Now that hostilities have ceased we mtiHt assume the add ed burden of keeping starvation from Increasing its toll upon the millions who have been liberated from the Prussian yoke. Famine would undo the work which lias heen accomplished in freeing the world for democracy. No stable government can be established and maintalnctl by a nation harassed by hunger. A starving people turns to rioting and anarchy. Food has given strength and courage to the na tions fighting for democracy ; It must now give the Da'ions strength and tranquillity to n MtlMlatl themselves In freedom and deiiKicnicy. Without our help It would have been -hsolutely Impossible for the Allies to maintain a living ration. Since our entry Into the war we linve hern con- trlbullng largely to the support of one j hundred and twenty million people Whose normal food supplies have heen I cut off, whose production has fallen I almost to Hie vanishing point, whose fields hnve been dewistntnl by Hit many. The food exported from the United States in the past year has been sufficient to supply the complete ration of twenty -two million people. It is hard to grasp the BMgnitOde and slgnlflcsjtcs of the sssl stance which bas been leal the Alliei B) the patriotic, voluntary service of the American people. The food we sent aiiroMii last year would bare I n suf ficient to feed one-fifth of our popnla tion. And tiiis whs done In spite of the fact thai we entend the jrear arltli short crape, Our nrplna iraa practl caiiy nothing. An overwhelming pro portion of the food that left this iinin try Inst year was. saved out of the nor mal home consumption of our own people. In spite of difficulties met In Inter nal transportation and shortage of oeeuii tonnage our food exports int year amounted to a figure that I few years urn wiiiii have been unbelieva ble. Even the must optimistic element of our population faced with anxious consternation the prospect which opened before us with the beginning of the lit 1 T harvest year. The AmeriCM people have nut been compelled to save, They have been appealed to on the basis of humanity and of patriotism. They have re sponded voluntarily, As far as wo can tell, the ponce ninferenco will ho gatting lined up about t'liilstinas. You and 1 might have been horn In any epoch. We might have bMfl living In A.

And Christmas giving this year must be more than a perfunctory exercise, even though we combine discretion with liberality. Store-clerks in Hums have as good a right as any to share in the rejoic ings, and It Is worse than churlish to spoil the season for any of them by making it unduly laborious. Let us get our shopping done at once, so that they may bo free to celebrate. AMATKl HS Itl'N WIUI. Plumbers are useful; but you i don't take a sick tooth to a plumber.

Organized labor has proposed to form an Independent political party. The principle of labor unionism Is excellent, but the advantage to any ration of n separate lnbor party Is dubious. Its presence Involves i lass-leglslatlon If bankers and stockbrokers or ganized a separate political party to get special privileges for financi ers the effect would bi mischievous. It would mean an attempt tn get legal privileges for a favored class. Organised labor Is a favored class. Its members get far higher wages than book-keepers, stenographers, store-clerks, sewer-dlggers, farm laborers, and many other grades of employed help. Labor unions aro no novelty. They had them In Solomon's time. When Hiram, king of Tyre, sent mechanics to help Solomon build his temple they organized in lodges and federations. And before Shak spere's time In Kngiand the different crafts were classified according to guilds. A labor parly In politics Is a more modern conception, but they have had one In Kngiand for fifteen years, and during the war it has done a good deal toward holding up muni tion supplies and lengthening the struggle.

In many cases mighty plants have sprung up but at a prodigious cost. The packing industry was able to adapt itself to unheard of demands more quickly, perhaps, than any other industry. And this was because the vast equipment of packing plants, refrigerator cars, branch houses, etc., had been gradually developed to its present state of efficiency, so that in the crucial hour it became a mighty international system for war service. And how had this development taken place? Not by making vast inroads into the capi tal wealth of the country, but largely by using, from year to year, a portion of the profits, to provide for expansion. Swift ft Company's profits have always been so tiny, compared with sales, that thev have had practic ally no effect on the price of meat (amounting to only a fraction of a cent per pound). And yet the owners qf the business have been content with nuson.iblc returns on their capital, and have been able, year after year, to put part of the profits back into the business to provide for its expansion. Thene. fractions cf tiny profits have been repaid to to the public many fold in the; form of better service, nnd better and cheaper merit, and QUldg it i for Swift & Company to meet, undaunted, the sudden cry for meat for overseas. Could any other method of financing a vital industry involve leeg hardship to the people of the country? Could there be a better instar.co of true "profit-sharing" than this return in added usefulness and in national prepurcdnesa ? Swift & Company, U. & A.
