Industrial Democracy

Harry F.. Ward in the World Outlook.
 In the international relations of capt tai and labor, a sinister fact must be faced. It has been openly said and writ ten in Great Britain by representatives of the financial and employers interests that the compelling reason why labor must be given larger share in the con trol of industry is in order that Great Britain may be able to make a better fight in the economic war after tho war. If world markets are to be captured and unoccupied fields of investment con- trolled by Britain, there must be fullest mobilization of forces with no friction from industrial dispute,
 So the argument runs, and 1t begins to be heard in this country Those who make such plans would use industrial democ- racy within the nation as a weapon Of aggression against other nations. They would establish a measure of peace be tween capital and labor nationally, in order to make them allies in interna- tional economic war.
 This kind of industrial democracy does not satisfy the Christian ideal. Chris tianity has programme of world broth erhood. It's goal is the abolition of war in industry as well as on the battlefield. The industrial democracy which it's prin- cipies require is not patched-up truce between capital and labor for the sake of national aggression, but a cooperative arrangement between all the peoples of the world for their mutual development. Before the antagonism between capital and labor can be fully removed. before the labor problem can be settled on the Chris tian basis, the world must be taught to regard industry and finance not simply al a field for private gain. but as an op- portunity for mutual service.

HALTS SHIPPING
TO GREAT BRITAIN
NO MORE AMERICAN VESSELS TO
Sc SENT ACROSS BECAUSE
OF STRIKE.
The Congestion Of Ports Resulting
from Strike and the British Bunker
Coal Order Stops saiIings Of
American Craft.

WaslIington.--Shipp In American
ports. so far as IL concerns shipping
board vessels with cargoes consigned
10 ports of the United Kingdom, is at
standstill because OF the strike OF
british railway workers.
Suspension Of the sailngs of all
vessels under lis control To ports of
England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales
was announced Monday by the ship
ping board through the making public
of an order issued late Saturday night
when the railroad strike became GER
iainty.

ING receipt of information from its
representatives in England as 10 con-
ditions in the ports there and after
the issuance of the British order pro-
hibting the furnishing of bunker coal
10 any ships other than outbound Brit
ish vessels.
While shipping board vessels nllo-
Gated to the United Kingdom trade
constitute only about one-half of the
American tonnage engaged IN that
trade, the congestion of ports result
ing from the strike and the British
bunker coal order are expected to stop
eventually, should the strike continue
the sailings of all American craft TO
the British isles.
Shipping board officials refused ia
comment on the effect the suspensions
could have on the gradual accumula-
ton and resultant congestion, and at
the railroad administration ii was said
that each aspect of the situation would
be dealt with when 1t arose.
Sailings of British vessels from
American ports to ports of the United
Kingdom have not been suspended, but
the shipping boards order would indi
cate that such ii step was being com
templated even ON the eve OF the
strike.

Paris.-Apparently in emulation OF
Captain Gabrielle D'Annunzio, whose
dramatic seizure of Fiume conferred
the attention of the world on the
eastern littoral of the Adriatic, other
Italian leaders are reported To be ad-
vancing on Spalato, Sabenico and Trau,
important towns along the coast which
have been under the control of Jugo-
Slav forces. Peace conference circles
are plainly concerned over the situa-
ton, which seems to have become
quite grave
Belgrade advices declare Italian sol
diers have overpowered small JuSo-
Slav force at Toguire and have en-
tered the town. Further south there
appear also to be disorders, reports
from Rome indicating there is Il vir-
tual reign of terror at Ragusa, a Dali
NATHAN town close to the frontier of
Montenegro.
In addition there are rumorS that
the Italians plans TO restore King Mich
olas TO the Montenegrin throne, from
which he was ousted by action of the
national assembly last April. This ac-
| lion by the national assembly has
never been recognized by the royal
Montenegro government. which has
maintained its headquarters near Paris
for several months. King Nicholas is
the father OF Queen Helena of Italy.

FOOD REGULATIONS IN ENGLAND
Estimated. There Is Fourteen Weeks
Food Supply Available.

l.ondon.-This city today faces more
strict rationing than for year. Reg
ulations which were winlled at even
before the armistice,, when supplies
started coming in in large quantities,
today were clamped down hard on all
kinds of meats and butter and sugar.
Cured meats, which were only slightly
rationed during the war, have been
placed in the same category as other
meats. Fish was not placed under the
rationing edict, but the lack of trans
portation Is affecting the supply.
1t Is roughly estimated that there Is
a fourteen weeks food supply in the
country, If it Is conserved. Restaur-
ants have eliminated butter from their
menus and restricted bread to one roll
per meal. The familiar miniature war
steaks are again in evidence.
