working day is said to average eighteen hours.
His value to the nation in the present crisis in
the worlds history is realized and friends are
urgin him to let up a little. But a man like
Hoover sees so much to do at the present mo-
ment that he cannot quit. Edison, the great
wizard of electricity, is said to sleep but four
hours out of the twenty-four that constitute
a day. Most of the remainder of the time he
spends in his laboratory. working.
When the greatest need of the world today
in order to get back to normal is production
it is no time to be considering a reduction in
the number of hours of work below the &C
cepted time of eight hours for work, eight
hours for play and eight hours for sleep. If
men will put all their brain power into their
work during the eight, hours allotted to work
and all of their energy into their play during
the eight hours set aside for recreation. and
then will sleep a sound, restful sleep for the
remaining eight hours, how quickly this old
world of ours would readjust itself to the new
conditions following the war.
But the world is so full of suspicious, teal-
ousies and distrust that it is next to impossible
to settle down to what ought to be. In the
general readjustment that is gradually going on
everybody thinks the other fellow is getting the
Their distrust is so great that they re-
fuse to believe even when the truth is told. But
the readjustment is taking place in spite of what
some may do in their endeavor to prevent 1t.
The natural laws are taking care OF that. the
public in general, after all, is the final arbitra-
tor. Prices, wages and everything else have
got to adjust themselves to the public demands.
And the public certainly demands something
entirely different from what existed in time of
war.

arRcly offsets the incoming move

much alarmed, and as for the money
they arc taking, that IS serving a
good purpose IN helping 10 correct
The exchange situation and sustain
OuT exports
In the first place, the presump-
ton IS that every dollar taken out
Of this country by immigrants has
been honestly earned by the crea-
tion of It's equivalent Of wealth here.
If that is true we have lost nothing
on the immigrant who returns, and
have gained by the contribution he

most advantageous way to take his
capital Is by converting It into the

the high premium which our money

money with him that is what he
will do on the other side, and our
money will come back Whether
converted here or there II creates
credits in this country which enable
the foreign countries to make pur-
chases here.
We have al been wondering how
the enormous trade balance OF the
United States was being settled.
OF course, IN all calculations allow

tances of immigrants and the
amounts the returning ones were

allowed enough. At any rate, the
immigrants money IS very large

not be put to better use. He IS a
saving link between Europe and
America; a great factor of fexi-
bility in our relations, and OF
enormous mutual benefit
I am not in favor of restricting
immigration at this time Ii It IS
true that millions want TO come, the
idea Of letting them die OF starva-
ton on our door step IS repugnant
to every instinct of humanity. 1t
is not true that we cannot care for
all who will come or find work for
them. Even if It were true, as has

enough ships in service or likely

than approximately the pre-war
average number OF immigrants to
our shores.
If there be no means whereby a
food of immigration may come, il
IS scarcely worth mentioning the
other economic factors, such as
lack of funds by great numbers to
pay passage and the business de-
preston IN this country. The i'm
poverished condition of the people
Of Europe IS such as 10 preclude the
possibility of any unusual move

LEAGUE OF NATIONS AT WORK.

The report of the death of the league
of nations, which has been so widely
circulated by its enemies in this coun-
try, seems to be somewhat premature.
The various international commits
! sions organized under the league,
among the members of which are many
Of the worlds leading statesmen and
scientists, are functioning.
Their activities represent the first
serious. co-ordinated world effort to
study and if possible find solutions Of
the many great international prob
lens.
An interesting idea of the present
and forthcoming activities of the
league is given in the calendar of meet
ings. just published by the league sec
retaries at Geneva.
During April a transit conference
was held at Barcelona for the purpose
of devising ways and means for arriv-
ing at a better understanding among
the nations in respect of the important
matters of communication and trans
portation.
The advisory board of the leagues
epidemic commission at it's Warsaw
meeting continued it's efforts to stamp
out typhus, epidemic in that part Of
Europe, and threatening to spread IL
not controlled.
The Polish Lithuanian delegates at
Brussels. under a league mediator.
made progress toward final adjustment
Of the many differences between these
nations.
An office was established at Paris to
handle all matters having to do with
inf i'm al H.
ed with this office are the worlds
greatest experts on this important sub
ject.
League activities for Man include q
meeting OF the temporary commission
on the reduction of ornaments at &C.
neva; meeting of the international
blockade commission; the second 'ses-
sion Of the commission on amendments
to the league covenant; a meeting of
the opium advisory committee, which
is undertaking to put an end to this
vile traffic; the first meeting of the
temporary health committee, which will
undertake to formulate. code of
health for the world.
Early in June the council of the
league will meet at Geneva and later
in the month, at the same place, will
be held meeting Of the International
Conference on White Slave Traffic.
The International commission on en-
igration meets at Geneva in August.
Finally. on Sept. 5. the opening ses-
sion Of the second assembly of the
league commission will /be received,
discussed and acted upon, and further
plans for International cooperation for
mulated.
1t has yet to be shown by those who
scott at the league as a useless thing
that 1t Is not meeting its great obli-
cation to the peoples OF the world in
an intelligent and courageous way.
