LOOKS AS IF IRISH
PROBLEM Be SOLVED
RESIGNATION FROM WAR CABINET
OF CARSON LENDS COLOR
TO BELIEF.

London, Jan. 23-The resignation Of
Sir Edward Carson from the war cabi-
net lends color to the report that the
government, taking the advice Of its
supporters in England and well-wishers
in the United States and in the domin-
ions, have decided to bring about a
settlement of the Irish question. Had
Sir Edward remained in the cabinet, he
would have been compelled to choose
between his loyalty to the government
and to his Ulster unionist followers.
This he has avoided by resignng, and
now he has a free hand.
During the short recess which the
convention has taken, Sir Horace Punk
EFT, chairman of the convention, and
other Irishmen who have worked so
hard for n settlement, are making a
last effort to see to it that their labors
shall not be wasted I'm this they have

PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis Of Food Saving
Showed Heart of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacri-
fee of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale of the Allied ar
mics and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit of service and sac
rifce will depend Europe's fate in the
months to come. In the past year we
have carried out an export program,
the magnitude of which is almost be-
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead OF 1880
900 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons of food to Europe In the coming
year-as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
If the Allies had not been fed by
America, it would have been impos-
sIble for them to maintain their de-
tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have conclusiyely proved that democ-
racy is q success an0 that in time OF
need it will rise to its own defense.
II there we're no other accomplish
ment to its credit the very fact that it
has shown the strength of democracy
has In itself more than justified the
existence Of the Food Administration
In the eyes of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas
food problem on a basis of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
irresistible.
"Many thinking Americans" said
Mr.. Hoover, land the whole world
have been watching anxiously the fast
four months In the fear that demo
cratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that 1t could not be
done. Contrary proof Is Immediately
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently in many di-
rections and upon the mere word Of
inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage of our Army and finances"
The history of the Food Administra-
ton has clearly shown that the trust
of those who put their faith in democ-
racy has not been misplaced

Secretary Of Labor Wilson makes
alton of labor for war industries,
recruiting for which is to begin Aug
ust 1 under direction OF the United
States employment service: =
Beginning with common labor,
this service will gradually take charge
~of the mObilizing and placing of all la
Dor for war Industries employing 100
or more workers. This will profound
ly affect all other industries and all
other workers. 1t will correct the
abuses and troubles growing out of the
large labor turnover with the cOnse-
quent disruption of regular work.
Every safeguard must be taken to
protect the standard Of living and the
morale of the wage earners. Espe-
cialIy must great care be taken to
keep the age limit Of those who enter
industry at a high level, lest we rob
our future citizenship Of it's right to
growth and time for education. We
must also take knowledge of the dan
gers attendant upon the large entrance
of women into heavy and hazardous
industries.
"The exigencies Of war times should
not be made the occasion for the break
ing down of those standards of hours,
wages. and conditions of work which
are designed to protect the childhood,
the womanhoodg and the motherhood
Of the present and the future.
Experts tell us 1t takes from six
to ten workers at home to keep one
soldier on the firing line in Europe.
Whatever. therefore, helps to mobilize,
distribute and energize those who do
the work of our war industries has
become as important factor In win
ming the war as the prowess Of our
armies In the field or our navy on
the seas"
