tust publicly declared that the ,gov-
eminent should build additional high
c.ass ships for that trade or get
out OF the business. The federal bud
get committee indicates a disposition
to reduce the number of lines and
ships under the American flag in
foreign trade. and congress SO far
has indicated no disposition to op-
pose this policy. 4l
Disinterested observation OF the
situation leads US to believe that the
shipping board is trying to do more
for American shipping In foreign
trade today than any other branch
of the government. and were the
shipping board properly backed up
a wholly creditable and : enduring
American marine would be estab-
lished under the American flag in
foreign trade. This explains why we
should regret changes IN the ship
ping board that would check this
tendency. or that would turn over
al of the power of: operating and
disposing OF our government-owned
merchant ships to the fleet corpor-
alton. because. we fear. this would
lead to the gradual extinction of
American shipping In foreign trade
precisely what our foreign rivals
most desire.

Danger to American
Shipping

Congress seems to be the last hope
of American shipping in foreign
trade, and It seems to be a very for
lorn hope at that. At the moment

government-the executive and leg
islative lbranche.-is not very. prom
Using for the American merchant
marine. What our foreign rivals
most desire our government seems
quite disposed to grant-the gradual
illumination Of American shipping
from foreign trade.
The most Immediate danger that
we perceive. is the proposed transfer
blythe shipping board OF full power
to the head OF the emergency fleet
corporation to deal with our govern
meht ships as he ssees fit. This. we
believe. would mean fewer American
lines, and fewer American, ships in
foreign trade. T%wo-thirds OF our for
eigp commerce is carried in foreign
ships, while enough American ships
to do the greater part OF that carry
ing. are now laid up. There has been
some irresponsible talk about in

What Would We Do?

A number Of Britishers have recent

American opinion on the Anglo

anxious to convince America that

fled in Its refusal to submit the
Egyptian question to the league OF
nations.
America needs little convincing on
that score. Americans generally I'M

as to questions which could not, un-
der any circumstances. be turned
over to the league for solution. The
British naturally have a greater va
riety of reserved" interests because
of their vast multiplicity of con
tracts with other peoples. within
and beyond the empire, and within
and beyond the league.
That being appreciated in Amer
lea, 1t would seem that British eff

superfluous. And yet there are
Americans who. realizing. fof ex-

The Certainties

We are told by that ancient wisdom which
made prudence her dwelling that we must not
boast ourselves of tomorrow, seeing that We know
not what a day may bring forth. But there are
some things which every day brings forth. There
is duty at least and temptation and d~rudgery and
mystery and love. 1t is true that there are many
mere possibilities to hold against these certain
ties, which by their indiscernible issue lend zest
to living. The year may bring a great intellectual
discovery or a large professional disappoint-
ment; it may enrich us with a surprising friend
ship or change our sphere of activity. But are
not the certainties more essential to high and
purposeful living than the uncertainties? Should

VIII Oppose

President Lynch of the International Typo.
graphical Union says: Proposal for an increase
in the second class postal rates, to provide for
an increase in wages of postal workers, will be
opposed by the international Typographical
Union. We believe that it is bad social policy to
place this load on the nations newspapers and
magazines. The printed matter carried in second
class mail constitutes by far the greatest educa.
tional force in the country. To reduce the number
of publications or to curtail circulation would
be a crime against society. Postal workers are
undcrpaid, and the $685. 0 900 needed to cover
the proposed wage increase would be money well
spent. The United States postal service was not
established to make it self-sustaining.'

Caught Again

The allied Watch on the Rhine will not end

Germany has been caught cheating again. The
allies will stay at the Cologne bridgehead. How
long they will stay depends on Germany. She
has not carried out the treaty's disarmament
clauses. When the British refused to back the
French occupation of the Ruhr in 1923 Germany
jumped TO the conclusion that allied unity was
done, the entente was dead and she could do as
she pleased. Her armed forces were not reduced
TO 100000 men, as agreed. She permitted the max.
ing of field pieces, machine guns, rifles and
other war Materials. \ revived allied arms com

Therefore the troops stay on the Rhine despite

years ago the allies were at odds. This time they
were significantly unanimous and it is as wise
as it was unanimous.
