Strong opposition to the discontinuance of
the United States employment service is be-
ing voted by labor officials in Washington
this week. In a statement analyzing the work
of the service and explaining the necessity
for it's continuance labor officials declared

OPPORTUNITY FOR AMERICAN ART

John Galsworthys optimism about the
future of American art must be taken as SIN
cere and not merely the fattery of after-din-
ner oratory. We are Eat the commence
ment," he says
of period of new and vigorous art. You
have material here in America for paint
ers and singers for drama and story, that
would drive us in England crazy. You
must, you simply must, paint, and tell Of
this amazing America in terms of revela-
ton and of beauty. Have faith and
jump.
In this material the distinguished British
author includes the WoolwOrth building.
Why, indeed, should not an American Dick
ems, native Victor Hugo or a Michelange1o
find inspiration in this glittering pile? The
great trouble, of course, is that it is too near
to afford a suitable perspective for the Amer
lean artist If it were in Europe, if it were
necessary to make a 3,000-mile pilgrimage to
observe it, hundreds of thousands of Ameri-
cans would cross the sea to extol this archi-
tectural monument. But the chances are
that any one of dozen commonplace cam
paniles or ruined towers in italy or England
will continue to stimulate more American
pens and paint-brushes.
And is not this the main obstacle to Ameri-
can art development generally? Europe must
supply the patterns, whether the work is of
the brush or chisel, drama or romance or
opera, Novelists seem to be getting away
foreign artists will come here and utilize this
wealth of material, precedent will be estab-
lished and the spell perhaps broken-New
York World.
"In one respect the French and English
soldiers did not make the sacrifice our boys
