HOW CAN EVERY MAN BE FULLY OCCUPIED? Se 2 ronto Globe Of 1,042 women applying for work in munitions factories during April] only 352 were placed. Openings | were reported for only 407. Only 154 men applied for work, and nil though there was a reported demand , for 127 only a few over one hundred ; were given employment. Scores of munitions workers have been laid off! with the completion of large orders, | and the view is freely expressed that former activities will not he restor-| ed. Idleness or partial idleness is at ordinary times the most serious item in general wastefulness. The sudden demands of a gigantic war gave value to the fighting qual- ities and capacities of men, and to the industrial capacities of both men | and women. Labor ceased for a time to be a drug fn the market, al though there seemed always a sur- plus. With the lessening of muni- 'tions orders the human surplus is again in evidence, and the need of | utilizing it is made far more urgent by the abnormal cost of the neces- paries of life. What is following close on the Acels of production. ! tHe AWFUL FAILURE | IN THE WAR TIMES Toronto World, Con The soldiers both at home and at the front know what is needed of the' government that has failed to do wat should ve * been done months ago Many errings may be drawn across this trail, buf the trail is one that cannot be overrun. The solders who have faced and are fae- ing the stern realities at the front are too close to the awful business of war to be bothered with the in- anifies of party polftics at this time. The things needful is what taey want---reinforcements Sir Robert Borden says the Americans will send regiments." And the partisans abuse jthe aldermen and the Socialists and the pro-Germans and any other lay- figures that may be available, but they say nothing of what is needed universal service, the selective draft. conscription, the operation of the Militia Act, or whatever the measure may be called. Tais, along with food production and munition- making, is the one. thing needful. When the record is written, the fail- ure in this respect will be the black- est thing upon it.
