Ambassador Wallace to Report Pro-

Paris, Dec. 10.-The supreme coun-
Gil at Tuesdays session, the last be-
fore the departure of its American
member, Undersecretary of State Polk,
failed to settle the question of the
continuation of the supreme war coun-
Gil.
The consent of the United States
has not been given to the original
plan. The question now will be re-
ferred direct to the various govern
ments.
Ambassador Wallace will sit in such
meetings of the supreme council as
may be held to deal with the Hungari-
an peace treaty and other unfinished
business, but will have no initial au-
thOrity to act. He will report the pro-
ceedings TO Washington and act on in
structions received from there.
At the close of the councils session
Premier Clemenceau expressed regret
over Mr.. Folks departure.
Roumania is expected to become a
party to the peace treaties with Aus
tria and Bulgaria. Her plenipotenti-
aries, it is stated, will sign the treaty
in connection with the Austrian pact
providing for the protection of racial
minorities and will attach their sig
natures to the Bulgarian treaty.

PLEA FOR MORE PRODUCTION
Concluding Remarks of Secretary of
Labor Wilson's Annual Report
Are of Vital Interest.

Washington, Dec. 10.-In the con-
Guiding paragraphs of the annual re-
port of Secretary of Labor Wilson,
made public today, are to be found
some remarks that should be read
with interest and profit by people Of
all classes. Commenting on the exist
ing problems of wages and cost of
living, he says:
"There are but two ways by which
the general standard of living of the.
wage Garner can be improved. One is
by increased productivity, making
more material available for wages.
The other is by taking the means of
increased compensation out of the
profits of the employer. If wages are
increased and profits remain the same
the burden is passed on to the con-
Stunning public in the form of an in
creased cost of living and comes back
to the wage worker himself. No por-
tion of improved living standards can
come out of the profits of the employ,
ers unless there is prOfiteering.
"And what gives the opportunity for,
profiteering? The very conditions that
we are confronted with tOday-the de-
structive agencies of war, the disar-.
rangement of industry and commerce.
and the unrest and high nervous ten
sion of our people, resulting in short
age of supply as compared with de-
mand. The whole world is interested
In returning to the highest productive
efficiency, having due regard to the
health, safety and opportunities for
rest. recreation and improvement of
those who toll. The more productive
we are the sooner we shall abolish
opportunities for profiteering.
