ATTORNEY GENERAL DAUGH.

erty advised President Coolidge that
the Lasker-Farley plan for solving
the merchant marine problem is not
legal, thus once more throwing into
the laps of government officials the
task of formulating a shipping pol
icy. Under the shipping act, the At
torney General held, the governments
vessels may be disposed of only for
cash or credits and their transfer, as
proposed by the Lasker-Farl plan,
to corporations organized under state
laws would be unlawful. The inten-
ton of, Congress, he said, limits dis
position of the fleet to actual sales
and not transfers of title. Receipt OF
cash or credit extending not over
fifteen years is an express limitation
of law, the opinion added.

In this age of errors and confusion.
witnessing the subversion of ideas
that constitute the foundations of
society, it is fortunate to be able to
say that one vital principle has re-
mained intact. 1t is the homage paid
to mothers. They have been the in
spiration of social and moral life
from the beginning of the world, and
they have been the power that has
always saved the world from decay
and corruption. And the American
mother has been the tutelary genius
of America from the day of its birth,
uniting the character of the Spartan
mother, ever urging her children for
ward on the path of honor, duty and
ardent patriotism, to the character of
the Athenian mother, cultivating the
charms and refinements of home life.
America will live and flourish so long
as American children will love and
respect their mothers. And the chill

1t is little bit surprising to find
the following on the editorial page of
the Chicago Tribune under the cap
ton, "Comfort in the Labor Short
age;
"The present return to prosperity
in the United States has brought
with it the usual cry of a shortage of
labor The United States steel cor
poration began to complain some time
ago. Last week it raised wages IL
per cent. 1t was the second raise in
few months. Building employers
are signing contracts with labor at
advanced rates. Many factories have
raised wages.
Large employers are lobbying
against immigration restriction. They
want to let in cheap labor Smaller
employers are complaining that labor
overhead is eating up their profits
LET even these compare the present
situation with that of two years ago
and they will choose the present. Bet
ter a shortage than a surplus of labor
"To say that the supply of labor
is below the demand is to say that
the supply goods produced by labor is
below the demand. That promises a
continuation of demand both for
goods and for labor That means
prosperity. That is what we have
and what we hope to see continue
Gwen among those who complain
of the labor shortage and the high
overhead costs of business in conse-
quence we note few failures compared
with the time when we had surplus
of labor and consequent low overhead
Between the two situations, we'll
choose the one of labor shortage
rather than labor surplus. If the
present status of labor, business and
prosperity in this country means
trouble, we're gluttons for punish
ment, and we believe the workers and
most business men will take some
