A

RECENT issue of the New York "Evening Post" carried an inter

esting despatch from Berlin. The despatch announced the fact that "seventeen whisky manufacturers, specializing in the exportation of 'Scotch' to the United States, have been arrested in Bremen." Any one who read this statement might, at first, be led to believe that the conscientious German authorities had made the arrests out of friendliness to the United States and respect for our laws. Such, however, is far from the case. It appeared, on further reading, that the German authorities acted on the complaint of British distillers who wished to ship their own genuine brands to the United States in entire disregard of our customs laws. The arrest simmers to a case of unfair competition between lawbreakers.

Great Britain wonders sometimes why other nations do not take her protestations of disinterestedness at their face value. She is shocked and somewhat mystified, for instance, when other nations discount her promises concerning the opium trade. Her connivance at the violation of our American customs laws constitute one of the reasons why Americans are inclined to think that she occasionally puts pounds and pence above her desire for fair play.

Reports from England indicate that the smuggling of liquor into England from France is again beginning to assume annoying proportions. It will be interesting to see what England will do if enterprising rum-runners set up a blockade of lawbreaking vessels just outside her own territorial waters. Would it modify her view towards her own citizens who are so jealous of their peculiar right to violate the laws of the United States?

Good-morning and Good-by"! Lincoln G. Andrews (left) succeeds

he did. When Mr. Parker Gilbert resigned as Under-Secretary of the Treasury to go to Europe to administer the. Dawes Plan, there were those who believed that Mr. Wadsworth, on the record of the work he had done, should have been made Under-Secretary in his stead. If Mr. Wadsworth thought so himself, he said nothing about it.

The two largest pieces of work that Mr. Wadsworth did were in connection with the funding of foreign debts and the

adjustment of loans made to railroads by the Government as the result of Government operation. He was secretary of the World War Debt Funding Commission and actually functioned as executive officer. He did most of the work of arranging the details of the British settlement when the Baldwin commission was

in this country. He was sent to Europe as special commissioner of the United States to arrange for reimbursement to this country of its share in the cost of occupation. In addition to these special tasks, he performed a large share of the routine executive work of the Department.

Mr. Wadsworth retired from the Treasury Department in order to devote himself again to his profession of engineering. Following his resignation, a general realignment of executive duties

Secretary of the Treasury

was begun by Secretary Mellon, which appears likely to result in changes somewhat radical. Observers in Washington believe, for instance, that this shifting will result in shearing the head of the Prohibition Unit of most of his authority, which will devolve upon one of the Assistant Secretaries.

The President has chosen a capable successor to Mr. Wadsworth in the person of Lincoln G. Andrews, of New York.

The Reward of Non-Partisanship THE record of the New York Legisla

ture at its recent session is not heartening to those who would like to see public business transacted in the public interest rather than for partisan advantage. True, some things were done from which public benefit will accrue, but the number of such things would have been increased greatly had either side played patriotism instead of politics.

Still, it appears that legislators who do pursue a non-partisan course on nonpartisan matters have nothing but a clear conscience in the way of immediate reward. After the Legislature was elected several journals called upon Republican members to co-operate with the re-elected Democratic Governor in carrying through the constructive portions of his programme. The Outlook was one of those

journals; the New York "World" was another. When a few Republicans did support an essential portion of the Smith programme, the New York "World" heralded the successful result as a partisan triumph for Governor Smith. That, to say the least of it, is not encouraging to the spirit of non-partisan action.

The Republicans none the less would have had their reward-and it would not have been long delayed-if they had consistently helped Governor Smith. The reward would have come in the form of a stronger position for the Republican Party in the State as a whole, and particularly in New York City. Probably it would have taken the form of a Republican administration replacing that of Mayor Hylan.

The greatest dereliction of the Republicans, however, was not in failure to support any Smith measure, but in failure to redeem their own pledge for the enactment of an anti-Smith measure, a prohibition enforcement law for the State.

An International Post Mortem

FOR

OR Some time it has been clear that the Geneva Protocol for outlawing war is dead. Austen Chamberlain's speech at the Council of the League of Nations in March did not therefore kill the Protocol; it simply pronounced the findings of the coroner's inquest. As our editorial correspondent in Europe, Mr. Elbert F. Baldwin, says in a letter to us from Geneva, Austen Chamberlain was the star performer there. He was the center of the show, partly because of his personality, partly because this was his first visit to Geneva as his country's representative and because he presided over the Council, but most of all because he pronounced the doom of the instrument which France and some other European countries have regarded as a promise of security.

As soon as it became clear that a nation might be declared an aggressor and outlaw for simply refusing to submit to the League's Council a matter of internal policy like immigration there was no chance that the Protocol could survive. On a point like that the British colonies were solidly with America. Moreover, Britain did not relish being made a sort of naval policeman. Nations still wish to retain at least the semblance of liberty of choice as to what wars they shall join.

[blocks in formation]

Of course the Protocol can be changed labor.

The election of this short-lived Parliament was made necessary by events growing out of the assassination of the British General, Sir Lee Stack. Great Britain resented this crime and held that it grew out of the excess of Nationalist agitation. The course of conduct announced by Great Britain was strenuous, and has since been modified. Great Britain will rightly insist that she shall control the Sudan; she will protect British interests when needed; she will act justly and fairly as regards irrigation from the Nile; but she will abstain from interfering in Egypt's political affairs.

The former Egyptian Prime Minister, Zaghloul, in his turn has moderated his ultra-radical threats and will abstain from violent talk about British influence. In the recent election Zaghloul's adherents carried a majority of the seats in the Egyptian Parliament. He had before this election 176 out of 214 seats; after the new election he had 112 votes. But, while Zaghloul could not again become Prime Minister, he was elected President of the Chamber of Deputies, as he polled a larger vote than anybody else. The whole situation was unsatisfactory, and, after the few hours' session on March 23, a decree from King Fuad dissolved Parliament and called for a new election in May. Evidently, the hope of the King and of those who are opposed to dangerous radicalism is that Zaghloul's rival, Ziwar, may gain enough seats through the new election to make it possible for him to become Prime Minister of what is now the independent Kingdom of Egypt.

A Trial Election in Germany

IN

N this country, if no candidate for the Presidency receives a majority, there is no election. So it is in Germany; but, instead of throwing the election into the legislative body, as in this country, the German law provides for a second popular election, in which a plurality for any one candidate will suffice.

In the election on Sunday of last week no candidate was chosen as President of the German Republic to succeed the late President Ebert; but the votes indicated a very even division between those who believe in the Republic and want to preserve it and those who distrust it and long for the good old days of the Kaiser. It would seem as if the Communists, who can hardly be called either democratic or republican, held the balance of
