limit provided regardless of whether
there is money enough. No explanation
is given for piling this burden on the tax
payers. The department assumes that
the law is mandatory, which of course is
mere assumption. The fact appears to
be that Baker is merely a figurehead,
that the general staff wishing to increase
its functions and swell its Importance as

pushing recruiting to the utmost. 1t

What's the Matter

| The world needs to settle down, reduce
expenses and get to work. The keystone
of the arch is Germany She will not put
out full efficiency until she knows what
her indemnity is actually to be. If she
''shows her PAGES" now, her conquerors
will raise her obligation. If she demon
strates, by lackadaisical attitude, that
she cannot pay all that has been levied
against her, she expects she may get
some remission, particularly through the
United States. However that may be,
certainty should give place to uncer-
tainty. She should know what her bur
dens are.
We need to know where we are at in
the United States. The rates of exchange
are now so desperate that 100 American
dollars will purchase the products of
vastly more labor in Germany and other
European countries, provided only they
can have the raw material, than it will
buy here; unless we enact tariff measure
of some kind to offset this situation, we
shall be flooded with foreign goods. That
would help Europe to pay her debts to US,
| but it would set our own Employees out
on the streets, and keep them there. Here
again is situation where certainty should
| give place to uncertainty.
| The world ought to cut down its huge
governmental expenditures, chiefly those
of armament and of the navy. There is
an exceedingly simple recipe for doing
this, but does any party dare to suggest
it2 That would be an understanding be-
tween the English speaking peoples of tho
world-the United States, Great Britain,
Canada, Australia and New Zealand. And
if they would, in addition, give France a
| guarantee of protection against any Ger
man attack. so that she might conserve
her resources, instead of putting them
into measures for military defence, the
peace of the world would be secure, and
countless billions of dollars would be
saved for the uses of civilization. But if
our purpose is to fight Great Britain, in
stead of CO operating with her, of course
this plan is all wrong. Here again I'M
certainty should give place to certainty
There never was a time in the history
of the world when we needed to get down
to brass tacks as we do today; when we,
and all the other nations of the world,
needed to know where we are at. What
pity this long wait before the new ad
mlnlstration comes inl-Boston Herald.
