PLAN FAMILY BUDGET
TO INCLUDE SAVINGS

The arrangement of personal bud
gets Of the wage earners Of the United
States to include a fixed amount for
saving is made by Secretary Of abor
William B. Wilson. BY putting that
practice into effect, Secretary Wilson
said many a family would find the
nest egg which would start them on
the road to q competence.
Secretary Wilson said:
"To many thousands of Americans.
the war has brought habits of thrift
When the government issued it's sue
cessive calls for funds to carry on
the war, the people nubly responded.
People who never seriously tried 70
regulate their expenses with a view
to setting aside fixed amount for
savings, have, in response to the gov
ernment's call for assistance, estab-
lished that item in their personal
budgets, and thus Under pressure Of
their country's need, they have ac-
quired a. habit Of thrift that will
bring it's reward in improved con-
dition of life, a feeling Of independ-
ence and greater security. Continued
opportunity for keeping up the habit
Of saving is afforded by the govern
ment's offering of Thrift Stamps and
War Savings Stamps. Many a fam
lily will find in the accumulation o.
these obligations of the government,
the little nest egg that will start them
on the road to competence"

:CLEMEhCEAu PRAISED
BY SOCIALIST PAPER

While American socialists are snip
ing at Premier Clemenceau of France
it is interesting to read the views OF
al Socialist party, edited by H. M.
Hyndman, England's veteran social
ist leader. Says Justice:
1--WE cannot comprehend the atti-
tude of most French Socialists to-
wards M. Clemenceau. They are
Frenchmen, when all is said, and
most of them are proud of being
called by that great name. Yet they
seem to have no good word for the
one Frenchman who, more than any
other, has saved France from being
crushed under the heel of Germany.
"A nice position Lonquet, Cachin &
Co., would have been in if their pei
capitalist champion. M. Cailliaux, had
been able to get his way, and ths
Junker militarists. with their kaiser
became masters Of France. That is
the way to look at it. Clemenceau
has made mistakes Men of his char
acter generally do, as he himself
has often admitted.
But when all looked black for
France; when, in the rear as at the
front, dangers were gathering thick
and three-fold; when Huysmans, as
secretary Of the international, wa;
travelling about Europe assuring ev.
erybody that, according to his certain
knowledge, the allies could not pos
sibly beat Germany, and more thar
one leading English politician was
ready to patch up peace of surren'
der-when all this was the truth o
the position Clemenceau, in Noven,.
ber, 1917. took upon his aged shout
ders all the risks and burdens of ;
desperate responsibility.
France led by him. and loyalty ant
| wonderfully helped throughout b,
America has won. The allies are vic
tors and Clemenceau is the hero o
the great war. It is no fault of thi
great Frenchman that the peace ha
been delayed and is not all that i
ought to be.
For our part. having done as mucl
| to help forward the cause of Socialism
as any Social-Democrats in the world
we loyalty congratulate Georges Clem
enceau upon the magnificent work h
has done for the triumph of democra
cy and freedom.

LIMIT PROFITS BEFORE
WAGES ARE STABILIZED

Wages can not be stabilized until
profits are limited, is the view of
Justice McCawley, president Of the
industrial arbitration court of Aus
tralia in his sugar industry award.
The government sets The prices
which sugar cane producers may Sci,
their products. This is based on the
cost of production, the government
fixing the price for which the work.
ers shall sell their labor power.
There is no regulation over manu-
facturers and retailers and this is the
leak, according to Justice McCawley,
who says:
UNLESS the efforts Of the industrial
courts to give fair wages are supple
mented by some system which will
enable the employe to be supplied
with food and clothing at what it
costs to produce and distribute them
efficiently, the discomfort of the en-
ploye must grow. The sweater may
have gone, but the profiteer is still
with u.s.

RATIFY THE TREATY.

Readjustment of the worlds eco
nomic and industrial conditions,
which were so badly dislocated by
the war, is impossible so long as
there are fears and doubts as to IN
ternational relations in the immed
late future. The establishment of
a dozen governments in Europe, the
boundaries between new nations, the
resumption of commerce with the
late belligerents, the extension of
credits and a. hundred other no less
vital problems depend upon the
conclusion of peace.
There can be no real. stable pros
perity without peace. There can be
no peace until the treaty between
Germany and all the countries with
which she was at war is an accom-
plished fact. The present status
of uncertainty is sure to produce un-
rest among peoples everywhere and
consequent disturbance of business.
The biggest and most powerful ma
tion in the world-the United States
lis seriously affected by it's pres
ent position in the twilight between
portant factor in the finance and
trade of the world the United States
must be free to return to it's tasks
at home and abroad before Europe
and South America can find them
selves.
The New York World correctly
diagnoses the present economic situa-
ton when it says editorially:
There can be no approach to nor
NAL conditions in this country until
the treaty of peace is out Of the way
and the work of liquidating the war
has become the chief concern of
government as we'll as of the victims
of the existing situation. Business
Of all kinds is largely speculative
because of indefiniteness ana uncer-
tainty, and gambling has to be paid
for by somebody. In this case it is
paid for by the consumer, who must
take care of both gains and losses"
Let the senate ratify the treaty
and approve the covenant of the
League of Nations. That act alone
will stabilize the world. It will turn
the peoples thoughts from war. II
will turn the peoples thoughts from
war. 1t will restore the psychology
of peace.
Ratify the treaty!

SAYS union SHOP CHEATS
WORLD OF new DEMOCRACY

Organized coal miners in the New
River field, near Charleston, w. Va,
who have just secured a unionshop
contract are laughing at the shrieks
of the West Virginia Mining News,
which demands 1.-The abolition of the
closed shop"
did we not send 100000 fight
ing Americans to Europe last, year
to make the world safe for democ-
racy?'" this editor howls. "Does not
our constitution guarantee every man
security in his person and property:
Aye, aye. but yonder in our national
capital, sworn to uphold the const;-
tuition and execute the laws, is a
group of men seeking, with the ad-
ministrative machinery placed in
their hands by the people Of the
country, to fasten unionism upon the
country
The editor bristles with feathers
and war paint and calls on business
men to unite against trade unionism.

BEATING THE WORLD AGAIN.

BEATING THE WORLD AGAIN.
Basil Manly says he finds that 80
corporations which In pre-war years
had an average profit Of $325,000,-
900 jumped the figure in 1916 to
$1,000, 100000 and in 1918 latter
the deduction of state and federal
taxes and of every conceivable
charge which they could devise for
reducing and concealing their appar-
ent profits, they still had left $780,
1000, an increase of more than
100 per cent"
It is said that one flour mill made
million by profiteering for which
burst of enterprise IL was compelled
to turn over a million dollars worth
of flour to the food administration
No doubt American profiteers can
beat the world at profiteering, il
they put their minds to it. Which
to say that America beats the
world in the game Of burglary
There will be no satisfaction for tht
great masses of people, however
until America beats the world in
prevention of this meanest of all
professions"

NOT THUS DO WE REACH
SAFETY,

In its coAumn of editorial para
graphs the New York World pub
fishes the following comment:
While Judge Gary is probably right
in saying that the country never had
a better chance to prosper, he
probably will admit that it also faces
many fine opportunities to raise the
devil.
In the editorial columns of the
same issue the World published this
editorial, entitled Cheap shoes-for
Export:
A day or two after the published
threat OF still another jump in the
price of shoes an advertisement ap-
peared in the Journal of Commerce
of 100000 pairs of mems arctics and
10000 pairs of mems shoes, "Ready
| to Ship at Once Direct From Our Own
Factories" for export, at prices that
excite curiosity.
There were, for instance, $1,000
pairs of mems work shoes at So,
made two full soles, solid leather in
soles and counter, solid lift heels.
Other work shoes are offered at
$2.25, $2.35, $3.50 and $3.50. The
highest price quoted is $5.75 a pair
for mems gunmetal calf high-grade
shoes" The fair sex is not forgot
ten; two of the twelve items provide
it with kid shoes at 1926 and "welt
oxford and high shoes at $1.75 a
pair.
After all possible allowances are
made for retail risk and profit there
remains between these export prices
and those the American public il
forced to pay gap too wide to be
filled by any excuse, of trade
necessity.

GILLETT, THE NEW CZAR.

Republican leaders in congress,
though their memories appear to be
rather short, ought not to assume
that the people have forgot the des-
potic and reactionary tactics which
they punished eight years ago by
driving Cannon and Aldrich and
heir retinue from power. Czarism is
les popular now than it was in 1912.
Speaker Gillett SENS to have
learned little from the history of the
last decade. He is turning back to
the practices. as his party also is re-
yerting to. the standards, of an age
that is gone. The Democrats gave
the people a full share in the govern
ment, and there will be no tolerance
for the cabal or individual that at
tempts to substitute the sway Of a
persons or of group for popular
rule.
Whether Mr.. Gillett's ruthless de-
nial of former Speaker Clark's right
to be heard in behalf OF the country
was prompted by pique at the wreck
Ing of plans for adjournment of the
House of Representatives, or wheth-
sr it was inspired by the hope of pre-
venting an inquiry into the cost of
living is immaterial. It was bad
taste and poor policy. 1t was a
resurgenee of all that began by de-
feating the popular will and ended
by overthrowing the Republican ma

Such a possibility has been recog-

remoteness Of the tragic possibility.
