Even if there were no need for soldiers overseas—and that need is appar-mt—it would be a fine organ- ization that could land them home in a year.

But some ships and scme men must stay until a permanent peace blesses the world."” Turning to the the secretary “The American navy must be in- creased and strengthened. ‘I am ask- congress not to make any new de- partures, but to authorize another three-year program. “The United States lost less by the war than any other great nation.

This again means that our banking system must adapt itself to such demands, a step that would, temporarily at least, make New York the world’s first banking center, and will in any event leave it a close sec- ond when normal conditions return. The most acute problem at the mo- ment is that of lahor. Wages in com- mon with other values huve risen to | inheard of levels, owing to the war; | and if commodities decline it accustomed prosperity mnless some workable form cf adjustment is developed. Labor very naturally re fuses to consider any reduction of while the cost of living re- s so high. The result is a threat- ened deadlock between capital labor, complicated by general and an epidemic dreams. The sclution of a tangled problem iequires the most forbeararce on both sides. T'n less the spirit of fair play and mutual consideration prevails there is danger of injuri-us consequences to all con- cerned. Fortunately a ncw spirit 1 developed amo industrial leader who show a disposition to recogniz the position of laker and to take the lead in a policy of conciliation and discussion. One of the first leaders in the country has publicly tuken the po- sition that capital must be ready make sacrifices: another has favored more intimate relations between cap- ital and labor, with the idca of estab- Jishing industrial democracy, and so is cncouraging. The offer of nd better conditions of employment comes wlen most need- ed from emplo whose policics will undoubtedly he widely followed elsewhere. How will labor meet these advances? No adjustment of wages to a peace Fasis is oxpected until commodities decline; but the high Jevel of the laffer cannot cortinuc, and when the drop will come. Events of the week were not of stimulating character in the financial district. Action of the War Board in surrende: control of the steel in- dustry after December 31 was a dis- appoinment, especielly considering that steel leaders had requested a de lay in order to help stabi market. Moderate steel prices had already been decided upon, with the idea of returning pre-war conditions by a gradual pro- cess. The Board, however, was pos itive in its attitude that it was best for all concerned for industry to go hack to nmormal as soon as possible. Another unscttling factor was Secre- tary McAdoo's letter suggesting that control of the railroads be left to the government for avother five year: This is directly the opposite of the prevailing in other industrial activities of the government. The secretary, however, malkes somc strong arguments in support of his views, and these will have stand the test af discussion. It scems hard- ly wise Lo accept his ideas until the other side has been sufficiently heard from. The return of the roads ?, their owners after the war was a fix promise that should not be reversed without ample reason, nor without the appreval of those most concerned An immediate return of the roads be- fore necessury legislation has been adopted would be disastrous to some of the smaller roads, and an extension of five years of government control has not vet been justified. Let us have thorough discussicn before any change of policy is adopted. The money market is fairly supplied with funds, call loans being abundant, but | time loans scarce. Preparations arc already beginning for the next Liber- ty Loan which will probably be placed on somewhat different lines than pre- ceding isst Now that the stimulus of conilict is over, regular methods of flotaticn will have depended upon, and the term new loan are already being d Some important questions will be forced upon our new secrctary at an early date, but fortunately he is well equipped by both knowledge and perience for dealing with thew. unsettled stock market must be ticipated for the immediate future. What with the problems rererred to above, and what with the acjustment necessary to declining commodity prices, as well as the fading away of war profits, considerable defiation must Lec expecte As an offset a slow fall in prices of would stimulate demand, revival of customar o is no reason whatever for los 2al confidence. Good investmen should not be disturbed; and necessary adjustment we may look ! forward to more healthy conditions.
