The German Republic is saved—for the time being, at any rate. Yester- day's plebiscite in Prussia whereby the Reich government's Nationalist, Fascist and Communist foes hoped, by making common cause, to bring down the Socialist-Centrist regime enthroned in Germany's principal state, falled of its purpose. That purpose was to precipitate a dissolution of the Prussian Diet, the expulsion of the Braun ministry, gen- eral elections and the entry of a re- actionary government into power. The plebiscite to be carried would have required a clear majority of the Prussian electorats or roundly 13,600,000 votes. According to the latest returns, a little less than 9,800,000 “yes” bal- lots were cast. 'The anti-republican coalition, therefore; fell some 3,700,000 short of the poll it would have hed to oll up in order to win the day. Instead the day was lost. Europe and the world at large awalted the result with justifiable trepi- dation. “Who holds Prussia holds the Reich” was the slogan with which the Siteel Helmets, the Hitlerites. and the Communist Reds marched. They planned not only to movHise their own full strength, which they evidently did not do, but to derive support from other parties, recently fllled with dis- content by the stern emergency meas- ures taken by the Hindenburg-Bruen- ing government to bring order out of Germany's economic chaos. Had the forces of reaction triumphed yesterday, their later victory in Reich elections seemed an almost inescapable certainty. The work of rehabllitation, which the Germans have just undertaken amid the good will of the whole world, would have been brought down in ignominious eollapse. The tactics of the Reich authorities ir. advising their adherents to boyeott the plebiscite were vindicated. Rela- tively only a few of them ignored Chancellor Bruening's advice to remain away from the polis. The Berlin cen- tral governiment has weathered a storm of undeniably menacing dimensions in ‘warding off the attack on the existing Prussia.

American security holders, in this ers of curtailed dividends and shrinking profits, should be interested in ‘proceed- ings now pending in the criminal di- wvision of the British law courts at Lon- don. At the end of July, following a protracted trial, Lord Kylsant, head of the famous Royal Mail Steamship Line and far-flung affliates, was convicted of defrauding the investment public and sentenced to one year's imprison- ment. After spending a night in Worm« wood Scrubbs, he was released on bail, pending outcome of an appeal Not nlone because of Lord Kylsant's pre-eminence in the shipping world, . but because of the broad issues in- wvolved, his conviction has produced & sensation throughout financial Britain. ‘Writing in The Star, a special corre- spondent narrates that “the fall of Lord Kylsant was like the fall of one of the central pillars of the London business | brid, which must sink its teeth into the And when the bleachers cheered with | district’s structure.” He was prosecuted on two counts—Afirst, issuing annual re- ports intended to deceive shareholders, and, secondly, lesuing a prospectus which he knew to be false, with intent to deceive investors. The first count raises the more criti- cal issue. Balley, where the shipping peer was in the dock, was the scene of a battle be- tween expert witnesses over the right of directors to conceal from sharehold- ers the fact that dividends were being iuh of Big Businesc—believes that far- jréaching changes in the laws govern- {ing the responsibtiities of airectors to shareholders will ensue in eonsequence of the Kylsant disclosures. It is agreed that the existing statutes provide ade- 'quate protection for investors, but the | “concealment of essential truths” from !shmnuulm‘ knowledge, even though | permissible by esteblished custom, con- {jures up disquieting possibilities. While Ihohflng “hidden reserves” to be entirely i proper, the trial judge deprecated the practice of uelng them to hide “fun- | aamental facts” about a corporation’s | position. SRR TP Coal—and What Next? | "There is nothing particularly new in {the suggestion that the Government {take over regulation of the bituminous ! ol industry as a public utility through some agency set up along the lines of | the. Interstate Commerce Commission. {For several years the proposition has {been talked about as the inevitable {remédy for the many ills that have be- set an industry for which no other eure has been devised. The interesting ture of the suggestion now is that it apparently denotes a final convietion among the operators that Government . | Intercession & necessary and that somne movement is about to be put in motion | to get it. “Too many mines and too many miners” 18 the succinct, yet very ade- |quate, diagnosis of what ails toe bi- | tuminous coal industry. But there is | another equally important factor. The {operators themselves, bound by the, {terms of the Sherman act, have not| |been able to effect among themsclves | the agreements and restrictions that | {would suffice to curb overproduction They have tried it through vari- ous expedients, and they have failed For many years their battle against economic odds has been aggravated by | internecine strife, with cut-throat price- cutting, labor difficulties, failure and ruin as the natural accompaniments. If the operators themselves come to Washington with a plea for a form of governmental regulation that would ef- fect mergers, control production, fix prices and close a proportion of the | mines, the necessary legisiation would probably follow. Labor has asked for it before. Coal operators, among themselves, | have agreed that it is the obvious course. Legislators familiar with the difficulties of the industry have more than once committed themselves on the eventual hetessity of the step. When there is jsuch agreement on the principle, the detalls will furnish plenty of grist for the legislative mill for some time to come. ‘The proposa: contains the usual com- mentary on governmental regulation of | private business. There are those who will fight it on principle, who will see in it another step toward pyramiding bureautracy in Washington, toward so- clalism and worse. They will echo the objections that were heard toward Gov- ernment regulation of the railroads. But, as usual, they will be unable to advance anything more practical than choice of the alternative evil of emas- culating or repealing the Sherman act and the whole principle that it repre- sents. Railroads, water power, coal—how long will it be before the oil operators, sick of Gov. Murray’s picturesque shin- | digs and the condition that brought them about, come trooping into Wash- ington with & demand for governmental fregulation and control? And how long can it be denied?

When Charles Dickens first came to America the tobacco julce marksman- ship of the natives of ‘“these States. as Walt Whitman called them, struck him squarely between the eyes. * %W . Dickens never got tired of talking about the spitting habits of the Amer- icans. His “Martin Chuszslewit” fairly swims “That chap” sald one man to an-, eny position, standing or sitting, with- effort. Discussion of politics went on inter- minably, freely mixed with saliva.

All this reminds us of the in- | justice and humiliation practiced by | the boys of the same generation against inoffending grasshoppe®s. | With much ceremony a grasshopper | was seized between thumb and fore- | finger and pressure exerted on his tho- | rax to the tune of a rhyme, the gist of which was an invocation to the grass- hopper to “spit tobacco juice.” sually the insect managed to bring up a small quantity of a brown liquid, much to the delight of tie small boy. who thereupon promptly released the vietim, * o ‘The beginning of the end with the ancient cuspidor came five or more years ago when the Pullman company removed them from the berth sections of sleeping cars.

Dickens had grown to be a great man. however, by the time of his first visl to the United States, and he was great man in a more civilized, a very much older, nation. Just as England was the first to ban the practice of slavery, so it was first to do away with the too visible presence of the spittoon. The chewing of tobacco, as a matter of fact, never got the hold on the Eng- lish people that it did on the hardy ploneers of America. bt'hklg‘m -ey::vle u'ahme an- th , or ma: 0 the novel- ist:.ow?ot. despite the fact that Dickens took sundry Jjibes at his American cousins for their accurancy with tobac- co juice, there has as yet been no novel based upon this interesting, though to some disgusting, habit. * x o % ‘The man Wwho aspired for real pro- ficiency in the art—and, in a way, it was that—never rested until he cou'g hit a brass cuspidor at 20 paces placea in the middle of a red plush rug.

It isn’t & regular birthday card, but it serves that purpose, for its senti- ments express what the G. O. P. thinks about its leader at this critical hour of his political fortunes. The greeting is entitled “A Record to Remember," and reads: “Herbert Hoover had no hand in bringing on the World War. But he did more than any individual in all the world to alleviate the ghastly wounds inflicted upon civilization by that catastrophic conflict. President Hoo- ver was not responsible for the vast inflation of the years preceding 1929, but when the inevitable crash cam after his administration was but few months old, he did more than any other President has ever done to the force of the calamity. He was not responsible for the drought that spread poverty over 21 States, but his was the directing mind which distributed relief so promptly and so wisely that no one went hungry. He was not responsible for a situation which brought Germany to the verge of financial and political chaos, but it was his plan which averted the crisis and steadied not only Germany, but all Europe and perhaps the whole ‘world. Where is there another states- man with such a record?"” ‘The guess is here ventured that the platform on which Mr. Hoover will seek re-electfon in 1932 is going to be an amplification of this panegyric. * % ox x Prohibition, American Legion. convivial 1931 convention in Boston at- tempts to commit the organization to the water wagon were thwarted. lutions to that end never reached th voting stage.

Whether the Democrats will go s0 far as to support the dole, which is sure to be advanced again as & measure of relief, is A matter of great moment to the country and to the Democrats. The fact that the coun- try came through last Winter and Spring without the dole and the dis- tressed were taken care of will be used as an argument. against the ddle.
