DESTRUCTION TO FRUIT BY
JAPANESE BEETLE ALARMING
MANY GROWERS DISCUSSING
PLANS TO ERADICATE THE PEST
Hopes Entertained That a Parasite
Imported From Japan Will Do
Much to Break Up the Ravages


Delaware was represented at a con-
ference on Wednesday to discuss
means of combating the Japanese bee
tie. The meeting was held at River
ton, N. j. Entomologists of the East |
ern States were present ,on invitation |
of the Federal government, which has
established a laboratory at RivertOn
to study the insect pest. While the
beetle has not yet appeared in Della
ware, the southeastern counties in
Pennsylvania and several counties in
New Jersey where it has appeared
have been placed under quarantine.
Ralph c. Wilson, secretary of the Del
aware State Board of Agriculture ac-
companied by members of that body,
motored to Wilmington early on We'd
nesday morning. Here they were join
ed by Captain Clarence NJ. Dillon, as
sistant secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, and continued their jour
ney by automobile to Riverton. A
| thorough inspection and survey of the
district affected by the Japanese bee
tie was made with view to eXtermi-
mating the pest, which is highly de-
structive to vegetable life and farm
crops generally. Hopes are held out
that a parasite which has been i'm
ported by the government from Japan
will do much to rid this country of the
beetle. Quarantine measures were
| discussed and a plan of warfare
against the pest considered. The Jap
anese beetle, which is working de-
struction in various parts of the east,
has struck Kent county, Maryland and
Chestertown with vengeance. Many
of the choice fruit trees in that town
are falling prey to the ravages of the
insect, which eats the leaves. Beau
tiful elm trees on Mt. Vernon Place
are being destroyed and cherry, apple
and peach trees seem to be special
prey. None of the insecticides now
in use seem to have any effect upon
the beetle, and fruit growers in the
Maryland county are becoming alarm
ed at the future prospects unless the
insect can be controlled.

THINGS COMING OUR WAY

1t is little bit surprising to find
the following on the editorial page of
the Chicago Tribune under the cap
tion 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
Corporation began to complain some
time ago. Last week it raised wages
II per cent. 1t was the second raise
in a few months. Building employers
are signing contracts with labor at
advanced rates. Many factories have
raised wages.
Large employers of labor are
lobbying against immigration restric-
ton. Thew want to let in cheap labor
Smaller employers are complaining
that labor overhead is eating up their
Profits.
LET even these compare the pre-
sent situation with that of two years
ago and the" will choose the present.
Better a shortage than a surplus of
labor.
"To say that the supply of labor is
below the demand is to say that the
supply of goods produced by labor is
below the demand. That promises a
continuation of demand both for
goods and labor. That means pros
perity. That is what we have and
what we hope to see continue.
Even 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 a surplus
of labor and consequent low over
head.
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
with u.s."

Bakers Strike Against
Ward Baking Co.
(By Federated Press)

New York-What is believed to be
the opening gun in fight to bring
about open shop conditions through
out this state-an order by the Ward
Baking Co. reducing wages, lengthen-
ing working hours and instituting the
open shop--has been met with a strike
order which is expected to call out
5000 members of the Bakery and Con-
fectionery Workers union in the
Ward plants. The concern is one of
the largest baking companies in the
country. 1t has plants in New York
City, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Boston,
Baltimore, Chicago, Newark, SYRIA
cuse, Columbus, Youngstown and
South Bend.
The Ward company, which is at
tempting to enforce a 10 per cent
wage reduction, last year-cut wages
35 per cent, and the reduction was ac-
cepted by the workers in order to
maintain collective bargaining in the
industry. Shortly afterward the COM
pany's dividends We're increased 8 per
cent Now in addition to the threaten
ed 10 per cent wage cut, the company
has ordered the discontinuance of bo-
nus wages for night work, and an
nounced that the siX-hour minimum
working time will be abolished.

WHY WAS THE WAR?

Mr.. Mcdaniel of the War Depart
ment, spoke in Washington the other
day in favor of vocational training.
Let US hope that all efforts in aid of
vocational training will succeed 1t
is a type of education which we ne
glect, and this neglect is the chief
defect in our system.
But when Mr. Mcdaniel illustrated
his point by saying that half the
soldiers in the late war were so badly
educated that they did not know for
what they were fighting, we nause
and scratch DIR head.
Can Mr. Mcdaniel tell US now
what it was for which we were fight
ing? If he can, after four years of
so-called peace, will he speak up and
inform a puzzled world?
Was it to make the world safe for
democracy?
That is what we were told when the
boys were examined, but when was
democracy in worse case over most
of the world than now, four years
after we wor?
Was it to establish peace? Well,
there has never been a moment of
peace since our victory, and nothing
but the prostration of the nations
prevents war on half a dozen fronts
tomorrow. The Temple of Janus
stands with open doors. More men
are under arms than before the war
If one could examine the papers of
the college graduates and the officers
of the late war, one would find that
none of them knew what we were
fighting for. Broadly speaking, no.
body knew. We only thought we
knew An unlettered hillbilly in one
camp, when asked what We were
fighting for, said, "To lick Ger
many"
And that was as good an answer
as any.
The war had no known purpose ex-
cept to lick Germany and to preserve
this countrv from future risk. And
whatever purpose for good it had,
even that Of defeating Germany,
seems to have been forfeited in .
peace which is as bad as war.
That is the tragedy of 1.-THE most
ignorant boor knew as much about it
for all practical purposes as the best
educated recruit. Education will
never cure this. Nothing can cure it
except new world organization put
ting into effect a new spirit Of world
democracy-through a new kind Of
Statesman.-EXchange.
Hasn't the writer of the above re-
allied yet for what we were fighting?
If Mr.. Mcdaniel would tell the truth he
would have to say that we went into
the war in order to save the allies
neck and the millions and billions of
dollars which Banker Morgan and his
associates had loaned to them.
Fighting for democracy was only used
as a sugar-coated pill to make it go
down better with the American public

BY ALL MEANS. RECOGNIZE
MEXICO

1t is to be hoped that nothing will
be permitted to interfere with the
negotiations now in progress looking
to the recognition of Mexico.
Obregon has established a stable
government. The people of Mexico
are enjoying larger measure of
political and industrial freedom than
has fallen to their lot during any
previous period in the history of our
southern neighbor. Life and property
are as safe in the City of Mexico as in
the City of Washington.
Recognition by this country has
been postponed because Mexico has
refused to grant certain fnanciers all
they demanded
The attempt of our State Depart
ment to sustain the claims Of these
spectators has not reflected credit on
our government.
So far as the American people are
concerned, they are willing to recog-
nize any government which truly rep
resents the people of Mexico. Of
course, they want Mexico to treat
THEY DO NOT DEMAND SPECIAL
PRIVILEGES FOR AMERICAN IN
VESTORS. They feel that when an
American takes his dollar across the
border he should be prepared to sub
ject himself and his dollars to the
laws Of Mexico. That is what they
would expect of any Mexican who
might come into this country seek
ing investments, and the policv which
is good enough for Mexicans in the
United States should be good enough
for Americans in Mexico.-Labor.

LIFE OF CAPITAL

The common notion that Capital is
a sort of thing Ike a mountain, that
it lasts forever, is entirely wrong.
On the contrary, CAPITAL is an ex-
ceedingly human thing, and is as sub
ject to disease as any man. 1t is as
hard to raise Capital as it is to raise
sickly baby. 1t also undergoes
disease as fatal as measles and scarlet
fever, and is >emphatically subject to
senility.
Some statistical shark on a New
York paper has estimated that if
King Tut-Ankh-Amen, instead of
burying his treasures in his tomb,
had turned it into money, and in
vested it, the interest would have
brought the amount to date to fifty
quindecillion dollars. Written in
figures that would be and 49 ciphers
at the right hand.
This sum of money that surpasses
the imagination and would probably
be an amount equal to all of the
property owned by human beings.
AS a matter of fact, Mr.. Tut's
money, if he had invested it would
have disappeared long ago.
Most of the great fortunes of the
past, the huge wealth units, repre-
sented by Midas, Croesus, the Medici,
the Fuggers and the other rich men
of history, have been entirely dissi-
pated.
CAPITAL IS A SIAMESE TWIN,
JOINED FOR LIFE OR DEATH
WITH THE OTHER TWIN-LA-
BOR. IF ONE OF THEM DIES
THE OTHER DIES SHORTLY.
1t would clarity our thinking if we
kept this fact in mind.

SUPREME COURT NOT POPULAR

Roger w. Babson, adviser to big
business, says the minimum wage de-
cision has given impetus to Senator
Borah's campaign to require seven
votes in the U. S. supreme court to
nullify acts of congress. The proposal
will have support of a "large body
of public opinion" Babson declares:
at will be the lawyers who will line
up against such an amendment to the
constitution" says his bulletin. "Just
now the lawyer is not as popular as
at one time and therefore the PROPOSAL
stands a good chance. Some conces-
sion to the change in sentiment in
congress is to be expected and new
ruling on the supreme court may be
the one that will be granted"

GARY'S VIEWS CONDEMNED

In an open letter to Judge Gary,
Henry A. Wise Wood tells the steel
trust head that his immigration nolicy
is mistake. Mr.. Wood is an in
ventor. He informs Judge Gary the
day of immigration is drawing to a
close and that "the fact that our cor
porations desire cheap immigrant la
Dor is the very last ground upon
which our people will consent to pro-
long it."
Mr.. Woods letter is indicative of
popular resentment against recent
immigration speech bv Judge Gary.
That the latter is aware of his un-
popular position is shown by an "eX-
PLANTATION" he later gave to newspaper
men.
