Better Days for Europe

mier through a speech at, the Carl
ton Club caucus had an immediate
and tranquilizing effect on European
politics. 1t came at the height OF
Franco-British tension over Turkey
and greatly relaxed that tension.
The Conservative Victory, which
holds out a hope OF five years OF
moderation and decentralization
in British foreign policy, has further
steadied the European situation. IL
may even presage a real Anglo
French-Italian concert to paclfy the
Near East and to collect German
PREPARATIONS.
1t is as necessary as ever for
Great Britain. France and Italy to
work together TO put Europe on its
feet. The signing OF the Versailles
treaty did not end the era of CO.
operation. Lloyd George seemed to
think that IL did. He showed little
interest IN enforcing the treaty after
he had liquidated Great Britain's
chief claims under It. Thereafter he
reverted TO the traditional English
policy OF isolation, playing one Con-
itinental state off against another,
even coquetting with Germany and
Russia TO hold France in check. It
was this policy of unrest, more than
else, which disrupted the
Allied concert and INSTRUCTED a heal
ing European settlement.
Lloyd George had the histrionIc

the view that nations had to be sci

people tired of this hurlyburly. II

Bonar Law is now working in con-
cord with Poincsire and Mussolini.
Lloyd George could not put any
heart into doing that. Mussolini's
speech to the italian Chamber
frankly betrayed Italy's disappoint-
ment at the results of the Lloyd
George diplomacy, which asked
much Of Italy but offered little OF
nothing in return.
A concert of Allies must work for
the benefit of all. The new British
Premier apparently recognizes this.
He believes in common-sense real
ism, not in the cynical realism, cam
oufiaged as idealism, of which Lloyd
George was too fond. Europe's
greatest needs today are rest, good
Will and a generous understanding
among the Western European ma
tons. These may come much more
quickly because of the mandate
which the British voters now have
given to Bonar Law.

uncomfortable spirit held France
and the allies together before the
United States came to the rescue, is
now in the United States to deliver
his personal message to the Ameri-

that he can remove some of this
misunderstanding by a frank and
friendly appeal. The spirit of fair

M. Clemenceau a full hearing. At

there is a feeling throughout the

OUR SLOGAN:
The EDening Journai-the First
Paper of the First City of the First

rIyIIE railway situation in a nutshell Is clearly pre-
scented in a article by President Charles II
Markham. of the Illinois Central Railway System
Some comparative figures piled by him covering the
tweny-one Impressive that they ought
the thoughtful attention every citizen For
purposes OF comparison Mr. Markham divides the
twenty-one year period into three divisions OF seven
years each. Here are the comparisons:
In the years ended with 1907 the number Of
locomotives increased $500 year and the number of
freight 10000 year In the the
number of locomotives increased only 1900 and
the number freight only So 900 a year. In the
seven years ended with 1891 the number OF locomo-
tives increased only 275 year. and the number OF
freight only 5000 year The increase in the
number of locomotives in the years ended with
only one-ninth great as in the years
ended with 1907, while the increase in the number Of
freight cars was only. fifteenth as great The
cline in the and capacity OF the equipment pro-
vided has been accompanied by corresponding de-
cline in other facilities This condition continue
without causing frequently recurring losses OF serious
nature to the country"
true and wise policy be followed In the up-keep
of railroad property is thus stated:
During periods OF business depression when there is
surplus of transportation the railroads should be
active in enlargng and extending their facilities
for future needs but that been possible in the
past because business depressons have been accom-
panied by widespread reduced rates Such
agtations discourage railway arrangements when ques
tions recommending extensive costly improve
being considered and drive investors away
railway securities when'the confidence OF in
railway securities fully restored large
penditures for additions and beterments be made
and the railroads will then be able supply all
sary transportation"
There be no doubt about the soundness OF the
policy Mr.. Markham has presented. America is not
standing still and will not in the future. There
will be increased production of materials increased
output of manufactured commodities, and increased
traffic There should be increased facilities
handling the transportation business of the country
We shall not need mileage in proportion to in
creased traffic but shall need equipment al |
proportion growing business. We cannot
pair transportation system without injuring all
American industry.
