inferior physical qualifications in the
ordinary run of young Americans or
an exceptionally rigid standard by
army surgeons, possibly both. But
that explanation does not remove the
sting of the fact, If it develops into
indisputable fact, that 70 per cent OIL
youthful Americans are below par IN
military sense. more thal in any 0tner
country for it leaves only 3 men in 10

These disappointing figures are en-

not become scraps of paper when all
parties concerned are strong enough
to make such a transition too costly.
The statement seems to have been
drawn from the Government by the
i.aborites' agitation for the conscrlp-
ton of wealth as balance for the
vital character of patriotic service by
labor during the war. The argument
was made that at the end of the war
the wealthy will be more wealthy be-
cause of the war while the poor VIII
be poorer after their yers of sacrlfice.
The huge war debt is marked for
reputation and the release of wealth.
from sharing the national burden, ac'
cording to the ultra suspicious among
the Labortes The reply of Chan-
cellor Law was that there Will be no
repudiation after the war and no con
scription of wealth during the war
but following the return of peace
there will be periodical levies OH
wealth by the Government which VIII
gradually wipe out the debt with
benefits to all and injury to none. The
plan has a plausible anl not uniavor-
abl appearance on paper but after the
war may be found to he no more
practicable than reputation.
