Dor Wilson. Frank A. Vanderlip. How

ganized Labor Movements. "A Mini
mum Standard of Living" "Co-opera-
tive Movement" Agricultural and
Migratory Labor" Racial Relations,
sibility of the Church in Industrial
Matters"
..If the principles of Christianity are
applied to the social and industrial
situation in America our problems
will be solved" DR.. Fisher said.
s"The church must insist that the
Christian ethics that have stood the
test of two thousand years and have
been the standard Of Christian CIV
ilization here and abroad must be ap-
piled to corporate as we'll as to indf-
vidual relationships.
Time for Taking Hand.
1T Is high time the church elements
of this country took a hand in the in
dustrial situation. We have been
adopting resolutions repeating plati-
tudes and drawing up statements Of
principles, the only result being to
take them from our archives and re-
wise them to suit some new crisis.
'The ex-bartender. politician. law
yer, employer, worker. farmer and
economist have had their say. The
church alone has been silent. This
apathy and aloofness on the part Of
the Christian organizations cannot
longer be permitted. The churches
must act.
'"The present problems transcend q
mere economic question. Great moral
issues are involved. The present
crisis is the inevitable outgrowth of
system Of industry operated for
profit rather than for human welfare.
There must be an application of the
Christian principles of stewardship of
power and possession"
The conference will close tomorrow
night.

of which $500, 100000 is to be made a
priority in the payments by Germany.
Americas loans to Belgium are to be

lated through no fault of her own.
Other important developments in
clude the announcement that China

the inclusion in the treaty of Austrian
independence but no estoppel of her
continued separation from Germany

anced. The announcement is made
that Austria has been directed to
send commissioners to Paris immedi.
ately.

CHINESE ENJOYS Do
SAY JAPS Hoo" IT ALL
GIVEN NO DETAIL OF SHANTUNG
SETTLEMENT WHEREBY JAP
AN MAY PROFIT.
"HEAOS Twin TAILS YOU LOSE"
It Has Ever Claimed eBfore-One
oq the Big Three-Enoiand,
U. S.-France to Rear.

Paris settlement of the Shantung
claims in favor of Japan promotes the
Nipponese to one of the big three
world powers, sharing this distinction
with the United States and Great
Britain, and dwarfing France, Ger
many. Austria and Italy, in the opin-
ion of the Chinese peace delegates. an
opinion also shared by students of the
political situation.
Japan is immeasurably strengthen
ed in every dimension, besides gain
ing infinite prestige through her
smashing victory over Wilson's IA
points" in obtaining the former Ger
man concessions OF Kiau Chau, as
well as other rights and special priv
ileges in China, it is believed.
China Issues Statement.
The Chinese press bureau has is
sued another statement on the Kiao-
Chau-Shantung settlement, as follows:
New light on the settlement of
the Kaio-Chau Shantung settlement
has made the Chinese delegation in
l..
stated that, though three days have
elapsed since the settlement by the
council was announced, no details OF
the settlement have reached the dele
CATION. While still waiting in sus-
pense, the delegation has learned with
surprise that clauses to be inserted
in the peace treaty relating to Shan
pected.
Lavish Gifts on Japan.
Japan is given everything Germa-
ny obtained from China by aggres-
sion and more. She is given all the
rights, titles or privileges concern
ing especially the territory of Kaio-
Chau and the railways, mines and
submarine cables Germany acquired
by virtue of the treaty of 1898 and of
all other acts concerning the province
of Shantung Japan is given all the
rights in the Using Tao China railway,
| its branches and the mines attached
, thereto, the submarine cables from
Using Tao to Shanghai and from
+, TsingTao to Chefoo, and all German
public property rights, movable and
immovable, in the territory of Kaio-
Chau. Although China has the best
| title to these rights, which are all on
Chinese territory, not a word is said
| in the draft clauses as to what rights
China may expect to recover for her
self. 1t is entirely with Japan to say
what she will be pleased to return
to China and what she will retain for
her own enjoyment.
Shantung a Chinese Province.
THE important fact seems to be
altogether ignored that Shantung is
a Chinese province, the territory of
a partner in the war on the side of
the allies and associated powers. The
TsingTao railway was built with Chi
nese and German private capital.
while the line of $50 miles is entirely
in Chinese territory. To substitute
Japan for Germanys rights in this
territory is to greatly endanger the
welfare and security of the Chinese
| republic, because Japan is much near
err to China than Germany, and be-
cause she already claims a sphere of
influence in Manchuria close to the
north of Shantung.

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

1t may still be said that larger
business operations are awaiting the

Smaller Profits in Mines.
Fourteen mines of the Occur
d'Alene region of Idaho yielded ST.
272,4S5 in net profits in 1918, accord
ing to statements filed with the au-
ditor of Shoshone county at Wal
lace This is comparable with net
profits of $12.765,113 by 20 compa-
MES in 1917 and with $12,154,620 by
II companies in 1916. Statements
for 1918 remain to be received from
- 'Oid iiuillti, dCh ~ Gus
ter and other companies, but their
net profits have not been sufficient
to increase the total to figures of
the last previous year. The reduc-
tions result from curtailments in pro-
duction and higher costs of opera
ton.
The gross receipts from IA mines
was $24,093, 2O3 in 1918, as compared
with s39,677,69S from 20 in 1917 and
S32,S00,79S from II in 1916. The
tonnage of 1918 was much less than
that OF the two last previous years.
The outlay for betterment and re-
pairs was less in 1918 than in sew
efal previous years. It included $92,-
240 by the Interstate Callahan. $780,
692 by the Hercules. 1921, 504 by the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan and $14,7OO
by the Yukon Gold company.
