London Proud to Greet.

There are few incidents which can
rival the Presidents visit to our CAPT.
tal," says the Daily Telegraph. Lon
don and Great Britain will be proud
to greet the man who is at the head OF
a vast nation and is himself a fore
most citizen of the world. They recog-
niZe in his visit token of wonder
full future and a sign and seal of that
great alliance of the Anglo-Saxon peo-
pies on both sides of the Atlantic
which means. so much for the hanpi-
ness and tranquility of mankind. They
know how valuable will be his advice
and counsel in the future parliament
Of peace. for he brings to the discus,
sions that clarity of judgment and
FRESHNESS of vision which are SO help
full in an emergency like that with
which we are confronted. If he does
not himself sit at the council table.
for he Is not an ambassador, delegates
Of the various powers will have had
the advantage Of frequent consulta-
tons with him. President Wilson's
visit marks a great turning point in
the history of International politics
and new link binding the western
hemisphere with eastern communities
of interest"

GO ON IMPORTANT MISSION
American Labor Leaders viii Attend
Session of British Trades Union
Congress in September.

Americas mission to the British
Trades Union congress, which meets
in London on September II, will be
headed by Samuel Gompers, president
Of the American Federation Of Labor.
It will tour England, France and Italy,
confer with local leaders and inspect
labor conditions.
Mr.. Gompers will be accompanied
abroad by William J. Bowen, presi-
dent Of the International Bricklayers
and Plasterers' union; John 7. Frey,
OF the fntefnatidnar 4ioluuls
union; Edgar Wallace, editor Of the
United Mine Workers Journal, and G.
L. Paine, president of the International
Boot and Shoe Workers union.
Mr.. Gompers and his party will visit
Italy early in September to discuss
with representatives of labor of that
country matters affecting labor policy
and the war. The mission will return
to London in time for the Trades
Union congress and later will go to
France. Mr.. Gompers said that many
questions vital to labor and the war
in France and Italy would occupy a
large part Of the missions attention.
He said there would be no socialist
representation, denying reports from
London that the congress would be a
joint labor and socialist affair.

Unprecedented Demand for Man
Power After the War Is
Inevitable.
ban ON EMIGRATION sure
United States Bound TO Be Greatly
Affected by the Conditions and, asl
One Writer Urges, Preparations toE
Meet Them Should Be Begun With
out Delay.

There Is a persistent demand f0r
man power in the war. There is alT
most certain to be an almost equally
insistent demand for man power III
industry after the war.
This Is the opinion Of a writer lM
the publication "1009o," who deus
with It in this prophetic fashiop \.
The nations greatest asset Is ftS
men. The manner in which the assets
Of the great European nations are now
being destroyed is cold-blooded fact
that must eventually be reckoned
with. When the war is ended the ma
tions will find themselves handicapped
not only by the loss of millions of
workers carried off by bullets and dis
ease, but also by other, millions Of
men who, through loss of limb and pro-
ductive power, will become burdens.
"These conditions at once indicate
how great scarcity of men there will
be in the work of restoring European
industry and the ravages Of the war.
'It Is evident, therefore, that the
goveSnments Of Europe must conserve
for themselves what remains of their
labor power by putting ban upon
emigration Of the able-bodied.
"While this great devastation Of
man power and destruction of indus
trial resources is being carried on In
the warning countries, our own coun-
try Is becoming rich as never before.
Our wealth is'increasing to almost un-
heard Of proportions. This greatly in
creased wealth must be proftably EN-
ployed and about the only way in
which 1t can be used Is through the
development Of our tremendous ma
tural resources. But our problem Is,
how are these great resources to be
developed without an adequate labor
supply? 1t is now well-recognized
fact that our American born are not
willing to do the heavier classes Of
work. In our foundries, our steel
mills, our coal mines and on our rail-
roads will be found the worker of for
eign birth. And now that our own
country is sending its best manhood
to the battle front, where hundreds of
thousands may be killed and MANNED,
the man problem of the future comes
before us with greater emphasis.
"Not only are we going to be called
upon to secure workers from other
countries to do the work that must be
done in our future Industrial develop
ment, but we shall be compelled to
realize the necessity of properly car
ing for those who shall come to help
us. 1t is going to mean that an en-
tirely different attitude on our part
will have to be applied and greater
consideration shown for those who
are to do the work that we will not
do.
"This is side Of our industrial fu-
ture that demands our best thought
and the degree to which it can be
most satisfactorily dealt with will de-
pend upon how well we have pre-
pared"

Commission to Be Ap-

H& Dor and Materials Would
Justify Increase in
Present Price.

washington, Sept. by proclama-
tl Nj President Wilson set S2.2O a bush
sssa price guaranteed
GhB The government for the 1919 wheat
crop. a disinterested commission, the
president said, will be appointed next
spring to see whether the increased
cost Of farm labor and supplies would
justify an increase in the above price.
Possibility of peace before the mid
die of 1920 was indicated in memoir
andum written by the president and
accompanying the proclamation, as a
factor in determination of the presi-
dent to maintain the present price for
the 1919 crop.
The Presidents Memorandum.
The presidents memorandum says:
"In issuing the governments guar
antee of the same price for the 1919
wheat crop that was guaranteed for
the 1918 crop, I wish it to be under
stood that In the spring Of 1919 l
will appoint disinterested commits
sion who will secure for me the facts
by that time disclosed as to the in
creased cost of farm labor and sup
plies, using the three-year prewar av-
erage prices of wheat, of labor and OF
supply costs as a basis, and that from
this information l shall determine
whether there should be an increase
In price above the present level, and,
liz so, what advance, in order to main
tain for the farmer good return.
Increase May Be Granted.
SHOULD 1t then appear that an in
crease is deserved over the present
guarantee, however, 1t will be applied
only to those who have by next har-
vest. already marketed their 1918
wh5sat.
1t is the desire and intention of all
departments of the administration to
give to the wheat grower fair and
stimulative return in order that the
present acreage in wheat may be main
tanned.
''In giving guaranteed price for
wheat one year in advance (the only
industry guaranteed by the govern
ment), there is involved consider
able national risk. If there should be
peace or increased shipping available
before the middle of 1920 Europe will
naturally supply itself from the large
stores of much cheaper wheat now in
the southern hemisphere, and, there
fore, the government is undertaking a
risk which might, in such an event,
result In a national loss of as much
as $500000,000 through an unstable
surplus, or, in any event, in maintain
ing high level OF price to our own
people for long period subsequent to
