Reviewing finally the remedial agencies
such as the small courts described AL
ready, the commissions which administer
matters OF workmen's compensation for
injury, the public defender for the relief
OF the poor charged with crime and the
legal aid societies, the report says:
AT the present time the legal aid
organizations in the United States will
be able to continue to care for a GER
tain number OF individual cases but
that Is not enough. To insure the wise
direction and development OF organized
legal aid work there are needed men
OF high calibre, endowed with wisdom
and courage, who fairly represent the
various elements in the community who
are concerned in this work Such
groups are the judges. the charities. the
cAU. ches, the employers, the labor
unions, the law schools and. above all.

TWO PROBLEMS

The high cost of living and the Labor
question have become and are, for somt
time, likely to remain serious and alarm
ing problems The price of commodities
is appallingly high and wages in this
country are higher than ever before and
higher than anywhere else in the world.
Only per cent of the workers of the
world arr in the United States, About
o. per cent are in countries where much
lower wage scale exists. China, Japan
and the Philippines together have five
times as many workers as we have here.
They work II or more hours day and
are paid mere pttauce compared with
what our workers receive. Perhaps wages
will never again be as low as they were
before the war, but we cannot hope to
hold them at the present high point much
longer Labor, organized or independent,
skilled or unskilled, cannot prevent re-
duction The foreign odds of cheap labor
is too heavily against them, although a
reduction by reason of this may not occur
for some one or two years. = great many
people believe that the high cost of living
is due to high wages, but high " ages are
a result, not a cause. The necessities OF
the war brought about a condition when
the demand for materials, food, clothing
and other things necessary for human
existence and activity, by far exceeded
years ago, the spectators, hoarders and
profiteers not only of this country, but of
all belligerent Europe, engaged in bidding
and over bidding against each other for
supplies of food and other necessities or
needs. 1t will be RENE mbered that Sweden,
Norway, Denmark and Holland also took
a hand in the game and won high stakes.
About two years ago Uncle Sam awoke
from his slumber and outbid every body
else These are the chief causes of the
high cost of living. In the meantime,
SPECTATORS employers, contractors, and
the government were bidding against and
outoiddng each other for labor, and those
contractors who had plus-cost contracts
over-bid the field till on many Jobs wages
ranged from eight to fifteen dollars day,
for labor by no means expert. Thus it is
seen that the high cost of labor is the
cor elative result of the causes of the
high cost of living.
Many people hastily assume that the
first and logical thing to be done to re-
duce the high cost of living is to reduce
the cost of labor. If we attempt to do
that labor will oppose, Strikes will be
made all over the country, lockouts, VIC
lence and disorganlzation will follow.
Wise men who wish tc abate or to eradi-
cate an ev. make their attack upon the
causes, not upon The results of that evil.

When the President went to Europe it
was feared that wanderlust would become
endemic in our high official family.
Events have shown that that is Just
what has happened. Mr.. Baker went to
Europe little later to inspect the mill
tary situation in the Theatre Royale,
from the top of the Eiffel Tower and
amid the Establishments of Venice. Mr..
Daniels viewed the navies of Europe, by
making an automobile tour through
Switzerland, and very recently went to
the Sandwich Islands Gin the New York

parently his object in going thither was
to show by comparison that he was quail

of the United States. We have mention
ed only the most virulent cases, but in a
milder form the af1liction was quite gen.
eral. We thought Joe Tumulty was i'm
mune, but at last "Washlngton confne-
ment chafed him." and he, too, packed
his grip-sack and sought relief by taking
large doses of peregrination.
