siondI Record reprinted, French transcript
of President Wilson's remarks on May 81
and on the subject of American guarantees
of the frontiers of Rumania and of Serbia.
The subsequent dispute over the exact word
ing Of the speech did not in the least alter
the meaning of the Presidents declaration,
which expressly stated that underlying all
the transactions Of the Paris conference and
specifically underlying the covenant OF the
league was the expectation on the part OF
Rumania and OF Serbia that If the principles
involved were challenged we would make
our fleets and armies cross the seas to de-
fend those principles.
This incident concerned territorial ques-
tons. But now we have the representative
of a great Power, namely Italy, proposing
at Geneva pooling of all the economic

plated pooling all of the costs OF the war
and then apportionng the share of each ma
ton on the basis of their population and re-
sources. Thus the United States, undeniably
the richest of the nations Composing the
alliance against Germany, would have found
the actual cost of the annual taxtion imposed
by war expenditures increased by not less
than 80 per cent. Canada and Japan would
have been called upon to bear increased bur-
dens, but the French and the British would
have had their burdens reduced by 10 per
cent. and IL per cent. respectively.
For obvious reasons this proposal was IN.
contnently rejected. 1t would actually have
added to our war burden the interest charge

BIRMINGHAM AND MOBILE

 From the Mobile Register.
 Mobile and Birmingham have been pulling together splendidly for several years. Jefferson and Mobile counties combined cast a greater majority for tho seaport aid amendment than the total majority against that measure. This kind of team work is invincible in the long run. Mobile is building ships out of Birmingham material and these ships are carrying Birmingham prod ucts abroad. Through Mobile this dis trict Is receiving quantities of imported material for the use of it's manufactur- ing plants. The Warrior river is the artery connecting these two sections of Alabama and keeping life in both. Each recognizes its dependence on the other and each Is sincerely interested In the other.-Birmingham Age-Herald.
 The relation Is reciprocal in benefits. Mobile as m entsy-port will surely con- tribute greatly to Birmin gham's com- mercial growth. even as Birmingham's industry is help to Mobile.

Atlantic to Mississippi
 Canal Is Feasible

VNHE Atlantic Gulf canal is not q a dream. It is a very practical project advanced by strong organi- zation of interests throughout the south and the Mississippi valley de- sirous of a short route between the Mississippi valley and gulf states and the Atlantic ocean.
 More than a dozen United States senators and 50 congressman are openly friendly to the project and it has the indorsement of the Missis- sippi Valley Association, whose mem bership represents potent influence back of majority of the congress- men.
 The cost of the project was esti- mated in IS to be $45,000,00 At presentsprices of material and labor it might be $75,O00,OOO. That is no great sum to be expended in uniting the Atlantic and gulf by a canal across the northern part of the Florida peninsula. Much more than this amount was expended on war plants that were never used and have been sold for nominal sums or scrapped.
 Alabama is to be organized as 2 component element of the canal as- sociation through congressional dis trict representation and the same course is to be taken in other south ern states until they are lined up with all of the Mississippi valley.

Wilson Dam Completion
 Meets With Opposition

A DVICES from Washington state EA that the appropriations commit tee has definitely decided to refuse the petition of the board of engineers for an appropriation of $10,o0O,00O with which to complete the Wilson dam at Muscle Shoals.
 On the completion of the dam de- bends the economic operation of the large nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals, which would liberate this country from reliance on Chile for nitrates for explosives in war and provide low priced fertilizers for the farmers of America in times of peace. The sum asked is nothing in comparison with the service to be performed.
 Secretary of Agriculture Meredith in his annual report to Congress makes an earnest plea for the imme- diate operation of the nitrate plant. He calls attention to Germany's mas tery of the nitrate situation when the World war started, and to the further fact that Italy, France and England, learning the lesson of that war, have arranged to make themselves here after secure in the same respect. It would be the height of folly and un- preparedness for this country to run the risk of again finding itself in condition similar to that confronting it in the World war.
 It cannot be a question of money. If the appropriation is denied it will be because of partisan interests. That is difficult to understand in the face of the plea of the farmers of the country, irrespective of section, for the operation of the plant. It cannot be economically operated without an abundant supply of water-generated electricity.
 Common sense will probably prevail. Ten million dollars should not be weighed in the scale with a great na- tion's independence, both in war and in peace.
