Stronger Economic Orders.
Alexander Dana Noyes, In seribnsr Magazine.

Politically and economically, what we correctly enough describe
as the TRANSITION period is necessarily obscure in it's trend and
tendencies, its own phenomena contradictory and not always easy to
interpret, and with the exact conditions to which it is leading Europe
and the world at large very much a matter of conjecture. At such q
stage of political and economic reconstruction it is always difficult to
avoid the converging Of attention on the difficulties which arise and
the obstacles, often unexpected, which are encountered. Comparison
of the existing situation with what it might have been and what pre-,
diction had declared it would be grows less easy as the immediate
perplexities have to be confronted. When the question has yet to be
settled not only of political relations, but Of national currencies, of
national debts, and of international trade, and when, in at least a con-
siderable part of the world, the whole problem of the relationship of
labor to capital is being reconsidered, a sense of cropping in the dark
is natural.
Nevertheless, in the world as we know it maintenance of orderly
progress, whether in politics or industry, is so absolutely essential to
the preservation of human happiness and security, that such a period
can be only brief. Within a very short time one may be sure that
events will be moving in a common direction to the new basis of per.
manent stability: The highly reassurng fact of the present situation
is that the world is taking up its task Of readjustment neither in the
spirit of 1865, when perpetuation of some of the most dangerous war
time economic expedienfs was demanded because it was not con.
venent to dispense with them, nor in that Of 1915, when outright
political reactionsm had the right of way.
The purpose of establishing a stronger and sounder poltca ss-
tenn, which is governing the deliberations of the Paris peace confer
ence, is only another aspect of the purpose which equally inspires the
guiding minds in finance and industry-to see to it not only that the
abnormal economic conditions of war time are removed as soon as may
be possible, but that, along with the removal of them, the weaknesses
or abuses of the old economic order shall be remedied.

War Tools for Trade Schools.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

II what is known as the Caldwell bill should be passed by aan-
gress, the result would be such a stimulus to vocational and ts~le
training as we have never known in this country.
The government has accumulated something like $1o00Ooo0O
worth OF tools and machinery in its rush to produce munitions and
war materials Now that there is no further use for most Of this stock
it would naturally be strapped or thrown on the market for whatever
II would bring. The Caldwell bill provides that instead the tools be
used for training workers, particularly crippled soldiers home from
the war, and to replace equipment which in some cases colleges have
worn out in their rush of war work. .. -
Dr. David snedden, president Of the National Society for voca-
tional Education, is supporting the Caldwell bill on the ground that il
would make possible the training Of a considerable number of trade
workers for whose education there has been no provision heretofore.
He is Joined by manufacturers Of machinery, who say that if the stock
is sold it will bring the government little. The most lasting effect of
the bill, however, would come from putting the congress of the United
States definitely behind vocational training Heretofore the advo.
Gates OF that form Of education have been enthusiasts, trying in vain
outside the doors of boards Of education whose members were salts
fled with the old academic type of school training. Since the war
the demand for a practical education has been growing, and this ma
chlnery, OF little value for any other purpose, would do something to
meet that demand.
