The American experiment, Dr. Wriston
argues, was genuine new order. For
the first time the citizen was explicitly
placed at the center and the state was
made his servant.
In January, 1910, the State Depart
ment set up a committee, with Under
secretary Welles as chairman, to study
the long-range effects of war policies.
1t was sometimes known as "the Peace
Plan Committe." According to unoffi-
cial report, one valued textbook was DR..
Wriston's Prepare for Peace!"
1t presents a searching ANALYSIS of
tactical flaws in the organization of the
American delegation to the Paris Con-
ference, and also an astute prospectus of
terms on which any durable peace
treaty must be founded.
1t rejects reparations as self defeating.
One suggestion is that the State De-
partment should create a foreign service
college to train picked diplomats in the
grand strategy of peace.
Nominally Republican, DR.. Wriston
Is so detached from partisanship as to

strengthen the party happening at the
moment to be down. He has written
Shattering blasts against Republican
tariffs, and excoriated the foreign policy
of the Harding Hoover era as a ruinous
flight from reality" which cannot be
absolved of responsibility for the current
war.
Far from being devotee of laissez
falre, he acknowledges that even in time
OF peace Government regulation had be-
come imperative in many areas. He
insisted, however, that Federal agencies
should not attempt management. but
limit themselves to regulation-and as
little of that as possible.
Long a convert to collective bargain
ing, he is on record as lamenting that no
representative of the Department of
Labor was summoned to the Paris Peace
Conference, and as declaring that even
IN wartime labor should not be de-
prived of its fundamental rights" But
the Wagner Act, he believes, was delib-
erately framed as an engine of class
injustice.
In the speech accompanying the WAL
lace incident, Dr Wrlston attacked the
New Deal on the novel ground that it
had "misinterpreted the machine age"
The high function of the machine. he
declared, is the creation of wealth for
mankind on scale never before known.
He brushed chronological employment
aside as a detail of transition, with the
remark that it is easier today for a
worker to shift from one assembly line
to another than it was in the past to
restrain himself in new handicraft.
He defined autarchy as a regime of
scarcity substitutes and impoverishment: -

abundance.
While waging what was then an un-
declared war in behalf of democracy, he
went on, the Roosevelt administration
had adopted many totalitarian practices,
demonstrating thereby that "incoher-
ence" is certain when politics endeavors
to absorb an activity so alien as eco
nornics.

a few other current
difficulties illustrate
the chasm between
the policies and
thinking of AFL

Here are some of
the reasons why:

For more than two weeks these men

their lives to that highly concentrated
nourishment
The latest findings of the science of nu-

into devisng balanced rations for soldiers

. Tacoma Needs Naches Pass


One conclusion drawn from the recent
meeting of the Washington State Good
Roads association al Bellingham Is that
Tacoma never will get break on the
cross-state traffic until the Naehes pass
highway cutoff is built. Over a period of
years there has been cumulative evidence
To that effect. The climax is the SUCCESS
full opposition of Seattle interests to the
proposal 10 open Chinook Enormously
called Naches) pass highway 10 light truck
traffic for the remainder of this season
to relieve Snoqualmie pass congestion.
The proposal was made some time ago
by the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce at
the request of Pierce county truckers and
independents hauling produce over the
mountains, much of it going to Fort
Lewis and McChord Field. Ii was assumed
that the prohibition against commercial
traffic on the highway, which crosses n
corner of Rainier National park, would be
waived to meet emergency conditions
growing out of the military requirements.
The proposal grew out of the eongested
traffic conditions on the Snoqualmie pass
highway. Added 10 the increasing civilian
traffic, the movement of army conveys
over that route created condition with
dangerous potentialities, which would be
modified in part by routing east and west
bound empty trucks over Chinook.
The matter was taken up with the
proper authorities but Immediately met
with the opposition of Seattle interests
and some members of the state highway
department. Finally. when ii came before
the advisory highway commission five
members. without hearing the Tacoma
argument, voted three to two in the neg
alive. The chairman. Tom ". Holman,
Seattle attorney, cast the deciding vote.
At the Bellingham convention the
highway commission held rehearing with
Seattle and Tacoma represented. The Ia
coma argument was that permitting the
use of Chinook highway would relieve the
Snoqualmie congestion and, being a short
err route, would conserve tires and gaso-
line. Seattle representatives repeated the
argument that because Chinook was pri-
marily a tourist highway and touched the
national park ii couldn't be done.
The commission took the proposal up in
executive session but had not reported
when the convention adjourned Now it is
learned that the commission took no fur
Their action. Why, nobody knows.
The Times has no patience with inter-
city pickering and brawling but there is
time when tolerance ceases to be vir-
tue. For many years Tacoma has cooper
