That call ap- peals to the public imagination, for it means risk, adventure, perhaps death, at all events glory. | But the American people | seem to realize that just now, an even more imperative call. It is the call for the worker behind the lines who is no less essential than the | soldier on the field of battle. 1st what is the condition of that field of activity which makes the sol- dier's shells, his cannon, his rifles, his airplanes, his clothing, his shoes; which prepares the food he eats and builds the ships that carry him over the ocean and supply his neceds after he gets there?

But the total produc- tion for the same period will have been from seventeen to twenty mil- lion tons. Why? Not from a shortage of iron ore, but from a shortage of coal. And why a shortage of coal? Because the men mining it are lured away by more attractive jobs. Also we have a short- | age of transportation needs. This is due to a direct shortage of rail- way men than to the above-mertioned shortage of steel, which hampers the raflroads in securing the necessary equipment.

We have hesitated to conscript labor largely, perhaps, because of the dras- tic differences of opinion on the sub- ject. There is @ point to the argument that men should not be conscripted to make profits for others, and the sovernment selzure of plants to avoid this is another thing itself to be | avoided except'as a last measure to ! | win the far. | | The riew Selectlve Draft bill should do much to solve the difficulty, for this will permit the War Department to extend its “work or fight" order to men included within the new age limits. But it may be necessary that cven more stringent measures be ta- ken such as the curtatlment, by one means or another, of non-essential trades or occupations which are keep- ing in their employment persons need- ed for war work. The public is looking to the gov- ernment to do this rather than to consider itself duty-bound to cease buying non-essential articles, Such boycott would not work out fair cither to consumer or producer.

As a matter which concerns its patriotism and its interest in jus- tice and the winning of the war, it | should know. Those of its members who can add one to the army of use- ful war workers should know.

It is well enough to take every pre- but it is doubtful wisdom for the Provost Marshal General to be talking about the possibility of draft riots. There were draft riots during the Civil War because of belief in the unfairness of the law and because a drafted man with money could pur- chase a substitute.

Bishop Peter J. Muldoon, Bishop Joseph Schrembs, Bishop Patrick J. Hayes and Bishop William T. Russell, com- posing the administrative committec of the natlonal Catholic war council, issued today the following statement: “The announcement of the return to the original plan of one common drive for war work funds for all the related war activities is heartily welcomed by | the national Catholic war council. Wa have from the beginning hoped for a (common drive because it enables us all to stand an the common platform of American citizenship and briags out clearly that the aim of all these or- ganizations is one and the same, rec- reational aid to the men in the serv- ice. “Questions of religlous differences have no place in such a service, which shauld be extended to all soldiers aad sailors without regard to creed or col- or; nor in a drive for funds to which {all citizens of any and every denomi- nation contribute. The harmonious ac- tion in support of the government for | recreation work for our soldiers, which the comman drive symbolizes, deserves {and has ever received our heartiest co-operation. “It offers an unequalled opportunity | for all American citizens to work to- gether in the common cause now so urgent and so dear to us. Every act of ours has been directed toward building up this patriotic co-opera- tion, the attainment of which is even | more important than financial success. | All of the organizations concerned have come to an amicable agrecment | as to budgets and distribution with the approval of the government. Thus happily united in single-hearted devo- tion to our country, one cammon ap- peal will reach from one end of Amer- ica to the other and fiad a response in itevery true American heart. “That the president, the secretary of war, the secretary of the navy, the chairman of the commissions on train- ing camp activities, have brought about {the broad unfon of all welfare war workers without division or discrimi- | nation, only confirms the great re- spect which we have held for their wide visian and broad-mindedness. The national Catholic war council, which includes every variety of war work done by Catholics, was organized I that it might offer the emtire services | of the Catholic hody in co-operation { with all other citizens to the support | of the government in the winning of the war.
