WAR AND SOCIAL PROBLEMS
More Efficiency and Loyalty Urged b,
National Conference Members.

National Conference @emSers.
The great war and its social prob
lens overshadowed every other top!
on the Pittsburgh program Of the Ma
tional Conference of Social Work T.
1900 men and women who had com.
together from many states to ex"ha -
ideas and receive fresh inspiration 10
their social service work there wn
brought home the thought OF the ne
cessity OF doing their present WORK
more skillfully. more economically an
more wisely.
To cripple. through lack of men an,
money, the social work which has hee,-
pamstakingly developed through Ion,
years Of struggle. thinking people re
alize is truly shortsighted.
The committee on resolutions. Hast
ings II. Hart. Thomas b. Mayman and
Robert W. Kelso. departing from the
usual policy of the conference. made
the following recommendations. which
we're heartily adopted:
1.-THE National Conference Of Socia'
Work places on record. In behalf OF
the great majority OF its 1900 mem
bers, their intense loyalty and their
purpose to support the president and
the government Of the United States
in the prosecution of this war in the
interest of liberty and democracy.
THE obligation to make every neces
sary sacrifice rests with double weight
upon the organizations for social wei
fare. We therefore commend the PIT
triotisn OF those social organizations
which are lending their most efficient
workers for the national service In the
government departments. the nationa
Red Cross. the movement for con
serving health and, morals in the army
and navy by wholesome recreation and
by eliminating temptations to intcm
perance and vice.
ION the other hand, we would en-
phasize the insistence Of the presiden
o. the United States as to the neces
sity for conserving those agencies
which operate to maintain public. NOR
ais, public health and the producin.
forces OF the community. We there
fore urge the importance OF maintain
ing the full force and efficiency OF th'
agencies for social work and OF se
curing for all Of them adequate sup
port III view Of the new and pressln,
demands created by the war. especial
ly those agencies which make for tn
preservation and improvement Of pub
lie health and family life, the protec
tiOn Of motherhood and the preserva
ton Of children from the destructiv
and demoralizing influences Of war.
I'VE urge the maintenance through
out the war Of all our standards TO
the protection of industrial employees
especially women and children. Tn
lending Of social workers for the ma
honal service should not include .
large a number as to cripple the ef
fectiveness Of these vital agencies
which are among the most essentia

IN PATAGONIA

the curious all they would like to know about the desolate land in which he walked alone This seasoned traveller too CTS would not be interested in what had become commonplace to him. n his narrative of the voyage of the Bea- gle, Darwin says: "In calling up images of the past find the plains of Patago- mia frequently scrosA before my eyes," and it is quickly seen that the immense wastes of the far south had much the same fascination for him that the im- mense wastes of the far west have for many today. There is something in the Mojave desert, as there is in the sage brush plains of Utah and Nevada, that holds some people as blooming prairie or an emerald pampas holds others. Hud- son felt, in Patagonia, much as do those who awaken at sunrise on a Colorado plateau his dominant impression being one of complete freedom in contempla- tiou. "One gazes," he writes, lon the prospect as on the sea, for it stretches away sealike, without change, into in finitude, but without the sparkle of water, the changes of hue which shad- ows and sunlight and nearness and dis tance, give the motion of waves, and white flash of foam. It has a look of antiquity, of desolation, of eternal peace, of a desert that has been desert from of old, and will continue desert for ever" One has such an impression, also, in the far northland of Canada, up in the silences of the Hudson bay region, where the streams flow toward the Arctic ocean, where there IS no song of bird, where the feet of the animals are cush- toned. And yet, even where the earth curves sharply toward the north pole, neither in imagination nor in actual ex- perience, if books may be trusted, does one feel so far away rom everything as in Patagonia.
 It would seem that there is still oppor- tunity for someone possessed of the jour nalistic faculty, someone like Henry M. Stanley, for instance. to visit Patago- mia, explore 1t thoroughly, and write about it less like the naturalist, and more like the traveller who Is in sylnb b pathy with those who remain at homeal but who like to read of travels in strangS lands. S
