God help the common people Of this country when

Of the COMMON people as the Prussian junkers are Of old
man Clemenceau He has nothing in common with them
and never did have. His very writings show that. and we
recommend 10 our Democratic friend a perusal or Wood

with them and he will change his mind in a jify. Mr..
Wilson's blue-bloodedness is notorious. His every action
shows that he is a man of small sympathy and little pa

HOW DO THEY DO IT?

The same people who are telling US how our national
rights are safeguarded under the league covenant. would
have told YOU five years ago that il would be impossible
for a president Of the United states, under a law author
izing the secretary Of war 10 take over the railroads as a
war measure. TO turn them over TO his son-in-law. the sec
rotary OF the treasury, and that a decision of a federal
court that his course was illegal would attract no attention
whatever. When il is remembered that the nrst presi
dent Of the league of nations is to be the last president
of the Independent United States OF America. YOU can
imagine just how much constructive growth the league
Of nations will make within a dozen years. no matter
what We may suppose il is starting with.

ENFORCEMENT OF PROHIBITION.

In voting It's draft of a prohibition law. the house of
representatives will probably please nobody altogether.
although, in truth, its measure ought TO satisfy everyone
except in one respect. The exception is the refusal Of
trial BY jury to persons accused under the law. This is
& denal BY right which no degree Of enthusiasm excuses.
II is a violation of the American spirit Of justice and fair
play We cannot believe that the senate viii ever allow
statute books.
But. apart from this. the law is well framed. It seems

was in operation from 1894 TO about

were engrafted on the private trans

era, and II took many years TO eliminate
them Notwithstanding the progress
made and the reforms secured, there
would be in time a recurrence OF many
of the financial losses and evils II we
again resort to Government ownership
and operation. 1t may be said that ]
am somewhat prejudiced. but 7 have
carefully weighed the more recent eNpe-
ricnc" Of other countries, and politically,
economically and socially the experience

However, L think the people now
largely recognize that Government

broad policy must be adopted under
which the railroads may not only exist

achieved. not under Government owner

transportation systems by the individual

savings and other institutions.
Some persons point out that it is
TO the selfish interest of railroad Sc
curity holders to favor Government
ownership, because it might guarantee
an assured return to them upon their
securities. but it would undoubtedly
be accompanied by very much greater
transportation costs and taxation. so

/ beg to give the following as my pres
( ont impressions, without attempting tG
commit any railroad company and with.
out attempting 10 give my conclusions as
final and mature judgment:
First. I think the majority of tho peo.
/ pie are today opposed to Government
| ownership for many reasons, chief
among which probably is the impossi-
bility. under our form of Government,
/ of keeping politics out of the manage
/ ment.
! Second If the railroads are restored
| to private ownership, the future Gov
eminent supervision should be simply
supervision and regulation, without med.
ding with the management. If Govern
ment assumes responsibility. II should

authority, particularly in the direction

may consider detrimental 10 TIE public

ditions. II has not been possible to OBJ

keep them up to standard. There Is moth
ing likely TO affect the financial con-
dition under Government operation, eX-
Cept that some Of the railroads may he

money. which they could not get from
private sources.
Fourth. The benefits in operating eco
Monies which have accrued during the
last year because of Govcrnme\ otner-
ship have been those which are due to
the total disregard by the Government
of laws which were previously on its
oyn statute hooks and those Of the vari-
Gus states. The disadvantages are thosc
which always present themselves in any
operation controlled by the Government.

ton deems It reasonable to suppose that
the demand will be great. Already the
British Government has let It be known
that II Is in the market Tor large guam
titles of lumber. All the countries OIL
Europe need goods when tney tneIn-
selves cannot supply. and other parts
of the world are in the market for COM
modities which the United states can
prepare TO manufacture more readily
than can the European nations.
This situation respecting the foreign
demand presents the highly interesting
problem of trade balances. In the view
of officials here. that subject VIII nave
to be given serious study. 1t is pointed
out that the time may come soon Wheh
American dollar acceptances' Will De
outstanding to the extent of more than
$1,000, 100000. Experts in the Govern
mtnt service believe that foreign nations
cannot hope to supply n sufficient
amount of goods to pay for what Amer.
lea will have to supply. and they hold
that these large balances must be paid
in transfer of permanent foreign
credits to this country.
No Government policy respecting tenn
porary credits TO foreign Governments
has been outlined: yet the belief Is very
general that, during the transition per.
iod. the United states may have to ac.
cept foreign Government obligations, il
turn issuing its own bonds, somewhat II
he same manner as was adopted in
financing the Allies during the war. Sucl
an arrangement necessarily would bt

eign Governments, officials believe, the
volume Of goods sold abroad by tht
United States will be reduced or delayed
until temporary banking credits can b,
opened or until foreign securities car
be marketed among the American peo.
pie. Europe has no gold to spare.
War Contracts
Closely connected with this subject is
that Of the adjustment of war contracts
1t is evidently official belief that the
Government is bound to adopt liberal
attitude. Already there is an Admins
tration bill before Congress. which
would protect the manufacturer who in
good faith went ahead on Government
contracts without waiting for the signing
of contracts. 1t is understood that the
War Department will send up a bill pro.
viding even better treatment for the con.
tractor than the present measure con-
Responsible Government of.
ficers are determined that there shall be
no such situation as arose after the Civil
War. Some Civil War contracts never
have been adjusted.
The Government has abolished prior
ity and other restrictions as contracts
have been cancelled. and within a short
time no domestic restrictions will remain
in force. There is some doubt as to what
export and import controls are to be con-
tinued. Some officials believe it would
be desirable to continue some measure of
