ENGLAND'S AMBITIONS

In military sense England is not
beaten nor will she be. On the con-
trary she will emerge from this world
struggle industrially more efficient
than ever in her history, and with
the rank of her labor enlisted to full
strength from several hundred Of
thousands of women competent to en-
gage in the lighter indutrial occupa-
tions, and an inexhaustable supply Of
men trained in obedience and eoordi-
nate action on the battlefelds. Then
will come the time to put into opera
ton the program now engrossing the
attention Of British economists, which
is summed up in the following state
ment recently appearing in "Lloyd's
List" Of London: "The finance
problem Of peace is thus bound up
with the trade problem Of restoring
the balance Of our overseas trade: to
lessen bare needs our imports and to
stimulate exports, and thus help to-
pay for our imports and for the inter-
est we owe on foreign loans; to en-
able US, in short, to pay our way ine
goods instead Of in gold or in credit.
Our industrial history is replete
with endeavors of Great Britain to
SUPPRESS production in this country to
the end that the might monopolize our
| markets. They we're ruthless in
their character when we were in the
colonial stage; subtle as we took ON
the habiliments of nationality. II is,
perhaps, too much to say that these
attempts had national aspect, as
they have had in Germany, that is,
the government did not openly par
ticipate in such enterprises, but private
industry in the British Isles never
lost an opportunity to place handi-
caps on private industry in the United
States. The Republican party cur
tailed thee operations by the erection
of Protective Tariff wall which
gave America an opportunity to de-
velop her industries unhampered
Does anyone believe that this war
will e.. ('cate selfshness and the de-
sire for gain from the nature of man?
If it does, then competition is at an
end and so perishes the race. We
must Protect our industries that we
may go forward, not back. The time
is not ripe for our national altruism
to effect the rehabilitation of Europe
at the expense Of our capital and labor.
We concede the right of Great
Britain to reaffirm her belief in the
Protective policy, as she now plans
to do, and of other nations to do like
wise. Republican masons must re-
pair the Democratic breaches in our
own Protective wall.-Pendleton
(Ore.) Tribune, 3.2018.

WAR SPIRIT IN SCOTLAND TOLD
 BY AMERICAN

London, May S-The war spirit in Scotland is described by William Short, president Sf the Washington State Federation of Labor and a member of the American labor mis- sion now visiting England, in a state ment to the Times.
 'I have just returned from Scot land," he says, where our mission saw much and learned much. We met the laboring men and women and they are doing all they can to help win the war by making material with which the Germans surely will be beaten, be the time short or long.
 "I went to Ayr, where I spent my booyhood in the mines, and had an opportunity to discuss the war with the miners of that part of Scotland They gave me the impression thai they were as strongly determined as the miners of the United States tc carry on the fight until it is won whatever sacrifices it may involve They have started and mean to make good."

.'CUMBER SEES NECESSITY FOR MANY MORE MEN United States Must Send 5000, 900 Soldiers to Bat
 tie Front in Year. AMERICAS EFFORTS
 BEEN NEGLIGIBLE Six Months Have Already Been Wasted by Shipping Board, Says Senator.

Washington, May 3-Five million men must be sent on the battle front by the United States within a year, Senator McCumber of North Dakota declared today in an address to the senate, which reviewed Americas work during it's first year in the war The results of Americas efforts have been almost negligible up to the present, he said. Six months have been wasted by the shipping board and $640,000,000 for aircraft ''has been worse than sQuandered," he de- clared.
 ''Tf we tail to put less than 5,0Oo,- 000, ,000 men on the fighting line be- fore the end of another year." he con- tinued, '+we again will have grossly failed to measure up to our moral duty. We will have charged to our discredit another year Of colossal blunders."
 Senator McCumber entrusted a statement of President Schwab of the emergency fleet corporation that the United States would produce a ship tonnage of only 10,000,000 dead weight in 1919 with the estimates of the submarine losses of 1000, 900 gross tons in 1918, and said:
 "A program which contemplates but 10,0O0,00O tonnage is trifling with the most serious question that ever confronted the people of this coun- try. It is worse than trifling, it is suicidal.
 "Our only hope of winning this war is being able to keep our allies in the finld annfhoP That o fh Q it is incumbent on us to supply them into the field, let us at least get food fighting our battles.''
 AS preface to his conclusions, Senator McCumber asserted that what we had lacked most was the foresight and determination to get up and begin, when the flying sparks of that great world war threatened to produce a conflagration that might force us on the firing line"
 we seem to have gotten so. be- wildesed in a maze of little things that we have lost sight Of the great requirements" he said. 'cF1e failure of our shipping board is the most ag- gravating example of failure to grasp a big situation"
 Unparalleled extravaganza along every line of national endeavor was another reason for failure, the sena- tor contended. We have been liter ally burning up the money which the tax payers have paid to create and support fighting army, he charged
 While we can't win this war with out buying liberty bonds, neither can we win it by making bonfires of the money received from Liberty bonds.'
 The buster of the public press, he said, which has grossly exaggerated everything in our favor, has been an other factor in the delay.
