 David Lloyd-George, chancellor of the exchequer, made this declaration recently the annual meeting o the National Liberal club The land question has been Lloyd Georges hobby and the conservatives have accused him of being ambitious to introduce the Henry George system of taxation in Great Britain.
 The unofficial commission MT.

MT. Loyd-George said in his speech tonight that the results achieved by the commission had been startling
 Speaking of the agricultural laborers the chan celor said:
 When these reports published they will prove cOnclusvey that there hundreds of thou sands, if not millions of men, women and children living under conditions with regard to wages, hous- ing and the rest of labor conditions, which ought make this great empire hang its head with shame. They wll prove by unchallenged facts that ths rich country does provide decent homes for the laborers engaged in occupation vital to our very existence"

Turkeys Fate Warning to Europe

 A more dismal failure live up a reputation than has been shown by the beaten and bedraggled Turks could hardly be. Whipped a finish by the allies, spite their poor military repute and Turkeys old fame for military prowess, the humiia- tion Of the Porte has been such as almost win popular sympathy
 Lack of preparation for this war has been alleged a Turkeys defeat There $ more than little wisdom in the suggestion of Dr. David Starr Jordan that it's downfall has been due to too much preparation. Indeed Turkey is oninous warning the other European nations that struggling under back breaking military loads. Turkeys debt of half a billion dollars and her necessity of keeping fighting edge maintain her political integrty has sapped both the moral and financial stamina of the country.
 Instead of being engaged in wholesome productive activities. the Turks have been dIing garrisons while the country being blood sucked to pay the bills As Dr. Jordan well says nations safety depends upon something besides a prepared" army He quotes Professor Sumner of Yale having once said, There is readiness for The notion calls for ending sacrifice.

The Impending Firemen's Strike

The threatened strike of 35,OOo fremen on east ern roads will probably a1erted according to the dispatches last Saturday though a strike had been voted rather, the firemen had voted to strike in case their representatives could reach agree ment with the railroad managers and herein was anomalous situation.
 The firemen had proposed arbitration under the Erdman act. The railroads admitting that there justification dissatisfaction with the existing wage scale proposed arbitration by a board con ssting representatives the firemen representa- tives of the roads d body technical experts representing the public whose in the contro- versy great that of either the roads or the firemen.
 The roads objected to arbitration under the Erd- man act which is a good deal like tossing coin Though the arbitration board consists of three it is inevitable that controversy should be decided by a single and his decision is apt to represent his personal feeling rather than his judgment The firenen consented to another form of arbitra- tion though just what form is not explained in the dispatches.
 The roads had prepared for a stern fight and it probably that fact that caused the fremen to recede There powerful circumstances against them. One that they entering upon the struggle without public sympathy which men usually have when they go strike. The other was the certainty that the firemen would have the support of the engineers whose controversy with roads had been satisfactorily settled by such method arbitration the roads had proposed to the firemen
 The roads had stated the public that in the fremen went out their places would be taken by who though specially trained to the work, perform satisfactorily under the di recton the engineers. The inference, of course, that the engineers had consented such arrangement In these circumstances there could be little prospect the success of the strike The situation in this has directed attention to the inadequacy of the Erdman act. That act in tended for the adjustment of controversies on single road. Here ffty-four roads involved The entire country concerned. The task plainly too momentous to be undertaken by a, single man. Already the suggestion has been made for the amendment of the act provide for the appointment of boards of varying sizes according O the magnitude issue.
