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

Washington, Dec. lu-ln 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 he read
with interest and profit 10y people of
all classes. Commenting on the exist
ing problems of wages and cost of liN-
ing. he says:
There are but two ways by which
the general standard of living of the
wage Garner can Ice 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 prof
its of the employer. If wages are
Increased and profits remain the same
the burden is passed on 10 the con
suming public in the form of an in
creased cost of living and comes back
to the wage worker himself. No por-
ton of improved living standards can
come out of the profits of the employ
ers unless there is ~profiteering.
And what gives the opportunity for
profitecring The very conditions that
we are confronted with today-the de-
Structivc agencies of war. the disar-
rangrmcnt of industry and commerce,
and the unrest and high nervous Ten
sion of our people. resulting in a short
= of supply rs compared with de-
mand. The whole world * Interested
IN returning to the highest productive
efficiency, having duc regard 10 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 pr~ofiteering. There
can be no ~protiterring where there is
a free flow of material from producer
To consumer. 1t is only where the pro
duction is not sufficient for the needs
of the people or where artificial OBJ
StructionS impede proper distribution
that there is any possibility of prof
iteering."
Finally Secretary Wilson urges the
exercise of the utmost tolerance and
the maximum Of good will and mutual
iorbcarance in the efforts to adjust
the many labor troubles that are dis
the country.

DANIELS ON NAVY WORK
Secretary's Annual Report Relates at
Length the Fine Record of Our
Sea Forces.

Washington, Dee. S.-The annual re
port of Secretary of the Navy Daniels,
made public today, is a long and chat
ty relation of the efficient work OF
| the sea forces of the United States dur
ing the great war and since the sign
ing Of the armistice. Much space is
devoted To the record made by the
navy in Transporting troops to ana
from Europe, and full credit Is given
il for its excellent WORK in actual war
fare and / cleaning up the great mine
field which it had laid in the North
sea
As for rehabilitation, Mr.. Daniels
believes this is being accomplished
without the sacrifice of national spir-
it, unity or force" He says:
1.-TWO fundamental principles have
been constantly borne in mind:
"Q There must be and there has
been no loss of adaptibility to new and
expected issues. The readiness TO hit
and to hit hard, which won the plaud-
its of the allies ut the very outset,
has been preserved In every detail of
change and REIMBURSEMENT. The navy is
returning TO a peace basis, but 1t is
conserving the power that enabled it,
and will again enable it to meet with
unweakened sinews any crisis that
may arise. Security for the future,
though an uncertain future, has for a
moment been los sight of.
"(2) There must be and there has
been no loss of symmetry or whole
ness in the naval organization. A re-
duced personnel has not been allowed
to mean Representatives. or dispropor-
tion in whole or in part. As a vast
machine, as n national organization, as
II complex or interacting agencies, the
navy is in form and spirit a unity, not
Il fraction"
The story of naval aviation is long
and interesting, but contains little that
is not already n matter of common
knowledge. Like Secretary of War Ba-
ker, Mr.. Daniels is opposed to the crea-
ton of n separate air service.
Here is what the report says of a
that has aroused considerable
public anxiety:
THE attraction of higher pay In the
merchant marine has caused the navy
TO lose many men, many petty officers,
and not n few warrant and commits
Officers. This has made il i'm
to fully man all the ships.
This loss has been greater than num-
bers indicate, because those who have
left the navy were experienced and
qualified, while the recruits now en-
must be trained before they are
for the NOSE important duties.
The high wages paid to machinists,
electricians and other skilled men in
Industries has prevented the
navy's securing new men in the ratings
most needed. 1t Is 10 be hoped Con-
will increase the compensation
so that many Of these men will
n suitable inducement to ~re-enter
he naval service"

Western Newspaper Union News Service.

London, Dee. S.-Gustav NOske, min
lister of defense, is determined not to
sign the peace protocol handed Ger
many by the entente, and is resolved
to recommend that the government
adopt his attitude, come what may, ac-
cording to an interview with Noske.
Il can not speak for the whole gov
eminent, because it has not yet come
TO IL decision" sad Noske. "But
shall recommend IL refusal 10 sign the
peace treaty protocol.
THE limit has long been reached.
Let the allies occupy the country if
they like. The peace now presented
to us is not peace, but IL p~rolongation
of the war.
Were such Il treaty accepted the
German nation would rise up and
avcnge itself upon the men who signed
it and it would be right. Great Britain

The correspondent says that, al
though NoSke carefully emphasized
that he was only defining his own po-
sition, his words agreed with the in
tent ON ascribed to the other members
of the cabinet.
The two straws which NOske rep
resents as having broken the back of
German endurance, says the CORE
spondent, are the demand for dock and
harbor material and the protocol en-
towering the allies to enforce the eX-
ecution of the peace treaty.
The correspondent says that during
his talk with Noske he suggested that
If the Germans had not sunk the war
ships in the Scapa Flow, the demand
of the allies for tugs and docks would
not have been made. To this, he says,
Noske replied:
"Oh, yes, they would. The British
would have invented some prcteXt.
