HAWKER AND GRIEvE

By a great piece OF good luck Hawkcr
and Grieve. the daring avlators who at
tempted a flight across the ocean. were
rescued and landed on English soil,
where they have been greeted as heroes.
Pessimlsts may dccry such daring ad-
ventures as the flight across the Atlantic
and ask what good comes from the reck-
less expenditure Of life. but it is only in
the willingness to take risks that men
advance. Scores, perhaps hundreds, may
perish in attempting to do the hard
things which finally one succeeds in do
ing, and the success OF one in the long
run means the success Of many.
The dangerous and difficult things OF
today are the easy and common things
Of tomorrow. But some daring pioneer
must blaze the way. Some must risk
and die that others may follow. Hawker
and Grieve have measurably shown the
possibility Of crossing the ocean
through aerial flight and there will be
many others TO try to do the thing which
they so boldly tried, and so narrowly
missed.
The world progresses through the
courage Of men like these.

THE ALLIES READY

The American army has stopped its
withdrawal from German territory and
preparations are being made for further
advances IL Germany fails to sign the
peace treaty. 1t is probable that the
demonstrations Of readiness on the part
Of the Allies will, after all, provo moth
ing more than a threatening gesture. .
sign Of what may happen should the
Hun prove stubborn and ugly. Day by
day there is greater reason to believe
that Germany will mako the best Of the
situation and sign the peace treaty. The
necessities Of German politics must not
be overlooked. Ebert, Scheidemann and
their associates cannot appear to sur
render German interests too easily. pbey
will have'Ao dicker. to trade and to de-
mand concessions while they are prepar-
ing Germany for the acceptance Of peach
terms. In the meanwhile, however, dis
tinct proofs Of the readiness Of the AL
lied armies to move forth into Germany
may be very persuasive to German re-
calcitrants.

Nor" ,hun i"ur-iifths Of the workers
IN American Industries are employed in
occuputIuus for which no systematic
training is practicable, either given by
the industries through appr"ntIccshlpS
or through amy public agency such as
tin. schools. Whore training IS made
uuatc The worker Is obviously handi-
CAPPED. Here - an immense Held de-
nIundluS ihc attention Of the. department.
Uf labor, since tn" act creating That de-
par, m,nt specifies among its duties IN"
promoting Of opportunities for the proht-
able employment of workers, and
workers who do not understand their
work cannot be- proiitably employed. Just
as the department Of agriculture helps
the farmer the department OF labor has
the duty and privilege Of fostering. pro-
noting and developing the welfare of the
wage CarucrS-to use the phraseology OF
the law.
Until the war taught ceytain indus
trial concerns in this country the value
of Industrial training there was rcla-
lively little effort on the part Of most
employers TO fit workers for their jobs.
By industrial training is meant bri"f
practical courses conducted in. plants 10
systematically teach employees the best
methods of performing their respective
tasks, and in general trades the sys-
tematization OF apprentice training.
training department is designed TO benc-
fit both new and old employees. 1t helps
start tho new worker right, and 1t Is a
means Of upgrading old employees from
time to time and fitting them for promo
ton.
There are two reasons why employers
must discard their old haphazard way
OF starting workers on their jobs and,
instead. train them Systematically. First,
America is going TO meet competition
from Europe such as sho has never met
before. We have been superior TO Eu'
rope in matters permitting quantity pro-
duction. but European manufacturers
arc fast learning our methods in that
particular. while in nearly every country
Of Europe syst cmatic trade training is
customary.
The second reason why we must dis
card our old haphazard methods Of de-
veloping workrrs-if 1t can be called d.
veloping-is that the workers in Amer
lea arc demanding more than they did
before the war. Recently a noted ccono-
mist in q paper delivered before the con-
ference Of governors at the White House
! showed clearly why prices will remain
at high level. And prices affect not
only the purchase Of raw materials, hut
also the cost Of living for workers Tho
virtue OF the industrial training theory
which the department OF labor through
the training service, advocates is that /,
accommodates alike many problems OF
the manufacturer and the demands OF
the workers. The solution 1t provides is

MIR. WILSON AND
PROHIBITION

Rev. A. r. Wood. superintendent Of
the Anti-Saloon League. said in an ad-
dress in New York City that President
Wilson'S recommendation for the aboli-
,ten Of wartime prohibition was a po-
litical trick. intended TO cmbarrass the
Republican party. 1t Is always danger
ous TO attempt TO read other peoples
minds and to determine other peoples
objects. Mr.. Wilson may be conscien-
tiously opposed to prohibition. On no
other ground can his plea against the
wartime enactments be satisfactorily
explained. Mr.. Wilson's chief supporter
in public life. Samuel Gompers. takes
the position that wine and beer are nee
essary for the workIngnan OF America
and Mr. Wilson may reflect Mr.. Comp
ers' view.
However this may be. the practical
experience Of communities in which pro-
hibition has been enforced does not sus-
tain Mr. Gompers' position. and the
conscience Of the American people will
not approve OF Mr.. Wilson's proposal.
prohibition has become the national pol
icy. It win soon be an accepted fact
from ocean to ocean, and an attempt. at

FRENCH FINANCES

French financiers are disturbed by the
constant fall Of the franc in exchange
value. France has been buying heavily
Of the worlds supplies Of food and OF
raw material, and as a result she Is pay
ing large sums abroad in money for re-
turn in merchandise. 1t is probable
that France will be compelled to geek
very considerable loans from friendly
countries in order to re-establish her
financial condition. The hundreds of
millions Of dollars worth Of goods and
food which We are sending to France
have created a trade balance against
her which cannot be easily paid in gold.
The continued falling Of the franc in
value may soon nccessitate the appear
ance of the French government as a
heavy borrower in american markets.
