CONTRARY TO NATURE

We are often told that because certain habits are
not natural they must be wrong. We must not eat
certain things. drink certain things, or act in certain
ways because in a state of nature we would not do so,
and these things are, therefore, contrary to nature
Human customs cannot be regulated by an appeal
to nature. Nature has provided for us up to a certain
point, and then we have taken matters out Of her hands.
In the main our entire lives are unnatural. It is not
natural for. a man TO- follow a pillow all day, to sit at a
to read books. or to do any one Of thousands Of
things that all of us do, and that we must do il we are
ktp live the lives in which we have found ourselves, and
in which we choose to remain.
The natural human being would live the life Of the
iuntamed beast, eating when and where he could, sleep
ing in q cave or hidden in the branches Of a big tree.
The human race has abandoned those habits. and has
contracted others which are artificial. We live artificial
fitves, and We follow a multitude Of practices which are
sas contrary to nature as is the practice Of cooking food
when nature obviously intended food to be eaten raw.
The fact that a thing is contrary to nature is not
. sound argument against II.

THE SUGAR SITUATION

It is not q pleasant thing to see what should be a
dispassionate and impartial investigation Of an impor-
tant subject conducted with the bias which has very
manifestly characterised the attitude Of Senator Reed,
chairman OF the senate committee which is conducting
the sugar investigation. For reasons Of his own which
have never been very clearly explained, Senator Reed
supported his opposition to the food conservation bill and
by bitter and utterly undignified personal attacks. That
spirit has characterized his conduct all through the sugar
investigation When Claus spreckles, the western sugar
magnate. made his statement as to the cause OF the sugar
shortage. and attributed the existing conditions to the
meddlesomeness Of the food administration, Hoover pre-
pared a statement setting forth the facts from his stand
point, and asked that it be received by the committee in
order that his statement should 60 before the country
Immediately following that Of spreckles. Senator Reed
opposed this, and the charge against the food administra-
ton went before the country. with the statement Of the
government agency left to take pot luck after the orig
inal charges had had time to soak in. Hoover, with the
approval Of the president, did take steps within q few
days to place a statement before the public independently.
but the biased action Of Reed doubtless has had some ef-
feet. asan
In the statement made by Mr.. Hoover no attempt
was made to deny that the sugar shortage was caused In
part by the shipment Of sugar abroad. In some measure
the needs Of our allies have been supplied. That was one
of the purposes Of the government. The need Of our,
friends across the ocean was greater than ours, and no
good American will besrudge them a modicum Of sugar
from this side Of the ocean in order to aid in ~sqpplyins
them.
It seems pretty clear that Mr.. spreckles Is miffsd'
because the action Of the food administration prevented
him from boosting sugar prices to extortionate figures.
Not all sugar men take that position. In a recent state
ment on the subject. George =. Earle; Jr. one Of the
leading independent sugar refiners. gives full credit 70
tho food adminiItr.t don for iss effective work. and ex-
presses willingness to have hs profits cut for the benefit
OF the nation. III

GOVERNMENT By EXPERTS

Quite often We run. across tho suggestion that the
conduct Of public affairs should be placed in the hands
OF those who are experts In such matters. and. having
been placed In such hands. 1t should be, left there.
No one will deny that the expert, the trained special
list. Is an exceedingly valuable man. W. need him ana We
can a, not we'll get along without him. Bpts the fact that
. man has spent years in one line of work, and has be-
Come thoroughly familiar with technique, Is no guar
antee that he is capable Of handling i. successfully on an
independence asis. TO 60 no further back than the last
few weeks, the disclosures in the military investigation
in Washington proves exactly the opposite. Sc
1t was brought out in that investigation that insqf-
ficient arms and clothing have been provided for our
soldiers; that we are Obliged to draw on the French for
armament with which to equip the men whom We are
sending to their soil; that negotiations for the purchase
Of wool for clothing for our soldiers, which were begun
last April. dragged along until September. notwithstand-
ing the fact that we were at war, were assembling men
by the hundred thousand, and that winter was rapidly
approaching. And yet all that business was in the hands
Of experts. professional men who have spent years in the
service. 5Ei
The experts had permitted themselves to become sur
rounded with form and fub-dub. They had got into a
rut. They had fallen into the habit Of going according
to rule rather than Of getting the Job done.
One of the most interesting and significant things Of
this war, both here and abroad, is the manner in which.
'EeSpoHQlHS u ne appeals OF their governments, business
men, trained in and for civil life, have devoted themselves
to the public service. often in lines of work with whose
technique they are utterly unfamiliar, and the phensme-
nal success that hastsattendsd their efforts. W. "
Suppose that the work OF providing clothing@had
been assigned to a successful merchant instead Of to- Gen
eral Sharpe whose duty 1t was to look after 1t. The
merchant, II he were . big enough man Tor the job, need
never have bought or sold a pound of wool or a yard Of
cloth in his life. He might have been a dealer in pig

holes Of half a dozen bureaus and to gather dust on the
journey. He would have ronped through all the red
tape. brushed all the cobwebs aside. and clothing would
have been on hand by the time the men were ready! 70,

Our government, like the governments Of our asso
ciates in the war. is making use Of the. business experi
ence Of its able men. And it is found in many cases tina,
these men. accustomed as they are to dealing wit
promptness and exactness In the handling Of large af

THE SUBMARINE AND THE WAR

Those who should know tell us that there is a con.
slant increase in the number of submarines destroyed,
and that the number is regularly greater than is the ca
pacity of the German shipyards to build S.w craf, while
the number of merchantmen sunk shows on. the whole
q regular decrease, and the number is less than the num-
Der Of new vessels built. These things being SO, it fol-
lows that unless there is a change in the program, the
effectiveness Of the submarine will both actually and
relatively diminish, and If the process were continued
indefinitely the time would come when the submarine
would be an almost negligible weapon.
tits evident, however, that the process cannot go
on indefinitely in the same ratio. II merchan ships be-
come more numerous 1t will be easier for the subma.
trines to find them, and, while methods of dealing with
the submarine have been improved, the fact remains
that even a single submarine carries with it possibilitie.
of destruction which are not to be ignored, and con-
corning which estimates can scarcely be made with any
sdenniteness or according to any general rule.
It is essential that we build all the merchant ship
We can, and that we sink submarines as fast as we can
But the submarine will remain a menace, and a danger.
GUS one. until the German submarine bases are de
destroyed. When the allies are able to break tho Ger
man lines and force the Germans away from the Belgia,
coast the submarine problem will be practically solved
And whom. in addition to that, the German coast is 81

rine eliminated from this war Until then it will continue

One Of the members Of the Minnesota Council of

available for fuel and that much OF this can be utilized
TO supply fuel. for the state AS ID the labor involved
in preparing this wood for use he points. out that in the
mining districts there are thousands Of laborers who
have little or-no occupation in the winter, and that these

has spent much time in passing through a great wooded
district has failed to be impressed with the enormous
quantity Of fuel that is going to waste on the ground.
IN the past much Of this waste has been unavoidable.
