While the police force will be larger, the actual number of men on duty will not be greater even with the additional 61 asked by the chief. Certainly at this time and in the next few winter months when the crime-epidemie reaches its height, it is no time to cut down the size of the actual patrol. It is impossible to eat the cake and keep it, too. Even Hazen Titus hasn't invented anything quite so spectacular as that.

The fail ure to purchase the Cuban crop, the failure to prolong the life of the sugar equalization board so far as any effective control over prices was concerned, the fact that Europe had bought a good part of the Cuban crop—all these “bullied” the sugar market and raised the price for 1920. But the 1921 prospect is the opposite from tndt of 1920. The world's @ogar for 1920-71 ts estimated to be 1,700,000 tons greater than the pro duction of 191920.

By the Ballot Six thousand cotton mill workers at Danville, Va, voted to reduce their wages 25 per cent. This was done after the corporation executives had argued their inability to pay the high war wages at the low selling price of cotton cloth. | The vote was resorted to under the policy of industrial democracy adopted 14 months ago. | It follows without saying that it is bette, under a acheme of In-/ dustrial democracy, for employes to decrease their own wages than, under any scheme of industrial autocracy, for the employers to arbi trarily cut wages, but this is not the moment to insist that this ex- periment proves the aucceas of the policy.
