HuRopa.s NRwLABoR RESERVE

James A. Emery, counsel to the
National Metal Trades Association,
addressing that organizations an
nual meeting, stated in a forceful
paragraph the conditions that will
face this country, in the worlds in
dustrial competition, after the war:
How shall we meet armies trans
formed into Industrial organizations.

OF capacity, women workers trained
in large numbers to special dexterity
and excellence, and management
trained under the pressure OF war ana
backed by a people drilled In self
sacrifice and self-denial to exercise
in the contest OF peace the virtues
of war? Are we to meet this with
high wages costs, short hours, and
low efficiency while they attack us
armed with low wage costs. long
hours, and high efflciency7S
Under these conditions you can
wen AFFORD to raise wages to any
level of increasing productive capac-
ity. but you cannot shorten hours
without making more difficult and
meet the economic readjustment that
is as Inevitable as peace.
There is something sinister in one
suggestion of Mr.. Emery. Europe
Is training its women into highly
skilled artisans. II is raising a new
industrial army to take the place Of
the one that has been drawn away I'd
the battlefield. Presently we shall
have to face the competition Of a
Europe in which millions Of men will
have been raised from the status OF
common laborers to that Of highly
Skilled artisans; in which other mil.
lions of women win have beer

LAWFUL SUBMARINE ACTS

That a British merchant vessel,
the Industry, has been sunk while
our demands upon Berlin are pend
ing is not vital issue. 1t is not an
issue that she was unarmed. It is
not an issue that she was bound for
an American port. But, under the
circumstances of her sinking, it
would not be an issue if she had car
ried Americans. The only thing
which could be an issue would be
whether she were sunk properly or
improperly.
Though the Industry was a Brit
Ssh vessel and though she may have
had on board only British citizens,
the German submarine did find il
possible to sink her properly, giving
everybody on board time to quit the
ship. That is the point. 1t is the
The Washington times., 1916-04-29

point which applies to every sinking
Of a ship belonging to belligerent
power and even to some sinkings Of
neutral ships; for IL is true that neu-
trail ships, manned by neutral and
noncombatant crews, may be law
fully sunk II they are engaged in
unlawful trade and il it is not pos
sible for the captor to dispose Of
them otherwise without putting his
own safety in jeopardy.
IL the submarines can exercise
humanity in half a dozen instances
or only in a single Instance they can,
IL they will, do SO In all instances,
refraining, as all other war vessels
refrain, from sending a merchant
ship to the bottom unless it is pos
sible to remove the crew and pas
sengers to a place Of safety.
That is all we have ever expected
of the German government in de-
handing that 1t modify and civilize
its submarine policy. That is all the
German government has to do to
satisfy us on this particular score
and to assume the continuance Of our
friendly relations. And we have not
the slightest doubt that is what Ger
many is going to do-and this time,
we rather think, she will live up to
it.

ECONOMICS OF A CIVIL PENSION

Until the world grows a good
deal more idealistic and altruistic
than it is now, there will be just
one argument capable of winning
Congress and the country to estab-
lishment Of pensions for Govern
ment civil employees. That is the
argument that it would be good
business; that it would save money,
rather than cost money.
Before the House Committee on
Reform in the Civil Service this ar
gument was advanced yesterday, in
= telling fashion, by more than one
Of the speakers. There is no doubt,
among men who know the inward
ness of civil service problems, that .
proper system Of retirements and
pensions would be a positive econ
omy to the Government. Call them
annuities, if you please; the name
isn't material. The point is that, for
both business and humanitarian rea-
sons, it should be possible to get
people out of the service by the time
their efficiency is considerably i'm
paired; and this can only be done if
provision is made to care for them.
Other countries have long since
adopted this method of keeping their
civil service up to the mark: great
and smaH corporations have done it;
railroads, manufacturing industries,
mercantile establishments have
found the plan useful; States and
cities have provided retirement and
annuities for teachers, policemen,
firemen, and other workers in their
community service. 1t is past I'M
Outstanding that the United States
Government should so long have
been deaf to the argument and the
reason in support Of the program.
For, more than a decade, commit.
tees in Senate and House have been
giving a good deal of attention to
this question:; and it is an impress
sive fact that practically every mem
Der Of Congress who has taken the
trouble to inform himself has beer
converted to the civil pension idea
Men who enter upon such an inquiry
with no preconceptions, and men who
start with profound prejudice
against all civil pensions, come out
by the same route: they learn, il
they will only open their minds t.
incontrovertible facts, that the re
tirement and annuity plan stands fol
better administration Of the Govern
ment, greater self-respect for thu
civil service people, more human
tartan dealings with them, and &C
tual saving for the Government.

THREATS OF the nYPnRNATES
TO CONGRESS MEMBERS

Inc AMERICAN people snoulu not
and will not misunderstood the
malignant purpose and the evil bust
ness Of the hyphenate agencies
which have been flooding Congress
with tens Of thousands Of kilograms
regarding President Wilson's subma-
rine demands.
These messages to Congress are
declared by the senders to be appeals
in behalf Of peace. They are not for
peace, and those who send them
know they are not. They are not for
neutrality, and those who send them
know they are not. They are not for
the American nation, and those who
send them know they are not. And
they are not appeals; they are not
meant to be appeals. They are in
tended to be threats and they are
threats.
What these hyphenate agencies
are trying to do is to terrorize Con-
gress into spineless and shameless
acceptance Of the Won Tirpitz doc
trine that neutral, noncombatant,
defenseless men, women, and babes
may be slaughtered wherever they
are found afloat by a Submarine.
Those kilograms seek to coerce
Congress into agreeing to the Berlin
policy and program; seek to coerce
Congress into declaring that the
President Of the United States must
not interfere in behalf Of our own
people; seek to coerce Congress into
preventing the United States Gov
eminent from protecting American
citizens, no matter what crimes and
atrocities are committed against
them by the submarines.
That's what the hyphenate ,agen-
cies really mean when they declare
they are striving to preserve peace
They want the submarines to be free
to slaughter American citizens-ir
the ships of neutral countries as wei
as in the ships of belligerent coun'
tries; in unarmed ships as well as II
armed ships. They want the subma
rines to be free to defy the SOW
ereignty of the United States. The,
want Congress to sanction these
things as they sanction them.
They make no secret of what they
are going to do if members Of Con
gress don't license the submarines I,
slaughter of American citizens anc
violation of American sovereignty
they boldly and arrogantlY proclaim
it. They declare to members O.
Congress, "You sign the death war
rants Of American voyagers for sub
marine commanders to execute OIL
the high seas, or we will sign you
political death warrants and execut,
them at the polls"
That's the plain, brutal PROPOSE
ton.
But these hyphenate bargainer
for the assassination of American
citizens under the seal and approve
of the United States Government
haven't the last say in this matter
The American people have some
thing to say about it, and they ar
going to say 1t.
We shall have a showdown o.
this thing. The hyphenate agencie
of submarine murder think they ar
going to make it difficult for me
who stand for Americanism to b
elected to national office. But tn
American people are going to max
it impossible for candidates VIII
stand for anything else to be electe,
Let not only the hyphenate ager
, cies of submarine murder, but tn
candidates who want to strike blood
bargains with them, put that in thei

MoBlLIzINa OUR AGRICULTURE

For its effect in time OF peace as
well as of war, the movement for a
mobilization Of the agricultural re-
sources Of the country, and their
more efficient coordination with the
financial resources, is one Of large
Importance. A gathering Of leading
men, from many walks Of life, has
formed the National Agricultural
Society, Of which James Wilson, for
mer Secretary Of Agriculture. Is
president.
The purpose Of the organization,
It is announced, will be the solution
of the problem of rural credits; to
cooperate with legislatures in Sc
curing uniform agricultural legisla-
ton; to interest people in congested
centers in farming and its oppor-
tunities; to develop better marketing
methods, and to promote co-opera-
ton among farmers.
Only in very recent years has
there been even a real beginning in
the direction Of properly understand
ing the great Importance Of these
problems. The marketing question
is now recognized as one Of the
greatest before the country, or in
deed the world, embracing as it does
the whole set of problems concerned
with getting the product from the
grower to the user. Somewhere,
mixed up in the lost motion Of this
complex and costly operation, is the
explanation of excessive living rates.
More intimately related to this
marketing question than is yet fully
realized, is that Of rural credits. Ag-
ricultural production is the. very
basis of all national wealth, because
the community could not, live with
out the primary products OF it's soil.
Yet industry; transportation, almost
every other interest, manages some
how to be more effectively and init
mately hooked up with the instru-
mentalities Of finance, than is agri-
culture. Financing the farm is diff
ferent from financing other business,
because the farmer cannot turn over
his capital SO fast as do other pro-
ducers. The merchant and the man
ufacturer turn over their capital al
a rate many times more rapid thar
the farmer. They need a different
sort of money accommodations. The
farmer ought to have the sort that
is adapted to his particular business
and he doesn't get it by any means
all the time.
1t is notorious that the profits Of
farming are very small; the wage
allowance to the farmer himself has
to be calculated at almost vanish
ing figure if he is to be credited
with earning fair return on hi
capital.
Better understanding Of thes,
questions, and then effective meas
ures to solve them, are much needed
The new National Agricultural So
ciety numbers among its founders ;
group of men who will bring vision
and imagination and grasp to thi
study. Doubtless it will co-operat,
with the Department Of Agriculture
which has been working along sim
liar lines. 1t deserves the indorse
ment of everybody interested in pro
noting national efficiency and eco
nomic independence.

There is difference between farm
woodland and the farm wood lot. Farm
woodland is farm land which has not
yet been cleared. Farm wood lot is a
term which might best be used to
mean a part Of a farm permanently
devoted to timber production. under
sound plan Of farm management
The size and the location Of the wood
lot will depend upon various consid-
erations, of which the most important
are the home needs of the farm, the
character of the land and the present
and prospective market for materials
from the wood lot.
