A Slogan and It's Fruits.

litical economists have become lost
in the mazes Of their own reasoning.
A little while ago It was preached
from every economic rostrum that the
only cure for the ills from which the
world was suffering was production
and more production. Production was
never advanced to q point to satisfy
the demands of the economists, yet we
find today in this and other producing
countries huge unstable stocks Of
goods of almost every kind, while
there is widespread unemployment be-
cause demand ia lacking for the prod
ucts Of industry. Can the economists
supply the answer?
1t was popularity supposed that the
war had involved such an enormous
wastage of materials as to result in
a shortage everywhere of goods of
every description, a shortage the fill
ing up of which would keep the in
dustries Of agriculture and mining
and manufacture humming for years
y
signing OF the armistice the bottom
had fallen out Of demand. and SUPER
ficial inspection might have led to
the conclusion that the world was
overstocked and surfeited with goods.
Conditions in this country find a
parallel in the countries Of Europe
which were not touched directly by
the ravages Of war. There is no
present market for great part of
the things they have produced. Amert.
can ships are out Of commission be.
cause no cargoes are to be had. Aineri-
can coal transported to Europe is
found unstable. though only a few
months ago European buyers were
scrambling for coal in the markets
here and bidding prices up against
one another. A considerable part Of
Europe Is supposed to be on meager
rations. yet the export Of American
wheat Is far below normal. Certainly
the accumulated shortage Of cotton
fabrics has not been made up. but
American cotton cannot be sold or
sold only at ruinous prices. and cot.
ton planters are planning a so Der
cent reduction In acreage the coming
year. And 80 on at great length in.
stances could be enumerated.
Without assuming to intrude into
the particular field Of the economic
doctors, it may be suggested that their
slogan Of more production should have
had a running mate, to Wit: Distrtbu
ton and more distribution! For wha,
avails it to produce goods II the
means Of distributing them are no,
provided? The wants OF the world
have not been supplied. Of course

The Italian colony Of Eritrea has
recently become an important factor
in the Red sea trade. During the
last ten years 1t has been lifted from
commercial obscurity and is now re-
ceiving the attention Of world trad
ers. Indications are that the Eritrean
mort of Nassau will be the principal
port for the very promising trade OF
northern Abyssinia and the entrepot

Arabian Red sea district.
Therefore Uncle Sam sent forth Ad-
olson b. Southland, the American con-
sui at Alden, Arabia, as q trade scout
to investigate the possibilities In the
interests of American business, and
has Just received a very encouraging
report, which says that the possibili-
ties are decidedly important"
American goods are already favor

FSeyeral of the leading Arms are al

MISSING STUDENT
SOUGHT POLICE
Despondent Note to Sister
Causes Alarm for Her
= Safety.

Police were asked last night to
search for Miss Teresa Hall, 26
years, employed in the office of the
Internal Revenue Bureau and a stu
dent at the George Washington
University, who is reported missing
from her residence at the Salvation
Army Hotel, 1880 l. street north
west, since yesterday.
According to her sister, Mary
Hall, she accompanied Teresa as far
as Fourteenth and F streets yester7
day morning on her way to work.
Teresa complained of illness and
claimed that she would do some
shopping and possibly attend a
theater later instead of going to
work. The sister thought nothing
of the affair until she arrived at
the hotel when she found a note
lying on the dresser in her room
and singed by Teresa to the effect
that she should forget her."
The police of the Second precinct
were notified to be on the lookout
as the sister feared she might at
tempt suicide.
Mary stated that her sister had
been in i'll health for a year. The
missing girl came here from Ohio
three years ago.

USE COOPERATION.
FOR PRODUCTION.
Lecturer Says Management
System Lacking in
Efficiency.

Production today is in need of
more cooperation between tho
workers and the employers, declared
the Very Rev. John A. Ryan, of the
Catholic University, during the
course of lecture on Industrial
Democracy before the Knights of
Columbus evening school, at 1904
F street northwest, last night.
The really threatening feature
of the Industrial situation today is
that the obeying class ana the d.
recting class are getting farther
apart. The system of management
is lacking in efficiency" said the
Rev. FIR. Ryan. There is a community
interest between the two classes in
the creation of the product, but
there is diversity of interest in tho
division of the product, AMI the en-
phasis of attention is placed upon
their diversity of Interest. The re-
suit is slowing up production.
We must secure the interest of
the workers in their work. This
control may be brought about
through labor's participation in
management, through its participa-
tion in profits. and through the
sense of security which comes
through the possession Of property"
