WHAT IS A FREE PORT?
From tn. Navy and Merchant Marine.

What is meant when we speak of a free port i'm the sense that the
term will be used in public discussions this winteri When the sub
)ect OF a free theater was being discussed in this country some years
ago a great many people were in favor it it because of their belief that
the seats would be as free as those At a public band concert. Whereas.
the meaning OF free used in this connection was that the theater
should be free from commercial OF other Influence that would trammel
its highest artistic development.
SO, In speaking of a free port: in the ense that it is used by the
tariff commission the reference is not to ports that + free in a
physical sense Tor the ships of all nations TO enter, o T. free from
wharfage or plotage T. other port dues: but free from the custom
,ouse regulations and restrictions, the inspection of goods and the
evylng OF duties particularly the latter.
The United States has never had a free port in this sense. Nor
IS 1T meant that certain ports shall be favored above others i'm the
sense that through them foreign goods may enter the country without
she payment of duty: The free port is. in fact, extra territorial. 1t
a port for transshipment of freights or for the receipt of raw
materials that are to go through some process of manufacture before
going out OF the country again; or. in the event that they finally enter
the country, to pay their duties at the time of such actual entry. The
free port is the development of the bonded warehouse to its highest
point of efficiency.

TO GET MORE LABOR
THE BIG PROBLEM
From tn. National, City Bank Bulletin.

our ability to get quickly and effective
~ into the war depends upon our ability
TO release men to the armies. and at the
same Tune turn more men upon the pro-
auction OF ships airplanes, heavy guns,
and ammunition. How can labor be found
TO give the increased output that Will
shorten the wal and save lives? There is
no longer any danger OF unemployment,
or substituting one elias Of labor for an
other, or reason for class jealousy. There
Is work for all.
There are three classes of labor in the
country that have not been fully drawn
upon. QD The movement to employ high
school boys on the farms was developed
lar enough last summer to show that
1nere are further possibilities in 1t. ~
me movement to utilize old men, who
have dropped out Of active employment.
IN ordinary times 1T is difficult or men
over ! years Of age who are thrown out
Or employment to find new places. The
employment bureau of the Employers as
sociation. of Chicago. finds employment
liee or charge for mfn OF this class. In
the month of August il placed 1893 of
mem IN permanent places. and in the
month OF September 1,60O of them. This
Is labor that without a special effort may
be lost.
But the big, potential supply OF labor,
iar surprising in quality and quantity

VINO IN the present social atmosphere will

put not producers. The movement to
bring these women into industry has
started. but it is not progressing fast
enough. 1t needs encouragement and or
sanization: 1t needs not only the personal
economic appeal but the patriotic appeal.
and the same social approval and pressure
mat applies to the enlistment of young
men in the army and navy.
A correspondent who writes to use very
earnestly on this subject puts the case

Pork and Victory.

From the Wall Street Journal
Pork one day last week reached ISL A
Iarrel. Compared with the price of 81. Is
In the month before warrbegan. 1t Is SEN
sational. This daring aviator. d%isdaining
to spiral" stands his machine ION its
tall and shoots upwards.
The price is even more disturbing than
the high level Of cotton. The reason is
largely the same. but its import is more
sinister, and calls for prompt measures
fact that the supply of meat is inadequate
to our military and civilian needs.
Food, we are told. will win the war. 1t
will be no chi!d's play to beat back the
u If it is accomplished the fighting
forces must be kept physically fit at all
times. That can be done only by an
abundance of energy giving food. That
food is wheat and meat.
Our wheat crop is short and the world
supply is IS per cent Of normal. A short
age of wheat calls for more meat. The
beef supply is short and the purchasers
Of meat have turned to pork. As even
there the supply is not up to requirements.
prices go skyward.
The obvious duty Is to increase the sup
ply of wheat and meat. The farmers nave
seeded a larger area to wheat and the
outcome now rests with nature. To in
crease the beef herds is in point OF time
like increasing the battleship fleet. But
hogs develop rapidly and increase faster
than compound interest. Therefore hopes
OF military success must rest upon them.
If 1t be necessary to depend upon pri-
vate enterprise. then call the farmers to
their duty. Tell them the need of the
hour and show them that they are sure
of a profit never before known. BY every
means encourage the raising Of hogs and
keeping them until of a mature age.
Change the usual commencement day ora
tory and tell the farm boys to hitch their
wagons. not to a star. but to the tail Of
a pig.
Not quite so classic, perhaps, but moro
to the point. Every security value in the
land rests upon victory and therefore
Upon pigs. Here then ia work for banks,
chambers of commerce and boards of
trade. n everyone who. directly or in
directly. can influence the farmers to
raise more pigs.

natural rights that the public may bene-
TIT without actual injustice to the :ndi-
Vidual. In "a wal between labor and CAPT
tai, the blows fall on the public. Compul-
sorry arbitration simply forces both sides
to keep the peace.
The argume that 1t is not constitu-
tional will not stand. The supreme court
in its decision in connection with the
Adamsoh railroad hour and wage law,
rendered in April, 1917. has said it is. The
majority decision in that case refers. in
connection with interstate commerce., to
the power OF congress. which 1t I'M
doubtedly possessed. to provide by appro-
pirate legislation for compulsory arbitra-
