JAPAN AND RUSSIA.

Oscar S. Straus, former ambassa-
dor to Turkey comes forward with
the interesting proposal that Japan
take hold of Russia and straightcu
her out.
mo greater service could be rem
dered by the united allies" he says
than to call upon Japan to assume
the chief burden of responsibility
and leadership in aiding the Russian
people to reconstruct their dismem-
bered empire, to rcconStitute their
leaderless and shattered forces and
march onward under the safe guar
antee Of constitutional liberty by
the side of her allies to win the war
for democracy
Its beautiful dream. That would
be a great service to the allied
cause, unqucstionbly. But the no
tion that Japan is capable Of such
a service is absurd on the face Of it.
Suppose the allies should ask Japan
TO step in and reconstruct Russia.
And suppose Japan were so quix-
otto as to try ii. What would Rus
sia have to say about it
The Japanese themselves have no
illusions as to their influence with
the Russians, Doctor Iycnaga, chief
promoter of Japanese publicity in
America, has often pointed out the
handicap under which his country
has labored throughout the war
because Of the Discrimination Of Rus
Sia to accept any fayors at the
hands Of the little yellow brother
who lately gave her so thorough a
licking.
Besides the dislike the Russians
feel for the Japs, they naturally dis
trust them as political teachers. The
most radical democrats in the world
are not likely to invite lessons in
from the least demo-
cratic OF all the allied countries.
About the only role we need ex-
oect Japan to play in reorganizing
Russia is to take what she wants of
EASTERN Siberia and rcorganizc it for
ler own use, as she has already
lone with Korea.

The department Of agriculture

continue to cooperate as hereto
fore to assist the farmers in every
way possible, All questions OF pro
duction, of the marketing of farm
products, of conservation in the
course of production and of agri-
cultural labor and of farm problems
generally will be handled by the de-
partment of agriculture; while all
questions of distribution of food
supplies to the allies and of conser-
yatlon in consumption will be han
died by the food administration;
but the chief reliance is upon the
farmer himself, and am sure that
that reliance will be justified by the
result.
The chief thing to be kept clear
ly in mind is that regulations Of this
sort are only part of the great
general plan of mobilization into
which every element in the nation
enters in this war as in no other.
The business of war touches every
body. 1t is a stern business, a CO.

ergy and business of service in the

LABOR CONSCRIPTION

II necessary, labor can be con-
scripted for shipbuilding and other
work. There is no question of the
moral and legal right. A govern
ment with power to draft men for
the army also has power to draft
men for industries necessary to sup
port the army. And the public un-
questionably would support the gov
eminent in such step-if it were
demonstrably necessary.
Thus far it is not necessary, and
let us devoutly hope that it will
never be.
The draft is recognized as the
right thing for military service. But
it will be a disgrace to American
labor if we have to draft men for
industrial service, either because of
enough workmen to volunteer or
because of disloyalty, sel6shness Of
Incidence on the part of those en-
ployed in vital work.
In all our discussions about
drafting labor, however, it is well
to recognize an important principle
laid down by Secretary Wilson.
"There will never be conscription
of labor" says the secretary of la
Dor, for use in privately owned
shipyards or any other private in
dustry. If it should ever become
necessary to conscript labor, the
private owner and the private profit
will be eliminated.
That is to say, the government
may conscript men only to work

Of the Republican national commit
