THE POST tion and improved products In order to meet these demands, increased educational standards are required. Formerly a high school graduate could hold a paying position, but now in many cases the requirements have been raised to the college basis. Socially, the demands have kept pace with tlie educational conditions. To attain these, an individual must indulge in wholesome amusements, have some religious profession, and on the whole a higher mentality. As a result of the increased demands with which people are unable to cope, they are thrown out of work, and the present uncertainty follows. Not only are people out of work in the city, but on the farm as well. The slogan, Food will help win the War, ’ was truly realized during the war, and now we should bend our energies to help supply the starving countries of Europe. To do this wc must use all kinds of improved machinery which makes it possible to accomplish more in a given time, and also to have a better grade of production. But this has its disturbing influence in that the machinery is taking the place of the farm hand; consequently many people are out of work and are aggregating in a great throng of idlers who sit around on goods boxes and whittle away their opportunities. Another problem of the agriculturist along scientific lines is, “How are we to maintain the fertility of the soil and guarantee the yield per acre? Even though a solution to these problems of production should be found, where lies the profit of the Illinois farmer when he receives only forty-seven cents for a bushel of corn, forty- two cents of which must go for transportation? Is the plan advocated by the new farm organizations to pool one-third of all grain for the sake of enforcing a certain price better than the long time contracts formerly used by grain dealers? The problem of organization among the farmers seem to be the leading question, and until they can organize along the same basic as other industries, this agricultural disturbance will continue. Certainly no discussion of the present economic unrest would be complete without due consideration of our great sociological complexities. No longer can we frighten our American negro with strange sounds and white-robed figures. He has had his part in saving the world for democracy and must have his share in that great govermental policy. Does democracy mean an open door to all, or does it mean a more careful selection of basic material for our future generations? Sometimes we of the East feel that our California friends are too prejudiced against the Oriental, and still when we read of the craftiness with which he is stealthily gaining control of American industry, we feel that some more rigid restriction must be made. The questions of immigration and assimilation seem based in the fact that The Peace of Versailles, ’ has been only a vision. The attitude of theUnited States toward this treaty has much to do with the present political and economical dissatisfaction. Its failure lies in its inability to meet the demands of the social, political and economic world. The war has caused a great up-
