Four hundred thousand British
soldiers discharged from the army
have been returned to English in
dustry without difficulty. Nearly
two-thirds Of them have returned to
their old employers. The millions
remaining will be placed Just as
smoothly when the war ends. That
Is possible because Great Britain has
worked out a complete. practical
plan for this economic replacement.
It's time we began to think about
the same problem.

CONVENTION Of LABOR
CONTINUED from page ~

should have a part IN us cohtIois
Every worker has right to be
freed from all avoidable uncertain
ties OF employment. both from those
arising through poor labor admins
tration and from mismanagement In
production and the efforts of specn-
lation In raw materials or finished
products.
"In looking toward the future we
feel keenly that the nature OF social
development will depend largely up
on the principles which workers
shall demand as the basis for rela-
tionships.
we are each day building labor's
house OF tomorrow, n that struc-
ture is to endure the test II must
be founded upon the bedrock princi-
pies Of equality and democracy in re-
lations between men.
THE present war is an extraor-
dinary opportunity to determine
those principles. This life and death
struggle between the nations or the
world Is a laboratory which is dis
closing the strength Of weakness OF
every social relationship and institu-
tion. War Is forcing us back to the
essentials OF life. War is funda-
mentally cooperative action OF or
ganic society. The present war Is
on such a gigantic scale that every
part Of national life is involved. The
whole nation Is In the war. The
spirit Of war activity and organiza-
tion Is essentially social. The ma
tional organism is at stake. As a
war necessity We are seeking the
principles which will assure the
most efficient cooperation. This CO.
operation must come from the two
primary forces of society--the pos
SCISSORS of creative labor power and
controllers of capital"
In behalf OF labor, offering this
cooperation. the report renewed i's
declaration that labor cannot be
classed as a commodity and demand
ed equal right to representation
and equal voice on all agencies de-
termining matters affecting their in
terests and welfare, whether in pri-
vate or government employment.
Progress made towards this end
through the shipping board and ord
nance departments OF the army" the
report says, indicate what must be-
come an accepted custom in all pro-
duction." In some governmental as
poets Of war production, the report
asserted, the representation has not
been accorded. 1t suggests that all
producing enterprises be equipped
with a labor manager" as we'll as
chief engineer and other execu.
tiyes, and said that there ought t.
be In charge of all labor problems
of production a high powered train
ed labor man."
In addition to its presentation ol
abstract principles. much Of the an
nual report was taken up with re
cent history of the federation's ac
tivities as they had to do with thu
conversion Of industrial establish
ments to war service particularly cit
ing the insistence of It's officials fol
the S-hour day. Considerable tint
was devoted to the war labor boart
creation and to railroad labor poll
cies. It dealt likewise at length up
on the adoption by West Virginia

compulsory labor laws, and express
sed anxiety that the idleness banned
by the laws should not include "tha

RECONSTRUCTION NOW
THE REAL BUSINESS
Work of Repairing Destruction
Wrought by War the Largest
Order Ever Given.

During the past week leaders of busi-
ness and financial thought discussed the
return to normal conditions hopefully.
Repair of the ravages of war will occupy
the world longer than the doing of the
destruction. and profit will be substituted
for loss All nations temporarily share
the burdens of war, but they will be
transferred to one nation so far as that
can be managed Reconstruction is the
largest order the world has ever gwen,
save only the expenditure of two hun
dred billions in destruction Whatever
the exact number of billions Germany
must pay for reparation, conditions make
it necessary that many of them must be
spent here. England, France and Ger
many have lost man power. Belgium and
an important part OF industrial France
have lost buildings and machinery. The
world lacks food and clothing to the
value of many hundred millions. Here
ONLY is there man power machine power
and materials to supply these basic wants.
Also only here os to be found the financial
power necessary TO supply the credit for
the work All this is additional to The
normal worlds work which never stops.
In his address before the United States
Chamber Of Commerce Mr.. Paul NJ.
Warburg expressed belief that the time
is near when american dollar acceptances
will be outstanding to the extent of more
than one billion dollars in credits granted
all over the globe" According to the
latest estimate by Mr. Leopold Frederick,
the acceptances of London total about
a half billion, and New York present
total is about a quarter billion. 1t is
not possible that New York should
double London's commercial credits, and

The situation now IS the reverse of
that when all the world was competi-
lively spending borrowed money here,
demoralizing our prices for labor and all
its products Then the world bought
away from us our share of the world
current surplus by spending here, as Mr..
Vanderlip estimates, thirteen billions,
almost exactly the cost Of the war to US,
according to Secretary McAdoo's report
We have our choice to 60 on spending
lavishly and keeping our prices above the
level Of the worlds ability to pay and
necessity to spend; or We can continue
our war thrift, consolidate our gains, and

cott Of Germany would be imitation of
Germany's fault 1t the world wants
Germany to repair the wrongs it did, he
says, Germany must live and have ac-
cess to raw materials. Germany should
not be separated from the rest of Europe
respecting its economic wants. They
are on Colossal scale, difficult to re-
alize, too vast to be met by private en-
terprise. Old-time methods Of compe-
tition sound trivial. Cooperation on
large and magnanimous scale and in
most sympathetic spirit must be the rule

elsewhere. Mr.. Warburg is not among
those who favor letting down our scale
of prices for goods and labor with o run
and a crash. He approves rather gradual
process made possible by financing our
share of the worlds trade To greater
degree than we have ever done. it Is
not question of dIsplaclng London as
the worlds banker, but rather of entering
into partnership in trade big enough to
divide, even admitting other partners to
share, the place which Germany has
vacated for an indefinite future.
Mr. Warburg and Mr.. Farrell agree
how this can best be done. The work
of feeding, clothing and supplying the
worlds deficiency from normal abun-
dance cannot await the slow process of
Germany's payments. The world helped
France to pay it's indemnity To Germany
with surprising ease and speed But the
world will not help Germany with the
same readiness, and Germany cannot
help itself as France did. France was q
country of investors, and Germany did
business on credit, now gone. Germany
cannot paw its debts, to say nothing of
paving indemnity on the necessary scale,
and with the speed the case requires.
Germany must live to do or pay any
thing, and only its surplus is available
for the relief of those whom it has de-
prived of food, clothing, shelter and
ability to work To supply them. The
work must be done on Germany's account,
and the bill rendered just "a a bill last
week, in the German manner, was rendered
for the expenses of the military occupation

ATTITUDE TOWARD HUN a PROBLEM.
What attitude this country should as
sumo toward Germany and the Germans
is serious problem. The German peo-
ple have for years abused the privileges

secret and ceaseless efforts to prepare
the way for world dominion. Their prop
aganda has been tireless and Thorough.
Its ramifications, like system of hid

and economic hold upon this country
had reached the danger point when we
were drawn into the war, Shall we
allow them to resume their subtle and un-
scrupulous conquest? As we have al
ready taken over most of their property
in this country, shall we not debar them
from any future economic hold upon us!
Shall we not prohibit the Investment OF

NEW USE FOR GOLD.
cousins

The war has upset many old
standards and set up new ones. One
of the curious results of this up
heaval is that gold has been reduced,
in some cases. to the role of a cheap
substitute for other metals. Hypo-
dermic needles, for instance, were
formerly made of platinum or plati-
num-iridium, two metals now prac-
tically unobtainable. The increased
war demand for these needles led to
many experiments with other metals
and alloys in the hope Of finding a
good substitute.
A manufacturing concern, making
speciality of tempering precious
metals, has recently perfected hy-
poderm:c needle of specially tenn
pered l4-karat gold, which offers
many advantages.
The metal has almost the hardness
and rigidity of steel, is not attacked
by steam, boiling water or chemical
solutions used for sterlizing, and the
needles are much cheaper than those
of platinum or platinum-iridium.-

trained servants. l asked one Of
these girls why she was spending

1t is good time for a great many
women to begin thinking in practical
terms. War wages and the wars in
creased demand upon labor have re-
duced the servant reserves to lower
point than was ever before known in
this state. Many women who have
escaped the kitchen all of their lives
