A TRuCE IN EUROPE

Europe. as represented at Genoa

sides it's adjournment to The Hague.
The nations pledged themselves
unanimously to a period OF non-aG-
.zrcssion against each other. The
reriod is rather absurdly short
onlv eight months instead of the
10 or Is years that Lloyd George
wanted but that is batter than
nothing, and good start toward
something worth while.
It strikes many Americans with
surprise that it should be thought
necessary to declare such a truce.
The nations have not been fighting
lately. The scattered fires lett by
the big war seemed to be dying
out. But talk of war has not died

and also the provokers Of war, have

respite guaranteed, before any pos
sible mnging OF the nations at
each others threats again.
The eight months are for con-
ference, at The Hague and possibly
elsewhere. There would hardly have
been any war in 1914 if the ma
lions had taken eight months to
talk over the situation. Now it is
not so much a question of stopping
war already prepared but of NOV
ing auses-largely economic
which might conceivably lead to
war. e~v-
This summer is going to be q
crucial period for Europe and in
directly for America. 1t will deter
mine whether the Old World is go
ing to profit from the big war and
go forward with wise reconstruction
or going to slip backward toward
destruction. May the truce be used
wisely!

LIFE IN THE WILD


Several years ago Boston ar
tist gained national fame by going
into the Maine woods without food,
clothing, tools or equipment, and
living there for a month without
aid from any human being. lie
emerged at the end Of the month
attired in bear skin and leather
moccasins, with a pretty fair camp
ing outfit of primitive sort, and
weighing several pounds more than
he had weighed when the expert
ment began.
Now another Boston man is to
put himself at the mercy of the
Maine woods, but in company with
his wife. They will pretend that
they are castaways, forced to live
len what nature offers.
Opinions will differ as to
whether this trail is more difficult
than the other was. The main
question, perhaps, is whether a
wife in the wilderness is help
mate or a liability. Some men will
Instantly give the lateer verdict,
despite the well attested fact that
Eve, in the original life a la ma
ture, showed herself ready enough
in helping Adam to food and clio
thing. One thing, at least, is as
sured. There will be no monkey
business about finding shelter, and
whatever kind Of home the man
gains in those woods. it will be
a more comfortable one. than he
would have built alone.
The story will make good read
ing, whether the venture succeeds
or fails. And if it succeeds at it
should, it will add to the whole
some outdoor interest felt newly by
the present genfration.
1t would be strange and disgrace
full il man, after winning the battle
'of long ages for supremacy over
the beasts and the elements should
at last confess himself grown so
weak and degenerate that he could
cope with them no longer on equal
terms.

SHORTER STEEL DAY.

The Al leaders OF the steel in
dustry who conferred with Presi-
dent Harding agreed that the L.
hour day is undesirable and should
be abolished as soon as possible,
They have appointed a committee
of five to make scientific and
careful investigation OF the mat
ter and to report to the industry.
The five or siX-hour day dreamed
of by many theorists is undoubted-
ly too short for the present state
OF the world in most industries and
particularly for the steel industry.
questionably too long.
Twelve hours OF toll needs to be
followed By long period of sleep,
if the body strength is to be main
tanned for anything like reason
able number of years. But with IL
hours work and 10 hours sleep
and some time to eat, where comes
in the recreation, the chance for
advancement, for life itself, to which
every human beng is entitled il
the race is to advance?
An eight-hour day not only al
lows four hours for these things
but really more, because it does
not produce the fatigue which UNI
fits the mind for any movement
or progress after it is over.
Ii is probably too much to hope
that an eight-hour day will follow
at once the twelve-hour period in
the stel works, but il the day moves
down to 10 at first, that will be &
great gain. And the 10-hour mer
will find it easier to move down tt

sent working day. Nor need it be

A SOCIALIST REVIVAL.

The Socialist party announces
that it is going to wage a fight in
every congressional district in the
United States this year. The lead
ers are hopeful. A statement issued
from New York says:
Our reDorts indicate q wide
spread Socialist sentiment, as
well as Indignation among the
masses of workers over the fail
ure of the Democratic and Re-
publican parties to deal effect
lively with the unemployment
problem, the wave of wage re-
auctions and the shortage of
homes
These signs of life are interesting
because of the obscurity into which
American Socialism has fallen since
it polled 100000 votes in the 1919
presidential campaign. During the
war the growing movement suffered
almost a death blow in public ea-
TEEN as q result of the esp0usal Of
the German cause by the Socialist
organization. 1t has shown no CON
vincing sign of recovery since the
armistiee TO unpleasant war memo
ries has been added the disillusion-
ing effect Of the Russian expert
ment. Millions who once felt more
or less friendly toward Socialist
ideas have learned a lesson from the
conspicuous failure of MarXism as
'applied by Lenine and Trotsky.
Can it be true that the Revision
and indifference are vanishing, and
Socialism is becoming 4 word to
conjure with again in America? 1t
is hard to think so.
As for the reasons given for the
alleged revival, surely Socialists
should be able to see that unemploy-
ment has been an economic problem,
of worldwide scope, which they
themselves have not been able to
solve; also that wage reductions were
inevitable, in time of necessary
deflation, and that one Of the chief
causes for the shortage of homes
has been the insistence on high
wages on the part of the very work
men to whom the Socialists make
their chief appeal.

TOO MUCH EDUCATION 5?

Is there such q thing as too much
compulsory education? The presi-
dent of the Cleveland board Of educa-
ton thinks there can be. He said
the other day that while heartily
in sympathy with those who have
fought child labor he is inclined
10 believe that in some cases they
go too far.
Il think results would be bet
ter If we stopped driving the
children to school after they
are IA and saw to it that they
are properly placed in life.
think much of our so-called
compulsory education could be
eliminated, and the money used
for industrial safeguards for
these young persons In my
opinion they would become bet
ter developed citizens than if
they were kept in school. This,
i believe, is one answer to the
ever-expanding costs OF compul-
sorry education. Give education
only to those who are capable of
receiving it,"
This is rather startling doe
srfne, yet fairly good case can be
made for it.
The child of foreign parents who
have always been hand-workers,
hardly able to read and write, can
seldom assimilate the amount of
book-learning which the child of
Woodworking people can absorb
without difficulty. The former can
take, and should be given, more than
his parents had, but there comes q
point beyond which he cannot go to
much advantage. To allow him to
be idle until he is eighteen would
be sad mistake. TO keep him in
classes where he is unhappy, and
whore his presence keeps back stu
dents who are able to go further, is
'also undesirable. There are two So

TREATIES NOT RATIFIED.

Americans learn with surprise that
the treaties resulting from the Wash.
ington arms conference are not vel
in effect, and are not likely to be
for some time to come They do
not become operative until all of
the signatory powers have ratified
them. and exchanged notifications,
and the United States is the only
one of the five big powers that has
taken the necessary steps.
Japan has ratified the Shantung
agreement, and is expected to ratify
the important five-power reduction
treaty and four-power pacific treaty
at any time. But when Great Brit
ain, France and Italy will ratify is
problematical. There is even a
possibility that France may never
do so at all, for that country seems
strangely inclined Of late to play a
