now proposed to make an organized cam
palgn for building repairs to the end
that buildings and dwellings now avail
able may be brought up to maximum
efficiency and utility. 1t is understood
this campaign will be backed by several
national organizations with the depart
ment of labor cooperating.
Reports from several states show a
deepening interest in road building pro-
grams which are rejecting benefits in
the building and construction industry.
Oklahoma, for example, has 100000 900
roads project before the legislature. In
Utah there is before the legislature a
100000 road program, while Salt Lake
City, in that state, is to vote on ST.,
100000 bond issue for county highway
improvements.
Building authorities reporting to the
department of labor say state projects
inspire confidence in private builders and
accelerate general business conditions so
that where an extensive state copstruc-
ton program is under way, there, also,
private building begins to pick up.
In the thousands of letters, question
naires and reports, received in the de-
partment Of labor during the last month,
from building interests the country over,
there is one proposition on which there
is complete agreement. None suggests
that the future of the building industry
will bring anything other than unprece
denied activity and prosperity. All agree
that the present labor surplus, which is
| causing some anxiety, is temporary and
that within a year it will have changed
to marked shortage Many building
authorities urge the present labor sur
plus as one of the circumstances favor
able To- immediate building and construc-
ton work. These also assert wages are
not excessive in the building industry if
labor renders its maximum service for
the wages paid.
Among the notable building projects
brought to the attention of the depart
ment of labor this week are the follow
ing:
In New York City the Daughters Of
Jacob plan a 100000 home for aged;
B. +. Keith's New York Theatre Co

ORIENT FOR .oRIEETALS."
Is One Cry Heard in Japan-Another Is
For Open Door in China.

Toxic, Feb % correspondence Of the
Associated essl.-Marquis Saionji,
chief japanese envoy to the peace con
ference in Paris, left Toxic for the
French capital Jan. II. His departure
evoked interesting suggestions from the
leading newspapers as to Japan's atti-
tude in far eastern affairs,
The Kokumin asserts that ii will be
the task Of Marquis Saionii TO maintain
the principle of "the Orient for the Ori-
entails and reminds its readers that he
bears on his shoulders the destiny of the
japanese empire The paper adds that
this policy accurds witch the principles
OF liberty and equality enunciated by
President Wilson, as the basis of a
worlds peace.
The Asahi, perhaps the leading Japa-
nese newspaper, with simultaneous edi-
ti0ns In Toxic and Osaka, lays stress
upon assertion OF the principle Of equal
ity and declares that by unfolding this
policy the marquis would be in accord
with President Wilson's ideas of Justice
and humanity. At the same time the
Asahi remarks that the trend Of world
affairs demands an absolutely opeu-door
p0llcN IN AL International relations ana
therefore in China. 1t says that Japau's
advocacy Of the removal OF racial bar
rers will not be sufficiently convincing
unless she openly pledges herself to
abandon her militaristic diplomacy
which so often has been the subject Of
misconceptions and suspicious among the
powers"
The advanced age Of the marquis, &C
cording to japanese ideas-he is 10 this
ear-his princely family, his association
with party politics, his recent investi-
ture with the Order of the Chrysanthe-
mum, the highest decoration in the gift
of the emperor, his fearless, unconIpro-
missing spirit coupled with the languid
manner he affects, all make him to the
japanese an interesting figure well-suit-
ed to be the expression of national senti-
ment.
Up to the present Japan has been rep.
resented at the peace conference by
delegation in which Baron Maxine is the
leading figure.

BUILDING INDUSTRY
AFTER LOWER FREIGHT
1t Is Insisted That the High Rates, More
Than Anything Else, Are Holding
Back Extensive Projects.

During the week agitation for an i'm
mediate lifting Of restrictive freight
rates on building materials has been
most determined. Representatives of
the sand, gravel, stone and Stag indus
tries and the cement manufacturers have
appealed to the division of public works
and construction development. of the de
partment of labor for assistance in the
presentation of their case before the
railroad administration.
Many of the contractors and builders
reporting to the department of labor in
sist freight rates, more than any other
factor, are holding back the more extern
sive building projects, especially in the
central west They submit that if there
is to be an early resumption of general
building and construction work, freight
rates on sand, gravel, stone, Stag and
cement must be reduced and such ship
ping restrictions as were inaugurated to
prevent the diversions from war use of
building materials, must be withdrawn.
Despite present obstacles, building au-
thorities express confidence that the
spring and summer will witness an I'M
usual amount of private buildings, espe-
cially on such projects as were forced to
suspend during the war and which were
then needed to accommodate business
and factory expansions. These needs
now are more pressing than ever and
many of them can be deferred no longer,
regardless of construction costs,
The division of public works and con-
struction development of the department
of labor has been asked to cooperate
with several national building and real
estate organizations on formulating and
advertising throughout the country "A
Repair and Clean Up" campaign for early
spring, 1t is submitted that neglect of
desirable repairs during the war is cost
