NXTHILE the Lausanne Near East
w peace conference marked time,
awaiting action by the premiers in
Paris, the Turks were bolstering up
their courage, or obstinacy, to stand
firm in opposition to the demands of
the British. In the national assembly
at Angora the majority seemed to be
against the making of any further con-
.cessions to the allies, and it was re-
ported that instructions were tele-
graphed to Ismet Pasha to continue
his resistance to allied pressure on the
questions of Mosul and capitulatfons.
On the other hand, Marquis Curzon re
turned from his holiday in Paris with
auth orization from Bonar Law to re-
fuse all Turkish demands that already
had been rejected. The British appear
not the least alarmed by Turkish
threats Of warfare.

Europe's problems. President Harding

of the senate, to appoint person or
persons to represent the United States

This move was approved by the
President, who has long desired that
the United States have full represen-

He feels. that this country can most eff

provided increased pensions for veter-

because, he said, it would cost the gov

MODIFICATION of the immigration
4VA restriction law SO that the exist
ing shortage of labor in the United
States may be relieved is being strong
~ urged by the farm organizations and
the large Industries, which have joined
hands in the movement. On Thursday
the house committee on immigration
heard the proposals of a committee of
the International Manufacturers asso-
citation, which were formulateG in con-
sultation with agricultural leaders and
are backed by senators and congress
men from the leading industrial and
agricultural states. The committee
made these recommendations
1. That in fixing the quota of each
nationality of otherwise admissible
aliens under the present law, due re-
gard should be given to the ascer-
tanned annual emigration from the
United States of persons of such ma
tionality.
2. That the secretary Of labor shall
be authorized, upon the presentation to
him of satisfactory evidence of con-
tinuing shortage Of labor of particu-
lar class or type, to admit otherwise
admissible aliens in excess of the
quota until, in his judgment, such con-
dition is improved.
3. That provision shall be made for
physical examination of aliens at ports
of embarkation or where their pass
ports are vised except that such re-
Quirement shall be waived upon assur-
ances of another government that sat
isfactory examination has been made.
Organized labor, of course, is bitter
ly opposed to any such relaxation of
the restrictions, holding that increased
immigration of alien labor will result
in lower wages. Samuel Gompers says
there would be no labor shortage if the
industries from which alien competi-
ton has driven natiye-born workers
would pay unskilled labor wages per-
hitting an American standard of liy-
ing. 1t is predicted that the house will
pass a bill which provides for no ma
terial relaxation and that the manufac-
turers and agriculturists will renew
their plea before the senate.

THE UNITY OF SOCIETY
By DR.. Frank Crane

Mr.. George e. Roberts, vice president OF
the National City Bank, made good speech
the other day at the Washingtons Birthday
Celebration of the Union League Club Of
Chicago.
In his speech he emphasized the essential
unity of modern society.
We are really as consolidated as we would
be under socialism, but we do not realize 1t.
eve have developed" he said, IAN intricate,
highly specialized industrial system, in which
each of us does some one thing, which often
has little direct relation to his own wants,
and depends upon satisfying his wants by ex-
changing products and services with others.
It is a wonderfully effective system when all
in balance and running in order, but 1t is an
interdependent system. 1t is like great
machine in which every part is dependent
UPON all the other parts.
Moreover it is a great voluntary system,
and its efficiency is largely dependent upon
good understanding, good feeling, and CO.
operation among all the groups and mem
bers that compose 1t, and that is not easily
maintained. Emerson said that the real test
Of civilization was in Facility of Association
the ability Of people to understand each
other get along together, and work together
for common purposes. Most of our troubles,
it seems to me, are due to the fact that we
beyond the comprehension of the common
man."
The same unity which exists in our ma
tional life Is also essential in our interna-
tionaI life. He gives the following illustra-
ton Of this:
"a curious reaction from the collapse Of
Russia is seen in the relations between that
country and India. India is a great tea
producing country and Russia formerly was a
great tea-consuming country. India did not
trade directly with Russia She took her lay
for the tea in cotton goods and other exports
from Great Britain, and Great Britain took
pay from Russia for the tea in foodstuffs and
raw products. 1t was three-cornered trade.
The inability of Russia to take the Indian
tea affected the ability of India to take cot
ton goods from England, the falling off in
the demand for cotton goods made 1921 the
worst year the British cotton goods industry
had experienced since the American civil
war, and the inability of England to sell cot
ton goods sent the price of raw cotton in
the United States from 43 cents pound in
1920 to II cents in 1921, and that decline in
the principal product of our southern states
affected all the industries of this country"

TT AVE you made any effort to familiarize
II yourself with the principles of efficient
o. - craftsmanship?
mo-" you perhaps answer, ~ have not.
have never even thought of doing so, for the
reason that I am not a salesman. l have
nothing to SELL
Really, though, you must have something
to sell-if you do any kind of work whatso-
ever.
AS a teacher, aren't you trying to sell edu-
cation to the children in your charge ? Isn't it
your principal effort SO to influence their
minds that they will appreciate the impor-
lance of growing in knowledge, and in ability
to think?
What is this but Selling" education to
them?
Or if you are preacher, don't you desire
above all ELSE to convince your parishloners
of the truth and value of religious belief?
The goods you deal in, as contrasted with the
goods dealt in by business statesmen, are in
tangible and spiritual, to be sure. But if only
for that reason you plainly ought to make
yourself an adept in the art of selling.
AS a banker, you cannot but wish to sell.
your bank as completely as possible to the
community in which it is located AS an art1-
san--a carpenter, painter, mechanic-you
at least find it necessary to sell your services
to somebody.
Manifestly the more people to whom you
can sell them the more you will prosper. SO
you again. ought to be student of salesman
ship.
Let me tell you, too, that though you may
not hitherto have regarded salesmanship
entering at all into your profession or trade,
an increasing number of people who arc not
professional statesmen are beginning to APP y
ciate that knowledge Of craftsmanship is val"
liable to them. .-7
Last winter the commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts, as part of it's university extension
work, started a night course in craftsmanship.
The response was great that, almost at
once, two large classes had to be formed.
Their membership included-still includes
not only present aQd prospective statesmen
in the usual meaning of the term, but several
teachers, cIergymen, and business executives.
Recently interviewed, the class instructor,
George H. Tracy as reported in the Boston
Globe, made this interesting statement:
"Some of the teachers are taking up the
study of craftsmanship because they feel that
it helps them in their work. One woman
came to me and told me that she had bene-
fitted good deal in her own work because or
the course. She found 1t easier to get her
ideas over to the children"
To persuade, to convince to influence, TO
satisfy-these are the great purposes which
all statesmen must have in mind Surely it is
self-evident that they are purposes every
worker similarly needs to keep in mind, since
his success is invariably conditioned by the
impression he makes on other people.
And, though the means of making an I'M
preston necessarily vary somewhat with the
character of the work, the laws of persuasion,
conviction suggestion, and satisfaction re-
main ever the same. They will be found
clearly stated in good elementary treat1ses on
craftsmanship. Hence the value of such trea"
tises to workers in general
