German Generalization.

Not only is the German mark fallen
to the point of practical vanishment,
with Berlin quotation yesterday of
five million to the dollar, but the Ger
man government itself Is in a serious
decline. Chancellor Cuno's appear
ance yesterday before the reichstag
evidenced an extreme weakness of the
administration which he heads and
which may collapse suddenly under
the strain of socialist and communist
attack with only the half-hearted and
lukewarm support of the bourgeoisie
party. While a vote of confidence
may be given, it will. it would seem,
he accorded only because of the belief
that another ministry cannot at this
time be formed under a sufficiently
strong leadership to hold it together.
Back of this ministry is Hugo SHINES,
the Industrial magnate of Germany.
SHINES yesterday heard the chan
cellor'S statement of the situation,
which was expressed in unconvincins
terms. Himself denounced by the So
cialists, whose Satire outcries pune
tuated CunO's speech, he was thus
brought to the front and is conse.
quently today more under fire than
Cuno himself, who is rated as SHINES
representative.
While the chancellor was speaking
yesterday the reichstaG building was
invaded by large force of reds, who
demanded and nearly won admittance
to the chamber. They were finally
persuaded to depart, shouting Down
with Cuno and the bourgeoisie; pay us
in food, not in worthless paper: long
live the soviets,''
The one plain deduction from the
chancellor's speech yesterday is that
the government at Berlin is deter
in the Ruhr and to support by aid
from the unoccupied territory the
population of the Ruhr engaged in
this negative warfare against French
occupation. In other words, Germany
decides to maintain its present policy,
evidently hoping for a break between
France and England. But the chan
cellor could not venture so far as TO
support the British proposal as ex-
pressed in the latest note on the sub.
ject from that source. Had he done
so he would have exposed himself
to instant denunciation from all sides.
So he scored that fote as we'll as the
French policy. which left him in a
negative position togard the interna-
tionai forces.
Financial measures are indicated
which, it is confessed. will be only
for temporary relief and will not cure.
Cuno acknowledged thai the ultimate
real cure of our finances will only he
possible when our foreign political sit
uation is clarified and the reparation
problem regulated in a manner bear.
able for u.s." Whatever is done
meanwhile is only a palliative de-
signed to "check the imitation and
collapse of the currency."t
The German currency has already
collapsed. The exchange rate is de,
scending at a pace that the chancellor
himself indicated would carry il to
below ten million to the dollar within
week. which is virtually the van
ishing point.

dent was not only to the man, but
to the Office and to the flag. The

mains of Harding were borne was
marked, not by signposts. but by dou-

the late President Harding in the
course Of utterances in the extension
of their disloyal program Were out

attack. 1t might be said truly that
any time is bad time for the pro
motion of disloyalty and defamation,
but this occasion was exceedingly in

been borne through Ohio, from west
to east, passing a few miles below
Toledo. and doubtless there were To-
ledo citizens among the earnest and
sad-faced citizens who stood reverent-

station.
The population was aroused to
patriotism, to renewed love for the

office. The press reports say that the
two radicals were dragged from the
platform, carried out OF town and the

rations to hang them when the mis-,
creants suddenly had change of
heart. One of them was a woman,
but that made no difference to the
crowd. The outcome was that they
recanted. kissed the flag and swore
allegiance to the United States.
This incident should serve as a
warning to the disaffected that they
would do well to lie low and keep

Coal Action Proposed.

The United States Coal Commits
sion, in d supplementary report on
the anthracite coal industry, submit
ted to President Coolidge, offers "a
plan under which the Chief Executive
iE the future might act to prevent IA
coal strike. The plan, however, is
not radical, and really proposes the
use of public opinion as a deterrent.
Under the proposed plan, the Presi-
dent is to be apprised by the oper-
ators and the miners when they have
been unable to reach an agreement
sixty days before the expiration of the
old contracts. With all the arguments
and facts presented by both sides, the
President is to appoint one or more
persons to make an investigation and
to submit report before the term of
the old contract runs out. Such ii
plan might we'll act as a deterrent.
But there is no definite assurance
in it that a strike could be and would
be prevented.
Furthermore, in the existing diff
culties between the miners and the
operators in the anthracite field not
sixty days, but twenty-one days, re-
main before the old contracts eX-
pire. The United States Coal Com
mission has made an exhaustive study
of conditions in the field in order to
aid in preventing strike. Yet the
deadlock continues TO threaten a
strike.
President. Coolidge. however, is eX-
peCted by his supporters to take ac-
ton within the next two weeks, if the
miners and operators continue un-
yielding, to halt strike in the hard
coal field. just what this action can
be or will be is still nebulous, so far
as the public is informed. But call
ers who have discussed with him in
the last few days the coal situation
have expressed their confidence that
the President will act. Action before
a strike would be preferable to
waiting until strike is actually un-
der way, with all its dislocation of the
ordinary processes and possible vio-
lence. Preventive measures in an
Industrial diseased condition are just
as valuable as preventive measures
against physical disease.
One recommendation of the com
mission in its supplementary report,
not the only one, is worth real con-
sideration. II calls for ID sufficient
SeparatiOn in time of the renewal of
the anthracite contract and the re-
newal of the bituminous agreement,
SO that the country should not be
threatened with a simultaneous ces-
sation of mining of both kinds of
fuel.
