best recognition of the right of the
individual to equal protection and
opportunity in industrial fields.
In his statements concerning the
friendly relations between capital and
labor Mr.. Gary is frankly encourage

that the two units were in the main
cognizant of their interdependence
and the necessity for co operation.
But the view of one such as Mr.. Gary.

of employers or managers of business

With another question of policy. Even
before the war the Wilson Admin

bringing the merchant marine under
Federal control. 1t saw the need OF
restoring the American carrying
trade. But it wouldn't apply the
methods which the other maritime
ma tons had successfully used. II

Mr.. Wilson evidently intended to
make the experiment of a govern
ment- controlled marine under peace
conditions. The war suddenly gave
him free hand with the merchant
fleet just as it allowed him to make a
similar disastrous experiment with the
railroads. 1t is this earlier Wilson
policy which the new Shipping Board
will have to aim at reversing within
"a reasonable period. Having tried

government has shown q disposition
to make terms with the strikers which
the private companies feel would be

Board was always intent on keeping
it's ships moving. Yet keeping gov

enterprise simply defeats the true
purpose of governmental activity in
the shipping field, which is to create
and sustain a merchant marine owned

EvERYBoDY'S BUSINESS

More than half of the persons who
operate cars do so recklessly." said
Judge Cony at the hearing Monday in
tho case of the young man charged
with reckless driving.
The Judge stated fact apparent to
an who walk the streets with their
eyes open. a fact that is everybody's
business, as no one is safe under ex-
listing conditions. Something must be
done to bring public sentiment and
the law to bear on this increasing
menace for such it is.
No matter who the individual may
be il he shows callous disregard of
human life and rights of others he
should feel the weight, not only of
the law, but likewise the burden Of
public sentiment. No opportunity
should be given for thoughtlessness.
This is in the interest of that in
dividual as well as of the rest of us,
pedestrians and motorists alike.
Reckless driving menaces the use
of the motor in traffic and should be
opposed by those interested in pro-
noting that traffic. If the evil con-
tinues to increase in the proportion
it has the time must come when very
many will avoid motoring and it's
risks. for however careful one may be
he is exposed to the recklessness Of
the other fellow.
This being everybodys business
everybody must share in the effort to
improve it. Guarding ones self is
but part Of it. There must be re-
port made of every instance of reck-
less driving that is noticed The Of
ficers of the law must be supported
in bringing the culprits to terms, in
taking away licenses and the offend
er must be made to feel that he is
not in good standing in the commun-
ity. There must be a lot of hewing
to the line while the chips fall where
they may.

An Unpublished Speech.
(NeW York Times)

The Hon. Edmund Burke O'Hara,
rising to a question of privilege,
said:
Mr. Speaker: = The attitude of
Irish Americans has been previously
misrepresented. 1t is not true that
they have seized upon the unfortu-
nate speech of Admiral Sims in order
to show that they hold their al
legiance to Ireland above that to
America. They have no wish to defy
public opinion or to seek to in
timidate Congress. The charge that
they would set themselves up as a
dictatorial and terrorizing minority
in American politics is false. They
are American citizens before they
are Irishmen, and they desire that
the policy of the Government of the
United States as respects Ireland
shall be only that which wisdom,
dignity and safety may Indicate"
Our readers will look in vain in
the Congressional Record for this
speech. 1t was not really delivered
in the House of Representatives. But
wouldn't it be a good thing for the
Irish cause if it had been?
