Dec, 2l.-(Via The Hague to London
-Lodz the great manufacturing cen
ter of Poland, is today city of want
and misery. Beautiful young girls are
offering to sell themselves into white
slavery in the hope Of gaining food and
shelter.
Lodz's population is 100000, It's
factories are closed and 10000 men
and women are idle. Even if there
was market for their products the
factories could not be operated, for
lack Of coal. The petroleum supply is
exhausted also.
The food shortage has resulted in
appalling conditions. Bread is selling
at 30 cents loaf. Great crowds
stand for hours in front of the bak-
cries waiting for a chance to buy the
little that is offered. They fight for
the food that is doled out to them.
The people say the Russians who re-
treated from the city before the Ger
mans advance stripped it of supplies.
The suffering is relatively greater
than anywhere in Belgium. Men,
women and children shiver in the
streets, begging for food, I saw a
score of girls, driven to desperation
by hunger, offer themselves into lives
Of shame to get something to eat

BY MORRIS HILLQUIT,


Representing the Socialist Party.
The object of the Socialist party
may be summarized in few words
the naturalization of industries. The
Socialist party believes the principal
industries of this country, upon
which the life and welfare of the COM
munity depends, should NOT be own
ed, managed and controlled by in
dividuals or private corporations for
personal benefit and profit and
WITHOUT regard to the public well
fare, but should be conducted as
SOCIAL FUNCTION, primarily for
the benefit of the community, by re-
sponsible agencies of the people or
ganized for THAT purpose. Con-
cretely stated, socialism demands the
collective ownership of the principal
tools, sources and resources of
wealth production When l say col
lective ownership, l do not mean the
national ownership of all the indus
tries in the country.
The socialists would abolish pri-
vate, irresponsible ownership and
would substitute social ownership IN
such form as is, in each case, best
adapted to given industry. For in
stance, we advocate national owner
ship of, say, interstate railroads,
telephones, telegraphs and other
means of transportation. You might
well conceive of a national owner
ship of mines or of such industries as
are generally organized on natural
scale, such as the great classified in
dustries of the country. We would
probably conceive of certain other in
dustries best managed by the state or
municipal governments
The system of socialism, as we I'M
derstand it, does not necessarily ex-
clude from private ownership and
management purely individual indus
tries, such as the various arts, crafts
and other industries not based upon
the exploitation of labor. but based

Deputy Hire Again.

The Enterprise last week clipped an
article from the Akron News giving IN
account Of the county treasurer and
clerk turning a big balance into the
treasury from their Offices and then, In
commenting on the article, says:
"And yet We have some people III
Phillips county who say IL Is impossible
for an officer TO conduct the county
clerks or treasurer's Office without dep
uty hire"
Well, this was no doubt intended as a
slap for the Herald but IL never touch
ed US. simply for the rcnson that the
Herald never took the position that at
Is impossible for an officer to eondue,
tho county clerks or trcnsurer's Office
without depu y hire.
We did claim that no man could do
all the work Of the county clerks office
work ing only within ordinary working
hour and his contention has been
made good by the present county clerks
experience In tho Office for one year.
