email reduction OF expenditures that in the
natural sequence OF events would have been
forced upon any party obtaining control Of
tho present Congress. That it will take ad-
vantage Of the situation to claim great polit-
ical credit for what it must do goes without
saying. But the public is not to be fooled
by the contrasted expenditures authorized by
the new Congress with those Of the old---the
war Congress. Fake economy cannot BIO i'm
posed upon the public as virtue; the Ro-
publicans will have to institute true economy
on comparison with peace-time expenditures
before they can hope to make party capital
for the next election.

Ocean Competition with England

\ might be expected, the government Of
L Great Britain is showing genuine concern
over the growth Of tho American merchant
marine. That nation, long supreme upon
the seas, not alone in the matter Of arma-
ment but in the matter of merchant trans
portation as we'll, scarcely can be expected
TO remain compasant as it views the e1-
pansion OF shipping on this side OF the At
lantlc; as 1T realizes that the competition
which it destroyed when Germany was over
come, is present in an equally aggressive
form in America and that it must fight and
fight hard to hold its grip upon the markets
of the world.
The knowledge of this should not lead
Great Britain into paroxysms OF alarm The
competition which 1t must meet from the
United States is friendly. 1t is not the MUIR
derous kind that Germany carried on There
Is nothing fundamentally hostile about it, II
is merely the race between two highly de-
veloped trading nations for the business that
awaits them. and there is enough of that
business for both. Certainly this is true with
Germany fiat of its back and bereft OF its
mercantile feet.
In view OF this, therefore, there is no sound
reason why British newspapers should be
complaining bitterly over the fact that the
American government is diverting its ex-
cess tonnage to commerce. This tonnage was
brought into being primarily for war pur-
PoSeS anu II mas served those purposes cx-
cept in SO far as it is necessary TO return
American troops to supply those that re-
main abroad That being true, there Is no
| sound economic sentimental reason WHY
| this country should tie it's ships to docks
| 81 home to await the day when the British
| arc ready to release more Of their tonnage
| for trading enterprises.
Nor should the British permit the i'm
! preston 10 grow in America that the import
| embargo which has been laid by their gov
eminent, applying, it does almost solely

ure to prevent the profitable use of Amer

TO be, and while most officials of our gov
ernment are convinced Of the justice OF this
, embargo many people still feel that il is a
piece OF petty politics on the part OF the
| English. America has every right and should
grasp every opportunity to mako its invest
ment in merchant ships pay all that il will.
