TO HELP AMERICAN LABOR.

There are three efforts in which the present national
administration is engaged with a view of promoting
the labor situation of the United States. They are
encouragement of export trade, restricting immigra.
ton and adoption of a tax on cheap foreign goods
In building an export trade the administration is
pursuing three distinct plans-perrnitting combina
tons for export sales, sending trade representative
to all the principal nations, and maintaining a mer.
chant marine which will be an agency for the establish.
ment of regular trade routes as well as extending the
opportunity for shipment of American goods to mar.
kets not hitherto reached. Every dollars worth Of
American goods shipped abroad means a dollar to
be expended for the payment of American wages
or the purchase Of American raw materials.
Restriction of immigration has a double purpose
to relieve the labor situation st n time when there
are more men than jobs, and to give opportunity for
the Americanization of the foreign elements already
here before admitting any considerable new immi-
grants. In both particulars the effect upon American
labor will be good, for there will not only be less
competition in numbers of workmen but as a result
of the Americanization of the immigrants their stand.
ards of living will be raised and, they will expect and
the same wage standard the American workmen
desires. ~ g. e NsT
The enactment Of an import tariff law will su.xie-
lment the restriction of immigration. There is little
use protecting the American workman from the COM
petition of immigrant labor if we are to leave our
ports open to the free admission of products of Tor
eign labor. A workman who can come to this coun-
try and lower the standard OF wages and living by
his competition can also lower the American stand
ard by producing goods at home and shipping them
here to be sold in competition with the products
of American labor. This is a fact frequently over
iooheu py democrats VINO favor restriction of i'm
migration but oppose any restriction on the impor-
tation of the products OF the labor of the men they do
not wish - admit as immigrants. In truth, if we are
+ choose between admitting foreign labor or the prod
ucts of foreign labor, the former is preferable, for
the foreign laborer admitted to this country will spend
much of his earnings here, while the foreign ,laborer
who produces at home and ships the product here
spends his earnings abroad. 1t is not proposed to enact
an import duty that will be absolutely prohibitiye. hui
to make the import tax high enough to represent the
difference in cost of production, and thus put the
American producer on an equality with his foreign
competitor.
several million men out of employment. This situa
ton cannot be remedied completely nor quickly
Neither can it be done entirely by legislation. TIL
administration can by just such efforts as it is nov
engaged in, aid materially in restoring conditions t.
where the American workmen will have all the ad
vantages their government can give them.

TREATY WITH GERMANY.

Through the American commissioner in Berlin a
general basis has been established for a formal peace
treaty between the United States and Germany at an
early date. The German government has assented to
the several propositions submitted by the American
state department respecting the essential principles
enunciated in the Porter-Knox peace resolution and
recognizes the American attitude on the prerogatives
the privileges and various rights under the Versailles
treaty which, the United States is entitled to by yirtue
of Americas participation in the war.
As soon as the official memorandum prepared by
