Austin Chamberlain, Government
leader in the House OF Commons
may not have aroused the British
nation on Friday with his Birming-
ham speech. He called upon the
conservative elements to stand by
the Lloyd George coalition Ministry
as the only practicable resistance
against the British Labor party with
which are allied all the radical
forces of the United Kingdom. The
English press sees very meager re-
sponse to the Chamberlain appeal
The London papers generally insist
that II there is not to be a more
alluring point around which to rally
than the Lloyd George Government
there must at least be a stronger rail-
lying voice than Mr.. Chamberlain

Manchester speech on Saturday, with
his declaration I'll support any
government devoting itself to meas

struck more fire than his Parliamen-
tary leader struck the day before.

the British newspaper comments by
which to judge the effect of this
challenge, and these are not enthus-
iastic.

certain sections have become de-

Mark now. how a plain tale shall
put this down. When the Republi-

were in wretched plight. Many OF
them were heavily in debt. The
Republican party. by legislative and
executive cooperation, promptly put
through a series Of relief measures
that have worked great improve

tension, Republican efforts have
proved especially effective. BY en-

by comfy" said the Supreme
Court OF the United States in the
Wildenhus case, 'it came to be
generally understood among civil
lied nations that all matters of dis
cipllne and all things done on board,
which affected only the vessel or
those belonging to her and did not
involve the peace or dignity of the
country or the tranquility of the
port, should by the Government be
left to be dealt with by the authori-
ties OF the nation 20 which the ves-
sci belonged as the laws OF that ma

should require"
Would a store OF wine locked in
the hold OF the Aquitania, or a bot
tie of ale on her captains table, in-
volve the peace or dignity of this
country or the tranquility OF this
port?
When the cargo OF an American
vessel was confiscated in a British
port in 1S41 on the ground that the
possession Of such a cargo was ille-
gal in British territory. the British
quoted the clause of the treaty of
1915 relative TO the liberty of Amer
lean ships in British waters being
subject TO the laws and statutes OF
Great Britain. But in that case. al
though the cargo consisted of slaves,
the United States claimants won
their contention that slavery. not
having been abolished by general
consent of all the civilized nations,
was not contrary to the law of
nations.
II the legality Of American slav-
cry could prevail in 1891 against
the British statutes IN so far as the
rights of an American vessel in a
British ports were concerned Is Il
likely that the Volstead act will
prevail in 1922 against the rights OF
a British vessel in American waters
to keep liquor, under lock and seal,
in her hold?
II IS fortunate that the foreign
companies have taken the
issue Immediately to court The
more quickly this Government is
released from its present position
the better It will be for our repu-
tation abroad as a respecter OF the
laws of nations.

The persistence with which inter
national sentimentalists urge the
present administration to turn to in
ternational paternalism bespeaks a
misconception of government under
American institutions that is stag
gering. This misconception first as
sumed alarming proportions when
the Wilson regime sought, through
| the league of nations. to commit
America TO a program that would
virtually have destroyed its auton-
omy and to induce It to assume OBJ
legations that would have tied the
hands OF future generations in the
conduct. of the nations affairs. And
| this same misconception Is now re-
sponsible for agitation for Ameri
cas- participation in the Near East
and for cancellation of foreign debts.
The sentimentalists who are press
ing along these lines seem to think
that Americas part in the interna-
tional scheme of things is TO bear
the burdens of other nations and
tn assume the costly task of solving
the problems of Europe and Asia,
which the governments Immediately
concerned have dlsmally and sig
nally failed to accomplish with CEN
turtles OF effort.
1t is high time that these tangen-
tial enthusiasts who apparently
think that the Washington govern
ment should assume a mandate over
all the earth TO the extent OF re-
lieving all other nations OF their
burdens and could smooth out vexed
and vexing economic and political
situations by merely entering upon
the scene and voicing its will, revise
their concepts of American govern
mental institutions.
Under the American plan. It IS
basic that the government conduct
national and international affairs IN
a manner that not only leaves the
people free to reject or accept its
commitments but that leaves future
generations free to effect such |
changes as to them seem wise.
In striking contrast with the Will
son Administrations disregard of
these obvious requirements of Amer
lean government is the Harding adj
manifest purpose to
