"A Moral and a Practical Issue.

Some OF our newspaper friends,
along with public officials that
seemed to think at one time the
seniority question in the railroad
strike was of no consequence at all
as a practical matter, are waking
up at last to the fact that it is of
the very greatest Importance in re-
spect of its material as well as it's
moral aspect. 1t is incomprehensible
how they ever could have been SO
far wrong regarding this as they
were. The common sense test of the
weight of this question from first to
last was the attitude of the strikers
themselves regarding it.
If the seniority difference did not
really amount to anything from the
practical point Of view why did the
strikers themselves make it the su-
preme issue over which to fight to
the last ditch? They knew what it
meant. They knew the strikers
places had been filing UP fast. They
knew only 80 to 40 per cent. of the
jobs were left and in a few days
hardly any of them would be left
vacant. And they knew if the strik-
ers went back hundreds of thousands
of somebody would have to go.
But if the strikers went back ito
their former positions with their
seniority and other rights unim-
paired" it would not be the strikers
who would be out of jobs. 1t would
be. the men who had kept the roads
running in the teeth of the struggles
of the strikers to tie up the roads.
All the strikers knew that All the
men on the jobs keeping the roads
running knew it. The public Off
cials that did not know 1t and tried
to have such a settlement as that
forced on the roads and on the faith
full, loyal workers fell into a trap
The newspapers that did not know
it-well, they had something to learn
about the prime necessity in the
newspaper business Of getting the
rock bottom facts of situation be-
fore talking about it.
As for the moral side of the case
the solemn pledges to the men on
the jobs that they should not have
their places, their seniority rights
or any of the privileges and benefits
that had been guaranteed to them
sacrificed under any settlements
for that great moral issue, heaven
only knows how anybody could have
gone astray on that.

Uncle Sans Coast Guard.

The United States Coast Guard
was 132 years old yesterday. 1t has
had more crowded career in the
performance of it's duties than any
other branch OF the Federal service.
1t might almost be said that wars
have been incidents in the life of
the Coast Guard, which has been as
exacting in peace as in war.
It's service has been uninterrupted
since the organization of the Reve-
nue. Cutter Service in 1890. The Ma
rine Corps was established in 1916,
but like the navy it ceased to func-
tion at the close of the war for in
dependence and was revived later
upon the navy's reorganization in
1898. The Life Saving Service, which
forms one branch of the Coast Guard,
was not organized until 1871, and
was administered separately until its
combination with the Revenue Cutter
Service in 1916
The work of the United States
Coast Guard carries with it continual
hazard. The files of the Treasury
Department, under. which it is ad-
ministered except in time of war,
are packed with matter of fact re-
ports which reveal the spirit Of the
service-unquestioning courage, un-
questioning self-sacrifice. It's work
is done quietly and out of sight. It's
officers never boast. They are much
too busy for that.
Few realize the wide range of the
Coast Guards service. The saving Of
1900 lives at sea is an ordinary
years record, but the record does not
stop there. 1t includes the enforce
ment of maritime law, the preven-
tion of smuggling, the removal of OBJ
stacles to navigation, the search for
lost ships, the annual ice patrol of
the Grand Banks, the conveyance of
medical aid to deep sea fishermen,
the annual cruise to the Arctic Sea,
which carries the administration of
law and justice to the most distant
points on the Alaskan coast--these
are few tasks in the Coast Guards
customary round of duties.
1t is a service insufficiently paid
and insufflciently recognized. Its
officers are trained at United States
academy, beautifully situated at New
London. as are the officers of the
army and navy, but not one citizen
in ten knows of the academys exist
ence. The United States Coast Guard
deserves 10 be better known, better
rewarded and better appreciated.

Baltic States Recognized.

The formal recognition by the
United States Government OF the
Baltic States was celebrated Thurs
day by former residents OF these
nations now in this country and by
American friends who aided by adj
vice and sympathy in the establish
ment of republican governments on
the western rim OF Russia. The in
submerged in and dominated for
years by imperial Russia. was a
dream OF nationalism which seemed
even less than ten years ago an i'm
possibility 1t required. in fact. a
world war and a Russian revolution
to make the dream a reality.
The three new States just recog-
nized by this Government are Es-
thonia, Latyia and Lithuania. Even
these names were forgotten by all
except the people themselves when
the States were absorbed by Russia
more than a century ago. They
zealously preserved their ancient ira
ditions and history. and despite all
efforts to kill their spirit OF national
ism they kept their own language.
customs and literature. They have
no kinship with the Russians in
blood or religion. The Lithuanians
are of the same stock as the Firms;
the Let's Latvians) and Lithuan-
ians are direct descendants of the
first Aryan settlers in Europe. The
/ Lithuanians and some Let's are
Roman Catholics. the Esthonians and
the main body Of the Latvians are
Lutherans.
None OF these States accepted Boil
shevism. but seeing in il a deadly
peril to their own institutions they
( opposed its attaining hold in the
Baltic region. After the collapse Of
the Kerensky regime Soviet Russia
attempted conquest OF the Baltic
/ States. The Bolshevist forces, how
ever, were driven back and the three
States declared their independence
of Russia in 1918. Two years after
ward the Moscow Government signed
treaties renouncing all sovereign
rights to the three countries Since
/ 1920 they have been practically un-
molested by the Moscow Government
and with Poland haveIormed Bal
tic barrier to the westward progress
OF Bolshevism.
The region was devastated by the
wars on the eastern front and was
occupied by German military forces
after the fall of the imperial Russian
Government. The States. with their
rich natural resources and the added
advantage OF their position upon the
Baltic Sea and the CULTS Of Finland
and Riga, have been rapidly recuper-
ating. They have all established sub
s.antial representative governments
upon republican principles.
AS an example of the impetus which
independence gave to education 1t is
cited that the number OF primary
pupils has risen from $4,000 in pre-
war times to 100000 in 1922 and the
number OF secondary pupils in the

WrLLIAMsTowN, Mass. Aug. 4.-Oscai
T. Crosby, former Secretary of the Treas
ury. leading the discussion at the round
table on interallied debt at the Institute
Of Politics to-day. pointed out that the
United States had already waived claims
against Germany corresponding to the
remissions which Great Britain under
the terms Of the note by Earl BaifoIi
now offers to make.
LAS Earl Balfour now offers such
remissions in the light of concession
by the British Government" he said,
what / ask is that it shall be remem-
bered that we have already done a
similar thing.
1t is a fact perhaps not familiar to
those of you who have not followed the
matter closely that. In waving share
in the German demnities--reparation
is the more polite word-as they have
been now fixed. we have waived particu-
larly that portion which might have
been credited to us under the heading of
pensions, damages to civilians, &c. That
was the cause Of very much discussion in
Paris. as to whether there could be
legitimate claim against Germany for
injury to civilians. The controversy
ragged as to whether such questions
should be or should not be considered
as being consonant with the conditions.
1t was obvious that victors might Inn
pose any terms that victory might care
to impose upon the defeated
"In so far as we, therefore, waived
that we waived considerable portion
of one-half or two-thirds of this claim.
Our percentage of the 1872 milliards or
marks would have been very much
larger had we gone in for 1t at all. II
might not have been quite as much as
the British claim, but it would have
borne a proportion commensurate to the
troops in the field, not in France. but
furnished for the war"
Opinion at the round table leaned to
the conviction that the United States Is
under no obligation to take the initiative
in any movement looking to the cancel
lation OF the international obligations
growing. out of the war.
The constitutional right of the United
States to scale down its loans abroad

Sheepskin Sensibilities.

That ring Of sheep growing, wool

through wool tariff unexampled for
excessive rates and brazen as to all
sense of propriety so shocked and
outraged the American people that
other members of the Senate were
moved to demand Congress investi-
cation of the activities of fellow Sen
ators in thus making laws so enor-
mously affecting their own private
pockets. A resolution to that end was
suggested by a United States Senator
who is not sheep raiser and wool
grower and whose private pocket is
not benefited by the monstrous wool
tariff.
But sheep growing, wool raising
Senator, aided and abetted by other
sheep growing and wool raising SEN
ators, got ahead Of everybody else
with an investigating resolution as
extraordinary, not to say thick
skinned, as the wool tariff itself,
which had been made by the sheep
growing and wool raising Senators.
This investigating resolution of the
sheep growing, wool raising Senators
incidentally mentioned in an obscure
way the wool tariff made by the sheep
growing. wool raising Senators. But
In the main, in fact almost com.
pietely, the resolution clamored for
an investigation Of various persons
and varied interests all over the face
Of the earth-not persons and not
interests having had anything at all
to do with the monstrous wool tariff
which had been made by the sheep
growing, wool raising Senators.
No wonder. as the press dispatches
recount, for example in the New
York Times, veteran members of the
United States Senate declared it was
resolution the like of which was
never before submitted to the Senate. "
No wonder, as the press dispatches

Sheepskin sensibilities may be inn
penetrable, but when the great body
of the United States Senate was not
aghast at the thickness of those
sheepskin sensibilities it was split

touch OF Senate sense. But the tough
old sheepskin sensibilities Of the
Senators in the wool business survive

Discovering New York.

The London Daily Mail expresses
amazement at the zeal with which
the party of 300 American girl stu
dents who are travelling in England
are going about the discovery Of Lon
don. They, are asking the way to
places the average Londoner has
never heard of and which nine out
OF ten Londoners have never seen.
They display desperate enthusiasm
for dark alleys and ancient land
marks. which are as foreign to the
occupant of a Bloomsbury fiat as they
are to the dweller in a Harlem
"walkup."
If the indefatigable 600 were to
stop in New York on their return and
pursue their sightseeing here with
equal intensity they would discover
that the average New Yorker knows
about as much concerning his city As
the average Londoner knows about
his. or perhaps less. There is little
incentive for New Yorker to estab-
lish a thorough acquaintance with
New York. He knows that If to-day
he adds something TO his stock Of
information, tomorrow when he is
called upon to make some use Of Il,
changes will have occurred which
make his precautions valueless.
Once upon time the~New Yorker
had some practice in learning at
least little about few points Of
