COOPERATION OF LABOR AND CAPITAL PRAcTiCED
 BY JAPANESE FIRM

TOXIC, Jan. 17.-A cooperative or ganization of capital and labor which would not ignore human instincts and feelings should be established thro ughout the world, in the opinion oi Mrs. Ko-ko Tanaka, woman advisor to the Japanese labor delegation in the International Labor Conference at Washington.
 Contributing her views on the labor question to a Japanese women's magazine, Mrs. Tanaka says that if such system were inaugurated. the laborer would be emancipated from the position of a wage-earner and would employ his energy with hope and zeal. She continues:
 This is no mere paper argument Such a system is actually practiced in ticket manufactory at Tokio. Ii is a small factory with less than 5( hands. The owner leaves the man agement entirely to his employees The profits are divided equally be tween owner and employees. The ex pertinent has stood the test of sev eral years and it could be applied to any factory on a much larger 5cale."

In his opinion the United States must To one or both of two things if expect to hold present. volume of export trade to Europe The first these is to buy European goods and the md Is to extend to Europe very large credits for the aid for in goods In the long the second merges nto the first, because the credit must in time be ,anceied, and 1t only be cancelled by selling us oods or by selling goods to other nations and turn ng the pay over to

CONDITIONS OVER THERE

A lot of Italians who rushed back to Italy as soon as they could with the idea that they could 'e lheie comfortably on the savings they had made Tn tns country are coming back again. It does not take long for an alien living in this country to get the habit" and the high cost of living is not exclusively an American institution. It prevails everywhere.

THE ILLUSION OF PERCENTAGES

dispatch from Washington says that during ten months of this year exports of sugar to Europe in creased the previous year for the period 339 per cent, reaching total of 250 900 pounds while the imports only increased 27 per cent to total of 000 and expresses the opinion that this explains the difficulty housewives have in curing sugar. Percentagely speaking. increase of 339 cent. in exports and only 27 per in imports sounds bad very bad indeed, but a little calculation sheds light the matter The 339 per cent increase in exports increase of about 10O0.0oOO 900 pounds while the 27 per increase in imports made total increase of 1,75O, 900 900 pounds So we that in spite of this terrible per centage difference imports increase exceeded our export increase 750000 900 pounds, and the result should have been an excess of sugar instead of shortage.
 There is nothing more illusive than percentages Almost anything may be proved dsproved by the percentage argument, without in any way touching the real facts It is pretty well understood that it IS our tremendously increased consumption which IS at the bottom of sugar shortage Other things contribute to it or help to make that increase more serious but that is the fundamental fact with which we have to deal We need more sugar than We ever used before and must find it somewhere.

WHEAT FUTURE TRADING
TO RESUME TOMORROW
Chicago Board of Trade Directors
Announce Plans to It's
Members,

CHICAGO, July 14.-Plans for the
resumption of trading in wheat fu-
lures, commencing tomorrow morn
ing, were announced today by the
directors of the board of trade.
The probable opening price for De-
cember wheat varies from $3.50 to
$2.75 in the opinion of traders. De-
liveries will be quoted for December
and March.
Members were notified that, as the
Lever act continues in force until the
termination of state OF war with
Germany, the wartime supervision of
contracts for future delivery in store
by grade alone will be continued and
applied to such trading in wheat.
The directors authorized the execu-
tive officers to exercise such super
vision under strict seal of secrecy
with full power to order curtailments
or adjustments whenever the public
welfare or the best interests of the
board of trade seem SO to require.
Recognizing that the attempt to re-
establish the open market is being
made under abnormal conditions. the
attention of members is called to the
fact that responsibility for the mar
ket's conduct rests with them. The
directors urge that very adequate
protection be behind every contract
since transportation facilities are far
from ample. crop conditions and
world conditions are uncertain, and
fluctuations are expected to be wide
compared with normal conditions.
