REMARK CHANGE in GHETTO
NeN Workers Note Revived Interest IN
City Of Zion Since Jewish
is Soldlsrss Return.


The street scenes in oriental New
York just now are most interesting.
Since the local Jewish doughboys
have returned from the war q new
interest is shown in Jerusalem, the
City Of Zion, for which they actually
fought and helped to free, writes the
correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune. The penny
peep-show man has put in new line
OF Palestine ziews and does -four
ishing business. Then there is the
Hebrew "Morgendavit' or "Star Of
David" which appears for the first
time in the stock Of the vender of
emblems Of all nations. All around
these East side streets surges the
busy. cheerful, bargaining life of the
Jewish people strangely marked and
modified by New World customs.
but still holding in its heart
the ancient law and the prophets.
There is the rotary kitchen
man who sells potatoes and
pancakes, but no ~hot dog" Then
there is bewhiskered cunbstone
apothecary who sells unpatented
medicines and hot water bags; the
rugman, who carries an entire shop
on his ancient shoulders, and the
young Yiddish merchant, who ex-
changes new pots and pans for old
clothes.

SATISFACTORY SETTLEMENT

1t is a matter of decided qualification to the public,
as it is undoubtedly satisfactory to those Immediately
concerned, that a settlement has been reached in the
controversy between certain of the business establish
ments Of the city and certain of their employees. The
strike has ended. as most strikes do, in compromise. The
of union labor is admitted, but the unions, on
their side. agree to the open shop policy. A similar
compromise has been reached in the matter of wages.
The agreement has been reached on the basis of reason
and good sense, and the strike is over.
After the settlement of every strike and the resump-
ton of work, the question, naturally arises: Why could
not the same results have been reached without the
strike? A strike is a species Of warfare. Nations 20 to
war in the majority of cases to settle questions WHICH
could better have been settled without fighting. And the
war is invariably injurious to both parties. The nations
have learned by the bitter experience of these past five
years something of the folly of war, and there is at least
an approach to that attitude of reasonableness which will
decide international questions by peaceful means. And,
in the ranks Of employers and employees alike there is
becoming more and more evident a similar reasonable
ness, a disposition to yield as we'll as, to demand justice,
and a willingness to make concessions in the interest of
the general welfare. May that spirit continue to grow.

in exact PROPORTION. Again the increase must DO added
to the price Of goods. and we are just where we started.
The individual will be able to obtain. as the price Of his
labors for a given time, exactly the same quantity OF
food and clothing. OF art and entertainment. the same
quantity Of everything that he uses, that he could OBJ
tain before. A different set Of figures will be used to
record the transactions. and that is all.
One of our great economic goals is equity. Our
faces must be kept turned toward that. Useful labor,
of whatever sort, must be compensated according to its
worth. But we may attain equity and vet stand stl
unless we have in mind the other great goal, efficiency.
If some receive too much and some too little for their
services, that wrong must be remedicd, but that read
justment will not add to the worlds wealth. In order
that humanity at large may enjoy more, humanity at
large must produce more: Two blades of grass must be
made to grow where one grew before. The factory must
increase its output Of valuable things. The professions
must take up their lost motion and become more enec-
tive servants of the public. This does not mean that toll
must be increased, but that waste must be stopped.
Thus will the production of the world be increased. and
more of the desirable things of life will be placed within
the reach of all.

In a public statement made last Sunday President

The German people is only beginning. to awake
from the hypnosis into which it has been lulled be-
cause OF its solid faith in the sincerity and truthful
ness of Mr.. Wilson's program and his fourteen
points. The awakening will be terrifying and we all
look forward to it with gravest apprehensions.
Il and my colleagues upon whom, rests the ter
rifle burden of the forthcoming decisions hope and
pray the German people who staked all on President
Wilson and the United States shall not find them
selves deceived. If. however, the American democ-
racy actually accepts the present peace terms as its
own it becomes an accomplish and abettor of polit-
ical blackmailers; it surrenders the traditional
American principle of fair play and sportsmanship
and trails the ideals of true democracy in the dust.
notwithstanding the night now covering it, 1 have
abiding faith in the future Of the German people
and in the uncqnquerab ility of its soul. This people,
which has given the world SO much in science. learn
ing and industry must not so down to oblivion. 1t
still has a cultural mission to perform and ethical.
treasures to bestow."
This has a familiar ring. Other German, public mer
have expressed themselves of late in similar fashion. Blu,
we need not &c. to Germany to find grave doubts express
ed as to the sincerity and truthfulness of the American
president and the American people. And, if Herr Eber

principles which he enunciated, and gone over, body ant

the very act of taking the world by the throat.
Herr Ebert sets forth his opinions clearly and force
fully. He is to be complimcnted on his mastery of tn,
art Of expression. But he has nothing on the two. paper
aforesaid. which have stated the same opinions with fore
and clearness at least equal to his own. And they hav,
