orats nor Republicans as a whole
are keen for passing It, Is one thing.
But TO repeal the new tariff law
whom the Republican majority is
still pledged to It, as It believes, and
when the Dem ooratio minority
hopes to Garry the country on that
issue two years from now, Is quite
another matter.
In the same way to talk OF wiping
out the Esch-Cummins railroad law
Is easy, but to do that Job with many
Democrats as we'll as the bulk of
the Republican membership deter
mined to improve the railroad sit
uation with suitable amendments to
the railroad act not for the sake Of
the carriers but for the sake OF the
country, calls for main strength in
greater measure than any group
or any party in Congress will possess
Il in the next two years.
The Centrist group can be and
ought to be an influence for good
and a force for prevention of bad
law making In the situation which
IS ahead of Congress and the Hard
Ing Administration. But II 1t is not
reasonable both in respect OF its am
bition to dominate the heavy legisla-
tive ranks OF the two regular par
ties and in respect OF its own pet
measures that It wants to put
through by vote trading schemes It
is not likely to get very far either
as an extemporized law making ma
chine or as the model OF a perma-
nent new party to rival the old ones.
Veteran Congress leaders are not
thrown into a panic and seasoned
political parties are not stampeded
by a handful of legislative free
lances that make the mistake OF go
ing to extremes. The best thing the
Congress Centrist group can do for
itself and for the country at this
juncture is to keep its head and
steer clear OF wild attempts at the
impossible.

Political conditions In Germany.
serious as they are, threaten to be
overshadowed by the economic
crisis. Germany is short OF food
stuffs and must import 2,000, 900
tons of grain during the next twelve
months IL widespread famine Is to
be avoided. The cost of this grain
would be s00,00O.0 900 marks at the
present rate of exchange, or twice
as much as the total paper money
circulation of Germany Where is
the money to come from; and who
is to furnish the grain7
Recently Chancellor wirth, seeing
the crisis in all it's seriousness an
nounced that the Reichsbank would
pledge 5OO,0OO.o0O gold marks IL
an equal sum could be borrowed
from abroad, the total to be used
in stabilizing the mark and thus en-
abling Germany to get on her feet
and arrange for feeding her peo-
pie. But nobody seems anxious to
step forward to lend 5OO,OOO,00O
gold marks to Germany. The inter-
national bankers who were so will
ing last year to arrange for credits
to Germany have lost their ardor,
because their plan to restore Ger
many's credit by abolishing her debt
TO the allies was not accepted. The
truth is that Germany has no credit
and can not gain any while there
Is hanging over her debt of prac-
tioally unlimited proportions, ool-
lectible In the last analysis by force.
The first duty Of the allies and Of
Germany, for the sake OF all con-
cerned, is to fix definitely the sum
that Germany owes.
Before 1870 Germany was an agri-
cultural country, and by hard work
her people wrested from the none
100 fertile soil the living they re-
luired. AS the population inoreas-

ndemnities to Germany which en-

pressure for food had caused heavy
emigration, notably to the United
States, but as industry developed
the people remained at home and
multiplied at a rapid rate. The inn
ports of food increased correspond
ingly, and Germany for over 40
years has imported at least one
third of her food supply. This food
cost about s0o,Ooo,oOo gold marks
year.
The bulk Of Gernnsny's food i'm
ports came from Russia. But Rus
sia Is now in famine condition,
and neighboring countries are near
ly as hard pressed for food, with
the exception OF Roumania and
Jugo-Slavis. These countries have
surplus, but the difficulty OF trans
porting It to Germany would be
well-nigh insuperable, while the
lack of wherewithsl on Germany's
part makes 1t a foregone conclusion
that Europe will not send her much,
If any food.

number OF insurgeant Republicans,

minority in the new Congress so
nearly even in numbers TO the con-
trolling Republican organization the
Centrlst group could convert the
minority into a majority upon oo-
casion. The advantageous position
Of those holding such balance OF
power is obvious.
But while that will mean a, strong
influence with both sides, the Cen

There is a second reason why the

is because they insist upon leading

There oan be no question of the
Middle West insurgency within the
Republican party. and there can be
no question that the recent election
has much increased it's fervor and
influence. Equally. as The Tribune
has pointed out, II the Fordneys and
McCumbers run the party during
the next two years there can be no
doubt that this insurgency will have
assumed alarming proportions and
that conditions will be ripe for a
serious split in 1924 or thereafter.
But when the correspondent of
THE New York Times" sits down
at his typewriter and builds a
third party out of Messrs. Johnson,
Borah, La Toilette and the farm
bloc, now complete and ready 10
launch and able TO float and sail, he
is anticipating events by a good long
distance. Any one who has watched
these vigorous individuals in their
daily round of legislative service will
be glad to explain why.
In the first place, there are already
signs that The Tribune,s view that
the Republican leadership in HoRse
and Senate must frankly recognize
the new forces In the party is widely
shared. Just how recognition can
be given In the Senate is a matter of
detail II once It is agreed that men OF
the Lenroot type must have a larger
say IN the counsels OF the party than
before. It IS The Tribune's hope and
belief that the Republican party is
not the private property OF few re-
actionaries, but Is still alive and
growing, able to wrestle with the
new problems OF the whole country.

STRIKE LOSSES.

From the Washington Post.
Government activities necessitated
by the shopmen's strike aggregated
more than $3.50, 900. This is only a
minor item of cost. Add to it the
loss to the railroads resulting from
the Gripping wallSout and the loss
to tho public from crippled service.
and the total to be debited TO that
strike will run ino appalling figures
A~i yet all the loss and cost were
avoidable. Nothing was accomplish
ed by the strike that could not have
been better and infinitely more eco
nomically accomplished by voluntary
settlement or through agencies OF
arbitration that were open to the
conflicting groups.
The fact that the contentious orig
inally involved were soon eliminated
and that the seniority issue which
prolonged the conflict was strike
created should drive home to all con-
cerDed the costly folly OF the strike
as n weapon of Industrial struggle.
The terms that form the basis for
tho numerous strike settlements al
ready effected are practically the
same as those offered at the date of
staging the walltout. The strikers
gained nothing and lost much by
their conduct. And the account. as
affecting the railroads and the pub
lie, runs along the same one-sided
lines. Those who resort TO the
strike when settlement via voluntary
agreement or arbitration Is attain
able merely court loss.
