of the war in spite of the difficulties Of
securing farm labor, supplies, mach
inery, and other necessary articles.
The planting and cultivating of g.
100000 acres more in 1917 than in
1914 by the farmers of this country Is
comparable with anything that has
been accomplished by any other indus
try. This production Of food crops on
an enlarged scales, at greatly in
creased expense of time, effort and
labor and by fewer men, steadily and
without publicity or the inspiration
that comes from large bodies of men

vent class conflicts. In other countries
these truces we're broken, but America
prevented class conflict during the
war. To abandon the methods by
which this was done is to invite Boil
shevism to America.
Bolshevism means the out-and-out
fight of labor against capital, with the
one object of driving capital from the
control of industry. 1t meant exactly
that in Russia. 1t must mean exactly
that anywhere else. But to hope TO
prevent Bolshevism by rarring out
right on the workers in worse than
foolish. 1t is criminal. The only way
to prevent Bolshevism is to bring the
workers into a going joint control of
industry.
There is no need to fear "the rise of
the workers" if such course is fol-
lowed The workers will rise, that is
certainty. If they do not rise to share
in control along the peaceful road Of
education and responsibility, they will
create a way to control where control
means cooperation. In the one way
every necessary function of the pres
ent-day capitalist is retained for So
cial service. Whatever the outcome
of the other struggle, it must be some
thing which neither American capital
lists nor American workers want.

BRUERE ON LABOR

In a recent interview in the New
York World, Henry Bruere state di-
rector of the Federal Employment
Service of New York, says some en-
couraging and interesting things. CO.
operation, he thinks, was the secret of
the good work done by the Govern
ment boards, and he points to the War
Industries Board and the National
War Labor Board as cases in point.
While the former was composed of the
essential war industries and received
received its real power and effective
ness from the industries themselves.
With an utter absence of arbitrary
rulings, the work went on smoothly
through a careful ascertaining of the
facts and consequent willingness to
abide by them. In the results obtain
ed through the National War Labor
Board were to be seen the power of
democratic cooperation of American
triotic ends.
This cooperation, according to Mr..
Bruere, must survive the war,
though different agencies may be en-
ployed, the principle has proved too
valuable to be discarded. And this, he
explained, is a very different thing
from saddling paternalism on the
country. Wherever cooperation is
en- to be advantageous industry will
Ike that direction and the larger field
OF the demands of peace will newt
ably broaden the field of cooperation.
Particularly significant is the ex-
preston of Mr.. Bruere on labor and
its demands and problems. He en-
phatically repudiates the idea ad-
vanced in some quarters that labor
was granted too much consideration
during the war and he says on this
point: 81 am sure that that complaint
does not express the fundamental at
titude of American employers general
ly. They are looking not for less but
for more participation by the work
men in the affairs of industry"
On the DOGGY of Bolshevism Mr.
Bruere spoke word of wisdom with
an implied warning for those who
abuse without thinking of cause and
effect. His expression is so sensible
and so sharply put that we quote il
at length:
Did you ever stop to think why Boil
shevism has not taken root in Amer
lea? Is not this the reason: In
America the natural demands of the
workers, as soon as they were formu-
lated, were met by the Industrial adj
ministration. In other countries a
truce" between capital and labor was
formally established. But it is one
thing to assent to a program and an
other to establish conditions that pre-

TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN FARMERS

perhaps no branch of the public
service is in position to recognize so
promptly and appreciate so fully as
the Bureau of Crop Estimates what
has been accomplished by the farmers
of the United States since the break
ing out of the world war;, says the
annual report of that bureau. From
the reports of its thousands of We lun-
tary crop reporters and its field as ents
who travel over each State and report
weekly and monthly their obsc rva-
tions, the bureau is in constant touch
with the progress of crop produ ton
from month to month and year to ear.
1t has seen the supply of farm labor
steadily decreased from heavy 6"afts
made upon it by other industrie" es-
pecially since the beginning o. the
war, and it has noted the decrea In
the supply of commercial fertilizers.
! 1t has noted also the steady rise in
farm wages, and in prices of farm
machinery and everything else that
farmers have to buy. With ar un-
bounded faith in the patriotism and
| determination of farmers to do their
utmost to help win the war by ain
tanning the production of food an raw
materials, it nevertheless has m vel
ed that the farmers of the .ited
States apparently have accomplished
the impossible by continuing to liant
larger areas and to harvest ia.ger
