It set out with the determination to meet oblization and the success which las been obtained simply shows what excellent cooperation been given, At the start Norwich w asked to give $60000. That was quota for the raising of the $170.500,000 tiiroughout the country. When the 50 rer cent. addition was called for it was bhoosted to $30.000.

Much has been said for the past four vears, to say nothing of what went before, regarding the importance of bringing North and South America much cleser together along trade Imes. AMhough they are continents on which large deveiopments are un- devway, there does not appear to have been the proper efforts put forth which weuld result In greater good to each other. The war made it necessary for Seuth America to look to this ecoun- try for mueh of the materia: which it hkad formerly been getting from Bu- repe. Tn this way a greater recog- nition has sprung up of the wisdom of establisting better facilitles for trade between South American coun- tries and the United States. This country has always been interested in their welfare but strange to say toe lttls attention has been pald to Retfing together. There has been tao much willingmess to allow affairs ta | matters and they munity. The crime whieh aroused the reople called for the ng of mo more than .one life at th: most.

South Ameriea has even claimed that it was able to get its wants filled in Euro- pean countries better than it could here bhecause those countries anzious te what it wanted and did not ~upen an it what it didn't want. With the ending of the war it is but proper that increased attention should be directed .to the building up of a bisger peace time trade with the coun- tries to the south. FEurepe will be tnxious to reestahlish its markeis there and it is ecertainly time, while banking facilities have been improved apd we .are committed to a much | greater merchant marine, o See that our interests in South America are not neglected. It is a:fertile fleid for foreign trade which needs to be in- tensively cultivated. SQUELCH THE TROUBLEMAKERS. There certainly is just as much need for 100 per cent. Americanpism right tere at home, now and in the days to ecome, as there was during the time when the country was exerting every elfort to produce war supplies and get its armies across the Atlantic to Fu- rape, There were many problems faced while we were plunging into the great world war with all our ability, but it must be perfectly evi- dent. that there are likewise serious problems to be solved during the davs of readjustment. And they must be handled in a manner which will work to the benefit of everyone invelved. There must be a regard for ‘safety and a determination to suppress the dangerous .and this has apparently heen given due consideration by the lebor eonference which has gone on reeord as demouncing bolshevism and all forms ef the 1.

Some of the bemefits of the ending of the fighting are revealed by the announcement that a fleat of vessels is now on its way from Aastralia with wheat for Burope. Should this country begin te listen to the appeals from the German gov- ernment it is quite evident that the state department would not he able to attend to much other busi:. ss. The returning seldiers. and sailors can never say that the people of Nor- wieh and vicimity have ever denied them the comforts which they deserve for the part which they have taken in the war. The government has taken hold of the express business of the country, and up are to go the rates and wages just at a time when the country is looking for a movement in the other direction.

This does not refer to the re- building of Serbia and the devastated parts of Belgium and France. Enor- mous as is this task, it is yet only a question of labqr and material. Civll— ization's greatest problem is the rescue of the world from anarchy. The Hohenzollerns were in danger- ous business when they used bol- shevism. as a tool to cut through their iron ring of enemies. The desperate natuyre of their cause even them is proved by their desperate choice of weapons. All possible care was taken that the fire do its work thoroughly in Russia, but once kindled it was not to be confined at will. Bolshevism was to accomplish in 1918 what Russian sluggishness was to have done in 1914, enable Germany to crush her western enemies and then be free to deal with the east. Whether native Russian monarchy or German-fostered anar- chy, neither was to prove the slightest obstaele to the armies of autocracy. When kultur had overthrown the forces of civilization it could easily force its system on a land where all was chaos. It did not trouble the conscienceless Hohenzollerns, this de- liberate intemtion to kick from be- neath them the ladder by which they would have reached the pinnacle of power. That kultur planned ultimately to destray bolshevism no one can doubt, for bolshevism would put in power those who have nothing, the Hohen- zollerns would keep in power those who had everything. But, as often happens, the fiends who kindled the fire have, themselves perished by forces beyond their control, and it is no longer the Hohenzolierns but eivil- ization that faces the task of .extin- guishing the flames. It is but a wreck of Germany’s former self that the kaiser has abandoned. With hope of victory gene? bankruptcy at hand, hunger stalking, the land and disei- pline everywhere relaxed, the forces of disorder have their opportunity even as Lenine and Trotzky found theirs in a starving and hopeless Russia. Ger i many’s twenty-odd kingdoms, duchies and principalities are mostly in the throes of revolution. No peace with the Hohenzollerns"” was our cry until recently, but now with whom shall a peace be made? The allies have beat- en the pirate captain but must appar- ently settie with every member of the pirate crew. As a military power the German states are no longer formid- able, but as a . political and social problem there is need of infinite wis- dom, firmne: and patience. The statesmen about the peace table will have the opportunity to show -the wisdom, two million soldiers will sup- ply the necessary firmness and the populations of the victorious countries have the patience to see the great tagk to its completion. If like a ravenaus pack of wolves the would fall to and consume it 1 perhaps be the out of the difficulty, but Germany must first be fed. experience teaches that such a e of disorder as exists there ta- cannot be confined by political ndaries.

The congress proper will probably not meet bhefore nuary and the president is pi to be home again before Hence it is not as a member of the conference that he would appear but merely as a participant in a more or less informal discussion at which the views of the administration would be clearly set forth.

While the wi dom of the president's journey _is questioned i some quarters, there is no doubt that Mr. Wilsen is the man to whom the allies pay the greatest deference at t juncture, and reasen of America’s disinterest in the material settlement of European question, propesals from him will be well received. The presence of social unrest is felt not alone in Germany and Russia. The sudden end of the great war is fraught with problems for the land of the vie- tor ro less than for that of the van- quished. As always happens in time of war, wages have been far higher than can be maintained in time of peace. Just as a man will give his all for the loaf that will keep him from starving, so a government must pay any price to preserve its exist- ence. The laber policy of the United States, though in the main successful in getting the essential work done, has not been suceessful in discovering a foundation on which labor troubles may be settled. The readiness of the government to pay anything for war's essentials set the manufacturers to bidding against each other in the lab l‘ market. Only late in the war was t S. employment service nrga.mzed to cbeck this demorallzing practice. Now with the price of labor higher than can possibly be paid in time of peace, reductions have already begun and strikes will soon be the order of the day unless means are found to settle the troublesome question. The present administration in pass- ing the Adamson railway law went on record as willing to favor organized labor in ail disputes, even to thd ex- tent of forcing the employer to pay Jabor's demands regardless of what the business would produce. Mr. Gompers in an address at Laredo, Tex., only last Saturday declared that labor must in time of peace hold on to afl the advantages in wages and hours that had been secured under stress of war. Political parties are notoriously chary of antagonizing or- ganized labor and it is hard to eee whence a solution will come. If labor gains its own 4vay, the Russian result will follow and all business will cease ‘when unabel to pay the prices that the laborers vote for themselves. The U. S. employment service’s restrictions against jumping the job, endured un- der stress of war, will not be favored by organized labor in time of peace and there will be constant pressure on tha i tion to kave aax- ivilization faces . “ still insist I have eyes,” contin- uyed the Hyde Park man vehement!
