I I I A The Evening Journal Journal Publishing Company of Untiled. FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1919; DiriXlTY BTVDENTa At tn Montreal Presbytery this week, Rv, W. Wooumwc, of Ottawa, deplored the luck of recruits for- the ministry, emphasising two principal reasons Tor the present situation the war and inadequate remuneration for ministers. As to remuneration, there will bo general sgreement Tut JociJai. baa many times urged that inadequate salary in mlnUtrlal ro(Ioa -was- a ewrlo obstacle te-tne maefutneaa- of the 'church.

Young men cannot be expected to go Into the ministry or to stsy la It when aalariea ars Insum- dent to maintain themselves and their famlllca properly ari when other flelds of endeavor offer attractive ducements. On, the other point; Mr. WooosiDa espressed the opinion that divinity students should sot bare been enrolled with the colore. It waa a mistake In Christian cltlsenshlp to let them go. Tbia argument la not ao Indisputable.

It 'la Important that the' church abonld hare sufficient miniateti to carry 00 its work, but the church will not tall to And tbem, and meanwhile waa more- Important than anything elae that there should be men to carry on the war, and all were needed. And It waa essential'. Important that tha church ahould be wholly Identified with tha prosecution of tbt war essentially Important for the church Itself aa well as for the success of the war. In helping to prosecute tha war aa they did, the divinity atudenta who went with the color not only performed tbe highest service poailbls for Christianity, but they empussuied to the world the fact that our cause waa a Christian cause, that tha war waa holy war. Their usefulness to humanity was probably far greater than It would bare been bad they remained at notue to fill up the ministry.

And. the fact that tbe divinity atudenta enlisted so generally and that minister also gar up Uielrwork In Canada and went to Franc to share the hardship of tha men aa dauntless chaplains, has done more than anything could have done to chance popular respect for tha church, and in that tbe church and the people have abundant compensation for (be depletion of the rank of Ita ministers. FROWSTS Of A KEXV AGE. A meeting of Social-Democrats In Toronto stood 'up for a minute in silent tribute to the' memory ot Cam. LiieKKBCHT and Rosa Luuviscao, German Spartacan Socialists reported killed.

It applauded frantically speakers Who declared thattbe Russian and the German 1 revolutions were the hope of tbe world the sices ot which depended on their spread to every other country, including Canada and who reterrcll to the Bolshevists of Russia as "our brothers on the other side." The Social-Democrats assembled agreed tho way. to "make the country right waa to" "go home and decide on an industrial strike and tie tip the-country" so that then the Government would petition them to atopi It cheered all similar proposals But we doubt tbe alarm such demonstrations cause in some quarters is warranted, TbeaeCanadlan Bolshevists do not seem really dangerous. -They 'are only amusing themselves. A few year igo there ware in large cities cults which went In fof what they called "futurist and "cubist" art. They drew pictures and wrote verses that bad no meaning and seemed to get a lot of fun out of It.

didn't hurt anyone or anything. These Canadian Bolshevists string together a lot pf phrases Into a meaningless Jumble and fa spooling tbem they apparently enjoy themselves. There is little more sense to them thaa there waa to the "futurist" drawings and verses and they are not much moro likely to corrupt sane people. The leader at the Toronto meeting advised that his followers get together la little groups tor the Stud of theoretical socialism, declaring that they war, the "prophets ot a new age, heralds of a new civilisation to bring the soul Into humanity, to bring life, Joy, love, light and liberty into the world." People who don't go la tor that sort of thing hare no Idea of th amount of real enjoyment those who assemble In those little group and talk ot how far ahead of the world, they are and discuss ways to bring the soul into humanity will derive, atiybhe' deny' them their fun To our part, our sympathy goea out to' the Stratford octal-Democrat recently released, from Jail, who Was prevented from' attending. the Toronto social evening, according to the chairman's announcement, because he bad to attend to hjs 'duties a a Grand Trunk foreman.

''We hope that tha next meeting a strong resolution' Is adopted giTlng the Grand Trunk fita for keeping men under such oppression, .1.. A CX1FORU IXTERXATlOXALWAGKt One of the most Interesting Wnouhcementa to come from the Peace Conterfnce thus tar, that tells ot the formation of a special committee to deal with International labor problems, and suggests that among matters to be dealt with la the feasibility of a Uniform laternaUonal wage. It Is quite understandable that with the formation pt a League ot Nations, a number ot progressive labor laws, now In force In Great Britain and tha United States, should be incorporated Into tbe ma chinery of the League, that la to applied to th rations which enter Into the alliance. But we Imagine It Is a vastly dlfferenrand more difficult project to at tempt provWon of a uniform scale ot wages in any given number of countries. No ons doubts but that uh an achievement would work a vast deal ot good fit only to the workers, but to humanity as a whole; I there are so many conslderatlbna which, appear to i la tha that tbe attempt seem almost, as a dream of visionaries.

for example, could be accepted aa a uniform ais, havfrs; rrgard to th fact that ths purchasing rower of psoiicy mleht vastly differ in varioa natlonsT mey, of iUelf, is not wealth, but represents merely 't can be secured for It in exchange. The British Canadian' worker might obtain tb same scale of f. an eight but If tha Britisher's pound l--Mfci a puichaMng power la Britain, double the Canadian's five dollar bill In Canada, could l- I uniform?" Surely sot. It may bo srgaed. of course, that wKh wage made anjform.

the coat of living la tha several countries affected would also beeoma anltornv but that Is a very au poaittpn, becaua there are many other things besides wage which enter Into the coat of production, and, consequently. Into tbe opat of living. Rich natural 0 resources, water powers, easily accessible material. transportation and distribution facilities, climatic 'eon dltlona, machinery, education all these enter Into the coat of necessities and the. purchasing power Of money Just as much as do tbe wages of labor.

The-truth would seem to be. In fact, Ibat there are Immutable laws of nature which no mere man-made regulations can circumvent, such as 1 racial character! tic, climatio eondltlons, the fruits of Ignorance, the cob-webs of long custom, and1 many many other thing one can summon to mind even without lengthy research. 1 And yet the suggestion of uniform wage for work era throughout the greater part of tbe civilised world opena up a vista to the imagination vast la its poasl bllities Indeed. wovld, mean. If feasible, a great healing Influence upon the growing number social eruptions upon the body of tbe world.

It wo aid largely eliminate the poverty and misery which are the parents of discontent, tb breeders of anarchists and Bolshevist And it would go a long way to remove one of tbe remaining ezcuaes for tariffs and economic barrier protection of products in high-wag countries from the sweated products ot cheap labor In other lands. Whatever be te result, whether an international uniform wage law be found feasible or otherwise, labor stands to vastly benefit from the deliberations of the nation In Paris. The programme of the American delegates, for example, provides for the Incorporation of several vital labor principles In the peace treaty. including an International child labor law, protection tor women workers, the regulation working condt lions, and an agreement on the hours of labor to con stitute a universal work Tne British Government, according to" Mr. Biases, Is backing up the Amerleax programme with progressive proposals of Its own; and.

having regard to these, as well aa to other consider ations, there never was a time in' the world's history when tbe prospect for workers was as bright And so may It be. For all ot us fulfill some degree or other the penalty fixed upon humanity In th, Gardea of Eden at Jhe beginning jfjthe race, and wbatevec. uplifts Jabor must make for greater good and advancement and happiness to ths whole ot mankind. TUB MONEY WM REQUIRE. Speaking In Winnipeg on Tueaday Hon.

Abthvs Hchihch said that In the coming year the Government proposed spending railways Vnd 000.000 on publlo works. Add for a shipbuilding programme, $75,000,000 for soldiers' gratuities. $50,000,000 for Interest on the war debt and $40,000,000 for pensions and we have the staggering total of 000.000; this, too, without Including heavy necessary expenditure until demoblllrstlon la completed, or the large amount required for expenses of the country. Taken altogether, expenditure this coming year on capital and Current account ahould not fall far short of $450,000,000. Having regard to the fact that the total revenue for 1118-19, ending March" iC will not exceed $320,000,000 this Including some $30,000,000, from the War Profits Tax, which may have to be discontinued next year what is to be said to these who talk about abolishing the1 tariff without even bothering to substitute something else to provide revenue In Its stead? 4 TB KVB8IA DEClBlOXr Although the decision ot the Peace Conference on Wednesday In regard to Russia Is described by the official communication from the Conferences as ths adoption of President Witaon'a proposals, reference to the cable news' ot the last few days Indicates that "it is also acquiescence Mn Mr.

Lura Gsoaos's proposals. 8me days ago it was reported that th British Prime Minister proposed that representatives of the Bolshevist Government should be admitted to the Conference and subsequently M. Pichox. French Foreign Minister, was qnotedf as being vigorously opposed to the suggestion. Mr.

Llots Geohgi waagenerally' misunderstood, how ever. In, some quarters it was even taken that he favored giving tdcMsn and Tsottxt a sUtu at the Conference. It has sine been explained that what he desired waa that ths Peace Conference, in order to arrive st abetter understanding ot th ftuialan altuatlon. should hear expositions from atf: parties' la -Russia. Including the Bolshevist Government A Renter cable of the date of January 11 aald: i Hauler's Agency learns, 'with reference to misunderstanding that seems to have arisen concerning the attitude of Premier Xxotd Osoaaa regarding Russia and the peace confer-" ence, that the Prime Minister's suggestion has not been that Ltnxn and Tbotzkt should be Invited to sit at.

the peace conference as repre-" senUtlve of Russia, but, la order that the as- soclated Governments In Paris might have tb fullest and most rellaula Information concern-Ing the position ot that country represents- ttve ot all sections of Russtan publlo opinion. ahould go to Paris in order to express their views. This not at all the same thing as a proposal that they should be invited to the peace conference. The only difference between the British Premier, proposal and tb decision of the Conference la that Instead of the representatives- 6t Russian factions being heard in Paris before the Conference, they are ta be heard at Prince's lalands In the Sea of the Conference, as Mr. Llotd Gtnsai desired.

Is to canvass the whole opinion of Russia before attempting to. deal with that country. There Is ilUle doubt that Mr. Li-otb Ctowa and Mr. WiLsoif'Wer In sgreement from the Brst If the French delegates war opposed to even countenancing ths Bol shevist sufficiently to us them for securing full Infor mation concerning Russia they have been Converted.

Mr. Mr'ruon'a happy faculty- for interpreting Allied pur pose la ot first Importance again In explaining to the Russians and to the world the attitude and th dealr ot tha Allies toward Russia. Still It's much better to get a vague official from a Paa k. i.nin. THE OTTAWA JOTOWAL' rSIDAT, JANUARY 24, 1919.
