in the nature Of headless dipko-
macy.
Last winter our government dismissed the German
Ambassador, and the German government was left with
out an Official representative in this country. That is
also our situation in relation to Austria, with whom we
are not yet-a war. But there remains a German govern
mont and there is an Austrian government, with either
Of which We are at liberty to enter into negotiations Of
any kind. In each case the foreign government repre-
SCENTS the nation, and it is qualified to carry on the bus-
ness Of its nation with any other nation.
In our relations With Russia tho conditions arc re-
1ersed. There is in washington q Russian ambassador,
but the government which he is supposed to represent
has disappeared from of the face Of the earth. When
inston recognized the authority Of the provisional gov
ernment and matters between the two governments went
on without Interruption. The formal abdication Of the
car for himself and his son, and the abdication Of his
brother. which followed within a few days, gave some
regularity of standing to the provisional government, and
the new order of things was accepted without question
by the Russian ambassador. But the provisional govern.
ment has subsidized, and its place has been usurped by a
commission of Bolsheviki. The Russian ambassador has
notified our state department that he does not recognize
the authority Of this commission. He is therefore pro-
ceedins ION his own" an ambassador without a govern!
ment. One would imagine that an official under these
conditions would find his position a peculiar one.

THE WAR AND c CAPITALIZATION

The most revolutionary step in the history of trans
portation has just been taken. The federal government,
through its war board, has decided to take over inmedi-
ately the operation of all the railroads east Of Chicago,
and to unite these roads, for operating purposes, into one
gigantic system. And this step has been taken quite calm
~ and as a matter of course. So does war make COM
monplace things which, under peace conditions, would be
regarded as impossible by a very large proportion of our
people, and which, if decided upon at all, would be I'M
dertaken only after long discussion.
1t has often been said that we are slow to realize that
the nation is at war. 1t is true that full realization has
not come to all of us. But when, in a nation such as ours,
where the spirit Of individualism has been stronger than
anywhere else on earth, the people have accepted quietly
within eight months the assumption by the government
Of control of matters which have heretofore been con-
trolled absolutely by individuals and regulated according
to their own tastes to the extent that has characterized
the activities Of our government Of late, it is evident that
beneath the surface, and underlying what appears to
be indifference concerning many details, there is a very
substantial and effective recognition of our changed status
and OF the fact that this change involves, of necessity, a
complete reversal of the attitude of the individual toward
tho government in many Of the most important relations
Of life,
Either through the direct order of the government
or by means Of recommendations which, for all practical
purposes, have the effect Of law, basic prices have been
fixed on wheat, steel and iron. copper and coal: orders
have been given relating to the distribution of fuel; max

industries; and now the government assume RESPONSE.

especially noteworthy.

A NEW
WORLD
(From Minneapolis Journal

Commercially =. and industrially 1t
will be q new world after the war.
Economic congresses and information
al agreements will register the
changes rather than themselves cause
transformations. Necessities of the
war will some of them produce great
er effects in the peace to follow than
they are occasioning now.
Germany will be out Of it for long
years to come. She will be barred out
by the animosities she has aroused, as
we'll as forbidden by her own inability
to participate. Her economic success
was based upon the advantages Bis
marck secured her when he forced
upon France a treaty that as good as
handed over to Germans whatever
French market hey wanted, and al
lowed German ownership and domi-
nance of French industries. A similar
Of 1905 made EsNnans privileged
sellers and .exploieersa I'm that vast EN-
pire. while Englabd's free trade pro-
vided Germany a most lucrative mar
ket, one, moreover, wherein her sur
plus could be dumped without fear of
reprisals.
These advantages will be ended for
Germany in the peace to be. Her
monopolies also will no longer be al
lowed. Her patents have been for
feited in hostile countries. Her dyes
are being reproduced by her compe-
titors. Sources of potash supply are
being opened.
Such actual and prospective losses
are concrete. But she has also to
reckon with the enormous ill-will Of
her victims n enemies, who will not
buy of her or sell to her, when they
can buy of another or sell to another.
And this ill-will which will be active
among Belgians. Frenchmen,. Italians
and British, will extend, passively at
least. throughout South America and
Asia. The United States will feel it,
too, the more acutely the longer the
val runs
The war will result for France and
Italy in the resumption of their COM
plete economic autonomy. Great
Britain besides will be the beneficiary
of an enormous stimulation Of her
whole life. Indeed. the war promises
to do for Britain. is already doing,
what the Napoleonic conflict did for
did for u own North and West, what
the Franco-Prussian war Of 1904
, did for Germany herself.
The British empire will emerge
from the struggle an entity. All its
parts will cooperate in a work of
rehabilitation and development. They
| will be necessary to n another as
never before, and united as we'll by
the memories and sentiments of a
great struggle.
AS for ourselves, the var has al
ready relieved US Of our debt to
Europe and made us Europe's credi-
tor. Already it has immensely ener-
gized us. We can imagine what an
other year or two Of it will accom-
plish for our Industries and COM
merce. The warahas changed our at
titude and psychology. We have
been a provincial people. we shall
come out of it m of the Powers Of
the ~orld-the greatest, perhaps.
The war has saved Japan financial
ly and provided her with the economic
chance that seemed denied her, de-
spite her best shrewdness and dill
gence. The war has supplied her the
capital to become a going commercial
concern.

LEGISLATIVE TWILIGHT

Now that the cases have been decided It may not
be amss to call attention, while the subject Is fresh, to
certain phases of the two federal court cases which have
just been tried IN Grand Forks. and which have attracted
wide attention. The law underlying each case has been
10 vorded that on very important particulars doubts have
existed in the minds Of the general public and of learned
lawyers as to what the law actually was, and it has been
neoaGzEy for Judges to study deeply in order to cecsde
points which should have been so plainly stated that no
doubt could have been entertained as to the meaning.
Tho first case was brought under what is known as
tho Mann white shave law. 1t is a matter of common
knowledge that this law is being used for purposes not at
was to prevent or punish by severe penalties that loath-
some traffic In which debased beings who may once have
been human, engage in supplying women to brothels. But
the supreme court, to which the case of Diggs and Cam
inetti was appealed. held that the wording of the law was
such that 1t must also apply to personal lapses into which
the eisment of commerce did not enter at all. Hence
that which was not intended to be the law has become
the law because sufficient care was not exercised in the
wordtng Of the statute.
The other casa, the brewery Gaze, depended on the
interpretation of a federal bone dry Law. Does that law
permit or prohibit the importation Of liquor into North
Dakota for personal use? Exactly opposite opinions have
been held on this point The district court has some
time ago held that such Importation is prohibited. But
should have been apparent on tho fact Of the law. pro-
vided tha4 were its real purpose.
While 1t is not possible to legis1ate in all cases in such
a manner that no mtsinterpretatton can arise, we are con-
SANITY being reminded by cases such as these that in
matters Of legislation too much is frequently taken for
granted, and we hnd that in some cases laws are being
used to take in subjects not contemplated when they were
passed, and in other cases that they fall short of what
they wore intended to accomplish.

DIFFERENT
THANKSGIVING
(From Minneapolis Journal.)
Let never day nor night unhallowed
pass,
But still remember what the Lord
hath done.

pass,
But still remember what the Lord
hath done.
Shakespeare Henry VI"
Many persons are reading again the
biblical prophecy-the words that tell
Of nation rising against nation" and
mems hearts failing them for fear
and for looking after those things
that are coming on the earth" And
at the Thanksgiving a this e
it is especially necessary that we dwell
longer than usual on the words at
the end Of this passage:
And when these things begin to
come to pass, then look up, and lift
up your heads; for your redemption
draweth nigh.
After the storm, the calm: after the
deepest darkness, the dawn. This is
ern earthly events. When things look
so bad that they cannot look. worse,
the chances are that the worst is al
ready passing. So that perhaps the
present Thanksgiving season demands
optimism n the remembrance Of
Francis Thompson's finely inspired
stanza:
But (when so sad thou canst not
CEy:-dHu upon tuy 50 SOTo loss
Shall shine the traffic of Jacobs
Pitched between Heaven and Char
ing Cross.
We must plunge below the surface
to find the real causes for thanksgiv-
ing this year. First and foremost
among them is that we live on a con-
tinent unsecured by the chariots Of
war. The fathers wrought out this
salvation for us by their sacrifices in
of extending the great Blooms of Sc
curity and liberty to other lands has
fallen to this generation, and the
burden has been taken up in the true
spirit. Fol this reason, we may give
thanks as we gather in u homes
this week to celebrate again the old
festival Of Thanksgiving.
The United States of America was
wrought out in blood and sacrifice.
of the nations, we seem to be within
measurable distance of a United
States of the World, a confederation
of peoples and races by which wars
may be made to cease and a new era
ushered in. This is no longer an i'm
possible ideal, a poets dream merely.
The machinery that may bring 1t
about is already in motion.
Let us as the poet says "cry'' to
God in thanksgiving as we'll as in Pc
tition, for over the worlds 80 sore
losses" dawns the vision splendid of
the possibility of a wider brotherhood
of nations and peoples than has been
deemed possible in our times. =.
Heavy demands have been made
this year upon the nations purse and
upon its heart, and we may we'll give
thanks that these demands have been
met at least in part, that there il 80
little wailing and 30 little opposition
to duty. The nation is united as never
before in its history.
1t will be a different Thanksgiving
from any we have known for at least
a half century. But the causes for
thankfulness are abundant and clear.
Let not the week nor day "unhal-
lowed pass"
But still remember what the Lord
hath DONE"

aided in cutting the prices Of their Own product IN twos
copper men did 1ikeWtsss manufactures; and meeuAanes
and business men generally have participated in the de-
cistons which have sca1ed down their prices and diminish
ID their profits. Now railroad men have taken an active
part In the transfer Of control Of their own property to
the government
Second, there is not the slightest evidence Of anxiety
on the part Of the general public that the federal govern
mnt may assume too great powers, that our government
may become too centralized. On the contrary, there Is
every manifestation Of willingness for the process to con-
tinue as long and as far as may be needed. Doubtless
this is quite natural in matters relating to price control.
for tho tendency Of such control is rather to reduce than
to advance prices and the general public may be consid-
erred chiefly as a consuming public when it approaches
the subject Of prices. But 1t is not alone in the matter
Of lower prices that the people appear to accept care
fully what at one time would have been considered an
unwarranted and dangerous invasion Of personal liber-
ties. In a measure never before considered possible our
government directs us what to eat, and burn, and wear.
In . very sppreciab1e manner our acts are circumscribed
by government control. And instead Of being urged to
stop the government 10 urged to 60 on.
There are many highly important details Of the war
with witch we have not yet been brought into contact.
But whom w get right down to the bottom Of things We
find abundant evidences that our people are regarding
the wr soberty and earnestly. and are prepared to adjust
Themselves to its needs and to contribute by their own
effort and their own sacrifice to the solution Of the prob
iens witch it presents.
