WHAT VICTORIOUS GERMANY WOULD MEAN

1t is Germany that has made it utterly impossible for any American
er in the New Republic brings out this idea SO wildly with its conse-
quences, that we can hardly refrain from contemplating it Here is
his presentation of the matter:
Imagine England at last forced to her knees, not by arms, for
that is impossible, but by the agony of universal starvation,
which may at least be conceived. Imagine that she has been
her colonial empire. Imagine SO much, and logic will force you
to go further. You will see, as night follows day, a plunge OF
Russian power into the circle of German influence. Russia can.
not stand alone; her western allies beaten into impotence, she
must stand with Germany. You will see Japan fitting herself
into the new scheme of German hegemony, reluctantly or with
alacrity, it does not matter, for until her own wealth and might
correspond with her ambitions Japan must make her arrange
ments with those who rule the seas. What would be the position
of the United States in such a world? We should wish, with
Jefferson, that a sea of fire parted us from the other continents.
For " e should not so soon win the Germans in their unexan-
pied might to a kindly view of our behavior in this war.
The truth is that by the force of circumstances the United States
has comet to regard a German victory under present conditions as an
impossible condition to be imposed upon the world. The only kind
of neutrality that would have satisfied Germany involved a policy that
would have made lis virtually her ally This we refused to concede.
Germany. after her victory, would treat us as as an enemy nation and
she might even exact from us, as a condition for Il s sharing in the
new peace of the world, an indemnity that might pay Gernanys war
debts and stagger us into poverty. This is one of the things that we
have to ponder in this country at the present time. The German sub
rsrine policy has forced us into a condition where we have no other
desire than the defeat of Germany in this whole war affair.

The tentative order made last week by the interstate commerce
commission, intended to adjust coast-to-coast and intermountain freight
rates, may finally lberate business of the west from a burden it has
borne a. a result of the inequality between local and transconhnental
rates. This time the federal :rate-making body takes the view that wa
ter competition is negligible and that coasttocoast rates must be modi-
fed accordingly In laying down a broad zone plan, under which the
REIMBURSEMENT is to be accomplished, the order apparently introduces
some elements of confusion, but the details ultimately may be ironed
out after some agreement is reached and the order is made definite.
In every way it is desirable that this long existing inequality in
the path Of business be removed. Almost since the time the trans
continental rail line was established the Pacific coast has enjoyed spe-
cial advantages on freight tariffs because of water competition, which
has been more or less hypothetical. Some ten years ago the so-caned
Spokane case, now usually referred to ast the internountain rate, at
tracted great attention because of the patent injustice under which the
interior cities labored. The partial adjustment then attained was again
disturbed when the Panama canal was opened and the railroads asked
for relief from anticipated conditions due to possibilities of transpor-
tation by water. The relief was granted, although the competition was
more apparent than real, and now the commission proposes to go back
to where it left off i'll the Spokane case and generally equaize freight
rates over a scope that is almost countrywide.
It will be well for business of all kinds when this matter is def
ntely determined, Sc that railroads and patrons alike will know what
to do. Business of all kinds requires stability and pernanence of
freight rates, and periodical upheavals are costly to everybody

A STRIKE

The Threatened railroad strike no longer threatens, but the peo-
pie have had another lesson they will long remember. There was
never anything in this railroad issue that could not have been arbitrated,
industry that ought not to be subject to arbitration The party to
any quarrel or difference who refuses arbitration discredns his cause
in advance. We may have other heads to crack than each Others, and
this is 10 time for internal blows.
This country suffered more than it probably yet knows through
the weakness OF congress and the surrender of a president eager for re-
election, when three railway brotherhoods held a stop-watch on them
and forced capitalization in the closing hours OF a political campaign. 1t
was discreditable first to the brotherhoods, second to congress and
third to the president. 1t was a national scandal that smeued to high
heaven and smells louder today than it did four mouths ago.
There wasn't a man in congress nor in the White House nor in the
brotherhoods who knew or even claimed to know the equities of the
case, comparing rates fixed by the government with the wages paid by
the roads, and every plea for time to find the equities, and every plea
to arbtrate was spurned. And after the law was passed the heads of
the brotherhoods had to admit to their own members, over their own
signatures. their inability to construe it. 1t went to the courts for
construction, and pending decision there, and in the face of a national
crisis, the strike order was renewed.
Yet why shouldn't it be? If surrender of the president and the
surrender of congress could be forced, why not the surrender of the
supreme court and the surrender of a nation facing war?
And now the people pay the bill, not merely in dollars and cents,
through an advance in rates, but they pay it in an infinitely harder
sense, in the surrender of their government and the surrender of the
transportation system of the entire country to a settlement under
duress, and while the country faces immediate participation in a world
this continent since the invasion of Belgium have not afforded to him
the reasons for rejoicing that he has found in the jockeying of the
transportation system OF the United States within the last week.

STILL EXPECTING INDEMNITIES

We are told that with the revival of the submarine policy there
was a revival of the hope of indemnites, on the part of the German
statesmen and people. This hope seems almost impossible OF behe1'
but we have it upon the assurance of one of the men who have re-
turned with Ambassador Gerard, who says that the bulk of the Ger
mans believe they re victors.
A German writer. George Bernhard, not Bernhard, however, says
.,t ;rde,,r;tec ,re = necesstv They must be had or Germany is
done for. Such are said to be his printed statements in the Plutus, 4
weekly paper printed in Berlin. He maintains that the huge war debts
mist be saddled on some one outside of Germany, France and Russia
o-sfarred for Eno1and seems to be too far off. The U-boats IRE being
held out IS the means of winning the victory to such a n extent that the
indemnities can be collected. 1t may also be presumed that now that
the United States has become involved this country may be thought OF
&c tbe oose to he plucked-and the American goose is fat and has
lots of feathers that might easily be pmcked if France and England
are first swept out of the way.

THAT COLOMBIAN BLACKMAIL

1t would have been bad enough and shameful enough to have
passed the Colombian treaty in a time of absolute peace, tor IN 1T la
analysis it is an acknowledgment on the part of the United States
that we acquired the Panama canal by theft and fraud. When, how
ever, we ratify under a threat this treaty we had previously refused
to ratfy on its presentation of facts, we submit to blaclmail m max
of ~ nation an object for the whole worlds contempt and scorn.
No man of sense will challenge the assertion that Theodore KooSe-
vets coup in the cae of the Panama canal was a distinct beneht to
the entire world. nor can it be denied that when this country settled
with Panama for the canal strip the money went to the correct and
proper destination. When, therefore, we pay the pirates OF Colombia
we repudiate President Roosevets most notable achievement for hi
manity and lavish the money of the American people in making an
unwarranted and unrighteous admission of national d1shonor. Inc
action is simply unspeakabe.

A MISFIT

When Professor Scott Nearing was kicked out of the University
OF Pennsylvania because of his I'M american uterances, he was taken
ND bv a lot of sentmentaiTs and it was not long before he was snugly
ensconced in a berth in Toledo University. And now he is out there
his bitter assaults on preparedness causing him to be denounced in
public by leading citizens as a traitor to the country. Nearing has
ALWAYS been a disturber and a bad actor, and the city or institution
that gives him a foothod states itself for trouble Incidentally, the
good people of Toledo are now willing to concede that the authorities
of the University of Pennsylvania were not so "inconsiderately brutal
as they once regarded them.

THE U-BOAT FATALITIES

According to the Dutch papers the Germans now have two l.
boats for each number, Sc that when one disappears the other is s1l
:, evidence This device is said to be used not only to fool the allies,
but to help keep up the spirits of the men who have to man such
boats, BY concealng the dangers and fatalities involved in such warfare.
That if is extremely hazardous and that it is not easy to get men
enonoh TO man them has been conveyed in various reports, or at least
rumors. and the Germans have offset such reports by statements to the
effect that they have more volunteers than they can use. n truth
will probably never be known, and too much credence should not be
Given TO the reports N either side. 1t must be accepted that the rea-
sons for Misrepresentation ire many. One British report, credited by
men who are supposed to know things, is to the effect that recently
two JLboats came into Falmouth harbor and surrendered. The men IN
them had killed their captains in order to complete the surrender.
Germanizing Mexico proceeds apace. according to reports

same as have some others.

MINES AND SUBMARINES

In 2 recent statement Senator Cunnnns confused British mines
,ur German submarines, leaving more confusion in some mems minds
or these subjects. One writer, explaining the Cummins idea, says
that # should not be a matter between lives and merchandise, but of
essential PRINCIPLES. and the principles involved re the same in either
case. that is. both nations stand forth as violators of the principles
underlying rights at sea. But the Springfield Republican, replying to
both. a the issue does not lie between German submarines and Brit
ish mines.
II is admitted that since the beginning OF the war both nations
have resorted to the use of mines, against which the United States has
entered protests, but merely to fix the responsibility for damages thai
NAV be incurred by us. Merchant ships, when they encounter floating
mines are advised to blow them up, no matter to which belligerent
they may belong. 1t is because German submarines act as hoatnng
mines that our present policy has been resorted to.
If the submarines acted like a blockadng fleet then our present
attitude would be reprehenshe. German submarines have the right
conditions to sink them if they cannot be lowed into port, but in every
such instance provision must first of all be made for the safety OF the
lives of all on board.
Nothing aMs the American nerve! No job is too big to feaze it.
Even the task of government operation Of railroads appears to budding
statesmen as easy as rolling off a log.
Announcement of the new Russian cabinet, however, ought to
have been accompanied with a pronounc1ng gazetteer.
Repetition of the railroad strike crisis 20 soon gives a lot of peo-
pie a chance to say 81 told you so!' even earlier than they expected.
1t is peculiarly significant in the light of events at Perograd that
the German chancellor should assure the Reichstag that important cleo
toral reforms would be undertaken "after the war"

Whatever appealing excuse may be offered for U-boat ruthless
ness. the scutting of Belgian relief ships is utterly indefensible. Beside
such acts the deeds of Barbary pirates appear respectable.
