THE EDITOR'S VOICE Ephrata, the first boro in the county to adopt the Bor- | ough-Manager form of Government, is after one year. to make definite municipal strides. ment will in all likelihood boros something to think about. Looking For Soft Jobs Too many young men go to college to fit themselves for very well pleased give some of the other larger so-called white-collar jobs while their natural ability equips them for some sort of skiiled hand labor. men could use a college education, but upon finishing school they ought to start with a job at the bottom instead of look- ing for a “position” at the top. loo Many Hogs The farmers who raise the nation’s pork are in a difli- cult position. The current crop of pigs is estimated by the Departn.ent of Commerce at more than 84,300,000 head— 13,200,000 above the preceding year. The heavy production is largely due to successive years of abnormally large corn crops—and corn must find its way to market as live pigs. On top of that, pork prices have been steadily going down, and during December were over $2.00 per CWT less ¥ than the five-year average from 1909 to 1914. Last but not least, the war has reduced foreign demand for pork to extremely low levels. The Not-So-Harmless Match Take a match from your looks harmless, and it and examine it. It But identical counterparts of that match you are holding in your hand have caused the destruction billions of dollars worth of property, and tens of thousands of human lives. They have deprived men Jobs and families of income. They have ruined whole communities. So it is with all fire pocket when 1S, properly employed. of of hazards—gasoline, heating plants, mechanical devices of one kind or another, and so on. Not one of them, handled with knowledge and respect, is dan- gerous. But all of them, mishandled, can bring disaster and death. It’s easy enough to say, “I'm careful—fires are started by the careless other fellow.” But time. And a woefully small percentage of us give fire, fire prevention and fire control the attention and thought they so richly deserve. Comparatively few of us periodically study the causes of fire and how they may be obviated. There’s no better time for doing that than right now. Remember that fire prevention vour house and your office. preventable fire is so rare be almost non-existent. Above all, remember that the human element is responsible for most fires—and that means YOU, Treaty With Japan Concluded there's always a first begins at home, in Remember that the really un- as to always It has long been forecast that the Land of the Rising Sun was heading for more trouble. And serious trouble came home to roost in Japan on January 26th, when, at the instance of the United States government, the American- Japanese commercial treaty was concluded. As required by the terms of the treaty, we gave Nippon notice of this six months ago, and in the intrim Japanese statesmen almost desperately sought to patch malters up. But Washington was adamant. The difficulty ol Japan's position is plain. The Japanese are a proud and aggressive people, and they have been taught by their leaders (particularly the army responsible only to the Emperor, not ment, and is almost all-powerful) that they are to achieve a great destiny. No people is more imperialist-minded. And to build an empire requires vast quantities of a long list of commodities, to say nothing of manpower. Japan has the manpower — her birth rate is the highest in the civilized world. But she is poor in resources. ple by low Asiatic standards is an exceedingly difficult prob- lem—visitors to Nippon are always impressed by the fact that hardly a foot of land is wasted. and that the highest ingenuity and efficiency have been given to produce much from little. It is to this country that Japan has looked for the bulk of those essential commodities she cannot produce herself cotton, scrap meial, machinery, oil, wood pulp, pig iron, te. And, on top of that, this country has been the prin- cipal purchaser of Japan's exports, of which raw silk is by far the most important, followed by cotton cloth, tea, finish- ed silk, porcelain, and crab meat. About a third of Japan's imports come from this country, and almost a third of her exports normally are bought by us. Denunciation of the treaty does not mean that Japanese- American trade will necessarily be changed io any extent. It does mean that, without notice, this government can levy excessive taxes or tariffs against Japanese goods, can em- bargo part of our Japan bound exports, and can do anything se it considers wise or necessary.
