the companies be from fanatical and unjust political op

There is educational influence also in bringing
thousands of families into business connections of this

individuals new interest and viewpoint.

WHY RUN SUCH RISKS

Insurance engineers recently visited prosperous
manufacturing town of 1000 inhabitants in Oregon and
from the fire risk standpoint this is what they found
insufficient water pressure lack of hydrants near
school buildings insufficient fire equipment absence OF
fire prevention regulations AZ places where wiring was
defective places where walls and floors unprotec
ed from stove heat IA places where gasoline was improper
y kept Is places without metal cans for waste and rags,
13paces with defective Stoves pipes and fues places
where ashes were found in wooden receptaces Al places
where chmneys brackets and SO places with
emulation Of rubbish and trash.
This is typical of conditions in hundreds of places 1t
is such conditions this that insurance rating bureaus
and engineers are trying to correct.
Public cooperation would go a long way toward re-
ducing fire losses of life and property.

PUBLIC DOES NOT UNDERSTAND

There exists today general lack Of understanding
between the partners in public utility service, namely
the owners, employees, government and public The man
in the street is disincined to discriminate between the
utility and the old time corporation bugaboo. he does
not understand the situation perhaps the fault is not
trely his own. s. .. $50 <.'<l.4.' @ef q
Present day utilities too often confused with the
black sheep corporation of 20 years ago with it's list of
misdeeds-bad service, Indifference to the interests eff
the public over-capitazaon lack of publicity to
good will, and neglect Of other goodwill expedents to
be employed in times of prosperity in anticipation of the
day of trouble which is nearly always sure to come
The solution today seems to lie in making every in
terest- owners, employees, government and publc-re-
cogze that public utility service Of whatever character
is alike public function and public responsibility
The companies catch the spirit Of the time by giving
widest publicity to financial statements encouraging
the greatest possible number of local stockholders ask
ing for fair return reasonable Investment and in
vtng into the consideration of their problems represent
atves of their employees This is not too high price to
pay for good will In turn if the public is convinced it
is paying actual COSTS it will reciprocate with frank
and friendly attitude of the helpfuness rather than
crtieis and with full recognition of the fact that an
unprecedented rise in cost of operation must warrant
either scientific adjustment of rates or some other
sound and tangible solution of the problem.

The Borah Group

So far Senator Borah and the other
incorrigibles associated with him
have been leniently treated by pub
lie opinion which by every visible
sign is strongly in favor of the rati-
1cation Of the treaty with reseIva-
tions
There are several reasons for this.
In the first place, attention flowed
chiefly to the Presidents attitude,
the unreasonableness of which has
been increasingly recognized. Sena-
tor Borah was opposed o the Presi-
don't, and to many this was a great
merit, and they looked no further.
q Moreover, perhaps Senator Lodge
either hoped to get the Borah group
into his camp or feared, if he at
tackled them, that he might drive
doubtful Senators into joining them.
Then it seemed essential, if the
reservations were to be matured, to
get the incorr;gihles 20 vote for
them, and it was necessary to keep
them in good humor. A game, as it
were, was played on both sides. Mr..
Lodge gained the votes he wanted,
and Mr.. Borah thought he was MAX
ing progress in the old parliament
tary device of amending a scheme to
heath.
But now the situation has changed,
and it is seen that if the rubber
stamp Democratic Senators who
obey the President are responsible
for the deadlock, so are the Borah
group-one quite as much as the
ether. There is equality of blame. If
the treaty is not ratified fairness will
demand condemnation of Doth sets Of
Adullamites. The two will appear to-
gether as defendants at tne bar of
history as men who separated Amer
lca from community with the rest OF
the civilized world
New-York tribune., 1920-02-25
Standing by the Turk

For six hundred years, wherever
the foot of the Ottoman Turk has
been planted, there have been mis-.
cry and murder. He has not only
brought horror to some of the fair
est parts of Europe, but he has
made deserts Of once populous parts
OF Asia. He has been incorrigible
in cruelty and incapacity. He has
been the great assassin of history,
and he completed the toll of his
crimes by wantonly slaughtering
100000 helpless Armenians.
SO this country hears with soul
sickness that there is a plan to keep
the Sultan on his throne in Constan-
tinople. If there is any government
tai power in the world deserving Of
being smashed altogether it is that
of the Turk. 1t should exist neither
in Asia nor in Europe. To recognize
once more anywhere the monstrous
excrescence would be to mock every
decent sentiment.
But, unfortunately, this country
is not in position to exercise any
legal or moral influence. The Presi-
dent, pursuing a policy never ex-
planned, saw fit to coddle the Turk.
There was not even a break in diplo-
matte relations. We have no stand
ing in the negotiations. Moreover,
the behavior of the Adninistration
IN the Italian affair and concerning
other matters has about bankrupted
our moral authority in Europe. The
effect of the course has been to pro-
tect the Turk. There is talk of adj
dressing an American protest to the
British Premier. But let us be honest
with ourselves. The protest, if we
really want to do anything for those
under the heel of the Moslem,
should be addressed to the presi-
dent, demanding from him a policy
which will remove righteousness
from our pretenses of humanitarian
solicitude.

The Senate's Answer

The Senate paid even less atten-
ton TO Mr.. Gompers's veto Of the
railroad bill than the I4olsse did. n t
q single Senator took the floor to
echo the protests of the brotherhood
leaders and the American Federation
of Labor. The vote in favor Of the
conference report was 47 to IL
nearly three to one.
The only recourse left to the
unions is an appeal to the President.
But since the President has already
ordered a resumption of private
operation on March l he cannot
well veto the bill without plunging
the transportation system into
chaos. The Senate and the House
have done something to repair the
injury inflicted OH the railroads
through government operation and
through. the repressive regulation
which preceded government opera
tiYn. The present bill is COM
promise-an emergency measure
Whatever its defects, it will at least
bridge over safely the transition
period from government manage
ment, with its political makeshifts
and enormous deficits, to private
management, with its SLOW recovery
and its necessary economic read
Justments. This period should begin
at once. No branch Of the govern
ment can afford to delay it.
Mr.. Gompers and the railroad
brotherhoods have made a serious
mistake in not recognizing this fact.
The Administration has naturally
been appalled, by the results of gov
ernment operation. 1t has been re
iuctant to surrender power in other
'ields. But in this field it has been
eager to abandon ar inglorious
venture. Not an echo has been hea ri
recently of Mr.. Illness haH-hearted
proposal for two-year continuation
OF the present railroad regime.
Ii government operation had been
efficient Congress might easily have
been persuaded to continue It IF Il
had made the railroads self-support-
ing, improved their service and fa,i,-
tiles, restored their credit and e,;mi.
mated labor discontent and the COW
stant threat of strikes, the country
would not have demanded q retprn
10 private operation. But it has ac-
corplished none Of these thinrs The
government has completely demon
strated its own failure as an onera-
tor.
The only alternative leftis a shift
ing of the burden of management,
back to the nominal owners. The
railroad Unions are dissatisfied with
this solution. But they stand almost
alone IN being dissatisfied with II.

dramatic effect, to have had the dis

The Shipping Problem,

Stopping the sale by the Shipping
Board of former German passenger
steamers may eventually save the
government some millions of dol
lars, but it doesn't touch the real
shipping problem.
That problem is an old one in q
new form. AS war measure the
United States undertook the con-
structlon, ownership and operation
of a vast merchant marine. The
Shipping Board had been estab-
'ished before we declared war on
Germany. But since April, 1917, its
powers and functions have been ex-
panded on a scale unknown before
IN government shipping ventures.
The board has on its hands and
under contract more vessels than il
can hope to use in our carryiHg
trade. Its methods have been very
costly. 1t has done nolhing to en-
courage the belief that govern
ment monopoly in shipping is work
able or desirable. Government own
ership and operation cost more than
private ownership and operation,
They were a necessity in war. The
country will hardly be persuaded
tnat they are anything but a luxury
III peace.
The war has awakened Ameri
cans to the fact that merchant
marine is a highly desirable invest
ment-for trade purposes, for ma
tlonal development and for defense.
A merchant marine is the natural
auxiliary of navy 1t helps to pro-
mote commerce. Having created
such a marine, the United States is
not now prepared to scrap it or
sell it.
But If we are to keep our mer
chant ships on the sea we must
adopt the most economical means
OF operating them. Competition is
. open and there are many eager bid
ders for the ocean carrying trade.
Government management cannot be
made efficient with our present low
standards of efficiency in govern
ment. The problem for Congress
is, therefore, to find less expen-
sive way Of utilizing the great fleet
which has been and is being
created.
With the present strong preju-
dice against governmental methods
OF overcost and underproduction,
the natural reaction will be toward
transfer of the fleet to private
management and ownership. The
governments great investment will
be gradually liquidated-at a severe
loss. But such a loss is unavoid-
able. 1t would only be increased
by continued government opera
ton.
Private owners or lessees might
be able to compete with the foreign
competitors if some Of the peculiar
handlcaps imposed on them by the
La rollette seamen's law were lifted.
Ii they are not able to COM
pete successfully, the government
would have to aid them with sub
sides. That is the law of the sea
Practically every maritime nation
has had to bow to it in order n
equalize adverse conditions in com
petition.
Yet the subsidy method is more
elastic and cheaper than a systen
of national ownership operation
would be. The United States hesi-
tated to try it before the war be-
cause our people wsaa satisfied to

interests Of all other groups. They
are inviting struggle with the pub
tic, which resents their unreasonable
and reactionary attitude. They may
or may not realize their isolation.
But Congress realizes it. That is
why their appeal to the two houses
has been so calmly disregarded. 1t
was an appeal which broader and
more practical leadership would
never have counselled them to make.

sibility that clothes will become so
expensive that each suit will become
one Of necessity-in other words, a
genuine working suit. In which case
we should all speedily return to the
artistic glories Of peasantdom. For
the less man has to spend on his
costume the better he dresses-as
any stock broker demonstrates. In
the mean time democracy must plead
guilty Of having elevated the male

Hat or No Hat

"There are about forty live issues
in this country to-day In which l am
Interested" says Mr.. Hoover, "and
before l can answer whether | am a
Democrat or a Republican I shall
have to know how each party stands
ON those issues"
Mr. Hoover, however, resists in
vitations to say what the Forty issues
are and his own attitude toward
them. When asked to express opin-
ions he smilingly tells the reporters,
perhaps truly enough, "now you are
trying to get me into trouble" The
public is familiar with similar aver
sion to exact statements by other
conspicuous men, and it has gen
orally found that such are candi-
dates.
Mr.. Hoover is a Western man and
has regional liking for frankness.
1t seems time for him to come out
and say openly whether or not his
hat has been thrown into the ring.
No one will precisely know what the
platforms will contain until the con-
ventjons meet, and although Mr..
Hoover IS ineXpert in politics he is
not so i'll informed as to think there
is possibility of either convention
adopting Il platform and then ad-
iourning for week or more to dis
cover whether the same parallels the
one Mr.. Hoover has in the recesses
of his mind.
