Is anything more needed to convince the moet patient that the Public Service Commission of this district as now constituted is a hopeless mess? When its Chairman went to Albany last winter to answer charges of unfitness, he shook his fist and shouted in the Executive Chamber: “I care no more for the place than a child for a broken toy.” On that occasion the Governor thought it over and did nothing. Are his obligations to Mr. McCall so strong that he will allow him to go on holding illegally an office in which, thanks to the McCall theory of public service, the public has lost its last vertige of con- fidence? a The President quotes Ezekiel to good purpose, which will doubtless provoke the peace guardians to produce answers tn kind. On the question of preparedness, however, there are stronger arguments in one day's cables than on all the shelves of the public libraries. —— THEIR OWN BLUNDER. ERMAN interests cannot, of course, find much fault with what they have all along wanted. For months they have tried to get us to break up the British blockade. Nevertheless, a part of the German press cries that this country’s plain talk to England comes too late. Let Teutons think a little. Maybe they will see that if what they longed for comes too late it is because Germany got in her work too soon. Long before German submarines began to torpedo merchant ships and drown American travellers, Great Britain’s sea patrol held up and searched American veesels and from time to time virtually blockaded the port of New York. Discrimination against our com- merce became later an obvious part of British blockade policy as ap- plied to the Baltic. American ships were constantly being seized and held as British prizes and our neutrality was kept busy protesting its rights. Sooner or later all this must inevitably have forced us to take a determined stand against England’s illegal blockade methods. Did Berlin see this and wait? On the contrary the German Gov- ernment plunged etraightway into its programme of submarine “Schrecklichkeit.” It sacrificed American lives and outraged Ameri- can rights. It challenged this country to a momentous controversy from which the Imperial Government issued beaten at every point and during which we had no timo to tackle the matter of the British blockade. If, then, from the German point of view, we are late in getting around to the latter question, who is to blame but the warmakers in Berlin? It was their own ill-timed, colossal blunder that engrossed ovr attention and delayed us. ——-+-——____ ‘The ¢ire on the French Line steamship Rochambeau—the second time within a week a steamer sailing from New York to Burope has caught fire and made for Halifax—will strengthen the belief in incendiary war plots conceived and executed on ng World D Hunting for the Guilty 2eqwhs By J.
