STATE SOVEREIGNTY.
’ When Secretary Lansing wired the
attorney general of Arisoua asking
him to extend the reprieve of several
Mexicans condemned to death. "in
view of the political situation in Mex-
ico." he was bluntly informed that
“the United States has no right to in-
Q‘ ., tottere.”
' That was quite true, though not
precisely to the poilll. The federal gov.
ernment had not demanded a reprieve

PAMAMERICAN GETTING ON THE
JOB.
The administration has done the
expected thing, and the wise thing, in
calling a conference of Latin-Ameri-
ca diplomatic representatives to
counsel with the state department on
the Mexican attain That conference
is a natural outgrowth of the policy
which began last year with’the “A. B.
C." mediation conference to adjust
the differences between the United
IStates and Mexico. dtjlnvolves amore
formal recognition of the fact that
the Latin-American republics are to
have a far more important part to
play in the settlement of PanAmeris
can problems. It means that the Man
roe Doctrine is hereafter to be up-
held not by the sole dictum and pow-
er of the United States, but by the
combined authority of all the Ameri-
cans.
This evidence of unanimity should
have a. wholesome effect on the Mex-
icans. Obviously , if the sister repub-
lics of their own race, language and
traditions agree with the disliked and
suspected “Yancuis” in demanding
’5:- 1aciiitate certain delicate diplomatic
H I :' negotiations. And regardless of the,
merits of tllis particular case. the]
kept that the Arizona officials could
with impunity flout the lulled States
government is something in which;
few citizens outside the locality d1
rootly interested will take any pridu’
i
or satisfaction.
it is the same trouble that was ex- {
"M pel'ieuced over the Japanese land leg-
islation. it is the some trouble that
(incurred in ltouisialla a few. years ago
when the ltaliltn government, anger-
at by the failure at Washington to
dbtalu satisfaction for the killing of
iltalian subjects, broke off diplomatic
“ relations with this country.
‘ Our federal government is supreme
‘g "fin theory. it has a monopoly of tho
' power to make foreign treaties. but
7 apparently lacks {power to enforce
l’" them when they clash with state
.. rights. The awkward situation is a
. ’heritage of the mutual jealOUSy of the
tmeen original states.
‘\ The civil war was thought to have
disposed of the old state rights dots

V’ danger the welfare “of the‘ nation.
Though powerless to make tr ties,
01 may break them. Though un-
. able to declare war. they may by their
independent action, bring on war.
It'is an unpleasant and dangerous
, _ situation for a nation which prides lt-
. self on keeping its word, and which

nation of treaty-breakers.

TRADING WITH RusslA.
. it is natural that closer trade rela-
I tlons should be established between
Russia and the United States. A steady
stream of ships crossing the Atlantic

, erg-manufactures to Russia, want car.
goes for their return‘trip. And we
speed Russm's sugar beet seed ,fertillz
or‘h'ides‘. skins and mineral oils.
The Russian government has lifted
its ombargo, on the export of merchan-
‘\ digs ‘to this country. which was never
intended as a discrimination against
. uls‘ bu as a precaution against the ex-
ports reaching her enemies by re-
ahlpment. Thai: danger is disposed of
. by an mangement by which our fed-
;eral department of commerce will be
sponsor for the legitimate consump-
Lion of Russian goods which will be
punctuate to it.
We have never had any trade-with
. l“ worth speaking of. Our total
I from Russia and Siberia in
were cab‘
'that Mexican anarchy cease, and in
willingness to cooperate in putting
”down that anarchy by force if ueces~
sary. the revolutionary leaders will
be more disposed to listen to reason.
But if, in spite of the unanimous
condemnation of tile rest of the world
!they persist in their selfish aims and
futile slaughter. then there is noth-
ing left for us to do but send a
strong'body of Pan-American police-
men into Mexico to-trestore order, as
we are now doing in “Hayti.
W
NEUTRALITY.
At the convention of the German-
American National Alliance in San
Francisco. Dr. C. J. Mcxamer. its
‘president. demonstrated the genuine
neutrality of the organization as fol-
lows: I
"'i do not want to be prophetic.
but i believe that the future will
prove us right. The time will and must
come when the American, even the
boldest Anglo-American, will admit
that the German-American is the most
Americanized and therefore the most
human, of all neutral American citi-
zens." .- -
And be capped his3 argument with
the words:
"Hall and victory to German and
Austrian arms on the seas, on land
and in the air."
After that outburst, when Dr. Hex-
amer adds, ‘il must say that I have,
been proud of my country lately," a
plain American 'who can never hope
to rise to such hyphenated heights of
neutrality may be forgiven for ask-
ing, "Which country?"

Emptying commodities in the greatest
demand. Only a few days ago it was
announced tht the prdts of a big
milling firm in South Wales for the
war year weer four times as great as
£89,000 in 1314.
and £368,000 in 1915. This meant the
enormous profit of 300 per cent. in ex-
cess of their previous year’s profits.
in the Home at Commons a {on
nights ago Mr. Philip Snowden. said,
regartflhg the shipping profits, that he
had received a circular advising him
to put his money into shipping, and
holding out the most alluring pros-
pects of gain. and he mentioned that
owners 0! single steamers were, ac-
cording to his information, making
sums of flab” and £35,000 a you.
There is no doubt that many ship-
ping firms have piled up wealth to the
extent of hundreds of thousands of
pounds since the war began. and some
indication of the huge profits which
the shipping companies are now malt-
ing was given recently by the chair—
man of a big line, who told sharehold~
ers of the purchase of a certain vessel
which is to be employed in the seryice
of the Allies. She cost only £56,000.
and the freight payable on the twelve
months’ charter amounts to £64,000.
Quite lately a cargo steamer which
was built in 1910 for £18,000 was sold
for £30,000. representing, after allow‘
in: for depreciation, an increase of 100
per cent. on the cost price, while in
another case a buyer, who contracted
for a new steamer last year at £130,-
000 was offered an additional £100.-

Another important group of dccis
ions in a delatcd field is of those deter
mini?“ the application of the federal
liability statute to different classes 0.
railroad employiucnts. Several cases
are found which turn on the nature or
the employment of the injured person,
i. 0., whether in interstate commerce
or not. The courts are not uniform in
their construction of this statute. but
among the employments found to be
within the not were those of a black-
smith repairing cars used in "interstate
commerce. a telegraph lineman en-
gaged i3 repair work, workmen in~
stalling block signil systems. a carpet»
ter building an addition to a freight
shed, a laborer carrying coal to heat.
ashop in which interstate cars were
being repaired etc... Employmonts,
which according to the decisions were
excluded, were workmen constructing
cut- -oils for shortening interstate track-
age, a hostler killed by the explosion
of the boiler of a locomotive whose last
run was interstate. and a switch engine
"flromon who was at the moment handl
ing only interstate cars, although his
work regularly involved the handling
of both classes of commerce lndiscrim
inately.
Other classes of federal laws that re-
ceived considerable attention in the
court decisions are those limiting the
hours of service or railroad employes.
and restoring the supply and main.
tenance of safety appliances.
Other interesting cases are one that
grew out of the textile Workers strike
in Massachusetts. in which the sc-
countabiliiy of the collectors .of a fund
intended for the relief of strikers’ fam-
ilies was affirmed; one connected with
the bridge workers' campaign against

transportation of explosives in inter-
state trains; a murder‘trlal growing
