NtR consul general at brussels Henry
~ H. Morgan. presents an encouraging
report concerning the progress OF BelCium's
chorts al !rdnstrial and financial recovery
me economic depression which swept over
the world in 1920 affected Belgium he says
less than almost any other, country. In
iac'. the situation as 10 that country can
b" looked upon as a whole with considerable
satisfaction. During the first six months
OF the year practically every mill in the
country worked To its full capacity except
those engaged in the steel and iron indus
try and the coal and glass production cx-
ccedcd that OF any preceding period There
very little labor unrest and the strikes
that took place were not important Evi-
dcnce was al hand that the price of living
going down.
But when the general wave of commercial
depression swept over the world Belgium
was OF necessity drawn into the vortex. and
during the last five months of the year many
OF its factories were either closed down en-
tiroly or only working on short hours the
textile Industry being among the worst suf-
fcrcrS But even with this depression in
the later months of the year. the country
carried on very respectable foreign com
merce. According to the statistics recently
issued ny the Minister OF finance the com
mcrce Of the kingdom in 1920 amounted
20 22,495,04l metric tons of which 1886
AS tons were imports and l054S593 tons
were exports. This commerce was valued
az sl,4i@. l6l, 45l. OF which sSlO9g5.7So
imports and SG32.l65G7O cynorts
The imports for 1920 exceeded those OF
1919 by 5.a+s,420oOO francs and tho ex
ports by 6.4l9246. 900 francs
This evidence of Belgium's progress to-
ward normaiity will prove exceedingly graf
flying 10 every nationality Belgium suf-
fercd devastion such AS 10 other country in
all history had TO undergo. and that. too
without provocation on It's part. and its
quick recovery will produce Joy in every
righteous heart throughout the world.

The National Waste

a president Of the American Engineer
ing Society. Herbert Hoover in January
appointed committee of engineers to study
the problem of the elimination Of waste in
industry and report it's findings to the So
Cicty for such action as it might deem
appropriate. The report OF this committee
has been submitted to the executive board
Of the society and the question Of its ac-
ceptancc provoked animated discussion in
which opinions Clashed as TO the value OF its
findings.
The report contained startling figures in
waste In industrial processes and recon-
inendations curbng the enormous annual
losses. 1t declared that over so per cent
Of the responsibility for these wastes can
be placed at the door OF management and
less than % per cent al the door of labor
To remedy this evil it advocated the install
iation OF nationwide machinery to obtain
continuous reports on employment condi-
tons; the finding OF ways to regularizc en-
pioyment and suggest plan for co-opera-
ton between the government the public,
trade associations, industries labor. bank
ors ana engineers to eliminate waste
The chairman OF the committee which
framed tho report urged its adoption as the
Judgment Of the association. affirming that
''S's S''''Hi'Hi III INC report, WnlCn reDTe-
scented the work Of It's trained invcstiga-
tors, was backed by facts other members
of the hoard took issue with the chairman
and prevented precipitate action on its adop-
ton. rightly insisting that the report COW
cred too broad a field OF activities in which
the engineers could not claim to he qualified
as experts for the particular phases OF in
vestigaton reported on Those who sup
ported this attack on the report argued that
many OF the industries prcbed we're but
slightly allied with the engineering profes-
sion. That Wow prevailed and ii was wise
~ determined that the report should under
go further undertaking. that its own waste
OF words in promiscuouS statement of gen
cralitics might he eliminated before the
public is asked TO accept the conclusions of
so respectable body on q subject of such

gain for II tho confidence OF all railroad
employees, whtlo ut tho Same time tho pro-
fious action u tho board in permitting tho
abrogation OF the so-called national agree-
ments." which compelled tho payment by
the roads of something like s2OO,O00,OOO
year for services not actually rendered,
affords them further relief that should pro-
ciude protest on their part at the decision.
The decision of the board should prove
stabilizing factor in the labor situation.
The index of the Industrial Conference
Board. generally conceded to be about as
competent authority as we have on prices,
calculates the average decline of living ex-
pcnses at is per cent. The wage increase
of year ago was 90 per cent. 1t will thus
be seen that the employees still retain an
average wage per cent higher than they
were getting year ago, of which only .
per cent is absorbed by the increased cost
of living
But while the boards decision may be
rcckoned as fair to the interests OF both
tho roads and their employees. the public
has an interest growing out of the trans
portation situation which has not yet been
served, When President Harding went be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Commission
he stressed that interest in a request that
this ratc-making body take action TO re-
ievc ii of Il portion of the burden II is
compelled to sustain under present rate
schedules While his action in going be-
fore that body with such request was
without White House precedent it has been
commended as inspired by proper motive
and just consideration for an interest that
he is Obliged to serve II is therefore to be
assumed that this rate-making body will
appreciate the motive which induced his ap-
rcarance there and Immediately address it.

Making Progress

NY llN three months or his preSidon tiil
w term behind him. President Harding
can find much in the record to encourage him
in the belief that his administration is pro-
Ceeding To the fulhllment of its campaign
pledges, even more rapidly than the public
expected that It could. This mus, be par
ticu!arly gratifying to the President as it
Is TO the whole country, when il is recalled
that the complete revolution in the com
pleAlon OF the government took place when
the factors of unrest and uncertainty fol-
lowing the war overshadowed all others II
is true. OF course, that numerically the
achievements in these three months are not
many, but there is encouragement in the
fact that the administrative program has not
encountered many purely political obstruc-
Z tons. The Democrats have taken tho No
rcmber vote n, its face value ana in the
main are leaving the administration free
to work out the national problems assist
ing wherein they can, and refusing To i'm
pede by tactics designed solely for party
benefit. In that course the minority is
showing its real wisdom
Of the many major pledges on the part
Of the President and as set forth in his
party's platform. only two have reached the
stage OF accomplishment. The budget bill
is now on the statute books and the emery
cncy tariff measure has been made a law.
The former is not new 10 this admi.is,ra-
