N the first flush of victory at | the close of the greatest S of all wars we are filled =52 with a new consciousness of strength, moral, physical and economic, But it is important that we compre- hend the responsibilities as well as the fruits of victory. There is now as im- perative need for radical readjustment | of our mental attitude.as there was | when autocracy threatened our nation- al existence. I would not support a nationally selfish point of view; but I maintain that we can better help other people to help themselves if our own house Is in order. First of all, we cannot expeet the| American banker or the American trader to start his dollars around the world unless they are followed by the protection which the American flag should afford the property and lives of our citizens, but Instead of having such protection assured we have fre- | quently had it denied in governmental | circles. | We talk enthusiastically of a great| merchant marine and yet by legislative | enactment we have thrown about| American shipping restrictions which make it impossible to fly the American | flag in competition with other nations. | We pride ourselves on our respect for property rights and deplore its con- fiscation in other countries; yet by legislation and regulation we have con- fiscated millions of dollars’ worth of property froin private owners of our publie utilities and through our unwil- lingness to face, or ignorance of, eco- nomie facts we have forced bankrupt- ¢y and loss upon many of them, ignor- ing the rights of investors and piling up tax burdens in reckless disregard of consequences, There is rising throughout the coun- | { German statesmien are advocating that Ameri- we terly the people shall receive no redress for any act wha Ttaly ta not yet government o not people i der the present conditions New 1 since at the present has no security whatever. at the administration and there shs no school board no branch of the State Teacher: eration in this city which w been bill ha: islature gr for teachers’ more than reasonably high salaries to | receive of the United humanity. warships which were the Allies has beer council of four the rendered fused by T TEACHER QUESTION. ves Many Instructors Will Leave New Britain.

Labor has as great a stake as any | other element of our people. It must be on its guard against state socialism, | I W. W.ism, and Bolshevism, dangers which are by no means remote. Another important responsibllity of vletory is that of establishing new re- | lations between the Government and | business. The *Government should | learn that “all great offices of state are | occupied with commercial affairs” and that “commerce is the greatest of all political interests.” Great Japan show evi- dence of due appreciation of the axioms of statesmanship in their re- construction programmes, The peace plans of England, ca<e fully worked out by the Government in co-operation with the country's varied Industries, include the lowering of the cost of production of its manufacto- ries; the speeding up of labor; the cheapening of raw ing in enormous quantities; nation- sized combinations; the abolition of wasteful competition among manufac- turers; the placing of government funds at the disposal of producers who co-operate; the formation of big and intluentiul associations of business it aided so‘ Britain, | materials by buy- | |m(>n: the insurance of credits; the astablishment of a commercial Intelli- gzem=e bureau of world-wide scope; the sanction¥ 't of monopolies among the | so-called "k product the sub- sidizing of research bureaus for the benefit of manufacturers; the develop- ment of the inner arteries of the em- pire; the lowering of the costs of transportation; and the granting of | preferential rates to British goods. | 'France proposes to lower the costs of production through standardization and modern methods; to effect an fm- }provemcm in the relations between capital and labor; to purchase raw | materials, cultivate new markets, and ship finished products at common ex- | pense ; to provide assistance to produc- tion; to reduce imports, and increase | exports; to enact liberal legislation {in abolishing administrative restric- | tions: to initiate vast public works |such as road-building, railroad exten- | sions, dredging rivers, deepening har- | bors, and building a merchant marine, Italy's programme calls for a pro- tective tariff; the establishment of credit arrangements for foreign busi- ness; for the liheration of new indus. tries from taxation; for the construc tion of canals to convert Rome into a first-class port; for the abolition ot taxation on certain essential indus | tries, and on capital while it is pro- | duecing; for comsular agents to act as | the “economic eyes” of the nation; and | for the co-operation between financial interests and indus Japan is preparing to give govern- | ment subsidi immunity from taxa- | tion to certain industries; guaranteed th‘ldenvls to certain subsidized indus- | tries; government ‘co-operation with | big business interests; large govern ment appropriations for the developing ot essential industries; the services of trade commissions to make detailed investigations and reports; the serv- | ices of a commercial Intelligeuce sys- {tem; and the Japanese Government will fnsist that trades build for the { future. In view of this world-wide trend | toward combination, therefore, it Is not surprising that the United States Chamber of Commerce should refer | to its members, for a vote, proposals to amend the Sherman and Clayton | anti-trust laws. Unless we properly amend or repeal these statutes, we | cannot hope to compete successfully | for foreign trade. | Not without good reason does Eng- l1and view complacently our titanic | shipbuilding efforts. - 1t was - proved over and over again before the war that Britain could build and operate | ships at a little more than half the American costs and that the war will not alter these conditions materially. It has been testified by an Ameean authority that British shipyard wages are about 5O per cent. lower and the sutput per man about 14 per cent bigher than those of America. Our Government must stand behind American shipping, as well as Amer- ican business generally, instead of ob- structing it. That is one of the most important responsibilities of victory devolving upon the Government. And upon the State Department falls the | responsibility of declaring 8 fixed for- | elgn policy, @ policy which will endure | from edministration to adminisiration.
