This happened on Stefansson’s last scientific expedition on the great sheet of ice that forms constantly near Alaska and, moving 15 miles a day, travels on up over the North Pole, then southeast 400 miles until it is melted as it strikes the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic ocean. For two years Stefansson and his two followers tasted no vegetables. They had seal meat for breakfast, lunch and dinner—nothing but seal meat, for two whole years. Dieticians predicted that the three explorers would perish unless they had a balanced knew this because they had tried it on a guinea pig! _ diet, vegetables for carbohydrates, mixed with the protein of meat. An exclusive meat diet, they told Stefansson, would kill any man. They said they How would you like to have nothing to eat except seal meat, for 730 days—two years? After living on seals a week, the explorers lost their appetites. Even the thought ‘of a seal made them gag. Several days without food. Then seal meat began to smell good. After that, appe- _ tites returned and thenceforth no one hesitated when the cook whistled. Lord Strathcona, builder of the Canadian Pacific railroad, for years ate only one weal a day. And that meal was always the same. At 96 he was ‘@eing two men's work and helping run the British government in his ‘spare time. He never tired of that unchanging menu. Chinese never tire of rice, ‘ner Scotchmen of oatmeal, nor Norwegians of herring. From Stefansson's experience, learn two important things about food: FIRST: People take on the characteristics of what they eat. Ste fansson says he ate so much seal meat that he probably began to ‘smell like one; polar bears scented him and his companions 10 miles eway. SECOND: A diet of nothing but meat worked all right In the frozen North, due to severely cold weather and the explorers’ Would you call the woman with five children who has started practicing law a “mother-in-law”?

Now, as a creditor nation, Europe would have to send us an excess of goods to balance her account. In order, therefore, to permit foreign countries to buy more from us than they sell to us, we must Joan them money to pay us, for do not Have gold to pay ‘The above 1s quoted from the World's Work of January, 1922, and introduces an explanation (The Ter Meulen Plan) of loan- ing money to Europe, ‘The writer above might have added that before the war we sent to) Europe another half billion dollars’ worth of goods to pay England and Germany for carrying our freight on the se: while we now collect from Eu- rope and the rest of the world some $250,000,000 for carrying their freight away below cost to us. This, $250,000,000 we will have to take in goods, as well as our interest. Let us suppose that we figure out a scheme whereby we do joan Europe the three or four billion dollars that they would like to pay us for goods each year. Are we going to help the matter in the long run? If we continued this policy for a little over 15 years they would owe us 100 billion dollars, That is a ridiculous proposition, we must admit. The debt can't mount much higher; the laws of economics are already setting to work influences that are in creasing our imports and de- creasing our exports, A trade balance will soon be struck It would seem that about the only choice we have is the power to determine what we shall import, and whether we will import enough, so that we can export commodities such as our excess farm products, whose exportation is an absolute neves- sity to the prosperity of our nation. This i just why the tariff is such an important question at this time. If we keep out manufactured goods we can't @xport agricultural products, $1,335 in 1914. It rose to $1,999 in 1919, a gain of a trifle less than 50 per cent. What was Labor's ‘share of the total? In 1919, there were 290,111 man- ufacturing establishments, On their payrolls they had: 9,098,119 wage-carners. 1,447,761 salaried employes. 270,003 propricters and firm members. The total value or selling price of all manufactured products was $62,427,825,000. From this, sab- tract $37,380,124,000, the value of materials used in manufacturing. $11,608,750,000. Out of this came overhead ex- penses, including taaxes, rent, de- Preciation funds and interest on loans. What was Ieft went as profits on investment of $44,776,- 006,000, which enormous figure was the combined capitalization of all manufacturing establishments in 1919, eee Bringing 1919 manufacturing down to small figures, out of every $624 received in sale of products, $374 went for raw and other materials, $105 for wages, $29 for salaries, leaving $116 for taxes, depreciation, rent and all other overhead, also profits, It ts obvious that, in manufac turing, neither wages nor profits were, on the average and exclud- ing exceptions, as great as has been generally believed. It looks big on paper, but the figures were in terms of inflated dollars—dollars of decreased buy- ing power. BetvBen 1914 and 1919, mann- facturing increased its number of wagecarners 29 per cent and the number of salaried employes 50 per cent.
