The peace terms which Germany
forced upon Rumania recently might
properly be used as a model for the
peace for which the Teutons now are
asking. The Rumanians were COM
PEELED to agree to the loss of consid-
cradle territory; they were instructed
to disband their army; they were de-
prived of any control of navigation Of
the Danube; they were forced to sign
commercial treaties giving the Ger
mans important advantages over their
own people; the Germans secured q
monopoly of their oil products; their
surplus food supplies were taken by
force and were paid for in depreciat-
ed German currency. which the Ru-
manians were compelled to accept at
par; finally. they were fined 32.000.-
100000 for the privilege of making
peace with Germany.

MARKING PROGRESS.

Advances in labor conservation
mark the first years war legislation.
according to the annual labor legisla-
ton review, issued by the American
Association for Labor Legislation.
Congress and the twenty-five states
and territories which this year held
legislative sessions" says the review.
have almost unanimously insisted on
UNFOLDING, enforcing and attending la
Dor laws"
Most significant of the new enact
ments are the vocational reha Utilization
laws, it is asserted. The United States
has undertaken to re-educate crippled
soldiers and sailors for their return to
industrial life. while Massachusetts,
has gone a step farther and provided
vocational rehabilitation fof the great
army of workers crippled every year
by industrial accidents. Special legis-
lative appropriations were made by
both the United States and Massachu-
sets to develop an employment serv-
ice for rehabilitated persons.
The emergency employment service
for war workers established on an ex.
tensive scale by the federal govern
ment, altho developed without legisla-
tive sanction, the association points
out, will almost undoubtedly be made
permanent by legislative enactment at
an early date.
Further safeguards were thrown
about the labor of women and chill
'dren in Louisiana, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, New York. Rhode Island,
Virginia and Wisconsin.
In the field of social insurance, vir-
ginia became the thirty-eighth state
to adopt ,workmen's compensation and
Kentucky. Louisiana, Massachusetts
New Jersey, New York and Porto Rico
liberalized their compensation acts.
Four states now base compensation
for injuries on 55 per cent of wages.
four on so per cent, three on e5 per
cent. and six on "a per cent. In
teight states official commissions have
been making surveys, of sickness con-
ditions among wage earners. with a
view to health insurance legislation,
