NATIONS ON TRIAL,
SAYS LORD CECIL
Declares People Skeptical Of
Present Governing
Systems.
Special Gable to The washington Herald
and Chicago Tribune.)
BY JOHN STEELE.

LONDON, May ,27.-"All over Eu-
rope there is grave misgiving as to
those who made up the governing
class before 1914" Lord Robert Ce-
ell said during debate in the house
of commons this afternoon on q
motion that the conventions adopted
at the international labor confer
ence in Washington. under the league
OF nations, be submitted to parlia-
ment. The motion was defeated.
The predominant feeling of vast
masses of the population" declared
Lord Cecil. was that 1914 was
great disaster and great warning.
They attribute the disaster not to
this and that government. but to
the general breakdown of existing
systems.
THE labor conference and league
of nations is all part of a new sys-
tenn based on the theory that rival
ries of nations are less important
TO them than their friendships. their
interests greater than their antag-
onisms. believe the mass of the
people are waiting to see whether
there is any real intention Of the
nations to change their sconduct in
international affairs. or whethersit
is only a piece of camouAaEe. a
last effort of the dying system to
prop up itself for another decade
or so."N

The real reason the two Washing
ton street railway companies could
not get together on a merger agree
ment was not because of financial
differences. but because they could
not agree on who should control tn.
consolidated corporations.
This was the answer made to
questions put by Chairman Focht of
the house District committee yes
terday during hearings on the pro-
posed merger by various witnesses.
Lower Fare Real Issue.
Representative Kunz. of Illinois.
voiced the opinions of most mem
bers of the committee when he said
that the real question was not how
to bring about a merger but how
to give the public a lower fare.
Commissioner Oyster decared the
public wanted a merger only be-
cause they believed lower fares
would result. He declared in favor
of a merger but suggested that IL a
merger could not be. consummated
within a reasonable time that other
steps should be taken to reduce
fares.
The first suggestion was to give
a 10-cent electric rate. and reduce
carfares to cents relieve the COM
panies from maintaining crossing po-
:icemen, paving the car tracks. and
the tax on net earnings, thus cut
ting fare to cents straight and
four tokens for IS cents. r..
Favor Exeess Profits Tax.
Commissioner Kutz said that he and
Commissioner Rudolph were in fa-
vor of an excess profits tax as "a
means of equaiizing the earnings OF
the two companies.
Representative Lampert. Wfscon-
sin. suggested fixing a rate of 5
cents for the Capital Traction com :
pany as club to force merger
Representative Sproul asked Com
missioner Kutz IL the Capital Trac-
tion company had not offered to
carry passengers for 5 cents. Rep
,esentative Kunz insisted that he
understood the Capital Traction
sengers for cents.
Cites scent Agreements.
Sproul declared a railway COM
pany should fulfil its contract and
said that in about thirty franchises
now. held by the two street railway
corporations has been written an
agreement TO carry passengers for
) cents.
Commissioner Kutz said the Pub
lie Utilities commission believes
these franchises were modified
when congress created the public
utilities commission and gave 1t au-
thcrity to recognize rates. granting
the corporations a fair return on a
fair valuation

l Far and wide in city streets
 and in rural communities. the
 day will be remembered with
 public exercises. Ard in the millions of homes from which the young men of America went forth to play their part in the great struggle it will be observed with deep emotion; here in proud and loving mem, ory of one who gave the last and greatest gift, his life, to his country; there io thanks giving for a son or a husband spared by the truce of Armis- tice Day to return again to his family and to the ways of peace.
 The Stars and Stripes should fly from every staff in the country on that day. It would also be a touching and beau tiful recognition of the mean ing of the day if all the ser vice flags that were displayed so proudly from church or factory or office building or home during the weeks of hard fighting three years ago should be hung out once more to remind us-prone as we are to forget-of all the courage and all the sacrifice and all the devotion to duty that those flags with their stars of blue or of gold symbolized. It would be simple thing to do; it would ask a minimum of eff fort from any one person; and yet nothing else would inn press more deeply on our hearts the lessons of the day or yield more graceful tribute to the brave men, living and dead, who answered in those trying days the call of their native land. - The Youths Companion.

 This year Armistice Day has an especial significance. It is to be marked at Wash ington by the meeting of a international conference that is to make a sincere effort to compose the misunderstood ings among nations that threaten, even though remote ly, to disturb the peace of the world in the Pacific, and to find a way to releive the race of the burden of costly arma. ment that it is now obliged tc carry.
