PRESS COMMENTS.
THE BOLSHEvIKI PLIGHT.

The Bolsheviki have brought up against
themselves counter-revoIutionary forces
in unexpected quarters; not IN Germany
and Austria, whence it might have been
expected that influences, after peace,
would be cxerted to frustrate the progress
Of the Revolution, but within Russian
territory itself, and what might have
remained Russian territory but for the
Red crusade Of the Bolshevik. While
Trotzky and his associates were contend
ing at Brest-Litovsk for the self-deter-
mination of Courland, Lithuania, and
Esthonia, meaning by self-deternInation
the opportunity to ptt-through their
principles of social revolution, the Central
Powers have delivered powerful counter
offensive. It's success is no credit to their
own astuteness; they would have been
arrant fools if they had missed the chance
opened to them bv the Bolsheviki agi-
tators. The Central Powers have utilized
the fear of the Bosheviki in the Ukraine
to win that country to their side. If
anv doubts existed of their influence in
Poland they are removed by this same
factor Any day we may see Swedish
troops coming to the aid of the White
army in Finland Any day we may see
Rumania concluding separate peace with
the Central Powers; for with the Bolshevi-
ki threatening Ferdinand with deposition
and the Rumanan landowners with expro-
priation, and the Teutons, on the other
hand. offering Rumania compensation in
Russian territory in Bessarabia, to which
side is human motive likely to swing the
Rumanian Government? Thus, while
Krylenko's Red army was preparing to
impose the Social Revolution on all
Europe, and while Trotzky was planning
the first campaign of that crusade for
Courland and Lithuania, the social
| revolution at home finds itself endangered
| today by the estrangement of Russian
lands-lTkrane and Finland-whose self
| determination did not even come into
question at Brest-Litovsk. York

NEEDS AMENDMENT.

There is virtual unanimty of opinion
among men Of large affairs and students
Of taxation generally that the war revenue
bill drawn last Summer and somewhat
hastily enacted in September Is IN need
OF amendment In many OF ITS parts IN
no other feature is it considered so unsound
economically and so unjust IN operation ~
in that section which penalties energy
and discouragcs initiative. To levy a
tax upon excess profits OF corporation
may at time be iustlfable. provided IL
Is possible 10 arrive at an equitable deiih-
ition of the word excess, but TO aInerce
the Individual because OF activities III
keeping commerce of the country from
falling into decay is short-slghted
policy, which. in the end, Is morally
certain to- cost the Government IN material
wealth and resources more than 1T comes
to in immediate revenue for the necessities
Of government.
Moreover, there should be intelligent
discrimination between those industries,
corporations owned, which owe the So
called excess profit to war conditions
and those which owe their prosperity TO
natural growth and expansion that would
have come in time Of peace.
Great Britain has recognized no other
truth rs more self-evidcnt than that she
must not permit her commerce to lapse
because Of the war, and it might surprise
some OF the statesmen at Washington who
do not investigate before voting to know
that she has maintained her prestige as
an exporting nation throughout the more
than three years of war She has taxed
heavily, to be sure. but so far rs we know
she has not said to her most alert business
men that they must pay, in addition to a
heavy tax upon gross income, surtax

The war is going to last, apparently,
for some time, and next to our armies in
the field our industries at home must bear
the burden. These industries should
be encouraged, not discouraged, by the

LOST GERMAN COMMERCE.

Germany, with her insane notions OF
world conquest always has guarded
and fostered her foreign trade IN an effort
TO effect a commercial conquest of the
world But her thirst for military power
has led her to make tremendous sacrlhces
in o commercial sense, a fact that Is now
Worrying her statesmen in their consld-
Grafton Of probable peace terms. They
fear commercial boycott from the
civilized nations, fear which apparently
is not well founded, judging from express
sions upon this subject by President
Wilson and British leaders But the
German by their Owl acts have sacrificed
great trade advantages.
Before the outbreak OF hostlhues1 be-
tween the United States and Germany
the trade between the two countries had
dWindIed because Of the British blockade
The statistics show that during 1917
nine months of which time these nations
were enemies-exports TO Germany am
ounting to only $3,275, as against s., ,26O,

NORWAY'S STRANGE REFUSAL

The ground which Norway gives for
rejecting the agreement regarding exports
from the United States is hardly con-
vincing. She needs the supplies badly,
and we are willing to send them on
condition that they do not reach Germany.
1t was generally supposed that all the
European neutrals III the north had agreed
TO these terms, since they could not have
our goods on any other. But Norway,
which has suffered more from Germany
than the rest, now makes the excuse that
she cannot break with one belhgerent
without imperiling her general neutrality, =
This argument Is little better than an
evasion.
The United States has not asked Nor
way to break with Germany. If she can
tolerate the sinking of her ships and the
drowning OF her sailors because she finds
German trade profitable, that is her
affair. If she persists in this trade even
at the cost Of denying her own people
things that they greatly need, that also
is her affair But it Is our affair to keep
American goods out of Germany, to see
that we do not feed those whom We are
| fighting. There can be no compromise
on this point. Philadelphia Ledger.

The Man Who Lives in Restaurants.

A person-we suspect it is man
writes Every Evening mournful wall,
printed elsewhere in this issue, that the
editor ask MIR. Hoover to let him have
a slice of ham, because he has to take his
meals in restaurants and finds that meat
less and porkless days almost bar him
from obtaining what is apparently Ia
vorite article of the writer's diet.
No doubt the great host OF men and
women who are forced to live in restau-
rants these days are encountering hard
ship. for restaurant proprictors are oper-
ating strictly within the orders OF the
Food Administration, whether they wish
to or not, and these orders are very much
to the point. Meatless, porkless, wheat
less and other '1ess" days and meals
are being obsevfed with great rigldlty,
much greater, indeed, than they are IN
homes and at the private dining table,
where Mr.. flowers writ can not run
unless the housewife or the lord OF the
manor says so.

ones who are feeling the full effect of food
control. and in may respects they are
entitled to sympathy. They are bound
by the rules and must play the game OF
tightening-the-belt whether they will or
no. Most of them are by no means IN
the bon vivant class, for which-if 1T
should have to live in a restaurant
no one feels a straw's weight of pity.
On the other hand, they are workers OF
all sorts, as a rule, and they pay the high
prices for their food that now prevail
in all restaurants.
But the situation is nobody's fault
It's case of orders and that about
ends it, We might tell our correspond
ent, as Pyecroft, the sailorman, told hip
ling: ''Buy am and see life, but this
