countries to the point of exercising
pressure for relief.
If the German government has nc
other plan in the back of its head and
as the entire natter is largely one: OF
economics, it will be solved by an
unusual economic method-the appll
cation of tariff principles to war prob
lens not an entirely new method, but
oneN which never before has been APP
piled on such an extensive scale. The
spectacle then arises of victors max
ing a forcible but otherwise peaceful
occupation of conquered nation, ex
ercising supervision over it's trade
and Industries, and collecting in the
form Of duties sanctions is the dip
lomatic word used to cover the rami-
fcations of the transa ction-the repa-
rations demanded
1t will be interesting to watch the
methods by which the allies shall pre-
vent German goods escaping the tariff
embargo through the nearby neu-
trail nations Already modified
blockade has been suggested, along
with. an occupation of all the land
borders, extending inward II resist
ance develops of Germany. To this
end comes an intimation, probably
most skillfully steered from Paris,
that Poland is ready to invade Ger
many at moments notice. The al
lied Rhineland high commission has
in effect recommended to the council
of the allied nations that tariff sched-
ules shall not be imposed which will
crush the industries of the Rhineland
territory, but shall have punitive
effect upon Germany.
The plebiscite In Upper Silesia is
expected to affect the situation. Il
Germany loses that rich territory she
will be in position to claim still
farther her inability to meet the repa-
rations. If the election throws the
country to Germany her economic po-
sition will be improved. In either
event an excuse will be presented fol
further negotiations.

strike is threatened. The earning
sheets of the railroads show that they
need more revenue. There is pro-
nounced opposition to obtaining it by
an increase in freight rates, as much
of the current business depression and
low rail earnings is said to be due
to high freight tariffs which discour-
age shipments.
Railroad officials contend that re-
lief should start with lower pay rolls.
Naturally, the employees cannot see
it. Union officials claim that the rail-
roads are purposely loading up the
railroad labor board with complaints
and cases so that there will be a
long delay in adjudicating the present
question, while in the meantime the
roads get the benefits Of the wage re-
auctions ordered. The whole thing is
SO acute and at the same time so in
volved, that it is very likely to be a
subject of congressional action at an
early date.

Russia's revolution seems to- have
been checked temporarily at least, with
the evacuation OF Kronstadt, reStora-
ton Of a more or less orderly cOndi'
ton in Moscow and the removal Of the
immediate menace to Petrograd The
operations Of the revolutionaries
around the latter place were doomec
to failure when they failed TO take
the stronger defenses Of the city such
as fortress Krasnaya Gorka.
The Red government has been sue
cessful, but its weakened hold is seen
in the fact that the revolution move
ment started among the goldiers and
sailors, the forces which made the
establishment Of the government pos
sible and heretofore have been It's
strongest adherents.
AS Indicative of, the seriousness
with which the government is menaced,'
and its desire to placate other ma
lions is the ratification of peace with
Poland and signing, Of the long dis
cussed trade agreement with Great
Britain. The Russians had been re-
ported as massing heavy forces OPP
posite the Polish frontier and max
ing strong threats of a spring often

the negotiations with Great Britain
which have been long drawn out ant
the subject of arbitrary appearance
at least, on the part Of the soviet au-
thorities, they have capitulated In
several respects, the most important
being an agreement to cease all prop
uganda in other countries. Great
Britain agrees on her parr not to mix
in Russian internal affairs.
st. Patrick's day did not usher IN
the much discussed truce or even im-
portant negotiations for peace IN Ire
land. That such negotiations are not
brewing and probable, cannot be
stated SO positively. Undoubtedly
strong agencies are working toward
the opening of negotiations In view
of the determined stand Of the BRUSH
government and the equally strong at
tftude of the Sim Fein, some change
in conditions must present itsen be-
fore either side feels like altering It's
position. Lloyd George is reported TO

Big Three" in Agreement

7 r 1t be true. as reported from Washing
ton upon what is stated as the highest
authority, that Hughes, Balfour and Kato,
representing respectively the United States,
Great Britain and Japan, have reached an
understanding by which tho problem OF
naval disarmament is to become an accom-
pllshed fact, the whole world is to be feici-
tated upon so signal an achievement in re-
moving provocations to future wars.
According to this report tho big three"
nave come to an understanding to scrap the
Anglo-Japanese alliance; the United States,
Great Britain. Japan and France to enLar
INTO an understanding to take its place, in
which all OF the above powers pledge them
selves to observe and maintain to the best
OF their ability the peace. Of the Pacific and
the Far East; to further that end and to
lessen the chances of conflict among them
selves, these powers agree to the nonforti-
hcauon or the Pacific. In view of the above
conditions, japan accepts the 5-5-3 naval
limitation plan of the United States.
This decision, it is further stated, has
hecn submitted to the home governments
concerned, and If each approves the agree
ments it will he formally adopted by the
conference and promulgated TO the world
There is hardly any doubt that the govern
mcnts OF the United States, Great Britain
ana rance VIII accept the decision, and It
is not believed that Japan can afford to
turn it down. To do so would be equiva-
lent to an open confession Of imperialistic
designs, and would be to invite international
isolation that would be ruinous to her flu
turc.
Should subsequent developments confirm
this decision, the conference will have pro-
crossed to point of such substantial
achievement that adjustment of other cues
tons in the agenda may reasonably be on
pected TO proceed with celebrity

Needed: y Definite Shipping Policy


a MBRICA is sadly in need OF definite
"A shipping policy, and it is expected that
President Harding in his forthcoming an
nual message to Congress will have some
recommendations to make on the subject.
For one thing, he is expected to ask Con-
gress for the repeal OF section "a OF the
Jones merchant marine act. which directs
the President to abrogate those portions of
commercial treaties restricting the right of
the United States to impose dscrmina-
tory duties and tonnage dues.
Under the terms of the law this section
was to have become effective not later than
September, 1920. President Wilson de-
clined 10 comply with this provision Of the
law, declaring that the issue was one In
volving treaty making, which undor the Con-
stitution is an executive rather than legis-
tive function. II was understood however,
without regard to the reasons offered by Mr.
Wilson for refusing to abrogate the treaties
that the delicate international situation
played an important part in his determine
ton TO disregard this order OF Congress
Alr. Harding has not been in Office eight
months, and none of these treaties has been
nbrogatcd though shipping interests have
strongly urged him to do so. He has now
made ii known that he is in sympathy with
the point OF view of his predecessor, and is
prepared 10 ask for the repeal OF the section
that was intended especially TO favor Amer
lean shipowners. No doubt the vigorous
protests against ihe section filed by both
England and Japan have had much To do
with influencing his position on the matter.
Moreover, it is expected that in the por-
ton OF his message devoted 10 the subject
he VIII make clear his entire attitude to-
ward the question OF government aid to
shipping 1t is believed that he will nrge
the vigorous enforcement of the provision
81 the Jones law. which gives preferential
railroad rates on commodities exported and
imported in American bottoms. and there
are some ship operators who believe he will
even go further and favor system OF direct
subsidies or postal subvcntions.

the conclusion is that had not the Repub-
licans been relieved Of their job of "benevo-

already have been accomplished. AS it is.

and If that action were taken over its pro-
