ECONOMIC PEACE
lSt Louis Republic.) ]

(St. Louis Republic)
 That Germany is thinking seriously or conditions after the war is evidenced by the statement of Dr. Karl Helfferch former Secretary of the imperial Treasury before the Import Trade Association
 "The peace which need above all IS economic peace" said Dr. Hefferich. We have, however, nrst to win It must done then the German people Will endure final exT5me test We are all confident of the issue. We demand restoration for all viola tions of law and all acts of destruction We demand indemnfication all damage done and we meet the plan of differentiation with demand for the most favored national treatment and equal rights the plan of exclusion with demand for the open door and free seas and of blockade of raw materials with demand for the delivery of raw materials
 'If final peace fails to return to us on what our enemies have taken and destroyed; if it fails to re store us freedom in work and spirit of enter prise in the world, then the German people are crp pied for an immeasurable period
 man viewpoint Unless the war ends in free trade for Germany-that is, ability to buy the ma terias needed by manufacturing industries from the countries now at with her-"the German peo' ple are crippled for an immeasurable period" Even if she shouds win the Dr. Hefferch assumes she will the German people must still endure this final, extreme test"
 Tn other words, the threatened trade embargo of the Allies is more feared by Germany than their military power. Even the complete conquest Of Rus sa which will be able to assimilate, would not compensate the severance of trade relations with the rest of the world for any length Of time And the further the is pushed, the greater the losses and sacrifices the Allies compelled to make the determined they will be to their last and best

PROHIBITION WILL WIN

That the United States will be prohibition nation within year two is the belief of those of all classes in the East It is generally conceded that sufficient number of the States will ray the recent. ly adopted Constitutional amendment to make it eff fective within that time. The action of the hereto fore seemingly confirmed wet States of Delaware and Maryland in ratfying the amendment has caused the opponents of prohibition to lose all heart in the test. Even the liquor and those opposed to socaed "sumtuary" legislation having a terrific fight prevent the New York Legislature rati. flying the amendment without submitting matter to referendum of the people.
 The recent development of prohibition strength throughout the country has practically removed pro- hibition from the popular issues in dry States and Territory. It is safe to say that there is not dry State Territory in the Union that will ever be vet again. While Virginia showed a tendency to recede from its bone dry position at the election last fall the momentum of the prohibition movement

CHAIRMAN HURLEY'S SPEECH

The speech of Chairman Hurley of the Shipping Board before the National Marine League reveals why Congress has almost stopped Jeremahng about ships and turned to aeroplanes and for thing to stimulate pessimism.
 There time when the shpbuildng problem looked more encouraging than the aeropane prob lem does today but there is different story to tell One by throubles disappearing; day by day ships nearing completion and the num- Der of launchngs increases week by week
 Chairman Hurley's figures indicate that in wooden ships alone this country will be producing tonnage before long at a rate will cancel the advantage which the Uboats have construction, and the wooden ship program is the lesser part of the whole
 There is encouragement in all that he said, not only his words related to the building of ships, but to the whole task of preparation. Building ships enough to transport the army and keep up the flow of goods the the biggest industrial task that the government attempted When the work is fully under way the industry whole will be twice great the United States Steel Corporation, and that is by all odds the biggest industrial corporation in the world.
 Everything points to the accomplishment of that work within time far from the early and optimistic estimates. If this country swing that greatest of all jobs the others cannot heavy for its energy and business ability.

LET SOLDIERS WEAR THEIR MEDALS
(NeW York WOrldl


 French Generals continue to pin their countrys coveted Croix de Guerre the breasts of American soldiers cited gallantry at the front and the re- cipients of the decoration regularly unpn 1t and give it over to prosac custody of the Regmental Quartermaster Such is the anomalous situation ere aed by the failure of Congress to authorize the sol ders to wear their prized medals by giving its con sent as provided for in the article of the COnstitu tion which otherwise forbids the acceptance of hon ors from any King, Prince foreign State
 Is France nowadays foreign State? It is within the meaning of the Constitution, but it is also sister republic, fighting battles fighting hers, and 1t is regrettable that the fine spirit shown in decorating brave soldiers equally with it's own was recognized at first Certainly Congress should action.
 But at least these insignia of heroism in the trenches by American soldiers should not be reegat. ed to curio cabinets All Americans will desire that the brave youth who have them shall be enabled to wear them in battle.

Those Wickersham politicians who have had so much to say regarding the proposition to permit Can adan ships to engage in Alaska trade can save all the breath they have been using at street corners and wherever two more voters have gathered to- gether and prepare to convince the United States Shipping Board. Delegate Sulzer has secured the promise of the Board that it will have hearings at Seattle Juneau and Seward this and all other mat connected with shipping in Alaska. Now if the Wickershamites in earnest they will collate their data and prepare their arguments to use in place where actual results may be attained. They get in and clean up this question that exact and even justice may be done and thus remove few things from among campaign issues and put them among the things that have been determined.
