Mr. Glas succeeded Mr. McAdoo as secretary of the treasury, as to the need of warning the public against worthless or fraudulent se- curities. He will ask congress for legislation that will check traffic in such securities, but which will at the same time impose no restrictions on legitimate business. The Dye Industry. American enterprise and ability to cooperate are disclosed in a very favorable light in the report by Dr. V. L. King, of the Artificial Dyes and Intermediate section of the war iadus- tries Board, on the dye and interme- diate situation in this country.

The theory is that such a floating population may func- tion as a stabilizer of conditions if it can be properly directed. The United States Hmployment Service of the De- partment of Labor is undertaking con- structive work along this line.

Postmaster General Burleson has to the Chairman of the House Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads in support of trol of the telegraphs and telephones. The present control would, under existing law, cease with the proclamation of peace. The Post- master General supports his recom- mendation with an extended argument | in favor of Govérnment ownership of uch own- ! ership may be required without the expenditure of any money by the Gov- ernment through use of the difference | between what it costs the Government to borrow money and the return up- on the investment under private own ership. This difference, applied to the | maintenance of any payment for the | telegraph and telephone systems would liquididate indebtedness to the in gighteen years and nine according to Mr. Burleson Apropos of the whole proposition a recent canvass of manufacturers and de conditions by the ' Association of ew York shows that a controlling factor in the present situation is the inability of shippers to get proper service from ' call loans having been made at 3 1-2 the railroads, express companies and ' Per cent. and time funds going to the Post Office, all of which are under {5 1-2 per cent. the management of the Government. The Winter Wheat Crop. A winter wheat crop, larger by 000,000 bushels than any prev crop in American agricultural history, is forecast by the Department of Agriculture. During the season 49,- 027,000 acres were planted, an in- crease of 15.9 per cent. over last year. | The condition reported as of Decem- ber 1, is the best eve reported, per cent tates which have ! time and labor | to eli- retar- | as long as the wheat is in this country ind not consumed.
