the Dominion Trade Labor Congress,
now in session here, considered yester-

day, il is expected of resolution
which demands thet wealth shall be
made subject TO conscription just as
men have been and that this shall be
done in the first instance.
In the debate on the resolution yes
terday it was asserted that the poor
man has nothing but his strength and
his body and this he is called upon un-
der the consumption law to give to his
country. On the other hand, II is de.
clared, vast fortunes have been mnde

meant the taking over and the conduct

of the poor and the rich on what is
termed equality, so that each win give

termined by. an investigation which is
now in progress. If it shall appear
that the Swedish government has been
the intermediary for the communications
of German officials and secret agents
in the United States with Berlin, Pres.
ident Wilson is likely to take action
leading to breach of diplomatic rela
tions between the two countries. D.
The British government has posses.
sion Of copies Of all messages sent By
Swedish officials in this country in the
Swedish diplomatic code to Stockholm
by British cable. The British govern
ment also is in possession of the cipher
code used by the Swedish legation in
Buenos Ayres in transmitting the in
eliminating messages for the German
charge 'affaires, the text of which
was made public yesterday by Seere'
tary of State Lansing. .at... 4
It was learned here tonight that the
British government has begun the
tranlation of all Swedish cipher mess
ages sent over British cables, to deter
mine whether the Stockholm govern,
ment has been guilty Of breaches of
neutrality towards the United States
and the Entente Allies. ag..
Mr.. Ekengren, the Swedish Minis
ter here, has been permitted to send
cipher cablegrams without censorship
by the state department, and in the
light of the Argentine revelations, it
would occasion no surprise if 1t should
transpire that the Swedish government
was the channel of communication be-
tween Berlin and German agents in
the United States. There is no public
evidence, however, that the state de-
partInent ever has had occasion to ques-
ton the good faith of Mr.. Ekengren.
Although Mr.. Lansing's disclosures
establish the fact that the Swedish
government was giving unneutral aid
to an enemy of the American people,
the administration is not disposed "a
take any action in regard to this Incl.
dent alone, pending developments in
the relation Of Argentina with Sweden
and Germany. .....s, y
Argentina has the chief grievance
against both nations. The German en-

destruction of certain Argentine
ships leaving no traces and had
notified his government of the
sailing dates Of these ships and of
their, destinations. These des-
patches he had induced Baron
Lowen to forward as official
Swedish dispatches.
SWEDEN SILENT
AS yet the Swedish govern
ment has made no move to ex-
plain the use of Swedish repre-
sentatives abroad as forwarding
agents for German official des-
patches, although Stockholm has
been called upon for an explana-
tion by the United States, by
France and by Great Britain. 1t
is thought here that this official
reticence at Stockholm regarding
the exposures published by Secre-
tary Lansing is largely a cloak
covering what must necessarily
be embarrassing internal reforms
in the Swedish cabinet.
Officials Of the state department
here make no effort to conceal the
fact that the United States is dis
posed to accept the unof6cial as
surances of Admiral Lindmann,
the Swedish minister of foreign
affairs. Of the regret Of the Swed-
ish government Of what has oc-
CURED and of the indignation OF
the Swedish people that their rep
resentatives abroad have allowed
themselves to be so used by the
German representatives. Such a
statement, even though made UNI
officially, would be accepted here
as a true. indication of the atti-
tude Of the Swedish public. ...
ACKNOWLEDGES TRUTH
Sweden must officially acknowl,
edge the truth of the charges
made BY the American govern,
ment, however. Until such an of.
fetal admission Of guilt is made
from Stockholm it is not at al
probable that the Swedish repre-,
sentatiyes abroad will be afford
ed the same facilities for thu
transmission of their message:

lines as they have heretofore en-.
joyed. '@

our ancestors, a few disorganized
clans living in Goshen, Egypt, were
liberated from Pharaonic tyranny.
In the throes of that emancipation
the nation of Israel was born. The
memory of that event could never be

spite of the obliterating hand OF

for liberty is SO strong in the soul
of the Jew. By the annual rehears-

fed on the ideal of liberty.
This year the Jews of the world

millions of our brethren in Russia

PASSOVER PREPAREDNESS
Preparedness, the slogan that has
for some time been agitating the
public mind of the United States, is
not new idea to us Jews. 1t has
occupied an important and conspic-
uous place on our annual program
these many centuries. Nay, it origi-
mated in Bible times. We mean, of
course, preparedness for Passover.
We have just now gone through
this preparedness period. A good

weeks before Passover Talk about

seizes every good American matron
1t is not a circumstance compared
with the preparations and the re-

household when the d-fashioned
Jewish mother launches her often

A CALL FOR PATRIOTISM.

The die has been cast. We are
now finding ourselves in state of
war with Germany. President Will
son has demanded such a declara-
ton from Congress, with which de-
nand Congress will undoubtedly
comply.
This is not the time for any dis
cussion whether this state of affairs
could have been avoided or not, and
if so, how. We have always had
absolute faith in the wisdom and
fairness of our President, and if he
finds that the United States must
take hand in the struggle on the
side of the Allies, we are perfectly
willing to abide by his verdict. Let
us hope that the entrance of the
United States upon the war stage
will accelerate the fna | denoue-
ment and bring the awful world
catastrophe to a speedy end.
There is no question as to the
duty of every American citizen in
this crisis. 1t matters not what our
former leanings were as long as our
country was not involved; we are
now for America first, last and all
the time. In the general rivalry for
patriotic service among the different
elements of the nation we shall find
the Jewish citizens of this country
as always, giving a good account of
themselves.
