43 HOURS A WEEK IN METAL
 INDUSTRY ADVISABLE

Boston, June PA report issued by the national industrial conference board today said that an investiga ton of the metal manufacturing industries indicated it was possible for "a con- siderable proportion of establishments to maintain production on schedule of 90 hours per week. but that such schedule ''could not be universally adopted by these industries without some loss in production"
 Of the 4S hour week the report said If both management and workers would actively co-operate" such week might prove practicable in a larger number of establishments than is now the case. But unless such CO., operation is secured there can be little question that the general adoption of a 4S hour week in the metal trades would involve a serious economic loss to the nation" 3 Of 66 establishments which re- duced to a 50 hour week" the report said, -four reported production as in creased. 2S as maintained and 34 as reduced. In the case of 4S hour week a smaller proportion of establishments reported production as maintained. and several of these were not representa- 1 tive"

COMMENT. OF FRENCH PRESS
 ON SIGNING OF PEACE TREATY

Paris, June 29.-AH1id the chorus of triumphant joy in the French press over the signing of the peace treaty the only frankly censorious note is that of Marcel Cachin. the socialist leader. Writing in Humanite, he said:
 ''The peoples were absent from the ostentatious ceremony in the Hall of Mirrors. The signatures are not those of their representatives. They take no part in this treaty It is not thus that they understand the future of civ- iliza ton and humanity
 Other radical journals like Le Radi- cal, Le Rappel and Libre Parole do not disguise their uneasiness over what they call the menace of Teutonic unregeneracy.
 "Muzzled they may be, but cured, never" says Le Radical. while Le Rappel declares:
 "Bismarck's military and diploma tic work is crumbled in dust, but his po- litical work remains"
 It adds that the greatest mistake of the allies was to have treated with Germany as an entity.
 On the other hand Jules Cambon in the Echo de Paris, points out that every peace has deceived some hopes but that this peace is the first al which the conquerors. united to decide the fate of the world. have begun by proclaiming that they were deter mined to make a righteous peace, tc repair past iniquities and to salveH the wounds of centuries.

Insofar as we came together to insure these things. the work of the confer ence is finished, but in a larger sense it's work begins today. In answer to an unmistakable appeal, the League of Nations has been constituted and a covenant has been drawn which shows the way to international understand ing and peace.
 ''We Stand at the crossroads. how ever, and the way is only pointed out, Those who saw through the travail of war the vision of world made secure for mankind must now consecrate their lives to its realization"
