EMERGENCIES OVER

The various Departments and Blu

received immense appropriations to
meet "war emergencies" Will they
be just as prompt and as earnest in
recommending that the appropria-
tions be cut off when the "Emergen-
cy" ceases to exist?

GET BUSY ON PEACE PREPARED


So far as economic preparedness is
concerned, we are now almost exactly
where we were at the outbreak of the
war. Because the war cut off imports
goods. We have left the free trade
tariff law on the statute books. Be-
cause the war afforded our industries
the greatest protection and aid in their
history, we have been content to leave
the gates of our markets wide open.
We acknowledge that with the war
over we shall be confronted with a
problem of surplus labor, but we have
taken no steps to prevent the flooding
of our markets with the products of
the labor of Europe and Asia. We
learn from frequent news reports that
Great Britain has been giving close
and continuous attention to the after
war economic problems relating to de-
velopment of home industry and re-
sumption of export trade. We observe
that Japan has been increasing her
manufacturing output and securing a
larger hold upon trade in the United
States and other lands. But we have
been doing practically nothing to make
substantial preparation for the keen
commercial competition that awaits us
as surely as peace treaty shall be
signed.
Shall we continue in state of leth-
argy only to beawakened few
months hence with an excitedly an.
nounced discovery that "the world is
on fire" with trade competition? Shall
we be as dilatory in preparing for
peace as we were in preparing for
war?

The OwOSSO TIMES
owosso, MICH, NOV. 20. 1918

After all the political tricks used to
try and defeat Commander Newberry,
he was elected by about 10000, the
senate is Republican, and when that
fact became known the recount" talk
on the part of the Ford committee sub
sided. 1t would be interesting to know
how much money was spent in Ford's
behalf. st. Johns Republican.
One of the cheering results OF the
election was the decisive defeat of the
high-binders masquerading under the
name of "non-partisan league" in all
the northwestern states except North
Dakota, where Townly and his gang
have been stringing the farmers for
some time and are likely to continue
another two years, having elected a
governor. Signs Of returning sanity
in the other northwestern states are
encouraging-St. Johns Republican.

ing element Of our national life. The
large metropolitan press represents
the commercial factors. Just as pro-
duction is the first essential of per-
manent prosperity, so the maintenance
of that portion Of the press that
speaks for the producers is most i'm
portant.
"The metropolitan press has its
place in our national life and nobody
wishes it ill. fact remains, however
that the vital interests of the nation
are most promptly and most clearly
represented and the thought of the
people most freely and most courage
ously voiced by the country press. The
people of the country may not see 1t
now, but they will some day realize
that the large preponderance of sus-
pensions among the weekly publica-
tons is menace to national welfare"
