Wednesday, February; 20 1918 ECONOMIC PEACE AND INTERNATIONALISM (Continued from first page) m eat; but the government. of these backward nations is always Meal:. It is Incapable of keeping order or of rais ing sufficient taxes to pay expenses. The ruler is dazzled by the willingness of foreigners to lend him money for concessions of one kind or another. The natives suddenly realize that their counti y is slowly being handed over to the foreigner. In then• ignorance and weakness they take pinnitive revenge on him or intrigue with competing groups of foreigners In either case imeign intervention in the affairs of the ninny become inevitabe, "Sphere of Influence" The native governments, therefore, always pi ove Incapable of regulating the keen competition among the vat ious foi eignets mthin their bottlers. The stronger governments, theiefot e, at tempt to come to some agreement among themselves concerning the ac tions of their subjects and citizens in these weak countries. Such agi cements have usually been unsuccessful because there is no means of seeing that they ate executed Poreigners m far-away lands take every advantage possible of their competitors and loudly call for protection iron their governments each time they feel injured by the actions of anyone else. Incidentally the feelings of the natives ate wounded even note deeply by the calm' way in which the fmeigners assume to dispose of their affahs As yet, therefore, no effective regulations exist among the great na tions fen the development of the re sources of the backward countries. Indeed, so futile have most such agree ments proved to be up to this time that the maul al tendency has always been to divide the disputed country into "spheres of influence"—which expres sion is simply a polite name for the first of the steps which leads to the inevi table status of a colony. So the great powers go on dividing the world among themselves—but not without great dan ger to the peace of the world, for, every time that any impoi tant steps in this direction are taken. the various foreign offices ale agog. Some country gains; the other loses, or perhaps each stands its gi ound and the dogs of war are let loose—and over places such as Servia, Asia Minor, or Morocco, off in the cornets of the world. The present war is a confession that the religion of nationalism and the sub sequent reaching out for to ritory and economic advantages over the world, has bioken down It is difficult to be lieve that the fervid national aspirations of such men as Mazzini, upon which historians have placed their stamp of apincv.al for these many years, has re sulted in the present debacle, but the lesson is plain. The war will have been 'waged In vain if it has not become ap parent that the intense nationalism of the last few decades must give way to it larger Intel national bi otherhood in the future. It is not easy to give up old ideas and take on new and more or less 'intangible ones. But suffering such as the world has been enduring these past 'few years has made men think of these things as they never thought of them before, and finally - when the wood cries out in anguish for a new dispen ntion the tra - .? , .2-1 . n . . 111 hav - z when some kind of international oi gam "sation along the lines already suggested by English and American statesmen can be carried into effect. International Commissions What can international organization do to eliminate these jealousies? Eel e indeed tt e are (leading on new gi ound and any one who does so must be pre-' pared to see some of his pet theories fall to the ground, because human nature Nt ill not all of a sudden sot ren der many of its selfish characteristics unless it can be pi ovel that it is advan tageous to do 50 Moreover, the at tempts at international pule : which have been tiled so far are not altogether re- assuring The Congo Free State was established under international auspices by Leopold If of Belgium. Its purposes were even humanitaratu in character. Representatives from various countries of the v,orld met upon several occasions and carefully devised rules and regula tions for the development of the country and the government of the natives of the country Everybody knows what a miserable farce the thing turned out to be, The Congo gradually passed into the hands of Leopold of Belgium and became a synonym for all that is bad in colonial government. The settlement of the Morocco affair at Algeciras in 1906 was an international affair although a single one of the potters was designated to attend to "police" duties in Morocco. In spite of this agreement Moi occo gradually pass ed into the hands of the French. Fur thermore, the muzzle placed on Turkey and China which leaves the determina tion of then• custom duties to the Great Power s has by no means i emoved these places front the arena of mtm national politics. On the other hand, we have the examples of two much less conspicuous international commissions which have been remarkably successful for a num ber of 3 ears. Ever since the collapse Easter Sunday Sees The World Re-Clothed `I2DER your Easter apparel early—don't come in at the last minute and rush your choice of material or hurry your fitting.

It pays! ;,Hartey W. Savers Allen St. ' State College of Turkish credit in 1875 a commission of representatives from the Great Powers lies administered the financial affairs of Turkey with such signal suc cess that. no controversies have ever arisen. Another international commis stun, much older than the one just re- ferred to, is the Danube commission. This body of men superintends the nav igation of this great highway of com merce for many miles up the river. So successful has been its work that it, to — O, has the universal approval of the great nations When one considers the suc cess of the Danube commission it does not appeal at all impossible to place such important water ways as the Diu dandles and the Bosphorus under internation control. The govern ment of these places should be in the hands of an international com mission fi om whose decision there could be no appeal Unless the commission enjoys such authority it becomes worse than useless Similar comissions should be established for the supervision of loans made to weak and backward countries, in order that such countries may not borrow money beyond their capacity to pay. Such commissions could also supervise the concessions made to fot elgners for the building of railways and the opening of mines, banks, and schools It is unnecessary to point out that unless these commis sions keep the interests of the natives in mind the device will be an entire fa.lure. Indeed, these commissions should be composed of men who are not only capable of rendering justice to all foreigners in such countries, but they should also be men who are inspired with a zeal to lift up the natives to a higher plane of- intelligence and self govei nment bemand Freedom of Trade These suggestions all demand a great er ft eedom of trade than now exists in the world. It will be necessary to go even further, however. It becomes in creasingly evident that all nations will have to agree to the abolition of dis criminating duties which now some times obtain between mother country and colony. It may even be necessary, as President Wilson has recently hinted, to make the import duties of all coun tries a matter of international agree ment. It is a perfectly -well known fact that the intricate system of pro tective duties by which each country btu gains with the others for reciprocal reductions in duties is one of the chief factors in producing international jeal ousies. After all, the whole world is interested In the rate of duties charged in other countries, and it is not um ea sonable to suppose that future genera tions will insist upon some internation al ieg,ulation of the same There is yet one other kind of regu lation which appears to be a necessity, namely, the pi eventing of differential rates on railroads passing through several countries. In the United States an Inter-state COmmerce Commission carefully avoids allowing the rates to be made in such a way as to give cities located at about equal distances nom the source of sup ply' any advantage over one another. Them e is just as much necessity for similar action in parts of the world where railroads do international busi ness. In this way it would be impos sible for (lei many to control Russia's wheat supply by means of pi eferential iaiiroad sates wanted to her cities. Likewise, goods landed at Antwerp %multi have equal opportunities to be cai ned to Cologne im Lille without any late discrimination except that which the distance and the difficulty of the °Maul naturally requires. Thus, not only international marine trade, but in ternational railway traffic becomes the subject of -international agreement. Who can doubt but that some such measures would_ lead to better interim tional feeling' , The varying types of govei nment do not cause international conflicts in most instances. They may accentuate them after war begins. Ordinarily, however, people who difTei' radically In government, religion, dress, size, and color, in fact in a thousand ways, live peacefully beside one another in the Twentieth Century until economic competition and discrimination stirs up suspicion and distrust. Indeed, we now have the climax of it in the greatest struggle ever staged in the history of the world. Peace,—let us not be de ceived—there can be no peace unless there is also Economic peace.
