Perusal of the newspapers which
comm ent upon the Presidents note to
Germany furnished real proof of the
statement that politics is adjourned"
Even the Hartford "Courant', which
from time to time vents its spleen
against various branches of the Ad-
ministration, endorses the Presidents
message in its editorial columns to-
day. (This will no doubt cause great
satisfaction in Washington). Strange
as it may seem, the only complaints
against the attitude of Mr.. Wilson
emanate from Senator Lodge and
Congressman Foss. Of course it is
merely incidental that the former is
republican leader of the upper house
and that the latter is chairman of
the republican congressional commit
tee. But this Is a remarkable coin
cidence just the same that only these
two gentlemen, of all the members
of Congress, should be reported as
finding fault with the Presidents
message.
We have great respect for Sena-
tor Lodge, who is undoubtedly one of
the ablest statesmen of this country.

when we read him quoted as follows:
I am unable to undertake to

into discussions with the imperial
German government.
AS a matter of fact, the President
has entered into no discussions with
the German government. He has told
them that they must put up or shut
up but of course Mr.. Wilson does not
use such language, though that is
what he means, and even if he had
employed this plain phrase of the
streets, it is doubtful whether it
would have been any more compre-
hensible to the classic ear of the
senior Senator from the Bay State.
Furthermore, we are surprised to
note the Senator's painful anxiety
as to what effect this note will have

powers could then enter into discus
sions equipped with pawns in the
form of occupied territories with
which to barter over the conference
table. And so this "professor'', this
school teacher" whom political OPP
ponents as we'll as enemies of our
country have sometimes jeered at
and referred to as an incompetent
idealist', played his master stroke.
In a few brief sentences he turned
the tables neatly on the enemy, and
by one of the most skillful maneuvers
in the annals of diplomacy, Mr.. Will
son, strategist and statesman extra
ordinary, accomplished what is
known to the man on the street as
calling the bluff. If Germany is
sincere in the desire to make peace
according to President Wilson's con-
ditions, she must now prove it by i'm
mediately withdrawing her forces
from every inch of occupied soil and
she must give assurances that her
people. not that of the Hohenzollern
dynasty. If the imperial government
is merely "sparring for time, her
reply to the Presidents inquiry will
disclose that fact. If the kaisers
diplomats intended to set a trap for
us, they will surely fall into it them
selves if they do not agree to comply
at once with the first condition set
forth in the White House note-viz:
the withdrawal Of the forces of the
central powers from invaded lands.
In the whir1 of war it is difficult
to grasp entirely the colossal signif-
canoe of the Presidents message. It
is difficult to realize that upon his
words depended the case Of the Allied
o-belligerents. One slip, one false
step, and the enemy would be quick
to seize any advantage thus presented.
The President knew better than any,
one how weighty his note would be.
He felt the awful responsibility-he
had in mind the sufferings of OPP
pressed nations, the welfare of our
Expeditionary Force, and the cause
of Democracy. When one thoroughly
digests the meaning of his note, it is
apparent that in that brief message
volumes are contained 1t is at once
fine benevolent, concise, adroit and
firm. The enemy Is confronted with
proffer by complying with the de-
mands of the note, or of being brand
ed once more with the stigmas of
hypocrisy and malevoIence. We can
await Germanys reply in calmness
and confidence. Marshal Foch has
trapped the German generals-Presi-
dent Wilson has trapped her diplo-
mats. If she chooses to comply with
our demands, peace is at hand. If
she refuses, our armies will bring her
to her knees.

EMPLOYMENT SERVICE BUREAU


New Britain is one of the most i'm
por5ant industrial centers in this
section of the country, and with the
added demands now made upon our
local factories by war orders it is
fitting and proper that the Govern
ment, through the Department of
Labor, should open a bureau of the
United States Employment Service
in this city. The purposes of the
bureau are ably set forth in another
column. The essence of the plan is
the recognition that one centralized
national agency is demanded for re-
cruiting workers for the nations war
needs; that the Employment Service
is the agency appropriate for this
task, and that adequate resources
must be given the Service and corre-
spending effectiveness secured to en-
able it to discharge the responsibility.
Our manufacturers have promised
their fullest cooperation to the En-
ployment Service Bureau. They are
intention to keep filled the ranks of
essential war workers. The question
of skilled and unsllilled labor will be
secondary to that of essential or nom
essential occupation.
Secretary of Labor w. B. Wilson
has the following to say with regard
to this new branch of the Govern
ment:
The need for military supplies
has made the mobility of labor
an important factor in military
operations. The impulse of every
department board and industrial
establishment has been to secure
the labor required to increase
their productive capacity with
out regard to its effect upon the
Industrial situation or the prior
ity claims of their neighbors.
That condition is rapidly being
remedled thrOu5h the centraliza-
ton of the responsibility for the
mobilization OF labor in the En-
ployment Service of the Federal
Departm ent of Labor. Even those
whose prejudiCes have hereto
fore stood in the way begin to
GSdllIS that Tie pIObIGIlI CCLIl only
be efficiently handled through
common policy emanating from
a central directing head.
There is no reason why the bu-
reau should not meet with success
in this city. It's task is to help win
the war and in that task it must be
helped by individuals as well as by
the city in general If it succeeds in
reducing the turnover of labor in
thiss vicinity, it Will have done some
thing worth while. The turnover is
the individUaiistic strike and repre-
sents much more loss Of time than is
involved i'll any strike or spontaneous
collective protest. The man in the
shop is an important factor in WIN
ming the war. If he fails the man in
the trenches, the latter must fail in
turn. Both are vitality essential to the
successful conduct of the war.
We wish the Employment Service
Bureau all possible success.

our war president Mr. Wilson has
written numerous worthy papers of

Purpose of Bureau.

The q. S. Employment Service has
for its purpose the supplying of skilled
and unskilled labor to essential war
industries. Today it has 10000 labor
recruiting agents of the United States
Public Service Reserve, and 500
branch Offlces-it covers the entire
United States. The biggest problem
confronting the nation today is to
maximum production of ships, food,
munitions and all materials necessary
for our army at home and overseas.
This means the right man for the
right job in every single unit of ac-
tlvlty on the part of the industrial
army of the United States. The labor
turnover since our entry in the war
has been enormous. A conservative
estimate by the authorities shows
that the entire production of the
United States can be increased Is per
cent. if this turnover is reduced to a
minimum. Hence the necessity of
an official government department to
cooperate with workmen and employ
er alike to effect maximum produce
ton
