There is no denying that lack of fsith ia i business integrity is more lhaif any other one influence responsible for whatever of uncertainty and chaos exist in the business world today. Such stagnation of industry as persists in certain lines is due primarily to the fact that dealers have cancelled their orders or broken their contracts. In another direo--i lion there is the delectable picture of a large body of business men making a great outcry because they are required to live up to tbeir contracts, entered into, it must be said, for speculative purposes; they demand elaa because these contracts resulted in loss Instead of expected gain. And on the other side also : there are those who must be placed in this same 4 unsavory category: a contract or agreement with Labor has been proven again and again to have no sac redness in the minds tf the worker when they saw a way to better themselves materially by breaking 1L The phenomenal successes of the nation tn things material have not been achieved by disregarding the principle! of business honor snd the square deal; yet itftalmosl seems that the ' enormous prosperity of recent times, and the opportunities in all directions for acquiring riches suddenly, have dulled the moral sens of many who should he the proper models snd paragons of business integrity. There must be in these respects a sharp change or commercial distress, if not ruin, will ea surely ensue as the night follows the day. t IS exent to awaken the serious concern til ?- t .

Extravagance, which grew rampant under the loose license of the war, reached its peak within the past few months, and the reaction bat already set in. Deflation Is under way and for the next few years, unless all signs fail, the people of the country will be willing lo liv nearer to the standards of common sense, normality and efficiency than they did during the wave of inflation attendant upon and immediately following the war. - One of the most potent factor that will ' pperate in enforcing economy will be the standard of living established for labor. higher Increased remuneration wilt be essential to pay for this advanced standard. ' It is Jrue that wage have begun their decline end will doubt-l- ee drop further, but expert point out that it ia history that the wage never loses all of its gain made during' progressive steps toward better things for all. Labor costa will set an average figure higher tun before the wr, it is declared, and If this prove Irue, jt will be necessary for people tq economise In order lo be able to pay the inevitably higher .price for the product of labor. In this connection, it need scarcely b pointed out, "labor RegardlessIt FRENCH AGRICULTURAL term so appropriate as a miracle" will to describe the achievement of of the France n bringing about the vast area of her agricultural soil, pitted and scarred beyond usefulness by the ravages of war. It is estimated that between the outbreak of the holocaust in July 1914, and Ita termination in November 1918, no less than seven million acres of fair Frances' area were rendered unfit for cultivation. Recent figures received show by the French Commission in New York acres 280,000 all but that since the armistice, of this desolated territory will . be so far reclaimed as to be in a condition for sowing next spring. Four million acres, or more than half of the devastated farm lands, are already under cultivation to such good purpose that the French government has been enabled to cancel contracts for the import of South American wheat; and the great fncreaae jn the rye and barley yields as compared iyt 1920 with the harvest of 1919 these grains being used extensively Jn French b practically - insures success in feeding the cereals. Aa connation with, home-grow- n wen it was necessary last trasted with year, to import forty million ewt of wheat, the present situation is therefore encouraging in a high degree.
