GERMAN Y’S METHODS

lt is now pretty generally admitted, although ofii-

cially dcnied, that the Cuban rebellion was another of (ierinany’s inspirations. . It is equally certain that Gerinaiiy cngiiicercd the trouble iii Mexico. The troiible in (julia synchronized with the severance of diplomatic relations betweeiit United States and Ger- inaiiy. The trouble in Mexico became acute when if was necessary to keep the United States so busy with things at home that she had no time to look after such little things as the niurdcr of her subjects onfthe high seas. Like many other samples of German tlevilmeni: thc affairs in both Cuba and Mexico were designed for a German purpose and the purpose is clear. United States intervention either in Mexico or Cuba, or bet-, tcr still in both, would seriously hamper operations against Germany should war ensue. -

In a recent issue of The Guardian wc published

some sections of the constitution issued by 'Car- ranza after he' had defied th¢u`Uiiitcd States and the latter had withdrawn her troops from the border with- out having accomplished anything but the expenditure of some two hundred million dollars. It is worth no- ting some of these. The constitution provides:

vhat will Germaiiy’s next move be? ~ ,

ADJUSTMENT 0F LABOUR’

The adjustment and distribution of labour is one

if the trains were manned, the labor would be drawn from other industries, which are also essential to thc public life and welfare. The scarcity of labor on the land is not wholly due to recruiting iii the country dis- tricts, but in part to the attraction of labor- to fill the places of men recruited in the towns or drawn by high wages to munitions making, The railways need above all mechanics, to repair their locomotives and to secure them, they must bid over the munitions makers. That wciuld diminish the munitions supply and tend to pro- long the war.

The coal mines have been stripped of men who res-

ponded to the call of the higher \vages paid elsewhere, and everywhere, except where the highest wages is paid, there is scarcity. The remedy will be difficult to find for some time. Munitions are an absolute neces- sity and, being so, must call more loudly and with greater inducements than others. ` ~

The National Service campaign now on will make

adjustments, probably by the eiriployiiient of more women to take the place of men who can thus be spared for work unsuited for women. The adjustment however may be expected to be slow and in the mean- time the only remedy appears to be to employ women

work, thus allowing the present male employees to do excliisivcly men’s' work.

The temper which he represents is one of the factors upon which German militarism has rec- koned in shaping its course, precisely as it reckoned
