! GREAT SHIPS FOR
JAPAN.
Japan is not sleeping on her oppor
tunities in naval development or
ocean-carrying. A recent report is to
the effect that the Nippon Yusen Kai
sha has formulated a plan by which
69 steamers with an aggregate of 515,
000 tons are to be built in a period of
it years at a cost ol $110,000,000,
sas the Chugai Shogyo. Of the fore
going total, 36 boats of 382.000 tons
would be ocean liners carrvtng pa
mongers and cargo from Japan to Liv
erpool, the United States, Shanghai
und other points. In addition, the
Nippon Yusen Kaisha Is adding to its
service between July 1, 1019, and the
earac date in 1920. ten Bteami n ag
gregating 90,000 tons. These plans an
not for the purpose of disposing of the
company's excess funds, but are for i
meeting the tendem i s of Bhlppin-'
throughout the world.
The naval dockyard at Kurd, Japan, 1
launched a warship, ihe largest yet
built in Japan, on November 9. This I
1 v as the battleship Nagato, the keel of
hich was laid in AukusL 1917. but of'
I which the building was considerably
delayed owing to scarcity of workers
and to changes in the plan of con
struction as a result of lessons fur
nished by the Jutland battle. At first
i' was proposed to build a ship of the
llyuga class with a displacement of
1,260 tons, but later her tonnage was
changed to 40,000. As soon as her
equipment and armament are com.
lilotpij, work will be commenced on
the li'illdlng of the Kaga, the Nagato's
t Bter ship. The Nagato will be armed
with 16-inch guns having a 30-mile
range and her engines may develop

the seas are crossed in a few hours,

MANY UNCERTAINTIES.
Whal r' the big financiers think
ing of business conditions? That ques
tion repeatedly is asked by the mer
chant, because so much depends on
,thc state of mind of the men who
J have the power to expand or restrict
:credits and industry.
Henry Clews, in his last letter, ex
presses some doubt as to the outlook
J owing to the number of big national
problems awaiting solution He says.
"The opening of congress accompa
nied by the usual special message
from the president and followed by
(the annual report of the secretary of
(the treasury has done very little to
'change the financial outlook during
I the pat week Inasmuch as the pres
ident had nothing to say either on
i the railways, the Mexican situation or
the peace treaty, those who were hop
ing for light in some one of these dl
rectlons have been obliged to defer
their expectations still further. While
congressional leaders have indicated
that there will be no delay in push
ing forward the railroad measure now
pending, and while there Is no reason
to fear the Bhelving of the question,
so far as can be learned, the finan
cial community would have been very
much better pleased had there ben
some disposal of the matter by the
president. Much the same may be said
of the ire.il of peace; and although i
uie Mexican situation is still perhaps
I too uncertain to admit of any definite
flS i ion, the lack of knowledge as to
White House policy has proved a heal
'lattng factor.
Business conditions throughout the
country up to the close of November
(were favorable, the federal reserve
iboard stating the activity of trade as'
unusual, while manufacturing and
transportation have, on the whole,
been well occupied Nevertheless the
continuous rise of prices and the dif
ficulties connected therewith seem to
be pointing to a reduction in buying '
power, which may produce lessened
activity in both manufacturing and re.
tailing. This, coupled with the uncer
tainties concerning the foreign trade
situation, have created an atmosphere
ol uncertainty in business circles
which extended to the financial com
jmunity and has operated to restrict
greater recovery in price."
GOVERNOR SPROUL'S
ADDRESS.
Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania is
la candidate for president He was one
of the governors who, at The Hermit
age In ogden canyon last summer, en
trrtained the assembled banqueters
with wit and humor. He is clever in
'coining striking sentences and deal
ing in the epigrammatic. He is a par.
jtlsan of partisans and sees through
glasses highly colored. In a speech to
day, he made this declaration:
I "The rape of the railroads was con
iceived in an unholy lust for power and
partisan advantage '
Governor Sproul should not be so ex
travagant in language. When the rail
roads were taken over, they were con
gested at every great terminal and in
distress every wher. They -wore breaK
ing down from coast to coast Within
30 days after they were in government
hands, the roads began to function
normally and they went through the
war period without collapse In the
meantime, nearly every electric road
Mn the United States all of which
were left in private control either

Will Governor Sproul tell us more
about this rape of the railroads?
Then Governor Sproul indulges in
this rich conceit:
' We must prepare not only to clsan
'up the governmental mess in which
we find ourselves, but we must lay our
plans for restoring our nation to the
position of respect which it one
held."
America, up to the time of the fall

Then Governor Sproul close his ap

"If we will como down out r,f the

That which has afflicted Auurlca,
and is referred to as a fool's paradise,
is not wholly American or peculiarly
American. It Is an upset world wide.
It is in France. In England, in Ger
many, in Italy, in Russia, in Japan.
It is the unrest, the discontent, the un
balance, the grief, the sorrow, the tur
moil, the pain of vast masses of peo
ple trying to find themselves after
four years of the mightiest clash and
disorganization that ever t re down
the supporting pillars of orderly government.
