Probably nothing could advance the just solution of our food and labor problems as rapidly as this war. Vast changes are being wrought ev- ery day.

This is but one instance, We are today discus. sing the idea of making the wealth of the country pay the war out of surplus incomes rather than loading It on the shoulders of the poor. We shall achieve some measure of that. And don’t think that any of these economic changes brought on by the war are going to be lost in times of peace.
