Today Next Day After Never. 4 Hours Work Per Day. Who Wants It? Competing W ith Japan ^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE j Monsieur Poincare is frank? and does not leave you in suspense about our loans to France. Those loans will be paid when Germany pays to France enough to make good all French losses in war, plus enough to pay what Franee owes to England and the United States. In othei words, France after collecting all its losses, and the amount of its debt to England, will pay us, if it gets from Ger many the money to do it. That makes- clear that the French peasant will never be .taxed to pay what France borrow ed from us. It also makes clear that the French debt will never be paid. So much for that. It will be a useful lesson in future lend ings to save democracy. France announces that it will not submit the question of its rights in the Ruhr, or any question of reparations to the world court, or any commission, or anything else, exoept the will of France. A world court would be con venient for tying up the United .States in Europe's troubles and re sponsibilities, but France does not intend to submit to it. It’s a good trap, but not fov Frenchmen. Steinmetz, whose demonstrated genius among electricians, com pels attention, says men will soon work only four hours a day and "five months vacation out of every 12” is the program that he sees ahead of human beings. There is no doubt that the work done by the world now, on the eight or 12-hour day basis, will be done easily in a four-hour day, with machinery fully developed. No doubt whatever that in fu ture human beings will be able to feed, cloth and lodge themselves, about all they accomplish now, by working fou. hours a day or even less. Regardless of machinery, how ever, men will not he satisfied to work four hours a day. They will want frequent change in their oc cupation, freedom from monotony. They will demand freedom from the job that keeps them hammer ing on the snme piece of automo bile machinery, turning the same screw, fastening the same part onto a pair of shoes, or making only buttonholes. Men will want freedom from monotony, but they will never want freedom from work. A race worth while will finish with its chores, the mere earning of a living in four hours or less and probably, very much less when I automatic machinery does all the heavy work. Rut a pace able to accomplish -uch things will work other hours, more hours than now, developing this earth, increasing knowledge, draining -marshes, irrigating de serts. developing and applying scientific possibilities. Man wasn’t put here merely to put clothes on his bod^, food in his stomach, then sleep and enjoy a long vacation. He is the earth’s gardener, the agent here of the power that rules all the suns and the planets. There will be plenty for men to do, 12 and 16 hours u day, after they solve their little problem of getting enough to eat and enough to wear. The new work will be different, however, as it will be attractive, instead of being what it is now, for the great majority, dull slavery. It will interest Americans, espe cially workmen, afraid of Eu ropean competition, to know that Japanese land owners and Japan ese laborers now complain bitterly of American competition, in the production of Tice. The state of California makes a specialty of the “big” rice, pre ferred in Asia, and knows how to produce it with machinery, capital and intelligent labor at a lower cost than cheap Japanese labor ran produce it. California sells to Japan 148, 000,000 pounds of rice a year, at $3 a hag, a higher price than southern rice growers get here in the United States. You worry less about foreign competition and our inability to compete in foreign markets when you realize that California where men own their homes and their automobiles, and get good pay, they can, by intellectual mechani cal competition, take $50,000,000 a year from Japan for the rice eaten by cheap Japanese labor. There is no problem that intelli gence can’t solve. (Copyright, 19?2.) Bees Sting Woman When She Objects to Their Presence llistings, Neb.. Aug. 24.— Bees took possession of the, home of Mrs. A. C.
