AN uNwoRKABLK SOLUTION.

Over in the Manitoba legislature they have a So
called Tabor group" and in a meeting called to con-
slider the matter Of unemployment, a resolution was
psssed conGemning the present capitalists system,
It is fortunate that this Is not the attitude OF labor
in general.
ployers- We cannot have employers unless we have
saved something from their earnings and use that saw
ing in the purchase of equipment enabling them to
o-srlov others tn assist them. No man wants to en-
plov others to assist him unless he Is making a profit
nv thus using his savings. The man who is not per
rnitted to make a profit on his Eavings will either hide
them away or put them into ncn-taxable and nom
productive securities, in either event diminishing the
amount of employment.
There Won have the whole "capitallstic" problem IN
n few words. Everybody knows that there are a lot
OF men who never can make a success Of working for
tLemselvs because they are poor managers. Their
work is either done at q great disadvantage or IS en-
tirelv, fruitless unless they work under the direction Of
other men who have a better knowledge OF the task or
who attend to the proper performance of the work
with a higher degree Of attention. The careless, the
+boupbtless. the inept, we shall always have with US,
ard, in order to utilize their work to the best advan-
tage, such men must work under the supervision OF
mon of initiative, skill and energy. If every youth re-
fused to be an apprentice, we could never have skilled
workmen, and without skilled workmen there would be
no progress in industry. More than that, without a
saving of some of the profits, thus creating capital,
there could be no employment Of the unsklled under
the supervision of the skilled, because of the lack of
tools. material. shops. selling agencies, advertising, etc.
Condemning the first essential of employment is n
poor way to solve the problem of unemployment.
It must be noted, however, that the Manitoba Ia
bor group offered a solution for the unemployment
situation-to have the government provide work for
the unemployed al regular waFes. How this could pos
sibly be a solution IS not readily comprehende6, for
the government must get its funds to pay labor through
taxes, and the taxes must be collected from capital.
Il capital is to be destroyed, the government viii have
TO one from whom TO collect taxes and consequently
no money with which TO pay wages.
Confscation or humiliation Of capital has been tried
out in Russia. and # did not work out to the ~satisfac-
tion Of anybody-even to those originating and advo-
eating the theory. It ought not be necessary to furth-
or impress the lesson on Canadians or Americans by
dearly purchased experience.

OUR TRIBUTE no srEEL.

"By fiat of the United States Steel corporation, -
says the st Louis Post-Dspatch, 'the middle west pays
the steel industry an annual arbitrary tribute esti-
mated by the Western Association of Rolled Steel Con-
sumers at SIS, 000, 900. This tribute is put in the form
of fictitious freight charge, which is applied on the
price for rolled steel produced at western plants just
as if it were produced at Pittsburgh.
III an Indianapolis manufacturer buys steel at Gary
burgh. If a Chicago fabrcator sends his truck to the
South Chicago Gary region for a load of steel he pays
the mill price plus $3.50 a ton, which is the freight
rate from Pittsburgh
This graft, called Pittsburgh plus which the con-
sumers' organization charges in a petition to the Fed
eral Trade Commission came into being with the birth
of the United States Steel corporation, is passed or as
a charge to builders and renters, buyers Of farm ma
chinery and all users of steel
"The alleged arbitrary private tax Of $50, 000,0 600
has a large spread, but it is a vast sum which could be
put to far more beneficial use than swelling the Golfers
of a giant corporation, It is indefensible in principle
and a violation, In spirit at least, of the antitrust laws
as well as an economic burden and commercial handi-
cap on the entire country between the Pittsburgh area
and the Rocky mountains
"ApplicRtion to the Federal Trade commission to
have the discrimination removed was first filed In Au-
gust, 1919, Hearings have since been held and were
resumed in Milwaukee last Monday. All testimony is
expected to be in within three or four months.

ApvANcINo WORLD PEACE.

No one contends that the first efforts at Washing
ton toward world peace were complete In detail; but
every sincere believer in better things VIII grant that
It was a great advancement in international relations
and the negotiations should be ratified first by the
government calling the conference and proposing the
program to be followed
There is no inconsistency displayed when men who
opposed ratification of the treaty Of Versailles ask
for ratification of the treaties negotiated at Washing
ton The Versailles treaty, with its interviewer league
of nations, was Objectionable for many reasons. It
established n super-state to which its members would
be Indefinitely bound and whose mandates it's men,
bers would be morally If not legally bound to fulfil.
It created new International relations and territorial
boundaries, some Of which We did not approve, but
bound Us to uphold them If we became members. APP
parently It gave the league of nations a right to take
action upon controversies arising over such questions
as immigration and tariffs. 1t left to the league an
underlined and almost unlimited Jurisdiction. The ba4
sis of the league was force.
The treaties negotiated at the armaments confer
enee are different in every respect. They establish
new agreements, but those agreements are definite and
certain, 20 that each nation knows the extent Of the
obligations It assumes. The international rights es-
tablished are by mutual agreement of all concerned,
and not over the protest of some, as was the case in
the treaty Of Versailles. No nation is bound to en-
force an obligation the business of which it may hold
in doubt Tho plan of reduction of armament pre-
scribes specifically what each nation undertakes to do,
instead of leaving this TO the decision of some trib-
unal yet to be named. Each treaty negotiated at
Washington deals with n separate subject, instead CT
combining unrelated subjects which must stand or fall
together, as was done at Versailles.
The treaties of Washington were negotiated and
signed by an American delegation which included
senators of both political parties, and the full proceed
ings of the conference have been placed before the
senate. Not only in letter but in spirit there has been
an observance of the constitutional requirements that
Treaties be made by and with the advice and consent
OF the senate.
Although some people would prefer that there be
even greater reduction of armament agreed upon the
results of the conference in that respect are far great
er than was hoped for when the conference was called.
The treaties are n very substantial advance in the d.
rection or world peace and understanding. They lift

that might lead to war. After a reasonable degree of
discussion, in order that every viewpoint may be con-
sldered' there should be no delay in taking a vote and
thus clearing the way for attention to other pressing
problems.

There is no other source than the peoples purses The
only question there hss ever been in all the hue and
cry with reference to bonus has been the willingness
Of the people and their ability to dig up the money.
Secretary Mellon told the country early in the pro-
eeedings that there was no way by which the Amer
lean taxpayer could avoid the burden Congress has
struggled TO devise some miraculous mesns of obtain
ing the money without anybody knowing II or feeling
the effects; but there is no such means.

AND WHY MOTT

One Of the Rome newspapers ~criticises the United
States for non-participatien in the Genoa meeting,
spying that "the United States tries to make its own
political and financial interests predominant" If par
ticfpation in the Genoa conference would mean max
ing those interests subordinate to European influence
the charge states the exact truth, OF course America
wants TO keep its interests predominant, which it has
n perfect right to do, being the richest and most pow
erful nation in the world. But such a policy does not
necessarily include selfishness. American resources
have been extensively devoted to the rehabilitation of
Europe. The difference is that they have been en-
ployed under American, rather than European, d-
rection.

EYE ON THE MAIN CHANCE,

Combating the theory that Americas great indus
trial progress has been due chiefly to richness of agri-
cultural resources, an eminent authority Hsserts that
Africa has greater agricultural resources than North
America. Now we can understand why Great Britain
took pains to get control of practically all of the AZ
rican continent outside the Sahara desert. England
was not short-sighted when it came to getting a few
assets to counter-baiance her war liabilities.

OF COURSE THEY PAY.

Regardless of the plan that may finally be SVorReL
out in the bonus matter the people ultimately have got
to put up the billions required to pay the obligations.
This holds true whether the soldiers get their money
from bond sales, adjusted service certificates, receipts
from foreign debt. miscellaneous taxes OF sale tax.
