q II the risk Of being charged with monotonous reera-

problem upon solution Of which depend human liberty
and true progress, Is,
SHIPSi
1t is apparent TO even the duest that regardless Of
what we raise Of men, money, food and munitions
unless raise the necessary ships, will be Of little
account, and the great cause must fail.
This being true a. is the duty Of government TO put
down. promptly and decisively anything that interferes
with our production Of ships at the earliest possible
moment That should apply to Wilmington and to every
shipbuilding community
We must FIRST refuse to waste hour Of valuable time
hope that Germany is going to crack politically or
that she can be starved. We must not be at all in
huenced by victories in italy, Russia, the
Balkans Africa Flanders. Nothing should be per-
mitted to impair our devotion to the business Of turning
out as many ships possible, as soon as possible.
Into the construction OF ships enter labor capital
metal lumber and transportation.
We have time 70 temporize with differences between
organized labor and organized capital Government has
at command capital with which build ships It's hold
upon labor is more dubious II concern-mning, lum-
Der or transportaonhas differences with its en-
poyes that embarrass shipbuldng and is not content
with reasonable profits government should promptly step
in and MAKE THOSE EMPLOYEES ITS OWN.
War pronteerng that eopardizes the national interests
IS in no case TO be tolerated Where the between
extraordinary profits and fair wages government should
act without bestancy or mercy.
Governmental treatment OF labor matters in general
may be a problem that's open 20 extended discussion
But this nation cannot AFFORD unrest" or disturbance
in any industry in the turning out Of ships.
Where our all-val ship problem is involved, govern
ment must use its fst for Uncle SAM owhom suffering
Europe looks for rescue, neither wade swim the
Atlantic and he surely has to set just soon
as he can develop the ability.

Spirit of the Delmarvia Press

face to face. and to seek its remedy re-
gardless OF the solutions effect upon
the tax rate This question concerns
the salary Of the public school teach
ers.
Their salaries have not kept pace
with the rise in prices Of the commodi-
ties that they necessarily must buy.
Board is 90 10 100 per cent. higher than
1t was few years ago, and IS prac-
tically impossible to get in many
places. Clothing, transportation, etc.
have advanced accordingly. The ex-
pense Of securing an education under
the much stricter laws governing the
requirements for teachers has increased
proportionately.
1t is a generally accepted and lndis-
putable fact that no class Of persons
render greater service for less money
than the public school teachers. The
public has in the past been content to
underpay the teachers while being able
to secure them at the prices offered,
the moe is now on the other foot.
School teachers by the score are de-
sorting the schoolroom for the busy
marts Of trade. and are making far
more money as stenographers and
bookkeepers than they possibly could
at teaching
