PRESIDENT GIVES
CUREF0R UNREST
Would Throw Open Doors Be-
hind Which Secret Policies
Are Hatched.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE cure Tor
social unrest in this country IS
fuller knowledge OF American instl-
tutions," declares President Wilson In
an article written for the current
number OF the Independent.
Men today are blessed with a new
curiosity about their governments,
says the President. Everywhere they
are demanding HAT the doors behind
which secret policies have been IN
cubatcd be thrown open and Kept
open henceforth. The doors thst DO
not respond to the keys the people
hold will be battered down and free
passageways erected in their stead.
"Autocratic governments of the past
have lived By concealment; free gov
ernment must live by understanding.
In the new day that is dawninG only
those governments that have no Sc
crets from their peoples can long en-
dure. | do not say that such a gov
ernment will make no mistakes, but
! do say mistakes will be fewer and
more easily corrected when all gov
ernments are guided by well-informed
public opinion.
Unrest Is evident everywhere
throughout the world. 1t is not of it
self disease but a symptom OF dis
ease. In our own country the disease
lies principally outside the Govern
ment Those who think otherwise are
mostly the newcomers and the men
they have Influenced. The cure for
their disquiet is fuller knowledge OF
American institutions. In this nation
the people have in their ballots the
Instruments of peaceful change.
we can know IL change is desir-
able only by knowing all the facts
about the thing we wish to alter.
The journals that give the facts
aboutN government, its policies and
activities set down by the men
principally responsible for them will
perform n public service. They will
AFFORD q medium through which the
Government can report continuously

Plot Discovered to Enable Free Pass
sage Through Europe BY
Enemy.

BERLIN, Dec. IA wholesale plot
TO forge United States passports to
enable Germans to travel through Eu-
rope has just been discovered here.
The deception IN signatures was first
detecteds by the French consul, M.
Aubyon.
Papers bearing the name of the
Spanish Minister, Senor Delgado, who
is in charge OF American affairs in
Berlin, were passing through the
hands OF the French consul when he
became suspicious of the signature.
He. retained the documents, re-
questiAg the owner of them to return

man who had presented the papers
failed to put in appearance. However,
the police were able to trace him
through the photograph which was
attached to the passport.
MI the American embassies in Eu-
rope have been warned to watch out
for forseries.

TALKING IN CIRCLES

AN UNFORTUNATE air of animosity
that has shrouded the issues involved
in the steel strike was not dissipated by
Judge Gary's testimony before the SEN
ate committee or the verbal snipng of
the temperamental Mr.. Foster. Each
side in the debate seems more eager to
make out a case than to find and ac-
knowledge the whole truth.
1t is clear that some of the accounts of
oppression and violence sent out by the
strikers representatives were highly
colored. 1t is equally clear that public
meetings were prevented by civil authori-
ties subservient to the steel interests, and
it is a matter of record that one district
attorney in the Pittsburgh district was
forced recently to appeal against the
abuse of power by deputy sheriffs who,
according to Judge Gary's admission
yesterday, are on the payrolls of steel
companies.
The one outstanding fact at the hear
ing was Judge Gary's frank refusal to
admit the right of workers in his plant
to belong to trade unions. There seems
to be a conviction in the dominating
minds of the Steel Corporation that the
privilege would be abused in America as
it is now being abused in England. The
doctrine enunciated by some of the strike
leaders seems to indicate that there is
good ground for this belief.
But why is the privilege of collective
bargaining abused? What is the origin
Of the hardening dislike of labor for capi-
tai and capital for labor apparent in the
Pittsburgh regions and in the British
railway strike? If it is ever possible to
get to the root of the matter it probably
will be shown that the abuse of privilege
by any group that happens to be in the
position of advantage is at the begin
ming of all labor troubles.
A labor dictatorship is unthinkable in
any country that values its life and its
safety. Yet that is what Foster has been
dreaming about,
If the coming industrial conference can
find way to grant associated groups of
workers and capitalists the privilege of
efficient organization and at the same
time provide a method By which they
may be controlled in the interest of the
general public the country will be step
nearer to rational industrial policy that
does not seem to figure inNthe calcula-
tions of Judge Gary and Mr.. Foster.

THE HOG ISLAND AGREEMENT

the things expected of the in
~ dustrial conference beginning in
Washington next Monday is decision
bearing on the rate of wages to be paid
to shipyard workers.
The government has taken the ground
that, although it will not consider the
matter of an increase until after the
conference, it has no rooted objection to
the men getting more money, if they can,
from private owners.
The decision, labor leaders say, came
too late to prevent temporary layoff
of shipyard workers on the Pacific coast,
the supposition being that if they had
had the intimation earlier a strike might
have been avoided.
Happily the action of the officers of
the American International Shipbuilding
Company in acceding to the workmen's
demand for an arbitrat tion board of ten,
five representing the employers and five
the employees, has averted the strike
scheduled at Hog Island. With that de-
cision there will be general satisfaction.

soaceeply rooted, in fact, that it has be-
come an Institution. And yet the figures
plainly show that its probable disband-
nlent is by no means a mere campaign
statement. The men and women who
f9r nineteen years have paid its bills can
no longer do so. The high cost of every
thing has affected the orchestra as it has
all other things. The people of Phiiadel-

worthy perseverance and stubborn courage?
The sequel will tell. ..
There follows a regrettable lacuna in the
text. The present condenser, not having
had access to the authoritative edition, only
knows it in the popular (but presumably
spurious) version, which runs thus:
Rumty tum IT, tum tum -tun,tum. More for
tunate Investigators, for whom the complete
text has been available, assert that this line
carries the story to its highest pitch of re-
strained and melodious grief. 1t is prob
able, however, that many will have to con
tent themselves with the conjectural line
given above. In its very lack of certainty
this version seems to add pregnant SYM
boization of human mutabiiity.

Illustration. He continues to blow bubbles.
The bubbles are. as before, beautiful. But
their beauty 1--WE now see) is a tragic one.
1t is beauty born only to vanish. Thus
the story comes full circle: the refrain
which seemed at first merely a dainty pas
sage of fancy has become an unanswerable
indictment of human life. Life, one might
say is hit below the belt and has nothing
to say for itself in rebuttal. The last line
dies away, ostensibly with jaunty light
ness, but in reality a savage mockery. One
turns away, to suffer in silence.
