Labor Injunctions.

Another tendency is the growing op-
position to labor injunctions, which
class labor power as property. The
Congress of the United States has voiced
this opposition in amendments to the
antitrust laws. Judicial interpreta-
tions of the term property in the four
teenth amendment to the federal Con-
stitution are losing their force What

has been used to thwart the enactment
of social legislation, but courts have
failed to check the swelling tide of

scious of the part 1t has played in the
tendencies above referred to and this
consciousness will be an inspiration to
greater effort during the coming year"

.JAPAN'S LOAN To CHINA
SOON TO Be AVAILABLE
$50, 900, 1000 Required for Pressing
Financial Relief Will Be Pro-
vided at Early Date.

Japan's proposed s3o,ooo,oo0 loan to
China is expected by the Japanese en-
bassy here to go through almost imme-
diately. 1t is said that China's flnan-
cial needs are most pressing and that
further delay might prove serious for
the new government.
Japanese f1nanciers, 1t is believed,
will be entirely responsible for the
loan. though Great Britain. France and
Russia may be asked to participate for
diplomatic reasons. The financial
stringency which up to now has handi-
capped Japan in financial negotiations
Is thought to have passed with the
large profits made on war munitions.
View Of japanese Statesmen.
Japanese statesmen are said to feel
that Japan must sooner or later make
itself responsible for Chinese financial
stability and that the sooner 1t is done
the more certain will be the guarantee
of peaceful conditions In that country.
The Japanese negotiations follow
close upon an unsuccessful attempt to
interest American financiers In Chi
nese loan. The State Department re-
cenlIy uSeu us Sood ollceS dI Siiihh o
request to bring the two parties to-
gether, but after protracted negotia-
tions the loan fell through. The Chi
nese Indicated they were willing to Of
fer any kind Of security the Americans
desired. but the latter are said to have
felt they could invest to better advan-
tage in the many loans offered in
Europe.
Increase in Investments.
Japan's financial interests in China
have been increasing of late, though
rather tn the form of Investments than
in loans to the government.
Sharing with the other powers in the
Boxer indemnity, Japanese bankers
made a small investment in the Kirtn
railroad a much larger one in the
mines. and took their share
of the one-hundred-and enty-fve-
dollar reorganization loan from
which the American bankers withdrew
on President Wilson's declaration that
he thought 1t interfered with China's
integrity.

Part Of National Preparedness.
"a system of national preparedness
that does not include recognition of
this frightful and preventable wastage
is the preparedness urged by big busi-
ness. A morality that ignores these
facts and condemns war Is based on
meaningless phrases.
Another present-day tendency is the
acceptance of organized labor's posi-
ton on immigration restriction. Dur
ing the past year the acid test Of expe-
rience has verified the claim OF trade
unions that American institutions can
not assimilate nor American living
standards resist the food tides of in
duced immigration that has been the
policy Of captains Of industry. Infor-
nation and reports received by the Of
f1cers Of the American Federation of
Labor cleary demonstrate the fact
that a labor famine exists only where
employers still demand long hours at
low wages. and where they ignore the
living standards set by the workers.
Another element among employers
who talk of the scarcity of labor do so
to entice sufficient number of idle
workers to their factory gates as a
menace to those employed and who are
liable to demand better conditions.
These employers oppose restriction Of
immigration because restriction will
defeat their policy of having two or
more men for every ioh

ease OF one 10 the manner born - or
that nature which seemed in its varied

mystery Of democracy. that its richest
fruits spring up out Of soils which no

amidst which they are the least ex-
pected. This is a place alike OF
mystery and of reinsurance.
1t is likely that in society ordered
otherwise than our own Lincoln could
not have found himself or the path of
fame and power upon which he walked
serenely to his death. In this place it
is right that we should remind our
selves of the solid and striking facts
upon which our faith in democracy is
founded. Many another man besides

We would like to think Of men like
Lincoln and Washington as typical
