\ National Emergency

2 lNCE the government has permitted a
~ national emergency to arise. il is, Of
course, gratifying and measurably rcassur-
Ing to have the government recognize the
fact before the worst has befallen the coun-
try. Yesterdays declaration of a national
emergency by the Interstate Commerce
Commission foreshadows the exercise of the
broadest governmental powers in the dis
tribution OF coal. powers practically equal
ing those assumed by the government dur
ing the war 1t means also n relatively
limited Federal control OF the railroads.
since both production and distribution of
coal are dependent upon the supply of cars
The American people will hope that this
action does not mean, however. that the
administration will rely upon it as an cf-
fectual settlement and ignore the vital
cessity OF applying remedy at the source
of the present difficulties.
Under existing circumstances the govern
ment clearly has no choice but to establish
Federal control of coal distribution The
immediate and obvious need is TO save a
desperate situation, to avert n disaster Re-
version TO wartime measures naturally will
not be viewed with equanimty. The Amer
lean public has too recently experienced
the uncertainties and vcxatons of gov
ernment rule in this field to feel entirely
comfortable under the declaration of its
reinstftution. But the government has no
alternative. some form of Federal super
vision probably would be necessary even
If the coal mines and the railroads were
suddenly restored to peace and "normalcy"
Under the most favorable conditions n coal
famine may be avoided only by temporary
Capitalization of control And the govern
mont at the moment is totally lacking In
assurances of an early termination Of the
miners strike Stored supplies have dwin-
nied almost to the vanishing point Pro-
auction has declined. even in comparison
with the output during the earlier weeks
OF the strike. Industry Is threatened
Manifcstly. 1t is the duty OF the govern
mont' to provide whatever meaaure Of So
curity the situation permits. And, while
production is being facilitated as much as
possible and distribution so directed as to
safeguard the essentials. the government
faces the additional duty of suppressing any
tendency toward profitcering. It will be
possible to discharge this duty under the
Plan OF control yesterday promugat ted
In the meantime. tho public will cling
to the hope OF governmental action which
viii not merely alleviate but substantially
overcome the difficulties which the twin
strikes have thrust upon the nation
