American Diplomacy.
The Washington Conference a Tri-
umph OF international Law.

To THE NEW York HERALD: As Amer
lean diplomacy energies triumphant from
the Washington Conference it may not
be without interest to allude to Count
Andrassy's interesting book Diplomacy
and the War" He declares that "the
action of state is determined by the
view which is taken of the interests
concerned" He illustrates statesman
ship as calculating these Influences; as
designed to bring about such circum-
stances as will appear to be in the in
terests OF the state when Viewed In the
light of a desired policy, and as pro-
noting at home and abroad the course
Of such policy. AtN
He derides the notion that nations are
guided by eternal laws. However, In
the conduct of American foreign rela-
tions, despite Count Andrassy to the
contrary, there are very definite and
positive centrifugal and centripetal
forces to be estimated and allowed for.
nice balance between the discretionary
authorities OF the Government of the
United States and its duties. as well as
its rights, by the accepted principles OF
International law. In this the trainers
OF the Constitution sought to adjust
economic. social and political forces to
the delicate control of the law Of ma
lions and of fundamental public Justice
between nations.
We have seen this law vindicatcd ;
the great nations bow to its mandate,
and this without an alliance or a league
but by the moral constraint of the law
OF nature and of nations. The school
OF Metternich and his followers has
passed. The positivists In international
law can find no sanction for its rule
but in It's moral suasion, and so come
back to the great principles Of funda-
mental private right and international
justice by which the Constitution for
ever constrained the people and govern
ment OF the American Republic.
The advancing obligation of interna-
'tional law addresses itself to the In
ternal restraint Of public administrative
law. and Is INDICATED anew In the

East and West in Canada.

In the prairie provinces Of Canada's
Far West there are rnen, and women
who. like some citizens Of olr West
ern States. feel they hare grievances
against the East. They assert. with
every evidence Of sincerity that their
interests are neglected by the Gov
eminent at Ottawa, Just as some of
the people of our plains States con-
tend that their interests are not pro-
tected at Washington.
In the three great provinces Of
Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta
the anti-East feeling latterly has
reached. such point that the most
radical discuss secession. There are
those who suggest. setting up an in
dependent State free from Ottawa
control. Thus far there is no orr
ganized movement to promote this
division. No public official has even
indirectly committed himself to it.
1t is just talk, and not newspaper
talk at that. for no newspaper has
Endorsed the suggestion. The most
that any paper has done. is to throw
its columns open to free and unlim-
tied discussion Of the subject. The
debaters are all writer's of letters to
the editor. In the Manitoba Free
Press, the Saskatoon Press and the
Regina Leader great numbers of such
letters have been printed.
The secession arguments seem to
turn chiefly on advantages in the
way Of access to American markets
that might accrue from legislative
freedom Of action on the part of the
great farming provinces. 1t is ar
gued that tariff schedules, freight
rates and control Of natural resources
could be better adjusted to local
needs by an Independent State than
Is possible under the Dominion.
The discussion Is not taken seri-
ously In eastern Canada. The To-
ronto Globe regards It merely as
symptomatic of prairie province dis
content under transitory conditions.
That newspaper points out the diff
culties under which the prairie prov
inces would labor as an independent
nation, separate colony or domin-
ion. Such new nation or dominion
would have no Atlantic or Pacific
port. The Globe believes the western
Canadians will not carry the idea of
secession very far when once they
understand all that It involves politi-
cally and economically.
At bottom the people Of the prairie
provinces are conservative. Their
loyalty to the British Empire is as
stanch and firm as that Of any other
member Of Britannia's family. This
has been convincingiy demonstrated
in their responses to the calls to arms
the empire has made to them. Talk
Of secession is one thing the act of
seeding Is something very different
with prudent men.

would never do merely to vote that q
soldier bonus should be paid with
out providing the ways and means
by which it actually could be paid.
Whether members Of Congress were
acting on their honest convictions
that the soldiers should get the bonus
or whether members of Congress
were merely bidding for soldier votes
at the polls next fall. they could
scarcely fail to comprehend that to
hand the soldiers the hollow shell of
a bonus bill. with no cash in It, would
bring down upon their heads the
wrath of the deceived soldiers as we'll
as the contempt Of the rest Of the
public.
To carry good faith even with the
bonus seekers, therefore, Congress. il
1t is going to pass a bonus bill, must
make sure that the money, to pay the
bonus will be forthcoming. Congress
cannot simply draw on the Treasury
for the cash to pay the bonus. The
money is not in the Treasury and it
will not be in the Treasury, as Sec
rotary MELLON warns, unlegs special
provision is made to raise it and put
it there to meet the bonus outgo.
Congress cannot leave it to any
body else to find the money. to pay
the bonus; IL 1t does it will not be
found and cannot be found.
Congress cannot simply give the
Secretary Of the Treasury authority
to sell bonds enough to raise the
bonus payments. Secretary MELLON
has explained that to refund six and
a half billions Of obligations, which
he must take care Of In the next
fifteen to sixteen months, he already
has more bonds to place than he has
yet been able to figure out how to
place successfully.
Under these dark and gloomy CIR
cumstances there is only one way for
Congress to play fair with the bonus
seekers, whatever it may mean to
the general public, If Congress really
means TO give the bonus. This way,
as Secretary MELLON has shown, is
to levy special bonus taxes directly
on the public.
Secretary MELLON has pointed out
that some of the bonus money could
be raised by bonus stamp tax max
ing everybody pay three cents in
place OF two on every letter to pro-
duce $4,000. 900; a bonus stamp tax
on second class postage to produce
$4,000, 900; bonus stamp tax on
bank checks to produce $30,000,000;
a bonus tax on automobiles or gaso-
line to produce 500, 200, 900: bonus
tax on documents to produce $40,-
100000, and on top Of all the other
taxes that are now imposed on ciga-
rettes and on other tobacco a bonus
tax to produce s25,o00.0o0.
Even all these bonus taxes would
not be enough to meet the bonus pay
ments. but OF course special sugar,
tea and coffee bonus taxes could be
made to produce the rest.
Chairman FoRDNEY of the Ways
and Means Committee says 1t is a
certainty that within two weeks the
House of Representatives will pass a
bonus bill. But whether the House
or the whole Congress passes 1t
within two weeks or later, special
bonus taxes to raise at least $425,-
100000 year for the first two years
must be tied up in the same legisla-
tive package with the bonus bill, SO
that when the soldiers get their
bonus measure from Congress they
will gss their hard cash from the
American taxpayers.

When man after twelve years Of
experimental labor discovers a way
to reduce the cost OF the care and
repair of railway. locomotives from
$500 to $1,000 a year. he still has
before him the task of convincing
the master mechanic before he can
get his scheme adopted. But the lat
ter ought not to be. criticized II his
attitude ia, skeptical.
e The master mechanic Of d great
railway system employing three thou
sand locomotives Is likely to be from
Missouri: he requires to be shown.
A half baked experiment might
cost the company a sum expressed
in six figures; and this has happened
so many times that railroad officials
have been known to reject inventions
subsequently. proved to be of value
because sure things previously urged
upon them had proved expensive
failures.
That was why G. H. KorL, water
engineer, was received coldly even
after he had demonstrated that his
method of water treatment for loco
motive boilers had passed the expert
mental stage. Throughout the mid
die Western States most of the water
available for making steam contains
small amount of mud or an excess
of alkali, or both. The result is ex-
cessive foamiig of the water in boil
ers at times, and when foam instead
OF steam goes into thes cylinders the
locomotive will not do its work.
1t was long believed that the alkali
caused the foaming. It required much
effort to convince the master mechan-
les that the trouble was due to mud
and hard scale and not to alkali. Then
another wrong theory got In the way
and for time delayed the introduc-
ton of systems of purifying the
water before 1t went into the boiler.
Several boiler compounds were in.
vented and put into use. They soft
ened the hard scale and reduced IT
to a pasty sludge which could be
blown Off.
For an average freight locomotive
run the boiler chemicals cost less than
one dollar. Moreover. they could be
| injected without loss Of time. TO wash
out the boiler at the end Of run
cost more than three dollars. In
order to demonstrate the value of his
process Mr.. K0YL was required to
show that interior chemical treatment
of the water at 80 cents, was ulti-
mately more expensive than washing
out the boiler at SO and more. An
exhibit of perforated boiler flues and
corroded joints was the object lesson
with which he proved his case.
So far as the chemistry Of water
treatment is concerned Mr.. KoYL adj
vocated nothing that had not been
demonstrated years before. His sue.
cess in purifying boiler water is
merely a matter Of physical treat
ment.
! Yet It Is not surprising that railway
officials require conclusive results be-
fore they can be persuaded to spend
half million or a million dollars
for the erection of water treating
plants, even when saving Of sew.
eral million dollars in a single year
may be the result. Prudent business
men must bear in mind the posi-.
bilities Of losses as well as gains
That is one of the obstacles inventors
have to overcome.
