WAGES AND PRICES OF PRODUCTS
BY WILLIAM Ii. WILSON,
Secretary OF Labor.

There has been u great deal OF hys-

Tho necessities Of tho war compelled

chips under construction for merchant
purposes than any other country In tho
provided tho three great elements nee
cssary for tho development of a for

ton and our business men begin to
look abroad for a market for tho sur

OF viiaiiZinG these agencies that arc
already In existence.
Our problem resolves Itself. for tho
Time being. into one OF rehabilitation,
pre-war actlvity--a postwar basis
There have been some difficulties In
connection with that problem. At tho
time we entered into the war nearly all
OF our people were actively employed
practically all except tho floating por-
our periods of industrial activity
II has been stated on many occasions
by statistical experts that even during
our periods OF industrial activity we
had in the neishborhood OF 1000. 600
workers unemployed, That represents
the turnover of labor, the individual
istic type. dissatisfied with his condi-
tons: he Is either unable or unwillinr
to engage with his associates In a col,
lcctive protest 1t is u decided loss:
nevertheless IL has existed and our
judgment has been that Il has existed
because we have the highest ideals eX-
listing among any people on earth
Whencvr the surrounding circun-
stances of Il people are not equal Ia
their ideals there is n spirit OF unrest,
and hence the desire on the part of a
large number Of people 10 move on and
on and on. in the hope OF securing some
place where they may achieve their
ideals.

Sinis OF tho Navy


NICE-ADMIRAL WILLIAM 8. SIMS, who
was in supreme command OF tho Ameri-
can naval forces abroad during the period
OF the war, has been heartily welcomed home.
Many thousands OF his Acknowledged
have participated in the reception. The<Nayy
Department, wishing to honor this splendid
officer, greeted him at sea with fleet of
aircraft, another OF surface craft and still
another with undersea craft. The tribute of
admiration paid the vice admiral is merited
by every standard which measures faithful
and successful service.
This officer was probably the first Ameri-
can outpost in the war. He arrived at his
station in England before the army began to
move. He arrived before the navy was ready
to function, and he remained there month
in and month out directing the vast and
hazardous operations OF the American naval
forces in foreign waters. The ships under
his command served their country and the
allies as gallantly any military unit which
saw service in this war.
American naval officers abroad mod estly
disclaim any great credit for the work of
our ships. They say that, after ALL the
American sea fighters composed no more
than 10 per cent of the total naval armament
arrayed against Germany, and it u.s. therefore,
too much for Americans to claim that they
were the instrumentalties which brought
the British officers generously reply that it
is quite true that the American force was
only 10 per cent Of the total but the fact
remains that the decline of the submarine
did not actually begin until that 10 per cent
established itself in British waters and began
to transact business.
Be that as it may the IMPORTANT circum-
stance is that the submarine was conquered
1t failed to win the war as Germany had
planned and to which end it threw off all
restraint, even though It knew at the time
that the removal Of restrictions would mean
war with America. While the undersea
pirates we're. being pursued and driven to
their death by the relentless fleet of allied
destroyers, the capital ships Of the British
and American nayies were standing guard
every hour of the day and night over the
North Sea. making it impossible for the Ger
man Meet to be destructive factor in the war
Too much praise cannot be given to the
destroyer and chaser forces which Vice
Admiral Sims commanded. They worked
heroicaily and with an astonishing success
but the American people should not forget
the equally e1acting service of the larger
ships which united their strength with the
British and maintained the terrible vigil in
the northern waters. Their work was less
picturesque than that Of the destroyers but
1t was not less useful II any material part
OF the German fleet had put to sea as com
merce raiders they might have caused dam
age which the U-boats sought to achieve
and failed.
In honoring Vice-Admiral Sims, the conn
try likewise is honoring all the brave sailors
who went through the ordeal of war in seas
5000 miles from home base.
