German Confiscation Referendum
Demonstrates Republican Strength

while only 100000 opposed it. Under
the terms of the law, q ma jority of
all the voters of the empire. or about
20 900, 900, were necessary to make
the vote effective in the Reichstag.
Abstention of the opponents of con-
fiScation defeated the measure, yet
the animosities and hatreds evoked
by this election. as well as the issue
at stake will make it noteworthy in
the history of Republican Germany.
The 100000 votes in favor of
taking the property of the former
ruling heads without compensation
approximates the Republican party
vote in the German presidential elec-
tions in the Spring of 1925 when the
total vote cast was roughly 30,000.-
600, and is interpreted as a guar
antee of the continuing of the pres
ent regime, despite the failure of the
measure to receive the required vote.
The new compromise bill. already
presented in the Reichstag. is de-
veloping an unusual interest among
all parties. but whatever its fate the
anger accumulated during the refer
endum vote will continue in evil
dence in the German Parliament.
Fortunately an equilibrium is being
established between the Right and
Left parties.
All in all. the republic seems to
have come out of the issue thus far
with a renewed hold. Confidence in
its stability is manifested by the
very considerable advance in Ger
man securities of all kinds.

The Department of Justice has re-
Gently announced that the increa sed
use of automobiles and trucks has in
creased commercial frauds through
out the country by permitting the
spiriting away Of goods in the night
time to distant localities under con-
ditions which battle the most careful
work Of investigators. Such facilities
are also ready at hand for the success
of organized law violations through
fraudulent bankruptcies.
Unfortunately, our processes OF
criminal law have not advanced with
our inventions to promote speedy
escape Notwithstanding the telephone,
the radio and the finger print. The
ingenuity of our lawmakers does not
parallel the ingenuity Of our pure or
our applied scientists and our me.

Crime as Business.
One pauses to wonder, facetiously.
whether it would not have been a
profitable adventure if our founders
had provided rewards for the encour-
agement of devisers of methods to de-
tect and bring criminals to punitive
justice, as we'll as for the promotion
Of the progress Of science and the
useful arts. or even whether an effec-
tive method of criminal justice would
not be a new and useful invention or
discovery under existing law.
When one begins to study the crime

Belgian franc goes up and down in
sympathetic relation to the French
franc. Today we are told that the.
grand effort for definite stabiliza-
ton of the Belgian franc will be made
at once with the aid of foreign loan
of the equivalent of $60,000,000 or
more, at least half to be f1oated in

that the operation is to be again post

France and Germany.-No doubt DR..
Stressemann's assertion at Geneva
importing German innocence in re-
gard to the origin Of the war was
merely an amiable by-product Of a
"bierabend," but, in the interest OF
that Franco-German accord which
Stresemann has declared to be the
grand goal Of his policy and the pas
sionate desire of his life. it were we'll
that the logomachy so started should
be ended at, once. Stresemann had
the unhappy inspiration the other day
to drag Mr.. Coolidge into the contrO-
versy. He quoted Mr.. Coolidge to the
effect that it was Europe's economic
troubles that plunged the world into
war. The proper comment on this is
the tritest of truisms; namely, that
a quotation apart from it's complete
text, or in a connection foreign to the
drift of the speaker or writer. is apt
to be the most misleading thing in
the world.
But. the whole controversy is ster
lie and it's prosecution. can only dam.
age the prospect of that Franco-Ger-
man accord no doubt desired by DR..
Stresemann and by the great ma
jority of both the French and the
German peoples.
We must assume that Stresemann
is merely awkward and not malev-
olent; that there is no justification for
the charge made by some of the
French journalists that the sole OBJ
ject of Germany i'll joining the league
was to bore from within, to under
mine the treaty. On that assumption
Of Stresemann's good faith, a state
ment made by him at the recent con-
gress of the National Peoples party
is of extraordinary importance, in
dicating, as it does, that at last the
Peoples party Uhe party of the great
industrialists) has definitely and
irrevocably cast in its lot with the
republic I'VE (of the Peoples parity

He went on to chide bitterly the
Nationalists for cherishing dreams of
revenge and for obstructing his policy
of rapprochement with France. He
bitterly asserted that the Nationalists
offer a prayer each morning as

"Give us this day our daily illusion"
He concluded: 81 believe that Franco.

Certainly this formal and emphatic
announcement of the Peoples party's
acceptance of the republic is de-

Some of the burden bearers are bare
footed men and women, but generally
they wear boots. Some are clothed
partly in leather or other stout ap.
parel proof against wear and weather.
Some are bare-headed, but the women
usually wear the headdress common to

Passengers, Not Freight. Pay.
These peasants know their business,
too. They have regular customers.
and the steam cars are no mystery or
terror to them. They do not become
panicky when the warning whistle
blows. They hustle past the train
guards, showing their passbooks. In
fact, the guards seem to know them
and only take q cursory look at the
tickets. Returning homeward, these
producers carry great loaves of bread
from the bakeships, or perhaps water
melon in season, or other wares for
potatoes. Thus the long trains are
laden both ways and profit is claimed
by the state for the railroads. It must
come from the passenger service and
the peasants, for the freight traffic is
below pre-war normal.
Northwestern Russia Is level plain,
and long trains are pulled at good

" HE following is a brief sum-
mary of the most important
news of the world for the
1 seven days ending October 3:
The British Empire.-The
British coal miners have turned down,
hv vote of $4,000 to $4,000. Mr..
Baldwin's proposal contemplating a
compromise between the method or
national agreement (which the min
ers wanU and the method of district
agreements (Which the owners Want)
in wage determinations.
Most friends of Britain will regret
the miners action. since 1t opens up
the probability, after period or great
bitterness not imposslbly involving
disorders, of a complete present VIC
tory for the owners, with ultimate
consequences disastrous to the own
ers, to the industry, to the realm. AS
the strike continues, the Germans
grow more and more confident (and
with ever-increasing justificatlonl OF
permanently holding the markets
taken over from the British.
Following the vote above noted, the
delegates conference of the minors
passed by large majority a VICIOUS
resolution in favor of withdrawing the
safety men from the mines. Pre-
sumablv action in this sense VIII not
be. taken without prior approval by
the whole body of the miners.

Mesopotamia) the enterprise to be
subsidized during it's first five years

from Cairo to Karachi will be about
$3.50, this to cover meals and sleeping

and each will be able to carry % fully
armed and equipped soldiers besides
it's crew, gunracks and folding seats

craft will be able to rush 200 soldiers
to a danger spot in a few hours, as
against several days using ordinary
desert transport.
In almost every respect Canada is
in a place of buoyant prosperity. 1t

ments in Canada have increas sed by

encouraging increase in the earnings

the Canadian National Railways.
The Hon. Vincent Massey has been
designated as the first minister from
Canada to the United states. Mr..
Massey will take up his residence at
Washington after his return to this
side of the water from London where
he will participate in the imperial
conference to open October 10. The
Canada legation at Washington would
