THREE STEPS TOWARD REFORM
The country is ready for a labor
truce, such as was proposed by rep
resentatives of the public .at the ^
round-table conference in Washing-!
ton, says the Seattle Times.
But such a truse, to be success
ful, must involve more than a mere
cessation of strikes on one side or1
anti-union on the other. It must 1
embody strong declarations for:
Increased production.
Price stabilization.
On the one hand, there must he j
an end to the agitation for a five- j
day week and a six-hour or a five
hour day. We shall get nowhere at
that rate, for production hardly will
equal demand and will not com
mence to make good the deficiencies
due to world under-production. t
On the other hand, there must te ,
a re-establishment of '.'slues for
commodities and standards fo'
wages. Employers and employees
must learn, once again, what con- !
stitutes “a fair day's pay" for "a!
fair dav's work"; all the people!
must ascertain what is a just, rea- i
sonable and defensible price for any !
article in common use.
The labor truce would be the |
first step in the given direction.!
because it would give the law of
supply and demand a chance to won;
toward the re-establishment of val
ues.
But it should be the policy of
the round-table conference, working
with the President and Congress,
with capital and with labor, to speed
up the other reforms mentioned
above, which are of almost equal
importance to the nation at thi
time.
VALUE OF SM!LES.
A good many people, rental ks the
editor of the Juneau Empire, oak
them-eives too seriously. We sm.'.e
too little and grouch too much. W *
may think this makes no difference
to others, but it dots. We start
for our place of business feeling
that the world is a good place in
which to live. We have it in our
heart- to street pleasantly everyone
we meet.
There is no commercial value in
locking uphappy, but the smile has
a high commercial value. You
can’t do business—that is, you can’t
properly do business—with others
when you look and fee! like a small
boy who realizes that he has to
miss the world's series.
The grouchy man and the grouchy
woman hurt business; they hurt
themselves; they hurt everybody.
We soon begin to reflect the som
berness of the grouch, and by the
time we reach the office, the shop
or the store we are likely to care
as little as these children of gloom
for the song of the bird, the kiss
of the breeze or the tremulous light
on the dancing wavelets of the bay.
Don’t grouch 1
BRITISH COMMITTEE
ASSISTING REFUGEES
LONDON. — Five hundred small
towns and villages in the devas
tated regions of France have been
“adopted" by the British Committee
of the French Red Cross society.
The inhabitants of each of these
hamlets are being assisted in their
struggle to re-establish themselves
in their former homes. In many
instances they are living in the
cellars of their ruined houses. Oth
er returned refugees have to be con
tent with living under sheets of
corrugated iron leaning against a
bit of broken wall.

AUSTRALIAN CABINET
CONSIDERING REFORMS
IN DEFENSE SYSTEM
SYDNEY, Australia. — Important
and far-reaching reforms in the
defense system of Australia are ad
vocated in a report now being con
sidered by the federal cabinet. The
report is the work of an advisory
committee of experts, several of
whom held commands at or near the
front during the war. The com
mittee points out that with the
world in its present condition of
unrest there is no real guarantee
against war. and it emphasizes the
vulnerable position of Australia.
It recommends a concentrated
course of citizen training covering
perhaps three months in a year un
der conditions approximating those
of war. It further recommends or
ganization of the commonwealth
military forces on divisional lines
and the formation of machine gun
and other new units sufficient to
constitute six infantry and two cav
alry divisions; establishment of di
visional headquarters and skilled
|skeleton staff; an air service, and
!development of arsenal activities to
ensure a reserve stock of ammun -
ition and to enable Australia to
manufacture munitions.

1 wonder who will sing for me
When songs I cannot hear?
I wonder if the flowers I crave
Will one dav strew' mv bier?
I
;1 wonder what they’ll say of me
i In gentle tones and kind?
I woder if, in my whole life.
Some good deed done, they’ll find?
I wonder if hot tears will fall
Unheeded over me?
11 wonder who'll my faults recall
When I have ceased to be?
11 wonder should I now take pains
! To strike that “long lost chord”’
:I wonder if a flower I'd find
Nor wait for my greensward?
I wonder if each day and hour
I should some kind word say?
i I wonder why I do not help
! Some sad soul on this day?
! I wonder if I then might hear
A sweeter, greater song?
I wonder would I miss so much
Earth-words denied so long?
I wonder if—forgetting self—
With soul attuned, I'd find—
;I w'onder if earth ills are real,
! Or Heaven a State of Mind?
