with it. This is broad and democratic view. II
manufacturers could control the future prices of
their products. retail business might readily be-
come mere agency business, which in the final
analysis, would mean business by monopolies only.
The Federal Trade Commission declares that,
while what retailer buys is his, he shall not sell
the article at price actually below cost thus en-
gaging in unfair" competition with other retailers.
In other words there is limitation to freedom in
ownership, as in all other rights, imposed by what
is for the common good.
These decisions ought to eliminate good deal
of existing commercial wrangling, uncertainty and
disorder. We hope to see them vigorously applied
to concerns which have not only fixed prices for
retailers but have been murderous in cutting Of
prices in order to annihilate competitors.

been Incorporating in their activities

On the subject OF uniformity MEM

results would follow if many laws
could be made uniform as between
the various States. They have
thought that it would be wise, in
fact. IL no such end can be attained
in the near future, II greater liberties
in this respect were given TO the Fed
eral government. The uniform laws
passed during the last year, 10 meet
our war conditions, are examples of
what can be accomplished in lines

lation. The uniformists believe Cven-
tUally there should be a harmony be-
tween the States. even II the Federal
government had to enCroach upon
their domain in order to bring 1t
about.
We are not ready to concede that
the situation Is as serious as thai. but
We think the lawmakers could with
profit look into the matter IN the
hope that they can bring pressure in
their States to have a nearer agree
nent between legislation that is now
had under the forty-eight different

Gen. Maurice.

The author of "the most tactless appeal in his
tory" as the New York Evening Sun calls it, is
now engaged in the rather dangerous proceeding OF
precipitatng ministerial crisis in Great Britain
We do not impugn Gen. Maurice's motives He
is said to believe that his duty citizen trans
ccnds his duty as soldier That is, that he should
violate all restrictions OF military discipline and
speak out plainly about what he believes to be the
derelictons of the British government in relation
to the German offensive in the West.
1t was Cen Maurice, who for a brief time, placed
the British war office almost on par with Prus-
sian diplomacy by comparing the German thrust in
Flanders with the battle of Waterloo, and asking
where is Blucher?" in relation to the that
Cen Foch was supposed to bring to the rescue of
the British.
That abysmal break-bad enough even in criti-
cisng the French who have borne the brunt OF the
war for three years with unflinching courage, but
made tenfold by bracketing Foch and
Blucher in a simlc involving the AngloPrussian vic
tory over Napoleon-cost Gen. Maurice his job as
director OF operations in the British office.
Now it seems, he is attempting to get even" with
his enemies.
Cen Maurces main thesis may be all right
that a vast deal of overconhdence and misnforma-
ton has been given the British public by the gov
ernmcnL Undoubtedly it is true that Lloyd George
and the cabinet overestimated the resistant pow
of the allies and underestmated the power OF
the German machine. But there is doubt
that this misconception shared by Sir Douglas
Haig himself. and by every leader OF
quencc in the field. including those OF the French.
Certainly the French would have sanctioned
the thinning out of the line of the British Fifth
Army. to relieve their own lcgions if they
had realized the character OF the blow that the Ger
would launch against it.
However past errors Of confidence or
underestimaton OF the guileul and unscrupulous
enemy, should serve to warrant cabinet crisis in
Great Britain at the present hour. Lloyd George
needs absolutely united hand from every quarter
Abraham Lincoln's old adage about swapping
horses in midstream" holds true now, as ever.
The German thrust is imminent new
peace offensive, aimed at the morale OF the allied
peoples, is about to be launched, and any political
upheava in Britain would be the best possible
grist for the Teutonic mill. Dissension and quar-
rels will be the less deadly at Westminster
than at Paris Washington.

Of circuses did the sideshow barker,

On the second night of the circus
