A MERITED REBUKE

rather severe indictments against the

The fact that the average minister is

Of many preachers are so low as to be

POSTWAR FATE

For many years before the war. Amer
lea wa interested In the fate OF Ar
menia, partly because the Armenians
were Christians and were prosecuted by
the Turks, who were Moslems. When
the allies won, It was decided h
Armenia should be made an indepcn-
dent state. and its troubles were be-
lieved 10 be over. The allied council de-
cided that President Wilson should
draw the boundaries Of the new nation.
whose independence was to be recog-
nized and guaranteed.
Those boundaries have not been an
nounced. but in the meantime Armenia
has ceased to exist. Turkey. on he one
side, and the Russian Reds on the other.
have simply wiped this new little nation
on the earth. Attention has been called
to this by the action of the assembly
of the league of nations. which is try
ing to find a way TO save the Armcnians
who are still alive and to restore their
nation. Pressure on Turkey and the &C
c~eptance Of an Armenian mandate by
some strong and willing nation are the
means proposed.
This is assuredly a task for the league
Of nations and a test Of it's effectiveness.
The United States has refused the
Armenian mandate and very properly
so, as the rest Of the world has no right
to expect this country TO undertake such
a costly and improbable task alone. We
should. however. use our influence in
every possible way to rescue Armenia
and make her permanently secure.

THE ARTIFICIAL B


" Much Of the shortage Of labor or
which so much has been said in the last
few years. Is now seem to ave been OF
m artificial nature. Possibly there was
In actual shortage In some lines for
short periods, but most OF the failure to
get the work done was due to the fact
that the men on the Job were not pro-
ducing.
This Is not = guess nor an accusation
AGAINST any particular group. II IS
based upon statistics OF various indus
tries, which show that In many cases
che same number Of men did only halr
or less than half as much work as in
the pre-war period. They were at the
same time receiving much higher wages
Usually double or more. or course
4here have been exceptions. Some work
men always give a good days work for
4 days pay, but the general tendency
has been to get more money Tor less
work.
- A return to pre-war standards OF pro-
duction is Of much greater Importance
right now than TO revise wages. The
world war destroyed enormous quanti-
ties Of practically all the necessities OF
life, at a time when production in many
countries was almost at a standstill. An
increase of individual production all
along the line will mean that the en-
ployers can continue to pay good wages,
for. even though he must sell each
article at a lower price. he will have
more articles 10 sell.
Immigration has been considered
Necessary to relieve the labor shortage,
But American workers can do much TO
change this. Whatever part OF the
shortage IS artificial can be relieved II
each man will do the same amount In
3 day as he did before the var Then
Immigration needs can be accurately
kadged.
