What is past should be a closed book. What is pres- ent is a very serious condition. No profit can come to any element of society by the distress of another. Labor makes up the largest buying and consuming unit in America. It is the business and the need of all forword-looking men to find employment for labor so far as possible and keep it employed: “There is no profit in labor endeavoring to halt or prevent liquidation. Natural laws are immutable. “Wise men among employers and employed will learn auch out of the -experiences of the last few eats ani of today that will be of lasting benefit to em. “The protiteer got a horrible jolt when, before he finished counting his plunder, he found his whole structure collapsed.

Every man who is pessimistic, or who permits the discouragements of the hour to dominate him, is beating a retreat. He is not only. beating a retreat for his own business,"but he js beating a retreat tor all with whom he comes in touch. The time has conte to beat a march, to sound the charge, to quicken the life blood of the nation once more, and out of the apparent defeat of the last 12 months rally for a new charge, a new creative period of work and energy. Forgetting the things that are behind, we must press forward with greater energy to overcome the difficultis which as a nation we have had to ZIBA L. SQUIER. Every man who draws within his business she!!, every man who cancels his contracts or Tefuses to do busin: because of his fear of the future, is beating a retreat. Every man who goes ahead, who has the optimism of the drummer boy and a spirit which dares to do things, is beating a march on to victory. If throughout the entire nation there can be rekindled the drummer boy's fire, we shall soon have optimism and sunshine and prosperity, where today there is pessimism and doubt and despair. , It. was the drummer boy whose work inspired the great Napoleon and his croops.

Thia action was forecast several weeks ago, but the hint came fram allied sources. Even that hint was not new or surprising, for ever since the inability of the allies and Germany to arrive at an agreement on the subject of reparations, was demonstrated a studied effort has been made to draw the United States into the controversy, in one capacity or another. The opinion among the several governments apparently prevailed that if the United States would throw the weight of her opinion and influence in the scale one way or another settlement would be reached. This is all very well, and very natural for debtors and creditors who’ are deadlocked in the matter of settlement, to seek an arbitration.

If such an office were undertaken by President Harding and award made, we have from that instant. lost the friendship and good will of them all. Whatewer the award against Ger- many she will deem it too great and on the other hand the allies will deem it too small. Nothing could be more foolish than to engage in an adjudication of other peoples’ troubles under the ex- isting circumstances. The elaborate machinery set up by the allied gov- ernments in which our former president took part, designed to cover contingencies like the present, has proved utterly useless. Our own people have repu- diated it and instructed us by overwhelming num- ber to avoid European entanglements. We were in no way concerned in the causes that brought on the European war. We abhorred the plunging of millions of people into the bloody con- test. We saw no reason ar necessity for it all. We went as far as we dared in offers to compose mat- ters. When, finally, our own rights were invaded, our country threatened, and civilization itself was in daiiger, we reluctantly entered the war to end it, and against the people whose rulers incited it, precipitated it @md broke every sacred law and agreement in its prdgecution. Our appearance upon the field marked thd beginning of the end. Our participation closed the’ chapter. Then we packed up and came home to Salus the work we had abandoned in the perform- ance of the higher duty. Since that day we have had our own peoples’ judg- ment upon the discharge of solemn obligations placed upon us and their expressed will as to our future course of action. There is no mistaking their man- date. However much we may desire to see a final settle- ment of European troubles it is not for us to play the role of umpire. If Mr. Harding properly interprets the desires of the American people, he will express ap- preciation for the confidence the German government has shown in our sense of justice and fairness in its proposal, and courteously decline to act. There is but one way to settle the German repara- tions question so it will stay settled and the gnly way that Germany can comprehend and that is for the French army to take Beflin by the throat. pS a LIQUIDATION OF LABOR. Richard Spillane, a writer of authority on indus- trie! topics, has contributed to the Philadelphia Pub- lic Ledger an article of much merit and one that will bear repetition. He says: “Liquidation of labor is under way. Railroads are laying off thousands of men, and, in the case of un- skilled workers, reducing wages. Shipyards are cut- ting wages. Oil companies are pruning both as to labor and wages. The same is true of packing houses, paper mills and most large industries. Steel plants are running at reduced schedule. Rubber and auto- mobile companies have little business. Textile mills eee are operating are doing so mostly at lower wage scale. “Liquidation is inevitable. Prices of everything went to unreasonable heights in and following the war period. They had\and have to come down. Com- modity prices and living costs declined appreciably be- fore wages started down. Everything has been on a false level. There can be no security or resumption of activity until things come back to a solid and sound basis. “Unfortunately, some employers find satisfaction in labor’s distress. They remember labor's aggressive attitude when labor was scarce and they want to pun- ish labor. They are fools and worse than fools. “Unfortunately, some labor leaders seek to combat liquidation of labor. They spredd reports that cap- ness is foreign trade. That depends to a great ex- tent upon our tariff. We have, for instance, a 45 per cen tariff barrier against high priced automo- biles. In retaliation France has erected an equal bar- rier against American cars, The trade is ruined. Eng- land, Italy, Belgium, and others have taken or will take similar retaliatory measures if we bar their goods indiscrimnately. Argentina has already shown displeasure and our hope for a great South American trade is staggering. So an indiscriminate high tariff will reduce our foreign trade’both because of direct retaliatory meas- ures and because foreign manufacturers, unable to sell in our markets, will be unable to buy from us. Thus what is intended to be a protection may prove a handicap to business. If it should work out in that way it would decrease taxable income or other sources of internal revenue, and might have an important in- fluence on the necessities of tax revision. On the other hand, it is the consensus of business leaders that the excess profits tax is a burden which helps to maintain the present business depression, thus reducing taxable private incomes. In such case it would appear that the revival of business may de- pend upon both tax revision and tariff revision. And in the final analysis taxes must depend in part upon tariff and tariff upon taxes. What is needed is the highest tariff consistent with an expanding foreign trade. At the same time we want the lowest and most lightly distributed taxes consistent with efficient government. As. internal revenue depends upon business and business depends to an appreciable extent upon tariff, it is evident that properly the two subjects must be considered in re- lation to each other. The tariff may come first to a vote without ill effect if the tax bill has been wisely framed with respect to it. Such an adjustment de- mands careful study by financiers, economists, and trade experts as well as by practical business men. It is not a game to be played by politicians for political profit. The prosperity of the entire country, per- haps for years to come, is at stake. ee Eat THE HALF STRIKE. The Japanese unions have hit upon a very cleve: idea in the employment of the strike as a weapon in industrial affairs. They have what they call a “half strike.” That is one-half the workers strike and quit, the other half continue at work, this makes it appear as though all were not in favor of the strike and this reduces the liability of police arresting the leaders. The employers cannot very well discharge those re- maining at work although it causes the industry to be run at a daily increasing cost. Those who stick to the job support those who are idle. It is a new idea in labor contests. Ms jaa Pah ES WONDERFUL WYOMING. Commissioner C. S. Hill of the state board of im- migration has just issued an elaborate and profusely illustrated pamphlet telling of the scenic beauties and general attractiveness of Wyoming as a summer hol- iday land.
