Such authenticity on this theme was

ish patrols unquestionably penetrated into
its streets, but there was a slight retire
ment and Lens remained under Teuton
sway. The present categorical confession
OF the vanquished is satisfying indeed.

peal in the Allied victory, its strategical
significance is potent. \ German retreat

EFFICIENCY AT HOG ISLAND

While others at Washington and elsewhere were talking,
the international Shipbuiding company was doing something
at Hog Island, in the Delaware river near Philadelphia. Just
because many of the countrys leading financiers and business
men were identified with this great enterprise, undertaking
was inevitable. The company undertook to build as many
ships as possible in the shortest possible time, and it has con-
structed the largest shipbuilding plant in existence as if by
magic and is now employing sixteen thousand men. Well
might George j. Baldwin, head of the company, tell the senate
committee: LET us build the ships first; then put us in jail.
In this wonderful plant fifty large steamers will be under
construction at once. The only difficulty is lack of steel
shapes and plates which the steel mills of the country are con-
structing. Sixteen keels could be laid down at once if the steel
was available. All arrangements for getting the fabricated
steel have been made and, as it arrives, these vessels will be
assembled just as a New York skyscraper is. This means that
more than a hundred thousand men will be intensively en-
ployed at the mills and Hog Island in building ships to beat
German submarines. 1t is an American revolution in ship
building which will put this country in the first rank as a ma
rine power if congress reforms our navigation laws so as to
keep the Stars and Stripes flying at their mastheads after peace
is restored.
What if the company has spent $39OOO,OOO instead of $780,
100000? 1t has done far more than was expected or than it
promised. Hog Island expresses the spirit of American genius
and enterprise. It's builders are like Admiral Dewey, who cut
the cable from Manila and went ahead. They did well to let
the people of this country know through the press that they
are in the war to win. The way to win the wa is ships, and
then more ships--New York Commercial.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1918-03-16

Congress has passed the Webb bill giving exporters the
right to form associations, fix prices and employ agents to en-
able them to sell their wares in foreign markets in competition
with other countries. Antitrust laws have been construed to
make any consultation or agreement to promote general trade
interests a crime. After peace is restored our exporters will
have to meet the competition of German cartels and British
and French syndicates formed and operated under government
auspices to push their foreign trade. Only a few American cor
poratiOns can afford to maintain their own selling and dis
tributing agencies all over the world. Smaller concerns would
otherwise be forced to rely on foreign commission houses and
suffer cut-throat competition.
Competition in international markets will hereafter be ma
tional rather than individual. The German government has
perfected a system of cartels or syndicates with allied banks
that sell, distribute and finance German merchandise every
where outside of Germany. Other countries are following the
same plan. These gigantic. organizations will operate with re-
newed vigor as soon as the war comes to an end. Americn
manufacturers and exporters would be like an undisciplined
mob facing a well drilled and equipped army were they not
permitted to act in unison when entering foreign fields in the
face of such organized national competition.
1t will still be necessary for each individual exporter to ad-
vertise his own wares. The Webb bill will simplify the ship
ment of goods, their distribution, the collection of accounts and
the obtaining of credit information. 1t will be of great value to
those who help themselves. Now is the time to let foreign
merchants know what we have to sell. This war will not last
forever and trace will go to those who strike quickly-New
York Commercial.

STATESMEN AND POLITICIANS

Statesmen In congress are supporting President Wilson;
partisan politicians are trying to tie his hands. This war is
the acid test of men in public life. Statesmen know that our
best, perhaps our only chance to win is to give the president a
free hand as cOmmander-in-chief Of the forces. Petty politi-
clans think only of winning the next congressional election, for
which end they are willing to risk losing the war.
Under our form of government the congressional elections
next November cannot affect the president and his cabinet, nor
can they change the method of conducting the war unless the
new congress, whose term Of office begins in March, 1919,
should refuse to vote money for its prosecution. AS the first
regular session of the next congress does not begin till Deem
Der, 1919, and it's authority over appropriations would not be-
come operative Until the fiscal year beginning July 4, 1920, it
is probable that the war will be over by that time, which would
be within a month of six years from its beginning. President
Wilscn will remain in office and act as commander-in-chief of
the forces until March 4, 1924. The only effect a partisan vic
tory On the war issue next November could have would be to
encourage the kaiser to hold out. He would ascribe it to the
good work of the German-American alliance whose machina-
tirns were exposed last week.
AS far as the war is concerned the next congressional cleo
lion should be non-partisan. There are plenty of other issues.
In view of the possibility of an early termination of the war,
the tariff, the navigation laws and fiscal measures in prepara-
ton for peace should be presented for the consideration of the
voters. While the war lasts traffic and navigation laws are
Of little importance, but they will be very vital the day after
peace is declared. This election can very well be fought out
on the basis of coming peace without interfering with the
conduct of the war, which must be left in the hands of the pres
ident and his dvsers-Exchange.
