 Question of Morals
 Under such conditions as these, I maintain, gentlemen, that the next question after providing employment during reconstruction for your con- sideraron and mine. and to which you and l and every other man with red
 blood in his veins must give attention. Is a question not of economics. not of business, but a question of morals. divide in my mind the question Of wages into primary and secondary questions. maintain that the pri- nlaray question is that of a basic or minimum wage, which, in common justice and good morals. must be de- termined by human needs. The sec ondary question of the wage in ex- cess of this basic or minimum wage, is an economic question, and may be determined by the value Cf the ser vice rendered as com pared with the value Of the services rendered by the workers who are receiving the basis of minimum wage.
 I hold that if our social structure is now so constituted that wages can not be paid to a man of average in- dustrty which will enable him to mar ", live in a decer place, and to pro- vide the necessities and some pleas ! ures for EIS wife and children. then 1 the social structure must be changed and I hold that sitting on a stick of dynamite is a safe recrc~ ion in com parison with sitting still upon this proposition and making labor force its
 own way to recognition.
 We have plenty of data and reu- able data, being gathered yearly by public servants to teach us the re- suit of insufficient wages. and we know, for instance. from study made
 by the Federal Children's Bureau in eight United States cities, that when
 the fathers wage is $50. I6S babies die out of every thousa. i: when the
 fathers wage is SS5o 110 babies de out of every thousand. and when the fathers wage is $1.25O, 64 babies die
 out of every thousand.

NO. SUBSTITUTES
 FOR STRONG DRINK
 LOCAL PASTOR SAYS

Those who have craving for strong drink will not be able to find a substitute after prohibition comes Rev. Alexander Alison, Jr.. pastor of the First Presbyterian church stated in an interview vest tarday- "A lot of perfectly good sentiment is being wasted just now by well meaning re- formers in trying to solve the problem of what to substitute for the saloon when the nation goes dry" he said The truth is that there is no substt- ute for the strong drink the saloons sell Why then do we continue to disilluston ourselves?
 The chief objection to the various brews of near beer is that they are so near and yet so far, as a Southern editor put it. You might as well ex- pect a smoker to substitute corn silk for tobacco as to expect a toper to give up the hard stuff for soft drinks. The only remedy for the situation is better homes. Make the homes so attractive that the men will be un- willing to leave them. Let us culti- vate again the once f1ourishing ability to make our homes centers of com munity influence"

It isn't the amount of trade that makes a nation great, for if you will study the more recently industrializ- ed countries you will discove~ that the change consists mostly in taking the people off the land, away from agriculture, and running them through a factory system whose sole aim and object Is the creation ot great private fortunes.
 The creation of private fortunes, like the creation of an autocraCy, does not make any country great; nor does the mere change Of an asricul- turaI population into 8 factory Qopu- lation.
 What accomp1ishes the desired end is the wise development Of it's nat uraI resources combined with a high development of the skill of it's peo- pie. and & general diffusion among all classes of the prosperity thus gained.
 Foreign trade is full of delusions. The ultimate basis of foreign trade is going to be the supply of those com modities which cannot be raised or rnanufa ctured in the places to which we send them.
 If every nation were fully developed 1 so that it could supply itself with the articles it now imports, foreign trade would be dir inished just that much.
 We ought to wish for every nation as large a degree of self-suPport as possible Instead of wishing to keep them dependent on us for what we manufacture, we should wish them to learn the arts themselves, to clothe

It is an unpleasant admission for
 a citizen of this country to have to
 make, but it is nevertheless true, that
 We have done less to protect our
 workmen and their wives and chil- dren against the hazards of injuries,
 sickness, old age, death and unem-
 ployment than Germany, France or Great Britain.
 Not until 1911 was anything effeC-
 tive accomplished in this line, and since that time thirty-eight states have succeeded in adopting accident compensation alone.
 But there is one thing we have done, and that is, proved to the wage earner that when we need his ser vices nationally, and cannot do with out him, as is the case in time of
 war, we are quite capable of prompt ly providing against his misfortunes. We did this by setting up the most 1 liberal system in the world of allow ances for our military forces, both for the men themselves and their dependents in case of death. At the time of the armistice 100000 checks a month were going to our soldiers dependents, and $37.0O0. 0.0O0,- 900 of voluntary insurance had been taken out by over 1000, 900 members
 of our army and navy
 Reasons No Greater i The reasons are no greater, what ever may be said of the risks. for in suring our wage-earners when engag- ! ed in g. battle for freedom than when ] enga ged in battling for life. | The chances for saving under our wage system are little if any better than the opportunities for saving as S { soldiers

and feed and house themselves and build up a soudly founded civihza- ton.
 When every nation learns to pro duce the things which every nahon can produce, then we will be able to get down to a basis of serving each other along those special lines In which there can be no competition.
 The north temperate zone will never be able to compete with the tropics in the special products of the tropics Our country will never be a competitor with the Orient in the production of tea, nor with the south in the production of rubber.
 A very large proportion of our for eign trade is based on the backward ness of our foreign customers. Selfish ness is Q motive that would preserve that backwardness. Humanity is a motive that would help the backward, nations to a supporting basis.
 Better than shooting the African native to make him buy your cotton and your beads is his development so that he can supply his own needs and build up a business in the com l modities of which nature has givCu 1 his country monopoly.
 Take Mexico, for example We have heard a great deal about the development of Mexico. Exploita- ton is the word that ought to be : used instead When it's rich natural resources are exploited for the in crease of the private fortunes of for eign capitalists. 1t ts not development, 1t is ravishrnent.

ORPHANS TAG
 DAY TOMORROW

The campaign to raise S1oOOo by the members of the Jewish Orphan Asy- Iu1n to establish a home for the Jew ish orphans in Fairfield county will wind up in a, tag day tomorrow. Over half the amount has already been realized up to date and judging from the enthusiasm of the teaam workers and the public who are So generously helping out, t is predicted that the drive will go over the top.
 Reports last night showed that S5,80s3 have been subscribed inclutf- ing some very large contrtbut ut4ons from Ge ". FatrchiId & Sons, Harry Walker and the WCrkingInen's Circle, No. 4S.
 Tomorrow will see 500 girls on the streets of Bridgeport who will let everyone help to make the drive one of the biggest ever held by the organ Izauon The young women will be assisted by Chief Johnson's 25 firemen who will accept cmtrjhU -ons in the center of the city. Nj Lawrence FinkelStone is in charge of the tag day and has planned to reach every part of the city and every citizen who has not yet had a. chance to mako his contr1bIton.
 Generals and their workers reoorh that the drive will end very success TuIly as every one, regardless Of race or creed, is interested and anxious to assSlst A mass meeting for those in tereste1i in the drive Will take place on Tuesday evening, at 36 Court street, when prominent speakers will

 Recent investigations made by the War Labor Board and the T.. $ De partment of Labor conclude that a workers family ot five cannot live Iecently and respectfully, including a lair amount of recreation 10 keep heir point of view clean and cheer ful. on less than S1.80O a year: and it oehOOves us To see how closely the approach these su, -istence figures. In he same period that it cost the com mon labOrer SS5O to sustain his fam ly, he could make at the prevailing rate of wages S6OO if he worked every working day in the year. During the period when il was costing him $1. .O5O foIs himself and family, he was nal1- ing under $500 if he worked every working day in the year. When, in 1917. il was an accepted fact that the decent cost of living was from s1,6OO to $1,SO0 for the year, your skilled mechanic was making S1,425 if he worked every working day in the year.
 NOn-War Industries
 In mentioning these wages, I am Hot speaking of those particular em- pIOyments for the products of which T.. In some of these trades there have been wild wage advances. But am taking those industries where the ad- vances have not been affected by the war, but have only advanced as they would have advanced normally in the same space of time, such as, for in stance, the printing and the building industries.
 It is interesting to note that the cost of living increased from sixty to seventy-siG per cent during the war, dependent on locality. The Metal Trades wage advanced 5 per cent, and the building trades 28 per cent. But do not mean by this that those engaged in the metal trad were not making more than B per cent more during the war than they were before the war, but that the excess that hey were making over s per cent was made in overtime and bonus systems, where they prevailed.

GERMANY MUST GET SUPPLIES

London Thursday March 13 - If Germany does not get quite large food supplies during April literal star vation will result, says a Reuters des- patch from Berlin.
 "The government was forced to raise the bread ration weeks ago to it's present status to keep the people even relatively quiet" the despatch reads With this ration, grain sup piles will be absolutely exhausted by May. Cultivation is backward and only half a harvest Is expected this year. In the meanwhile, the spectre of Bolshevism Is taking on flesh and blood, as one can see when he passes through the East End suburbs or ,.a.l.s with people who see behind the scenes or with educated Russian fugi- lives in Berlin"

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
To the Editor of The Times:
 Will you please explain the Monroe DoCtrine2 A Reader

After Napoleon had been beaten at Waterloo, France, Russia, Prussia and Austria formed the Holy Alliance in September, 1915. The Spanish colo nies in America were in revolt. America had recognized the inde- pendence of these colonies It was asserted that the Alliance would at tempt to conquer the rebels Monroe, who was the President, addressed a message to Congress, in which he said: With the existing colonies or dependencies of any European power we have not interfered and shall not interfere, but with governments which have declared their independ- ence and maintained it, and whose independence we have on just princi- ples acknowledged, we could not view any Interpretation for the purpose of expressing them, or controlling in any other manner their destiny, by any European power, in any other light than as the manifestation of an unfriendIy disposition toward the United States
 The practical application of the doctrine goes not further than to place the United States in opposition to any possible attempt to subjugate or take possession in whole or in part of any American country.
 President Roosevelt took the posi- tion that a European power might inf1ict well merited punishment upon an American state, provided that such punishment does not involve occupa- ton, permanent or temporary of the territory of such a state
