The procedure Of Britain subse-
quently was more cautious but not
less determined. In 1882 anti-Euro-
pean demonstrations by Arabs in
Alexandria prompted hostilities
which continued until most of lower
Egypt had been brought into subjec-
ton. The khedive TeWfik was re
stored" and 10000 British troops we're
garrisoned in the principal cities to
insure tranquility Meanwhile, the
territory south of Khartoum was in
the hands of fanatical prophet
known as Ell Mahdi General Chi

in 1884 and for a while was success
full, but, besieged by vastly superior
forces, he finally was murdered,

victory OF Ondurman, September 2,

Thereafter, unlimited sums of
money were poured into the economic
development of Egypt by British in
vestors who sought to justify inter-
vention by stimulating the prosperity
of the native population. The coun-
try made more progress during the
period between 1900 and 1910 than
it had during half dozen centuries
of Turkish management.

future course, This one thing do, for
getting the things that are behind and
reaching forth unto the things that are
before, press toward the mark for the
prize of the high calling of God in Christ
Jesus"
To come to the consciousness of life's
true purpose is supreme accomplish
ment. Until this is attained life drifts
along without certainty or objective and
with sense of ever-increasing weak
ness. Shakespeare's word is infallibly
true:
There is tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood, lef.ls on to
fortune:
Omitted, all voyage Of their life
Is bound in shadows and in miseries"
For Christ as for other men the deter
mining factor was the cause that enlisted
their zeal and devotion. 1t is inevitably
true that, commitment to a cause is the
compelling motive that makes decision
possible. Men do not give themselves
without reserve to a system, creed or
policy, but for cause they readily make
the supreme sacrifice. Our age, possibly
more than other ages that have gone be-
fore, is challenged by great cause. There
has been thrust upon us new con-
seriousness of the meaning of Christian
civilization. We have tacitly accepted
it, but we have hardly lived for it, nor
have we made sacrifices commensurate
with it's demands. Suddenly we have
been made to realize that what we have
considered the fundamental thing in our
life has been challenged. 1t is more than
the American way of life that is in jeop-
ardy; it, is the whole conception of a
Christian way of life, way OF life that
touches deeply and vitally every treas
ured concern and privilege we enjoy.
This is surely an hour of great deci-
sions, decisions that must affect for dec
ades to come the course of our corporate
and individual lives. 1t is great mo-
ment when we can say, For this cause
came unto this hour"

minority group at the expense OF the
Nation as whole. In theory, no
doubt, there are occasions when sub
sides are justified. But, in practice,
no way has yet been found to satisfy
the appetites of politically powerful
minority groups which, having be-
come accustomed to subsidies, soon
begin to look upon them as being
theirs as matter of right.
The practice Of subsidizing pres
sure groups did not originate with
the New Deal, but it has grown
enormously in the past ten years
More than anything else, the current
intransigeant attitude of the House
should convince those Americans
who have no axes to grind that the
time has come to pause and take
stock of just what this seemingly
endless chain of subsidies and other
preferential legislative treatment is
doing to the country.

Taxi Strike Threat

The local taxicab strike threat,
which is implicit in the cab drivers
referendum scheduled for this week,
presents several questions which de-
serve careful consideration.
The announced purpose of the bal
loting, set for tomorrow and Tues
day, is to determine whether
majority of the drivers want to re-
tain the new Public Utilities zone
system or an alternative plan ad-
vanced by the drivers themselves,
whether the drivers should demand
the removal of Gregory Hankin as a
member of the PUG and whether a
strike or vacation" should be called
to enforce their demands.
AS to the rate and zone question,
there will be considerable sympathy
with the drivers. There is no doubt
that the old zone plan was inequit-
able and the new PUG plan is COM
plicated and possibly undesirable in
other respects. At the same time,
however, it should be recognized that
the problem is a difficult one. The
only solution which would be fair to
all concerned would be to install
meters on the cabs, but Congress has
refused to permit their use in the
District. Unless that position is al
tered, some zone plan is the only
alternative, and the drivers, having
enlisted the sympa thetic interven-
ton of the House District Committee,
should be content to wait until every
reasonable effort has been made to
work the problem out on that basis.
The situation is altogether diff
ferent with respect to the prospective
demand for the removal of Mr.. Han
kin, and taxi strike to that end
should not and would not enlist any
substantial support from the public.
It may be that the drivers have some
reason to be critical of Mr. Hankin,
but strike to compel his removal or
resignation could not be tolerated.
Obviously, if this method can be used
to force Mr.. Hankin out of Office, the
same tactics could be employed
against any other official, and it
would not be long before the Public
Utilities Commission, which is sup
posed to represent the public inter-
est, would become nothing more than
a tool of the cab drivers, or some
other pressure group.
Finally, the drivers would do well
to consider their present position in
Washington. Taxicabs, particularly
under wartime conditions, are an
essential part of the local trans
portation system. The operators
base their claim to gasoline and tires
on the necessary character of the
function they perform, and it fol-
lows, therefore, that they are i'm
pressed with a responsibility which
cannot lightly be disregarded. If
strike should be called under the
conditions which have been outlined,
the Government, in the public and
in the national interest, might find
itself compelled to take the drastic
steps that would be indicated by such
irresponsible action

dustry, American industry is relatively
free from attack. This factor probably
will be decisive in the present war. 1t
means that the vast industrial machine
OF the United States is free to turn its
attention to the job of production with
out too much concern about interference.
Hitler's industry is past its peak of pro-
duction and is going to be subjected to
more and more interruption from air
attack.
The result is that the United States
is becoming we'll prepared to take over
the responsibilities that this war will
bring
In fact. this country's military leaders
are so confident that they are the ones
who have been insisting upon large
scale offensive operations against Ger
many in 1912. The British, somewhat
gun-shy after the manhandling their
meager forces have received in Africa
and in the Far East. have tended to-
ward caution. They have tradition OF
depending upon blockade to win wars.
The American military tradition lies in
offensive operations, and military men
here are impatient to get going with
what they have. They are less fearful
than the British about the consequences
of possible initial setbacks.
Consequently, the shift to the United
States of responsibility for winning the
war is to be followed by a definite speed
up in offensive action. Moves that had
been planned for 1943 probably can be
expected during the fall months OF 1912.
