SOCIALIST LETTER OF
THANKS TO J.P. MORGAN
Pennsylvania Committee Commends
His Trust Course.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. III Pier
pont Morgan will soon receive a letter
from the State committee Of the Social
list party Of Pennsylvania thanking MIN,
las the representative OF the trusts,
for the aid which. IL is declared, he is
giving 10 the Socialist movement IL The
United States The letter. which is
signed by Frederick Long. secretary Of
the state committee. reads in part as
follows:
The contest between the employer
and the employed grows ever sharper.
Hand in hand with the growth Of mo-
uopoIies goes the arnihilation OF small
Industries. and OF the middle class de-
pending on them. Ever larger grows
the multitude Of destitute wagewOr,Oers
and Of the unemployed and ever fercer
the struggle between the class Of the
expIoiter and the exploited.
Socialists demand that this struggle
shall cease. but IL will cease only with
the elimination OF its causes. To elm
mate these causes il is necessary
10 abolish the private ownership OF the
modern tool OF production-the trust
and place it's ownership in the hands OF
the people. To accomplish this IL Is
necessary 10 arouse the wealth pro-
ducers to a recognition OF their class
interest and weld them into compact
political force. This the Socialists are
doing. and the development Of the trust
constantly accelerates the movement.
Our ultimate goal is the cooperative
commonwealth. but in striving for II we
do not hesitate TO seize any opportunity
TO improve the condition OF the work
ing class. such as securing a shorter
workday. increased wages, chiid-laboT
laws factory regulations. employers il
ability acts. etc.

States now numbers one-third Of a mil

Britain's Blue Book AcCreditS
Enterprise to Allies.

LONDON. Eel 1.-THE Venezuelan
blue book which was issued last night
clears up one or two points in regard
to the Venezuelan affair about which
there has been a good deal of misap-
prehensicn-
While Lord Lausdowne expressed in
July his readiness to confer with Ger
many with a view TO Joint action the
first suggestion for joint naval dem
onstration by England and Germany was
made by the German ambassador in Lon
don last August. II was England. how
ever. that proposed that the allies should
seize the Venezuelan gunboats. Lord
Lansdowne suggested this plan in con
versation with the German ambassador
i'm November.
The blue book sets forth in full Sir
Michael Herbert's report to Lord Lans-
downe on his disagreement with Mr..
Bowen. dated January %. The British
ambassador says in his report:
The italian ambassador. the German
charge d'affaires. and called tonight on
Mr Bowen. informed him that we were
forced to reckon with public opinion in
England. and that it might be neces-
sary to faH back on the international
tribunal at The Hague We were unable
10 obtain satisfactory answer from Mr..
Bowen. who was very obdurate.
He ultimately made a statement in
reply in the following terms;
" I object to paying first the claims
OF the allied powers and the claims o.
the other nations afterward. because.
firstly, I think II is unjust. unfair. and il
legal TO tie the hands Of the said other
nations for the period OF five or six
years that Il would take to pay the
claims OF the allied powers.
Secondly. if l recognize that brute
force alone can be respected in the col
lection OF claims. ] should encourage
the said other nations 20 use force also.
Thirdly. ii the allied powers wanted
preferential treatment they should have
asked for IL at the beginning. Mr.. Bow
en- added. however. that he was willing
10 grant a months preference"
This was the only mention in IL blue
book OF the dispute between Sir Nh hazel
and Mr.. Bowen.
