Faith" and Works

Two precious months have gone by
since goodly number of ship designers
gave it as their opinion that cargo ships
with concrete hulls could be safely,
quickly and cheaply built Yesterday
our correspondence from Washington
signalled the fact that Mr.. R. j. Wig,
chief engineer of the department of
concrete ship construction of the Ship
ping Board, had "ordered exhaustive
tests" of the new concrete ship Faith
in order to "eXpedite" the designs now
under preparation for the governments
fleet of concrete tankers.
If our information is correct, months
have already been spent on these de-
signs, but only three or four contracts
have been let. The Faith was about
eight months under construction, first
and last, when the estimated time for
building concrete ship-when the ma
terials are ready-is in the neighborhood
of sixty to eighty days.
1t is not clear to an uninstructed pub
lie why the Shipping Board should ex-
ercise the degree of caution it has,
There were almost as many oldtime ship.
builders ready to say that the fabricated
steel ship was impossible as they were to
say the same thing about concrete hulls.
They are saying the same thing now
about the welded cast steel Ship which
has been under consideration practically
since the Emergency Fleet Corporation
was formed
The need is not caution, but ships.
ships, ships!
We are confident that if Chairman
Hurley had gone before Congress with
plans to build one hundred or, if need be,
two hundred concrete hulls-purely as
an emergency measure-Congress would
have passed the appropriation with
whoop. The Shipping Board seems
sorely in need of some kind of whooping.
AS we understand the matter, the
Shipping Board still has full control
over shipping policies; Mr.. Schwab will
have to do only with construction.

Enemy Bondholders

Attorney General Lewis has delivered
to the officers of the Liberty Loan Com.
mittee list of some 10000 individuals
who have been subscribers to German,
Austrian or Hungarian war loans. 1t is
the idea of the officials that these per-
sons should have a chance to subscribe
at least as much towardthe Liberty Loan
as they subscribed to the war loans of
our enemies.
By all means let them be canvassed. If
they are loyal to the United States, they
must be regretting by this time that they
have given aid and comfort, by way of
their cash earned here, to the enemy, and
will be glad to counteract it by helping
America. If xthey are not good, loyal
Americans, the fact ought to be known
and will be definitely enough established
by their refusal to buy Liberty bonds.
New-York tribune., 1918-04-24
The Worlds Job

The business of swearing in a posse of
nations to round up the worlds worst
BAD man goes on despite the German
army's terribleness on the Western front.
Guatemala, nineteenth nation to declare
war against the German Empire, does
not add any military strength to the
Allies. Her presence in the Allied camp
is moral victory of Importance at which
this country may feel especial satisfac-
ton. The solidarity of the New World
in opposition to the German threat to
all the world fails of completion by sew
eral important gaps. The cause gains,
however, steadily.
1t is no longer question of one group
against another group. In the first
place, the Central allies have ceased
to be group; they have become an
empire. In the second place, the Allies
have broadened their list till it COM
prlses nations Of every continent and
cline. 1t is now the world against
Germany. Precisely as Western COM
munity in the old days took arms and
to a man did sheriffs work to rid itself
of horse thief, so the world today
arms itself against the German. The
task may be tedious and costly. The
duty is inescapable if homes and fan1i-
lies are ever to live in peace And the
issue is inevitable.
New-York tribune., 1918-04-24

actual rate of taxation is little more tnan
double what it was in 1914.
And in those four years we have been
growing fabulously rich.
Englands normal budgets were less
than three-quarters of a billion before
the war, so that it's present rate of tax
alton is at least five times the normal
rate. We very much doubt if in these
same four years even the nominal income
of Great Britain has been doubled.
In spite Of all our prodigious gains
from the war in Europe, we have raised
to date by loans less than billions, and
the call now is for billions more-a
total of billions. This stands against
England's total of 80 billions.
And the third Liberty Loan is tagging.
There may be good and sufficient rea-
son why the ship5uildlng work and the
aviation work and all our preparations
for the war are far behind With our
per capita income this year possibly five
times or more what it was in our Civil
War, and in the midst of degree of
prosperity and a general diffusion of
well-beinls such as this country has never
before known, the fact that the third loan
should be in arrears is national humili-
alton.
Germany, after nearly four years of
war, has no difficulty in completing
loan of 3hs billions. That would be the
equivalent of not less than 10 billions for
the United States now.
The fact remains that, With all our
brass bands and oratory, we are living
on scale Of extravaganza as if there
were no war in Europe. We have yet to
know what to be at war means
