ing over rundown and faulty CO.
ordinated industries.
The national problem with regard
to coal is not so much to end strikes
and seasonal shut-downs. or to reg
ulate wages and modernize working
conditions. 1t is to re-establish
standards OF public service. The
coal industry is uneconomically con-
Quoted. 1t is oyermanned and over
extended. Too many mines are op-
Grated. The miners have lost the
habit OF steady production. In a
key industry such conditions are
shocking. The cost of coal enters
inevitably into everybody's cost OF
living. The public Is injured when
waste and irregularity rule in coal
production.
The fact-findlng commission was
poorly christened. 1t does not have
to dig for facts. They are already
on the surface. It is expected not
only 10 diagnose patent evils, but TO
prescribe for them. It must go
energetically TO the aid of a sick in
dustry and an abused public. It
must offer remedies as wen as re-
cord conclusions.
The fact finders" therefore are
intrusted with an economic mission
Of the widest constructive possi-
bilities. They can restore the coal
industry to health, and thus add TO
the well-being of practically every
man, woman and child In the United
States. The public's best wishes go
with them in this urgent tank.

WHEN THE TIDE TURNS.
nm tba New york Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Ships under construction through
out the world on October l were
900. 900 tons less than in 1914. Pros
perity during the war has given way
TO the worst depression in a genera
tion. Vessels now being built are
not sufficient to provide for the
natural wreckage due TO age and
losses at sea.
This deficiency in building IS sure
TO result in time in a revival, when
the demand for ocean transportation
exceeds the supply Of available ton-
mage. At the moment Shere is a sur
plus Of shipping amounting to 49,
O0O, 900 tons in a total OF $4,000, 900,
but nearly one-fourth OF this great
fleet consists OF ships more than
twenty years old-the normal age
limit.
The decline in shipbuilding Is due
TO the fact that comparatively new
steamers can be purchased at one
half the price for which similar ves-
sells can be constructed. When ship
ping companies begin to replenish
their fleets they will order more

liners.
In 1919 the shipyards of this
country were building 60 per cent, OF
the worlds total. Today they are
constructing only per cent. The
future Of the American merchant
marine depends largely upon what
measures are taken to improve this
situation before the revival of build
ing arrives. There are the La Fol-
lette act and the. Volstead act to be
amended. There is the subsidy bill
to be considered and enacted in such
form as to foster both the operation
and the building of American yes
sells. There must be a new era OF
legislation designed TO upbuild our
ocean carriers. or American ship
ping will be left stranded when the
tide turns.

PASTOR TELLS OF
BIBLE HISTORY

In the Unitarian Church yesterday
morning the Rev. W. A. Vrooman
spoke about "Moses and the Begin
nings of our Bible. Mr.. Vrooman
said the traditional belief about the
Bible was founded upon the legends
of the Jews which arose during a
thousand years following the organ
izatlon of the nation by Moses. For
centuries the stories connected with
the early history were repeated in
vivid oriental style, the speaker said,
adorning historic events with mar
velous tales and miracles. About
500 B. c. the scribes OF the people
compiled the best OF these ancient
traditions and stories and codified
the laws and customs Of the people
In their present form" These
formed the basis OF popular educa-
ton and were given divine authority
by the rulers of the people.

SOME THINGS DEMOCRATIC
SPEAKERS WILL NOT MENTION

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
Democratic spellbinders VIII soon

bounced that the ubiquitous tariff
bill" will be one OF their chief points
OF attack.
That Of course Is to be expected
and there is no doubt that the new
tariff will come in for some en-
phatic denunciation.
However, for the sake of Demo-
cratic consistency. it is to be hoped
that few Of the hearers of these
spellbinders have been at pains to
keep an eye on Democratic action
toward the tariff. as disclosed in
that sprightly publication, the Con
gressional Record.
For example, Senator Ashurst, Of
Arizona, voted for protective duties
on citrate of lime, graphite. cattle,
wool. nuts. hides and several other
products in which the good people
Of Alabama are interested.
Sheppard, Of Texas. voted for a
long string OF protective tariffs, in
Guiding wool, hides and cattle.
Walsh, of Montana. voted for a half
dozen protective tariffs. including
wool, even voting against Senator
Lenroot's amendment fixing "a

Keeping Faith With The People
(From the Washington Post)

That the present administration
has not been shaken in its stand on
/ foreign debts by the gusts Of in
ternational sentimentalism that have
recently beat upon 1t and Is not NOV
ed to abandon the policy It has con-
sistently pursued from the begin
ming of its control by either external
or internal pressure for cancellation
or reduction that is now being
brought TO bear on 1t, Is established
by authoritative statements pointing
the course that II will henceforth
follow in dealing with this subject
and also pointing the course It will
not follow.
Being warm to Americas inter
ests the administration is cold to
agitation for debt cancellation or
reduction In the interest of Europe.
Realizing the obligations Of its stew
ardship, 1t is determined not to
jeopsrdize the nations credit inter-
ests by permitting debts owed
America to be dealt with as a sub
ordinate factor in Europe's eco
nomic problem. And realizing the
limitations imposed on IL by Con-
gress and by the will of the Ameri-
can people as repeatedly expressed.
the administration has made It plain
that 1t does not intend to embarrass
this nation by involving It in Euro
pean economic movements that aim
at effecting stabiliDa ton by dealing
with Indebtedness to this country as
inseparable from certain other prob
lems that now confront the nations
''over there"
The sentimentalists who are agi-
tating for cancellation apparently
fail to realize the evil consequences
that would inevitably follow such
dealing. And the special interests
that are urging IL evidently ignore
debts would break down the con-
hdenoe of peoples in governmental
obligations and would thus tend TO
undermine a faith that Is essential
to economic stability. And obvious
ly this would be accompanied or
followed by many other i'll results. !
While cancellation may seem TO be |
the easiest way out TO debtor ma
tions-in the long run It would not |
prove to be the best way out-for |
it would be at expense OF good faith
and sound economic principles. And |
certainly It would be neither the |
easiest nor the best way out for the
creditor nation. America granted |
the requests of the European ma
tons for loans with clear under
standing that they would be paid.

two were out of the city.
Fourteen Democratic senator's, or
nearly Ss per cent of the entire
Democratic membership, voted for
amendments that would increase the
rates of duty on various eommodi-
ties. Seventeen. or AZ per cent.
voted against amendments that
would reduce the rate Of duty.
The Democratic spellbinders will
not call attention to this record. But
it may be we'll for citizens who are
in danger of being too strongly i'm
pressed by their general defamation
TO bear in mind that there is a good
deal of difference between a Demo
cratic orator denouncing the tariff
on the stump and a Democratio sem
ator cannily figuring that the tariff

| Ing against cancellation.
The statement that the admins
tration will not participate in Euro
pean conferences to the extent OF
discussing the debts owed this coun-
try as a matter to be dealt with in
the solution of Europe's other prob
lens, Is confidence inspiring TO the
American people who are the real
creditors. For under the guidance
of certain leaders OF the debtor ma
tons, such discussion would un-
doubtedly be directed to cancella-
ton or reduction-and America
would have nothing TO gain and all
TO lose by such participation.
In taking and maintaining posi-
ton against debt cancellation or re-
duction, the administration has
kept faith with the people. For
Il Is on their shoulders as bond
holders and as taxpayers that
the loss from cancellation or
reduction would fall. The funds
delivered to the debtor nations
or turned over TO their account
were obtained by popular bond sub
scription. In thus subscribing. the
government, advanced money TO the
debtor governments, on the strength
of their faith that the debts thus
created would be paid, reinforced
by faith in their own governments
ability and intent to effect payments.
Those who urge cancellation or re-
duction on the Washington govern
ment urge breach of faith with the
American people.
The Administrations stand on this
question is in accord not only with
the plainly expressed will of the peo-
pie but with the viii of Congress.
As the task of dealing with foreign
debts has been placed with the
funding commission-the power so
to deal vested in that body not ex-
tending TO cancellation or reduction
the administration is clearly with
out authority TO effect cancellation
or reduction. Therefore, It would
clearly be unwarranted in entering
European discussion that unques-
tionably would bring this subject
to the fore. AS the representative |
agency OF the American people, its |
plain duty is to avoid embarrassing |
the nation by participation Of that
sort.
AS result Of the Wilson regimes
meddling in Europe. |
The American people have had more |
than enough of such embarrassment, !
and will applaud the administra-
ions determination to guard against
L in dealing with this subject in the |
'uture. as II has done in the past
