J. von Bernstorff, German Ambassador to the U. S. «J^AY the New Year bring to the suffering world durable peace with justice; for without justice there can be no happiness, and without happiness there can be no durable peace. May the people of our country never be unmindful and unworthy of the happiness they enjoy, and may America's example be a guide and an inspiration to the governments and peoples of the earth." Oscar S. Straus, Public Service Commissioner. "EMPLOYERS as well as workers are more and more appreciating the human equation, and realizing that mutual respect and fairness produce larger and better results than suspicion and selfishness. We are all coming to see that there should be no stifling of labor by capital, or of capital by labor; and also that there should be no stifling of labor by labor, or of capital by capital. "The use of steam and electricity, resulting in the development of largescale industry with its attendant economics and benefits, has of necessity erected barriers to personal contact between employers and men, thus making it more difficult for them to understand each other. "Must it not be that an age which can bridge the Atlantic with wireless telephone, can devise some sort of social X-ray which shall enable the vision of men to penetrate the barriers which have grown up between men in our machine-burdened civilization?" John D. Rockefeller, Jr. **pEACE and plenty are the portion of the American people. Let us be sharers of our God-given plenty with Europe's war-stricken millions, and bearers to all the world of such peace as is our own — the peace that rests upon equity between man and man, upon righteousness from nation to nation. To the least of men and peoples may the year 1917 bring peace and justice and honor." Rabbi Stephen S. Wise.
