SALVATIONISTS WILL TAKE UP SOCIAL UNREST 'BOOZELESS BARS" IS ONE OF METHODS ADOPTED IN LARGE CITIES FOR HANDLING BIG PROBLEM. Birmingham, Ala., May 24. The Sal vation Army is now perfecting plans for combating the great social unrest in this country, by sane methods, and a brief outline of the Salvation Army's plans are given in the following tele gram to headquarters, which contains Commander Booth's statement: . ., "With a determined grip upon the decadent saloons in various localities, they droop and die with the passing' of John Barleycorn and with a pro gram for holding and serving tho groups of thirsty patrons who shall henceforth learn to like boozeless bars, the Salvation Army has taken another stride forward and is about to assert itself among te masses in big cities where unrest among the toilers is greatest. Spike the discontent where it is, nail the great unrest is the slogan with which the Salvation Army, operating in eighty-three citie sand towns of Amer ica, will attempt to better serve and thereby sooth the seething hosts of working men and working women who are trying to adjust themselves to new industrial conditions after "the war, aad who are battling fiercely with the high cost of living with rent profiteers itnd in some instances with lack of em ployment. .. . If it takes every square foot of space under the roofs of Salvation Army buildings in the United States. Where our present charges can be crowdad up a bit and consolidations of service by made, we will go down into the depths where social and industrial scald tips lowest and put ourselves at the serfrice of men, women and chil dren, who need quick and practU-al help. We know of no greater service that can be rendered to our govern ment or indeed to humanity, at this moment than to confront and ; strug gle With the great unrest. It must not be forgotten that any discontent among the masses which disturbs nationj to day really exists among the class from which we spring and indeed from the people who made it possible for ua to develope, for after all, we are an or ganization of the poor, for tho poor and by the poor, with all of our equip ment with all our powers of persua sion and above all with intelligent help, wisely applied we shall aid the poor to meet emergencle sof eviction, hunger and idleness. We cannot do It all, but we can and will do our utmost and to that end, our program of hu manitarian work for the future is now being shaped up. Every dollar coming to our hands in this drive must go for sensible relief and we shall in stantly widen and deepen our facilities for reaching and caring for those Who are now unhappy through privation, and therefore, discontented and dis satisfied. Our methods and facilities are too well-known to need explanina tion at my hands. If we were able to serve Uncle . Sam in France, we are sufficiently awarded by knowledge of that fact, but perhaps we can now render that country an even great&r service. At least we shall earnest ly undertake so to do." . , CHICAGO BANKER MAKES INTER ESTING STATE. ME NT TO U. S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, EDU CATION SERVICE.

LIBERTY BONDS Don't sell unless you are forced to ; If you must sell see John J. Arnold, vice president of the First National Bank of Chicago, on the solicitation of the division of pub lic works and construction develop ment. Information and education ser vice of the TJ. S. Department of Labor, has made a statement on "Inflation and Prices' in -arhich he says it is futile the popular opinion that the United modify prices. Arnold's statement is being circulated by the information and education service. The Chicago banker dissent from the popular that the United States states has become the world's "banker" and 'points but that we are a creditor nation only and as such bur responsi bilities are heavy ones, not without dangerous possibilities. "The situation which confronts us is serious", says Mr. Arnold, "and it may be necessary that our government ac cept from the European governments further government bonds, or promises to pay, for the interest which will ba due from year to year. "It is desirable from every view point that government financing should be discontinued at the earliest possi ble moment. . Private enterprise should be stimulated by private financing, which will most quickly bring about deflation. "- ' "The high cost of commodities and labor of course, is partly due to the increased- demand for raw materials and the curtailment of production for peace purposes. ' ' "The world .today is glutted with government securities, which include both bonds and the medium of circula tion known as currency, and the sooner we begin the process of reducing both the sooner can we figure on a lower cost of living. "From the standpoint of the student of economics, - it is absolutely futile for peace industry to wait longer for pre-war commodity prices, and. every thing should be done to encourage the resumption of peace business, which alone can accomplish what we all de sire. - : "In other words, the production of new wealth is absolutely essential for the reduction of costs. The normal way to reduce the price of wheat is through the farms producing a large quantity. That it to say, we must place the emphasis on a greater production rather than consumption of commodi ties, while in the field of governmental securities the opposite is the end to be accomplished." Mr. Arnold calls attention to the act that increasing loans and deposits in equal amounts, without limitations, shows no added . ttrength to an Insti tution and may prove even dangerous. Loans within the power to pay are legitimate and - reflect, probably, a healthy state of affairs, but Mr. Ar nold points out that in Europe gov ernment obligations have been made beyond the! rability to py -within a beyond their ability to pay within a to the fact that much of - the gov ernmental borrowing has been for de struction rather than construction, and, therefore much of the money in these loans has been spent for things which produce no -vealth and have no earn ing power. Mr. Arnold suggests that the United States use the interest paid by foreign countries on - their loans for a "re habilitation fund" to be spent in Eu rope which would mean that for the period of time required for the re building of Europe we would be loan ing our funds Without interest. "I think it is generally admitted." says Mr. Arnold, "that the greatest Investment we, as a country, have ever made was when we remitted China the amount of the Boxer indemnity. This has brought about an understanding between China and America and a re lation of friendship which could not have been accomplished in so short a time in any "other way. A contribu tion such as I - am surgestlng , would forever eliminate the charge of 'dollar diplomacy" in our international life, but even aside from the harvest which we would be likely to reap In friendship, I am confident that in the long run It would prove profitable even in dol lars and cents."
