Schwab Discovers In France an Kcouomlc Truth In America. There Is nothing new for renders of Tnr. Sun lu the discovery of CiiAiit-r- s M. Schwad, the cre.it steel mini now In I'rimce, tlmt In tho devastated regions of that country thero will ho little or no reconstruc- tion work for America. Somo seven weeks ago this lfewftktper, in this very column, made that fact clear, with the simple explanation that tho Kreat bulk of the structures In Franco and In Ueldum was of Ktiino and brick. The rebuild- ing will bo of stone and brick, done with Trench material and by French hands. Fur tho.se who knew anything nbont France there never was any question about this. For thoM who knew anything about the .ted situa- tion In the United State the hallu- cination that oeenlvu prices could be held up here by pouring our steel Into F.uropo for tho peace work of reconstruction as our steel had been poured into Kuropo for the war work of destruction was as wild an eco- nomic dream as ever was dreamed. The ho of American Industry does not lie In n huge demand by devas- tated France and destitute liormany nnd chaotic Kussla for our steel, out copper, our fuel ami other basic ma- teria' for manufacture. There is no such Inure domaud ; there will bo none for a long time. iur Industrial prom-Js- o lies and will lie at home. Here In the United States there If n wldo nnd there will be a continu- ous market for those articles at ihe right price. While this country has been nt war, and while before wo our- selves were at war, this country was supplying. Unroot- - with war material, our normal Industry and our normal business were starved of their nor- mal supplies. Our normal Industry and our normal huxlness are ready now togo ahead again full speed when normal supplies can be bad nt (something like normal prices. They will not go ahead on any basis of ab- normal war prices. The building that would like to begin in this country, the manufac- ture that would like to begin In this country, the merchandising that would llko to begin in this country, are nil waiting for prices and general onomlc conditions that will permit them to do normal business the only kind of business that enn bo done In worth while and continuous vol- ume, now that the war Is over. The woiut thing that can happen to Aujerican capital, the worst thing that can linppen to American labor, the worst thing that can hapiKJu to American institutions is for this waiting for normal mnrkets to go on and on while the nation's Industrial power nnd vigor ooze nway. (.let down to normal markets and we can resume business. Itesuino business and we can thrive nnd pros- per, though we never do n penny of reconstruction work In Europe, Asia or Africa. Vtij chofoslcally Selected Having connuorcd the army, tho psychologist now storms tho uulver slty. Already Coluniblu him capitu lated, surrendering; tho cbllego en- trance examinations to tho experts of tests and reactions.

A perfect university, psychologically 'ndnilni-terei- i, would provide a place for nil. The youth who was unlit for 'nn arts desreo would be turned nsldo to nnoiher school. Ono section would he for tho.- - applicants whoso mental-'ll- y was suited for law, another for promilni; candidates for thn church, another to promote tho welfare of ktho-- nature detuned to surpass In cookliiK, another for those whose ulft was for tailoring. No caiidblnto would 'le refused. Koch would be told where to po, whnt to do and how lonj; to stny ut It.

If In- struction lu this art bo given, the uni- versity campus would bo nlways crowded. Unforlunntely, iwychologlsts lenvo no room for eelMetormlnntlon. Will not this grave principle of world poll tlcn become entangled lu tho ticademlc reform? For Murh Cheaper Food. Army olllcors In tho Quartermas- ter's Depurtment nt Washington nro awklng Congress appropriations based upon their belief that food prices will not bo lower but higher. Well, If they are, or If they nro anything llko as high, there will bo nobody to blamo for it but the Washington Adminis- tration. All that is needed now to send the cost of living down Is to let tho natural laws work. It Is only the (iovernment's keep- ing war time food prices Jacked up that can prevent tho whole cost of living going down and going far down. The country's wheat crop this year may amount to ,100,000,000 bushels, or It may amount to one. two, or even three hundred million bushels more than that. Hut whether the crop Is 1,300,000750 or 3 ,100.000,000 bushels, with the Government paying the farmers the contract price of $2.-- 0 a bushel there will be more wheat In this land by hundreds of millions of bushels than the American people can consume and than tho Government can cell abroad. If, In spite of such an overabundance, the Government compels tho American consumers to buy their bread on the basis of $2.-- 0 wheat, the Government can keep other food prices up; the Government can crente famine prices In food ; the Gov- ernment can cause severe want among the American people. nut if the Government lets the price of wlieat go down to American con- sumers by putting the who it on the oreu market, subject to tho law- - of supply and demand, tlu price of till other grains anJ foods iuut go down with the price of whost. If corn goc down, for example, beef and mutton mutt gnadowii: milk and butler and cheese go down; poultry and circs go down. As thoM; basic foods go down everything else goes down. If the Unite l States Government, although paying the farmer 52.2,1 a bu-h- el. smashes the price of whe.it to tho consumer, tis tho Unltol States Government should do. the Congress appropriating nutliorl nee I not con- sider 10 er cent, higher food for the army. It may be confident that the army rations with all other foods to a dead certainty will be lower, very much lower than they nro now or than they have been in many a day. Tlie German Elections. A victory for the Majority Social- ists, the party of which Lnr.nr nnd ScuniPEMANN are leaders and which lias been practically In control of the Government at Iterlln since the armis- tice, and the overwhelming defeat of the Independent Socialists, the party of the Spartacus group under the for- mer leadership of Kaki. Likhkntxiit and Hos.v LvxF.MiiritG, are the most Important resultf, so far as the out- side world Is concerned, of the elec- tions Just held In Germany. The pur- pose of tho elections was to choose delegates to n national assembly, which will reorganize tho Gorman Government, adopt a constitution for tho now German tstate, and eventually accept terms of peace with tho Al- lied nations. Tho defeat of tho Independent So- cialists was forecast in tho failure of the Spartacus group to gain support mid In tho death of Its leaders. They had fought to establish their own rule and had opposed the holding of the elections. The principal opponents of heenu of I' UoZ Keoia parties.\ Of tliese, the Gorman Democrats, who correspond to the members of tho former Liberal party In the empire, nnd the Christian party, the former Clerical party, showed the greatest strength. Tho results of the elections so far received lndicato that a coalition of these parties will form 11 majority In the assembly, and that they will thus he nblo to hold the Majority Socialists in check. Hut thero Is In reality nothing no far to show what will be tho eventual po litical alignment. Tho preent Christian party Is ft union of the Catholic party, formerly the Clericals, with the Protestants, who have not before appeared ns n political unit. Tho Christian party, It has been asserted, would work with the Majority Soclull if that should bo tho case tho comulnatlon would mako n safe working majority In tho assembly. The Christian party nuiy be expected to stand for the restora- tion of order and for n stable, government; nt tho snmo tlmo It Is not likely that the Clericals have abandoned nil their former conten- tions regarding the conduct of schools, the control of religious property nnd certain matters of civic government. Tho 1'eoplo's party, which Is mado up largely of the Junker element, and which Is supposed to represent tho royalists, has not shown sulllclent Mrength to mnko It nn Important fac- tor In the result. Tho elections were held with com- paratively small evidences of disor- der except In centres where tho Spar-tncu- s group still Bhow some (strength. In view of tho ct that noting upon a largo nntlonnl Imuo wns a now ex- perience to tho groat body of tho electorate, It Is xald'tluit tho elections passed with llttlo confusion nnd with n high appreciation of tho new re sponslblllty which hnd been placed upon tho people.

Ul 1 I 11 HUH im. i. as .freely its tho men, and many per sous who under the former rfgl mo had been denied frnnchlse, were restored to their political rights. In this way tho elections became a very complete expression of tho wishes of tho Gor man people. Tho rather meagro details now nt hand Indicate that In many respects the voters adhered to their former po- - lltlcal nilltlatlons ; this Is shown espe- cially In districts or cities where for- mer Olorlcul or Liberal majorities prevailed. Tho Important Industrial centres of the Uhlne valley, of Si- lesia and Hnxony do not show, ns It wns said they would show, nny groat gains for tho Spartacus group or tho Independent Socialists. In fact, tho elections Indicate that In tho face of n serious crlls brought about by their military defeat and national humilia- tion the Germans nciuIttod them- selves creditably and displayed a san- ity that gives promise of tho estab- lishment of a stablo government. Protecting Women In Industry. As ii result of the unexampled ex- tension of women's activities in In- dustry caused by the necessities of the war, the protectlvo statutes en- acted by tlie Legislature In tho past must now bo thoroughly overhauled and amended to make them meet ex- isting conditions. In hit) annual message Governor Smith recommended Immediate con- sideration of tho problems involved, nnd the Women's Joint Legislative Conference, representing the New York Women's Trade Union League, the New York State Consumers League, the Consumers' League of the City of New York, the Young Wo- men's Christian Association and tho Woman Suffrage party of New York, has adopted a programme of legisla- tion which ji ovldes for an eight hour day, a minimum wago, health Insur- ance, and protection for ofllce work- - of traction companies , employees ers, 'p ,.s AlaimeH bcttven these States operators. ii3 interest In this Idea, so familiar The details of the measures by now, yet by no.i muro tersely It Is proposed to safeguard cniied, reveals a side of Mr. Hiiekha.n women In industrv have not yet been unfamiliar to thoae who know him Hrat '. they ground, for diversity of opinion. Tho matter of a minimum wage is one concerning which then are many hmi-e-- t differences. Health Insurance, pre- - sonts. numerous obscure problems. Hut nut onlv the desirability but tin iui- - ,' Iterative necessity of shielding women , from dangerous or uuhealthful condl lions and guarding them from ex- ploitation Is obvious. The duty Is a double one.; the State owes It to tho women of nnd It owes It to the citizens of the future. It is not mere sentlmunt which dic- tates special consideration for women workers, though such sentiment Is based on true) wisdom and roasou nnd cannot be Ignored. Tbebroadust states manship requires the State to row nlze and provide for the maintenance and health of the prospective mothers of Its future citizen-:- .

In conseiiieucu of the theory was widely held that protection not needed tor them, apparently In the belief that wlmt to them In tho period of their Industrial employment was of no con- sequence.

Whether they do not, however, they nre en- titled every mlnuto they aro nt work to evry protection tho State can pro- vide for them. In such mutters tho obligation of Now York i plain.

I beg that I may be permitted to put my own interpreta- tion won It and that It may be under- stood that no other interpretation was in my thought. 1 am reeking only to faco realities and to without aoft concealments. Victory would mean peace forced upon the loser, a victor's terms Imposed upon the vanquished. It would bo accepted In humiliation, under durem, at an Intolerable sacrifice, and would leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter memory upon which terme of peace would rcit, not permanently, but only as upon qulcltaaird.\ Wo recall this remarkable utterance merely to illustrate ease with widen events dispose of words.

HEAT, THE NEW SCIENCE. It Cam Suddenly to Mr. Grover and Ho Applies It to the Weather. To th Kditoii or Tim Sun Sir: Some readers mtaundantood tho weather arti- cle pubtUhcd lu Tim Sun November 20. Some thought It predicted a fierce winter, although It wild nothing about tho win- ter, but only referred to the waather duo December 1, It was not a forecast, but a weather problem, expecting aomo readers to flame out how cold it would be December 1. It seeme that some of tho roadera expected weather far below icrn, al-- l though the problem stated: \When thoro are no plauetpi ahead of tho earth in winter tho onrth can bo freuly forced out from tho sun by tho planet Mercury without tliu earth encountering the rcatatauco of planets; therofora the tempcruturo goee fur below aero lu tlila latitude.\ But In this caao tho three largest planets were ahead of the earth In the race, so that the advancing earth would h.ivo to ralao thoae planets, thua causing fric- tion or warmth, and It was thought that eume mathematical readers might be intereatcd In figuring out how much friction or wannth they would produce or how much they would counteract Mercury's flrat periodical lold wave, duo December 1. I think tho minimum was 28 decree In New York and 20 degrees In lloston, hut If there had bean no planets ahead of the earth It would bavo been about 10 degrees below zero In Massachusetts, as It waa January 1, 1004, when Mer- cury bad free chance to forcu tho (arth out from th sun and cuuao cold waves nverywhere. At that time thn earth did not encounter (he repelling force of outej- - planets to prevent tho earth's outward movement from the sun. On December 1 Ual there was noth- ing to cause winter tcmp'araturo hut Mercury, therefore if Mercury bad not been there It would liavo been much warmer, and Instead of having frceilug weather In many placm about December 1 there would have beun no freezing weather In this latitude. Mercury's cold wave comes about four times a year, but In summer It causes cool npells and rains. The naxt time the little planet goes by will be In tho spring, and It will pay to figure out Juat what it will do. I am not Interested In weather science, but In a new aclence, heat an entirely new science which came to mo In less time than It takes to tell It one morning In May, 1S86; and finding nobody Inter- ested In such subjects I tho waather to explain some of Its principles, aa most people are Interested in the weathur.

Why could they not put ban on the high spirituous liquors for a certain length of time, as was done for the term of the war, but nIow tho manufacture of beer and light wlncsT I would llko to ask what objection there Is to light wines. The President spoko in favor of them early last year, but later allowed hlinsolf to bo led off tho track by these prohibition hypocrites. Why should all be deprived because a few abuse n, thing! Light wines aro a necessity and a tonic for many Invalids and feohla poople. This law will deprive most people of their benefit oven In nick-ncs- f, because the price will be prohibi- tive Itself. It drink Is a curu, It Is a curse that haa given work to millions of men ; tt prohibition la n blessing, It la blessing that will cause no end of hardship and suffering among those that It casts out of work : so my humble opinion Is that of (ho two prohibition Is tho worst curse.

The War Department announced to- day that three famous National Guard divisions -- the Twenty-sevent- h (New York), Thirtieth (Wild Cat) and the Thirty-sevent- h (Buckeye) had been or- dered to prepare for embarkation. There waa no Information us to when tho divi- sions start from French ports, but heretofore It ha required several weeks for units embark after being assigned to early convoy. Dlvlslona having a distinguished fight- ing record and others having a distinc- tive local Identity in the United States will be kept together after their return from France until they can be paraded at homo and receive tho welcome that the people are anxious to bestow upon them. No definite) plans as to the three divi- sions now dtxlgnated for early return have been made here, but It la assumed at tho War Depurtment that the various units of each division will bo wnt home together w that will be no hard- ship upon tho men who arrive tlrtit to keep them organized the entlr division can be paraded.
