NO. 19,980 eee THE CITY’S CHANCE. N HIS report on two years and four months of the most encour- aging ard business-like administration the City of New York has ever had, Mayor Mitchel put his finger on the point that is at once the city’s sorest need and strongest hope—relief from its “ham- pering relations with the State.” The movement for municipal emancipation is at last fairly started. “For the first time in its history the city has protested against the practice of making huge State appropriations for purposes in which the city does not share.” Last year for the firet time in the city’s history its taxpayers were given a real insight into the impositions laid upon them by State legislation. The Evening World’s presentation of the facts in sim- plified, understandable form awoke the first public interest that has ever got as far as serious effort to free the city from unjust tax burdens. So far the city has rid iteelf of only $2,000,000 of the 812,000,000 a year Joad which the legislator will be asked to lift from ite realty. But a beginning has been made, Never has Greater New York been more convinced of its ability and right to manage its own affairs. There is every renson to hope conviction will transform itself into concerted action. Which is the prime requisite of auccess. If ever 5,000,000 people—half the population of the State—are to be freed from the preposterous domination of a Legislature whose favorite pastime is to exploit them, it must be done by the co-operative campaign work of every civic society, every taxpayers’ organization and every municipal official and representative, standing shoulder to shoulder in non-partisan loyalty to the city whose interests are their own. ————— ‘The attitude of Germany will be stated in clear and precise terms.—A.

HE country will welcome official confirmation of the report that T nobody is to be allowed to hustle United States troops out of Mexico and that, on the contrary, Gen. Obregon will extend to them the use of the Mexico-Northwestern Railroad and co-operate with them in the hunt for Villa, « However much Carranza’s Minister of War might urge the imme- Giate withdrawal of the American forces, we could not believe he would Tet it become a demand. After all, jealous and resentful as the Mexi- ean public may be, the de facto Government must have official sense enough to see that it has nothing to gain by making a fool of itself. To try to kick out a friendly expedition which went into Mexico with the sole purpose of helping to accomplish the thing the Carranza Government professed to desire most for the strengthening of its posi- tion, would seem a silly policy from Carranza’s standpoint. Any sort of partnership with the Government of the United States is something any sane-minded chief executive in Mexico must, openly or secretly, hanker after. Tt may be that Carranza is ashamed to confess how little his army i$ under his control. He may dread attacks on the American soldiers for which he will be held responsible and which he may find himself powerless to repress. If so, this country should be willing to spare him, so far as it can, the chance of such humiliation.
