Regist mpiaints before 8 Betsey: Situation Over A glance backward at the major developments of 1924 all of which have a bearing on our future progress, furnishes ample ground for an unus ually cheerful attitude as we stand on the thres hold of 1925. Probably te most important of these developments wax the utern rebuke admin istered to the propagandists of radicalism not only in this country, but in Great Britain and Franc nd to som tent in other foreign coun tries. The mere possibility of these radieal y becoming operative has acted as a repressing influence on general business und on the security markets. This statement is amp ly supported by the fact that decided improvement began to ap pear as soon the electior A num ber of over-cautious commen reted this sudden pss of activity gerous thing, but it represents the elimination of appre hension the restoration of confidence, the for. warding of many deferred plans and projects, and the release of the pital ne ry to the carrying out of these stifled enterprises Another yital development of 1924 was the| reat improvement in our transportation facil ities. The casual observer hardly realizes what this means to business and society. The shipper who has to wait two or thre ys for a car or the merchant who has his goods delayed u week or me in transit is forcibly reminded of the advantages of prompt railroad transporta tion, but the layman does not come in such close touch with the problem. The transportation sys tem represents the veins and arteries of com nerce and this is particularly true in so large a yuntry as cur own. Furthermore, the railroads manake greater profits when their facilities ire “adequate and this will, in time, add thead- antage of lower freight rates to the very mater- | advantage growing out of the saving of time. thing is more costly and unsatisfactory to a ilroad than congestion and inability to accept d promptly handle all the freight that is of. fered. There are sound reasons for believing that nder our present railroad laws, plus the respite the danger of radical and destructive alter ttions, the railroads will not only be able to the publie in a satisfactory way, but will also be able to make reasonable profits for the owners of their securities. serve Not the least of the important developments of the year one which has a decided bearing on the future the marked change in the posi tion of the er.

Long be- fore the farmer bloc appeared in the senate or the word bloc became so necessary in our yocab- wlary the country was nevertheless afflicted with them. There were the financial, the manu- facturing, the farming, the labor and the foreign born groups, ete. Each was conscious of the an ind each in seeking to protect its own rights believed that the best way to do it was to destroy the other. The absurdity of this plan has been demonstrated time and | again he most noted examples, of course, were the antagonism of union labor to capital and of the rmer to the banking interests as represented | by the term “Wall Stre ‘ or three years there has\been a gradual decline in some of these antagonisms, a better under- standing, and even the tremendous efforts of the demagogues have not succeeded in preventing a waning interest in the Red bogie shaken before the eyes of the people by the radicals and the unionists. Has the time come when we may hope to dissipate completely these antagonisms and to bring about common understandings? It may not be amiss to say that the manufacturers, the nilroads and the national grange have set an example which should be followed by all in seek- ing to analyze their problems in common coun- cil and to find remedies that, will be for the bene- fit of all parties concerned.

When the British refused to back the French occupation of the Ruhr in 1923 Germany jumped to the conclusion that allied unity was done, the entente was dead and she could do as she pleased. Her armed forces were not reduced to 100,000 men, as agreed. She permitted the mak ing of field machine» guns, rifles and ot war materials.

But there are some things which every day brings forth. There is duty at least and temptation and drudgery and mystery and love. It is true that there are many m possibilities to hold against these certain ties, which by their indiscernible issue lend zest to living. The year may bring a great intellectual discovery or a large professional disappoint- ment; it may enrich us with a surprising friend- ship or change our sphere of activity. But are not the certainties more essential to high and purposeful living than the uncertainties?

The printed matter carried in second class mail constitutes by far the greatest educa- tional force in the country.

See Se ed Danger to American Shipping Congress seems to be the last hope of American. shipping in’ foreign trade, and it séems’to bea yery for- ‘}lorn- “hone at that. At the moment .the ‘whole general tendency of the ‘| government—the executive and leg- iglative ’branches—is not very. prom- ising “for the American merchant marine, What..our fereign rivals most desire our government seems quite disnosed to grant—the gradual elimination of- American shipping frém foreign tradé. ’ . The! most {inthedjate danger that We perceive. is the proposed transfer bythe shipping hoard of full power to “the head of the emergency fleet gorporation to. deal with our govern- meht shins as” he‘rees ‘fit. This, we + | Delleve, would mean fewer American 4 Lines. and: fewer, American: ships in ‘foreign: trade. Two-thirds of our for- elgn, commerce {8 carried' in forelgn ships, whi'e enough American ships | to do'the’ greater patt’of that,carry- ‘ing.are ‘ow-lald up.

The federal bud- get committee indicates a disposition to reduce the number of lnes*and ships under the American flag in foreign trade, and céngress so far has indicated no. disposition to op- pose this policy. Disinterested observation of the situation leads us to believe that the shipping boarg is tryirig to do°more for American shipping in foreign trade today than any other branch of the goyernment,.and were, the shipping board properly backed up a wholly creditable and ~ enduring American marine would ‘be’ estab- shed under the American: flag in: foreign trade, This explains why we ‘should regret changes in the ship- ping board that~ would check this tendency, or that would-turn over a‘l of the power of: operating and disposing of our government-owned merchant ehips to the fleet corpor- ation, because, we fear, this would lead to the gradual extinction of American Mtpping in foreign trade —precisely what our foreign rivals most desire. s What Would We Do? A number of Britishers have) recent- ly. come to this country to enlighten American opinion on the Anglo- Egyptian crisis. “They seem to be anxious to cohvince America that the British government was. justi- fied ‘in Its refusal to submit the Egyptian question to the league of natfons. America needs little convincing on that score. Americans-generally un- derstand that ‘none of the nations belonging to the league is without Its “feservations,” tacit or otherwise, as to questions which could not, un- der any circumstances, be turned over to the league for solution. The British naturally have a greater va- riety of “reserved” interests because of their vast multiplicity of con- tracts with other people's, within and beyond the empire, and within nd beyond the league. ‘That being appreciated in Amer- fea, it would seem, that British’ ef- forts. to further convince us. are superfluous, And yet there ape Americans who, realizing, fdf ex- ample, Britain's difficulties, are un- able to imagine how very similar would be America’s situation were we 'to-enter the league. . The latest phase of the - Anglo- Egyptian crisis spsang from the as- sassination of Sir Lee Stack, British governor .reneral of the Sudan and commander-in-chief of :the Egyptian are small but-comfortable. The week if you desire. army. It has been abundantly dem- onstrated that the assassins were tools of Egyptian nationalism. For Britain tc,condone the crime would haye been a sign of weak- ness. And for Britain to have al- lowed the league to {interfere would have set a disastrous precedent, for {t' would have shown fomentors. of, unrest in the African an. Asiatic tions of the empire that political crimes woul hereafter be referred to a compromising and woak-kneed Geneva instead of being promptly dealt with by Britain herself. As a Britisher lecturing the other day in New York poititedly asked, would: America’ ever if «.member.of the Jeague, submit to Interference by Genéva should a rampant nation- alism break out,in the Philippines and culminate {n the asssssination of Gov. Gen. Leonard Wood? The’ answer {s simpie, and some of our league enthuslastsewould ‘join in shouting a lusty “No.” By bearing that parallel in min*, American crit- Jes of Britain’s refusal to the league could more easily place thematlyes in London's position.
