The Boston News Bureau scents a hegira of American manufacturers to Great Britain and Can- ada as a result of the new British tariff. Already the Great Western Railway of Great Britain is sending out literature to American manufacturers setting forth the advantages of sites for plants along its lines and the superior services the railway can render. American concerns that have branches in Canada are looking forward toward increased busi- ness for the firms within the British Empire. This is part of the price Americans must pay for their extreme high tariff policy. This move- ment of American factories to Canada and Eng- land, like those that have been set up in Germany, will help to solve unemployment in other countries and provide taxation capital for other peoples. We declared the tariff war and at last retaliation is at hand. If we had kept the Underwood Tariff our exports would probably have been larger than they are and we would have avoided the exodus of Ameri- can capital and commerce. NO CAUSE FOR FEAR YET. Those people who fear that the ‘Wickersham measure which proposes to organize counties in Alaska would, if it became effective, be too burden- some on the taxpayers ought to study the history of American Territories of the past. County govern- ments may be just as inexpensive as the people want them to be. To fear their creation is equivalent to lack of confidence in the capacity of the people for self-government. In the early days of most of the American Territories, and in some of the States, make excellent Christmas gifts, counties with along without becoming bankrupt. We have in mind a county in Washington Ter- ritory that had, according to the United States census, 147 population in 1860, in 1870 it had 374 |and in 1880 it had 638. Shortly thereafter it began |to grow and now exceeds 20,000. That county had | scarcely no debt during its history. Its largest debt at iany time before the admission of Washington to |the Union was less than $3,000, and that was | wiped out before Statehood. The Empire suggests that opposition, or even | criticism, of Judge Wickersham's measure ought |to be postponed, at least, until copies of it have been received. We hope, and are inclined to be- lieve, that the bill is one that friends of self- government in Alaska will be able to support. Now comes a Southern statesmen to say that | the “Solid South” will be solidly Republican if the Democratic Party adopts a wet platform. From an expediency standpoint the Democrats could well |afford to trade the Republicans a “Solid South” | for a “Sound North.” Primo Carnera is still being advertised as the Italian heavyweight champion. Mussolini ought to do something about it. Free Dominions. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Part way through the process of enactment and assured of final passage the Westminster Statute is important in British constitutional history, al- though it merely confirms existing fact. Successive concessions to British Dominions through the de- cades have given to them complete control of their jaffairs, at first purely domestic affairs, then foreign relations and every manner of governmental author- ity. But, despite these grants of power which made the dominions truly self-governing, the Parliament at London still retained the legal authority to act for the entire British Empire. At the last Com- monwealth Conference, it was determined that the |Dominions should be wholly independent in legal |theory as well as in fact. This step the West- | minster Statute completes with finality. i For political scientists the new statute poses ifresh questions of theory. Where, now, is the |elusive sovereignty which indicates the location of ultimate political power? Is the British Com- monwealth of Nations a confederation of sovereign States, and is the King a mere symbol of the real racial bond? Or do we have a divided sovereignty which still composes a legal unity? However fascinating these questions may be for the political theorists, they mean little to the political realist. The British Dominions have been in fact independent for some years, some of them for many decades. The Statute of Westminster simply acknowledges in formal law the existing fact. Realists at heart, despite their heritage of racial sentiment, the British do an excellent job of keeping their unwritten, or, rather, uncollected, constitution in close accord with the facts of his- toric revolution. Communism, (Manchester Guardian.) The British Communist Party announces that its membership is “increasing by leaps and bounds.” The statement may alarm many good Conservatives. But there are reassuring considerations. It would have been a miracle if the Communists had not gained some few recruits among the unemployed |who are having their income cut or are being ‘Ideprived of it. But it is significant that the un- employed did not vote Communist at the election; a great many of them did not even vote Labor. There is no sign—as yet—of a swing towards Com- munism or of spontaneous organization among the unemployed. The persistent weakness of Communist parties everywhere outside of Russia has always been that the membership is extremely fluid. Under some exceptional stimulus it may double or treble in size in a few months, and as quickly melt {away, for no apparent reason. It's all contrary to copy-book maxims, but you can't very well do better than Doolittle.—(Boston Transcript.) It doesn't seem probable that Senator Borah and the other Powers of the world will ever get together—(Toledo Blade.)
