NEW ARGENTINE PRESIDENT
TO BEAR CAPITOL BUILDING
GRAFT OF FIVE MILLIONS
(By United Press)


Buenos Aires, Dec. 13.-The ventila-
ton of scandal as awful or worse than
the Pennsylvania state house scandal
connected with the construction of the
Argentine national capitol today prom
ises to be an early incident of Hipo-
Ito Irigoyen's recently begun regime
as president.
Work on the capitol was started
about 10 years ago. 1t is nearly, but
not quite done.
The original plan was to spend
100000 pesos, or $2,640,00O United
States money. In fact, 32,490,22O pc
SOS, or, to be exact, $14,295, ,696.8O, has
gone into the building. 1t has been
charged in print and practically proved
that of this sum about 100000 pesos
or $5,280,0OO was "graft."
1t is understood that President Iri.
gcyen is getting ready to start civi
and riminal proceedings against the
persons accused of sharing in the
plunder. They are said to include
some big contractors and numerous
politicians of great prominence.
The building is a small edition o1
the Washington capitol and is popu
larly known as the "palace of gold,
because it cost so much.

contestants will give them $15 sub
scriptions, but few, if any, would pay
out a larger sum for single sub

That great appropriations by con- gress do not in themselves make navy lis recalled by the fact that the dread thoughts authorized by congress a year and a half ago have not yet been started and will not be for some months yet. Capital ships the construc- tion of which was authorized by the British government since congress passed the appropriations of year and a half ago are already at sea and have taken their place in the British line. Our ships are still on paper. Also it will take many more appropriations and larger ones than the last before we have a trunk line to the interior of Alaska.

ton of food and war munitions. She has plenty of gold but is short of things of use.
 Yesterday we printed a dispatch Srom New York announcing the incep- tion of the Feed America First movement. The purveyors of bread in New York have found that the expor- tation of wheat and flour in large quantities has raised the price of flour so high that bakers cannot put loaf of legal size on the market at profit. If this high price for flour continues long, il means that they will cease putting loaves of bread on the market at all.
 These New York bakers want the federal government to place an em- bargo on flour and wheat. If the pres- sure brought to bear on Washington becomes strong enough the embargo will be declared. Quite likely condi- tions are not bad enough yet to cause such a pressure to be brought, but we are drifting that way rapidly.
 If war because it takes men from useful occupations, causes a shortage of foodstuffs, is it not also possible that shortage of foodstuffs will put an end to war?

FEED AMERICA FIRST"

Civilized man does not live unto himself alone. His welfare, often his fate, is bound up with the welfare of the people about him, indeed in a broad and often unsuspected way. of the people who inhabit the same planet. As the comic cartoon depicting the Kelley pool game often says, we're Ill here together"
 In a community where most of the people are industrious, frugal, pros- porous, and pay their bills on the dot it is easy for man similarly inclined to do business and get along comfort ably. Among a slovenly, improvident, dishonest people who pay no heed to their obligations an honest man would have hard time to prosper.
 A farmer of the old type who rais ed and made nearly everything he wanted to eat or wear and found him. self surrounded by people who had gold but who produced nothing and made nothing to use and who sold the whole product of his farm to his neighbors would at the end of the transaction find that he had a lot of gold but noth- ing to eat and nothing to wear. If he could not exchange his gold for com modities he would not be in as good q position as he was when he owned the food, and wool and what not which he could use.
 Owing to the War, many nations are finding themselves in the predicament of such q farmer. Neutral nations have been selling their food products iron, chemicals, rubber and other in- dispensible things to the nations at war and have received gold therefor.
 For two years this influx of gold has looked very pleasing to them. Now, they are beginning to wake up to the fact that gold is of no use to them if they cant satisfy their wants with it. The warning nations were willing to give their gold for products and the neutral nations were more than will ing 10 receive the gold for their pro- ducts. The nations at war needed the food, steel, etc., because. being other wise occupied they could not produce for their own needs. In other words, the war, because it has taken men from productive labor has caused shortage of commodities, especially foodstuffs and now the neutrals are be- ginning to feel the pinch.

day in the first of series of confer
ences with committees from the cham

pathetic strike, again treatened by
more than half million workers.
Despite the fact that Theodore

had flatly declared that he will not

Next Friday is the day set by the
union leaders for their action. AT

has been reached, they will convene tt
