Appears in the newspapers, the shortage
of laborers is felt mach more acutely
throughout the l'nited States than it is
in Canada. The N es and Courier, of

Courier yesterday was told of one man.

It was told also of a gin in this same
neighborhood, a thickly wooded section,
which would -have had either to shut
down or get stall from Charleston, be-
cause it had, been unable to procure
labor to cut.w,00d. had it not been that
a hunting club not afar distant was able
to supply it. Even top-notch . prices
will not be able to increase the produc-
tion of cotton in South Carolina next
year unless conditions improve more
rapidly; and there is nut much hope of
any betterment in the labor situation.
On the contrary, farmers must expect it
to become worse. More and more negro
farm hands will be drafted into the army,
and the big prices which negro laborers
have been able to command at the
various cantonments and in other posi-
tions open to them as a result of the war
will continue to deplete the labor sup-

An Ottawa despatch in The Globe
shows how the Union Government is
climbing down from its election plat-
form. "The labor shortage is consider-
ably greater than the Government
thought when it arranged last year kir
sending Another 100.000. men to the
front," the despatch reads. "There is
good reason to believe that the program
will be gonsiderably modified. and prob-
ably at least 50.000 of the men that the
Government intended to get (or overseas
this year' wid be diverted to the even
more urgent nerd of increased food pro
duction." Compared with the great
things which the Minister. of Militia,
General biewburn. was going to do,
it•hen-he said that he wo uld•nct be satis-
fied with 100.000 men. but wanted at
least 300,000 or 400,000, this is a terrible
descent. What of the Canadian army' in
France ? Is it to he allowed to .dwindle

Party of Canada.
Ottawa, Jan. 9. -Sir WilfridLaurier
will continue to lead the Opposition an
Parliament, reports to the contrary not-
withstanding. Although persoiaally the
Liberal chieftain has desired a rest from
his long and strenuous labors for the
public weal and for national unity and
democracy, the present situation requires
that he stall remain at the helm.
Sir Wilfrid was defeated at the last
election. but by methods Si nefarious
tont it may be considered a miracle that
he had more than a corporal's guard be-
hind him. There can't be a doubt. how-
ever, that Sir Wilfrid has today as many
staunch and loyal admirers as he had in
his most successful days of power. He
still retaioe his outstanding position as

Right here in Ottawa other men from
