LABOR SURVEY TO
BE MADE IN MONTANA

That Montana is facing a serious
farm labor shortage is the opinion of
E. L. Currier who is federal farm help
agent for Montana. Mr.. Currier says
that steps will be taken at once to
organize each county of the state so
that any outside labor that NAV be
brought in can be handled in a svste-
matte way.
AS a part of this program during
the month of February "a survey will
be made to determine as near as pos
sible what our labor requirements will
be for the coming season. With this
information at hand it is thought that
enough labor can be brought in from
outside sources to help very material
ly in handling the harvest situation.
It might be of general interest to
know that some 10000 men under the
direction of the U, S. Bureau of Labor
follow the harvest each year from
Texas to North Dakota. Bureau of
Labor Officials express confidence
that they can direct a large number
of these men to Montana provided
they are furnished with definite in
formation as to where to send them.
The survey mentioned above will be
made for the purpose of securing in
formation. 1t will be carried on by
the school system of the state ac-
cording to a plan formulated jointly
by the state department of public in
struction, the extension department of
the State College, and the state and
United States department of agricul-
ture. Details of the plan will be an
nounced later.

The day was drawing to a close.

For some time Paddy stood think

The request of Austria for conf
Dental exchanges between diplomats
representing the several belligerents,
with a view to aScertainins whether
peace is possible, is a subtle and dan
gerous attack against the allies on
their weaker side.
1t is to be expected tina: every lever
age will be employed to compel atten-
ton in the ALI ed countries.
The request is an appeal 10 the
.cowardice Of the democratic peoples.
1t is a repetition Of the Lansdowne
argument 1t is denial OF the virtue
of open diplomacy and a re-assertion
of the rights of autocrals. Its OBJECT
is to accomplish a sharper division De-
tween the pacifist and the irTeconciI-
able elements of the allied nations, SO
as to compel the governments TO MAKE
a premature peace or, al the least. SO
as TO hamper them in future prosecu-
ton of the wa. 1t aims also, II pos
sibie. to divide the allied countries one
from another on the question OF dls-
clssing peace. Since nothing like the
strategic unity OF the allied armies has
been achieved in the He!d of politics.
the enemy sees reason to hope.
While glib,y talking OF rights and
principles, the whole long argument OF
the enemy may be summed up in a
sentence. The enemy says that since
attainment of our real aims would in
volve additional sacrifices. We ought TO
abandon our aims. When it Is re-
called that our real purpose is TO de-
strov the seeds Of war in the world,
and~that this can not be done without
depriying me HohenZollerns and
Hapsburgs OF al power 20 plot against
the worlds peace, the imposstbilty OF
accomplishing anything except our
own surrender at a secret conference
Of diplomats is plain.

its institutions. 1t employs now the
