The PoPE,S PEACE TERMS.


~ HE great war broke the heart of one Pope Is one
Of the compensadons for that 10 be peace brought
about by another Pope9
For US here in America the sticking point in the move
nont which has been begun by Pope Benedict will be the
lack Of guarantees that the German people can be brought
b state where they can be trusted to live up to any
agreement for limitation of armament and respect for inter-
rational law generally No will take the word of the
KAISER no one will take the word Of the German chance-
lery; no one will take the word Of the German imperial
government as long the military party controls t-and
every one knows that this control stronger right now than
il was in August 1915.
Except that acceptance of them would constitute
citation Of all hope of holding any Of the Territory in
She hands Of the Prussian armies the Popes proposal differs
Little from the known possibilities Of the yelled German
peace effort of last yeaI And that's the point which will,
IN all likelihood lead our Allies to say that they cannot
accept the Pond6cal peace overuns. America has said
ueuuvoeay that it cannot accept peace based upon the
status quo ante France and England have declared just
as clearly that they will not consider any peace that does
not contemplate PREPARATION for the ruin wrought Belgium
and Serbia.
II other words the Popes program does not even APP
proxmaoth the announced rreducble terms Of the three most
important foes of the Central powew On the face of
what he proposes IS German peace. But we shall see.
The trained Washington reporters impressed with the
spirit Of candid interest in diplomatic circles this pro-
posal from the Vatican and it was their option that
would be considered in good faith Millions Of people
all over the world are so anxious to have the war brought
TO an end that they are inclined to agree with Benjamin
Franklin that there never was good bad peace
And on top of that it not wise to Aout the Pope even in
this twentieth century If it is possible to work peace
agreement out of Benedcts movement it will be done.
And il it cannot be done it may be taken for granted
that the Stumbling block is the moral abyss into which the
Teuonc people have been cast by their mitarsc rulers
Tbs world fears to treat with the Central powers because
hoy have in the past few years Aaganty violated pract
eay every law Of International morality and have forfeit
ed lie respect and confidence OF the entire world.

GOODRICH PLEADS
FOR CHEAPER COAL
Tells Interstate Commerce
Committee Indiana Prices
Too High.

WASHINGTON, July 1I.-Gov.
Goodrich OF Indiana told the senate

Monday that coal prices i'm his state
had been stiffened considerably by
the recent price agreement between
the bituminOus operators and the
defense councils coal production
committee. lie said too. that while
the coal car supply in Indiana had
been increased 1900 in As days and
now the mines were getting 100 per
cent service, no drop in prices has
resulted.
The operators had informed him.
the governor declared. that nOtWith-
standing they were getting full car
service, they could not see why
they should reduce the price Of coal
in Indiana when other states were
levying prevailing prices He add
ed that he was awaiting action by
the federal government on coal
prices before calling the Legislature
In special session TO support the
federal policy
Quotes Indiana Prices.
While there is no standard price
of coal i'm Indiana. Gov. Goodrich
said the operators had been getting
from 81 90 10 s. a ton for mine run
coal at the the mouth Of the mines
while $50 ton would be an out
side price for so percent of the out
put. The price fixed by the recent
agreement was $2.T5.
The governor thought the federal
government should empower some
tribunal TO fix prices of coal at the
mines and all the way 10 the con-
sumner. and said that in some In
diana cities there undoubtedly were
ordinations between dealers which
raised prices 10 the consumers.
Commissioner Colver Of the fed
eral trade commission gave the COM
mittee his opinion that the only
solution OF the problem is for the
government either 70 pool the coal
or fix the cost Of production at the
mines and follow il all the way
through 70 the consumer.
