whether Government operation OF
the railroads ultimately undermined
the morale Of the railroad workers
beyond early repair or whether the
poverty of the roads when the great
bulk of their receipts was being
swallowed up by labor charges COM
PEELED them to forego renewals, bet
terments and improvements essential
to proper service 1t Is startling to
find how much the efficiency of the
American transportation system has
come down. The country needs top
notch transportation; It is not get
ting It. But until It does get It In
dustry and buslnss will not be right.
In 1920 the railroads had increas
ed the average freight car haul from
a normal of twenty-five miles to an
average OF twenty-seven miles dur
ing several months. But for the
first seven months of 1920 the aver
age freight car haul was only twen-
ty-two miles, or five miles below the
maximum average of 1920 and three
miles below the previous normal
average.
Again the lowered transportation
efficiency is shown by the fact that
the old normal rate OF an average OF
twentyseven tons of freight to the
car after being increased in 1920 to
an average of more than twenty-nine
tons fell for the first seven months
Of 1922 to an average load Of only
about twentyssix tons or three tons
below the 1920 record and one ton
below the normal average.

higher railway wages are now than
they were before the period of Gov

than they were before the war. the

The Lesson for Republicans

The spirit OF insurgency which

was radical tinge to its leadership
in spots, but radical is a most In
accurate word to apply TO the voters
who participated in It. They are
farmers in a mood OF discomfort,

licap as any New Englanders. The
farm bloc has been a force in the

hold the balance of power between
the Democrats and the more CON
eervative Republicans.
The warning which the arrival OF
this group utters to the Republican
leaders is unmistakable. 1t has come
before often enough in the history of
our politics-the last time in the
years befire 1919. II is a plain case
of insurgency within the Republican
party and It offers the same posi-
bility OF a cleavage that will leave
its mark on the party for years.
The problem which President
ha IaoAara 80 non-
gress face is the problem of main
tanning a united party through this
period of revolt. In so far as the
proposals of the farm bloc are ex-
treme and unsound economically
they cannot be considered by a Re-
publican party that has fought free
silver and economic fallecy gener-
ally. But a great body of Republican
voters who elected these Senators
are neither radicals nor extremists.
They want only reasonable action,
whatever extravaganoes OF revolt
their leaders may utter. A fair and
far-seeing leadership at Washing

farm bloc, not against It, ana see TO
II that no Bordneys and MoCumbers
were left IN charge 60 make fair
minded progress impossible.
Where can such leadership be
found TO head the Republican party
In the next two years? That, in The
Tribune's view, IS the great ques-
ton put TO Republicans. great and
small. by the election OF 1929. Lead
ership can come from either end of
Pennsylvania Avenue. But come #
must or 1924 will hold all the threat
which eliminated in the disaster

with a Presidents knowledge OF
facts. and with a stateman's vision
that he takes up with vigor the task
OF building up a merchant marine
that will serve the nation CONNER
cially in peace and help to defend
II in case of war. The facts are SO
numerous and vast In scope, anu
the nations armor is SO dangerous
ly weak in this respect, that Presl-
dent Harding is eager to have the
subject considered in all It's phases
by Congress, TO the end that the
people may understand fully JUST
what the problem is, in order that
the solution may be agreed upon
and applied without delay.
The discussion will center, OF
course, around the shipping bill that
is now pending. The bill may need
amendments here and there. Prob
ably the amounts allotted for sub
sides should be increased. to make
sure of the results desired. The law
prohibits the sale of liquor on Amer
lean ships. This means little so far
as the revenue from liquor sales on
passenger ships is concerned, but 1t
means much If passengers refuse
to travel on dry ships. Passenger
ships Of the large and swift type are
the backbone OF an adequate n1er-
chant marine. The British Govern
ment takes great pains to maintain
steamship lines which operate the
finest ships. capable Of being trans
formed into cruisers and transports
OF the most efficient type. The
United States will do the same. but
perhaps at greater expense on ac-
count OF the greater expense OF OPP
Grating these ships in peace times
with smaller passenger patronage.
That Is one Of the minor problems
that must be solved by Congress.
The principal fact, which Is dis
puted by the ignorant. is the need
Of the merchant marine. Many we'll
citizens wave the subject
aside by saying. ''well, if Americans
can't operate ships as oheaply as
foreigners, let the foreigners have.
