by the House Saturday on the subject
Of the drink traffic is plain.
The finance committee had still In
mind assessing whisky, beer and light
wines heavily for the additional revenue
the country needs. The sum mounts into
the hundred millions. No substitute
sources had been considered.
But the House fell into q bono dry
humor, and under tho influence Of It en-
larged the food bill 30 as to eliminate
all taxes from the drink traffic.
If the Senate accepts this action it
must assess other things for the money
needed. The gross sum Of revenue can
not be reduced unless the Treasury fig
ures and recommendations are still
further pared. They have already been
pared. Between the sum asked for by
Secretary McAdoo and that Of the bill
as it passed the House is difference Of
q quarter billion dollars.
Here, then, in "jiny," SO to say, has
arisen . new and formidable difficulty.
If the Senate votes bone dry, it must
vote out the drink traffic taxes. # it
retains those taxes, bone dry becomes
impossible.
As new and as formidable a difficulty
about something, anything, else may
arise tomorrow, or the next, or the next
day. There is simply no telling what q
day may bring forth. We are turning
sharp corners without moments no.

The New School Board Members.

In appointing Mr.. George E. Ham1l-
ton and Prof. Henry B. Learned as
members Of the board Of education the
District court has summoned to the pub
lie service two men of the highest ca
pacity. They are exceptionally quail
fed to act as members of this body,
and the community is gratifed that in
asmuch as the court has decided not to
reappoint Messrs. Daniel and Galliher,
whose terms have expired, it has filled
their places with men Of such high at
tainments. Service on the board of edu-
cation is arduous and taxing, and those
who accept it make sacrifices in the pub
lie interest. The retiring members have
devoted themselves unsparingiy to this
duty and have greatly advanced the
cause Of public education in this city
as result Of their unremitting atten
ton to detail and their support of pro-
gressive educational policies. They have
by their unselfish labors in this con-
nection won the warmest thanks of
Washington. The District schools are
now in excellent shape, advancing edu-
cationaily and steadily acquiring suit
able equipment through policy of wise
ly liberal appropriations The teaching
force is working successfully and con-
structively, without disturbance by con-
fiict over organization and freed from
the handicap Of changes and expert
ments such as few years ago prevented
real progress. In the present conditions,
with an efficient direction assured for
another period, both in the superintend-
ency and in the board of education, the
educational and administrative work of
the schools will be we'll done and the
community will enjoy increasing bene-
fits.

Alexander Summons venizelos.

A few days after the abdicstion of
King Constantine Of Greece, his son,
Alexander, upon whom the crown was
transferred by dictation Of a represen-
tative of the allied powers, made a dec
laration that sent shivers Of apprehen-
sion along the spines of the authorities
ut London, Paris and Rome and caused
an unpleasant reaction here. It was to
the effect that he would maintain the
throne Of Greece upon the principles
that had been established by his father.
This presaged period Of renewed con-
niet at Athens, and, indeed, suggested
That it might be necessary for the en-
tente to assist in the overthrow Of the
monarchy and its replacement by re-
public. Alexander, however, has evil
IDENTIFY reconsidered his intention-h he
had any-of conducting a reactionary
pro-German government, for he has now
summoned Venizelos to form 3 ministry
in replacement Of Zaimis, who has re-
signed. This can mean only that Greece
IS now definitely committed to the en-
tente cause, for Venizelos has always
been strongly anti-German in his sym
pathies and has affiliated with the allies
throughout his career since the begin
ming Of the war. Alexander is proving
wiser than his father.

A Threatened Shipyards Strike.

A strike is threatened on the part of
10000 men employed in shipyards in
New York and New jersey who ask for
an increase of so cents a day. Orders
for the strike have been actually pre-
pared, though not circulated, having
been withheld upon the solicitation of
Secretary Wilson, who is now working
to prevent suspension Of labor in the
yards. During the present week e1cep-
tional efforts have been made along this
line, and it is hoped that an adjustment
will be effected by Saturday, when, &C
cording to present plans, the strike will
begin, if the demands are not met.
A stoppage Of work in shipyards in
this country would be calamitous in the
present conditions, when every possible
vessel is urgently needed in the national
interest. Indeed, SO grave is the neces-
sity Of unremitting labor in the yards
that stoppage for single week would
be material advantage to the national

and put them to sea with the utmost
speed, to replace the vessels that have
been sunk and are still being sunk by
German submarines. It must employ
every possible agency to create this mer-
chant marine.
This controversy over the wages be-
gan about year ago. There is probably
equity in the demand Of the workmen
Of the various shipbuilding trades for
higher wages. especially as in all the
other lines Of industry the wage scale
has been rising. An arbitration is i'm
peratively demanded. The government
cannot afford to let this matter proceed
along the usual line, even though a strike
Of only few hours would result. The
shipyards must be kept going.

Stopping the Leaks.

In prompt application Of the new ex-
ports control law the President has
named a board comprising the Secre-
taries Of State, Agriculture and Com
merce and Food Controller Hoover. This
board Will closely supervise all exports
from the United States chiefly with the
view Of preventing the passage of arti-
cles of food and other necessities into
Germany or Austria, where they are
now most urgently required. It is be-
ieved that quantities of American prod.
ucts imported by Switzerland, Holland,
Denmark, Norway and Sweden have
been reshipped into Germany and Aus

Taking Time.

The House leaders have ceased to ex-
press, if they have not lost, impotence
with the Senate about the revenue meas
ure With others, they have probably
come to see the wisdom Of the delay.
It was a crude bill the House passed.
It was the product Of haste. The ways
and means committee had acted hastily,
and the full House when the time came
followed snit A denial of hearings was
followed by denial Of adequate debate.
The result was a bill lacking in equity
Of assessments.
Naturally, all interests involved turned
to the Senate. If relief was possible, it
must be found there. ..."
The Senate, advised Of the discomfort
created, proved sympathetic 80 far as
hearings were concerned. The finance
committee granted what the ways and
means committee had denied.
Several weeks have been consumed,
and the end is not yet. The task has
been great. The finance committee has
wasted no time. Compliments have not
been unreasonable in their requests for
time.
1t is by no means clear what sort of
bill the committee will report. 1t will
differ materially from the House bill.
No more clear is it what the Senate will
do with the report. Full discussion is
promised, and that may mean much as to
time and changes.
Nice questions as to whether the Sen
ate can in effect strike out all after the
enacting clause and pass a bill Of its
own are interesting but somewhat aca-
demic In times past the Senate has in
large measure reshaped revenue bills,
and not exceeded the authority Of re-
vision. It is certain to do SO again.
Not, therefore, until all disputed
points between House and Senate have
been threshed out in conference and a
bill is made ready for the Presidents
inspection will public interest in this
subject cease. There is 50 much at
stake, as respects not only immediate
necessities, but others certain and soon
to follow, that wherever the subject
touches-and it touches nearly every
where--deep concern is felt, and will
continue while the cause lasts. AL
