THREE STEPS TOWARD REFORM

The country is ready for labor
truce, such as was proposed by rep
resentatives of the public at the
round-table conference in Washing
ton, says the Seattle Times.
But such a truse, to be success
full, must involve more than mere
cessation of strikes on one side Or
anti-union on the other. 1t must
embody strong declarations for:
Increased production.
Price sterilization.
On the one hand. there must he
an end to the agitation for five
day week and a six-hour or FIVE
hour day. We shall get nowhere at
that rate, for production hardly will
equal demand and will not com
mence 10 make good the deficiencies
due to world interpretation.
On the other hand. there must Re
a re-establishment of values Cor
commodities and standards for
wages. Employers and employees
must learn, once again. what con
stitutes "a fair days pay" for "a
fair days work; all the people
must ascertain what is a just, rea-
sonable and defensible price for any
article in common use.
The labor truce would be the
first step in the given direction,
because it would give the law OF
supply and demand chance to WORK
toward the establishment of val
ues.
But il should be the policy Of
the round-table conference. working
with the President and Congress,
with capital and with labor. to speed
up the other reforms mentioned
above, which are of almost equal
importance 10 the nation at this
time.

CONSIDERING REFORMS
IN DEFENSE SYSTEM

SYDNEY, Australia - Important
and far-reaching reforms in the
defense system of Australia are adj
vocated in a report now being con-
sidered by the federal cabinet, The
report is the work of an advisory
committee of experts, several of
whom held commands at or near the
front during the war. The COM
mittee points out that with the
world in its present condition Of
unrest there is no real guarantee
against war. and ii emphasizes the
vulnerable position of Australia.
Ii recommends concentrated
course of citizen training covering
perhaps three months in a year I'M
der conditions approximating those
of war. It further recommends or
ganization of the commonwealth
military forces on divisional lines
and the formation of machine gun
and other new units sufficient TO
constitute six infantry and two cav
airy divisions; establishment of d.
visional headquarters and skilled
skeleton staff; an air service, and
development of arsenal activities to
ensure a reserve stock of ammuni-
/ ton and to enable Australia to
manufacture munitions
