Hopeful Employment Figures.
(New York Times.)


 The data submitted to the Labor Convention by Secretary Perkins of the Labor Department covering as they did the country's actual incease in manu- featuring employment since the low level of l935, provide accurate measure of the change than could possibly be derived from the much discussed figures of unemployed on relief The departments s data approach the problem from different side It lis not at all certain how far the dscourgaing com parisons of unemployment affected by addition Ito official list of casual workers or of laborers who were unemployed in 1883 but did not then or for some time afterward apply for public relief. Neither lis allowance often made for those who are for the first time reaching the recognized of employment. In any case attempts to compute the exact number of unemployed workers, compared with one, two or three years ago. beset with difficulties, and may easily lead to wholly inaccurate conclusions.
 Miss Perkins figures concern actual numerical employment. They were compiled from returns made Ito the department by separate establishments in about ninety industries In the departments regular month fly reports employment the changes visualized by reducing aggregate number of workers employed the percentage which that total bears to the monthly average of the period 19231925 From these monthly percentages-for August it 87l per cent, against 588 in March 1933-it has been manifest enough that with occasional reaction, actual employment has been increasing substantially But Miss Perkins gives the actual change in number of employed According to her figures the total staff of workingmen in the porting manufacturing industries exceeds by more than 4,400000 the number reported in March, 1883.
 Measured by the monthly percentages this would represent increase during the -a-half year period of nearly 39 per cent. In 1882 the average number of aborers employed in all months of the year. las estimated by the department 5374200 Last March, when manufacturing employment was at the highest of any month in the present as yet re- ported on the total was 69O630 This is increase Iof 28A per cent. Weekly payrolls in the manu featuring industries Miss Perkins further showed had risen from $75O00O0O in March, 1883, to than $40 900 in some month of 1885.
 When it is considered that these comparisons affect only factory employment and do not cover either manufacturing industries public works, the picture is not discouragng. Actual number of em- ployed is still considerably below the general average of 193O (which in manufacturing was 8875 O00) and is naturally much further below 1929. But all of this years monthly reports have shown larger numerical employment than the average of 1881.

Bargaining for Security.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

N0---~--~~N-
 For France and England, the stakes of the present crisis considerably larger than those of Italy in Africa The British concerned with their sea power in the Mediterranean, and the French with their security on the Continent, particularly with reference to possible German aggression in Austria Back of all this is the broader question of whether the League of Nations is to become in reality an agency for the enforcement of peace treaties.
 The diplomatic activity of the past week. there fore, has not been merely an attempt to prevent or stop Italys colonial It has been sparring match between two very friendly Powers England and France. The French have demanded the price of their aid to Britain flat promise of British aid in some future European crisis The British have agreed and committed to act if any Power in Europe ventures to encroach on the territory of a League member anywhere in Europe.
 In return, the French have agreed to lend their navy to support Britains if it should be attacked in the Mediterranean. These two commitments taken together mean the resurrection of the old Entente Cordiale, virtual defensive alliance of the two strong est Powers of Europe. In addition great prestige is added the League for the armed force of the two Powers is placed back of the Covenant.
 Whether this united front of Britain and France will application of vigorous sanctions against Italy remains to be seen. That depends on obtaining unanimous agreement at Geneva. But in any event, the politics of Continental Europe has passed through a virtual revolution England longer regards her frontier the Rhine but accepts responsibility for helping to maintain peace in all Europe France alignS her navy with that of Britain when the atters vast interests endangered. More than ever Europe is returning to the old alliance system but with very important difference-the Entente Cordiale is com mited to act when the League of Nations calls for action, and to refrain when it does not decide.
