evidence that no one can disbelieve.
The best answer to German peace
propaganda is sinking more U-boats,
sending more men to France, speeding
up our work along every line, and a
heavy subscription to the Fourth Lib
erty Loan. Peace must mean the tr.-
umph of right and justice, the deafeat
of Germansm, not a truce with it, not
a compromise with it.
Our soldiers in France are glorious
ly doing their part toward victory; the

them that the people at home are do

POST BELLUM PROBLEMS.

With the anticipation of peace a
year or so distant, far-sighted states
men are experiencing ill-concealed ap-
prehension as to the method of deal
with the huge reconstruction problems
that will confront the world. Whole
countries will have to be rebuilt, the
industries of many nations will have
TO be changed from a war to peace
basis, and jobs will have to be found
for many millions of men,
This country's peace problem will be
as great as its war problem. 1t will
be harder to handle because the ele-
ment of patriotic fervor and sacrifice
will be lacking. After the war every
man is going to be concerned strictly
in his own interests in the effort to
reconstruct his own business. Such
an attitude will never solve the gigan-
tic problems that viii confront US.
Both capital and labor viii have to
make sacrifices after the war, if we
save ourselves from Russia's fate,
Wages will drop quicker than the cost
of living, and manufacturers profits
will decrease with the cessation of wa,
industries. The country will need
some real statesment to help it over
this critical readjuStment, and to edu-
cate the people to a new unselfishness.

vidual safe unless the world be safe.
The old condition was easier, cheap
er in money and energy and in many
respects il was more pleasant, but it
is impossible. We have lived in the
splendid wilderness, but the neighbors
have moved in and we must put up
with them.
We must, then, promptly, with
courage and determination, face our
new situation. We must not consent
to be drawn in, but of our own accord
step bodily into the vanguard, We
have many of the qualities for lead
ership in the regime that follows the
war. We are young, with the bold
ness, the enthusiasm, the imagina'io ion
that goes with youth We are rich
with the spoils of virgin continent
We are cosmopolitan, the heirs of a
multitude of cultures, and traditions
We are free from the mesh of accuJqu-
lated iealousies, hatreds and sus-
picions that entangles most Of the
states of Europe.
One thing We lack-eXperience. Our
public problems so far have beer re-
markably simple. They are becoming
more complex. We are provincial.
We know little of the traditions,
tastes. ideals and ambitions of the rest
ci the world. Before we can take our
new place we must learn to know
Europe-yes, and the Orient, too.
This is our big task.

OUR SOLDIERS AN EXAMPLE.

Our soldiers who gave their lives
in the American drive all died with
their faces toward Germany. They
fought and struggled on toward their
ELECTIVES as long as life was left in
their bodies. There was no talk of
hours. food or living conditions in the
trenches.
Is it right then that the American
workmen who are exempted and al.
lowed to stay safe at home, should
constantly demand concessions and
strike if they are not granted?
Wages and living conditions for la
boring men are the best in the world''
history today. But still they demand
more money for the work they turn
cut. These eXtravagant wages can
rot last after the war, and in the
meantime the raises that are now
granted will be met in the same pro
portion by higher cost of living.
that is inevitable.
Ii is about time the workingmen OF
| the country expressed their satisfac-
ION with present conditions, since the
war has bettered them to such a grea,
extent, and try to put all their effort
INTO supporting the boys in France.
