Dcathbetl Remembrance


CERMANY'S declaration in the reply to the
VI peace proposals Of the Pope that the
limitation of ornaments and the arbitration
OF international disputes are the best safe
guards OF peace, if sincere. is a confession
OF conversion TO a doctrine against which
she waged violent warfare In 1899 and
again in 1907. 1t will be remembered that
at the peace conferences held at The Hague
in those years. while Great Britain, France
and Russia e1ertng every power in
favor of this doctrine, Germanys delegates
were actively and consistently fighting
against every suggestion that had tendency
TO limit ornaments or establish arbitration
To the first conference the Emperor sent
a delegate Professor Engel. who had writ
ten treatise against arbitration. The
whole OF the delegation were equally antag-
onistic to the principle, except Dr. Zorn who
was not permitted to attend the second con-
ference except upon the condition that he
would take no part in the discussions. Ger
many at first opposed the establishment of
any kind Of an arbitration tribunal and
when she was finally induced to agree that
one should be established would not consent
to the obliga tory arbitration of anything but
questions concerning contract debts. AS to
disarmament, the opposition OF Germany
was less pronounced. The ground of
this opposition was frankly stated by Ger
man delegates to the first conference as the
superior military preparedness of Germany
which gave her an advantage she did not
propose to surrender. Just before the assem-,
bling of the second conference the then Ger
man Minister Of Foreign Affairs. Won Buelow,
declared that the German delegates would
decline to discuss the Limitation of arma-
ments, and they maintained that attitude of
hostile aloofness.
Now that her plan to overrun Europe with
her boosted fighting machine which is fast
becoming fit only for the scrap heap, is lead
ing to her destruction, she is catching at the
doctrine Of disarmament she despised when
it was offered. Now that her chosen argu-
ment is being pressed into her own vtals,
she sees the beauty of arbitration, which she
once denounced hideous. Her repentance
is that Of the murderer who Is about to- be
slain with his own blood-stained weapon
1t has como too late. She had her oppor-
tunity TO save herself and the world the
agones of through disarmament and
arbitration. She scorned them Having
taken the sword, she shall perish with the
sword.

Cheaper Steel by Agreement

THE President has approved the scale OF
quotations fixed in voluntary agree
ment made by producers with the War In
dustries Board, which virtually cuts in half
prevailing prices to tho public. the agreed
base price being s65 ton. The agreement
goes into effect Immediately, and will con-
tinue in effect until January l. 1918. The
allied governments, as we'll as the general
public, will share in the reduction. a bill
is pending in Congress and expected to pass
which will have the effect OF clinchng the
agreement should producers decline after a
trial to observe its terms.
The price agreed upon is considered fair
both to steel producers and consumers. as
Investigations by the Federal Trade Commits
sion show that the cost OF manufacture by
the larger mills is about S35 to $40 a ton.
This means profit around 100 per cent on
the cost OF manufacture alone, though some
OF this will, of course. be absorbed by other
expenses. This is not SO bad when it Is
remembered that the average Wholesale
price Of steel beams in 1914 was s22 and
steel billets $3.50 Under an agreement
previously made by the government, the
navy has contracts for 600, 900 tons Of steel
at $50 ton for shapes and sos for plates.
The prices on these contracts will not be
disturbed. and they will be sufficient to
carry through the 1916-l917 building pro-
gram. incidentally, the value Of the Trade
Commission in its ability TO determine the
costs of manufacture will be recognized in
the processes Of price-fxing. The fairness
OF its Investigations and findings has become
established beyond successful controversy.
Moreover. in the mobiliza ton Of its powers
for the emergency brought by the war,
the government has made the discovery that
these far more potential to the control
OF tho countrys resources for the benefit of
tho people than it dreamed OF before the
crisis came. The revelation brought to it
and tho public in the possibilities of progress
sive government control Of productive activ-
tiles in relation TO restraint upon profteer-
ing methods will not be forgotten with the
conclusion OF the war, but the contrary,
will be applied to a solution of the problems
OF peace. War is not all waste, for II teaches
lessons that we refuse TO learn in any other
school.
