TI1H apiiirciit ending of (lie British strike is typii-ally British. Jolm Hull lias a genius for somehow muddling through. Two distinct crises were met, each apparently insoluble, and both were successfully bridged ut the last moinen- Probably the phlegmatic, but essentially sane Anglo Suxbn tem perament lies at the bottom of it. Perhaps Lloyd George luck was u contribuling factor. But with the annoimceinent of J. II. Thomas that the railway strike is off, Ihe buck of any immediate industrial revolution is unquestionably broken. For next to Henderson, Thomas is undoubtedly Ihe foremost labor leader in Kugland today. If a labor government should even tually be formed, and this eventuality is still possible, he would necessarily be a controlling factor. Therefore, his refusal to join the miners walk-out, means the end of any general labor offensive. The crisis in England's coal industry closely resembles the crisis in the railway industry of America. During the war the coal mines were under government control; in the stress of the emergency, wages were increased throughout the industry, and the losses were absorbed by the national treasury. , Hut with Ihe elimination of government control, the mines went back to a disordered business situation, with only their own revenues to rely upon. As a result, whereas, the larger and more prosperous mines were still able to maintain war standards, the smaller and less prosperous mines were not. So as a business proposition, the smaller mines had to reduce wages to exist, and it was this reduction that pre cipitated the trouble. What the miners demanded was essentially a return to govern ment aid, that is they insisted on a pooling of mine profits, so that the weaker properties could lie maintained from the excess profits of the larger ones. The mine owners refused to do this and the govern ment refused to compel them. "What the outcome will be is still problematical. But if John Bull runs true to form, not only will an industrial revolution be perma nently avoided, but a compromise effected whereby both parties to the dispute will gain something, and the wage scale raised to allow all mine workers to decenllv earrv on. This ability to muddle through, to progress bv evolution rather than revolution, to somehow reform the national machinerv without ii'eaking it, has been the most conspicuous characteristic of British polities' for many years. "Whereas in n Latin countrv. blood would uive been shed and a complete smash-up endured, with a new and bet ter system perhaps built upon the ruins of tho old. Great Britain has consistently sidestepped every eruption, and attained the same result through peaceful change- It's a great and Valuable trait. Sonic political students alrendv sen the break-up of the British empire. Sooner or later most empires have broken, and no doubt the British Kmpire. as at present, const!. tilled, is not eternal. Biit as long as this essential sanity, this inbred aversion to revolutionary dramatics holds firm, the dissolution will be so gradual as to scarcely be noticed. There is reason to believe that lor many decades yet canny old John Bull will continue in the future as he has in the past, to successfully muddle through. Wu RippHngRhomostli THE MENACE. npIIE ROAD is dark with reckless gents whose'' cheap' cars X swiftly pass, and they have less than fifty cents when they have paid for gas. They got their cars where junk is sold by some unmoral man; they got their cars, to have and hold, on the installment plan. And if they smashed my limousine, dest roved Ms priceless hood, they could not raise a silver bean to make 'the damage good. And if perchance they ran me down, and broke my costly spine, they could not raise a single crown to pav a claim of nunc. Along the road their boats are hurled, for wrecks they do not care; they have no assets in the world, Ihe damage to re pair. Oh, in the future or beyond, on some bright dav afar, tho man must give ample bond who hopes to drive a car He'll have lo show he can advance the roubles from his keg to pnv the bill it he should chance to break some fellow's leg. He'll have to show he has the cush, the kopecks in a can, to pav me, if with maudlin rush ho spoils my new sedan. The paupers scorch along 111. lull, and by ,, virgin wood ; and if they wreck or maim or kill they can make nothing good. How Much Do You Know? 1 What were mammoths?
