Tie of Tha, LarW f Liberty Putting English Girls Back in Thoir Old Places. They are having strenuous times in England .demobilising their 1,000,000 or ho female munitions workers, and all because the girls who have been working for from $18 to $20 a wk in ihn fiwtni-toa lit ntA InlfO U'.mDv in the auririt!on that ihev rr.iirn to 1 1,10 Pul)llc their old positions us domestic Rcr v.nntB at $:J or $:t,50 per week. They do not like the prospect evon though their government reminds them that times are trying, find urp"M them to chow tho same noble spirit of kjuti f!co now that they 'lid in war lime. It is very true that wh'.-rcver tho problem of demobilization loomc l:.rre tho labor situation is extremely diffi cult, and every one will hnvo to du bis hnre of sacrificing. Hut for nny gov ernment or private individual to uiyu thnt nny girl work as a, dementi,' nor vmit at a wage of $.'1 to $:i.50 n week Is nil wrong. This Is not n living wago In England or In any other civi lized country, even if tho nmida do "get their Itoiird and. rooms, too " 'I he value represented by that same r".oin and Iward in tho average household does not equal by n good deal what the girl would earn In over tirro in any factory if she were on duty as rnny hours ns she in when en'ployed In tho household, and any girl wn.ld prefer any day a job with hour. ni-r vrges permitting her to live mid play fuming her own kind. Conditions bring just what they aro, undoubtedly it is desirable for women everywhere to turn us far ns is pos sihlo to those kinds of employment which will interfere the least with the employment of men. Housework Ije lotigs in this elnss, and offers a large field. Nevertheless, it Is shameful to ask the girl to take any job at starva tion wngs. She will not do it; or if forced into it by w:wit sho will become a dissatisfied, ugly, menacing mem ber of society, bitter with a sense of wrong. This is not the way to solve the problem. Tho way to serve it is by mining domestic service and other characteristically feminine occupations to it point where because of the fair ness of the wages and hour they at fain a dignity commensurate with the factory job. Until this is done England and America both will Miffer from a sur plus of empty kitchens nd a surplus of idle girls, and of men idle because the girls would not give up good jobs for bad. tion '01 be completed before the amendment i effective. 0ctual)y, then, the liiOi' traffic hi only a lit tle morogthan four me'.h lease of life.

Thora .win. to huve het-n t-onaider- al'k miunikTMlnnlinK as to the na ture of the "i.p'ji diplomat" expected at Versailles by all Americans. JVime of the ncjv.spaper eorrcrtpntidents have lc n pained to discover that they will not be admitted freely to the daily sessions and allowed to report the de liberations in full. It develops that nothing of tho sort was ever contem plated by any of the statesmen con cerned, and that indeed a policy of un- rcHtiiitcd publicity would be danger ous and possibly disastrous. It is BomethliiK like the executive sessions of the United States senate or house of representatives, as com pared, with the usual open sessions. The press is not admitted, but the re sults of the proceedings, when in prop er shape, arc Riven to the press. There is to lie a diplomatic communique ev ery day, liko tho army commun;que that kuvc the official news while the fidhtinif was in progress. This method, restricted as it is, rep resents a f?nin over precious peace conferences. Tho public will bo taken into the diplomats' confidence more than ever before. News will be held up only as long as its publication would Herve to make trouble and in terfere with the success of delicate mensures. There may not be so much publicity from day to day na the newspapers and the public would like. But assur ance is given that thero will be no pos sibility of betrayal, because nothing final will be dono without Informing III . o . . A .

And this, experts sny, is the real meaning cf tho phrase, "no secret di plomacy." The diplomacy of the big conference will be "open" because it will all bo placed on public record and submitted to public approval before the nations concerned nre finally com mitted to it. European Immigrants May Still Be Needed. In 1!M our country absorbed 1,200, 1)00 immigrants. For ten years previous to Hill wo absorbed over a million a year. Tho returning nrmies nre not going to disturb labor condition ns much as many imagine. Wars make individuals restless, dis contented and hnico there h an enor mous labor turnover. There is no normal labor supply Kssible in times of normal prosperity without n largo foreign immigration. The first generation bom of immi grant parents under the transforming power of the Melting l'ot aro unwill ing to do hard work ns common la borers. Our country will always need sonie immigrants from crowded countries to supply the demand for labor on the farms, in the mines, and in conduct ing all tho raw material industries. There is no tpiestion about that. The only piestion is how many do wo need and of what character? For certain sections the industries prefer northern Knropeans, others de i.mml Mexicans, others Italians and i.oothcrnKuropeans, and other sec tions prefer Orientals.
