EXCESS JOBHOLDERS

Exclusive of War Department civilian employees outside of the continental United States, the numbers of civilians employed in the executive branch of the Federal Government actually in January by 2423 compared with the preceding month. Even more significant in the opinion of Senator Byrd chairman of the Joint Committee Reduction of Nonessential
 penditures is the fact that dsregarding reductions m tfe War and Navy Departments, the remaining war and peacetme agencies gained more than 3oooo em- ployees during the month.
 We think Senator Byrd is warranted ln sounding a word of warning against this trend Admittedly some postwar Government establishments will have to take on new functions and responsibilities that are an ougrowth of the war But the increased work load VIII not require retention of civilian personnel force anywhere near large the 21a million civilian personnel establishment located in the United States to say nothing of the more than 100000 civilian employees of the War Department outside our con uenal limits It is only necessary to contrast these huge totals with the 1889 figure of 92oooo civilian employees to reach the conclusion that we still have on the Federal payrolls many thousands of superfuous employees.
 Senator Byrd indicates that one reason for the
 recent overall increases in personnel of some agencies is unwingness to dismiss temporary war-service em

ployees to make room for returning veterans. The placement of veterans s the Senator recog- nized responsibility, but the Government is under no obligation express implied, to find other Govern ment jobs for displaced war-servce employees holding temporary appointments.
 Considering the rapid demobilization of the armed forces certainly that reductions should have proceeded much rapidly in of the civilian personnel of the War and Navy Departments which are responsible for the preponderant proportion of wartime increases in the number of Federal civilian employees If the budget is ever to be balanced and halt called to progressive imitation, must resolve to eliminate unnecessary expenditures. One way to do that is to speed up denobzation of the Govern ment's war-servce civilian employees.

Exit Japan, Enter China
(New York Times

(New York Times
 News that some Japanese import and export trade is about to be resumed merely undernes what Japan lost as the result of her adventure in military im- uerialism Before the war according to current Department of Commerce report nearly two-thirds of her imports went in the form of lowpriced goods to Far Eastern countries. The total-somethng over $500 GOO 900 year-was not great measure money today The opportunities were illimtable. An in- crease of few dollars year in the average income of the Chinese for instance would have vastly expanded Japans market If she had been patient and tactful she might have enriched herself out of this growing commerce She will now, apparently, be allowed to export silk rayon, cotton and porcelain chiefly in return for foodstuffs, but she will not grow rich
 Curtarnent of Japanese trade, on the other hand will probably stimulate the industralizalion of China Some progress this direction has been made during the war When the Japanese occupied the coastal regions some of the machinery rescued and some new industries were created ip the southwest and northwest. The Japanese themselvs converted the coastal industries to their purposes and expanded heavy manufacturing in North China. But the China of today is still three-fourths gricuturalreckoned by population almost the exact of the United States Enormous capital investments, most of them financed by foreign loans, will be necessary before she catches up with the machine-conscious Oceident Years must pass. The pertinent quetson today is whether she has definitely started on an industrial trend which will some day make her nearly self sufficient.
 The principal doubt at the moment is when and whether China will full control of the resources Of Manchuria Of the two basic industrial necessities coal is fairly well distributed but the bulk of the iron ore reserves is in North China and largely in Man. churia During the the Japanese are said to have discovered rich iron deposits in the Yau Valley just across the river from Korea. If the Russians should take this iron the development of China in- dustry would be sadly handicapped In the long run enc cannot suppose that half billion Chinese will be kept from using their resources and undertaking their country. But the disappearance of Japan as dominant military and economic power does not auto nlaticaly give China the green light She will not an open door of her own, which American influence ought to help her to get before she go forward
