The address ' olf "ex-president i Toft at Mbrristdwn, NJ., in jwbich he ccmraedded the course , pursued thus far by this govern ment in the solution of the dif flcult problems that haVe been ' percipitated by the European war was worthy of the man. It was an additional proof that he has the ability to rise above the level of partisanship and view the V issues dispassionately as. an A ' merkan citizen. It is'so easy, at a time like this, to seize on the uncertainties of the situation as a basis for political capital that it should always h rpinerabered to the credit of the Republican ex-President that he has "-ref rain ed in this instance at least, from pdoinfs so. Whether he will be able in the event of a re-entry inio politics next year, to resist the temptation to charge up to the Democratic party the commer cial conditions resulting from the upheaval abroad- must remain unsettled until the timehasconie, but that will be a crucial test. Mr. Taft'8 commendation, bas v ed as it is on no ulterior motive 1 and even at the sacrifice of some possibilities for gain, and bac ed ' by the prest'ge of his extensive experience, should serve to set ai rest the doubts that have, been aroused in some people by the in sistence with which"; the cbampi- C b00s cause an at, have ' i i 1 ' a 1 . 1 J 1 : soognt to snow tnat iuis goveru ment has shown favoritism in its dealings with the foreign pow e 8. These charges jand' eoqnter- ' charges have come from both , sides and by offsetting leach oth er have constituted, by heir very contradictoriness, their own ef- Qfective disproof. Advocates of the Teutonic cause have laid the ac cusation of discrimination at the door of this "rountry because it is exporting food and munitions oi war to the British Isles whereas Germany is unable to secure any of these shipments. These advo cates have overldoked the fact - ftthat the United States is not . re sponsible for the British domin ion of the seas, which has been maintained by that Nation through decades of vast expense, and that to place an embargo on these products now, with Eng ' . land in possession of the oceans, would bean act pf gross parti ' t w-nship though ft would have v ' been permissable at the outbreak of the war, before the dominion ofthespashai been established in actual warfare. Advocates of the cause of the Allies, on the other hand, have criticised thegovernmentbecause it did not protest the violation ; pi Beigian neutrality, because it did not lift it voice, against al leged atrocities, and some .have even intimated that the United States should take a.hand in the mad struggle on the ground that the Allies "are fighting our bat: ties for us."
