CHOKING THE PUBLIC.
ON the New YORK Tribune.

a. RAAA NA-0 ANNN 4 VI n 1AAbuAts
The principle behind the Allen
compulsory adjudication law of
Kansas, which was kept out Of the
Cummins-Esch law when Mr.
Gompers and organized labor pro-
tested, has gained many friends
this summer.
It may not be possible or wise to
put into a positive statute the doc
trine that neither owners nor en-
ployes shall bring a basic industry
to an abrupt stop. But the same
end will he attained without any
specific iaw-by the development of
q convincing social experience. To
choke the public into submission is
not as easy as it looks.
A legacy of the Wilson Admin
istration was the widely spread
notion that to strike or to threaten
to strike was a royal road TO an
easy triumph. When the Adamson
law was passed a pistol was openly
pointed at Congress, and later. dur
ing McAdoo days public authority
surrendered about as often as the
shipmakers or the miners or the
railroad men reached the opinion
that they could spend more money.
Labor leaders are able TO prove.
with a certitude suggestive OF math-
ematicians that they can't possibly
lose. But there is something the
matter with the conclusion. The
public has provoking way Of in
truding and Of making its influence
felt. In theory It should merely
squeal and submit. but in practice it
finds effective defensive weapons.
The events Of the summon convey
a warning: Beware OF messing up
an essential industry" This lesson.
It may safely be said, has not been
lost on intelligent labor unionists.
It's dangerous. The campaign does
not succeed according to plan.

PISTOLS.
from the New York Herald.

from the New 1Ork Herald.
The committee on law enforce.
ment Of the American Bar Assocla-
tion recommends prohibiting the
manufacture and sale OF pistols and
their ammunition save as such
manufacture shall be necessary for
governmental and official use under
proper legal regulation and control"
The purpose of this suggestion is
ideal. Unfortunately It would not
end the pistol evil The rum run
ming and bootlegging that have gone
on since the manufacture and sale
of intoxicating liquor were prohibit
ed are proof that when a lawbreak-
er wants something from another
country and will pay the price he
can get it.
Pistols, except by permit, were
forbidden in this State by the Sui
Ivan law. The honest householder
went without a pistol. being too de-
cent to break the law and too timid
to ask for a permit. The burglar
and the highwayman went over to
New Jersey and bought all the
pistols they needed.
The pistol is not to be legislated
out of office. But the police, the
district attorneys and the courts
can send the evil owners of pistols
TO prison. And the people can
pray that the parole boards won't
let the pistol carriers out too soon.

MIR. PoNrERENE's VICTORY.

From the New York Tribune.
Senator Pomerene was renomi-
mated in Ohio without the aid Of a
letter, either commendatory or
blasting, from Mr.. Wilson. He need
ed neither praise nor blame from
the ex-President. His record in the
Senate has been highly satisfactory
to the Democratic voters back
home.
Mr.. Pomerene has shown marked
independence of judgment. He is a
Democrat OF the type OF oscar w.
Underwood, avoiding narrow par
tisanship and putting the general
good above political maneuvers. He
was willing TO accept reservations
necessary to secure the ratification
OF the Versailles Treaty and he
helped materially 10 ratify the
Washington conference treaties, re-
fusing to be moved by the partisan
pettifogging OF former Administra-
uonists. The Ohio Senator also has
been outspoken against minority
group rule in industry and political
trucking to It. II is noteworthy that

JAPAN SUFFERS
FROM GENERAL
ECONOMIC SLUMP

Toxic, May 30.-The unfavorable
economic position of Japan at present
shown by the decrease in the specie
reserves a broad, the decrease of
deposits and increase of advances.
the adverse trade balance AID the
reductions of dividends paid by its
chief industrial concerns from an av-
erage of "a per cent, low figure
here. continues to occupy the minds
of the bankers.
At meeting of the Banking Syndi-
cate held here recently Junnosuke
Inouye, president of the bank of
Japan, warned his colleagues against
a restriction of advances to reliable
concerns, while Seichiro Kimura. the
president of the same bank warned
the meeting that the worst culmina'
ton of the situation could only be
averted by the most judicious activ-
ity of the bankers.
Mr.. Kimura, in giving a general re-
view of the economic situation now
enjoyed in this part of the world,
said:
Contrary to the happy spring sea
son now enjoyed in this part of the
world, the economic world is in its
bitterest of aspects under hea-
Wy frost. During war times when the
countr ywas under the spell of the in
dustrial boom, Japan made more mon
ey than she could spend, with her
specie reserves abroad increasing
from the pre- war figures of Yens 400
100000 up to Yers 2,200,000.000 and
her foreign debts lessened from the
pre- war Yens 1.900.000,000 down to
Yens 100000 at the end of the year
1920. 1t was not long however be-
fore Japan began to suffer from the
effect of reaction. What with very
steady increase of imports and de-
crease of exports caused by the re-
duced purchasing, power of the for
eign consumers. the country's for
eign trade has continued of late
years to score an increasing excess
of imports over exports and with it
all sorts of evil effects attendant on
such adverse tendency of trade the
trades"
