A Government Trading Company
for Russia

Little doubt now remains that the Adj
ministration is headed straight for q
wlde-open policy of government owner
ship or governmental enterprise, Of APP
parently every description. This was
fairly demonstrated III the seizure of the
cables after all military or political ne
cess)ty was passed, by the refusal to per-
NIT the Mercantile Marine TO sell its
stock ownership in British ships and by
the decision this week to buy the land of
the Hog Island plant at the appraised
valuation SO that the whole Of Hog
Island would be government enterprise.
This, on top of government railways,
telegraphs, telephones, government ship
building and, to a degree undreamt Of by
The trainers of the Federal Reserve act,
government banks, with apparently the
decision to continue, if not broaden, the
policy of governmental aid to private
enterprise through the War Finance Cor
poration pretty well clinches the fact.
II anything were lacking it would be

now made by the War Trade Board OF

From The Pd0dnl
WE are the singers
w Who of great love have made
A Strange, unlettered song.
And have sung it.
Silently.
We are the singers,
Singing our poor hearts out in desolation.
Scaling with weak ladders of song
The high wall Of the world;
Battling hopelessly
With ignorance, and meeting
1gnomnious defeat.
We are the singers
Who of our great desire have sung
Strange melodies
That end in discard

Learned its jewelled blaze

vivors have been landed, according to
reports to the Navy Department.
The latest advices to the Navy De-

Four others were previously reported

There are said to have been forty
one men in the crew.
The captain OF the Norwegian
steamer which landed three survivors

learned from the rescued men. Most
of the members of the crew seem to
have been washd from the wreckage

The cause Of the disaster has not
been definitely determined, but the
theory of the Navy department Is that

coast several days ago, the navy ex-

of the Italian embassy explained to
Mr.. McAdoo how many wounds each
soldier had received, how long he had

As the thirty-eighth man, or rather
