Peace VIII Bring Production.

That there can be no normality IN pro-
duction until the world is at peace. Is
asserted in letter Bernard M. Baruch,
former chairman of the War Industries
Board. has sent to Senator McNary,
chairman of the special Senate sub-com-
mittee. investigating conditions IN the
sugar and shoe industry. Mr.. Baruch,
business man of wide experience, an
economist and student OF conditions IN
this country and abroad, says in the light
of his experience as chairman of the War
Industries Board that peace time super
vision and regulation of the shoe and
other industries by the government, may
be necessary. lie discusses at length pre-
vailing high prices, and shows that they
are partly due to fear of a shortage, re-
duced production and the extravaganza OF
the people. He shows how high prices are
inevitably linked with the prevailing con-
ditions in the world. Since this country
is still technically at war with Germany,
because of the refusal of the Senate to
ratify the Peace Treaty, the observations
of the former chairman of the War In
dustries Board are pertinent to conditions
at home and abroad.
In his letter to Senator McNary, MIR.
Barich says in part: 81 do not see how
norniality in production or distribution
can come until the world is at peace. And
it must be firmly established peace
Hundreds of thousands OF men are stIil
in arms in Europe, facing one another
across boundaries that should have been
determined long ago. They dare not drop
their arms and return to production Tor
fear they will be overrun by their neigh-
bors. There will be no peace until this is
ended, no return to normality and pro-
duction. Think of how mitch beet sugar
could have been produced IN Germany
Poland and Russia, how many shoes they
could have made, how much coal they
could have dug, how much clothing they
could have made. how much hope and
optimism they could be giving to the
world instead of the pessimlsm and iears
which come from destruction
Who can question the .soundness OF
this argument? With peace throughout
the world-and especially industrial peace
in our country main war problems
would be splendidly solved. Peace would
bring production, and production is the
world S most pressing need today.

BONUSES AND BUBBLES.

The more the generous tinancieis OF the
House committee on ways and means
co0itate upon the soldier bonus the
mc,.ner fiat appropriation OF $2,0OO,UO,-
OOO aprsnr. In addition to that 1t Is now
seriously proposed to establish an insur-
anrs and money-lending scheme which If
cxpr,cted to bring the total cost of the
larges to 5000, 100000. ],
By the insurance plan soldier who had
served 400 days would receive paid-up

Well Street would say, TOR those who
prefer ready money and do not value long
distance insurance, even when IL costs
nothing. the bonus OF Sl.75 day is
reduced to $l.25.
From the brain-pans IN which this mag
ni6cent enterprise originated We are
getting weird devices of taxation that
must make Ienine and Trotzky wish
Moscow were nearer Washington. In
comes taxed as far back as 1917 are to he
levied upon again. There is TO be tax
upon sales. All super and excess-profits
taxes are TO be retained. Persons who
mad money on government contracts
and paid taxes once are to be assessed 5o
per cent more. All incomes above a GER
tain sum are to be commandeered:' With
so many bubbles afloat it cannot be long
before some genius will recommend
shin-plasters and debased coinage.
The salvation of the people, soldiers
included, rests upon the visionary
character of these devices. There Is
demagogy enough in Congress, no doubt,
to appropriate six, eight or twenty billions
for bonuses. There Is not wit enough IN
the whole body to draft tax measure
capable of producing the money without
bringing on a panic.-New York World

DESTINY AND THE LEAGUE,

Senator Hiram johnson says that in
one way or another the people will pass
upon the League of Nations. And Cardinal
Gibbons, who leads an association In
favor of league as necessary to stabilize
the world, hopes that by some means the
people may have opportunity to decide
whether the United States is to join a
league or to continue to play lone hand.
The issue may not become the dividing
one in the national campaign, but il will
be presented to the people indirectly any
how.

rendered Mr.. George NJ. Smith, superln-
tendent of the Delaware division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. upon his eleva-
ton to the superintendeney of the Balti-
more division. And he deser yes them,
fully. Mr. Smith gained his prominence
in railroad service by his own efforts, and
by his native ability, rising from humble
post Of brakeman. And in building the
thorough and effective railroad system
around the bogs of Hog Island he did a
work that would have staggered many
railroad chiefs.

Senator Johnson is not setting good
example of attention to public duties by
devoting so much time to his political
interests. In fact, he is neglecting his
duty as Senator to further his ambition
TO be President. That he will fail in his
ambition may be set down ae certain.

CRAZY TIMES.

Strike, and the world strikes with
YOU, work and YOU work alone; our
souls are ablaze with a bolshevik
craze, the widest that ever was
known. Groan, and there'll be a
chorus, smile, and you make no
hit: for we've grown long hair and
we preach despair, and show you
daily 6t. Spend, and the gang will
cheer you, save, and you have no
friend; for we throw our bucks TO
the birds and ducks, and borrow
from all who'll lend. Knock, and
you'll be winner, boost, and you'll
be frost; for the old sane ways of
the pre-war days, are now from the
program lost Strike, and the world
strikes with you, work, and you work
alone; for we'd rather yell and
keep raising Hannibal, Mo, than
striye for an honest bone. Rant,
and you are a leader, toll, and you
are nut; twas bitter day when
we pulled away from the old time
workday rut. Wait, and there'll
he a bloY-lp, watch, and you'll
! see slump; and the fads and crimes
of these crazy times will go to the
