GERMANY'S PEACE TERMS

That was a great Prussian dream that came 10 us owe "e
wires yesterday. revealing the terms of the German peace pro
gram: The surrender of the British fleet, to be adueu W 0e
kaiser's; Gibraltar to be ceded to Spain-and controlled by Ue
kaiser; the Suez canal and Egypt to go to Turkey-anu d e ruleu
by the kaiser; all to be accompanied by a gift OF forty-IVe D-
lions from the United States, France and Great Britain 10 rem-
burse His Majesty for the cost of invading Belgium ana North-
ern France, this cost having been needlessly and foohshly ana
wrongfully increased by opposition to His MaJestys troops
In addition, Germany to keep Belgium and all OF Nor'nerh
France to the channel ports.
And yet, fantastic as this may seem, 1t is almost loenucai
with the war aims of Germany as outlined in the Frank1ufter
Zeitung more than two years ago, the plan at that time being
to first take over the British and French fleets, which with the
German would be seven times stronger than our own ana WIN
this force levy tribute on our coast cities to pay Germanys war
debt. We were not in the war, but the excuse for making us
pay the bill was that American firms had furnished munitlons
to Germanys enemies, just as Germany had sold them to Spain
and to us when we were at war with Spain.
And, fantastic as it may seem, there is only one thing that
stands in the way to prevent it, and that is Germanys inability
to enforce it. If she could control Gibraltar and the Suez canal
and the Panama canal as she controls the Kiel and her ally con-
trolls the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, all of which she
would do if she could, then her dream of world dominion would
no longer be a dream but a reality. And but for the entrance
of America into the war that is what would have happened,
possibly before now.

GOLD AND OTHER VALUES

The Tribune prints in this issue, under the caption, "Slump
in Value of Gold Mining Results in Closing Down Mines" an il
Illuminating discussion of the present business condition in its
relation to the mining of gold. 1t is from the editorial columns
of the Mining and Scientific Press of June %.
This confirms the reports that have appeared from time
to time of late in the news dispatches telling of the suspension
of operations in gold properties. 1t also supports the theory
upon which England has come to the support of gold proper
ties in South Africa by discriminating transportation rates and,
it has been said, even by direct subsidy. The Tribune cannot
vOunch for the statement that direct subsidies have been pro-
vided, beyond the fact that they were long ago proposed and
statements of those who are usually we'll informed that they
are actually in force.
England as well as other nations Of the world are in sore
need of gold to replenish and maintain their reserves and sup
port their credit. 1t was to be assumed that the British govern
ment would neglect nothing that would strengthen it's credit or
contribute to these ends. And while her relations with Canada
differ from those with South Africa, yet it is to be assumed that
any policy of encouragement extended to one will eventually
reach the other, indirectly if not directly.
Even in the absence of direct subsidy there are many things
our own government can do through regulations affecting trans
portation and the cost of supplies that would be helpful. 1t is
to be hoped these things will neither be overlooked nor neglect
ed until too late.
The present condition confirms more strongly than it has
ever been presented before the theory that neither gold nor sill
yer nor paper can afford an unvarying standard of values and
that the only possible standard or measure of values in the last
analysis is the days labor. Whenever labor of the same class
can be more profitably employed in mining copper, or silver, or
iron, or coal; whenever it can be more profitably employed in
growing cotton or grain, or in building ships for carrying the
commerce of the world than in mining gold, then it will be so
employed until the relative value of gold in comparison with
sother things that labor produces is increased and the balance
restored. Whenever a man can buy more gold with the prod
uct of a days labor devoted to raising wheat than he can dig
from a gold mine he will raise the wheat and let the other fell
low dig the gold.

CHINESE LABOR FOR FRANCE

In the ship news last week was an item of interest to Amer
leans who are wondering how we can draft millions of able
bodied men into the army and produce food, fuel and munitions
of war at the same time. 1t told of the arrival at an Atlantic
port of a large British passenger liner from the Far East by
way of the Panama Canal with 3497 Chinese coolies aboard who
are to be sent to France to do agricultural work. When the
war is over these Chinese will return to their homes.
France is putting every available man into her army, but
is trying to maintain production at the same time by importing
African and Oriental labor to take the places of men who are
trying to drive the Huns out of her ravaged territory. France
will not be "Chinafied" by this policy. She faces a condition
and solves it in the easiest and most obvious way without theo-
rzing about it.
1t may be that the work or fight rule will solve our labor
problems by forcing non producers and those engaged in non
essential work to serve their country in the fields and work
shops if they are not subject to military service. We shall know
the situation better next winter. IF we are short Of labor for
producing coal and food we should follow the example set by
France. This ship with Chinese aboard in one of our ports is
an object lesson of a gallant nation that uses all available re-
sources. including Oriental labor. to win the war. We may not
have to do the same, but we should consider the subject before
the spur of famine and cold goads us to speration.-Exchange
