THE NATION FIRST. ‘VERY MAN,” said President Wilson, speaking in Cincinnati, “has the task of believing in himself what ho would have the whole world believe the United States to be.” ; Every good American would have the world believe before all else that the United States is a nation with unshaken confidence in iteeif and in the continuity of its ideals, ite institutions and its policies. Every good American would have the srorid believo that when the United States, in a great crisis of human affairs, takes a firm and definite stand toward other nations, it will not permit the perturba- ions of politics or tho covetousness of parties to expose its govern- , Ment either to the plots of those who wish to find it weak or to the éneers of those who would gladly see the principles on which it rests discredited. In the faco of present {nternatlonal conditions, to turn out an Administration trained in successfully handling a series of interna- _ tional problems of which the end is not yet-—to discard an Administra- tion and a President for no reason savo that a party out of power is clamoring for old privileges—would be nothing short of an invitation to @greign governments to try forthwith how far they oould play fast ‘oose with a nation that knew not {ts own mind. To change Presidents at this juncture would be to confess, nay, to publish abroad, that Party in the United States has turned out to be a bigger thing that Patriotism and that Politics aro a stronger power than national pride or constancy. He must bo a strange breed of American who believes that or would have the world believe it. ++ = GIVE NEW YORK THE CREDIT. Y ITS PURCHASE of the old Altman building a Philadelphia drug concern wins the gratitude of the Sun for thus salvaging a “deserted and profitless” section of Manhattan, “It is an axiom among rea! estate men,” declares the Sun, “that-outsiders know the value of New York property better than Now Yorkers do.” Maybe. But if the Sun writer had taken tho trouble to walk through Twenty-third Street between Fifth and Sixth Avonucs dur- ing the last few months ho would have known better than to go on calling this former shopping section “dosorted and profitless.” Bince last spring great changes have taken place in this area, “To Let” signs have como down, padlocked doors opened, dirty windows bo- come bright and firm names appeared in scores of places. Old build- ngs are being renovated, now ones are going up. Manufacturers and wholesalers havo already found their way to the zone which now properly belonga to them. Small wonder if this part of the city begins to look attractive to out of town interests. ; The pioneers in reclaiming this valuable section have been New Xork business houses. The Saving Now York movement long ago won the co-operation of cloak and suit manufecturers, who have shown commendable civic spirit and good sense in recognizing that, in the new shopping and residential aroa, their establishments are wrongly placed. Many of these firms-have already negotiated for now quar- tere in the Twenty-third Street district, In past years Now York may have made the mistake of trying to Jump all its business at once to successive uptown centres, But the elty deserves full credit for having itself originated its new industrial zone plan, and New York business men havo been tho first to eco its advantages. Tho proof can bf seen any day in Twenty- third Street. | ~ THE SNAKE TO STRIKE AGAIN? 58 AGAINST rumors that Villa with a large forco is close to A Chihuahua City and in a position to take it, comes an express} assurance from Gen, Trevino, the Carranza commander an/| the spot, that “any foar that Ceanahas dite is simply absurd.” | y will be captuyed by ban- 4 As between Villa threats and Carranza confidence the United | States is ono large Missouri, Ii it is true that Villa and Zapata have | persuaded Felix Diaz to join them in an attack upon the de facto government there may yet be a doal of blood spilt before a Mexican election.
