Germnny's Chance

DHE RELATIONS which formerly
l. existed between Germany and Russia will doubt
less be resumed under the treaty recently signed by
these powers, Notwithstanding the fact that it has
temporarily been suspended. For years Russia found
ready and large market for raw materials in Germany
Germany as an intensive manufacturing country trans
formed these materials into finished products and
returned them to Russia in payment for the raw mate
rails and shipped the surplus to all parts of the world
In the year before the war Russia had a favorable
Strade balance of about $4,000, 900, but in her trade
Germany's favor was about 500, 000, 900. APPROX
mately 90 per cent of Russia's exports were either
food stuffs, raw materials or half manufactured arti-
cles to be used in further manufacture in other
countries
That situation in industry and commerce made
Russia a subject nation-subject to Germany. Be
cause Germany was her closest neighbor and the most
eager bidder for her raw materials, trade relations
were gradually established in such a manner as to be
beyond successful competition from other countries.
Every suggestion that Russia build up her own man-
ufacturing interests under the influence of a protec-
tive tariff was defeated through the influence of
German diplomacy either political or commercial
Thus Russia not only formed the habit of sending
practically all her raw materials abroad but failed to
develop within her own boundaries skilled workmen
capable of conducting manufacturing enterprises. The
training of men not merely to do the manual labor
but to take supervision of manufacturing plants and
the sale of manufactured products is something that
Sannot be done in a short period. Through many
generations Germany has built up the unexcelled man
ufacturing system which was the basis of her pros
perity.

Lioing and Production Costs

1NE of the main r-eadjustments which American in
" dustry has awaited is the restoration of the bal
anee between costs of production and the costs of Nv
ing. The preliminary step was the decline IN prices
followed by the lowering of wages Probability of
hindranee to further progress has been reduced by the
tendency toward rising, or at least relatively stabilized.
prices This is particularly beneficial in that IL re.
drces the number of probable wage disputes with their
inevitably widespread evil effects on business-at least
so long as the willingness of the public to accent
1irmer prices IS not over-estimated.
The improvement in the steel industry is partition
Larty gratifying in view of the wide range of interests
rom which the industry draws its orders. The steel
lngot output is appreciably ahead of that of 1921,
and Is proceeding at an estimated rate of SIS, 900. 900
tons per year, a figure which represents two-thirds
OF present capacity and is equivalent to the 1914 ca
pacity. The production in 1914 was %, s19. 900 tons.
and IN 1913 it was 3o,2so, 900 tons. The
indicated yearly production at the beginning
o. this year was only $4,000, 600 tons, and at
the end of February was 1000, 900 tons
The March output was the largest since November.
1920. The production of pig iron for the first quarter
was also at a rate substantially above that Of the pre-
vious year. The March output, 2~,034,7g4 tons. was
the largest-and was also the first 2-mirion-ton
monthly production-since January, 1921. The indi-
Gated yearly production, 25.200, 900 tons, is so per
cent in excess of that of 1921. The United States
Steel Corporations untitled orders of ~4,4e4.14s tons
on March 81 showed an increase of 353, 079 tons for
the month, the first substantial increase since MAY.
1920.
The increase in the steel business is largely the
result of greater orders from the more active building
trades, and the resumption of large-scale buyinr ON
tirued in spite of a tendency for prices of pig iron and
manufactured steel to recover from the low levels
occasioned by the large stocks and slack demand char
acteristic of 1921.

been led to believe that because the United States
during the war opened its treasury with a spirit Of

after the emergency of war had passed. Instead
therefore. of graphing with every problem IN a man

From The School Board

Editor Casper Daily Tribune: From
a reading of your paper during the
past week. one would derive the opin-
ion that the school board OF the city
of Casper was entirely a one-sided af-
fair. 1 have been n member of this
board for some time and have found
them to be very fair minded. There
mas been considerable controversy re-
Gently as to tho hiring of married
teachers, the impression seeming to
be that the board has a rule that 1t
win not employ any married teachers.
As a matter of fact the board has no
such rule. the question being one Of
efficiency only. In h election of
teachers each year, those married
teachers who have made good and
given satisfaction and who desired
their positions again have been o
elected, but 1t has not been the policy
of the bo1rd when hiring new each
ers. other things being equal, to hire
married women. as the board feels
hat no woman can serve two mas
tiers. Any good teacher will tell you
that IL takes from eight to ten hours
OF each day to teach a school. She
must be there from $50 until 4. and
II takes a couple of hours outside of
that to prepare reports and the work
for the next day. 1t is quito evident,
therefore. that either the home or
the school work VIII be neglected.
The great object the board has al
ways had in mind is the good OF the
child. ard the desire not to change
teachers during the ear as it did not
wish to break in on the child's school
year with a new teacher. During the
past two years, however, when mar
ricd women have had to quit. the
board has always paid them the full
salary. showing h la hey wish to deal
fairly with them. 4
The board feels that when n young
couple marry, they have something
else in view besides the accumulation
of money, and if they are going to
try and build a home, sooner or later
the wife is going to be incapacitated
from teaching school. and no mother
who has the good of her family al
heart will abandon her children in
order TO teach school. On the other
hand, If young people get married
with the sole idea of accommodating
money, they Fhave no right TO marry.
