Bears on War Preparations.

All this discussion of peace may seem
a departure from consideration of Amer
ica's preparations for war. but it isn't
II has a vital bearing on that subject.
There still remain in the United States
a great many persons who think the war
will be ended without further wholesale
sacrifice of life, who believe that in some
way peace will be arranged before Amer
lea really gets into the fighting.
Naturally, such persons are not giving
the war PREPARATIONS the full measure
of support They art eating more wheat
and meat than they should. buying fewer
liberty bonds and thrift stamps. They
think any great sacrifice of their per-
sonal comfort and convenience is not
really necessary; and 1T would not be. OF
course. if their theory was the correct
one If they could look into the future
and know that million American boys
would be killed, three millions crippled
for life before peace comes to the
world, they would willingly make any
sacrifice that promised to hasten its
coming.
Every time a German peace overture
| is stripped of its hypocrisy and its
naked insincerity exposed there are
| fewer Americans who nurse the de-
| fusion that peace may be obtained in any
/ way other than by crushing the German
war machine. And the fewer Ameri-
cans there are who cherish this de-
fusion the more rapid and moro eff
| fective will be Americas preparations
! for war.

Labor's Shipbuilding Plan.

Presentation to President Wilson of a
plan, said to have the Endorsement and
backing of organized labor. for the pro-
duction of 100000 tons of wooden
shipping during the coming year, was
one of the developments of the week.
The plan contemplates abandonment of
the Ferris type of wooden ships. which
require use of full-length timbers. and
the substitution of one of several plans
in which sectional or built-up timbers
may be used. Difficulty in obtaining an
adequate supply of full-length timbers
has been one of the causes of serious
delay to the shipping program If the
plan meets approval of the President
and the shipping board, 1t was an
nounced. organized labor will assume
responsibility for carrying it out.
The plan looks good. but it is open
to one objection which is likely to
operate against it's adoption by the
government. 1t originated with organ
lied labor. and should it be adopted and
organized labor charged with respon-
sibility for providing the men neces-
sary to carry it out. it would mean the
unionization of the shipyards and the
CLOSED door, against non-union labor.
The government is committed to the
policy of the open shop; already has
thousands of non-union men at work
in the shipyards and has enrolled many
thousands of others for such service
1t is extremely unlikely at this late
day that it would turn control of the
shipyard labor supply over to the mer-
cies of labor organizations.

Why Peace Talk Is Bogus.

President Wilson has said, and allied
statesmen have agreed, that no punt
tive indemnities shall be exacted OF
the central empires. Indemnities exact
ed for the restoration of Belgium, OF
northern France and of other inVadeo
territories would not be punitive. In
IDENTITIES to pay for shipping sunk IN
violation of international law would
not be punitive. Even lndemnitles 70
repay to the allies the cost OF war
forced upon them would not be punt
tive. Punitive indemnities would be
indemnities imposed solely as PUNISH
Iment
There never was a safer promise than
that Germany and her allies shall not
he called upon 20 pay punitive indem-
mites Payment of fraction or the
n-punitive damages for which tney
are liable will keep them bankrupt
and. therefore. harmless-for genera
tions. Punitive indemnities could no
more be collected than blood could De
squeezed from a turnip.
Berlin knows this as well as WaSnlng-
ton does. And Berlin knows washington
knows it. and London and Paris and
Rome as well. If she could play the
game she played in Russia and inveisle
her western enemies into peace dlscus-
sions while she still held conquered ter
ritory to trade on against inae a ne
she would have a chance to save some
thing from the wreckage. That is why,
despite all Won Hertling's protestat1ons
the German government is not within
measurable distance of accepting Presi-
dent Wilson's conditions for peace.
When the allies have broken through the
Won Hindenburg line and are on their
way to Berlin, then the German imperial
chancellor, or whoever by that time is
spokesman for the German nation. will
cry for peace. and the cry will be sin
cere. And it is then the folly of crying
peace when there is no peace, nor IN
tent of it, may become apparent. The
allies are likely to decide that nowhere
but in Berlin could satisfactory peace
be arranged.

labor at shipyards and signing Of the
bill by the President marked q long
step forward in settling the shfpyard
labor problem.
The bill contained authorization for
the government to commander vacant
hotels, apartment houses and dwellings
near shipyarde for laborers. az a sup
plement to the building program, and
announcement that this would be done
followed Immediately upon the signing
of the measure by Mr.. Wilson. Street
railway lines and ferries necessary to
getting workers to and from the yards
also may be taken over and operated
by the government.
Necessity for speeding up on ship
building again was emphasized in the
weeks official British report on the
operations of German submarines. The
number Of big vessels sunk during the
last week in February was larger than
in any week since the end Of Decem-
Der, and indicated that the U-boats
again are gaining on the worlds avail
able tonnage. 1t may have been that
the submarines simply had a week of
unusually good luck, but, coming right
on the eve of the greatest need for
shipping the allies have yet known, the
report is a discouraging one.

Warning to German Business.

| Nor are Americans the only ones who
received during the week a lesson in
peace, of what it must consist and
how it may be obtained. German bust
| ness knows today the terms upon
which it may exist in the years to fol-
| low the war.
! BY referendum vote the United
States Chamber of Commerce, repre-
senting every line of American indus
trial and commercial activity, adopted
| a resolution warning German business
. men that an economic league will be
formed against Germany after the war
! unless the menace of excessive arma-
! ments is removed by making the Ger
| man government responsible instru.
ment controlled by the people. Which,
| interpreted into other language, means
| that the civilized world will not do
| business with a Germany under domi-
nation of its present autocratic gov
eminent. Such an economic league
would cut German industry off from
! it's supplies of raw materials and Ger
man industry would die.
| Not the least interesting fact in con-
| nection with this pronouncement is
| that II is in apparent conflict with the
| views expressed by President Wilson.

in Paris and formulated a plan for an

started, dwindled away ana

III by Saturday night. America II
too busy to heed cries Of Peace,
n.sce" when there is no peace, nor any
early prospect of it.
Count Won Hertling. the German I'M
perial chancellor. speaking Monday De-
fore the reichstag, said he could 1uh-
damentally agree" with the four pr1n-
ciples for peace laid down by Presioen'
Wilson and thus declare with Presi-
dent Wilson that a general peace can
be discussed on such basis.
At first reading it sounded almost as
IL the Prussian war lords might nave

they had about reached the point wnere
they were willing to consider a peace
based on right and justice. A sooo
many people, both here and in the al
lied countries, were fooled by it Hope
revived that the war might soon be
ended.
But it was the same old German diplo-
matte camoufiage. Closer study Of the
