NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, APRIL 13, 1914. " SUBSDY PLANK IS SUPRENE,SAYS BRYAN »Secretary Clams It Nudifies Tols | Declaration in Piatform. Washington, April 13.—Secretary statement made public reviews the Pan- } Bryan in a Saturday lengthily ama tolls question, and in the course of the statement declares that .the repeal of the tolls exemption in the Panama canal act ‘‘cannot be con-, strued to be a construction of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty”” but is “sim-' ply 'a refusal on the part of -the Tnited States to raise that question in that way.” Mr. Bryan discusses various fea- tures of the subject-—the limiting of debate in the house of representatives, the Baltimore platform. and the effect of repeal on the treaty. Claiming that the opponents of the repeal had seized upon the charge that the president was ‘“‘surrendering to England,” Mr. Bryan declared that ! the opposition to the repeal had at- tempted to appeal ‘“to prejudice rather than to Teason." | What Great Britain Wants. “What has Great Britain done,” he asked, “to justify the accusation that she is trying to dictate to this coun- ! try? She has simply called atten-| tion to the terms of the treaty, and asked for arbitration of the question of construction, in case this gov- ernment differs from the British gov- ¥ ernment in the cohstruction to be| placed upon the language. The very | men who are so insistent upon con- struing the treaty to permit free tolls, delayed for months the ratifi-| cation of the treaty with Great Brit- ain because of their opposition to! any arbitration of the subject. In other ‘ words they construed the treaty to permit discrimination, and then ob- jected to allowing any international court to express an opinion on the subject. If, as a matter of fact, the treaty grants the rights which Great Britain claims, is it a ‘surrender to Great Britain’ for our nation to rc peal a law that raised that question? The repeal of the law cannot be con- > strued to be a construction of the¢ treaty. It is simply a refusa] on the part of the United States to raise that question in that way. / Wilson’s Right Discussed. Discussing the president’s right to expect the support of congress when he¢ deals with intérnational questions, Secretary Bryan add “The chief executive speaks for the nation in international affairs, and it is only fair to assume that he speaks advisedly when he declares that intercourse with other nations is seriously ‘embarrassed by the free tolls law which he seeké to repeal.” Expresses Platform Views, Mr.. Bryan was & member of the resolutions committee of the Balti- more convention and his observations on the platform constitute his first utterance on the subject. Mr. Bryan argues that there are two planks in the. Baltimere platform, pertinent to the discussion, one which declares the -belief of the democratic party in .the. encouragement of the merchant « marine but states that it should be developed ‘“without imposing addi- tional burdens upon the people and without bounty or subsidies from the public treasuries,” and a second plank declaring in favor of the exemption from tolls « of American coastwise ships. Upholds President’s Action, “But even if the platform had not contained within itself a complete refutation of the position taken by the advocates of free tolls, the pres- ident would have been justified in the position that he took by the changed conditions which confronted him. A platform is a pledge and is as binding upon an official as the command of a + military officer is upon a subordinate —the statement cannot be made stronger. But the subordinate officer Is sometimes compelled to act upon his judgment where a change of which the commanding officer is not aware has taken place in conditions. It is not only the right of the sun- ordinate to judge the situation for himself where conditions have changed since the order was given, but it is his duty to do so. In the rase under consideration the presi- | dent takes responsibility for an of- ficlal act which he regards as neces- sary for his country’s' welfare, and the people must decide whether or “TI" FOR ACHING, SORE, TIRED FEET Good-bye sore feet, burning feet, swol- | len feet, sweaty feet, smelling feet, tired | “feet. * | Good-bye corns, callouses, bunions and raw spots.

Such a change has taken place since the Baltimore platform was adopt- ed.” Merits Are Discussed. Considering the repeal measure up- on its merits, Mr. Bryan said there were just two questions to be decid- ed: ' “First—Is it desirable for the democratic party to abandon its his- toric position and become the advo- cate of subsidies and bounties? And, second, ‘it 1t is desirable, what is the | democratic party willing to sacrifice in international prestige and worla | influence in order to secure the ad- vantage which these subsidies promise | to a few people.” COAL DEALERS WILL GATHER IN BOSTON | Annual Meeting of New England Coal Dealers Association to Be Held June 9 and 10. { loyally support Mr. Quigley.

The Army Is Saving Life. (Washington Post.) Major-General Leonard Wood, chief of staff, last night told the re- cently organized Gen. Leonard Wood garrison, army and navy union, that the attack of the sdbsidized maga- zines upon the army will deo the a great injustice among the citizenship of the country not in touch with the true situation. He said forces are at work at the war de- partment that will bring about a re- organization of the army, raising it to a higher standard of usefulness in its mission as a life-saving medium. General Wood said the work of the army in discovering the cause and preventing vellow fever in Cuba has saved more lives and capital to the country in the last twelve years than , any of the-great wars cost.

America is awakening to a realiza- tion of the fact that she has a large standing army of unemployed—an army probably many times larger than the regular army of which the president of the United States is com- mander-in-chief. For those who march in this army, there 1s no dis- crimination as to age, sex, physical, or mental condition, All are eligible. A majority of wage earners enter the ranks more or less frequently. In ad- dition to this regular army of unem- | ployed, which marches about the country in search of seasonal occupa- { tions, there are troops of volunteer recruits, which periodically swell ity | ranks. | The army of the unemployed is un- organized. Its companies are either | not commanded or poorly command- ed. It has some captains, but o generals. - It is well known that & disorganized army—an army without an able commander—is a source not of security, but of danger to a com- munity in which it exists. The United States has quartered in every industrial community, her regular army of unemployed men, womer | and children, who are out of work at some season of the year. At times likn the present, when the army is swelled by the addition of those forced into | the ranks, there is always a large number of volunteers ready for ser- | vice—especially about the mers houses. They are the camp follow- ers who capitalize a condition of ah normal unemployment. The sane men of this country have at last sighted this army. They are beginning to realize that its presence i our midst, disorganized and un- commanded, constituteg one of tho greatest social problems which con- | front this country today. Statesmen and students, economists and Wisn business men, labor leaders and sc- cial workers everywhere, are demand- | ing that this problem shall be stated clearly, that the facts in relation to it shall be gathered and analyzed, and that the solution for it must be found. They are insisting that Amer- ica shall no longer lag behind the rest of the civilized world iIn thia | phase of its industrial organization. { Tn many aspects of industry thy United States has caught up and over- taken her sisters across the water; . she has studied to her advantage the | experience of European countries; she has taken the best which they have to offer ‘and has made it better, But in the matter of dealing with her men and women out of work, she has failed lamentably. With the experi- | ence of Germany before her, with | England to stimulate her, with little | Denmark clearly pointing the way— America has stood deaf, dumb and blind to the presence of this great so- clal problem. To be sure, a few of the more intel- | ligent states—Wisconsin, Massachu setts and Oregon—have made credit- able beginnings, not simply in stating the problem, but in finding a solution for it. The larger communities, how- ever—the most wealthy eities, the hig industrial centers which command the ablest talent in most every phase of life—are just reaching the stage of | awareness that a problem exists. of !

E. 161 Peopi Said 0 Ha Beea According to the fjgures given out at Methodist church yesterday there were 161 conversoins during past week, Before Sunday seventy-six professed conversion, were added yvesterday morning, thfee yesterday afternoon and twenty-six last night. Not for many years have New Brits ain audiences witnessed such stirring scenes as those of the last few nights at Trinity church. Over 160 converts have been made and the in- terest deepens with each meeting. 8o great was the enthusiasm last night that the leaders determined 10 | continue the meetings for two maore nights. The Wesleyan team leaves, but Mr. Miller, the cap- tain, says he will remain as long as men and women will accept the life of joy and power that is in Christ.

A touching scene Saturday night, was a man, wife, two daughters and a son, at the altar starting the Chrise tian life together. Many young men and women, as well as those of mote mature years are numbered among the converts who nightly crowd the altar. Last night the church held a cas pacity crowd, the Sunday school room being opened. Mr. Tuttle in his characteristic, happy way led the einging. The musio, with a chorus of, thirty, an orchestra and such & leader as Tuttle, is an inspiration. Al- most 160 testified to the saving joy of religion during the song service. At Miller's last revival, Chlle licothe, Ohio, almost fifty young men, of his own age entered the Christian life. One High school fras ternity with twenty members, came in a body one night. Miller is clear= 1y disappointed that so Tew New Brit- ain boys have taken a stand, but is confident many more will do 8o bes fore the meetings close. A collection takem at last night's meeting as an expression of appr clation to the “gospel team” amounts ed to well over $100. This is a fal indication of the appreciation of New Britain people for the example of “practical Christianity” these college boys have given here. Miller will speak after Mr. Stare tonight and will preach tomorrow night on “The Parting of the Ways." Supplementary Service. The evangelistic meetings in Trin- ity M. E, church last week were so successful that two supplemental services for Monday and Tuesday evenings have been announced. The attendance, fairly good at the begil ning, Increased gradually night ter night up to Sunday evening, when a dense crowd packed the large au- dience room from door to chancs The Rev. Mr., Miller, known as the boy preacher, and his helpers, all of | them full of youthful enthusiasms on the whole made a good impress slon and won friends from all ages and all classes. As a result over a hun- dared persons have begun the Chris- tian life in a practical way, and most of them have united or will unite. with Trinity or other churches, acs cording to personal preference.
