Constantine Brown. former Minister
Of Justice Georges Bonnet and for
mer Minister of Education Yvon
Delbos were inclined to listen to
reasonable peace terms and have
been dropped from the ship of state.
In France no politician goes into
the oblivion they disappear tenn
porarily, biding their time.
The French general staff, which
is delighted to have its old chief, M.
Daladier, still at the head of the
national defense, agrees with the
war -to-the- -bitter-end policy al
though it is not quite clear yet how
and where it might begin. The
general staff is aware of Germanys
air superiority and believes that,
for while at least, the British
blockade of Germany will not yield
concrete results.
Good Will in Trenches.
In the meantime a new situation
has developed-a situation which
ought to concern the Germans as
much as the allies-regarding the
troops facing each other.
For almost seven months British,
French and German soldiers have
been almost friendly enemies. That
is to say, they have been in trenches
without fighting. These soldiers
despite what the orders from above
may behave lived lust across the
road" from each other and a kind of
neighborhood spirit has developed
between them.
They have been placed in strongly
fortified positions, provided with the
latest death dispensing implements
and yet they have not hurt each
other. 1t is true that the French
and the British soldiers shoot at the
posters displayed from the German
side inviting determination. But
rarely has a man been hurt. The
reconnoitering patrols generally re-
turn unharmed These are no longer
the death-spelling affairs they used
to be during the last war when the
majority of the men going on patrol
duty in no mans land knew that
they would be lucky if they escaped
| with only wound.
May Change TROOPS.
| Occasionally officers and men ex-
change conversations across the
barbed wire fields. Presents are
most frequent because there is little
that the Germans can barter. Their
cigarettes are bad and their food
nowhere as palatable as that of the
| French and the british
Under the circumstances, because
of this good neighbor feeling which
has been further rendered possible
by the fact that neither the allies
nor the Germans occupy the others
territory. the general staffs believe
that in the event of an offensive the
present first line troops ought to be
changed. There may be too much
good will for the poor fellow on the
other side of the trenches to make a
sustained bitter offensive possible.

Some of the most strange and
beautiful fish have been established
in aquariums, and of late years this
hobby has grown by leaps and
bounds. From all parts of the
world exquisitely colored and odd
shaped fish have been sought, and
much has been learned of their
habits. They make a colorful and
attractive addition to a room or
sun porch. True, they need under

conference report has been adopted
by both Houses, the struggle will
have been triumphantly ended.
For President Roosevelt has clearly
said he supports the measure
despite its criticism by two mem
bers of his cabinet, Secretary of
War Woodring and Secretary Of
Agriculture Wallace. He will sign it.
The Wheeler-Lea bin contains
other provisions of Importance. The
most controversial, however, has
been that placing the water carriers
under the Interstate Commerce
Commission for regulation and
rates, along with the railroads, the
pipe lines and the motor trucks.
The water carriers have been
regulated in varying degrees as to
rates, for a decade or more. The
United States Maritime Commission
at present exercises regulatory
powers over rates in coastwise and
intercoastal shipping.
Component Parts of a System.
The point, however, is that the
Wheeler-Lea bill seeks to regard all
forms of transportation in domestic
common carrier service as COM
ponent parts of a system which is
large enough to have use for all.
Edward P. Farley of New York, at
one time chairman of the United
States Shipping Board and at
present chairman of the Executive
Committee Of American Hawaiian
Steamship Co., made clear eXposi-
ton of the value of unified regula-
ton of all forms of transportation
so that fair and co-ordinated
rate structure may be built in the
public interest" He pointed out that
transportation is one subject, and
divided authority over it does not
make for public interest or the inter-
ests of the carriers themselves in
the final analysis.
The Wheeler-Lea bill still leaves
air transportation and its rates out
side the jurisdiction of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission-and
in the hands of the Civil Aero
nautics Authority And there it is
likely to stay. 1t is pointed out that
at present the air services handle
less than per cent of total pas
senger and freight traffic; that the
air services are still in the stage of
development-great as that has
already been.
Water borne traffic, however, has
always been large factor in this
country. In the absence of unified
regulation of rates. water carriers
have been in destructive competition
with each other. on the one hand
and with land carriers on the other
Mr.. Farley's opinion, as expressed
in answer to the Merchants Asso-
citation of New York. which opposed
the Wheeler-Lea bill along with
certain shippers interests. is that
competition is beneficial so long as
it does not result in the deteriora-
ton of a useful public service. He
added that it should not be allowed
, to work to give merchants and ship
pers necessary services at rates far
. below their economic value. That
it has worked in such wise is clear
from the financial condition of the
railroads and the shipping lines to-
day.
Requirements Not Provided.
One contributing cause of destruc-
tive competition in domestic ship
ping service was the unregulated
sale of Government owned ships at
low prices after the World War
Purchasers of these ships sought
quick profits through cut rates
making no provision for replace
ments which might become neces-
sary. They could do this because OF
