BUYING TO BE CENTRALIZED

The National Foreign Trade Council, whose chairman is
James A. Farrell, president of the steel corporation, makes pub
lie an expression of feeling that a coordination of government
buying mot only is possible, but near at hand
To centralize government purchases and thus avoid compe-
tihOn between the numerous departments and bureaus IS the
object urged by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States
through it's war resolutions and through bulletins of its COM
mittee on CO. cooperation with the Council of National Defense.
The foreign trade council statement was drawn by Lewis f.
pierson, chairman Of the Irving National Bank of New York,
who is a member of the national chambers committee.
1t has, been assumed that the committee would if possible
convert the administration without resort to the kind of con-
troversy which Lord Northclife precipiatated in England in or
der to create a ministry of munitions. In view of the RESPONSE
hiIity of the men who compose the Foreign Trade Council, their
harboring hope for speedy action in that direction will be taken
hv business observers as indicating that the administration has
The project under favorable and advanced consideration.
The War Industries Board, like its creator, the Council of
Nationa! Defense, has advisory but no executive power. The
appointment of Daniel Willard as it's chairman will. also be ac-
cepted as a sign that real functions for that or a substitute body
VII be recommended forthwith to congress; for it has beer
manifest that MI. Willard enjoys the confidence of President
Wilson to an extraordinary degree and is likely to be assigned
only to duties of the highest Importance.
So iong as owners and managers renOunce prOfltcerlig ana
concur in taxes imposed to that end there will be no valid ground
Of envy npon which labor unions and their sympathizers can
strike for a share in the loot" The strength of the United
States in this war is the strength of the units which compose it.
Face 10 !ace with the necessity of stunning faHacy on pain Of
national extinction, we have pgeonholed for the moment some
Of the fantastic conceptions of the past with regard to competi-
ton.
Among the populr obsessions which must go into the dis
card is The idea that business done below cost can ever be in
the general interest. The industrial units which compose the
home forces of the United States will do their part if they are
permitted to make profits. Without profits they can neither
perform their work nor pay taxes-New York Commercial.

PROTECTING OUR SOLDIER BOYS

No finer men can be found in any army than our soldier
boys who are being drilled for service in Europe. Their friends
and relatives are amazed at the improvement a few weeks in
training camps make in their physical condition and appear
ance. Their loyalty and enthusiasm are undoubted and we
know that they will carry the Stars and Stripes to victory as
soon as they have a chance.
They work hard and they must have recreation. They
must not be led into temptation when off duty, and to prevent
this the war and navy departments have delegated. distinct
forms of service to the Y. M C. A., the Knights of Columbus and
the American Liberty association, which will look after recrea-
ton inside the camps, and to the Playground and Recreation
Association of America, which attends to social and recreation
al activities in the communities adjacent to the camps. AS
President Wilson says: "The spirit with which our soldiers
leave America and their efficiency on the battle fronts of Eu-
rope will be vitality affected by the character of the environ
ment surrounding our military training camps"
Camp followers have been the curse of armies since the
earliest war recorded in history. Alcohol and immortality are
more dangerous than shot and shell because they destroy the
men before they come in contact with the enemy. These evils
go together, and indulgence in liquor is almost invariably the
immediate predecessor of the other.
To deliver our young soldiers from these evils the war camp
community recreation fund appeals to the people of America
to give their dollars for each soldier and sailor, to provide rec
pier, healthier, better in morale and more efficient to combat.
To send forth the American force on the greatest crusade of
the ages with the song of democracy in it's heart and filled with
%invincible spirit, inspired by friendly contact with the people,
that's the aim of the war camp community recreation work,
to which John d. Rockefeller, Jr, is devoting his energies.
Money so subscribed will be spent in building community
club houses, securing the services of trained leaders skilled in
organization and recreation, and to provide moving picture and
theatrical performances and other social entertainments and
athletic games. In a word, the object is to substitute good for
evil.

Dir. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia univer-
silly. widely recommends that the university should devote its
energies to educating those students who are best fitted to re-
ceivc such instruction. Columbia is the largest school in the
world and its student body has become unwieldy. Universities
and colleges abound in this country, so limitation of numbers
at Columbia will deprive no one of the chance to completes his
stndies.
Recent disagreeable experiences with dislOyal professors
and students make it advisable for Columbia university to teach
Americanism to Americans and those sincerely DESTROYS of be-
coming citizens. A university has some rights which pupils
are bound to respect, and DR.. Buffers assertion of those rights
is a tonic for the educational system of this cOuntry.-Exchange.

Softness is likely to prolong the wal more than unprepar
edness and costs a heap more-Rochester Herald.
NEED OF ECONOMY AND SAVING

When we put a million and a half soldiers in the field, we
withdraw those men from productive enterprises. They do not
while they are actually in training or in service produce any
thing. They do, on the other hand, consume much. There is
nothing more expensive on earth than to support and maintain
a great army in the field, especially if it is on the firing line.
The attrition of supplies and everything else is tremendously
great when we have a fighting army in the field.
America is the one great remaining storehOuse in the world
of supplies and credit. We must maintain and make effective
as possible our own soldiers and the soldiers of those nations
who are fighting for us. We must therefore draw as little as
possible upon our common store of supplies and money. The
more we lessen our domestic demand, the more we can con
contribute to the support and effectiveness of our allied armies.
Economy is now a national duty, such a duty upon the peo-
pie at home as fighting is upon those Americans who are
brayely offering their lives for the honor of America and the
preservation of liberty and justice.

LABOR UNREST IN GERMANY

munition workers. The paper points out that persons having
merely agitation bills or lists for signature, etc, in their pos
session will be punished with Imprisonment or death as trait

shown in the case of all attempts of strikes or street demonstra-
tons.
