Will Asquith fall? The great prime minister of England has come to be considered almost as much a fixture as the king. But leaders as surely placed in other European cabinets have gone down in the past year. Asquith is admitted to be one of the most able men in England, but he lacks training in how to conduct a country in war times. Now England is “in a hole;” she doubts the capacity of her statesmen; she has trusted to “mud- dling thru somehow.” In the words of one Lon- don paper, “the worthy gentlemen of the cabinet are comforted in the belief that the war will win itself, if they leave it alone.” But the war is not doing so. In spite of the enlistment produced by the threat of conscription, Asquith called for 1,000,000 men on December 21. And on Christmas day, Lloyd-George, minister of muunitions, addressing the trades unions of Glasgow, endeavored to con- vince them of the necessity of “labor dilution,,” of the introduction of unskilled labor into the arma- ment factories. The great war, it has been said time and again, will be won by the workmen who make the mu- nitions. But today we learn that England has reached her great crisis, and that the obstinacy of the Brit- MONOPOLY’S TOES TRAMPED UPON 6s HE CITY is not vested with authority to engage in the wireless business or operate a wireless plant. Thus reads a complaint by. the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Co., in suit in the federal court against Capt. Paysse, city port warden, and the city itself. : The Marconi company would have the courts demolish the city wireless station and leave the field exclusively to itself. So it has always been—whenever the city or State has sought to free the people from the bur- dens of monopoly, immediately the monopoly would rush to the courts for an injunction. At first it was claimed the city had no right to operate a water plant, that it had no right to tun a light and power plant, or street railways. Recently, a King county judge held that the county could not “legally” conduct a poor farm to give its.paupers a chance to earn their own living, ‘and incidentally to reduce the cost of vegetables and dairy products in county institutions. Next to furnishing adequate docks and piers and warehouses, next to providing a real harbor, what greater service can the city perform than to give the ships that ply to and from this port and to the merchants of the city the benefits of an in- dependent wireless system? Municipal ownership? Yes, that’s what it is.

Who Will Save Her? ish workmen, in refusing to enlist, and in refusing to support Lloyd-George’s scheme for manufactur- ing war materials, MAY NOW WRECK ENG- LAND—unless a leader can be found who will wake England up. Asquith, highly trained in mind, but deliberate, even dilatory in action, has failed to arouse Eng- land. Who can do it? Some say Lloyd-George, now minister of mu- nitions, who as former chancellor of the exchequer, at the beginning of the war arranged for greater war loans than had ever been required before. Can Lloyd-George manage the English in- dustrial radical? The war has, indeed, been carried to Eng- land, it is being fought out in England now, tho the leaders are not generals and the men are not in the trenches. All things which have happened in this war since the French turned back the Germans at the Marne are mere incidents compared to events in England today. In September, 1914, the world waited breath- less while the Germans threatened Paris. A no less danger, tho an invisible one, threat- ens London today. England has reached her crisis in the war. And those who read between the lines of the war news watch to see WHO WILL SAVE ENG- LAND NOW. the unreasonable opposition to it by those who should welcome it, is fast disappearing. Many who opposed municipal ownership heretofore—many leading merchants and shipping men—will favor the city wireless plant. They can see direct benefits in that. But monopoly fights to the last ditch. And so the city may or may not be prevented by the courts from giving a substantial service to its people and to the port thru the wireless station.

Well, The Star hopes theyre right. But Pea- body, Mass., folks thought their children were safe, too, until a fire came along and killed a score or more of them. It has always seemed to The Stor that outside fire escapes would provide an absolute safeguard at a comparatively small expense. The Star has Stated this belief repeatedly. But Bringhurst and the school board think otherwise. Well, as we have said, we hope they're right.
