they will have showed into it men who
backed them in our factories.
Industry can meet the test if, from
leaders to rank and file, it feels the ma
tons opportunity. Industry can meet
it quickly and decsively, however, only
if every effort IS made to free capital
and set it moving in its normal peace
time courses. One of those steps-a
very necessary and immediate step-is
the validation by Congress Of .hc settle
mcnt Of the thousands Of cancelled war
contracts which now tie up thc re-
sources Of industry.
There is no time for delay SO far
we arc relatively safe. We have felt
only a part Of the natural reaction,
hesitancy and depression which would
follow Il war like this even if we had
taken no military part in it and had
no vast army to dsband. In the nature
CT things there would be more to follow.
And to that we must add the dcmobi-
lizing Of 100000 men.
1t is time for courage. even for OPP
tmism. But not for compacency.
That is best left to the past.

War Labor Board Ahciicates

Something seems to have happened to
the morale of the War Labor Board
Tuesday. with 10000 men, they marched
up the hill backed by the War and Navy
departments. Wednesday they beat a
strategic retreat la Hindenburg and
left the greatest harbor in the world
battling ground for capital and labor
Perhaps we shall learn that the entente
cordiale between labor aud capital within
the board is over, that the agreement
which made drastic pro- labor settlements
possible in war time can't be extended
past the armistice, after all.
At any rate, it was breakdown. The
labor members Of the War Labor Board
felt it necessary to come together and
make special announcement eNoner-
ing the halbor workers. The govern
ment's official arbiter, without present
ing such a certificate to the men, threw
up the case and attacked rot only the
private employers but also the United
States government as an employer in the
person of the railroad administration.

A Good Beginning

Governor Smith has made an excellent
choice in naming Charles +. Rattigan TO
be Superintendent OF State Prisons. Mr..
Rattigan has thorough knowledge of
modern penology. lie has had first hand
experience as warden of Auburn lie
brings to a much-abused post an admir-
able equipment. The one criticism that
can be made is his active political career.
But that need not hamper his public SER
vice if he refuses to let it.
Of the other conspicuous appointments
Mr.. Nixon clearly does not class with
his predecessor, General Wotherspoon,
but he is an engineer and an experienced
constructor. It is q good appointment if
not an ideal one. Governor Smith has
done we'll TO name woman to the State
Industrial Commission and he has gone
to the right sources for his appointee.
Whether Miss Perkins will measure up
TO her task remains to be seen. She is
experienced in welfare work, she is up
right, she has shown her independence in
politics by her work for the late prison
campaign.
The merits Of some Of the other APP
pointments remain to be disclosed But
Mr.. Smith has made good beginning.

When Paris fo!l into the hands Of the
Reds in 1871 it was in a worse state of
demoralization than Berlin is in to-day.
1t had suffered the privations Of long
siege. It had been cut off from the rest
Of the country. The capital was else

1000 acres are frequent. In a few
years these trees will begin bearing,

thinks, will quickly surpass that of
