The disclosures from the State Department at
Washington concerning the sharp exchange Of notes.
in 1916. between our government and the government
Of England are extremely interesting. 1t is some
what surprising to learn that at one time, due to
England's interference with American sea-borne
commerce, the severance OF diplomatic relations was
actually a possibility.
This being 50, one is moved more than ever to mar
vel at the excessive stupidity Of the German govern
ment in declaring unrestricted submarine warfare.
That step pushed American troubles with England in
to the background and brought America into the
war against Germany. If the German government
had set itself to cultivate American goodwill, history
might have taken a much different course.

Real Christianity

In the state Of Ohio there Is a religious sect whose

tons on their garments. They have no use for such
things as radios. autos, movies. Photographs.
Queer? Yes, indeed. But the other day an Amish
community heard that there were thousands Of men
in Cleveland who could not get work and who, in
consequence, could not eat. And at once the Amish
loaded their wagons with farm produce and trekked
all the way to the city, to serve free meals to the

Federal Aid and State Cooperation

TEXAS has a Law. the intent and purpose of which
Is to supply funds to match federal aid and indie
pendent ~ the necessity OF exacting local funds from
county and road district bond issue" editorializes
tie Texas Highway Magazine. The condition and
status 81 improvement Of the designated federal aid
highway mileage Is Better than the purely state aid
highways where no federal aid is applicable"
Lest we :orget the federal government is taking
steps 10 make available the annual apportionmer.
of federal aid for 1882 TO states before it would other
wise be available in July 1881, in order to assist In
alternating the present depressed economic con-
ditions.r In other words TO give employment to farm
ers in drouth districts as well as those who are not
farmers but are clamoring for work for idle hands
to do.
1t is another reminder that Texas annual appor-
tionment OF federal aid under the recent act Of con-
gress Is s~7.620239. out Of the total Of sl2l .875, 900 al
lotted to the state the largest sum ever appropriated
BY congress for annual distribution. Texas Highways
Magazine makes this comment:
Texas VIII have a hard time meeting this alot-
ment on an annual basis not 70 say taking advantage
Of federal aid being advanced before it was intended
to be available for the purpose Of assisting in drouth
relief. There is another barrier to be broken. II the
editor Of Texas Highways Magazine knows whereof
he speaks:
1T Just isn't possible to match federal aid money
dollar for dollar on highway construction because
federal aid is limited 70 $4,000 per mile and federal
MD does not participate in preliminary costs such as
for acquisition OF riqht-of-way. surveys and prepara-
ton OF plans.
State Highway Commissioner Cone Johnson re-
minds Texas that 1t IS very easy for the commission
TO tie up TIE entire amount of state money in pro-
jects on which the federal government will match
dollars" That would leave us with no money TO do
anything else and no money to take care OF the high
ways that are not federal aid projects; that II we are
going To put All our money on the federal projects
then we just become a bureau down here Just to do
rs the federal government says In routing Of high
ways. in type ~ construction and in deciding on what
construction shall be done"
If correctly quoted Commissioner Johnson intimat-
cd that the federal grant will not do much to speed
up construction IN Texas until after the first Of next
year when state road funds are abundant again.
