0 Chicago, Nov. 15.—'To meet the
post-war situation, the worker must
be educated to the fadt that he is bet
ter oft under a decreased wage than
-i under high wages of war times, .Ralph
Van Vechten,, vice president of the
Continental and Commercial National
bank, said In an address here to
western newspapermen.
"I am npt disturbed about social

Armour & Co.. ','but I am disturbed

will increase from now on and the
price of commodities and labor will
go down. That is your problem. If
It is not clearly brought out, we are
bound to have more or less trouble."
Touching on the question of finance,

"Yet here in the fourth Liberty .loan

greater ease than five hundred mil

"It shows the-tremendou* gVowth in
our banking power brought out by the
'necessities of war. If Mr. Armour to
day wants to finance a government
contract, he may have ail his credit
exhausted-—and I mean by that he
may have his lines^lull at every bank
where he does business, but that does
not matter we have another piecfe of
machinery, and that is the bank's ac
ceptance. We can finance govern

hundreds of millions of dollars
through the medium of the bank ac

fore the war. It is an instrumentali
ty that has been brought out by war
necessities, and it is only one of sev
eral instrumentalities which have
come through this awful catastrophe.
"But, if the problems of the war
have been stupendous, I believe that
the problems of peace after the war
will be still greater. I do not think

Everywhere, in every direction and

away by shells or human hands,, are
countless strands of barbed wire,
most of It rusted by thet rains crazily

"It it takes .four years to win the

front, "it will take six years to roll

in winning it."
Take, for instance, the trip from

Fortunately there is plenty of that.
To eitber side of the road arq the

shell holes, their craters overlapping,
big and little holes from missiles of
