The Times In discussing the casualties during 'the war calls upon the allied governments to compel the Germans to treat the prisoners in their hands without "Now for the first tlmeVR says, "we begin to learn officially at how great a cost the victory has been won.

Nov. 21. Creation of an international tariff commission ' was urged as a step toward the solution of foreign trade questions In a .statement Issued here today by the committee on reconstruction of the Social Demo cratic league of America. This com mission, the committee asserted. "should establish and maintain a re ciprocal system of tariffs,, based upon the maintenance. of living standards ror wage woraers in importing ana exporting countries, as well as uni form prices for home and foreign markets." The step, It was explained by Wll Ham English Walling, secretary of the league,, would be a middle path be tween the, extremes of free trade, which he declared would be "unfair" to disorganised cekm tries' Ilka Russia and China. ana absolute protection, which he predicted would ""Keep in ternational trade at a minimum and lead to commercial wan." While condemning absolute protec tionlem ' as a system under- which home consumers are compelled to pay a "high price subsidy so as to enable the manufacturer to export the same commodity and sell It at a much lower price In the foreign market,' the com mlttee declared national free trade was unthinkable, because it would prevent the nation from Joining In an International system of tariff treaties as long as Important nations main- talned tariffs. -THRONGS PAY H0MAGE TO QUEEN WILHELMINA e The Hague, Monday, Nov.
