The Mwspapcrs would print the detailed con clusions for the information of the public If theso who have the report would only five it out.

THE WHITE MAN UNLOADS PART OF HIS HEAVY BURDEN British Withdrawal Frem Egypt May Be a Prelude te the Withdrawal of the Weatern Raeea Frem Aala THH protectorate ever Egypt which the British have just terminated dotes only from December 18, 1014. Until thnt time Egypt was one of the Irlbutary states in the Turkish Empire, nominally ruled by a Khedive, Abbas Hllrai, who bad been Khedive since 1802, allied himself with the Germans In the World War. The British deposed him and set up Hussein Knmtl as Sultan of an Independent Egypt nndcr the British protec tion. This condition has continued until the present, while there has been an active native movement te free the country from British control started by German propa ganda In 1015. While Egypt was a Turkish state It had really been a British possession since 18S3. nnd It was ruled in faet flieugh net In name by a British agent nnd Censul General with the powers of n Minister Plenipotentiary. This condition enme nbeut .through force of circumstances. Egypt get Inte financial troubles of various kinds, growing out of the financing of the fjuez Cnnnl nnd ether enterprises. In 1S73 the British bought the shares in the cnnnl belonging te the Khedive and became the largest shareholder In the enterprise which It had erlglnnlly opposed. In 1870 the French and the Eng H'li ench appointed n controller general te supervise the affairs of the country In order te protect their financial Interests In the canal. A mllltarv rebellion broke out in the sum mer of 188'.?. The British Intervened, put down the rebellion nnd restored the au thority of the Khedive. France declined te assist in this work. As a result, th'e Khedive In January. 18S3. issued a decree obollsh ebollsh obellsh Ing the joint control of England nnd France and appointed nn English financial ntvler. Thus began the British occupation of Egypt, which hns continued te the pre-ent : nn occupation that was always admitted te be temporary, but which had centluued " long thnt in 1013 there were skeptics who insisted that It was farcical te pretend that It was net te be permanent. Yet during all thet-c years the forms of nutonemy were preserved In Egjpt. The Khedive was the head of the Government nnd appeared ns such en all state occasion1 eccasion1 occasien1 But ns a mntter of fart he did nothing of Importance without the approval of the British Censul General. Under the new arrangement Egtpt Is If held about the same relation te the BritM Empire that Cuba holds te the Unite-' Stutes, The protection "f Its foreign In tercsts nrc te be under British direction nil'' the British nre te defend Egjpt from out"Idi Interference, either direct or indirect, nn they are te have the right te protect tin route te Indin through the cunal. But li their domestic affairs the Jptians are t' be free te de as they pleus-e, with no grcati" restrictions thnn are imposed by the Unite States en the Cubans. An anomalous condition is thus cemln1 te an end. a condition for which the Britis' have been condemned with mere or lc bitterness for nearly forty years. And tl" end leaves the Egyptians In n better eendi Hen than they were in the beginning. Th British hae developed the country nn trained It in tlie arts of government. It found it paIng tribute te Turkey nnd i" 'eaves it pang tribute te no one. The chnnge relieves the British Empii of ene of its moral liabilities It hns kep faith with the Egvptinn-. and it leaves ther with n greater degree of independence tint thev hnve had since t''ev became part of tl'i Turkish Emnlre. The British gunrnntc against foreign Interference is nn nssurann that the Turks will ne,t be permitted t rcvumc their suzerainty. The settlement of the Irish nnd the Eg n tlan questions tones but one inrpleIn ireblem In connexien with the gevermnen of British dependencies, nnd that in ii India. It would be impossible te c-timnt the value of the material benefit which tl British hae conferred en India. Thei benefits are recegnised by the people of thn great peninsula. But thev de net like t' be overlerded bv people of n different rnr. nnd religion. There is n strong mevemen new en, feet te get rid of the British. Om faction Is organizing force nnd another fee tien Is passively resisting the British rule. The problem will have te be faced sooner or later. Just hew it will be solved no one can tell nt this time, but these familiar with the British genius for geernment are confident thnt n way out will be found. It took mere than n hundred years te solve the Irish problem. Less than fifty year were required te find an honorable way out of Egpt. But the Indian problem hns ex isted for much longer than either of thee There have been periodic revolts nnd muti nies and mnssarres. And during the World War the British were guilty of outrages In suppressing uprisings which find no de fenders even In Londen. The peeple of India would like te rule their various btates without foreign Inter ference. But the British have been ther" for centuries, carrlng what Kipling called tbe white man's burden. Ne one can denv thnt the world ns n whole is better berauec of British rule in India. But no one cun deny, cither, nt least no one in America, thnt there can be no justification for the permnnent rule of any people by an alien rnce. It is excubnblc In n crisis, and It Is excusable nlse when the people, If left alone . would disturb the peace of the world or would deny nccess of the world te the resources of 11 vast territory. The world will be governed and the world will be developed. If theso who inhabit nrp- part of Jt retard its development or by their incapacity for government make trou ble for the peaceful nations, they will hnve te submit te Interference from the outside. The time may come when the Britlsb will withdraw from India and when the Western races will withdraw entirely from govern mental control In Asia. But thnt time is net yet. The United States Is net ready te withdraw from the Philippines, and It cannot withdraw without a shirking of Us responsibilities te the backward people whom it Is training iu the arts of govern ment. India baa tens of millions of people ns backward as the Filipinos. The imme diate task of tbe British there Is te devise some way te case the -friction whlle .grad ually turning the control of Indian affairs ever te tbe people of India. ILL-FARED WELFARE THE merits of the Idea of co-erdlnntlng the financial Interests of the charities and social agencies of Philadelphia are quite as visible teduy as when the plan first was launched. Unhappily, however, prac tice has net been adjusted te theory, with the result that the future of the Welfare .Federation Is seriously Imperiled. nw vi it-r wcgmiwar -asssaaBBiaBBBm asBB.aaai aaatai . a .rviiamarn niariiH. . .aBitasBneaBiaae. wa. a.aaar UKKauaataae' a s aVasaaBBBaan 'le.liMt .

Such candor Is dismal, but in nny event preferable te cherishing delu sions of success. The truth is that the federation machinery' designed te put an end te competitive drives and te the old methods of Inefficiency nnd extravagance in decking aid for chirltles and secial-bcttcrnfjnt bodies has net func tioned as its constructors hoped. It has becn said that the appeal for funds came In lean times. There have been charges of clumsy management. Whether or net this nsperslen can be proved Is beside the question. The most se rious laxity Is traccable directly te the pub lic of Philadelphia. The organizers of the Welfare Federation have labored unselfishly nnd untiringly te establish n sensible nnd economical system for financing a large group of charities.' But purses were tied when they should have been opened. In some Instances narrow vision was operative. The present situation places the commu nity in none tee favorable n light. The federation warrants greatly increased sub stantial support. It is Impossible te deny the excellence of the general principle wiilch It seeks te vitalize. It would be Intensely regrcttnble were a rclansc te the old order te ensue, and a dis-' tlnct reflection upon the self-rcpcct of a wealthy urban community, long famed for its humanitarian enterprises. Judge Mar tin's warning Is n new call for the realiza tion of responsibilities. MOORE AND MITTEN , MAYOR MOORE in his recent speeches has made no secret of his opposition te Themas E. Mitten, the Mitten manage ment of tbe P. K. T. and the bonus scheme for empleyes of the transit company which started the row in the Beard of Directors and the movement for Mitten's removal at the end of this month. The Mayer,' wit tingly or otherwise, has thrown his Influ cne and the influence of his office with the Insurgent directors and the powers behind them. ' There arc two sides te every question. A man may adhere te one or another with iut being open te charges of Insincerity nnd without having ulterior motives. Se long ns he nets courageously in the open he must 'ic credited with nn honest purpose. Cer tainly he will hnve an unquestioned right 'e his own opinions. The Mner hns the virtue of frankness. His tactics have been neither slippery nor "vn-lve. He Is with the antl-Mittcnltcs, and his derisive references te the present" 'rnctien management nnd his bread hints of nfalr treatment necerded by that mannge nent te the city and the car riders will indeubtedly be used ns propaganda for the Insurgents who nre clamoring for a change from the present order. The Mner falls, however, te explain his "leice of alternatives. If Mltten gees, who ill take his plnce? If the "present co- nernthe labor agreements nre nbnndencd, hat sort of agreements will be substituted? "Ill nnv labor agreements be substituted? nd whnt sort of operating policy will be ubstituted for that under which Mitten Unlimited strikes, Improved street-car "rvice and put the P. It. T. en a paying nsis? If Mr. Moere can answer these questions knows mere than any of the Insurgent Mrecters. Better cur senlce is needed. 'ut will It be obtained by the mere ousting f Mitten and a deliberate war en the work- ig force of the P. It. T.? Hnrdly. Fer it' present co-operating union there would substituted a unit of the Federation of '.nber, and Instead of peaceful settlements f wage and working problems there would e nn Inevitnble resort te strikes. "My Interest," bald the Mayer, "is net limnrily with the empleyes' organization 'r the dissatisfied members of the P. R. T. 'leard of Directors. It Is with the public. ' want te see the public's lnterests nnd the tl.v'jt Interests served before the interests f either P. R. T. group nre served." Thnt statement is ndmlrnble enough se 'nr as it gees. But It expresses nothing but hope. It suggests no means by which the lope mny be realized. Until the Mayer can ee te the end of the general question and lefine In clear terms the sort of working rinclple which he would like te sec estnb Ished In the plnce of the Mitten mnnnge nent, the discriminating public will be dls dls escd te regard his propaganda with much eserve. In what quarter among Mitten's oppo nents does the Mayer expect te find the ort of public spirit necessary te an Itb'al nlmlnstrutien of the street-car service? Who arc the men who may be expected te Improve upon the present order? Can we leek for this difficult service te the moving spirits of the Union Traction Company or te the groups which stele the city's streets and new held them In heck under legal technicalities? Shall we trust In the Xcw Yerk financial clique which continues te dream of n national street-car monopoly and of n ten-cent fare as a national Insti tution? These are the forces that have been fight ing Mitten, nnd they are the forces that would, create the necessary substitute for the Mitten system. The fight en Mitten Is by no menns endpd, It will be continued under the surface te the last ditch. And if the Mner Is te give aid te Mitten's enemies he should be prepared te tell the people just what they mny cvpect If Mitten and his assistants pack up nnd leave.

Lewis. In fnct, the Vice .Presi dent made that mistake of the multitude of buying an overcoat with a velvet cellar. An overcoat with a velvet cellar gets shabby Jh one-fourth the respectable span of ene with a plain cloth cellar, The nap wears off the velvet, and grease en it shines out conspicuously. A velvet cellar Is probably the greatest felly in all clothes construction. But when Mr. Marshall came back te Washington net long nge after much'tour much'teur ing of the tall grass regions where he had lectured te appreciative throngs, his de nuded velvet cellar was net in evidence, ilia whole shabby coat had disappeared, in its stead was an Imposing creation of fur which enrried the impression of luxuri ance, of eelf-.'ndulgcnt cbmfert.

COLLINGS On Our Seuth American Trade mllERE is no rcaben why the United X States should net secure n large pro portion of the trade of Seuth America, ac cording te Dr. Harry T rellings, professor of economics at the Wharten Scheel of the University of Pennsylvania. "Before the war." said Dr. Callings, "the market for selling in Seuth America was lnrgely In the? hands of European countries, especially England nud Germany. The United States occupied a position a little higher than thnt of France In most of the countries ns it Is possible te mnkc such a classification or te consider Seuth America ns a unit. "These countries surrounding the Car ibbean Sen have been large buyers from the United States for n long time past, Vene zuela nnd Colombia getting mero Imports from us thau did Brazil and Argentina. This was partly it matter of proximity and partly of btcilmship communications. Venezuela and Colombia, being nenrer our Gulf ports than the ether countries, there wns mere business between them and, there fore, mere btcamship lines. Experts the Same "The central reason back of the lack of trade between this country nnd Seuth Amer ica wns prlmai Ily that we exported exactly the same things which they exported, such as meats and feedstuffs. Seuth America hud these commodities ln excess nnd did net need our surplus of them. On the ether hand, Europe needed these things nnd had In return an excess of manufactured goods which were exactly whnt was lacking nnd needed in the Seuth American countries. Europe get most of this trnde. therefore, hecausu Seuth Amei leu had whnt Europe lacked and Europe hud whnt Seuth America lacked, whlle In our case the situation wits just reversed ; both Seuth America nnd our selves had -en excess of the same things. "In addition, the United States did net need much of nn expert mnrkcp formerly. Our domestic mnrket absorbed almost all we could produce aud, therefore, when we could' sell at home, what was the use- of maintaining nn elaborate and expensive bell ing organization thousands of miles away? We hed our market within our own geo gee grnphlcal limits. "But new flie sltuntien Is changed. If one leeks at the experts from the United States of thirty or forty years age it will be found thnt n very large proportion of the goods consisted of feedstuffs and n vcrv small proportion wns manufactured goods', while If a comparison be made with the same experts at the beginning of the war It will be seen that the reverse Is true. Manufactured Goods in Demand "Our experts new consist of almost CO per cent of manufactured goods, which the countries of beuth America want te buy On the' ether hand, the experts show nn Increasingly small amount of feedstuffs and meats. As a matter of fact, instead of selling feedstuffs nnd meat we want te buy them. The bituatlen thus reversed from that of former years puts ub in n position where we are naturnlly In line for larger trade dealings with Seuth America. If we want te buy what they have te sell nnd they want te buy what we have te sell a much-Incrcused trade should be tlfe result. "But trade conditions nil ever 'the world nre very much upset just new nnd foreign exchange is unusually unfuvornble te -Seuth America at the present time. Thus they find that when they want te exchange their' money for American money they have te pay mero because the exchnnge Is against them. This naturally makes It mere difficult te sell them American products. The ex change Is mero favorable in the case of England and Germany nnd gives theso coun tries n considerable advantugc. Leng Credits Demanded "In addition 'te these features, south America has become accustomed te exten sions of credit for long terms, England and Germany have both been very liberal with the credit extcnrlens te the Seuth American countries, whlle the Americans, as traders have net been In tbe habit of granting these long credit extensions, "We must develop something along these lines If we want te get and held the trade of nations accustomed te these long, exten sions of credit. .1 em by no means sure that it Is financially sound or desirable for us M clve such lone extensions ns tlina .).... i. ,UeJ.ra."n8Tn th,r eff..rU t0 nnd held lrndeivput some reasonable concessions must ?'T' ' ' P crClllt tcnU-a must ' esfclsssfsW r tJMM. gWi WM II t HERE'S 'OPING!" . m,""' .firfw 1:V": Pftxt'i, ffflr-r for a longer time than we have been 'ac customed te allow In the past. The Selling Systems "The belling bystem is nn Important thing in the matter of foreign trade. In order te market biicccssfullj commodities In foreign countries, especially In Latin-America coun tries, se different from the United States ln customs nnd practices, there must be main tained nn extensive nnd intrlcntc organiza tion. Previous te the wur the great com mercial houses of this country did net huve buch organisatiens.

England has been at It for 1!00 cnrs and Germany for the Inst fifty years, consequent, we ennnet hope te equal these great organizations In the period of seven j cars, but sooner or later we shall equal them and probably fur burpass them.

A Manufacturing Difficulty "This, howeicr. lends immediately Inte n manufacturing difficulty. Mass production is Hie 1e.1l secret of American commercial success, and the minute that mass production ceases anil special orders are taken, all this is upset.
