Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire has introduced in the Senate a resolution asking that the agricultural committee of that body investigaty] the advisability of admitting Chinese labor during the period of the war. - The senator is thoroughly alive to the economic danger that threatens this country unless there is a large in¢rease of farm labor for the coming geason. In an interview the senator is quoted as saying: “I think we will - be in a very serious fix unless we get farm lahor. Crops everywhere are unharvested because the labor is leaving the farms. Complaint ‘comes to me, some of it bitter, that while the government asks farmers for increased production the crops cannot be gathered.”* The resolution does not- pro- pose to admit Chinese as citizens or with a view to their permanent resi- dence here, but on somewhat the same terms as American soldiers are sent to France, under the control of their government, to be returned when their labor is no longer needed. The plan at least deserves careful thought. The labor shortage is acute, and does not promise to be any less ‘'so in ‘the future. And if the country is to produce the record crop expected of it another season, there is mo time to be lost in arranging for an adequ"a;.g supply of labor. i THAT OFFIOIAL “INFORMATION” JOURNAL. F e It the Official Bulletin continues to expand we may scon expect to see a compendious magazine issued from the chancel of the censor-swing- ing Creel, at an annual cost of several millions of public money. The is- sue for December 18 contains the President’s denial that he asked Bryan’'s resignation, hardly a matter concerni ng the war, an article on Japanese currency, “The Amusing Incident of- the Accommodating Prizefighter,” by the humorist, Ellis Parker Butler, a thrilling, “Desperate Desmond” story of ballooning “over there”,.by a captain in the aviation corps, and other _matter foreign to the purpose for which the Bulletin was said tobe in- tended. Creel seems to be running the Pulitzer School of Journalism a close heat, the difference being that he pays his students fat salaries monthly. ' SENATOR’S SHIRTS ARE PATRIOTIC. And what if Senator Calder of New York did own some $20 shints? That’s nothing to question a man’s patriotism for. The senator is prob- ably well able to afford them. When he bought them he enabled his mer- cahnt or tailor to make a payment on a liberty bond; the wholesale house also gathered in a mite of profit, and the manufacturers of the cloth, like- wise the makers, and even the seamstress who sewed their seams may have had an extra supper from the proceeds. It is such men as Senator Calder who keep the Wheels of commerce rolling. If every man wore the cheapest clothes he could find, the higher priced.ones would mildew on the shelves and famine would stalk through tlie land. Let the senator wear $50 shirts if he wants to and is able. The Russian Bolsheviki seem to have been thanded @ lemon in the German peace proposals. The Kaiser’s government modestly demanded control of the Russian wheat market for a period of fifteen years, that she retain all Russian territory now occupied by her troops, and that all Ger- man-made goods be imported into Russia duty free. Doubtless there were & few minor “concessions she would have also, but she hoped to have no trouble in securing these when she had her victim securely tied. But even a Bolsheviki has glimmerings of reason and the proposition was not re- celved with enthusiasm: The Kaiser is quoted as saying that all he wants is justice, and the Allied world is of one mind in the determination that he gets it—and in full measure. The probabilities are, however, that his kaisership won’t recognize the article when he sees it coming. A news item informs us that women’s dreés styles for 1918 will effect a 25 percent saving in material. Wonder, now, which end they’ll economize at this time. Ex-Czar Nicholas is said to have escaped from Sibepia. Interesting developments are possible shold he decide to make an effort to regain his lost crown. The dodo is not the only ‘blrd to suffer extinction. There is also the “stand pat Republican” and the ‘“yaller dog Democrat.” B Packagé AS I "BUSINESS AND Pnurfissnum | ; DR. J. W.
