THE TIMES. September 17. 1021 Th.it Information makes a pretty good showing in defense of the coal producer. Few will assert that he is making an unreasonable profit. But the general public would be pleased to see a statement from dealers who handle that ton of coal after it leaves the possession of Lna mine operator and before it get to the bias of the consumer.

MAN AND NATURE. Arthur Brisbane, whose brilliantly written editorial are read by millions, in commenting on how much faster a man can fly from Chicago to Washington than a carrier pigeon, concludes with this rather startling statement; "Man ia bess, nature his servant." The expression is a splendid example of a halftnith which needs analysis before full acceptance. Nature is boss of the fundamentals and when these laws are violated by man, man pays the bill. Nature permits man to harness its waters for the generation of power for a multiplicity of uses. But unless man uses nature's laws in arranging the harness and in use of the power, nature becomes boss and man its victim. The recent disaster to the great dirigible in England la substantial proof of this fact. Nature will permit man to navigate the air provided certain laws ar followed but when man seeks to trick nature by sacrificing certain laws insuring strength to take advantage of certain laws providing speed the result la disaster. Endless examples prove this point. It is well to realize the tremendous opportunities nature has proffered man for his own well being, but It is better to recognize that in the last tumble of the conflict nature lands on top and has the final word.

AMERICA'S "BIG FOUR." President Harding has selected a delegation to the limitation of armaments conference that baa been cordially approved by practically all Americans. Even the moet rabid critics of the administration admit that Messrs. Hughes, Lodge, Root aud Underwood are representative of the best Americanism. TUey will enter upon negctiatlons with representatives of the greater powers in no spirit of mean partisanship nor with any misconceptions born of a fatuous Idealism. They are not visionaries. They are practical men. Above all they are Americans. What this country may safely do in promoting thu progress cf the world with consideration for justice aud the national security is known to them and it will be their purpose to bring about understanding on the part of others which will benefit humanity. These niao will not attempt to boss the conference nor will they grovel befcrfi it. If anything of value to mankind shall issue from the conference beginning on Armistice da It will be because the agreements made have for their foundation a sincere purpose h.t the world henceforth shall be governed by righteous law. It ,is a stupendous task which the president has undertaken. The preliminary success which has been achieved warrants the universal hopefulness that civilization is about to take an imperatively necessary step. The personnel of the American delegation selected by President Harding assures that this country's historical devotion to righteousness and Justice will be maintained.

COST OF COAL PRODUCTION. Anthracite coal producers in the Schuylkill region of Pennsylvania have recently submitted to the Federal TTade Commission some facts concerning the relative costs of producing coal now and in 1914. The figures apply only to anthracite coal the kind ordinarily used in the heating stoves of households. The figures show that the total ccst of a ton at the- mine in 1921 is $5.64 as compared with $2.42 in 1914, or en increase of about 1J3 per cent. The cost of materials consumed in producing a ton of coal has advanced from 30 cents per ton to $1.04 per ton while the cost of miners' wages has Increased from 92 cents to $1.94. The other items of increase were chiefly la labor other than miners" wages, such as cost of tunneling, labor after the coal has been mined, taxes and administration. The figures also show that the ton of coal produced at a cost of $5.64 was sold for $5.71. or a profit cf 7 cents.

JAPAN'S ATTITUDE. A resident of Tokio writing in the Outlook throws some light on the attitude of Japau toward the armament limitation conference and suggests sone possible courses she may pursue. Since Japan will occupy a key position in the conference what he says is worth noting and keeping in mind. No Big Bertha bombshell he says, ever creater greater consternation than did President Harding's Invitation, coupled with an out line of the subjects to be discussed. "Japan feels that she will virtually be called upon to place on the table her plans for the future in respect to'siberia. China and elsewhere.'" he goes on. This, of course, she does not wish to do. The writer avers that Japan believes England, her ally. hs tricked her that while the voice may be Harding's, the hand is England's. This assumption shows that the situation is highly disturbing to the Nipponese. While the authcrities are guarded in their utterances, the undercurrent cf resentment at the turn affairs have taken is too strong not to be noticeable, says the writer. Japan recognizes that she must play the game according to the new world morality or find herself an outcast. The condition thus portrayed shows where the forthcoming conference will meet with obstruction, possibly. Japan cannot well afford to assume a solitary position In conflict with the other leading notions of the world. At the same time she may be stubbornly averse to laying her cards on the table and agreeing to go along with the other nations in a policy that may be mapped out. Unquestionably Japan needs relief through armament limitation but such a course may conflict with the policy she has in mind, though not revealed. The fright exhibited over th situation Is evidence that it Is not to her liking to submit her interests U a council of the nations. As an alternative, because she fears to take any other course, she may "go along," but if she does, it will not be willingly, If the opinions of the writer are well founded.
