The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-12-19

Although the warfare has ceased, there
is still fighting in various parts of Rus.
STA and it is not the Russians alone who
are fighting. The United States has
force engaged in active service; Great
Britain has a fleet operating in the Bal
tic sea and other of the allied nations
have war representatives in various parts
pf the great domain or on the waters
contiguous. Russia is yet the great I'M
tanned bear and will not become quies-
cent until the allies gain commanding
influence in the country either through
force of arms or by means of diplomacy
There seems to be little hope that the
Russians WILL of themselves, settle their
differences and establish stable form of
government. The stumbling block is the
bolsheviki element, and it is against this
element that the greater part of the eff
forts of the allies is directed, just as it
must be directed in every country where
the element makes its appearance.

The Next British Cabinet.

The cabinet that the new British Par,
lament will meet when it assemblies will
differ largely from that which existed
when the old Parliament was proorgued.
And it is the probable composition of
the new cabinet that is now the most
interesting matter Of speculation. The
counting of the election votes has but
little to disclose except the exact fig
ures of the majority in the House of
Commons for the coalition headed by Mr..
Lloyd George. That strong working
ma jority has been returned is consid-

rible features of German occupation of
French and Belgian territory; and one
must agree that the propaganda is en-
tirely right and reasonable. A proper
perspective of the war cannot be secured
unless all of the phases of the war are
taken into consideration. Being late
conner on the field of conflict Wilson does
not, Of course, know the intimate facts
of the sufferings of the civilians who fell
within the grasp of the Germans. Let
him know the worst.

Percival W. Clement is not yet gov
ernor of Vermont but he is showing that
he is making efforts to get comprehen.
sive grasp of the situation, not only as
it affects Vermont conditions but as it
concerns conditions through the nation
as whole, by attending the governors
conference held at Annapolis, Md, during
the present week. That Vermont is rep
resented at that conference by her gov
ernor elect rather than by her governor is
not significant inasmuch as the execu-
tives will change within a month and
upon Clement will devolve the duties of
the reconstruction period, We are glad
that Governor elect Clement attended
this conference, which was perhaps the
most important of meetings of similar
nature held in long time, it being at
tended by the executive officers of nearly
all the states of the union and the sub
Jects considered having wide range.
No doubt the Vermont executive to- be
will get some valuable suggestions, some
of which might be applicable to Vermont

Surely the workers in the munitions
factories, who have been getting enor-
nous wages through overtime and Sun
day work, cannot expect the United
States to keep waging war just to let
them get their fat pay envelopes. They
might have taken into consideration
when they flocked to the munitions CEN
ters that this war was not going to be
an everlasting thing The reduction in
the prineely wages they have been receiv-
ing comes hard to them, no doubt, but
they viii have to do their part in the re-
construction on a peace basis; and that
peace basis does not mean that the mu-
nitions factories are going to run over
time and Sundays, and it does mean that
many of them will be forced to cut down
their lists of employees Every effort will
probably be made to prevent violent
changes in the course of the readiust-
ment, but there must inevitably be
transition. The munitions workers will
have to take their parts in the transition

1t used to be said that wars were
fought to rid the world of the excess
population which the world could not
easily support That theory must be
wrong because it required the services of
influenza to decimate the population of
the world to the extent of several mil
lions of people.
