MARITIME TRANSPORTATION
 RESTORED TO NORMAL.

With thousands of dock workers and marine transport employees hastening back to jobs vacated by them almost three months ago when the long shoremen's strike began maritime transportation will shortly be put back normal basis. All of the issues involved have been submitted to arbitra- tion The called-of general strike in San Francisco has slipped into the past. Again have peace on the waterfronts from Seattle to San Diego and all is quiet the western labor front The wish is fervent that it may long continue.
 In the arbitration proceedings, labor rest assured it will get proper recognition Gen Johnson, who figured largely in abors decision to call off the general strike by promising to get justice for the maritime and dock workers, has announced he will be on hand personally to intervene in the proceedings of the board. There must be no attempt to trick undermine union labor. This view emphatically voiced few days ago by Mayor Ross of San Francisco when he warned that the ending of the general strike must not be construed to mean that San Francisco either will desire will tolerate any attempt to destroy union labor or invade its rights"
 Employers will be well-advised to proceed in the arbitration conference with that thought in mind. If they accept union labor and insist that it recognize its responsibilities under the contracts growing out of the arbitration well agree to accept their own responsibilities, the future should not be marred by reptition of such strike as that which has paralyzed and coastwise commerce the Pacific Coast for almost three months

Fire losses in National Forests were cut in half in l933 the United States Forest Service finds No small part of this is credited to the Civilian Conservation Corps which put in 686 709 days fighting forest fires in the course of l2 months.
 This is but of multitude of services per formed by this organization. Statistics take on interest when they portray the work of the CCC. These young have strung l5241 miles of telephone wire, built 274 lookout houses and 355 lookout towers, cleaned away brush and other fire hazards from 1000 miles of roads and trails These tasks refer only to the protection of the public forests from fire
 In addition the CCC has planted 100000 acres of forest, has treated 1666637 of timber for insect pests, has made ground water surveys cover ing 891 209 acres and has constructed 1,l70 ponds for the conservation of fish and birds These are records chosen at random from impressive list of the items that make up years work

The Gold Standard Countries.
Manchester, Eng. Guardiano

It was officially announced in Rome on Saturday that the Fascist Government had approved further salary reductions amounting to over f6000000 Every civil servant earning more than f2 week mas suffered in oroer that the budget may be balanced similar procedure has been taking place in France In both countries a falling off in the revenue has necesstated what amounts to general forcing down of wages What is not, however generally realized is that reduction in costs and wages what is called ccmitant of clinging to the gold standard. M Paul Reynaud stressed this point in remarkable speech delivered in the French Chamber last week 'lhere is he said "an indsputable axiom: if you keep up prices the franc must fail; if you wish to main- tain the franc you must lower prices. How does this position come about? It is in this way. Coun- tries that remain the gold standard when other countries leave it buy their imports more cheaply Either those imports compete with home grown products and force down prices in that way or they are the materials of domestic manufactures and reduce The opposite process should occur in the non-god countries; the cost of their imports rises and so due their price level risess evils of an unsteady price level both groups clap on high tariffs and quotas, and thus the ordinary economic adjustments not allowed to work. But the exports of the gold standard countries being more expensive find greater difficulty in surmount ing the trade barriers And the only solution that remains open to them is to go off gold to reduce wages.

Officials of the companies declared there have been entirely unexpected benefits" from the employee representation feature, which practically all auto mobile plants now have. Some who when work on the promulgation of the code started last year. were not in sympathy with any phase of the labor pro visions except those relating to maximum hours and the minimum wage for the period of the emergency" asserted after the Detroit conferences that the new understanding between employers and employees has brought about distinct advantages in the form of improved products that outweigh increased labor costs'
 Referring to "the closer understanding that has developed between the worker and the manage ment in recent months prominent company official said:

In this case all the aid in the power of England to give was to be offered to Fance. A German aviator was killed in mid-air in clash with a French aviator at Longaty. The Russian fleet was driven back taking refuge in the Gulf of Finland as the re- suit of a battle fought with the German fleet off Aland Island the previous day in one of the early battles of the most terrible war since the fall of the Roman Elm pire. Norway, Sweden and Italy had declared their neutrality in the great war while Switzerland, Holland and Belgium were mobI- izing armies preparing for war. Montenegro announced it would fight beside Servia. Germany sent an ultimatum to Belgium offering to protect her provided Belgium facilitated movement of German troops, while Belgium sent a supreme appeal to England to safeguard the integrity of Belgium Lord Kitchener was recalled from Egypt to take command of the British army. Europe was seething with strife and already food prices scared and famine began to stalk through the continent.
