TREASURY Secretary John W. Snow did his best to sound serious over the
weekend about the fault lines in the world economy. He called on China
to stop pegging its currency to the dollar, a reform intended to allow
the Chinese currency to rise, easing the flood of cheap exports that
contributes to the record U.S. trade deficit. At the same time, Mr.
Snow promised cuts in the U.S. budget deficit, which would reduce the
nation's consumption, including the consumption of imports; Japan and
the European Union were urged to promote growth, which would suck in
U.S. exports. All of these reforms are intended to bring the nation's
trade deficit back toward balance. If they fail, markets may cut the
trade deficit in their own blunt way -- via a precipitous collapse of
the dollar.

When it comes to judicial activism, conservative judges are no better -
and no worse - than liberal ones.
