The colony of dethroned royalty had been getting
anxious and jealous, until King Charles has broken
loose The Hapsburgs quite family, and
their dignity being shadowed.
So Charles has undertaken a little excursion
on his account to the throne which in
fact his only by sufferance adjunct to that

He crossed the Austrian border to Steinaman-
ger, a railroad center almost directly south OF
Vienna From there he went to Budapest and got
very chilly reception Only the army of the
West centcrcd at Steinamanger seemed ready to
follow him. Returning there, he placed himself at
its head, declaring military dictatorship, and is

The doubtful factor in the equation and the only

Labor Peace.

an organization within the union, but does not de-

Workers OF America is one of the strongest unions

the most radical and includes many diverse racial
elements

France Comes to Washington.

II T is far off the mark to say that NJ Viyiani has
come to this country to ask anything of this
government He is too wise man and too
clever diplomat to do anything of the sort He
has not come to ask the United States to do any
thing for France, but to find what this government
wants France to do to assure closer relations.
Whatever this may be, he is doubtless empow-
etedta grant and to grant willingly. That his visit
and-conversatons with this government will have
much effect in the final shaping OF the international
ptogran of this administration. may or may not be
true. 1t will, however, at least develop how far
France will go along the same road

one OF inquiry, not of request. He will meet not
only the President and Secretary Hughes officially
but will meet socially, members of the Senate and

1t is not seemly for foreign representative to
undertake to influence Senate action and NJ. Vivani

An Undeveloped Resource.

THE New York Times cites the suggestion that
railroad rate reduction be made a part of the
Republican tariff policy, as lowering transportation
might be substitute for increased customs on
agricultural imports. High freight rates." it con-
cedes, "obstruct the entry OF our products into
foreign markets and the price to foreign buyers
could be reduced by much as the transportation
rates could be lowered"
y, The fact is that railroad rates arc now so high
that many commodities be marketed even
at,home let alone abroad. When Washington State
lumber is shipped to Ohio. by way of the Panama
Canal; when the rail rate on that lumber to Mime
sofa is than its price at the mills, there is an
impossible transportation condition.
II is one that not alone strangles trade, but
transportation itself With the rail what they
are, the distribution of all commodities is halted and
along with this industry is of course, closed down
With this true in country the result on
exports is still more drastic.
The Times does not believe rail rates can be
lowered. Probably they cannot be until the wage
scale is also lowered. But there is another way 10
meet this situation, not temporarily, but perma-
nently. This is by opening the ST. Lawrence River
to ocean traffic
If the lumber of the Western coast can now be
shipped at lower rate by the Panama Canal, and
transshipped by rail far inland as Ohio and In
diana, there would be still greater advantage by
this ali-wacr route. Both these States have ports
on the Great Lakes Ohio has Toledo Sandusky
and Cleveland. Indiana has Gary, at Chicago.
The one great transportation fact of this coun-
try is that has been, and is, completely dependent
upon railways. The sooner our people realize this
and its handicap genuinely national development
the the right solution will come The people
have not taken advantage of the wonderful internal
waterways with which they are blessed
The natural resources in lumber minerals and
agriculture have all been developed under this
transportation restriction until they have come to
the parting of the ways 1t is not possible to go
further until this other natural resource-waterways
receives the attention it not only deserves, but
must have.
The railroads have become overloaded; too
much is demanded of them. 1t is impossible to pro-
vide the billions of dollars needed to extend and
equip them to handle the commodity products with
the present enormously long hauls They have
broken down under the load of the tremendous
bulk of low-rate freights
:. The relief is in developed water routes that
would take away this burden, leaving to the rail-
roads the shorter haus and the higherrate traffic
In this the central factor is the Great Lakes reachz
ing half way across the continent and. to its very
center. Co-ordinated with this are the wide-hung
water systems of the Mississippi, Ohio and Missouri
rivers.
There is other solution of our transportation
problems, and IN other way is balanced develop
