New England and the Canal.
Wlirn advocates of the Great Lakcs-St. Law
tcme waterway not long ano claimed New Eng.
land support,' New York and Boston harbor and
transport interest! denied the statement em
phatically. As they stated the case, the wlter
v ay project is nothing better than, a raid upon
the national treasury for the benefit of selfish
middle westerners, who are greedy enough to
want the advantage of water-borne commerce
extended beyond the narrow limit of the Atlan
tic seaboard.
Whereupon the Associated Industries of
Massachusetts now takes the witness stand. This
organization is a state association of manufac
turers, and a very influential and active one. Its
members represent factories throughout that
great industrial state. Some time ago the As
sociated Industries appointed a committee to
study the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway
project. The committee did so. It not only
read reports on'the subject, but it inspected the
joute first-hand and investigated particularly the
possible development of hydro-electric power.
This committee has made its report, entirely fa
vorable to the project. , It favors it not only be
cause of its benefit to the middle west and the
Great Lakes territory, as a highway of com
merce, but because of the cheap electric power
that will be made available for the industries of
New England.
The west wants this waterway because of its
benefit to the agricultural producers through the
lowering of transportation costs. New England
wants it because it will develop hundreds of
thousands of horsepower of electric energy.
Isn't it about time that New York's harbor
monopoly swing into line with that New York
banker who announced not long ago, in this very
connection, that "the national interest is bigger
than that of New York?"
Harriman's Omelette Well Made. .
When the late J. Pierpont Morgan asked how
one would go about to unscramble an omelette,
he did not have the Harriman system of railroads
particularly in mind, but his remark will apply to
it. The supreme court of the. United States is
about to listen, to arguments in behalf of the gov
ernment in a suit that has for its end a divorce
between the Southern and Central Pacific rail
roads. A few years ago, by a singular construction
of law, the supreme court held that the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific were competing lines,
and ordered the Union Pacific' to dispose of its
holdings in the Central. A sequel to this was
the control of the "Seepee" by the "Esspee," in
!pite of their obvious competition. Now the
government asks that the bonds between the.
two be broken, and thus restore a condition that
existed when Harriman began his great work of
developing the lines and making them efficient
commerce carriers.
1 Harriman foresaw what is reflected, first in
the policy adopted by Director General McAdoo
in his effort to make the railroads function; next,
by the proponents of "the zone system, under
.which the country is to be districted for proper
railroad management. The great builder did not
look to monopoly, but to a properly conceived
and efficiently articulated system, which could be
'handled at the least possible cost and produce
the maximum of result. He solved the monopoly
problem by putting the grand divisions of his
'system under independent control, and yet made
sure of successful co-OReration through related
direction. . ,
v The government may win its suit against the
Southern Pacific, but that will not answer the
question, nor unscramble the omelette. Harri
man prepared his dish with skill and care, and
in it is the germ that ultimately will bring the
railroads of the United States to something like
real usefulness in their sphere. .
Uprising in South Africa.
Allowing for the meagerness and possible in
accuracy of news from South Africa, the convic
tion is forced that the . disturbance around
Johannesburg is more than a labor strike.
Trouble in the mines, ever present, seems to have
been seized upon by dicontented or malicious
schemers to start a revolution. Germs of such a
demonstration have lingered since the Boer war
of 1899-1902, a large percentage of the followers
of Kruger never having whole-heartedly accepted
. the situation that followed the making of peace
and the dissolution of the Boer republic. While
the government of which Jan Smuts is the head
has been progressive and forward looking in all
matters, and has elevated the South African
Union to an important position in the British
empire, it has also been subject to the corrosive
action of bolshevism, which is presenrevery
where, and the combination of radicals with the
discontented Dutch may easily be credited with
having fomented a rebellion. Latest news from
Johannesburg indicates that the government is
gaming the upper hand, and will be able to
restore order, although the disturbance has cost
a great many lives, because of the fierce and de
termined character, of the fighting. More infor
mation must be had before a definite conclusion
is reached as to the character of the disorder
whether it is but an aggravated strike or an at
tempt to upiet the government, but in cither
event it is sufficiently important to enlist icrioui
attention.

Our Claim Against Germany.
When tha I'nited States made demand that a
bill of $.'iJ,000,000, on account of expense in
curred for maintaining troopi on the Rhine, be
paid by Germany befor any further umi are
credited on reparations, answer was given to
two questions. The umpoken query ( the Al-
1 c has been, What course will America take in
this matter? Democrats who argued that rejec
tion of the Versaillri treaty would either forfeit
claims for this indemnity or require direct nego
tiations with Berlin have wondered what the
iUrding administration would do about the bill
The world knows now: America wants its
bill paid first of all, and, very much to the sur
prise of the League of Nations supporters, lias
made the approach through the Allied commis
sion. No question can exist as to the justice of
the claim, nor as to the right of the United State
to insist on its being paid forthwith. This is a
claim arising out of the war, incident to the mak
ing of peace and settlement of treaty terms, and,
although the United States is not a party to that
treaty, its right to collect expenses incurred does
rot vanish, but becomes a prior lien.
A collateral effect possible as growing out of.
the proceeding is hinted at by the London
Chronicle, which says:
Intrinsically the claim is not unreasonable,
and if the practical effect is to make some of
our continental friends less zealous to prolong
the occupation of German soil this would be
quite as much to the taste of British opinion as
to American.
The Westminster Gazette sees in the move
ment a subtle attempt on part of our government
to get its troops out of Europe, and also added
emphasis to the advice from Washington that the
reparations - question should be discussed at
Genoa. Most beneficial of effects likely to fol
low, it is argued, will be the termination of the
expensive occupation of German territory and a
more substantial approach to a real settlement
that yet has been attained.
Bombarding the Treaty.
Hiram Johnson of California went into action
Monday in the United States senate, fired salvo
after salvo against the four-power treaty. He
was joined from time to time by Borah of Idaho,
whose irreconcilability led him to challenge the
veracity of Secretary Hughes, expressing a doubt
that the latter told the truth when he said he
wrote the treaty. Senator Johnson's argument
is that the delegates from the United States
were beguiled into signing and the president of
the United States fooled into submitting to the
senate a treaty that contains the surrender of
all our national rights, binds the country to what
ever action may be determined by rivals, posing
as our friends but really our foes, and exposing
the nation to dishonor, danger, and possible
extinction. In fact, things couldn't be worse, ac
cording to the viewpoint of the senator from
California. However, just as a great many
American people are inclined to think that Wood
row Wilson really was a patriot, so a lot of them
will believe that Warren G. Harding has the inter
ests of his country at heart. More than 16,000,-
000 Americans voted for Harding because they
believed he would do something like call the
Washington conference. It may suit the pro
gram of Senators Johnson, Hitchcock and Borah
to undo the work of that conference, "but the
people want peace, and they may get tired of
listening to these implacable opponents of every
thing that anybody else proposes to get peace.
The treaty h being bombarded, all right, yet it
does not appear to be in great danger of demolition.
Slashing Local Tax Rates.
The experience of Dawson county, where a
reduction in tax rate to the extent of 41 per cent,
has beeen accomplished by the county board, is
likely to inspire both envy and "emulation.
Analysis of the facts, however, discloses no evi
dence of a miracle. lit achieving "the result at
tained the authorities merely have used common
sense and business judgment. One point must
be kept clear in mind. Of the total of $90,000 an
nounced as saved, $60,000 is accounted for by a
special levy that will be dropped because its
purpose is completed. But $30,000 is to be saved
by" the simple method of applying prudent, in
telligent management to county business. Here
is the secret of the whole problem. Waving a
wand or pronouncing a cabalistic formula will
not reduce taxes; no magic is potent to effect the
relief property owners seek. Hard-headed judg
ment, the exercise of such care in making public
bargains as would be put forth in private deal
ings, intelligent handling of all details relating
to the county's activities, true economy and not
parsimony, are the essential elements of a pro-'
gram that will lead to better financial conditions
among the several counties of the state, and will
quiet much of the existing discontent, because
taxpayers will have assurance that they are get
ting value received for the money they pay into
the public coffers. The world will never part
with all its grumblers, but most people give over
complaint when convinced that taxes are not
going to waste.
Egypt and the Philippines
Soma Comparisons of Problems and
Policies As to Dealing With Ftoplss.
(From ths London Spectator.) -
Independence i not the universal benefit
which it is as.unifd to bt by soma well-meamn
persons. It may indrrd be the truest kindness to
withhold independence from countries which art
enable to sxrrcue it lr their own adrautaf,
No sane Lngluhman wi.hu t withhold self'

comtitutionally unable lo say yes or no plainly,
now unlike inry art io American omcni, ai
though they art in habit of holding ovrr our
heads the threat of American duaoproval if w
should hesitate to hand our powers of f If gov
ernmrnt to subject races all ovrr the world!
We have just received the full text of the re
port of the American special mission to th
Philippines which was led by General Leonard
wood. I here is no nebulosity about tins report,
Uieneral Wood says that the transfer of control

ence. The American government, he says, would
therefore "not be jutilied in relinquihing the
supervision of the government of the Philippine
islands. 1 the present status should continue
until the people have had time to ab.orb and
thoroughly master the powers already in their
hands.' Jinally. General Wood point out with
creat emphasis that "in no circumstances should
the American government allow a constitution
to come about which would leave the I'nitrd
States in a position of responsibility without
authority."
a a a
The British government, if they had not
enough information to make no their mind deft
nitciy whether it was or was not safe to fcive
fcgypt independence, ought to have sent a oe
cial commission of investigation like General
Wood's commission. Then, having studied the
report of the commission, they ought to have
come to a decision and have informed the
Egyptians precisely of that decision. L'nfortu
nately they acted quite otherwise. They did in
deed send a commission of investigation headed
by Lord Milner. but they instructed it to draft a
scheme for Egyptian independence, and then
they made that scheme known to the whole
world. The appetite of the Egyptians was im
mediately whetted by the bill of fare placed be-
tore them, i hen the government besan to have
after-thoughts. Egypt was on the direct route
to India and the east. What would happen if
tne Egyptians interrupted the service of the Suez
canal? Then, again we had made ourselves re
sponsible for the nationals of many countries in
tgypt. now could we be responsible for their
interests and their personal safety if we withdrew
all troops from the interior and contented our
selves with sitting down and watching the canal
zone? And even then, would the troops in the
canal zone be safel Might not the Egyptians
cut on the sweet water supply! It may be an
swered that brackish or salt water could be con
densed for the troops in the canal zone and that
in any case the sweet water supply could not be
cut off without doing irreparable damage to
Egyptians themselves. But that is a small mat
ter. The government made endless difficulties for
themselves by dangling a bait in front of the
Egyptians noses and then snatching it away.
The doctrine of nationalism has hem nnnn.
larized so fast and so widely since the war that
it seems to us a hopeless policy to say that we
will not encourage national aspirations directlv
after having implied by the publication of the
Milner report that we would encourage them.
Nor is it only the spirit of self-determinatinn
which is working furiousy in the brains of the
Egyptians. All over the world the lesson of Ire
land has been watched and learned. It i im.
possible not to trace both in Egypt and India
imitations of the procedure which the Sinn Fein
ers adopted in opening negotiations. We must
sot be understood to mean that there is a real
similarity between India and Egypt. In India
we have given all that we promised and more
than we ought to have promised. In Eevot. on
the other hand, we have given a good deal less
than we seemed to promise. The position, of
course," ought, to have been reversed, for Egypt
is not like India a congeries of peoples but a
comparatively homogeneous mass.
bo far we can see the government could have
come to an agreement with Adlv Pasha. He
would probably have accepted a little less than
the Milner scheme if only we' had not insisted
upon the importance of keeping garrisons in so
many parts of Egypt. Adly knew perfectly well
that Egypt could not prosper at all without us;
he even knew that nothing would make his coun
try more insecure than a British policy of leav-
ng tgypt entirely without protection or advice.
He valued the experience and good will of Brit
ish officials. What he wanted, as we understand,
was the form of independence. And that was re-'
fused.
The riots instigated by Zaghlul Pasha, were
the sequel. And now Egypt has reached such
a pass that no Egyptian dares to take office as
prime minister unless he has in his hand' a
British promise of independence at least in name.

It is then true that "at no time in our liter
ary history was the English public as represented
by its critics and leaders of taste less qualified
to admire , and celebrate William Shakespeare?"
Is it true that never before has his fame been
so low or so confused?" My own answer would
be that never before have Shakespeare's critics
been so generally enlighteded, his essential poten-
les so clearly felt, his fame so secure and his
contemporaneity so obvious. And this good
fortune arises in large measure, I think, from the
fact that in these times the readers of his plays
?re more directly fixing their attention where
Shakespeare certainly fixed his. If we are los
ing interest in those vexed inquiries as to when
Macbeth first conceived the murder, why Emilia
was silent about the handkerchief and why Ham
let pretended madness, we are the more direct
and ardent in our attention to Macbeth, Desde
mona and Hamlet themselves. I venture to be
lieve that the informed reader is giving himself
more artlessly to the thought, the utterance, the
poetry, the crisis of emotion and insight those
moments when the play disappears and we dwell
for brief instants in the presence of life itself.
This reader. I take it, is more willingly and less
fearfully, taking counsel of the school for which
Mr. Shaw speaks when he advises us "to dis
sect out the absurb sensational incidents of
the borrowed story from the genuine Shakes
pearean tissue." I shall not boast that our gen
eration is the first to discern "the genuine Shakes
pearean tissue." My impression is, however.
Lthat the teachers and critics of our time will
fall below their privilege n irom me iauuia ui
th .l-.nn'p ihev do not derive means for de
livering the general reader from the delusion
that all things in Shakespeare ae excellent, and
more particularly, that Shakespeare is a flawless
