Iced the British and American Merchant Navies Clasl

shipping before the war was about 73,000,0G0
deadwe ght tons. Of this amount u 100000
tons OF nearly a third has been destroyed.
1t is true that Allies and neutrals includ-
ing the United States, have constructed
about 100000 tons, but this contribution
does no more than meet the normal increase
in tonnage which is constantly proceeding
as civilization broadcns from one continent
to another. The. actual shortage to-day is,
therefore, 20,00o,o0o tons or thereabouts,
which in the British reckoning, that is gross
tonnage, would be 100000 tons. That
deficiency represents seven years of British
shipbuildng and during those seven years 4
further shortage would have developed.
In other words, the normal output of ton
mage in Great Britain is not enough to
catch up with the worlds requirements.
With the whole volume of new American
tonnage added we shall not get even on
our reckoning until the year 1922.
From this it follows that there is no
danger whatever of glut in the shipping
market. On the contrary, it is estimated
that it will take from one year to eighteen
months to bring home the American army
OF 100000 mon. In addition, transport
must be provided for 100000 colonials
and for the expeditionary forces in Mesopo-
tamia and Palestine. The enormous pur-
chases of food by the American government
are further indication of what demand
there will be for cargo space Take two
illustrations. America holds a virtual
monopoly in typewriters. And the result
is that, owing to government requirements,
the price of these machines in ENGLAND
has risen to $500. And even at that price

might, no doubt, be open to US to accord a
more generous settlement without commit

Several things are implicit in this pro.
granme:
The pre-war public debt Of Germany
must be invalidated, SO far at least as it is

The war debt also. The buyers of Ger

serving, like others wives and daughters,
as cooks aal housemaids. If they do not,
the wives and orphans of the victims will
have 1t to do in their place, with taxes to
pay besides. The ultimate question is who
shall work and who that will not or can
not work shall starve. German aristoc-
racy living off their rent rolls and divi-
dends, while the rest of the world is paying
off war debts and providing pensions is
nothing short of monstrous.
And this right thing can be done with
positive benefit to the common people Of
Germany. There may be some innocent
wealth owners in Germany to suffer by it.,

view; Questions tending to prolong the
sittings--other than those of vital in,-
port-are consequently likely to be
avoided" The writer continues:
But on the other hand desire may we'll
arise on the part of some or all OF the
governments concerned to appease working
class opinion, and it is not impossible that
with this object some we'll sounding articles
touching industrial conditions might be in
cuded in the treaty. 1t is consequently of
great Importance to consider verv carefully
whether, and if so to what extent, it is
really desirable that the peace conference
should touch on labor questions at all"
Miss Sanger divides the possibility for
action into three main groups, and after
excluding the first two accepts the third,
which is:
"The treaty might merely set up some
sort of machinery for dealing with labor
questions internationally-~th is to say. a
permanent international council might be
established. empowered to draw up a code
of international reguations.'

there was no part of the British empire

German shipping and German goods were

the United States holds Panama. 1t has
not been suggested that we have ever
abused the trust which has thus fallen to
US by the verdict of history, and if the
world is to-day becoming safer for democ-
racy, it has been partly because Great
Britain did not surrender to Germany the

on a grand scale that, in these
September days, has cast it's


death shadow over all Russia"
Thus does Alfons Paquet, correspondent
Of the "Frankfurter Zeitung," describe
the reign Of terror inaugurated in Rus
sia after the attempt upon the life of
Lenine on August 80. He says that en-
tire classes of Russian society are be-
ing wiped out, involving tho sacrifice of
countless lives, and he calls upon all
humanity to take action against these
horrors.
Paquet and Hans Worst, Of the sBer-
liner Tageblatt," are probably now the
only foreign correspondents who are
sending out reports from Bolshevist
Russia, and for that reason their let
ters are especially deserving of atten-
tion. condensation of two letters,
one from each of the two journalists, is
given here.
Paquet, writing September 10, goes
on with the article already quoted:
"The cities of Moscow and Petroerad are
trembling. There is not a man left in
these cities who can be sure Of his life.
Everybody, guilty or innocent--it happens
every day--can be seized by the Extraordi-
nary Commission upon a bare suspicion,
merely because his name is found on list
arbitrarily made up, and cast into one of
the overtilled prisons, reeking with filth and
Vermln, TO be shot few hours later. The
executions take place mostly in the early
morning by the flaring light of search

The enormous issues Of German paper

Only after the existing wealth of the
present generation Of criminals is exhausted
can there rightly be talk of imposing bonds
with future taxes on the peoples of the de-
feated countries. At this point there is
something to be said for generosity. The
future generations of Germany will be as
innocent as our future taxpayers.

M OST Of us now agree that the
MI happiness OF mankind depends
largely upon a good under
standing between the United
States and Great Britain. In past years
there was certain coolness between the
Two countries, due to schoolbook memories
of 1776, and perpetuated by sense Of
grievance among Irish Americans and lat
terly by the influence Of people here whose
ancestry is German. In some quarters
these antpathes remain, but taking the
American union as whole, there is over
whelming evidence for the view that a bet
ter feeling has been aroused. But new
danger has to be faced and faced boldly
that is, the prospect or possibility of rivalry
between the mercantile marine of the old
