Jordan, chancellor of Stanford univer'
sity, is in Portland, having been scneG
uled to deliver several addresses. WINE
an advocate of peace, believe there are
times when war cannot be honorably
avoided. In an interview he declared,
on the other hand, that there Is no need
at present, or at any time IN the future,
for n hysterical campaign to enlarge the
army and the navy of the United states
He contended that with economy in eX,
penditures efficiency in operation ana
conservation of resources the unlteu
States navy, on its present basis or Or
gani2ation, is sufficient
"Why, we have Il bigger navy now
than any other country, excepting Eng
land, he said, "and the danger OF our
going to war with England il remote: ~
''But what about our coast de-
fenses2" someone asked him. ..
"Our coast is not threatened, is it?''
he counter.questioned.
"But suppose it would be''

repeated it emphatically, impressively

DR.. Jordan paid n high tribute to the
spirit displayed by the former residents
of Germany now living in the Uniteo
States.

added quickly.
He did not pretend though, to min
imize the situation growing out Of tn,
Lusitania disaster, yet he expressed thu
hope and belief that it would not leaC

"The worst that can come out of it, ;
he said, "is for us to cut off diplOmati,

American Workers Lose
Three Quarter Billion

Washington, d. c., June 4,-Three'
quarters Of billion dollars, at Il very
conservative estimate, is the annual
money tax levied by ill-health upon
wage workers in the United States in
the form of lost wages and expenses Of
sickness The greater part Of this gi'
gantic tax falls upon those workers who
are least able to afford it, since sick
ness has been found to be much more
prevalent among lowpaid workers than
among those whose incomes are suffi.
cient to provide sanitary housing, ade'
auate food and favorable surroundings
in the home and in the place Of work.
These conclusions are among those
given in report on sickness insurance
to the federal commission on industrial
relations which was prepared in cooper.
alton with the United States public
health service. The report was prepared
by Surgeon b. $. Warren, Of the public
health service who was detailed as san.
itary advisor to the commission and Ed
gar Sydenstrcker, member of the
commission IS staff.
The estimate given above is based on
careful examination of the sick rec
ords Of nearly a million workers in this
country and is found to correspond very
closely to the figures afforded by the
sick records for long period of years
of about twenty.siX million workers in
Germany and Great Britain. 1t includes,
the report points out, merely the loss of
wages during illness and the expense Of
medical attention, and does not take in
to consideration the impairment Of the
workers efficiency and vigor, or the
cost of illness 0 memJCrs of his family.
The average wage'earner in the
United States loses approximately nine
days every year on account Of sickness,
much of which is prcventable, states
the report. The real significance Of
these conclusions lies in the fact, as
shown by statistics from large num-
Der Of governmental and other inyesti-
cations, that fully one.half Of the wage
eurncrs in this country do not receive
incomes sufficient to maintain health
ful conditions Of living. All experience
in the treatment Of disease and in the
study Of the economic conditions Of sick
persons agree that poverty and sick
ness go hand in hand the report says.
and that it is among these low paid
workers and their families that the
highest morbidity rate is found to pre-.
vail Sickness has been found to be
one Of the principal causes of unem.
ploymcnt and principal factor in re-
cruiting the army Of uestitutc and de
| pendant persons, The cost to the in
dustrics Of the country resulting from
the ill.hcNlth Of employees cannot be es
timotcd, asserts the report, nor is it pos
siblc to indicate the tremendous cost tC
the nation.
