After the War What?

After the war what? What situation will confront the United States? That is what we are principally concerned over. It is undoubtedly true that the defeat of Germany and the destruction of her fleet, leaving Great Britain supreme upon the sea, would be a condition of maximum importance to this nation. Great Britain and Germany are the only consequental trade rivals of the United States. Both Great Britain and Germany must export the bulk of their products, consequently for years they have assiduously sought and developed new markets. England has looked forward to the acquisition of Germany's trade as her reward for victory in the titanic struggle she is now engaged in and if victory comes to her she is prepared to maintain the advantage gained by her undisputed sea power. That is certain. In victory her only trade rival would be the United States, which during the war has been effectively extending its trade with South American countries, the Eldorado of world's markets.

What trade Germany once had with South America is now enjoyed by the United States for the most part. t Since the time the German navy became a menace to England's sea power England has been content with the situation which has permitted the United States, with its powerful fleet, to maintain supremacy in the western hemisphere. This supremacy Great Britain could not dispute. The threat of the German fleet has required the presence of the bulk of England's fleet in European waters ; the threat of the German fleet has made England the staunch champion of the American Monroe Doctrine. But with the elimination of the German fleet, what is to be the pol

icy of Britain ? Is she to engage in a struggle for

the preservation of her empire only to have one of her greatest trade rivals, the United States, snatch the choicest fruits of possible victory? Roland G. Usher writing on "British sea power and South America" in Century, says :

"Tha aftermath of every great European war has found Great Britain utilizing the sea power for the extension of her dominion wherever pos

sible without the co-operation of an extensive military expedition. Without doubt all German

colonies will be in British hands before long, and

she will expect to retain the majority of them at the end of the war; moreover she will then be able to undertake aggression against others. We

must not forget, therefore, that victory will automatically restore to Great Britain the supremacy of the Western Hemisphere. Once more her fleet will take physical control of our waters and will be able to exercise in fact the true supremacy which we have had during the last decade and a half. Nor will there any longer be necessity for

generosity; with the defeat of her great rival, her imperative reasons for conciliating us will

have disappeared. She was anxious for us to hold the sovereignty of American waters because she was anxious to keep it out of the hands of Germany; once victorious she will prefer to retain it herself."

Suffrage Notes In This Column Will Appear Topics on the Equal SuIfrageCause.

(Continued From Saturday.) In Alabama a suffrage amendment Is before the legislature with very good chances of passing. The members, of the two houses are taking the new, good-humored attitude. Alabama has been a curiosity in its treatment of women. It is a penal offense there for a man to take a woman of ill repute to a restaurant where respectable women dine, to swear or use vile language in the presence. of a woman and to do other acts regarding a woman which are not forbidden in other states; yet Alabama women are forbidden to practice law or medicine or even to act as notaries public; while there is almost no higher education for woman provided. After the suffrage bill had been introduced, the Alabama political leaders, told the women they could have their choice of committees. The women polled the various "committees and finally asked that the bill be submitted to the Committee on Privileges and Elections. Dr. Shaw spoke before a joint session, the Alabama Legislature assembled to hear her on February 5. She was introduced by the Speaker of the House and her words were received most courteously.

Alabama's acceptance at suffrage is simplified by the recent passage of prohibition laws. The campaign is being run by the youngest iwoman to be head of a' state suffrage .organization, Mrs. Pattie Ruffner Jacobs, of Birmingham, Ala. The situation in Arkansas resembles that in West Virginia. WiV'-h littlp pressure from the women a suffrage amendment passed both houses; Then it was discovered that the Stat3 con

stitution forbade the presentation of

more than three Constitutional anendments to the voters, in one .year. There were three amendments ftfiead

of the women, so they must now wait

for the next Legislature.

On Feb. 2. an amendment was In

troduced in the North Carolina leVi

lature and later favorably-reported .by the committee. The House refused

to pass the bill, the vote being 68 to

39, which in that stronghold is ac counted an honorable defeat.

Editor Palladium: Allow me to. beg a few lines of space in your paper in regard to Women's rights, which we hear so much about in these days. In the first place what are women's rights? I know some men who preach morning, noon and night women's rights who do not allow their wives to call their soul their own. What do they consider women's rights? I believe women's rights begin at home. As to the franchise I believe it will come in due time and I think and believe our allwise and heavenly Father knows what Is best for us at all times and he can take care of us without advice from a few cranks. I thank God every day that I live in the Twentieth century. Some people preach the world is growing worse in sin and darkness. But I do not believe one word of it. It is a grand and beautiful place of God's own handiwork and he is ready and able to take care of it in his own way. Now one more word. I also thank God for our own President, Woodrow Wilson, in these times. For his wise counsel and God-fearing attitude toward the warring nations and also Secretary Bryan, that grand man, who by his good counsel helps out the president. A READER.
