IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Glidden Graphic: Frank O. Low
denis boom for president is taking on
life size. He is OF the proper timber
and ought to have the support OF Iowa
republicans. Al least Lowden under
stands the farmrcs' needs better than
the present incumbent.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: The gov
eminent tells us now that the ten
dency' of prices is lower. Our own ob-
servation on this point is that the
lower tendency" is correct but 1t
means the lower extremities Of our al
ready attenuated purses.
Perry Chief: The man who an
nounces his candidacy for the pres1-
dency of the United States at this
time has one needed quality-he has
nerve.
Waverly Independent Republican,:
1t seems to be quite fashionable TO
write learned editorials on the subject
of reducing the war time cost of shoes
and clothing Maybe those editorials
do some good; but the best that we
can suggest to reduce the costs OF
shoes and clothing is to wear the OLD
ones for a year or two longer. The eel.
torials may help some, but the OLD
clothes reach the spot at once.
Burlington Hawkeye: The age limit
for teachers has been reduced, owing
to the teacher shortage. Girls oil ~
are getting certificates now. After all
age has little to do with it. You may
find an occasional girl or boy VINO
can teach at IA, And there are many,
and some of them are working at 1t.
who never learn it.
Waterloo Times Republican: DE-.
Mayo says we're going to live fifteen
years longer pretty soon. Why the
delay? If it doesn't come along pretty
soon some of us are not going to be
here.

A FAKE SCARE. :"
-Bellview.

Propaganda is being distributed by those
who favor the adoption by the senate OF the
peace treaty and the league covenant without
change, calculated to throw a scare into some Oh
.our tind heads Of industry. The word is be-
ING sent broadcast that some members or the
cabinet take a gloomy view OF the actual trade
situation that may be created IN the event OF
such an attitude on the part OF the senate as is
contemplated that is, to append drastic reser-
vatons to the treaty IN order to Amencanlze
#. and that the administration is taking no
steps to secure proper representation Tor the
United States in any matters arising under the
peace treaty until it is known whether or not
we are to get full status under the agreement.
One of the statements of this propaganda

q failure to ratify or amendment In such
measure as practically to kill the document, or
the adoption Of reservations such as to change
It's meaning would mean that the United States
would practically not become party TO the
agreement and would, accordingly, suffer very
distinct injuries. Among these would be the
loss of Germany's agreement not to d1scrlmln-
ate against US in a tariff way and her promise
to give our shipping the same treatment as
that of German ownership. The undertaking

American property in Germany and our pre-
war claims Senator Hitchcock also argues
that we would lose our right to retain the Ger
man shipping, aggregatng more than five hun
dred thousand tons which was left IN our ports,
and that we would also lose our immunity for
the use Of German patents during the war 10
this should be added that we presumably should
not become a member Of the reparatlon commls
sion, whose duty it will be to direct the course
Of trade between Germany and other countries "
This is the crassest sort of buncombe. In the
{ first place, Germany would not dare discrlm-
mate against the United States in the matter
OF tariff rates. The aggregate OF our exports
to Germany for the five years preceding the out
break of the European war, 191O-l4 inclusive,
totaled one billion, five hundred and twenty
million, five hundred thousand dollars, o. an
annual average of something over three hun

If there is any sect, faction or group entirely
discredited by present facts, 1T is the make
work. theorists There are people who pro-
pose to lessen our working hours per capita SO
that there may be work enough for all. 2 a
little common sense in examining our present
situation would bring from any candid person
admission that there is work for all and more
of it than ''all'' are now doing. There is no
need of harping on the state of things that eX-
listed on our farms the past summer; everybody
knows that big as our harvests were they might
have been much larger if there had been labor
to supply the demand for it. Everywhere we
hear calls for speeding up our production. This
means more work to be done. And II we &c
not do more work and produce more, the bot
tom will fall out from our whole Industrial
structure IF we are to maintain high labor
costs, there must be heavy production to show
for it. Our home market is bothered far more
today by underconsumption than overproduc-

commodities and buy much greater variety

leved, the market for our products IS immense
and worldwide. And yet we have theorists
with us who fear for opportunity for workers
to find work to do. Where is the foundation III
fact for any such apprehension? thoughtful
leaders of both labor and capital are calling for
greater production all along the line. This IS
right and our best safety. 1t remains for labor
and capital to work out the production by which
this greater production is achieved. Certainly
it will not be accomplished by diminishing our
labor power.

RED CROSS HOME SERVICE
OFFERED FOR TREATMENT

Among the sufferers, and the fami

ed States, it seems to be not very we'll
known that the government plan in
cludes compensation for mental disa-
bilities as we'll as for physical This
does not mean shell-shock-it means
Just what it says-mental disabilities,
either incurred during the period of
service. or aggravated from dormant
causes during the term of sevice.
About $4,000 such cases now are
being treated by the government,
which has established number of
important hospitals where highly
specialized treatment is going for
ward. In anyp afr of the country,
properly established claim for help in
this connection will be promptly met
tby the government. The simplest
way of getting such a claim estab-
lshed through the Home Service de
partment of the American Red Cross;
application may be made at any Red
Cross office or chapter or branch, and
it will be referred to the proper bu-
reau.
1t is probable that the $4,000 cases
of mental disability now under treat
ment represent only about 60 percent

enlightening things about the draft
