SATURBAY, JANUARY 3, 1920 Wemen In Industry Ne General comment and not a little complaint is being made because the women who undertook to discharge the work of the industrial plants of the country when the war made it iupossible for men to perform their mormal peace time tasks are inclined to hold orto their jobs now that the army has been so mearly demobilized as to make the man labor supply practically normal. 'It is considered wapatrietic in women to insist upon earning the men are ready to return to their machines and desks. money when There is everything to justify the women who wish to continue in their work outside the home rather than to | go back to the dreary round of dish washing, ceoking, scrubbing, sewing and all the many tasks that have to be done by the woman who must earn her living through what she can save in the administration of her house- hold affairs. The greatest factor in the high cost of living situation to- day is the low productien of the factories with the resultant lack of sufficient supply to meet the heavy demand of consumers. The scarcity of labor competent to do well the work that is to be done, and the great need for adding to the income of the family of moderate afford ample extenuation, if she needs ex: tenunation, to the woman whe declines to spend in home making tasks time that can be sold for much more than she can save in her kitchen and sew- .ing reom. means, There is no more patriotic service that can be remdered to the country today than utmost effort to bring the supply and the demand fer the materials that are essential to preper living more closely together. It ss a service that many men have refused to render. If the women stick at sheir jobs during the period of re- erganizatien of our industries. they are helpiag in a very substantial way to make that period short. one's Dutch And Danish Industry Kittle a history is more interesting or inspiring than the wonderful story of the perseverance, the thrift and the industry of the little nation of Hol- land. predominant a characteristic of the Dutch as it was centuries ago, when thelr land was the world's mart, is in- dicated by a booklet prepared by the Guaranty Trust company of New York to show in what condition the war has left the small Furopean meutrals. The Bank of the Netherlands holds four times the quantity of gold today that it did in the year 1914; new in- dustries have come into being; and shat of the manufacture of foods and clothing has censiderably grown. léttle behind the Dutch are Panes, famed in the world for the enormous quantities of eggs and dairy products which the tiny mation annually exports. Den- mark, like Holland, is said to have grown stronger during the war, and some realization of its prosperity may be fad from the fact that the invest- ments of the state exceed the gross evidence of prosperity and strength- pational debt by $100,000,000. Sweden, Norway amd Switzerland, the That the old spirit is still as| agricultural} according te the booklet, give equal ened position, despite their suffer- ings during the world cenflict; and even Spain is remembering her proud heritage, bestiring herself, and pre- paring for an awakened life. In reflecting on the happy condi- tion of these neutral natioms, how- ever, one is not able altogether to refrain from contrasting their state with that of shattered and ruined Belgium, nor from thinking that the prosperity which now is theirs was secured at a price which the spirited | refused to pay, | | refuse through the exigencies of con- | ditioms which im-| | possible. i 'he United States is not alone in| | girding her loins to enter the market | for world trade; and it may be well| to the strength of the] small, but thrifty, nations, as well as; Belgians could not made any choice remember . 4 | the needs and the right of the | | desolated smaller peoples to coti- | | sideration in the industrial and] economic reconstruction that is the business of the world for the im- mediate future. The Government Acts The essential factor of commercial life used to be expressed ian the maxim, "Competition is the life of trade."

Concentration of equipment for the | [mnutaciore of articles that bear a! | close relationship one to another is conducive to a decreased cost of pro- duction. This ought to lower the cost to the consumer, but the oppor- ! tunity that is offered at the same time to the producer to control price and the invariable acceptance of it to keep costs to the public up, rather than to lower them, makes it neces- sary to bring inte every business, and to keep it there, the element of com- petition with others who are willing | to keep prices as low as is compatible | with a reasonable profit on the in-| vestment.
