At all events, no region can long retain an ascendancy without an adequate supply of the useful metals and coal. ' ' Empire still means industry and commerce, and the motives for these today are like the motives of yester- day. As the quest for food was the stimulus of early civilization, so the quest for better food and for more of the comforts of life is the stimulus of our own in- dustrial expansion, but the modern life is immeasurably the more strenuous. The Argonauts sailed the seas for go...ld, but their efforts were feeble compared with those exerted in the present search for iron and for others of the " baser " metals that are now so essential to human welfare. The problem of finding an adequate supply of prop- erly trained labor will always confront those who are developing new industries. In a sense the most mobile of commodities, labor is in many ways the most difficult to move. But with millions of men dragged out of their provincialism by the exigencies of the late war, it seems that labor of all classes will 'be more mobile in the future than ever before.
