Washington, Jan. 14.--Thousands of

Planning TO come to America as soon as
possible, John Il. Densmore, director of
the Federal employment service, told
the House immigration Committee today

can" along with thousands of Italian
prisoners in Silesla
Discussing industrial and employment
conditions, he said that, up 10 this time,
the demand for labor was about equal
10 the supply. and that The change from
a war TO a peace basis had resulted in
little labor disturbance and Il minimum
of unemployment.
Demand for labor viii increase as
industries resume peacetime activities,
lie said, while wages and prices may be
expected TO continue high.

CanlOuhaee kaiserism

Thus Americas help is still needed
to consolidate the victory of the Allies
and insure peace ana prosperity. As
a last resource the Germans have
camoufaged Kaiserism as Bo,shevism
and they are still dreaming of imposing
it upon the world under this new
name. It behooves us to take all the
precautions in our power TO defeat
their aims.
Until the constituent assembly has
established a stable government in
Germany, whose signature the Allies
can accept under a treaty of peace
they must remain on their guard and
not forgo any of the advantages which
martial discipline and unshattered or.
ganization give them over their oppo-
ncnts. To demobilize before Germany's
ambiguous plans for military cor
sani2ation on "socialistic' lines have
become altogether clear, to abolish the
censorship in the Entente countries
SO long as the Berlin rulers are trying
to infect them with Bolshevism. would
be criminal folly.
For in spite OF her inglorious drfea !
and spectacular conversion to "revolu.
tionary socialism" Germany is still Il
menace to the liberties Of Europe.

feasible at the present moment. as there
were three or four types Of airplanes
available which are capable cf making

General Brancier said the time was
not far distant when airpanes would he

today. lie said it probably would be
necessary TO establish an aerial police
force, the duty of which would be TO

TO short commons; but she Is in no
immediate danger Of starvation. and
the Germans themselves have boasted
all through the war that they would
never be starved out, because they had
gradually trained themselves to eat
less than other nations The whim.
pering appeals. of the Berlin Govern.
ment for food are as insincere as they
are contemplate, and il is not even
quite sure that they are not a delib-
crate attempt to deprive the Entente
nations of American supplies in order
to cause discomfort and unrest among
them. I have studied the food ques-
ton in Germany attentively all through
the war, and ! am firmly convinced
that there Is no cruelty in leaving
Germany to her own resources until
next spring. She will not be any worse
off than she has been for years, and
as for being driven TO Bolshevism,"
as the favorite argument of her new
rulers runs, 1 think that theory has
already been sufficiently exploded
Allies Require L. $. Supplies
TO my mind, American supplies are
urgently required. not in Germany,
but in the Entente countries; and not
supplies of food alone. but of all the
necessities of life. The cost of living
has steadily increased in England,
France and Italy during the gigantic
struggle against kaiserism and is be-
coming the cause OF comprehensive
discomfort among the poorer classes
submarines are lying helpless in Brit
ish waters today, but hundreds of thou.
sands of women and children in all
the Allied countries are still suffering
from the effects Of their ruthless raids.
Americas most important mission In
Europe, now that the war is over,
should consist in bringing down the
cost OF living in the Entente countries
portatlon of food and goods of all
kinds on a vast scale. All the ships
originally destined to bring over Amer
lean troops and ammunition can now
be used TO transport these supplies
the arrival of which will have an i'm.
effect on European market
prices. To reduce the general cos;
OF living in the Entente countries as
quickly as possible is also the surest
way TO defeat Germany's lrsidious :
plans 80 'urninu @otoar into victory by /
Bolshevism throughout .
Europe.

the German plan to cheat them ot

germs OF Bolshevism among then
exists nevertheless. and tho intrlguers
at Berlin are sparing neither pains

IL has caused general surprise tina,
the revolutionary rulers OF Germany
have until now maintained most OF
the Kaiscr's ambassadors and all OF
the officials of the Old imperial lega =

this tolerance is simple enough. All

under the Kaiser's government one
of their most important tasks was the
introduction of inflammatory revolt

The new democratic" rulers of
Germany cannot afford to dispense
with the valuable services of these eX.

Willingly obeying the commands OF

at the German legation at Berne, all
