TNHE Carnegie Foundation did goot
L service the other day-as it Otter
does--when it declared that our col
leges wasted too much money on ''imi
tation research work.: in other words
that they did not all need the vas
plants that some Of them have and al
aspire to.
The foundation did not say "a few
more real educators and smaller educa
tional factories would be good for thu
country"
But that is what it meant.
Like good many other things, edu
cation in this country is headed for Q
break down.
1t is not self -perpctuating. IT doc,

s" EFT us smash the labor unions,
- exclaim some enthusiastic persons
every time organized labor threatens tc
do something they don't like. They are
now having a taste of smashed labor
unions. for that is what the outlaw
railroad strike amounts to, and they
don't like that, either.
II the discipline of the unions had moi
broken down there would have been nc
strike.
And unless the discipline Of the
unions can be restored the unions are
destroyed.
This is the first big strike on the
railroads since Cleveand's administra
ton.
Suppose there were no railroad
brotherhoods, would the country have
been as free from railroad strikes as
that?
IL there were no unions. would not
agitators at frequent intervals do what
agitators have done just now? You might
get rid of the unions, but you never
could get rid Of individual radicals.

For a day recently when Mr.. Wilson
summoned the cabinet for formal
meeting it appeared that we might be
getting under fair headway once again.
The, country. bedeviled by high prices,
strikes, trade complications due to the
treaty deadlock and crowding worries
for the future. strained its ears for
some suggestion of revived initiative
and hoped for a sign to indicate that
the government had started to move
and think once more.
But all it heard when the cabinet
session ended was a wan echo of the
attorney generals favorite alteration.
1t was clear that the President con-
tributcd little to the deliberations of
tn" first cabinet meeting held in eight
months and clearer that he is still far
from complete recovery.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1920-04-16

The President had his way with the
treaty. The Senate had its way with
the treaty. The deadly work is done.
The fact that we are still at war with
the Germans means little in itself. But
the consequences of the treaty failure
are being felt heavily in industry be-
cause of the increasing difficulties Of
American foreign trade. The Senate
has no method of dealing with these
consequences. Neither has the Presi
dent. Congress. indeed, hasn't time to
care. 1t is too busily watching the
progress of General Wood and Senator
Johnson and the other explorers in the
torn and troubled field of 1920 politics.
Little may be expected from Congress
until after election. The country. must
endure the periodical interruption of
sane thinking that comes once in every
four years to politicians who happen TO
be ambitious. 1t is unfortunate that
the inevitable year of intellectual slump
and partisan maneuvering happens 70
be- one Of the most critical and trying in
our history. Events of immeasurabIe
importance will be left to shape them
selves or TO be shaped according TO party
interest.
Men who have their ears TO the
ground cannot see far toward any hori
zon. All the cars in Washington gre
at the ground.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1920-04-16

We will muddle through, of course.
We always do. But everybody ought to
realize that the politicians have for the
time being almost stopped thinking.
The country must be prepared to do its
own. Its political habits are costly.
Men who engage In the general STAN
pede for ONCE will continue to say not
what they believe 70 be true, BIZ. what
thea think the people want tq bear.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1920-04-16

The call for cabinet session made
il seem that the collective mind of
Washington was not altogether stag
nant. 1t was supposed by optimists
that Mr.. Wilson and his advisers were
ready for courageous and intelligent
approach TO the intolerable complication
of purposes that lies behind demonstra
tiOns like the railway strike-since the
strike itself is only a symptom of deeper
trouble. But the statements issued
from the White House and the outgiy-
ings Of the attorney general proved that
the affairs Of state still proceed by
guesswork when they are not governed
by superstition.
What was made plain is that the
President still knows too little of what
is going on in the country. II he had
seused the state of public feeling he
might have sent a short message to Con-
gress and by a word and a promise in q.
spired the agencies that are working
against great obstacles to restore peace
on the railroads.
1t was within the power of Mr.. Will
son and his cabinet to compel q better
spirit Of co. operation among railway
managers, who have shown no great
haste in meeting the terms of a railway
law that was intended to insure the
peaceful settlement of wage disputes
But the cabinet meeting seems TO have
been a series of greetings and nothing
more.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1920-04-16

No one can read the Congressional
Record these days without feeling that
the House and the Senate are in the
clouds. If there is one question that
irritatcs and angcrs the country, It is
the question of profteers. Extortion
is a national affection. 1t is unsettling
the national temper and profoundly dis
turbing the national equilibrium.
You wouldn't suppose. after a read
ing Of the Record, that they know what
high prices are in Washington, and
speeches by Senator Poindexter and
other Senate leaders have nothing in
them TO suggest that the profiteers have
become the real enemies Of order in the
United States. A great deal of money
and q great deal of time were spent by
the government in what was called a
war on high prices. Now that war is
formally abandoned because of ineff
cheney in the most pretentious of the
federal departments.
4 Congress which hates or fears to
assume leadership among ticklish issues
in an election year hates naturally to
see the President lead. So il was quite
by instinct that the Senate moved to
delay ratification of the new railway
labor board upon which the country
may have to depend for the re estab.
lishmept OF railway service.
