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' government from tht who art proved espaMt of it. Unhappily our present government are 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 1. . I -'-- t - ! ! J .1. . p ine i uipinus nas ureri ioo rapid, ana tn.ii, though they art not wanting in the iii.tmrt for self-eovrrnment. they lark sufficient finer! 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. Shakespeare Not Played Out The spectacle of middle aged business men seated at the little desks where SO years ago they pursued the three R's sounds all right in telling the story, but some of you grown up chaps try sitting down at one of those desks that used to seem so big to you. "Hold your wheat!" is reported to be the try m f ranee and Germany just now. now nice it would have been if the farmers over there had said "Hold your horses 1" a few years ago, A revolution in South Africa might add to the death list, but it will not increase the gayety of nations. Down there men shoot with their eyes open and take aim before firing. The English parson who has gone on strike against the godlessness of his congregation will ikely find himself engaged in a war of attrition right from the jumpvoff. "Uncle Andy" Mellon is for a bonus, but doesn't care to pay out any money on that ac count. Talking about taxes, Sam's receiving day. tomorrow is Uncle 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 artist.
