MORROW ( Ot'STI OFFICIAL PAPER
Let's Begin Again
All observers agree that the only
thing worse than war is the getting
over it, and yet how poorly have we
prepared for this day of trial:
While the war lasted the whole
power of the people and all their or
ganized energy were directed to a
single object the winning of the
war and we had definite programs
of procedure. The Army and the
Navy had each a program. The re
lief work twent according to definite
plans. We had a definite program
of food production and another of
conservation. We lived for a com
mon purpose, and we worked accord
ing to a definite program aimed at
perfectly definite and desired ends.
Now we are at loggerheads one
with another, and working at cross
purposes after a fashion that would
have lost any war. We are neither
producing with efficiency nor con
suming with sanity. Any business
that should undertake to operate as
we are conducting our affairs, both
public and private, taken as a whole,
would certainly go to smash, and that
right speedily.
Hindsight is always better than
foresight; but had we been wise we
would have held a great public con
ference immediately upon the cessa
tion of hostilities, to take stock of
the situation, to take account of the
state of the nation and to make a pro
gram for reconstruction, just as we
met and made programs to meet the
conditions of a ten years' war, should
the struggle continue that long.
Such a conference would have no
ted at once the disturbed condition
of manufacturing industry, especial
ly concerning such necessities as
housing, clothing and food. It would
have noted that practically no houses
had been built for soma four years i
or more. It would have noted that
thousands of working families were
now living in separate houses that
heretofore had herded in close quar
ters, and that the shortage would at
once become acute when the demob
ilized soldier brought his wife and
babies away from their father's house
and sought again living quarters for
his restored family life. Seeing all
this, it would have laid do'wn as the
first great activity the building of
houses, whereas more has been said
about roads than about homes.
Such a conference would have no
ted that the fibers of the country had
gone into uniforms and war material
and that four million men could ex
change uniforms for civilian cloth
ing more rapidly than the readjust
ment of manufacture could be made,
and it would have directed public
notice to the need for special atten
tion to the clothing industry and to
economy in wearing apparel.
Such a conference would have no
ted that in twar thousands of young
men always leave the farm not to go
back, and it would have called upou
the country for the most carefully
worked out program of food pro
duction. It would have maintained
for a time at least the machinery for
buying and transporting the great es
sentials.
But nothing was done, and instead
of using our labor in the production
of essenlals it went first of all into
such nonessentials as the manufac- j
ture of luxuries of all sorts and ex-
pensive clothing, not because they
were the goods most needed but sole
ly because orders iwere stacked high,
because the public was bent upon a
holiday in celebration of victory, be
cause it would spend money like wa
ter and because an opportunity was
at hand to make profits in the man
ufacture of what the country wanted
most luxuries.
And we have lived in a fool's par
adise for over a year now, spending
most of our public thought in try
ing to placate this group or that
group and keep It at work that we
might make more dollars and spend
more money, while the very founda
tions of a well-ordered economic life
were slowly breaking up.
It is not yet too late. If Instead
of having so many "investigations" to
find where small faults lie; If In
stead of so many "commissions" and
"boards" to hear complaints and ad-
Just differences; if instead of spend
ing our energies In finding fault If
Instead of all this, Congress or the
President, or the people in their civil
capacity, twould call a great national
conference for the purpose of making
and publishing a reconstruction pro
gram, it would do more to stop our
Insane spending, our bickerings over
small matters, our speculations at
the expense of the future It would
do more to put us quickly on a sound
economic basis than will ten years of
this kind of blundering.
The world Is full of men who can
make such a program, and here and
there is an Individual banker or bus
iness man who raises his voice in
protest against present conditions.
What lie days is sound, but it lacks
official and public sanction and bo '
doei not get recognition.
Let's back up and begin over again
Li-t s suppose that the war is Just
.nor and I Iiat f are giing at the jol
of scttir.s our national affairs in or-li.-r,
j'iim as a business man would re
construct li is business after four
wars of disruption. The tiling can.
et he done. We may do infinitely,
worse than to acknowledge that we
:.ue made a bungle so far. and be
ui over asin before we learn to
hate one another worse than we ever
haled the Hun. Country Gentleman.!
Babies and Bacon
l'.abies cannot live by bucon alone.
Statesmen have been so intent on
bringing home the bacon, and fath
ers in getting their share of it, that
both have neglected the babies.
Mothers are reminding them that
they have appropriated $4,000,000
to protect hogs and cattle from dis
ease and not one cent to keep babies
healthy.
Babies must have feed. But as a
nation iwe are not so poverty-strick-
en that when we have provided our
children with something to eat we
must leave them to shift for them
selves. If we do, it is beause we we
are careless and indifferent. Babies
need care. They must have healthy
mothers and intelligent mothering,
since improperly prepared food or
thoughtless exposure frequently costs
a life. A large proportion of the
quarter of a million babies (Who died
in this country in 1918 might have
been saved if their mothers had been
taught how to take care of them and
how to take care of themselves.
The Sheppard-Towner Maternity
Bill, for the purpose of keeping ba
bies healthy, proposes to appropriate
$2,000,000, to be gradually increas
ed until it reaches $4,000,000 an
nually. The money will be used to
provide medical and unrsing care at
home, or, rwhen necessary, in a hos
pital. More important, still, it will
be used to promote public health
nursing, consultation centers, and
other methods found successful in
teaching mothers the hygiene of ma
ternity and infancy, especially in
rural communities.
Motor Truck Line Experiment
There are 600 motor truck lines
between the country and the city in
the United States today, carrying
mostly food products one way and
bringing back necessities from the
town, village and farm.
The motor truck line appears to
be the only relief from railroad con
gestion, anyway the best relief for
perishable goods from the farm to
the city marts.
Not long since the U. S. govern
ment made a most interesting test.
Two identical consignments were
made the same hour, one by truck
from Lancaster, Pa., to a consignee
in New York city and the other by
by railroad from Lancaster to the
same consignee. Each consignment
consisted of 1000 dozen of eggs and
5000 baby chicks.
The motor truck arrived at the
consignee's door in 12 hours. Upon
examination, eight broken eggs were
found and four, of the chicks were
dead.
The railroad consignment arrived
in Jersey City, across the river from
New York in four days. The con
signee was notified and he had to
send his own truuck across the river
to Jersey City to unload and load up
again his consignment. Upon arrival
at his store door in New York city it
was found that hundreds of eggs
were broken and half the chicks
dead. "
We understand that the truck
freight bill iwas the larger but no
doubt it was much smaller when the
broken eggs and dead chicks were
counted,
We hope the railroads will come
out of their slough of despondency,
Going Away?
We've all been sticking pretty
close to home for tliree
