Under a constitutional government
nobody can persistently defy the law
and get away with it. This truth
again has been demonstrated by the
action Of Alexander Howat in calling
off the strike OF miners in the Pitts
burg district. The whole is greater
than any OF it's parts. No amount of
bluff and buster on the part of Howat
can alter the facts. He has been
beaten. So long as the strikers were
maintained in fdleness by their fellow
workers in other parts of the country
a show of resistance could be kept up,
even tho Howat remained in Jail.
When working miners began to with
draw their support and in conse-
quence thereof Howat's followers be-
gan to return to work, there was Moth
ing left fore him but to surrender or
lose whatever semblance of power is
left. to him. The victory won by the
Kansas court of industrial relations
promises to be of far reaching con-
sequences in the future relations of
both employees and employers to the
public.

WY SUGAR IS Low.

Among the rev items entering into
the foo supply of the people that
have returned to pre-war prices, the
most conspicuous is sugar. Probably
sugar prices never would have gone
sky-rocketing as they did during the
war il the government had kept its
hands off the sugar trade.
The present low price of sugar may
be partially explained by the fact that
England since 1914 has decreased her
consumption 100000 tons. France
100000 tons, Austria Hungary 1885,
900 tons. and Germany $4,000 tons.
This was in part caused by decreased
European production, and also large
ly by the high prices on cane sugar
maintained by Cuba
The total world production of SUI
gar for 1920-21 was 16,8OO,O00 tons.
In the year 1914 the production
was IS. 900, 600 tons. The decrease of
100000 tons is largely due to the
decrease in production of European
beet sugar, according to J. E. Karner,
OF New York, a recognized authority
on the sugar question. "Altho the
production of cane sugar has in
creased in quantity from 10000. 600
to 100000 tons, the production of
beet sugar, including the crops IN
North America, has decreased from
$4,000 600 tons to 100000 tons" de-
clares Mr.. Karner. THAT there has
been an overproduction in spite of the
decline appears to- be paradoxical. but
it is nevertheless true, and this is due
chiefly to the pronounced decrease in
consumption of sugar by European
countries"
Mr.. Karner has recently returned to
this country after an extensive survey
of the European sugar situation, in
the course of which he visited prac-
tically every sugar-producing country.
He found that while continental Eu-
rope has not yet. reached a pre-war
status in sugar production. sit is new
ertheless producing a sufficient guam
tity to meet its needs without import
ing from any of the other sugar coun-
tries to any considerable extent"
The department of commerce fig
ures show that for the ten months
ended October 80, 1920, we exported
to European countries. something like
Sic, 1000, 600 pounds of sugar, while for
the same ten months of last year our
sugar exports to these European
countries fell to 656,O0O,OOO pounds.
Our pre-war exports of refined sugar
were relatively unimportant, the an
nual average for the period 1904,
inclusive, being but II, 100000 pounds,
Of which about SO per cent went ia
Europe, and that was taken in the
period 1s10-12, inclusive
There was a large European pro-
duction of beet sugar in pre-war days,
particularly in Germany, Austria and
Russia. Two years prior to the pas
sage of the last Republican tariff law,
Europe sold us 3Ss 900, 900 pounds OF
beet sugar, practically all~of which
came from Germany 1t was the
Payne law of 1909 which started our
own beet sugar factories going and
encouraged the raising of beets.
Even the emergency tariff up to
this time has failed to raise the price
OF sugar to the American consumer.
incidentally, it has failed to benefit
the American producer of sugar.

In discussing the cancellation of the
allied debt to the United States 1t
should not be forgotten that the prin-
cipal allied countries received in war
spoils enough, to pay their obligations
TO us several times over In new ter
ritory, Preparations, supplies and the
destruction of the military and COM
mercial German menace, Great Brit
ain, France and Belgium are far more
wealthy than before the war. On
some of those accretions they can not
cash in at present, but this country
has no intention OF insisting on imme-
date payment of the debts. Man
date territory needs time for the de-
velopmeht of its natural wealth, but
there is no reason why payments tc
the United States should not keer
pace with that development until the
obligations are all extinguished.

The year 1922 promises to show a
more rapid rise in the country's gen

and the public is demonstrating it's
confidence in the future by a greatly

Banks and brokers report that buy

Wages in the iron and steel industry
and principal metal trades, figured on
a basis OF general averages, are down
tosa point only so per cent. above the
level Of 1914. according to the Iron
Trade Review. Sheet mill workers
employed by those companies having
an agreement with the AmaIgamated
Association Of Iron. Steel and Tin
Workers, are receiving but is per cent
more than the 1914 base rate. At the
peak in 1890, they received 1898 per
cent more than the 1914 rate. Tin mill
workers are down to 80 per cent, from
96.5 per cent, at the peak in 1920.
Iron mill workers, including puddIers,
are 47.9 per cent above 1914. Their
wages when highest in 1920 were
21s.s per cent above 1914. These
wage reductions are reflected, to a
considerable extent, in lower prices
for the products Of the mills.

1t is reported that Canada is about
TO float a loan Of 800, 100000 in the
United States. There probably will
be ready sale for the bonds, and at
rate that reflects the great wealth
of the north country, and the ability
of the Canadians to meet their obliga-
tons. Few countries in the world
have a brighter future than Canada.

Allies and Alliances.

AWed by q sense OF the timeliness
of this lesson, in its larger aspects,
we may not shrink from making its
larger and more obvious application.
Rising above the many suggestions for
individual faith and conduct which are
wrapped up in the thrilling story. we
find the old, old issue of the alliances
which a man or a nation ought to
make. Every country is finding this
today a living question. And the an
swer to it is right here The choice
must be on the basis of-simpIe right
and of allegiance to the living God.
Sometimes it seems as if statesman

The dog went along, but evidently with

found that we were not following him
he came to heel again. Still, neither
of us had dog sense enough to guess
what was the matter with him.
Daddy Hiram and l, being merely
stupid humans, were commenting upon

back and barking when he found that
we were still sitting on the doorstep.
